UNTIL VICTORY WON

The world today should have no doubt as to Americas position i'll the war and as to her determination to see 1t through Presl- dent Wilson made these clear yesterday ill his address, in iaCt 50 clear that 1t should silence all Would-be peacemakers at this time.
 As head OI the American nation, and with the weight given him by the tacit ac- acknowledgement o1 his bein spokesman for the alIies the President sets the end of the war as that time when the people ot Germany can come to the peace table represented by a government in which the world has COnfi- dence, or until Germany has been decisively beaten.
 When this has been accomplished, the war will be over, but not sooner. Il it takes one year or tcn America is i'll it to stay and to WIN. The address of the President is one which not only strengthens AmeriCas deter minaton but will carry fresh courage to the people of all the entente nations. It contains a message of cheer to the stricken French, the hard pressed Italians and the other na tions as well, for it carries the assurance that America will not stop until their wrongs are set to right and the cause ot them removed forever from power.
 The reparaton which must be made by Germany De1OTe peace IS ODtdlndDIe IS also mentioned. The first step is for her to make good all the destruction which has been wrought by her present rulers. It is signili- cant that these rulers are not expected to make the reparation but Germany apart from them. They will have no hand i'll peace. And Germany must withdraw from all invaded territory. Not an inch of ground which she has won by force of arms will she be al lowed to keep. Her dream of Alittcl Europe is crushed. She cannot be allowed to retain d position through military alliances or con- quest from which she would be able again to overturn the peace of the world.
 It is plainly not the aim of America to annihllate the German nation, but to crush completely the Prussan autocratlc system. It would be well for all the world Germany in cluded, if the German people could realize this But this is probably too much to hope for The discipline of the PruSslan system has been driven too deep into their very lives to admit its influence being thrown off voluntarily, which makes 1t all the more nee essary for 1t to be removed from outside sources.

A GREAT TASK

In classifying the 9,OOO,OOO or more men who are already registered tor military ser wee III the Unlled otateS, the government Is IaCng one ot the greatest tasks o1 It's kluu ever undertaken, and Its accompHshment ls made to insure the complete protection O1 all IorInS OI American aCtlVltleS.
 When the orlglnaI dra1t machinery was set Ill mouon there was all urgent need 1oI, and, as stated III the President $ tOreWOrQ lU the new regulations, the SWl1tneSS Wllu WulCu une machinery Tor Its execution nau lU De as oeInDled, however, lett room tor auJuSuneAl and improvement.
 Inc orlgmal registration requirements sought only 10 determine a man fitness 1Ol mnlary serVlce, taking into consideration no account Ot hls value to the nation Ill CIVIL lie. 1t IS unquesuonably this slmphtled form winch enabled the country to select and moD- IlZe the 1lrst contingent ot the national army With so great expedition and accuracy.
 Mlth tnls first contingent practically complete, and III tralnlng tor the most part, there IS now tune tor adjusting the draft maCnlnery to lit the requirements Ot the Coun- tryS best interests The time has come, says the President, tor a more perfect or ganlzauon ot our man power. The seleCtlve prlnclple must be carried to its logical con cluslon."
 Under the new rules MT. Wilson declares it is the governments intention to-
 make complete inventory of the qualifications of all reglstrants in order to determine, as to each man not already select ed tor duty with the colors, the place in the military, industrial, or agricultural ranks ot the nation in which his experience and train ing can best be made to serve the common good.
 In order to do this, the examining boards are to make an inquiry concerning each lndl- vidual in this 9OOO,OOO and gather exact and definite information regarding his industrial training as we'll as his physical qualifications With this information at hand 1t can easily be determined what men are more valuable tor service at home than in the trenches ot Euro pean warfare It will enable each eligible tc be placed where he will fit best into the plans for the nations defense.
 In the opinion of the President, this huge task can be completed within two months. It can be done in this time only, says the Presl- dent, if the work incidental thereto is regard ed as a national war undertaking of great sig nihcance He therefore asks that everyone render all possible aid.
 In requesting the services of doctors and lawyers, the President states: T urge men of the legal profession to offer themselves as associate members of the legal advisory boards to be provided in each community fo the purpose of advising registrants ot thell rights and obligation and of assisting then in the preparation of their answers to the questions which all men subject to the draft

Dec 6-Mr Dennis Coyle and Miss Adriana Lutro. among the most prominent of the young pco- pie of Ruby, were united in the holy bonds of matrimony in the parlors of the Presbyterian church here last night.

They, with others, were started south in charge of sergeant and a party of guards but a few hours after they arrived at Fort Liscum.

PROVIDING FOR ALASKA

Notwithstanding the enormous demands made upon the government by the war, 1t is not III danger Ot forgetting what IS due Al aSka nor ot neglectlng to provide for 1t even i'll these abnormal times. The disposition o1 the government to keep Alaskan enterprises moving is shown i'll the budget turned in by Secretary AlcAdoo for the next fiscal year
 Not only are funds to be provided for the construction of the government railroad into Fairbanks, but the usual appropriations are not being overlooked. Every section ot the territory is sure to receive some benefit from the budget
 Naturally the one item of greatest i'm pOrtanCe to us in this section IS the two bll- lion and more dollars which are to be asked for with which to build the railroad from Fairbanks to Nenana This should allay any fears which the tlmorous may have enter talned regarding the construction of a real railroad into this town There has never been any inclination on our part to ques- ton this, but we realize that such fears have been expressed.
 In normal times there would have never been any doubt about the continuance of ap- preparations until the completion ot the road Started under Democratic administration and With the entire support and approval ot the head ot the party, 1t would, of course, have been matter ot necessity tor the com pletlOn Ot the road i'll order to prove the wis dom and adVlsablllty of the move But when the government was forced into a war en- tailing the expenditure of unprecedented amounts, one might have been pardoned for being anxious regarding future appropria- tlons of sufficient size to permit new con- structlon work to be accomplished.
 The desire Ot the administration to ren- der Alaska all reasonable assistance, of course, figures to certain extent in the inclusion of Alaskan affairs in the annual budget, but the railroad commission, Thos Riggs, IT,, in charge of the work on this end of the gov ernment road has undoubtedly had more to do with the slze of the appropriations se cured than any other one man, and to him should be given the lions share of the credit. Commissioner Riggs has made great record tor himself and proven to be true friend ot the Interior of Alaska in this work
 While the appropriations are not yet through congress, and probably will not be for some time, there is not much uneasiness that they will not be by the time the money can be made available next year. Congress will probably not make any fight upon requi- the appropriation might not be cassed as war appropriation, but in reality it is and will be of much benefit not only to this i'm mediate district but to the entire nation.

What they getting was illustrated by the remark
of young man who recently attended military school,
He said that had done him world of good in training
