THE Cordova Times is authority for the statement that Judge Wicker sham has instituted a contest for the delegateship in Washington. We be- lievc the Times source of information to be about as accurate as it's recent election dispatches, and is probably but father to the wish, as no other pa- per in the territory has received this information, and it is undoubtedly a wild rumor emanating from some ar dent supporter of the ex-Delegate.

VIRGIN ISLANDS, the new w, 7, Indian possessions which have jus
 passed into our hands from Denmark, cost of forty-eight tons of gold, or otherwise expressed, S25,000,OO0. From the standpoint of value they will prove a source of great expense to us, as they have never been self supporting. But the naval expert con- siders them a bargain because of their relation to the Panama canal. They cost eight times what Jefferson paid for the Louisiana territory and more than three times what Alaska cost us. Yet scarcely protest was heard against the deal. Besides it furnished lucrative positions for twenty-seven politicians, which is little less than a million dollar job for each one.

THAT RETREAT

Frank H. Simonds, tine military critic for the Review of Reviews, who has just returned from trip to Eu- rope, discusses the German retreat in the current issue of the Review. He says that he has no idea of the ultimate purpose of the German high command" but gives some very in teresting sidelights on the possibili- ties of the retirement.
 It is pointed out that the retreat might mean merely a straightening of the line behind the positions that had become hard to hold or danger ous. because of the allied attack; or it might mean a retirement to the sec ond system of defenses, and it might mean a general retirement from all French territory occupied by the Ger mans west of the Argonne or the Mouse, save a short frontier strip.
 This retirement reduces the Ger man front by 25 miles and requires 125,000 less troops to hold it, and will compel the Allies to do an inn mense amount of work of preparation and construction of roads, trenches and ra lways. The front is shortened to 80 miles, reducing the require ment in man-power by half a million and throws the Allies winter plans up in the air.
 Discussing the motive for the re- tiremenL MT. Simonds says:
 Ut is as we'll to reserve judgment on the extent of the German weakness revealed by the present retreat. It may be an absolute confession forced by lack of men. It may be an abso- lute confession forced by lack of men. It may be a relatively considerable admission of declining strength, linn ited to the recoil of the Laon Douai line But it may be merely decision to concentrate all resources on new attack either against the British at Npres or the French in Lorraine; il also may be a decision to go to the east and endeavor to put Russia out of the war by striking Russian armies by German agents in the and then by the revolu- tion provoked by their influence"
 The writer takes the view that the development on the west ern front today must necessarily be Lut the prelude to the greatest cam paign of the war.

CENSORSHIP.

Newspaper readers probably have noticed during the past week or two dispatches beginning with the word Undated" or in some instances with a blank immediately preceding the date of publication. The name of the city where the dispatch originated vas omitted and then followed the announcement of the arrival lin an American port" or "in British port" of an American or entente liner-Or perhaps the attack upon steamship by submarine was described.
 That, kind reader. is the result of q rule of censorship. The censorship has not been imposed by government tai order, but by the group of news papers subscribing to the Associat ed iress, at the suggestion of the au- thOrities at Washington.
 Does the American public or the American press object to censorship properly imposed? It does not. In fact, with the press, the movement is largely voluntary, notwithstanding that American newspapers are the most energetic and enjoy greater lib- critics of publication than those of any other nation. When tie foreign si;- nation became tense newspaper ; which desired not to publish anything that might be against the nation s best interests, requested the govern ment for suggestions as to what should be eliminated. An undated article is a reflection of this semi voluntary imposition of censorship.
 When the government decided to arm American ships the Secretary of the Navy asked that pitiless publicity be suppressed. Later the request was made that army movements also be kept secret. The propriety of these requests was obvious and the newspa- pers, some of which had made a spe- cial feature of the navy and army's doings promptly fell in line.
 As the war progresses the censor ship unquestionably will be made more severe than it is today. But it is certain that the press and the public understand the imperative necessity of withholding news information that may be of military value to the enc

Boards partner, Fred Fason, had
been married only five years, and as
they had lived out of town, Mary had
never visited them. They had now
been living in the city about six
weeks and Mary decided to call on
Mrs. Fason, partly for their better
acquaintance, but mostly to find out
what she could not from her own
husband.
The apartment was very attractive
and Mary noticed that all the fur
nishings were much better than hers
had ever been. Mrs. FasOn was fash
ionably dressed and a neat maid
opened the door. Mary was drawn
to the pretty little women, who was
about six years her junior. In few
weeks they were seeing each other
very often.
Mary shrank from anything like
criticism of her husband to an out
slider, but she felt if it had to come
to that it must, for she was deter
mined to know the true state Of the
finances. She began by asking Mrs.
Fason if she thought the business
was not doing well. The lady looked
at her in undisgUised establishment.

Poet and Blacksmith.

The professor came to be a neigh
Dor of the blacksmith in the year
1887. As he walked daily past the
smithy and the simple comfortable
home Of the blacksmith, he came to
watch and know the kindly man. It
was not long before they became good
friends. The blacksmith was proud
Of his home, and doubtless told the
professor how happy he was when, in
1925, he had made his first arrange
ments to buy it from q man named
Torrey Hancock. And perhaps some
times they talked about the wonderful
spring that was famous for its clear
and sparkling waters, for this was
right at hand. Below the spot where
the spring gushed forth, the women
Of the town still did their washing.
The name of the street where lived
the blacksmith and the professor is
the same today as in their time. IF
you visit the great city Of Cambridge,
you will easily find your way to Brat
tie street, and the homes of ''The VII.
lage Blacksmith" by name Dexter
Pratt, and Of the professor and poet,

Two Types Of Elephants.

There are two distinct types Of ele-
phants-the African and Indian. The
former have developed the largest ami.
mails and are quite different from the
Indian type, having only four visible
toes on the rear feet. as against five in
the Indian, the ears are very much
larger and the spinal ridge of the Afri-
can shows marked hump or rise, be-
ginning at the hips. whereas the In
dian elephants back slopes gently
downward from this point. The Afri-
can defies the fifrcest sun, while the
Indian lopes away from it to the heavi-
est. coolest shade.
The age of the elephants is widely
disputed. the best calculations of hunt
ers and scientists being admittedly
only little more than hazards.
Sir Samuel Baker. IN authority,
states the average life of an elephant
to be about $50 years. 1t is exactly
known that elephants have lived in
captivity for 100 years. Naturalists
believe. however. an elephants life in
the wild state to be twice as long, ac-
cording to a recently published book
called 1.-THE Elephant"

A Good Greed.

You can't make real success with.

You can't hold strong position
without strong opposition.
You can't seem right to any If you
don't seem wrong to many.
a useful life can't be entirely peace.
full and carefree.
Every earnest man in every genera.
ton has paid the price of individuality.
You can't dodge.
The greater you are, the greater the
penalty of your progress. The further
you go. the wider your range of con-
tact with which you must reckon, and
therefore. you multiply your battles
against misconceDtiOn and Islander and
envy and malice.
You can't avoid or evade your al.
lotted destiny-you can only hold down
your share of troubles by holding back.
In every sphere men gibe and sheer
even the peace of the ditch-digger is
threatened by the unemployed laborer
who covets his job.
So long as you aspire, others will
conspire-so long as you try others will
vie.
You'll have hostility to face in every
place and ut every pace.
Go straight ahead to your goal.
So long as your conscience isn't
ashamed to acknowledge you as a
friend. don't give a rap for your enc.
mics.
