It is interesting to compare the economic condition of a town like Seward or any other Alaskan town with town of equal size in civilized countries In the cvlhz- ed country many of the people of the small towns have as their chief aim in life the work of getting enough to eat and dress themselves In an Alaskan town there IS so much fish and game for instance lying around that the people are tired of it. AS a rule you rather embarass person here by offering them game fish They do not want it. The trouble of cleaning it is than it's worth What happy economic position to occupy while millions of people in other parts of the world are suffering the bangs of hunger.

The turning point in the fortunes of
American shipping on the Pacific was
marked by the recent purchase of three
large ships by the Pacific Mall Steam
ship Company "and there is no further
danger of the American flag disappear
ing on the Pacific Department Of
Commerce report announced today. It
is also pointed out that the European
war has cut down the total shipping of
all nations engaged in transpacific
trade from $4,000 to 100000 tons.
| The Pacific Mail Company's purchase,
! the report says, adds 17,100 gross tons
to the 5000 tons that remained of
American shipping on the Pacific. Prior
| to the war the total American tonnage
engaged in this trade was $4,000 gross
| tons, or 21 per cent of the total, as
against British shipping's 80 per cent
! and Japanese 33 per cent.
/ Up to the Pacific Mail purchases,
American shipping had fallen OFF to
per cent, British to 80. while japanese
1 tonnage had jumped to So per cent
1 of the total, and Dutch shipping, for
merly practically nothing. to 1s per
cent.
Oriental Shipyards Busy.
/ The report says the japanese ship
/ yards are taxed to their capacity. and
orders for Japanese ships have. booked
their yards for two years ahead. al
| though one of their largest shipbuild-

not intended for Immediate use on the

Germans Show Bravery.

- =
1--WE are fighting the best organized
reflection, on our own troops not to ad-
nit that the Germans are showing ex-
traordinary bravery. Two Years ago
they had a great chance to win. They
still are exceedingly strong in en-
gines of destruction, but we at least
are even in this respect now. and.
cannot help feeling that our men,. indi-
vidually, are better. Soon we: hope to
have n distinct margin of superiority.
I'VE are able to continue to INCREASE
the arms, munitions and food sof our
troops and we will get more men if
needed, but mo- concrete proposal>has 8
been made yet to oincrease> the age Limit.
cannot say such suggestion finds me
unprepared, as before I came to the
war office I announced my policy was in
favor of mobiiizing every man in the
country under the age of sixty, so that
each could be placed in his proper place
carrying on the ordinary business of
the country. :
ys But Few Slaokers Left.
Recent raids. of the military sta
tions and places of amusement pretty
plainly have proved there are very few
slackers left and that the eligible men
under the resent compulsion law
either. are in the army or are properly
badged for other work.
II found every one at the front cheer
full. You may rest assured the offensive
will be continued. II there seems to be

societies. s. -
This does not include additional
amounts contributed personally with
out the agency of organizations, an
amount which, if it could be ascer-
tained. would doubtless foot up another
enormous total. :

$50, 900. 600. raised from all sources in
TALL countries for the commission of re-
lief in Belgium.
More than one-third. namely. $10,269,-
600, of the twenty-eight millions con-
tributed by Americas sixty, societies,
was used for relief in Belgium.
Twelve eoo organizations H raised more
$4,000 for Russia and $4,000 for
Serbia. This, with the Belgian total
makes a grand total for the entente
allies of over $4,000, 900, not including
some $1,000. 900 of American Red Cross
funds which were largely used in allied
countries.
The German Red Cross received ST.

ing the entire central power contribu-
tions to $3,758,000.

Contributions for dependent rationale
ties affected by the wars ravages total
over $9.Oo0.0oo. By far the largest
single fund of this sort is that of the
American Jewish Relief committee,
with 81, 200. .00e., to which should be add
ed almost 100000 more from the CEN
trail committee for the relief of Jews,
and $323,0O0 from the peoples 'rehef
committee for the Jewish war sufferers
The poles have received $473.000.' and
the Syrians and Armenians $4,000.
The American Red, Cross has received
from all sources 1921 ,00O, including
1851 900 from its New-York state board:
Smaller funds and unknown contribu-
tioris probably would raise all figures
appreciably. The largest personal con-
tribution is given as a million dollars.
Many people are reported to have set
aside a percentage of their incomes.
The total gifts represent about one
twentieth of the $500, ,000, 900 spent here
by the allies alone on specific war
munitions.

SUBMARINE NOT
TO HAVE CONVOY

Washington, Nov 4.-The German
embassy today, declaring it has no
knowledge of purpose to furnish a
fighting submarine convoy for the
merchant submarine Deutschland on
her return trip. agreed that such a
convoy would take away the Deutsch-
lands status as a peaceful merchant
ship. This is a well recognized prin-
ciple OF international law. embassy
officials said
At the British embassy officials
said that IL the Deutschland Is met
by convoy outside of the three-m lille
limit, she will undoubtedly supply
that vessel with fuel. which would. in
their opinion. remove her peaceful
character. The first fear was express
ed when the Deutschland left Balti-
more on her first return trip. 1t was
claimed then she carried more fuel
oil than she needed for her own use
and that she might act as a floating
base for some German naval sub
marine while on the way home.

Ing the firing squad. Garcia made a
long speech declaring he was not a
Villista, but constitutionalist. and
asked whatever government survived

famous execution place in desolate

houses. where more than 800 execu-
tions have taken place since the Mexi-
can revolution began.
The captain OF the guard handed
Garcia his death warrant to sign. He
read it aloud and signed II on his
knee. The two other men sat down
and the boy began to sob quietly.
After signing the death warrant,
Garcia wrote long letter. Some OF
the firing squad became tired, sat
down and drew their shawls around
their shoulders. When Garcia had
finished his letter, he rose and walk
ed over in front of the mud wall. The
two others followed. The firing
squad rose and ranged themselves
at equal distances opposite the band

and began a speech in which he de-
clared he was not q villista.
Suddenly he ceased speaking and
sat down with his back against the
adobe wall. The other two also sat
down. The firing squad seemed sur

aside.

he said.

the captain then walked along the
line with his revolver and gave the
