Especial to the Prospector)
 JUNEAU, Alaska, Feb. 28.-Indi- cations point to an attempt of Gov ernor J. F. A. Strong, Senator O. P. Hubbard and Frank A. Aldrich to control the newly organized Alaska Labor Union for political purposes The indications are also that the com bination will openly support James Wickersham against the present democratic incumbent, Chas. A. Sul- ger, and make the eight-hour day the campaign war cry. Matters recent ly brought to light here indicate that the union forces have gotten beyond the control of this ambitious trio, and it's members are liable to bar profes- sional politicians for pelf altogether.

INDUSTRIAL SLACKERS

"I never saw so many men. with both hands in their pockets during working hours as I saw in the San Francisco shipyards," says writer in the current number of the Sunset Magazine. In relation to the organiz- ed effort of the government to secure a shipbuilders' reserve, this situation is somewhat anomalous. Yet it is we'll known that the attitude of con- siderable percentage of the men in war industries is nothing less than scandalous if not actually disloyal.
 The rate of ship construction dur ing 1917 int he United States and Great Britain was only about 33 per cent of the rate of destruction. And at time when the need of tonnage presents to the allies their gravest est problem. Early last year the Brit ish premier foresaw the danger of calling upon America repeatedly for ships, more ships and yet more ships.'
 The appeal has come across the wat CTS with such urgency that no intel ligent American can fail to realize

New Type of "vampire."

Arrest at the instance of an army officer of a young woman who had committed bigamy in order to secure the allowance granted to soldiers de pendents gives color to the warning issued against this new type of "vam- pire," notes the Omaha Bee. Young soldiers are picked out by these wom- en and deliberately led into marriage, the one purpose being to secure money from the government. The game is not a new one, nor does 1t exhibit much modification in It's details. It is reported from some of the Southern army camps that as many as three and four soldiers have been welded to the same woman. The young men who are away from home for the first time, wearing their country's uniform, should be warned that marriage is not merely an enlistment for the war. and therefore to be approached very seri- ously. Romance is part of soldiers life, but it may have consequences that will embarrass him in after years. The "vampire" Is one of his chiefest dangers, and one against whom it Is difficult to guard.

GERMANS LACK THINKING MEN
Despite Advanced Age of Many Prus- sian Warriors They Have Little
 Comprehension of Situation.

Germany in making a call for men up to forty-seven years of age has ta- ken advantage of two more years above the conscription maximum of forty-five. Most individuals when they approach the f1ftieth year have about concluded their fighting days through Inability to keep down their girth measure. But certain conditions in Germany, over which that country has had little control, have served. no, doubt. to keep the human form within military bounds. Americans who go to France, therefore, are likely to have to fight babes in arms and old gentle men if the age limits are stretched further under Prussian regulations, ob- serves the Detroit Free Press.
 Perhaps, after all, this cOnscripting of men above forty-five will produce some effect in the ranks that may be useful toward letting light into dark places. The army knows little of what Is going on in the world. If half of the seasoned soldiers really believe that London is in ruins and the German fleet is in control of the sea, they may learn something to their advantage by consulting few of the old stagers who are compelled at this late date to join the colOrs. Men born in 1870 ought to be more difficult to deceive, and few of such scattered through the army may serve to enlighten the fighting multitude as to the error of their be- lief. It is presuming much to expect results from this source. but If a man above forty-five is good for anything as trench fighter, he ought to be good at shooting off his mouth. And, after all, what Germany lacks most is more men who will talk and think.

that the whole issue of the war de- bends in a great measure upon the output of our shipyards. In spite of the unprecedented demand at home today England is supplying vessels with which to transport American troops to Europe.
 Yet for no adequate reason many strikes have occurred in shipbuilding plants. After higher wages are grant ed comes the question of the open shop and then the issue of unioniZing collateral trades Even worse, thous- ands of men, because of the scarcity of skilled labor, become slackers ard loafers, cutting down production in the most vital of our war industries when the fate of the nation is at stake. Others, overwhelmed by pros~ perity, work only part of the time.
 Such a situation is disgraceful. It implies that one set of men, special ized in one kind of work is disloyal to the government itself in the greatest crisis of it's history. If in time of peace such an affair may be set down as a labor question; in the time of war it is a question primarily of patriotism.
 Neither capital nor labor can claim special rights. Special privileges are reserved only for the nation, which is fighting for its democratic exist ence. The industrial stacker or Bol- sheviki is therefore as much pro- fiteer as the corporation which seeks to profit at the expense of the govern ment.

NURSE FORGOT PASSWORD
Made Discovery That She Was Jabber. ing French to Home Neiohbor Who
 Was on Guard Duty.

An American nurse Somewhere in France" tells this story to friends back home.
 'I was feeling wornOut and nervous one day, and asked the privilege of taking walk in the fresh air. My re- quest was granted, and getting the password, started out with Il younger nurse for my companion. After enjoy ing Il long walk we returned. but came to sudden halt before soldier on guard, who demanded, in French, that l give the password. 1 had forgotten it. It had not been given to the other nurse. so she could not help me out of my predicament. I used all the French at my command. trying to explain to him. and finally trying to argue with him that I must get back, password or no password. He argued. in the same language, and stood his grounds. At last, tired out, angry with myself and with this woOden-faced, obstinate per son who blocked my way, cried out, like cross child: Tsh Gebibble.'
 Instantly the wooden face changed to very human. boyish face. The sol dier caught me by the shoulder and shook me soundly, exclaiming: Are you an American3' Then why on earth did you jabber all that stuff at mel"
 "'Why did you jabber back. in the same languageT growled.
 "T thought was the only American around here' he lauphed
 "Then we compared notes. and found that we not only both hailed from good old U. s. A., but from the same big old city, and that his home had been on the next street back of my home street. Maybe you think that wasn't some re- union And maybe you think I didn't go walking again. with no need of re- my password"

 That in my action 1 may soar as

 = Prince William Sound, and is city of probably one thou sand population. It is the center of the mining industry on the Sound, both copper and gold, and IS adjacent to and within easy hauling distance of the salmon grounds, many fresh water rivers and streams in Valdez Bay bring ing the fish in great numbers to within sight of the town. The city has one good cannery, which will operate two lines the coming season, employing probably one hundred and fifty persons. The city offers good opportuni- ties for fish saltery, a fertilizer factory, a glue factory, a tin can factory and box shook factory. all subsidiary to the fish packing business. The city owns its own wharf and the Valdez Dock Com- pany, which also owns splendid wharf is willing to give prospec- tive investors a chance for sites. VALDEZ has a progressive citizenry, with good high schools, churches, free reading room and library, good clubrooms and many lodges and organizations. Rents are very cheap, and living is but little higher than in the States. Many gold and copper mines are contiguous to Valdez, making this city their outfitting port, and drawing from its reserve of labor. The climate is very healthful, the extremes of heat and cold being rarely experienced. The mercury rarely falls below -15 in the win ter and 70 above is the highest summer temperature. The sum- mers are delightful and the win ters far better than those of the Northern Central or Eastern States.
 VALDEZ is the coast terminal of the government military high way to the Interior. During the summer months autos may reach Fairbanks from Valdez in 36 hours running time, over a fine road, through the most magnifi- cent scenery on the North Amer ican continent.
