KETCHIKAN. ALASKA'S FIRST PORT OF ENTRY
Arizona republican., 1917-11-11

meantime there is developing in this country plan Of overwhelming Germany in the air.
 We are not losing sight either of the fact that peace with Russia would destroy the effectiveness the allied blockade Germany would then be provided In abundance with practically all the things it needs in warface. The food problem would be solved. But Germany multiply its chances of breaking through Into France against the united efforts of the world
 Germany would, doubt, be content to hold its own on that front; 1t would gladly forego invasion Of France if only Germany itself might net be invaded Germany would probably to the Rhine a boundary and to restoration Italy with the boundary that existed before the war; provided only the original design of Germany should inter fered with Central Empire extending from the North Sea to the Indian ocean.
 There would then be period of peace for the world, but the limit of that period would be fixed by Germany. Peace would depend wholly upon Ger many. It might be ffty-y peace, a five-year peace. The world will not again leave Germany the custodian of its peace
 All will agree and do agree that the present stua- tion is very put not grave as the Stock holm dispatch suggests a would gather from the remarks of Lord French There is though gravity enough to provoke the suprsmest effort of America and the Allies.

The Mlsslon's Secret Departure

The Present Drive

We, American people, moving from great campaign to another with smaller engagements talk ing place almost incessantly. We call the great paigns drives the smaller though themselves of considerable proportions and which until recently would have been considered gigantic, may be called skrmishes, just some of the really great sattles of the war have become by comparison. skrmishes. The great campaigns have been the reg sstration drive and the two Liberty Loan drives. We have of them splendidly. The skirmishes have been the Red Cross fund and the War Work sund efforts, which have been successful
 Now we are in the midst of another great drive, R campaign in many respects, the most important of sll for if it should fail all will be lost. We mean the food campaign, the conservation of the of living and fighting, for ourselves and our allies. There is enough food for all if we would only it and could properly distribute it.
 The greatest item is grain. There is abun- dance grain for all the world. But it is too far from the people who need it and there is net enough shipping to transport It. As the nearest source of supply it remains for the people of Canada and the United States to furnish the grain which England. France and Italy desperately need.
 There is an actual shortage of beef. pork, sugar and dairy products As to these the matter of ing and lf-denial part, is important than the matter of transportation. But save n order to supply them We can a1d our allles onIy by consuming less of these things ourselves and sending a greater surplus to the allies.
 This involves sacrifice, inconvenience, but hardship part. We are only asked to change diet slightly and to eat of those things which abundant.
 There is nothing difficult about putting end to waste there nothing mysterious in the process. In ordinary times the garbage gets much food hat should not go there In these times to throw away anything that be saved and utilized, is crime Waste in these times contribution Ger success a diminution of chances of winning the

Gravity Exaqqerated

A dispatch from Stockholm regards the situation brought about by the latest Russian revolution as grave" A possibility is the overrunning of Conti- mental Europe by the armies of the Alliance after which the brunt 1e would have to be borne by England, Amer. and Japan In this connection may mention C warning by General French in address last week in which he warned the British people against any unexpected movement by the Ger nans-even invasion of England.
 We do not think there is a likelihood of either of these very grave contingencies. It would be no easier to invade England now indeed, it would be much difficult, than when Napoleon oontou- plated 1t, and than when von Noltke declared forty years he could think of hundred ways to invade England but not of way escape. So long as the British exists at its present strength say nothing of the American and Japanese nayies Ger many if successful in Continental Europe would be separated from lands beyond the seas
 There seems moreover, no reason for believing that Germany will overrun Continental Europe in the event of separate peace with Russia. Italy may be overrun, certainly will, be unless the Allies come promptly to its aid. but that would merely mean a .ransference of the to the Western front There the allies for nearly two years have than held their own tho long line between Switzerland and the North Sea. Within those two years their faci- ties for fighting have been vastly increased In the beginning they outeiassed In men, guns and raunition by the Germana Since then the Allies have taken the lead and maintained it in all branches except fin tho number and quality of air machines The mastery of the air alone is in dispute on the Western front.
 With Italy overrun there would be massing of ths warning forces along the Western front which would be extended seuthward from Switzerland to the Mediterranean. If there should bs added to the Tectonc forces in the vest there would be added to the Allies the five armies of Serran and the rapidly increasing forces of the American contingent In the

SECOND
HELLO
STRIKE
LIKELY

TacOma's strike of tele-
phone girls and linemen was
in worse tansle than ever
Monday.
Instead of a speedy settle
ment of the strike, as had
been anticipated with the
coming to Puget Sound Of
President Wilson's mediation
commission, the strikers i'm
Tacoma and other Northwest
cities were on the verge of
asking for another cOastwide
walkout.
Officials of the unions here in
timated broadly that they were
preparing to ask President Wilson
to call off his commission, because
of its apparent unwillingness to
take a definite attitude on the
settlement of the strike.
New developments in the tele-
phone strike were caused by a rul-
ing of the commission in Seattle
Saturday and Sunday that the
telephone companies should have
four weeks in which to take back
former employees.
Contrary to Agreement.
The commission refused to give
strikers any explanation for this
ruling, except that they believed
the company was entitled to rea-
sonable time to adjust itself to the
new conditions, it was reported.
This ruling was in direct VIOLA
ton of the strike agreement sign
ed at San Francisco a week ago,
in which the Pacific Telephone az
Telegraph Co. promised to take all
employees back within seven days
and give them their former posi-
lions.
The mediation commission has
already induced the local tele-
phone company at Portland to
take back it's employees under the
seven-day agreement, but has
changed its policy emphatically
since coming to the Sound.
Charge FavOritism.
That the mediation board has
not taken time to investigate the
telephone strike situation and is
playing direcly into the hands of
the Pacific T. & T. Co. in the
Northwest is the charge of strike
officials, who maintain that they
have been utterly patriotic in their
desire to mediate and effect a
quick end to the strike.
Reports that Seattle telephone
employees were returning to work
were denied by officials of the
/ union Monday. They declared
that the Seattle unions were vot-
ing Monday on the question Of
whether they should abide by the
San Francisco agreement, but that
the strikers there were as bitterly
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-12-03

opposed to the four-week period
of reinstatement as were the en-
ployes in other Northwest cities.
Conference Tuesday.
A conference of Washington
and Oregon unions will be held in
Tacoma Tuesday.
1t was predicted by union lead
ers Monday that the Northwestern
delegates would agree that the
mediation commission had fallen
down on the job and that the tele-
phone company had broken its
agreement.
II such an agreement is reach
ed, the strikers here already have
the promise Of international union
officers that California unions
will call strike at once and that
the entire Pacific system will be
once more involved.
I'VE are at a loss to under
stand either the attitude Of the
