that town on Cook Inlet. Suppose a

Anchorage was the only seat? Who

NOW is a good time to sort over
the political timber and pick good
men and true for the coming election.
Men should be sent to the senate and
legislature who are familiar with coll
ditions in the territory and who do
not subordinate all legislation to that

of industries that are languishing for
want of legislative recognition. par
ticularly those pertaining to the
manufacture of wood pulp and ma
terfals.for canning fish. Tin could he
shipped in in sheets and made up in
to cans here thru the winter giving
employment to a large number of
girls and boys. The legislature should
make some provision for exempting
new industries from taxation for GER
tain periods during their probation.
A bonus could be allowed upon wood
pulp, and industry encouraged in a
number of ways. Too often man is
sent to the legislature. who has no bus
mess ability whatever and who re-
ceives his honors for being a good
fellow" During the constructive per-
iod the territory needs the best brains

THE United States is the richest

the Los Angeles Times. Our wealth is
$2,2S0 per capita; that of Great Brit
ain $1.7S0: that of France $1,S35;
that Of Germany $1,180; and that Of
Russia $3.50. Our annual income is
1866 per capita; that Of Great Britain
1851; that Of France $3.50; that of
Germany $155. and that of Russia
$36. In Indebtedness per capita our
financial load is the smallest of any
nation. Great Britain owes $463 per
capita; France $377; Germany. 1856,
and Russia. $S4. while our indebted
ness on June 20, 1917, was but $40
per capita. The liberty bonds issued

HERE is a statement from Ger

American soldiers: There they stood
before us, those young men from the
land of liberty. They were sturdy and
sportsmanlike in build. Good natured
smiles radiated from their blue eyes
and they were quite surprised that
we did not propose to shoot them"
The Germans do not underestimate

selves with the belief that he will not
be able to get to the front in sufficient
numbers to be decisive factor in

NAPOLEON AND THE PRESENT
WAR

Writing in the New York Tribune,
Frank H. SimOnds, the military crit
&c, says the secret of Germany's sue
cesses during the past three years and
the failure of the allies to win a de-
cisive victory, is due to Germany's ad-
herence to the NapoleOnic doctrine Of
warfare and the entente's disregard
ing of that master strategist's policy.
Here is Napoleon's formula, express
ed in letter to Robespierre in 1894:
1.-The management of war is exact
ly like the siege Of a fortress. You
must concentrate your power on a
single point. Once a breach is made
the equilibrium is destroyed, resis-
lance becomes fruitless and the place
is captured. Attacks should never be
scattered, but concentrated. You must
divide in order to find food and unite
for fighting. Unity Of command Is es-
sential to success. Time is every
thing"
The German high command, which
has been studying its war game" or
"kriegsspiel." for years. has taken a
leaf from Napoleon's book and has
modelled its warfare on his demon
strated principles.
Mr.. Simonds points out that Napol-
con. through all the period Of his
great wars, fought coalitions and al
liances and won because the opposi-
ton was divided. Similarity, the Ger.
man staff. whether the German army
has been operating alone or with Aus
TRANS, Turks or Bulgaxians. has been
master. The result, says Mr.. Simonds.
has been in the case Of Germany. az
in the case of Napoleon that the
whole striking forces have been con-
centrated on a single point. some
times with fatal consequences to the
enemy, never without carrying imn1e-
date and deadly peril. not alone to
the armies, but the whole existence OF
a hostile nation"
In going back to the beginning OF
this war, he points out that Germany
struck at France with all its forces

egg availed, Germany laced out al
Russia, Serbia, France again at Yer

a period that is going to show us all the more the necessity of the auto mobile, not IS some people would put if, for pleasure use, but for actual utility. Ii is safe to say that not 10 per cent of all automobiles in use can be considered as purely pleasure cars, the other 30 being passenger cars and used for real purpose.
 The conditions are going to teach Us all not how to do without as much as how to stop waste. Tn the fast age in which we have been living, waste has not been considered a factor, but in the recent gasoline propa paganda it was definitely shown that the elimination of waste in the use of gasoline would supply the government with all it's re- quirements. We are going to find the same thing is true in operation of our business, whether it is a manufac- turer a dealer, or an individual. We are not going to stop going on. but are going to find methods and ways and means for the elimination of the waste which does not bring any return but is only an expense.
 Industries must go on and Organiza- tions in all towns and hamlets in our country must continue to exist for the further development, and if this though is constantly borne in mind there is no doubt that ways and means will be found by every live citizen who is in business to continue to do busi- ness.
 I've may not make quite as much money as we have in the past. We may have to give willingly. not only to our government, but to the many causes, but our business foundation will be kept intact, because this great, big ship must continue to sail on an even keel if we are going to keep the United States in the place she deserves.
 There is no chance of any one say ing that American industries the American dealers and the American people will not sacrifice for their gov ernment and while the government will require some sacrifice, they realize the necessity of having something to sacri- flee '"

WI[[YS- OVERLAND
 TAX|CAB PROVING
 POPULAR PRODUCT

Although it has been but compara lively short time since Willys- Overland,
 Inc, of Toledo. began concentrating
 some of the efforts of the great insti-
 tuition toward building Willys-K Knight
 taXicabs, on a rather extensive scale,
 this vehicle already ranks among the
 leaders in the livery and rental line
 of motor cars.
 Practically instantaneous recognition
 of the merits of the product were
 achieved in New York City and Chi
 cago-the two great metropolitan cen
 ters that to a large degree set the pace
 in the adoption of improved types of
 transportation vehicles. Other cities
 have followed suit as fast as the fac
 tory could keep up with the orders, without endangering it's passenger car and commercial vehicle output.
 The quickly achieved popularity of
 the Willys- Knight taXicab is accredited
 to the Knight motor and to the refine
 ments and improvements in it's body construction. The Knight motor
 speaks for itself From the stand point of the taXicab owner, it's over wearing advantages and operating economy are facts that cannot be dis puted. In densely crowded traffic. with service compulsory under all climatic conditions and over all kinds | of streets and roads, the taXicab motor
 must be subjected to the most cruel
 sort of tests. In competitive tests of this description, the Knight type of mo- l tor has not been surpassed. Its quiet running features also give it an added attraction from the viewpoint of the | taXicab passengers.
 In body construction, the Willys- | Knight taXicab marks a new era in | livery vehicles, as the company de- scribes it.
 With abundant room for five passen- | gers-three on the rear seat and two I on the folding auxiliary seats, there is , no such thing as scarcity of leg room | The softly upholstered auxiliary seats are attached to the partition between 1 the front seat and the rear compart- ment by means of sliding bars and | channels The construction is of the | flush type and there are no uneven | lines when the seats are not in use.

SNOW BOTHERS TRAFFIC

As result of the recent heavy snow fall throughout the north, the Good year Tire and Rubber company, Akron, Ohio. found the highways between the factory and the balloon field, about ten miles distant, impossible for mo- tor transportation. The wheels were removed from the regular busses, and replaced with Hanged steel wheels. Permission was obtained from the A. C. & Y. and Wheeling and Lake Erie railroads, to run the busses over their lines. which lead to the field, and in this manner transportation was main tained during the period that the high ways were blocked.

MAXWELL TRUCK SUPERIOR OVER
 HORSE VEHICLES

Fitted against the team and wagon of Nelson-Baker company, wholesale druggists, a Maxwell one-ton truck covered itself with glory as it vividly demonstrated the superiority of the motor over the old fashioned horse drawn vehicle in hauling merchandise over Detroit streets.
 The comparative test was made Tues day, December 11th, when the streets were slippery with 8 hard packed snow covering and zero weather conditions prevailing.
 The actual demonstration began when the wagon team and truck started together from the office of the Nelson Baker company at 8: 40 a. m. The ve hicles were to cart boxes of glass bot ties from freight car spotted in the yards to the warehouse of the com pany. The distance from warehouse to freight car was 1.4 miles for the round trip.
 The boxes weighed 100 pounds each.
 On the first load the Maxwell car ried 30 boxes, or one and one half tons. A 25 minute delay was occaSioned for the truck at the loading dock. Not withstanding the loss of time the truck was loaded and back at the office dock at 9:25 o'clock The wagon arrived with 55 boxes at 10:30, but the truck in the meantime had delivered another load of 40 boxes-two tons.
 Two more truck loads of two tons each had been deposited at the office docks by 11:45 a. m. The wagon com pleted its second load, 56 boxes by noon The truck had carted 150 boxes and the wagon III boxes during the morning.
 | 1. laN truck undertook to deliver assorted merchandise to the crosstown freight depots This trip by the wagon teams consumes the entire afternoon.
 The. truck backed into the office dock at one o'clock for it's load, one and ne-half tons. The truck ran to the Wabash freight depot where part of the load was deposited and then con tinued to the Detroit, Toledo and Iron ton depot and delivered the last of the load. Returning the truck went to the freight car, picked up two-ton load and had it on the office loading dock in one hour and 35 minutes.
 Two more round trips to the freight car were made by the truck-each trip being a two ton load, before stopping for the day. During the afternoon the truck had hauled 121 boxes and made the run to the crosstown depots. The wagon in the same tiHe had sue ceeded in making two trips to the ! freight car and hauled 110 boxes. The truck and team both quit at 3:30 p. m.
 While the wagon hauled 221 boxes l from the car to the office docks in 40 minutes the truck carted 271 boxes besides the ton and one-half hauled to the crosstewn freight depots.

WEIGHT AND PREssuRF

We hear great deal of discussion on the subject of weight as related to tire pressure. Every car owner knows it is bad for the tires to force them to carry more weight than they were in- tended to bear Unfortunately it is not always possible to avoid overlooking the car, nor can the driver be expected to weigh each passenger and then pump up his castings to meet the de- mand about to be made on them When 1t becomes necessary to carry extra weight, let the car he driven slowly, with all due care to avoid unusual bumps and temporary overload will probably result in no damage to the tires.
