Territory Will Produce Food for Many Millions.
 (Charles Phillip Norton, in Leslies')
 Alaska can be made the agricultural Miracle of the world This announce ment is made by Prof. c. c. Georgeson, twenty years in Alaska, in charge of the government farm experiment sta tions, who came out December last and brought proofs of his assertion.
 Georgeson is great explorer, pro- found scholar and student. He says that what he knows is trivial in com parison with the secrets that nature is ready to disclose to mankind" He went to Alaska many years ago to study it's agricultural possibilities. He scorned opportunities for wealth. He said he was there to discover resources of far greater value than gold. By painstaking efforts through several years he proved that many kinds of food plants would grow in the interior Then he adopted for his lifework the task of developing hardy grains and plants that would mature perfectly, with absolutely certainty, yield abun- dantly and survive the cold. His task is now far advanced. He returned just before Christmas and announced that Alaska will produce food, fuel and metals for a population of many mil lions; that he has perfected hybrid wheat. oats and barley that will grow to perfection and yield abundant crcps throughout an area of 50,000 square miles; a strawberry plant that sur wives the winters without protection and produces enormous crops of ber- ries having a most delicious flavor; alfalfa of new kind that will provide food for live stock and replen;sh the nitrogen of air and soil and many other wonderful things. These were funda- mental needs-facts accomplished.
 "The agricultural possibilities of Alaska are as great" he said, "as all the minerals in the ground, and all that have been taken out, put together and multiplied.
 This is a big statement, know but, take mining claim! There may be million in it. With every thous-

THE GERMAN MENACE
 TO AMERICAN LABOR
By John R. Commons, The University of Wisconsin

AC OAANCASAty VI w 1SCOuSlu There is one thing that will set la bor back permanently, and that is a German victory.
 Twenty years ago the Czar of Russia proposed that all nations should cut down their standing armies, but they could not do it because Germany re- fused. Later Great Britain offered to join with Germany and cut down their navies, but the Kaiser would not even talk about 1t. Germany was prepar- ing for something like this war.
 If Germany defeats Great Britain, she will take over the British Navy. She will then be far and away the most powerful country in the world, and we Americans will be compelled to have a permanent standing army and huge navy to defend ourselves from sud- den attack.
 About every hundred years some na tion of Europe starts out to conquer the others and rule the world. First it was Spain, which in America owned everything from California to Pata- gonia. Then is was France and Ma poleon, who took Louisiana and the great country west of the Mississippi away from Spain.
 But though Spin conquered nearly every nation of Europe, and Napoleon conquered every nation on the Contin- ent, they could not reach Great Britain The British Navy compelled Spain and France to let go of America; and much democracy as we have in North and South America is possible because no one country in Europe could perman- ently conquer the others as long as it could not conquer Great Britain. Our country has been big and free and un1 armed because Europe was divided among equal powers. Napoleon did not have submarine with which to destroy Great Britains power. But Germany is willing to fight the whole world if only she can succeed in her attempt to wipe out the British Navy. Then she conquers not only Europe, as Napoleon did, but Asia, Africa, and America.
 If America had not come into the war, or if America had refused to sell food and munitions to the Allies, Eur ope would already have been conquer ed. If Germany wins, then there is nothing for North and South America to do but build up their navies and standing armies as big as possible, for when Germany strikes she hits sud denly and frightfully.
 Nations must look ahead. Individ- uals can be short-sighted, because they die anyhow. But not nations. If we do not win now, while Great Britain and France are abue to fight, we shall have to be armed to the teeth for years and centuries ahead, as long as Ger many rules the world.
 A huge and permanent army and navy besides taking our boys and workingmen every year for military service, means low wages, long hours of labor. suppression of labor unions. suppression of free speech, repeal of labzor legislation on behalf of women
 nd children, and all nardships that millions of workingmen have come to
 America to escape.
 It Is bad enough to be compelled to .nake this one tremendous effert right now to win the war. It will be far worse to be compelled to be ready all | the time for another like it.

WIZARD WITH FIGURES

-- Joseph s. Mccoy, statistical expert
connected with the treasury depart
ment, is by education and training an
expert mathematician. But much Of
the most valuable work he accom-
plishes for the government is less due
to- his mathematical knowledge than
to his rare ability in utilizing the sim
pie, elemental, commonplace facts that
everybody knows.
r.. One of his most important duties
is to tell the revenue committees OF
congress how much money may be de-
rived from any proposed taxation. In
this work of forecasting Mccoy has
done wonderful things. For example,
he estimated in 1913 that the income
tax from corporations for the year
ended June 30, 1915, would be about
$50, 100000. He came within about $144,-
900 of absolute accuracy. Every year
: he makes an estimate of what the total
census of the country will be several
years ahead. In 1901 he figured the
population of 1910. Nine years later Il

flower-filled square, more than eleven
thousand feet above Sea-level, the
semitropical sun shedding it's warmth
radiantly upon your head through the
thin, transparent, cloudless air, you
find yourself wondering which way to
face lest something Of the strange
ever-unfolding scenes escape your
gaze. One side of the square is lined
by row of little shops filled with 81
varieties of merchandise in which pre-
dominate gay-colored saddles and d.
verse accoutrements for the burros
and pack animals, with profuse deco
rations of red and green and blue
wool; before these shops sit Indian
and cholo women holding in their
hands spindle spools which they manip'
ulate dexterodsly during the intervals
of trade, spinning the wool and weav-
ing it into the ponCho and caps and
full shirts of the native dress.
Above these quaint places of mer-
chandise in the top of these two-storied
houses that spread out over the side
walks are homes with deliberately
carved balconies overhanging the
street in old Spanish fashion, and with
red tiled roofs that glitter in the bright
sunshine.
Cathedral and Fortress.
On ANOTHER side Of the plaza stands
the ancient cathedral, built as one Is
told of the famous Inca stone and con-
tanning the brother Of Pizarro and that
Spanish conqueror's partner, Almargo.
On the doors Of the chapel of San
tiago, adjoining the cathedral, one can
read the legend preserved in archaic
sculpture of st. James coming down
visibly on his white horse, standing
with lance in rest. turning the tide
of battle in favor Of the Spaniards, thus
noting the last throes Of the famous
Inca empire. -
On still another side of the square,
you can study the remarkable facade
of the old Jesuit church and the an.
Client University of Cuzco founded in
the sixteenth century, which buildings
are said to be connected by an under
ground passage associated with many
an historic intrigue in the days that
are dead. q.
These great piles of ancient mason
ry look straight away to the east where
the great megalithic fortress of Sacsa'
huaman, that cyclopean structure If-
ten called the ninth wonder of the
world, tops the hill 600 feet above the
city, and where one climbs to behold
the rock remains which guarded the
aboriginal Inca empire of Nance Ca
pac. On the summit stands a cross
bearing the inscription to the effect
that he who climbs the hill kisses the
crucifix and says a prayer at the foot
Of the cross, to him hundred days Of
indulgence shall be granted.

Gently with the name of Gen. Armando
Diaz, creator of the greatest victory
his people have celebrated since they
were knit together In a modern na-
ton, he is one of the least-known men
in Italy. Too short a time in supreme

General Diaz comes of a noble
family. AS the name suggests, it is
of Spanish origin and the Italian
branch doubtless dates from one of
the frequent Spanish invasions of CEN
turtles ago when Italy was the battle
field for the world.
Like Generals Foch and Petain,
General Diaz began his career as an
artillery officer. He was educated at
