ALASKA AWAk r..

While the great Outside has been pre- pairing by various manner of means to as slst the government i'll the great war that is now being prosecuted, Alaska has not been asleep, for many and various patriotic orga- nizations have come into existence since con gress first declared that state of war ex- lsts. But during that time the territory has had little to go by i'll the matter of the un- patriotic; no law under which sedition and SeditOus utterances could be prosecuted, and a number of such utteranCes have come to light; utterances that should be prosecuted to the full extent provided by law, particularly when the executive of the nation is spoken of in defamatory terms.
 That kind of law has been what the ter ritory lacked, but the last territorial legisla- ture came to the rescue For 1t passed a law providing heavy punishment for those who talk sedition, and giving the federal off cias of the territory the authority to pun ish all such cases.
 And District Attorney Roth has signi- fled his intention to start those prosecutions, though they be by the wholesale He has been waiting for the enactment of such law as was passed by the legislature, and would probably have taken acton long ago had he possessed authority to do so. He knew be fore this time that a law had been passed prohibiting seditious utteranccs or actions, but until this time has been waiting for copies of 1t to be printed in order that he might be apprsed of it's full contents.
 But sedtion, while not exactly fragrant here, called for quicker action, Accordingly, the district attorney wired to ltneau aSkino that contents of the law be sent to him by wire, and they arrived yesterday.
 The result is that prosecutions will prob ably start in the immediate future, No more will flagrantly seditious utterances be heard on the streets of Fairbanks or any other towns in Alaska For Alaska is at last awake to the danger involved in allowing such utterances to continue unprosecuted, and those who makt them will be punished to the full extent ot the law.

ALASKA NATIONAL. GUARD.

Since the recent announcement that there would be organized an Alaska National Guard there has been more or less speculation re- gardng the duties which will devolve upon the body after its organization There is also some question as to the ages at which men will be considered eligible.
 It is not thought probable that it will be organized by any different method than slml- lar organizations in the States. As national guard units in the various commonWealths are recruited by volunteers 1t is likely that the same method will be used i'll Alaska It IS likely that any ablebodied American over the age of eighteen years who is able to pass the physical examination will be accepted. Formerly only those between eighteen and thirty-five were eligible, but since the break with Germany this limit has been taken of by an executive order, both in the national guard and the regular army
 Therefore a large percentage of those who are drilling in the towns throughout the territory will be able to enroll themselves in the guard without much difficulty. Any town or section that can raise the required number of desirable candidates can secure company until the Alaska quota is filled out
 The duties of the Alaska National Guard may not be identical with the units from the States These organizations are at present serving under the federal government and under a federal oath similar to the one under which the regulars serve There is practi- cay no distinction between the regulars and the national guard of the States under the
