MAN SAYS ROAD
 NEEDED AT SKAGWAY

U. T. Boshart, mining man of Skagway, with mining interests in th POrcupine country and the inter for, is an interested Juneau visitor. ''More than anything else at this time, Skagway needs g wagon road to the interior," said MT, Boshart. An automobile road to the sum- nit of White Pass and 8 Canadian road connecting is with Lake Ben- nett would be of wonderful aid in the deYelopement of the country tri- butary O Skagway, and it would give us one of the finest scenic drives in the country" he continued.
 MT. Boshart says business is gord at Skagway, and the reopen ing of the Pueblo mine near White horse, he says, insures a continua- ton of prosperous conditions throughout the coming fall and next winter.-Juneau Dispatch.

Van is to- day famous for the cuneiform inscrip- tions, indelibly printed on rocks, by which forgotten Van dwellers at once preserved their historical records and provided against future paper fam ine."-LOndon Chronicle.

isarn History by Novaln.

In the Woman's Home Companion Anne Bryan Mccall says:
 "One of the pleasantest ways know of making varied travels into history Is by reading historical novels. l re- member that when l was twelve years old l read Harrison Ainsworth's Wind sor Castle and when l was fifteen l read SCott's Wentworth When was sixteen I read Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter was not thinking of history at all when l read them. I read them solely for the story. Yet from those three books l learned more of the times of Henry VIII. and Queen Eliz- abeth and of early American days, do believe. than in the many historical chapters covering those times that I have read since. Those books made these times live for me, and 1t was as though I myself were living in them"

PERSONAL OPINION
HugeF Feet of Arplanes Would Overwheln
 German Army
By Brisaiier General GEORGE O. SOUIER,
 Chief Signal Officer, U. s. A.

THE modern type of land war Is
 ] dependent upon two things
 above all othcrs-aviation and artillery. They are cooperative elements in a fighting army, and against an enemy a flying machine is a terror and a menace to big guns. That acroplancS are positive lv essential for directing artillery fire is an axiom among military men who have seen action in the sort of battles being fought on the west ern front. The maCnjfccntly ob- rious thing, then. Is TO KNOCK OUT GERMANN'S EYES BY \ THRUST THROUGH THE AIR.
 But my idea would he something vastly larger than a thrust. An inuudation of aeroplanes would better express the idea in its mag nitude. Sweep the Germans from the sky, blind the Prussjan cannons, and the time would be ripe to re- lease an enormous flock of flying fighters to raid and destroy mill tary camps, ammunition depots and military establishments of all kinds.

Washington, April 4.-The admins
tration plans to raise a land force Of
100000 men for the war against
Germany. The plans don't call for the
sending Of large force to Europe for
many months, however, in view of the
fact that at the present time the
country has less than 100000 trained
soldiers, and all Of these will be need
ed to instruct the new men, protect
the sea coast and defend the Panama
canal, the Hawaiian islands and the
Philippines.
The first step to be taken will be
the increase of the regular army from
10000 to 100000 men and the in
otease OF the National Guard from
10000 to $4,000 men, the complete
war strength OF the army and the
guard.
The administration hopes to obtain
the increases through the volunteer
system, but in the event there are not
sufficient volunteers, the President
may use the power given him in the
Hay defense act to draft persons from
IS to As into the service.
