II should not be taken from thls that the Northern Commercial Company are .osing money. The stages carry pas- 3engers and express in addition to the nail and considerable revenue Is de- lived from those sources. But there is not a concern better equipped to handle the mall Into the interior than
 he Northern Commercial Company, md If they cannot make money out # the bare mali contract nobody can.
 The Point ls;
 Now the government will argue that granting that the mall service Is az low IS 1t can possibly be made. the gov 4rnment cannot afford to give Fair banks better service. The govern ment Is losing money even on first llass mail. argues the postmaster. The answer Is a simple one. If the United states loses money on shipping a max mum of 1900 pounds of mail a week % Fairbanks under the thrice-a- week service and cannot give us larger ,ervice for that reason, how can the government afford to give Nome or ..uby or the Chandlar the service that .ney noN give those secuons.

 Circle and Fort Yukon. with com Jlned population in the two districts not over 4UU men, gets pound or man ,er caplta per week. Fairbanks with US many buslness houses gets about naif a pound of mail per capita per week. And all the districts mentioned are putting In additional charge on ne hauling of the mail. It costs money 70 carry it from Fairbanks even to the creeks. Just why the government should figure the distributing center rich territory of Alas ka as the town that should receive the poorest mail service of all Is hard 10

THE COST OF MAIL
 IS NOT EXCESSIVE

[ conditions here and have not taken the trouble to learn. If so, they should be educated.
 All FairbanKs wants and needs Is a square deal from the postmaster gen aral. The post masters in Alaska are doing all that they can do. The mall - ing and routing clerks stationed at Cordova. at Panama and at Eagle are not to blame. The postmasters at Cor dova. Chitina. at Fairbanks, and at the other towns in the territory are not to blame. The trouble rests with the postoffice officials In Washington.
 Win Carry 1t.
 Now. then. if Washington will give r'airbanksans the same per capita mall service that is given the people ot circle or Fort Yukon. Or. better still, of Fairbanksans will be granted he same per capita service as the contract from Fairbanks or Chatanika to the SnduuidI Cdii5 iOi oA boAh1 "AAA 61N all their mail all the time.
 The Northern Commercial Compan' will undoubtedly carry another 2.400 pounds of mail per week between Fair banks at the cost for the same rate per ton that they are now carryirns maIl. Representatives of the hrm that mas the mall contract went to Wasn- lnston and begged hard with the post master general for a chance to give rairbanksans all the mali all the tune during the eight months that the tran mail is the only mail that kalrbanksans receive, but tue postmaster general would not grant them the contract.
 Partial Relief.
 Ii the postmaster general and his assistants would study the situation m Fairbanks. If they would look into the matter. and not rush blindly at conclusions, they would soon realize that it is but right and just that Fair banks should get service at least as good as that of the other towns in the interior. Thus we would get partial relief.
 But not until the postmaster general conditions can Fairbanks hope to get better mail service. The letter that the second assistant post master general sent to the Literary Di- gest, stating that Fairbanks receives 4 300 pounds of mail a week Is either an attempt to deceive or a very sad show of ignorance on the part of the man who has charge of the transporta- ton of mails. Fairbanks gets less than l 500 pounds of mail per week. Let the whole world know 1t. In publicity there may be relief.

HOLLANDS ARMY

cluded certain students. men who were the sole support of their families, and the younger sons of a family or which the older brothers were already in service. During the past ten years an average of 22.O00 men were yearly exempted from militaryr service be- cause belonging to one or the other of these exempt classes. Now only the physically unfit are to be relieved of compulsory military duty.
 The Netherlands has learned the lesson from the war which Is making such slow headway In the United States.
 Holland has no aspirations for the acquisition of territory. It Is peace- ful and peace loving nation. There is not a hint of any possible aggressive action In the future. There were no such hints in Belgium, either before the outbreak of the present war. The new military law, which makes of every Dutch citizen @ soldier. Is de- signed and intended for precisely the same purpose as Is the law of the re- public of Switzerland. which makes Q soldier of every citizen; 1t Is for pro- tection of the country against military aggression.
 Were 1t not for the severely trained and efficient citizen soldiery of Swift zerland that country would now be overrun by the contending armies. Much the same Is true of Holland. Pie'.aredness In both countries Is the only security for peace.-Seattle P.-I.

The following is from the Fairbanks News Miner of December and con- tains much interesting information concerning the malls.
 For the entire period of eight months from October l to June l interior AL aska gets 58 tons of mall from the states under the contract let by the United States government to the Northern Commercial Company. Un- der the terms of the contract an equal amount of mail Is sent out of interior Alaska. For handling 112 tons of mall between Cordova and Fairbanks. a dis tance of 437 miles, the Northern Con- mercial Company receives S126,300. Un- der the contract the Northern Com- mercial Company is supposed to carry the contracted amount, 56 tons, in each direction. The Northern Commercial Company therefore received 31.127.67 per ton for the mail

 Is Is Excessive?
 seem excessive To the man who does not understand the difficulty of living up to the contract, the finest that may De imposed for failure to live up to the contract. the cost of food and feed on the trail, and the like, that may seem like high rate. But is it? A higher rate is paid for express. The prlce or express Is 50 cents a pound from Cnintlna to Fairbanks, and, un- derstand, this contract IS binding be- tween Coruova and Fairbanks and when the raiIroad Is blocked between brought from Valdez, and penalties are imposed for tardiness or lateness in delivery.
 The Northern Commercial Company maintains and feeds 26 men on this end Of the trail. It keeps and feeds 135 head of horses. The contract is in operation 2o2 days. The horses have to be kept all summer. But granted that only the eight months the con- eralion what and where does the ex- orbilant charge comes in?
 A horse eats 4o pounds of feed day. In talrpanks that feed Is worth 4 1-2 cents per pound. On the trail it Is worth at least 10 cents a pound. Then the average price of horse feed per day per horse. for the sake of argument. can very safely be placed at $40 per day At that rate each horse for food alone would cost S604.S0 per contract season. Then the feeding of the 135 horses would amount to S81.688. The  argument. at an average wage of $110 per month. There are 26 of them be- tween Chtina and Fairbanks exclu sive of the office force, and they work. again for the sake of argument, eight months a year. Their wages would amount then to $22,8S0.
 The Northern Commercial Company sub-leases to the Copper River and Northwestern railroad the contract for hauling the mail between Cordova and Fairbanks. For that they must pay certain price. They likewise feed their men on the trail. That also costs money They maintain couple of autos. They also cost money. The horses have to be shod The wagons and the sleighs and the double enders have to be bought and kept in repair. That also costs money. So, after the cost of horse feed and man hire the contractor has but s21,732 left to do all that Is required to maintain an effl cient service, including the feeding of the men
