Progress in Shipbuilding

It is useless to deny that our designs were
rot uniformly successful. But nevertheless
We really were progressing in the art Of ship
building in a very extraordinary manner
Times had changed wonderfully since 1865
Il must be remembered that, while during
the Civil War ships were sunk by torpedoes.
the modern torpedo was wholly unknown I'M
I'll years after 1865. Ships were lighted BY
oil lamps during that war, and long after, as
they had been for ages; now the electric light

where it was used for signalling.
Some ships built with old-fashioned

very rapidly, soon dsplscing the heavy. gun
carriages of the Boston's guns, for pivot

THERE IS NO HOPE

The day before Registration Day there was a wedding ceremony per formed at New York's City Hall every three minutes. Whether the grooms were all slackers or not is a matter of conjecture. The assumption is that many of them were. They will not so easily evade the draft; for the au- thorities have made it known that marriages contracted since the de- claration of war will not operate as a bar to service in the ranks. Conse- quently, the swift rate of a wedding every three minutes is not equal to that other record of a sucker every minute.

RUSSIA wEATHERiNG STORM

It is significant-and from our na- tional viewpoint encouraging-that while internal dissension undoubted- ly is spreading in several of the mon- archies of Europe, notably Germany and Austria, reports regarding the interior situation in Russia are san guine for the provisional government. And inasmuch as Russia holds the fate of the world in it's hands today, whatever happens in that mighty country is of tremendous interest to the world.
 It is too much to expect that the in creasing dissatisfaction in the central powers will crystalline in the same way as the liberal feeling crystallized in Russia when czarism was over thrown. For time it appeared that the food strikes might assume such proportions that the kaiser would be forced to abdicate government, but the opinion prevails in high allied quarters that the likelihood of a revo- lution in the near future is remote. The central empires may be forced to grant far-reaching reforms, and in fact may ultimately fall before the sweep of progressivism, but if the an ticipated May Day storm is weathered, it is probably that revolutionary sen- timent will subside in the face of the governments threats regarding the mailed fist.
 But there has been nothing so far to indicate that it would bring an era of danger to the new Russian govern ment, notwithstanding the fact that friends of Russia have felt deep con- cern over the after-effects of the re- volution. The provisional government is in the hands of men of great vision and understanding. and that is its strength; indeed, only calamitous aftermath could have followed the re- volution if the government had been in the control of the extremists among the element which has long been un- dermining the rule of the Romanoffs.
 It now develops that the handful of red socialists who are clamoring for a separate peace is vastly in the min- ority and their activities are looked upon as inimical to true Russia hard ly less than those of the pro-German group which fastened itself upon the czar. The army has shown no signs of mutiny, although it has demanded certain drastic reforms. which, in a measure, probably will be granted.
 In fact, viewing the situation in broad light; the surprise today is that the country is so we'll united and so likely to ignore the pleas of enemies from within and without.

VALDEZ GIRL
 DESCRIBES ALASKA
POPULAR YOUNG TEACHER
 WRITES OF VALDEZ
Miss Lucy Hon, of Fort Smith, Arkan- sas, Gives Interesting Interview to Paper of that City-Alaskans Patri- Otic and Read Much.

Returning from far off Alaska, the land of the midnight sun, reaching her home in this city, Saturday at room, Miss Lucy Hon, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Daniel Hon, 622 North 18th tells a remarkable story of the patri- otic spirit being displayed by the peo- pie in that American Territory and the loyalty to the government in time of war.
 Men in Alaska are ready to fight for America and are volunteering their services" said Miss Hon. Con scription has not been extended to Alaska, on account of that country being a territory. As matter of fact the United States government is not anxious for the fine manhood of that country to join the ranks and enter the trenches, but prefer their ser vices in unearthing copper and gold to keep the wheels of industry and the financial centers at war strength.
 Men are not being denied an Op- portunity to enlist, however, and vol unteer stations have been established in various parts of the territory. Many have enlisted and when the Uni ted States army goes to the European battle fields Alaska will be well rep resented.

TOO FAR AND TOO FAST

The American disposition is to car ry everything too far. In no other country in the world are there so many foolish ideas being followed. Anybody can get up an excitment on any street corner. The soap box ora tor is the man of the hour, everybody listening to him and too many be- lieving what he says. We go too far and too fast.
 Because other nations in the throes of war and with their ports blOckad- ed are on short ratiOns, some of our good' friends are trying to make the American people believe that they are facing starvation. In times of stress, we ought to be more thrifty and more economical than usual, but why go to extremes, compelling such a pub lie warning as Chairman Coffin has given to those predicting hard times, and as the Dry Goods Economist has given to the women of the country who are beginning to tighten their purses too tight.
 We shall have enough to eat, to drink and to wear and sufficient to help feed our allies, too, from a har- vest of a grand country like our own covering every zone, and with mil lions of acres being made productive for the first time. We shall not only have enough for ourselves, but also sufficient to supply the pressing wants of others.
 Within the past few months we wit messed wild scramble to stock up with groceries, shoes, dry goods, su- gar and all necessities of life, yet President Babst of the American Su- gar Refining Company tells us that the panic prices of many of our com modities are due to the competitive bidding of our allies for our products. Speaking with knowledge of the real situation he says that there will be an abundance of sugar not only for do- mestic but also for other demands. He tells housewives not to overbuy at high prices. This is good advice

FRIDAY, JUNE 20. 1917
OUTSPOKEN GERMAN EDITOR

A dispatch from Copenhagen shows that Maximilian Warden, described as the German 'enfant terrible" has not materially altered his attitude toward the United States even though this country has declared war against Ger many. In the latest issue of his Die Zukunft, he writes another daringly frank article exposing to his German readers the "shams, pretenses and mistakes" of their government poli- cies.
 The article the dispatch says, is de- voted to the entry of the United States into the war, which Herr Har- den warns the people must be taken most seriously. He declares with a daring to which probably no other many's peace overtures were put for ward only as bridge over which Ger many could pass to relentless war fare.
 Consistent with his earlier attitude, Herr Harden has only words of high praise for President Wilson and his policy, and reaveals in various pas sages sighting opinion of Dr. AL fred Zimmerman, which he did not conceal at the time of Zimmerman s elevation to ministerial rank.
 Another article by Herr Harden eliminates in an appeal to Germany to put the interior of her house in order to introduce democratic condi- tions which the writer says is the only sure basis for future peace.
 Scarcely less noteworthy than his scathing criticism of German diplo- macy (but not that of Count von Bernstorff, former ambassador to the United States, whose work he praises) in Herr Harden's justification to Ger man readers of Americas attitude during the war and his demolition. for example, Of the favorite pan-Ger- man arguments that the United States was inspired solely by dollar chasing and looked upon war only as a source for enormous profits from munitions supplies.
 The United States. Herr Harden de- c,ares. could have continued to amass unmeasured riches, not from muni- tion contracts from which only a min- ute part of it's income was derived but as a worlds source of supply. In- stead, he adds, the United States chose for an ideal to reject con- tinuance of its profitable neutrality, to load itself with a burden of ex- penditures which no other country could safely bear. Those who would profit, he tells his readers, can be sought nearer home, in the ranks of those wanting to retain Belgium, the Briey iron district, and Courtland Li- vonia.
