THE LAST PLEDGE.
WHAT THE WAR MEANS

Henry Clews, the New York financ- fer, in an annual review of the war it's losses and gains-presents some very imposing figures. For instance, he says over 50.000.000 men are un- der arms in Europe, whose energies have been turned from production to destruction. Over 12,000,000 men have been killed or injured since the war began, the killed alone number ing over 100000. Over $100.000,- 100000 has been expended already
Valdez daily prospector., 1918-01-17

by the nations at war and the pros poets are that the total will be $160,- 900, 900, 900 when the fourth year of the war ends next August.
 When it is remembered" says MT. Clews, "that for every man at the front from three to five are required at the rear for support, 1t follows that between 15O,O0O, ,Oo0 and 100000 900 men have been withdrawn from the normal channels of production in- to the abnormal. No wonder that the world is facing a serious economic famine, not only in food and cloth ing, but also in the innumerable ma terials required for human comfort and support. The loss in life and mon ey only partly measures the colossal bill for damages, which will be a crushing burden for generations. Such a bill must also include the setbacks in moral and spiritual forces, the in heritance of bitterness, the detrimen- tai effects upon art, literature. science and education and all the varied so- cial and political activities which are part of our civilization"
 In commenting on the cost of the war it is pointed out that the six great wars preceding-the Russo Japanese, the Boer, the Franco-Prus- san, the American Civil war. the Cri- mean and the Napoleonic wars cost about $23,0OO.000,000 as against $15O, ,OOO, 100000, the estimate of this war up to next August. Great Britain will then have spent $34.000,000,o0o, including $6.0O0 100000 in loans to allies, and good authorities estimate that in three years the warning pow CTS will have quadrupled their debts. the interest on which already amounts to $5,0O0.000.000. England is now the only European nation redeeming its obligations in gold.
 Upon the United States the most striking effects of war have been marvellous expansion of banking pow er," says the writer; "the change from a debtor to a creditor nation; sensational development in our for eign commerce; the sudden creation of a great mercantile marine; the birth of an important chemical in- dustry; the great expansion of our steel industry. and the raising of az ricultural products valued at $21.- OO0,0OO.00O compared with $14,000.- OOO.OOO a year ago."
 Mir. Clews says we are the only country that has benefited largely by the war, and this through no selfish effort of our own. Some of the belli- gerents are already on the edge of bankruptcy. While Great Britain may be expected to recuperate rapidly no nation will be so we'll prepared after the war for great forward strides as the United States.
Valdez daily prospector., 1918-01-17

would see quenched the terrible flame of war. The conviction is based on several theories and some collateral facts-the failure of the German U- boat campaign to fulfill its grand de- signs; the gradual deterioration of Germany as a fighting power; the steadily increasing military strength of the allied nations; the entry of the United States Into the arena of war.
 Admittedly, nowevc,, there is less ground today for expecting allied sue cess in 1918 than there was six months ago. The salient reason for this statement is to be found in the condition of Russia and a secondary consideration, which is contingent up- on the first, is the reverse sustained by Italy. As premier of Great Brit ain has wisely said, the determination of the United States to take up the gage of battle against the autOcracy of Germany more than offsets the paralysis of Russia. but the material , weight of this new accession to the allied strength will be felt only in a comparatively small measure this year.
 Viewed from the militasy stand- point solely. there is little on which to base the hope that peace with vic tory can come during 1918. Germany is suffering internally, but it is ques- tionable indeed that the allies can win a decision during the summers fighting. If the central powers, as some theories hold, tumble as house of cards when they begin to fall. a collapse may come at most unex- pected moment. but it is hardly req sonable to count upon it with any de- gree of definiteness.
 Yet it is evident that Germany wants peace-possibly is in greater need of peace than appears on the sur face. Each new overture to the en- tente shows a slightly greater spirit of concession than the last. If there in sincerity in these offers, which gre coming with remarkable regularity the day of victory for the champions of democracy may be nearer than it appears in the military horoscope.
 Thus, sifted down. the prospects for peace in 1918 are alternatingly bright and dark The nard-headed in- terpreter of the war maps says no; the man of faith says yes--and that. after all, is about as near as 1t Is possible to come to an answer to the question.

ington senator said officers now must pay "profiteers" two or three prices for uniforms. and read a letter from an officer. Every scoundrel in the country is stocked up on military sup plies. which the quartermaster claims he is unable to obtain"
 The writer said the Jones bill would authorize that all uniforms be to officers by the govern ment at cost.

WILL 1918 BRING PEACE:

AS the new year is ushered in, the outstanding question is whether it will be distinguished as the year of peace as 1914 was marked as the year of red war. Every other consideration of the human family is subordinate to that. In a broad sense the entire ac- tivities of the civilized world are con- tingent upon it.
 Somehow there has been widely prevalent notion that the present year

T HE TOWN OF VALDEZ is situated at the head of = 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 sowss. 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, 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 Con- 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 outftting port, and drawing from its reserve of labor. The climate is very hea1thful, 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 a fine road. through the most magnih- cent scenery on the North Amer ican continent. In winter teams or dog sleds may be had at all , times.
 VALDEZ has a number of first class hotels and restaurants, and the traveller and miner can be as- sured of comfortable lodgings |" minimum expense. Parties de- string to outfit for mining or pros pecting can do so ar our stores far cheaper than in the States, with men of experience to help se- lect their outfits.

THE weights in boxing have changed
7 l considerable during the past %
years. In 1895 the late Nels Ennis
Of Boston, and also Richard X Fox.
gave out the weights in the various
classes as follows: Bantam. los to us;
featherweight. lis TO 122; lightweight.
129 to 1913: weller, 1913 to 142; middle
weight. 142 to 15S; heavyweight, over
15S. Previous to that lime the
featherweight limit had been rs and
all weighing time was at ringside.
No one ever bothered about the
heavyweights- II man was over 15S
he was considered a heavy and no
thought was given to the intermediate
weights, such as the light heavy
weight Of today. When Tom Sayers
fought John c. Heenan for the
worlds title in England the latter
weighed 220 and Sayers barely over
the 155 pound mark Charlie Mitchell
scaled around $50 when he fought
John L. Sullivan, who was over 200
Lou Houseman, Of Chicago. was the
first to introduce the intermediate
weight, or rs pounds and under,
when he matched his man, Jack Root,
against George Gardner at Fort Erie,
Ont. for the then cruiserweight cham
pionship. During the time OF Joe
WalcOtt and Tommy Ryan the welter-
weight limit was boosted 10 IA
pounds and later to 14S. but it was
again placed at AS and still remains
there
George Lavigne boosted the light
weight limit to 13s when he fought
Dick Burge in England. but II was
afterwards brought back to 1913 by
Frank Erne and again advanced by
Joe Cans. but hauled back by Battling
Nelson Willie Richie boosted It to
135 when he fought Freddy Welsh and
Il was kept there by Welsh and last
by Benny Leonard
The feathers still hold at 122. but
the bantams have advanced and an
other class put in-the flyweights at
112 and the bantam at lis. All this
only demonstrates again the necessity
Of a national organization TO control
all weights and title matches. the
same as is done IN England. France
and Australia
After war was declared with Ger
