We pupils of the High School
and grades enjoyed a very plea
SAINT vacation of four days dur
ing the teachers institute. We
enjoyed our holiday very much,
but whether the teachers did or
not, we do not know.
Slow. but Sure" " is the Fresh.
man motto, and they have at
last become organized. They
have some very worthy students
as their leaders, among whom
are Yeteve Wakefield, president;
Darwin Case, vice president;
Maud Williams, secretary and
treasurer. The Seniors wish the
"Freshies" a most successful
year, and desire that they learn
with ease the "A B C's" of
High School spirit. Miss Henline
has been chosen by "Freshies"
as their patroness.
The Sophomores, with Miss
Turney as advisor, are also or
ganized. Miss Mona Smith is
president; Lillian Graham, vice
president; Edgar Scarlett, treas,

SOPHS CLAIM BEST
STRING FOR GAME.
ON C. j. GRIDIRON

Believing that the strength Of an
army lies in the power OF fits reserves,
the class OF 1920. known as the Sophs,
at Georgetown University is today
claiming a victory over the Fresh
men. or 1921 boys, on the Hilltop.
The annual football game will be
fought out on the Hilltop tomorrow
afternoon.
"Just wait until tomorrow and see"
say the Sophomores. I'VE will have
eleven men on the field and nineteen
substitutes. which is a greater num-
ber than the freshmen can muster.
We will probably need our substi-
tutes, and so will the Freshmen need
their substitutes, and as we have
more substitutes we will win"
Nothing is clearer than a win for
the Freshmen" say the 1921 rockies.
we will eat the Sophomores' blood
raw, despite the number of substi-
tues. They will need them when we
start after them"
For reasons best known the Of
ficials selected for the annual clash
have been kept secret. The official
lineup for the game Is announced by
the rivals as follows:

American genius has been concen- rated on the problem of counteract'
 ing the menace of the German sub marine and encouraging reports are received from Washington as to the progress of experiments already made ny the navy department. The head of the naval consulting board is so thor oughly convinced that it is possible to dispose of the, menace that he has forwarded a plan Jo Washington, which he believes solves the problem.
 That is good neWs-almOst too good to be true: but not beyond the realm of possibility. Naturally, the authorities have not revealed the de- tails of the scheme except to say that electricity plays prominent part in

WHAT OF RUSSIA?

Reports from Petrograd during the suring. After an interval of absolute quiet situation has developed fraught with far-reaching possibili- ties. Fortunately, the breaking point has not been reached. and there are indications that the present provsion- al government will retain control of the situation, but the allies view the prospect with some anxiety.
 There is no question of the attitude of the provisional government itself. It is unalterably opposed to separ ate peace It realizes fully that Russia must keep it's engagements and fight for victory in order that democracy and free institutions may survive. In fact. it is not at all improbable that Germany. after making separate peace. would either restore the Rom- anoffs or set up dynasty under Ger man domination, and this danger is fully realized by the far-seeing men ;n control of the government.
 The powder magazine is in the sol . [aers' barracks. The pro-German pro- oaganda for separate peace, coupled with the activities of the extreme sO- cialists and anarchists. appear to have gained considerable momentum. and the average soldier and work se. o,,f fails to comprehend the dangers of his new liberties, involved in permit ting Russia to pass under the virtual hegemony of the HohenZollerns. He is fed on the beauties of peace in con- trast with the terrible business of var, and the serious feature of the situation is that he may take things into his own hands.
 The temporary government has eX- ercised wonderful tact in dealing with the situation and may yet gain con trol and make Russia into real fighting machine: but the process nec- essarily will be slow, so long as lhere is an internal quarrel. whether t is over the foreign or the domestic policy. Russia cannot be an effective factor in cooperating with the en- tente allies who are now slowly ham nering their way through the west trn front.
 The eyes of the world today are n Russia. If Germany can succeed n negotiating separate peace the outlook for the United States as well in no sense pleasant. While the pos sibility is there we must consider the possibility of being ultimately forced 70 fight Germany alone.

ARE UNDER
 EYE OF T.. S. MARSHAL

On his arrival from Valdez this ment in winch he said that the activ- ty of wholesalers in Juneau and San Francisco in shipping liquor into dry territory in this divison was being closely watched by |. s. Marshal Brenneman. there being no intention on the part of the court to allow ef- forts to enforce the law to be set at naught.
 II noticed the local comment that We were being made catspaw for the wholesalers by issuing strict rules to prevent retailers in this district from shipping to dry territory" said the judge, ''and desire to assure all that this will not be the case.
 '' It is too bad that some of the dealers in this division, have miscon- strued the meaning of the words "clean up" in connection with their being given until January 1 to clean up their stock before prohibition be- comes effective. There seems to be 2 feeling that it is chance to make "clean up in cash and retire rich. Some of the dealers have simply gone mad over the idea of getting all they can while the opportunity is open. The people of this district do not want this and have made it so evident that I have issued orders restricting sales and hours of business.

the device and to hint that the plan involve a military offensive against the Kiel canal, the base of the Ger man fleet, as we'll as the complete bot ling up of the North Sea, just as the British have already sealed the En- glish channel to enemy submarines. Whether the government is prepar- ed to try out the scheme-which has been proved by tests to be practical has not been disclosed, but if its feasibility appeals to the high Amer!- can officials and the entente experts it unquestionably will be put into eff feet at the earliest practicable mo- ment. Apart from that phase of the problem it is certain that if there is any shortcut method of dealing with the submarine menace American in genuity can be relied upon to find it, for Americans are the most in ventive people the world has ever pro- duced. In fact. several prominent Brit ish leaders, recognizing this fact. have publicly expressed their confidence that American genius could be count ed on to meet the submarine menace.
 1t is announced that inventions have been offered to the government at the rate of thirty-five daily. Some of course are worthy of consideration. while others are not; but abundant proof exists that the inventive brains of America are concentrated in de- feating the undersea weapon which American genius produced.
 Although ours are not a warlike people and never have been larger number of inventions of war have been produced in America than in any other country The submarine is dis tictly American. The armored battle ship, with it's revolving turrets, was developed during the Civil War. The aeroplane was also born under the Stars and Stripes. Thousands of other inventions, which go to make an army or battle fleet more efficien,- such as the machine gun, the repeat ing rife, the disappearing gun-are American products. Because we are not a belligerent people. it has re- mained for other nations to outstrip us in the application of these wea pons, but they originated here and are monuments the world over to Yankee ingenuity.
 Under the circumstances it is req sonable to believe that Americans can find the answer to the submarine just as they contrived the enemy of the warship. The solution may not be so spectacular as fragmentary reports indicate. but we have no doubt that it will be effective.

 The opening baseball game of the season on the Valdez grounds yester- day afternoon went to Fort Liscum by a score of ? to 0. Up to the fifth inning the score was tied. neither side having scored, but in that inning an error permitted Liscum to score two runs. After this both sides tight ened up and neither side scored again.
 Despite the fact that lack of prac- tice and team work made the error column loom up somewhat larger than usual, the game was an inter- esting and exciting one. and demon strated that when the boys get in trim they will stand second to none in the amateur coast teams. Some ex- cellent mound work was done by the pitchers on both teams. and in the field the boys covered their positions in a very creditable manner.
