THE RAILROAD REGIMENT

The government proposal to raise a regiment of railroad constructors com posed of men who have been at one time or another employed on the con- Struction of the new government rail- road in Alaska, appears 10 be an ex- ccllent one.
 As an adjunct to our military forces regiment of railroad builders of the character suggested would doubtless prove most valuable. Miles upon miles of railroad line will be required be- hind the battle lines in order that our military forces may reach their great est effectiveness in the deadly game of war
 With each mile of advance. an in- tricatc network of steel rails must be laid to transport the vast quantities of munitions and supplies required to keep the guns working and the troops supplied with food and ammunition. And the quicker and better this work can be done, the greater the cffcc- tveness of the soldiers and gunners.
 Trained men are essential and we believe that in the many thousand men who have been employed on the new road to interior Alaska, since it's commencement three years ago the government has an excellent field to draw from, and should have little difficulty in raising the quota required to form the proposed regiment
 Each of these men would be quali- fled by the experience gained in rail- road construction in the territory to devote his time and labor to the great est advantage and would, therefore, he of inestimable value in the fur thcrcnce of our military operations.
 However, judging from what we hear it would be something of q mis. homer to designate such a regiment as an Alaskan" regiment for we gather from the reports reaching us from Seward. Anchorage, and other points along the line of the new rail- road. that mighty few genuine Alas. tans are or have been employed on

AMERICAN FREE PORTS.
lErom Seattle [. U

(trOm seattle T.. I)
 Frederic C. Howe. United States commissioner of immigration, argues strongly for the creation of not less than six free ports in America, three on the Pacific and three on the At lantic coast. In a recent paper con- tributed to the Economic World Mir
 Howe suggests that the free ports would be particularly useful in the after-war period, when America will be making efforts to strengthen it's comerce and advantage itself in the rcadjusment of international trade.
 In abolishinS the tariff barrier at free ports, foreign trade will be en- cOuraged. Germany was enabled to compete SD strongly with England by reason of it's free ports at Hamburg. Bremen and Lubeck Tariffs have a tendency to discourage the shipment of foreign goods into America. The establishment of areas free from tariff exactions stimulates foreign shipments to such ports, and furnishes variety of cargo insurance for ships that might otherwise be assured of car % but one way.
 "Quite obviously.' writes Mir. Howe. these free ports should recognize ex- istinG transportation and industrial conditions They should ,he hulsea ur with rail transportiti The leading Atlantic ports are New York. Boston and Philadelphia: New Orleans may also become port of great promin- cnCc in connection with the Panama canal traffic. Upon the Pacific coast, san Francisco. Los Angeles and Se- attle arc all ports of importance. all of which own or pEln to own a com prehensive system of municipal docks. These would seem to be the natural harbOrs for making preliminary ex- perimcnts in free ports In addition all these cities are rail terminals. and have a substantial industrial life which would quicken by contact with the free port idea"
 It is noted that ports in England, Hamburg, Bremen, Lubeck, Antwerp. Copenhagen, Hong Honk and Singa- pore. all free, are among the com manding ports of the world, giving in- centive to the operation of world steamship lines because cargo is prac- tically guaranteed both ways. and creating great markets in which i'm portant commodities of the world are exhibited for purchase and sale They attract, also exporting houses build up international credit and invite an increasing share of international ex- change.

that important construction since it's
 inception.
 According to those who claim to know whereof they speak, a visit to the railroad camps in the vicinity of Anchorage is singularly suggestive of d sojourn in Little Russia or Poland while a glance over the roster of cm- ployees is enough to give one a brain storm
 It is really too bad that railroad construction regiment of genuine si- mon pure somdough's cannot be sent to the front for your real Alaskan is one of the most intelligent and re- sourceful worltmen to be found any where in the world and is, further more the "wllingest" chap we have ever encountered when it comes to buc<ing into hard labor and difficult ties,
