THE THREAT OF WORLD WAR

It might very well be as alleged that Germans planning to prosecute the without regard to the rights of neuJrals in the event Of the failure Ot peace negotiations that have been naugurated by the German government. Yet it is not likely that the German government will adopt the plan or those who making them.
 In the first place Germany has not been pressed to the point where she afford take the position that every is a friend enemy. Her eXs- tance as Nation has not yet been placed in such jeopardy that she afford hazard her standing before the world by disregarding in wholesale man the rights Of neutraIs. In the next place, the suits Of two years fighting have shown Germany the futility Of attempting conquer the world. The aid rendered Great Britain by her colonies and Japan have shown that Germany cannot afford invite all the neutral countries of the earth to join the Allies in the war. The best that Germany could hope in
 general against the world would be continuation O the deadlock that has existed in her against great part of Europe. That being the case Ger many cannot afford risk her future standing in the commercial world of which she was very cOnSpicu- part before the outbreak Of conflict such would follow if she should make all the neutral countries enemies in gigantic war. She would have too much to lose and little to gain by such course.

DON'T WRAP IT, PLEASE"

A Don't Wrap It Please" Club is being formed n several American cities. The club is fighting for conservation. and the reduction of living cost It Is estimated that every customer at American store upon receiving package that already is sufficiently wrapped to make 1t presentable and keep it clean would ask the vendor to wrap 1t again the saving in the aggregate would be millions of dollars annually, conserve the paper supply of the country and aid the merchants to make reductions here and there that would be Of advantage to their customers. The Don't Wrap It, Please" clubs are urging people who shop to request whenever possible Don't wrap 1t, please"

DO IT.

Before the late campaign had concluded Delegate Wickersham intimated that he tavOrs full Territorial form Of government for Alaska. He has said as much in debates in Congress since the election.
 At this point the story Of the boy and the Quaker comes irrestlbly to mind Are you QuaAcr!' asked the boy. Yes" the answer. "A shaking Quaker" pursued the boy. Yes" Well, then. said the boy. do it."
 Do it, Judge WicSersham. do it. You have bill for it pending in Congress- President Wilson has said in message to Congess that he favors it. Secretary Of the Interior Lane iayors it in his annual report You have Gov. Strongs several annual recommends tions of it to back you up. The Democratic National and Territorial platforms declare for it. The majority party in the Nation is thoroughly committed to it. It could be accomplished in the next 50 days if you would bestr yourself as you did when Jim King went back there to Washington with the Juneau school proposition.
 And Alaska needs it BOW. She needs it now worse than she ever needed it. She needs it before her Legislature meets in March. That Legislature should have authority to enact real legislation for Alaska.
 Now. Judge wickcrsham if you are Quaker and a shaking Quaker. you profess. do it!

Luke McJuke Says


 Lots of men have good memor- ies But they are not the men who borrow money from you.
 When you look at what some men are carrying around on their shoul- ders, you are willing to admit that there is plenty of room at the top.
 Any time a woman feels uncom- fortable in a pair of new shoes it is a sign that they are too large for her.
 Another prize liar is the fellow who claims that he has never de- ceived his wife. If he hadn't de- ceiyed her, he would never have been able to get her to marry him. It is a compliment to tell some women that they have complexions like Peaches. But don't tell it to a woman who has a growth of white fuzz all over her face.
 After a man has seen a woman when she first gets up in the morn ing and has also seen her after she gets the Make-Up on, he is willing to admit that she is two-faced.
 The world passes by the man who is trying to explain why he failed, 90 it can hold a mass meeting around the man wbo is telling how he made good.

FRENGHMAN SEES ADVANTAGE FOR

American War Loans Are Best for Any of the European Nations

From the exclusive sources in Par. is the international News Service l has received the following article by IG. de BarOne. the noted French fi- Inancial expert. M. de Ba-one, Is recognized as one of the leading au- thorities on finance, not only in France, but throughout Europe. Since the outbreak of the war he repeated Fly has attracted the attention of the American f'aarciers because of his singularly clear and enlightening ar. ticles on the financial staus of this country resulting from the world con flict.

 The things that arc happening in the American market at present are without parallel in the financial his tory of the world. The United States has become the creditor of all the great countries. This has occurred in French history, but only gradual ly, the transformation spreading oy- CT many years. It has happened with lightning Tapidity ia America.
 Before the war the American mar ket was greatly in Europe's debt; now it is much more the creditor, and for some time to come this state of things will become accen- tuated.
 It is the speed of this transrorma' ton of American market conditions whereby the country hes been great. y enriched, that has caused a kind of crisis. Up to now the United States has always needed European capital and there existed no spt of enabling 1t to adopt itself readily to complete changeI of role-from that of borrower to lender.
 The financial habits of the coun- try have not been able to change as rapidly as the situation has changed, nor have they become adapted to new conditions. Hence prevails evils.
 But by the very nature of things America will adapt itself to these conditions 2s most other countries nave done in their time
 Americans don't see very clearly ust what this adaptation to the posi- ion of leader consists of, and that's what worries then. They imagine hat their country iy different from he big countries of Europe. But his difference arises solely from the

OBJECT LESSON FOR A PENSION FUND
Uife)

(Life).
 Mrs Mary A. Sanford fortynine years old, sent to the pcnitentiary late in November for larceny in New York is the widow of a Congregational clergyman, who died of tuberculosis in 191O nine months after she married him. She said in letter to the court that her husband nothing but debts and she com pained that the members and clergy of the COngrega- tional Church made no effort to help her.
 It would be rash to blame members of ministers of the Congregational Church her testimony, but her case emphasizes the value of the Episcopal effort headed by Bishop Lawrence of Massachusetts, to pro vide a fiyemillondaar pension fund for the Episcopal clergy. The plan for that fund provides for minimum annuity of six hundred dollars for cler- gymen on retirement at SiXty-eght and for minimum three hundred dollars for their widows provided the marriage antedates retirement.
 If there are be minister's and they arc to divert their energies from mOneymaking to the improvement ot mankind provision for their old age is to be com mended to all churches. It doesn't look we'll even to have old ministers sell leadpencs the street. much less to leave their reics obliged to apologize to courts for larceDies.
