ALASKA COAST UNDEFENDED

We Americans have 50 long en- icved Ueace that We find difficulty in accommodating ourselves to JbOu5h's of war. Because we have gone about our business for gen eratiOns in a country practically free from international entangle- weD-s and danger et attack Uy hos rile nations, We do net easily, now that war faces Us, relinQuish form lr habits and accept the new plane u' ''ying forced upon Us by the i'm minenCe of hOstiIities.
 This has been true of the coun- try generally and especially true in he middle west. The Atlantic and Pacific coasts first realized the danger to which they were exposed. HarbOGs here are now being pro- rected against attacks of submarines and ether hostile vessels. The in- land c1gutry is also finally prepar- jug. ....L
 But Alaska, with all j:s tremen- dous extent of coast Lne, is still uudefenJed. Distance from what would seem to be the probable points of attack if Germany should send ships against the United States lends to make Alaskans feel free run danger, but the menace ex- ists and should be guarded against.
 Thera is an awakening, however, ss shown by the formation of home guards al different points, but there should be 9 united effort to see that the government has steps taken without delay for defense of Alaskan waters.
 The New York World, which is generally conceded to speak most aurhOritatiyely about the aims of tue administration, discusses the danger to the Alaska coast in the following editorial:
 Since war has been declared and IT eparedness for military assaults on the territory of the United T ates proper is engaging SO much attention it may not De improper to call attention 70 the modest needs e Alaska and the fact that the ports of this territory are with out defense of any kind. A hostile cruiser could land marines without opposition at any town on Alaska coast and burn it and destroy a commerce between Alaska and the states exceeding $11O,OO0,OOO in 1916 end which promises to exceed that figure each year for an in- definite time to come.
 Alaskan ports, almost without exception, could be made impreg- nable .' a minimum cost as military and naval expenditures run ordinari ly. This is especially true of Seward and Anchorage, the two wat CT terminals Of the governments system of railroads.

YOUNG SANDSTONE
MAN WEDS

The friends of Perry Dean
we've somewhat surprised to read
in the Sunday papers that he had
been married the evening before
to Miss Blanche Oswald at the
brides home in Minneapolis. The
wedding had a military aspect as
Mr.. Dean and Rev. Fess linden,
who performed the ceremony,
both wore their military uni
forms and the rooms were de-
corated with flags and the ma
tlonal colors. S. Dean, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. S. Dean and Mr.. and Mrs.
S. A. Colliver from here were in
attendance.
The bride is a talented and po-
pular young lady of Minneapolis
and was a graduate with the
groom from the State Universe
ty last year. Mr.. Dean has made
his home here for several years
and for the past year has been
manager of athletics at the State
University. Perry has already
shown that he can make his mark
in the world and at present is a
member of the officers reserve
camp at Fort Smelling.
The newlyweds have the best
wishes of their many friends.
They autoed here Sunday and
spent the first of the week at

BATTLESHIP GEMS

Firing a big gun on one of our
battleships is a costly proposition
says an exchange. A fourteen
inch she'll weighs 1,400 pounds,
and costs S700.
A twelve inch shell, already
considered one of our smaller
shots, costs $500. Fourteen inch
guns throw projectiles fourteen
to sixteen miles. They will pierce
an eleven inch Krupp steel plate
at seven miles. Twelve inch
guns will shoot just as far, but
will pierce the eleven inch plate,
only at five miles. When big
guns are fired, every man on the
battleship has to stuff his ears
with cotton and touch the deck
with his toes and finger tips,
keeping his mouth open. This
is to prevent broken bones and
lost teeth.
