ha, developed her undcr>ca boats and her ability to keep them proysioncd in waters so far from home,
 It Is known that months ago the Icutons were possessed of U-boats with vast cruis- ing radius The work of one German sub marine off the Atlantic coast has already been seen, and it is more than possible that since that time further improvements have been made in order to increase their cruising range There k also possibility that Ger man agents have at last been successful in establishing submarine bases on the Amcri- can side of the Atlantic and already provi- stoned them. Such an accomplishment is not impossible when the activities of these agents which have been uncovered are taken into consideration
 Ii she has established well supplied bases where oil and other supplies may be assured without having to transport them from Ger many, or if she has succeeded in developing super submarine, which is doubtful she may be able to bring the war to our very doors for short time. It Is very likely that her U-boats would be able to destroy cer- tain percentage of vessels leaving ports i'll the western hemisphere but with the large mum Der of boats being completed every day for us as submarine Chasers 1t Is not at all prob able that enough ships would be destroyed to seriously affect the European supply ques- ton. And if Germany is not able to stop the shipment of supplies to Europe, her subma rnc warfare is a failure

STARVING PRISONERS

The reports of Germany's inhuman treat ment of American prisoners, ii true, and there seems to be no question regarding the correctness of the facts stated, reveal depth of cruelty of nature and hatred for all things American in the German government that IS surprising to everyone. It is law of ma tions that citizens of an enemy country held as prisoners shall be given all consideration consistent with the safety of their captors and given a substantial ration
 There have been many stories printed from time to time concerning the subsist- ence furnished Germany's captives, and in every case there has been hardly enough to sustain life But in none of the previous in stances has the reported ration been so small and so lacking in nutriment.
 There is, possibly, reason for a short ra- ton in Germany That country is possibly lacking numbers of food articles, and has scanty supplies of others. The entire nation is reported to be on half rations, but as long as she has even half rations for her own peo- pie the prisoners should be given proper con sideration. Germans held captive by the al lied nations are given enough subsistence to keep them in normal health and strength, and these countries have the right to expect like treatment of their soldiers held by Ger many and if it is not given them, the day is rapidly approaching when they will be in a position to exact a just retributOn upon the German government.

A GOOD RECORD

The record of the American destroyer ilotilIa which Is now patrolIlng the Atlantic trade lanes i'll the European war zone Is one that reflects credit on the navy from the cn- listed man to the secretary ot the navy, and through them on the country. It 1s one that any country might well be proud ot and lndl- cates that the new American navy will at least live up to the traditions of the old one,
 As long as our jackes can keep up the work of the past live months, the critics o1 the present secretary ot the navy have small room on which to base their arguments and no consolation whatever for their pans. There can be very little occasion for complaint con corning administration where the entre 1Io- tia of American destrOyers, alter perlod oi five months cruising III waters infested with enemy submarines, can report the loss of not a single man, no m1shdps worthy o1 the name to any single vessel ot the tleet' and at the same time point to the decreas- ing number of ships being lost in the waters over which they have jurisdiction,
 We believe that there Is no one who can find any fault with the work of the destroy CTS. The results speak for themselves. Dur ing the five months they have been actively participating in the war, there has not been at any time a week that did not show de- crease in tonnage wiped out by the enemy submarines. From the time of its arrival at an English port, the fIotlla has been COL tinually on the go.
 The task assigned to it is dangerous to a certain extent, and the warfare upon which they entered was novel in the highest degree It had to learn by experience how to combat the undersca boats to the best advantage, and no actual previous practice by winch to direct its efforts, for in no former war has the submarine ever been used extensively, and Germany has developed this arm of her navy marvelously.
 Thus, under such conditions to achieve the success which has been achieved by the dcstroyers, even if it had been at great cost would be creditable, but to attain sue cess without any save incidental cost IS in deed record to which the American navy can point with pride and in which the entire nation can rejoice.

REGISTRATION CARD ISL0ST::
 MAN IF JAIL

An attempt is being made by the local exemption board 10 impress spon the men who are registered for the draft, the importance of hay
 ng their registration cards ready for exhibiting at any time called upon The gravity of the situation does not seem to be understood by some Yesterday man by the name of Steve Bartulovich, whose registration number is 93 and serial number 419, was sent a letter by the local board to vindiCate him against the accusa- ton of being called a stacker. for which he had served four days in the Mccarthy jail.
 If a man is requested by an authori- ty to present his card and for any reason at all cannot produce it he will have the same fate as did Bar tulovich until such time as he can get in touch with the board where he registered and get duplicate of his card The record of all men registering is kept and one can al way get his number and proof of registration, but it takes some time, and during that time there is only one thing to do and that is to wait in the nearest jail as a stacker until the mails or wires circulate The chairman of the local board reports another case of where man slightly under the influence of liquor came into the office flourishing his regis tration card and was instructed to take care that he did not lose it, and the informant tried to explain the value of the blue card to the owner. The next day the same man ap- peared in the office again, this time to tell the chairman that he had lost the card and to know what was going to happen to him. He was told that there was no use borrowing trouble but that the first time he was called on to produce the card would be the time to find out what was going to happen. Chairman Hei- liz says it is especially important that the men who are leaving this district be careful to keep their registration cards intact, for, although it is not an easy matter to have them replaced here, it is far more convenient than if the loser is hun dreds of miles away.

EXTENDING THE BLOCKADE.

The announcement made from London, and published in Wednesdays Citizen, that Germany will probably declare waters adja- cent to Canadian, American and Cuban coasts to be bockaded by the submarine and define war zone through which neutral ships may not travel unmolested is one that has been expected by naval critics for some time. The effect of such blockade, if it should be pro- claimed, is altogether problematical and de- pends great deal on to what extent Germany

Although beans are so rich in flesh forming material, they are poor in starch and fat. This deficiency, how ever, can be made up for by the ad- dition of rice and a fat, such as but ter, drippings or pork fat, if you want to obtain an ideal, healthful combination.

LIBERTY LOAN HOLIDAY.

,ast night, or, rather this morning early, the most of us wound up our observance in cOmmemoration Of the fiitieth anniversary of the raising of the American Flag in Alaska. It was right and seeming that we should honor this day And its observance will be celebrated every year i'll the future by future generations of Aaskans,
 Our next holiday, set aside by the gov Iernors proclamation, comes next Wednes- idav, October 24, and the official designation of it is Liberty Day. If anything, our observ- ance of this day should be more complete than was the celebration yesterday. Through out the nation it will be celebrated, Liberty Day was first set aside by President Wilson as day for special efforts toward promoting thv sale of Liberty Bonds and in order that there may be no outside matters acting as hindrances the governor has made 1t a holi day that every Alaskan may devote his en- tire time and energy to the work
 It is the privilege as well as the duty oi every Alaskan to study closely the governor s proclamation. The impor a1ce of the success oI the present Campa Sn tol subscriptions to tic liberty Loan is nos OVerestlmated i'll Il. Upon the governments aiIl'ty to raise funds depends the issue of the war with Germany Democracy must finance the war or lose the struggle to the most despotlc government in the modern history of the world.
 The outcome of the fight rests not alone on the number of men which we are putting into France nor the fleets of Warshlps which are securing the oceans in a brave and sue Cessful effort to keep the lanes of commerce open, but upon the support given them by the common people of the country.
 Fairbanks has not been backward in this campaign, but we are surely able to do more than we are doing. Quite number of us have subscribed, and more of us have only talked about it. All of us realize the neces- sity for the success of the loan, but a great many are expecting the fellow who is a little better off in this worlds goods to step up and absorb the issue Never mind the "Other fellow" The widows mite is of as much importance as the bankers entire Wad, and there is no better place for its application
 Lip service is of little avail in time of trouble-action is needed, instant and com plete, and the belief is expressed that our people will not fail in the great duty they now owe to the government which represents them in the conflict being waged between the forces of humanity and freedom against those of autocracy and oppression, asys the gov ernor in his proclamation. For the sake of the Flag, then, whose raising we yesterday celebrated, let us invest all that we possibly can and thus insure to future generations the right to celebrate the holiday which we yesterday so fittingly observed.
