GOOD NEW $, THIS.

The telegram received by the Fairbanks Commercial club from Delegate SuIzcr to the effect that the government will not suspend work oil the Alaska railroad, is the most cheerful bit oi information this camp has re ceiyed for some time
 Since the report was received few day> ago to thc effect that Secretary Lane had ad- yisel the curtailnent of work on account ol the increasing cost ot materials, spirit ol gloom has prevailed and even the most op- rimstic admitted that the future didn't look as rosy as it might Assurance that the work will be continued ill spite of the war relieves Us oi load oi anxiety and disap ointment
 To discontinue the work at this stage u the project would be disastrous, not only from a loss of the funds djsbursed here monthly for payroll and supplies, but because it would indefinitely delay the completion oI tue road which is to mean so much to Fair banks and Interior Alaska.
 And so, the news that the work is not to be suspended is received with great joy here and rightly so and everyone will now be able to lace the future with d more cheer IuI spirit

THE, BRIGHTER SIDE.

All things considered, we have reason to be very optimistic about the future. Just before the war; we had become ominousy lackadaiscal and easily susceptible to cant and political chicanery There was much grinhing inanity on the face of the man on the street. We were taken up with outer sembances indifferent to prophets with re medial measures, but with eager ears for the Bryans and I1obsons and David Starr Jor- dans.
 But since the dogs of war have seized Us where our clothes are slack, as 1t were how great has been the awakening! Our energies have been quickened as never before millions of men have been drafted for the war. most of them with enthusiasm; compara- lively few with murmur of dissent. Hun dreds of thousands of young men are now at military bases training for the trenches of Europe; billions of dollars have been poured into the treasury for war through the Liberty Loan; on top of this came the appeal for a hundred million dollars for the Red Cross, which was answered with millions to spare, and next month America will be asked to subscribe three billion dollars more in Lib erty bonds.
 And all the while, the government has

WAR PREPARATIONS.

I
 The statement that the cost of the war during the coming year will reach Sl2T35,- 8O7 GOO and that, including loans to our al lies, the total output will be approximately SIS, 5,0OOO0O,O00, is not discouraging, but should be encouraging to the American people.
 This huge appropriation is evidence that the American government realizes the size of the war task and is making preparations on an adequate scale to accomplish 1t at the earliest possible moment.
 The two things necessary to win the war, to hasten victory and thus reduce the cost of the war, are adequate and speedy preparations so that the full force of our strength may be felt on land and sea in the shortest possible length of time.
 It should be borne in mind that this country was wholly unprepared for war on q scale of modern war proportions. We had an excellent nucleus for strong navy, but to put 1t on a war footing we needed more ships, more men, more submarines, more de stroyers and equipment of all kinds.
 We had to get the men and train them, to make or buy guns and other munitions, to make or buy supplies while building and eQupp1n8 tra1nnS camps. We had to tram officers
 We were practically without aircraft and we had to begin to organize and equip this new and vital arm of the service. We had to build merchant ships on a vast scale to meet the menace of the submarine.
 America should rejoice that the govern ment has the wisdom, foresight and the en- ergy to prepare for prolonged warfare on a scale commensurate with the nature and de mands of this colossal war.
 The expenditure of S10,OOO,OOO,OOO in the first year may bring an end to the war within year. There is no assurance of this and we are not relying on it. We are preparing for longer warfare, but the in fluence of speedy and vast preparation is to hasten victorious conclusion. If we pre- pared to expend only one-half or any less sum. we might prolong the war for years.

TO DRAFT ALIENS.

Alien residents of the United States of military draft age will have to do "thcir bit ill the great war alongside ol the American who gives his services to his country. This was decided upon by congress yesterday iu passing a joint resolution to that effect.
 While they will be subject to the draft the same as citizens of allied nations, sub jccts of the central powers will be employed in non-miIitary pursuits, probably on govern ment Works such as reclamation projects and other such undertakings.
 The law Is right and proper. It would be unjust to require the young American to go to the front and to allow the citizen of an allied country to escape military duty and not be subject to call. They should not be allowed to enjoy the benefits that will be theirs when the battle for democracy is won, without doing their bit in the mighty con lIict. This plan was probably contemplated when aliens as well as citizens were required to register for the selective draft.
 The success or failure of conscription depends upon the extent to which there is a lack of favoritism shown, and the decision 10 draft aliens as well as citizens of this country will tend to strengthen this law.

 She came up north to write about this Arctic life, but I've no doubt before this writ CT girl departs, she'll break bunch of Fair banks hearts. Shes got one victim here, 1 guess, for since he met her Stanley Hess has hummed a sentimental tune and raves of roses, brides and June.
 And when you meet her you'll agree that she is young and fair to see and wait and see if this aint true; you'll feel yourself aslpping, too, and may you will also sing a song of loves young dream, by Jing. You'd best beware, at any rate, or else you'll meet with Stanley's fate.
 This writer girl is sure all right; she made a stirring speech last night before the Civic club, and say, you really ought to hear her play the latest hits, and she can sng-this girl can do most everything.
 And now 1 guess I'd better quit, per haps this will not make a hit with her and she may swing on me, for she's athletic, don you see!

safety First Devices Fail

BUTTE, Mont. Sept THE safety
first devices installed in the mines in
this district are farce and the
shafts are now unsafe for the miners
that TO-DAY is the. charge of the
striking miners in their official publi-
cation, the Strike Bulletin.
THE miners appreciate any move
that is made that would have a ten
dency to make working conditions
safer for them. but the record of the
company can only show that greater
loss of life has resulted since some of
their silly safctv rules have been es-
tablished." the Bulletin declares.
ANY miner will tell YOU how the
foreman and shift bosses exert them
selves TO have places fixed up only
when the safety-first man is going to
visit the mine OF which they have
charge"
Today's issue of the Rulletin ex-
presses renewed confidence of
strikers victory.
The mining companies claim that
everything possible has been done to
safeguard the lives of the miners.
