WOULD BUILD MANY ROADS.

When the United States built the
Panama Canal it was regarded as a
wonderful achievement.
Enough money and work is being
expended daily by this nation in this
country to build the Panama Canal in
two weeks time.
After the war ends, why would il
not be a good plan to act as though it
lasted two months longer and expend
all the work and gold that is now going
into the war toward building country
roads in the nation?
That would be constructive work
and it's effect on agriculture and coun
try life cannot be calculated.

ANCIENT PRUssIAN PREcEPTs.

There is no question but that much
of the mendacity and militancy evil
dienced by the kaiser and his war lords
is traceable directly to the teachings
of Frederick the Great. "Old Fritz"

ness of being king, and his chief
hobby seems to have been that of in
structing his nephew, Frederick Will
lam II, in the art of reigning The
present emperor learned his lessons
secondhand, but so thoroughly that
he seems to be the very personifica'
ton of the precepts laid down by his
famous ancestor. 1t is interesting to
note how closely the Prussia OF today
conforms to the ideai state cold Fritz
had in his minds eye. In the follow

WHAT GERMAN VICTORY WOULD
MEAN.

A German VictOry-or an incon
elusive peace-wOuld mean the uItim.
ate realization of the German idea that
Germany for the good of the world
must rule the world. This has been
taught in her universities as philoso-
ply and in her pulpits as religion
The German nation unquestionably
accepts it and intends to force the
rest of the world to accept it. This
they call "Kultur" which they claim
is "above morality, reason, and
science"
Kulture teaches that there is only
one sort of right-that of the stronger,
1t argues with specious profundity
that in the relations of nations with
one another there can be no such
thing as truth or honor Frederick
me Great taught that the Germans
must make it their STUDY to deceive
others in order to get the better of
Them." Frederick William ", seventy
years ago said that all written con-
situations were only scraps of paper"
and Bethmann-Hollweg in 1914 refer
red to The Hague Convention in the
same identical words. The "scrap of
paper" idea is an old one in German
diplomacy.
The Germans believe themselves to

Valor" and 1.-The Gospel of Hate"
Says one of their spokesman: Must
Kultur build it's cathedrals on hills
of cOrpses, seas of tears and the death
rattle of the vanquished? Yet, it must. a"
If Germany wins the war the United
States will either be paying tribute to
the kaiser or German soldiers will be
bayonetting American girls and wo-
men rather than take the trouble to
shoot them.
If Germany wins, all our ideals of
truth, justice and humanity-which we
call Christian-will be trodden down
into bloody mire under the iron heel
of the kaiser's armies, and the COM
5ng generation will be taught that
there is no God but the merciless God
of Battle who speaks through Ger
many's treacherous tongue and by her
brutal sword.
The Cordova daily times., 1918-02-13

the kaiser and his people are now
reaping the whirwind:
Religion is absolutely necessary to
state, Frederick the Great assured
his nephew. but it would not be very
wise in a king to have any religion
, himself" How about the kaiser's pro-
fessed partnership with God, and has
any one ever committed such profan-
fty against his Maker as the arch pre-
/ tender?
Should it be necessary to make a
treaty with other powers, If we Temem-
Der that we are Christians, we are
undone; all would be Christianity, and
/ their avowed determination to ride
roughshod over with us" This, of
course, accounts for the kaisers ut
| ter disregard for the sacred obliga-
: lions involved in international agree
ments, and the termining of treaties
as mere scraps of paper"
GAS to war, it is a trade in which
the least scruple would spoil every
thing" 1t is significant to note that
| Old Fritz defines war as a trade. This
/ prospect also, would seem 20 account
for the brutal attributes of the Prus-
SLAMS, their outrages against civiliza-
ton and all peoples that stand in their
way of world dominion.
Never be ashamed of making ALI
ances, and of being yourself the only
party that draws advantages from
them. Do not commit that stupid fault
of not abandoning them whenever it
is your interest to do So" No won
der the President refuses to consider
peace proposals so long as the disciple
of such a doctrine is to be a party 10
the negotiations.
Make boldly your approaches to
crimes" The kaiser evidently swal-
lowed this particular precept, hook,
line and sinker; and how Old Fritz
would applaud, if it were given to him
to see his work bear fruit, as the
Bloody Butcher of 1917 boldly ap-
proaches his countless crimes.
ut is good policy to be perfectly per-
suaded that we have a right to every
thing that suits US" That more ade-
quately expresses the basic policy of
the Prussian people today than all the
volumes that have been penned by the
Present day writer's. The kaiser and
his associates firmly believe that they |
have right to everything that suits !
them, and therein lies the chief cause |
of the awful conflict Nor will the war |
have served its purpose until this false |
belief IS bumped out of the heads of
this arrogant people.
Then Old Fritz goes on to tell his
favorite nephew that when Prussia
shall have made her fortune, it will
be time enough to give herself an air
of fidelity to engagements; an air
which, at the most, becomes none but
great states or little sovereigns." This
unusual prediction is now being real
lied in Prussia; fidelity to engage
nents has become an all-absorbing is
sue to the defendants of Frederick the
Great, but In an opposite manner to that
he anticipated. When one reflects
upon such precepts as these, it is not
in the least difficult to appreciate how
a people who have practiced them
should have become morally bankrupt

ALASKA TRADE
SHOWS BIC GAIN
FOR PAST YEAR

The grand total value of Alaska's
trade for the year 1917 reached the
sum of $141,125,462, as shown in the
annual report of the United States
+ Customs Service, treasury department
released for publication recently
Merchandise shipped from Alaska
shows gain of $21 100000 over the
previous year. The preface of the re-
port says:
The progress and development of
Alaska as indicated herein though
substantial is not as great as antic-
ipated at the beginning of the year.
i Under normal conditions, this report
/ has been considered a fair basis for
determining such results. The unusual
situation due to the world conflict,
| and more particularly since the ac-
tive entry of our country therein, has
so affected affairs generally as to un-
! balance production and commerce,
Separating the products OF the ter
ritory into two general classes, land
and sea, it will be noted that last
year the value of land products ex-
Geeded those of the sea by nearly
$13, 100000. while in the present year
the sea products were nearly $1,000
600 more than those Of the land. Alb
normally increased prices of copper
brought this about in the previous
years and the same cause applied to
fish products in the present year,
reversing the position of the classes.
Placer Retarded
The retarded exploitation of the ma.
tural resources, the depleted placer
deposits, and the large Withdrawals of
labor from our industries to more fu~
crative employment in the States, hayeI
been the means of decreasing theI
volume of production.
The price of merchandise shipped
to the territory has been greatly en-
HANGED compared with the volume. !
Thus the $21 900, 000 gain in commerce
value of this year over last has been /
due to price rather than volume"
Some Comparisons.
The value of imports for tfss year
reached 81, 43T 500, ass compared With
$35, 314,993 for the preceding year bel
ing $39,838,168 for merchandise from
the United States; $1,196,195 for mer-
chandise from foreign ports, and 81,
97,431 800 for gold and silver from
foreign ports.
The exports reached $96i699, 1862, as
with $84622,450 for 1876
divided as follows: Merchandise to the I
United States, $76,651, 1868; merchan-
disc and gold to foreign ports, $685.,
500; domestic gold and silver to the
United States, $14,939,44O; foreign
gold and silver to the United States
81 ,00S, 1854.

Railroad a Factor.
Again the report says:


"The value of shipments received
by the government railroad this year
is $2,797,819OO and it's outward mer-
chandise is 33004.00 Include these
items in the foregoing table and the
| total commerce will be $143,956,285.
lowing to the near conformity OF
the judicial with the geographical di-
visions of the territory and consider
ing that the former are more definitely
described and fixed in the public mind,
it has been deemed advisable to sub.
divide the shipments from the United
States accordingly. This has been done
in the tables for the present as well
as the previous years.
New features in the following ia
BILE are tonnage quantities of several
items (the pound units of anthony
copper, lead and tin indicate the meta
contents), dried and picked fish, can
ned herring and clans, shrimps, tur
nips and reindeer meat.
Important gains will be noted il
many products, largely due to condi
lions heretofore stated. Losses il
copper production were occasrone,
by labor troubles in the principal dis
4 tricts, and in gold by the greatly cur
j., tailed output due to insufficient labo
I and other causes. Returns of fur
from the Pribiloff Islands and ma
shipments of the same not having bee
received, account for the discrepanc
n of that item.
