CHAMBERIAIN'S DISCLOSURES
 HELPFUL

When Senator Chamberlain pro- claimed his intention of exposing the competency of the war department there were many persons who feared the effect of such an exposure would be harmful to the cOuntry's interests. They were apprehensive lest informa- tion of our laxness in preparing for war should get to the ears of the ene- my to his advantage and to our det- riment.
 Yet the outstanding effect of Cham berlain's speech will be to correct the abuses which he exposed. Already the administration is making haste to remedy in some measure the condi- tions which the senator revealed in the war department. The department has made wonderful progress in many respects, but that fact does not ren- der it immune from criticism for shortcomings which can be and should be corrected, and in turning
Valdez daily prospector., 1918-02-13

on the sunlight''-to use his own phrase-Senator Chamberlain has aroused the country to the need of better coordination and of uprooting |inefficiency in some branches of the department.
 To those who feared disclosures of weakness might be hurtful to our in terests, the answer Is that the truth cannot injure a righteous cause. If incompetency exists why permit 1t to flourish longer? If it does not, what cause is there for apprehension? It is said the Germans know more about our war preparations than the Ameri- can people. In that event the Cham berlain disclosure is not information t0 them but to ourselves.
 It required high order of courage for the administration leading mili- tary representative in the senate to bring in an indictment of Baker. But his standing and his position prove his lack of partisanship and his sin cerity. That he did not do so has placed him high in the estimation of the American people.
 The country needs more men of the Chamberlain type-men who will not let man or devil'' stand in the way of an honest observance of their oaths of office-and fewer of the type of the pusillanimous Stone. The contrast between the two senators speaks vol umes in itself.

EXCERPTS from the President s speech state that the United States was willing to be shown that the set dement's she has suggested are not the best and most enduring. Count Czernin's reply to the Presidents message is entered into in friend ly tone. The President stated that Count Won Hertling's reply is very vague and is certainly different in tone to that of Czernin, and appar- ently of opposite purpose.
 He stated that what we are striv- ing for now is an international peace based upon the broad universal prin- ciples of justice and right. We want no more peace of shreds and patches Whatever affects peace affects man. kind. Peace constitutes private or separate interest from which the world may be shut out.
 The Presidents speech was wide, ly discussed in the Washington and eastern papers today, and little knots of statesmen gathered in the corridors and talked it over after congress ad journed. The consensus of opinion was that separate peace with Aus tria would greatly weaken Germany military strength and bring about un iversal peace much sooner.

use of corn meal in the place of flour. It was admitted that the price of corn meal is higher than flour but the hope was expressed that the discrep- ency would bo removed with the mar keting of the new corn crop. It is a strange fact that while there is scar city of flour and an abundance of corn the 1917 crop was the largest in the country's history-the people must pay the higher price for the in ferior article of food. Thus their pat riotism is for some unexplained req son penalized The use of corn meal would be much more common If the price was not entirely out of propor- tiOn to it's value.

WHAT ABOUT THE BOY?

IT IS a well-known fact that hun dreds of young men and boys are leaving the towns in the territory to seek their living in the States, or in other localities where work is to be found
 There they are forced to work and struggle against big odds. pitting their small town training against city efficiency.
 They might as well have remained at home with the folks and realized their dreams of prosperity.
 How much better it would have been had these young men remained in the old home town and frightened their homes and the city with their presence?
 And they COULD. if Valdez citizens spent their money at home. Our neglect-yours and mine--to home interests and home institutions is responsible for these persons leav- ing.
 What have you done to help along this migration? Have you tried to help build up your town, or do you ask Alaska prices for your time or products and take advantage of the cheaper prices in the States.
 We. those of us who have sent their money out of town, have help i ed retard the city d dollars worth ev- cry time we spent dollar for foreign goods.
 It is not too late to remedy this de- feet in our civic pride. For one year. the year 1918. re- solve to spend your money at home. You will gain by it immeasurably The city will gain by 1t. Our boys will be able to stay at home.

T HE TOWN OF VALDEZ
 is situated at the head of
 = Prince William Sound, and is a 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, glue factory, a tin can factory and a box shook factory, all subsidiary to the fish packing business. The city owns it's own wharf and the Valdez Dock Com- pany, which also owns a 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 quitting 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 IS 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 fine road, through the most magnifi- cent scenery on the North Amer ican continent. In winter teams or dog sleds may be had at all times.
