~ There now can be no Withdrawing
Let us all men and women of Seattle, stand
shoulder to shoulder as true patriots in this, the
greatest crisis of our countryS history.
Let us gather Saturday evening at the Arena,
where a patriotic mass meeting is to be held, and
renew our allegiance, collectively and individually,
to the flag which to means justice and freedom,
and all that is good in life.
We of The Star have no patience with the
ulra-pacifStS who, today, with the nation taking
this momentous step, continue to preach their
craven doctrine.
At this time, any public meetings utter

national policy, encourage the enemy to believe

there is going to be real between the United
States and Germany"
And yet we are painfully aware that the de-
fusion persists among great many people in this
country that in some miraculous way actual war
is to be avoided.
So that there may be no mistake about this
We shall state the proposition in its simplest terms:
WAR BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES
AND GERMANY WAS INEVITABLE AND
NECESSARY!
War was inevitable because Germany has chal-
lenged our honor, our dignity and our Sef-intereSt
in such way that to refuse TO accept the challenge
would brand every American citizen as a coward.
The American people are not towards. There
fore war is inevitable.
War with Germany is necessary because the
United States cannot afford to take chance on the
ultimate victory of Germany over Great Britain
and France, however slight that chance may seem
to be.

In the party with Mr. Jensen were Isaac Berg and George Moor.
 They landed at Hanna baN on the west shore of the Inlet and pro ceeded across the portage tO the lake, the biggest lake in the terri tory. They made al complete circuit of the lake to loatce reindeer. They observed about 1900 herded by the Indians but were unable to find a sufficient number of steers to justi- fy slaughtering and bringing a boat down from Anchorage onthe car casse3.
 While in that section ofthe coun- try MT. Jensen learned of herds Of reindeer around Bethel near the mouth Of the Kuskokwim number ing many thousands. From Lake INamns to the pasturing grounds oo the reindeer by the winter trail is a distance of about 25O miles and It is the intention of MT. Jen- sen to go into the Bethel country later i'll the winter and drive out several herds. They will be butch cred at Iliamna bay and the dress ed product will be transported to Anchorage by boat.
 Mir Jensen was entirley satisfied with nis trip and expects to start for the Kuskokwim as soon as the trails permit, which should be about the middle of November.

c. F. Fyle, of Seattle, general passenger and freight agent, of the Pacific Steamship company, who recently visited Alaska coast towns, stayed at Juneau day or so on his return to Seattle and is quoted by the Juneau Empire as having said thst without a doubt the steam ship freight rates would be raised again next spring. He stated that st the present time the rates on the California run are nearly as high a. the rail rates.
 Alaska 50 far has received every consideration possible, but the raise will have 10 come socn," he said.
 Mr. Fyle said the prices of every thing used by the company in the operation of the ships had been raised to such point that 1t is no longer possible to operate un- der the old schedule of rates and break even on the cost of operation. Recently It became necessary for US to charter one Of our boats for the off shore trade in order that her earnings might be considerably increas ed" he said.

A number of the prominent men Are using every effort in trying to induce the residents of this city to subscribe to the Second Liberty Loan bonds, and from information received today they are meeting with good success.
 Mir. Phil Abrahams in talking to a representative of this paper stat ed that If 1t would be of benefit for the people of Skagway to know 1t. he had already subscribed for $3,OOO worth of the bondc, hnd considered 1t one of the best invest ments that he has ever mad.
 There are great many people in Skagway," continued MT. Abra- hams, "who have small sums Of money laid away, and it is for the purpose of offering these people a safe depository and at the same time 6 profitable investment that the United States is offering the bonds In the small denominations.
