 In the present dark hour there is no bright spot on the German horizon Even Russia and Ru- mania which are constantly cited as examples or what German military prowess can accomplish were hollow victories and cold comfort at this time. Russia was overcome by treachery and Rumana was smother because Russia did not give the promised help The Brest- -Litovsk and Bucharest treaties are sources of weakness, rather than of strength to Germany in the prevailing crisis, be- cause they reveal the grasping, interruptions disregard of plighted word that marked the lnva- sion of Belgium.

KLUKWAN HAVE
 "HEAP BIG TIME"
 ON ALASKA DAY
They Hold Out : of . Door Sports and Celebrate Ending of the Can-
 nery Season.
(From Isabel Amber Gilman)

(From Isabel Amber Gilman)
 The Klukwan Natives celebrated their homecoming from summer fish ing streams and canneries this year by big Territorial birthday party which covered the better part of twenty-four hours. 4.
 It began with outdoor sports, a ball game between Klukwan and Kluktwo, which ended in a score of to in favor of the home team. Next came three-legged race won by Tom Johnson and Willie Lee; a potato race won by Edward Donnelly, the prize being a sack of Klukwan pota toes; girls fifty-yard dash, won by Helen Lee; a boys fifty-yard dash, won by David Hotch; and hand kerchief relay race, won by the Klukwan team. Two thrilling games of basket ball were played,4 the first between girls team Nos. and 2, team winning; and the other be- tween boys teams Nos. 1 and 2, iii which No. 2 carried off the honors.
 The evening festivities started out with pie eating contest, a 12-pound cabbage grown in the school war garden being offered as a prize. It was tempting display of homemade pastry that would have convinced any judge in the land of the makers fitness for citizenship. The cabbage went to Mrs. Harry Lee. The K1uk wan Band, famous all over South eastern Alaska, furnished patriotic selections, and the dignified braves" who could not take part in the ath- letics of the afternoon, were among the speechmakers.
 MT. Falconer dedicated a three-star Service Flag to the Klukwan boys who are among our fighters in the world war. Mrs. Falconer explained the work of the Red Cross, the Sal vation Army, and the Young Mems Christian Association in the war zones. Miss Shepard spoke on Al aska Day and why we celebrate it. Mrs. Cary, principal of the Govern ment school, discussed the aims of the Bureau for the coming year and the part assigned to Klukwan; and MT. Carr acted as Four-minute man for the Fourth Liberty Bond drive After the usual singing of patriotic songs, MT. Rythford Shepard and Miss Esther Carr appeared as bride groom and bride also, and the au- dience laughed itself hoarse witness ing mock wedding.

Wick Not An Alaskan.
(CHARLES A. DERRY, in Cordova Times.}

(CHARLEs A. DERRY, in Cordova Times.)
 According to the accounts at hand, James Wicker sham Republican candidate for Delegate, did not make much of hit in Fairbanks. his former home 6urinr his visit that city The od-tlme Ter vor of the Alaskans greeting for the once popular James seemed to entirely lacking and arrivals from the Interior say that his somewhat chilly reception seemed have had the effect c quenchins the ardor of the "frend of Aaska.' While his speech there was attended ty large gathering, there was none of the former enthusiasm of those who delighted to hear him denounce the Guggenheims the Copper River
 ,,r,ad and tbe "fsh trust" While he indulged his well known hobby of roasting these institutions, still the old "kick" lacking. He was not at his best And there good reason for this Wicker sham in the event his second defeat at the polls, can longer have excuse for calling Alaska ms home for political purposes and his Interior trip p was somewhat the nature of farewell visit He is in the position of seeking a job in Alaska ana should this job be refused him he would perforce De compelled to seek occupation elsewhere James WICK ersham never has been a resident of Alaska in the true sense of the word. He came here as an office holders and he held office continuously until two years ago since which time he has spent his days outside the Territory. This probably is the reason why on his cards which have been so widely and friend" much in the manner that members of
 the Seattle Chamber of Commerce pride themselves on resident of Alaska is "Alaskas friend" It is only
 those residence is elsewhere who md 1t neces- sary to designate themselves such.
 James Wickersham has outlived ms usefulness to Alaska and there is little doubt that the coming election will result in what will practically be an
 invitation to him to make his home where his in- terests lie which is not Alaska This Territory should be represented in the halls of legislation by a man whose home and interests are here. and within the Territory IS not contingent upon the people eectng him to ofifhce. Such man is Charles A. Suzer who for many years prior to his election to Territorial Legislature helping to develop the resources the Territory which has been his home for many years. Should he be de- feated at the coming election, which unbeliev- able, he would return to his occupation In Alaska not to an office Outside. It is such men as Sulzer working for the upbuding of this new country, who know it's needs and better qualified to represent the interests of the people than peregrinatinf ofcehoder whose only interest in the Territory is and has been the holding of public office. |.

NEW ARMY SLANG
 IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE

CAMP KEARNEY, San Diego, Oct. 26.-Two new bits of army slang have come into use here. The lat est one is "richochet officer" A "richochet officer" has nothing to do with the artillery range, it was ex- plained, neither does he attempt to restrain glancing rifle bullets on the small arms target ranges. He mere- ly "richochets" from one joy to an other within the camp, pinch hit ting" wherever the need for officers may exceed the supply, or serving in such temporary organizations as may exceed the supply, or serving in such temporary organizations as the casual company or recruit receiv- ing battalion.
 The other term is Piston Pete" and it is applied to any hard boiled guy" who is unapproachable, bellig. erent, a martinet or unduly strics with his men.
