GOOD DAYS AHEAD.

Now, for the first time in history, we are be-
roming possessed of mercantile marine Of
size commensurate with our own banking estab-
iiishments in foreign lands. In such foretign
trade as we develop hereafter we will not have
to pay tribute to others for carrying our goods,
for marketing products or for furnishing
financial accommodations for our business
Heretofore the foreigner has been doubtful
about the American. He has considered him
an upstart, wonderful successful person but
bumptious and not to be trusted. He has not
been eager to trade with the American, for the
American has been unwilling to conform to the
foreigners business forms or caprices. He has
considered the American arrogant and to large
degree money mad
The war has changed the foreigners view
He has seen America pour out its wealth of
men and money the altar Of human liberty
He has seen the people he thought were dollar
tdolators ready to sacrifice everything for the
ideal of world democracy. He has come sud-
denly to think of Americans as the greatest peo-
pie of the world.
America has won something in this war the
worth of which cannot be measured It has won
the good will of the world. The whole world
wants to trade with America. 1t must trade
with it for time for from no other source can
it obtain so readily the raw and finished pro-
ducts, the foodstuffs, the financial accommoda-
lions it can get here.
Foreign trade is the life blood of international
health and greatness. The world needs every
thing America supply. The American farm,
the American factory, the American mill work
ing to their highest capacity for the next few
years cannot meet all the demands that the world
will make on them.
We may expect unsettlement here or there in
charging over our industrial equipment from
war needs to peace needs, but nothing more for
we have good days, active days, prosperous days
ahead for fair number of years.

house OF Hapsburg came along at this
juncture and restored order by de-
stroying a big consignment of no.
bility.
In 1872 he took the duchies OF Aus
tria, Syria, Carinthia and some Of
the others.
Following the tempestuous work OF
Martin Luther and the period of the
Reformation came the Thirty Years
War, beginning in 1917 upon tine cleo
ton of Ferdinand to be king of Ba-
varia. This war ended in 1887 with
the Peace of Westphalia, with auton-
omous states. Ruination had spread
over the land.
In 1701 the Elector Frederick as
sumed the title of king of Prussia.
Then began PruSsianism. From that
day Prussia began to dominate, TAX
ing the lead in expressing the German
national spirit. by reason OF it's SUI
perior energy, its Protestanism and
it's enmity toward the ilI-starred Haps-
bnrgs.
The seven years war came shortly
after, with Prussia EMERGING as a
first-class military power, surprising
Europe by its efficiency and rapidity
of movement ina military way.
In 1915 the Germanic Federation of
80 states was formed at the congress
of Vienna, Napoleon already having
played leading part in having con-
sohdated the more than 800 independ-
ent states into that small number.
More jealousies grew out OF this
confederation and for a considerable
period there was constant strife over
the form of government
throughout all Germanic history
especially the history that dates from
the period Of Prussian dominance, re-
preston Of the people has been prac-
ticed by government
It has been a constant game OF the
man below looking for q chance to
strike the iron man above.

RAISE THE GRADE.

Fatten your hogs and your sheep. Raise the
grade of your cattle. Feed your soil ntelligently
with fertilizer for fertilizer returns to the earth
the properties that are taken from the earth by
the crops that are grown.
The farm is the foundation of all industry,
1t is the greatest of all industries The greatest
task in tn world is the turning of the surface
of the arabic lands of the earth each year for the
growing of crops.
The farm is in state of transition Machine
power is changing it from drudgery to some
thing much different.
Never were opportunities of the farm, par
ticularly the American farm, so good as today
Never were the needs for big crops so great.
Plow deep. It means profit.
Farm prices are going to be higher for years,
not so high as today, perhaps, but nevertheless
high. The American farmer faces prosperity, bgi
prosperity. Conditions never were so favorable
There will be eager, insistent market for ev-
erything he can produce. The Rural Credits Act
makes it possible for him to get money cheaper
than possible in former times. Farm inn
plements building material, fertilizers and other
articles he requires will not be SO expensive as
they are today.

GERMANY / LAND
Of REVOLUTIONS
FOR CENTURIES

Germany has been a land OF revo-
lutions and war from the beginning OF
it's history In the year S4s, When oy
the treaty OF verdun, the empire or
Charles the Great, was divided among
his three grandsons.
The history OF the Gernanic states
of old is filled with accounts OF inter-
state strife.
Last of the evolutionary movements
was that of 1s4s-a date OF historic
Importance for America as well as
Germany.
The revolutionary movement sprung
from the German-speaking section OF
Austria and the southern Germanic
States generally. The agitation out OF
which this revolution finally sprung
began in 1880. giving some impulse to
the constitutional movement.
In 1913 Prince Metternich was the
Prussian chancellor. His policy was
one Of repression. On March Ii he
was driven from power. But a few
days later there was popular upris-
ing in Berlin. At the same time Louis
I OF Bavaria, was compelled to abdi-
cate.
In April there was a republican in
surrection in Baden, but 1t was sup
pressed quickly.
Gut OF this 1nSurrecdOnary move
ment came the assembling OF a ma
tional parliament at Frankfort in May.
It lasted one year. TWAS IL years
later-years Of strife-that Prince
William became King William I Of
Prussia, with Bismarck, the empire
builder, as his aide.
The revolutionary movement Of 1913
resulted in thousands of courageous
and aggressive Germans being driven
from the country.
In the years Immediately following
came the great emigration to America
With this influx to this country came
the German turn vereins and other
typical German institutions.

COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
 DISCUSSES FORMING
 OF HOME GUARD CO

DOUGLAS, March IA meeting of the Douglas Island Council of De fense was held yesterday afternoon at which, with the exception of three or four, all the memebrs were pres ent.
 Considerable business was before the meeting for discussion, based largely on committee reports. The matter of organizing Home Guard to be made up of both Douglas and Treadwell citizens was discussed and very favorably considered. A com mittee was appointed to secure fur ther information relative to the steps necessary to take for bringing about such an organization, and to report to the chairman of the council who will call a meeting to hear and act on the report. Messrs. H. F. Mor- ton, Jack Wilson and D. J. Kinzie constitute the committee. It was stated that similar companies have been organized all over Alaska, many of them at places having less than half the population of the Island.
 The meeting adjourned subject to the call of the chairman.
