NIGHT LETTER SERVICE IS TO
 BE RESTORED
Delegate SuIzer is Told That Service Will Be Restored Probably
 By August 10th

WASHINGTON, July 27 The War Department assured Delegate Charles A. Sulzer from Alaska, this morning that the night-letter ser vice over the United States Alaska cable and telegraph lines will be restored, probably by August 10. Delegate Sulzer had received strong protests from the people of Alaska against the suspension of this ser vice. He presented them to the De- partment and urged the restora- ton.
The Alaska daily empire., 1917-07-27

The suspension of the night let ter service over the government cable and telegraph lines was a war measure due to the need of taking the men employed in the ca ble and telegraph service in Alaska to other sections. The action of the government in suspending the night letter service was quickly followed by like suspension of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company. An chorage was the first town to take up the matter of having the night letter service restored. Yesterday the Juneau Merchants Protective Association voted in favor of it.

STRENGTHENING LINES

A YEAR OF DEPRIVATION.

What will the harvest be? That is the most
important question which confronts the peo-
pies of the earth today. Shall we have good
crop year7 VIII mankind raise enough food
for its needs? That question has never been
asked before Local shortages have often oc-
Cured. In Egypt, Syria, China, India, Ireland
famines have been recorded, but never before
did well-informed people wonder if the prod
ncts of the earth in year begun would suffice
to keep its people alive
. 1t has not seemed, and does not now, as
though we of America should lack for food; but
how much shall we have for other peoples in
urgent need? According to our department Of
agriculture the indications are that, compared
with the 1915 crop, our wheat shortage this
year will be "a per cent, corn 81, barley %:
while our potato shortage, as against the aver
age supply on hand for the last five years on
January one is "a per cent IF this is the
worst OF 1T, as we may hope, it means high
prices here, but actual deprivation Yet if
Is manifest that we must raise all the vege-
tables we can and waste nothing in order to
have much to send to our allies The present
prospect is that they will need all that we can
spare and be distressfuly short rationed then.
Food was the chief concern of primitive man,
He was never sure Of having enough on the
morrow and therefore gorged himself to renle
ton whenever he could. 1t was safer to eat his
surplus than to keep it over and run the risk If
having it stolen; so he lived from hand 70
mouth, feasting when he could and fasting when
he must Our race has now become wiser and
keeps few months stock ahead Rut the
world has never been so provident that il cnuld
survive total failure of all its grain crops for
year. Europe probably has thirty million

SEEING is BELIEVING.

II is no longer a secret II official circles al
Washington that the long delay in completing
arrangements for the departure of Count Adam
Tarnowsk-i and the other diplomatic agents OF
Austria Hungary in this country was largely
due to the wish of this government that the rep
resentatives of the Vienna government might
carry back with them full knowledge OF the
tremendous preparations this country is max
ing. both on It's own behalf and on that Of the
entente allies.
The fact that the United States is no longer
neutral rs between GerTnany's allies and the
entente, but, on the contrary, is preparing ac-
lively to assist the latter, is expected to i'm
press Austria Hungary, and, as secret negotia-
tons are already going on in Switzerland be-
tween Vienna and London representatives hav
ing in view separate peace for Austria Hun
gary, the new policies Of America are calcu-
lated to assist those negotiations
