BOOSTERS VERSUS KNOCKERS

The greatest example of what boosting can do is now before the world. That which great portion of the world said was i'm possible has happened The nation of peace full merchants and boosters has made light ming change which surpassed all expectations and even beyond the widest dreams of those who had knowledge of its tremendous re- sources. The indomitable spirit of American change, coupled with the spirit of few of the plans of the Prussian militarism. This mar vicious change which left the world gasping with wonder at such an exhibition of power and, at the same time thanking their lucky stars that it was directed at the Huns and not at themselves, has not been accomplished without encountering obstacles. The U. S.. had the resources and those who knew said that they could be placed in the field against the Hun and claimed that the tide of battle would be changed by the Americans. The pes simist got in his word against these optimists. He knocked any and everything which would further the cause of the allies and the Ameri- cans, and especially knocked any move which would take out of his pocket little money or deprive him of few of his pleasures. Fin simist got in his work against these optimists. which said the Hun could be beaten and world democracy established would not stand for it longer and labeled it pro-Germanism of the worst type The ultimatum of "fall in line or be put out of the way" was delivered. With a united front the greatest industrial nation of the world turned its tremendous re- sources to war channels and to the surprise of the Hun, who had done his best to further

DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE

The kaser's loyal retainers and friends have been endeavoring to free him from the blame for the war by saying that he was merely the tool of the German military party and was not the instigator behind it all. They have made all manner of excuses for him. even to calling him coward, saying that he was really afraid to make the actual declara- ton of war. Indications are that all this will be disproved, and by the German people them- selves.
 A member of the German foreign office, General Kautsky, has made an announcement concerning the investigation that has been go- ing on thru the documents of that office, as to who was really to blame for the war. They have been studying all the papers contained in the archives of the German foreign office, and as the result of this, the statement is definitely made that the kaiser and his son. the crown prince, are most to blame for the war; that, second come General Ludendorf and Admiral von Tirpitz third, the great in dustrial concerns; fourth the pan-German documents The documents on which they base these opinions will be published that the world may know, as we'll as the German peo- pie, just how the leaders have been proven guilty by these records.
 There has been no doubt in the minds of many of the leaders of the allies but that the Hohenzollerns were in a large measure re- sponsbe for the war. It is fairly well known that there were secret documents handed down in the family from the time of Frederick the Great that contained plans for the advance ment of the family which probably included world domination. These were given to each new ruler upon his accession to the throne, and were supposed to shape his policy to a great extent. Just what these papers contain ed>i is not known, for they were kept closely guarded and were only supposed to he read by the monarch. .
 The conviction that seemed to exist in the minds of the family of their divine right to rule, is another fact that would seem to fix a large part of the blame upon them. They believed that they were given the responsibil- |ity of ruling the German people by God, and also that the German people were likewise ap- pointed to lead the rest of the world That would give to the house of Hohenzollern the divine right to dominate the world Such a

BIG DISCOVERIES

The one question that probably causes more arguments and discussions than any oth- CT which ever comes up before the interiorites is that of the possibility for new discoveries of gold in large and paying quantities. The pulse of the old-time prospector and miner quickens at the thot of the old stampedes and he longs for another rush to new coun- try, with the excitement and mad scramble for the advantage Yet he feels that it is scarcely possible under existing conditions Many are the arguments advanced pro and con. The consensus of opinion is, however that it may be possible, but not probable. We'll may the seasoned prospector doubt that there ever will be another stampede like those he knew when he first came to the country. What can few dozen men running around at random accomplish in the way of making new discoveries especially when the great majority of the few are entirely inexperienced or have not the money to stay with proposi- tion until they have made thoro prospect. They are almost helpless, and cannot really accomplish much against such odds, however willing and anxious they may be.
 The conditions under which the great finds have been made were far different. The world was in need of gold then as it is to-

ORPHANS FUND ' OVER THE TOP
 FOR DECEMBER

The fund for the fatherless child. ren of France has gone over the top for the month of December, exceed. ing the thousand dollar mark by nearly two hundred dollars. Those in charge of the furd are feeling jubilant at the success of their ef- forts and thankful that the gener. osity of the people of the interior has made it possible.
 It would take a long story to tell the various sources from which the money was received. SO the latest acknowledgements only are printed. Yesterday there were received do nations from four sources. St. Matth- ew's Sunday Schoo. the Ruby Sunday School. Rampant and the Pioneer Women of Alaska, whose contribution Is one of the heaviest to be acknowl. edged dui ing the month. An account of the fund from the Pioneer Women appears in another column.
 The sum of $3.75 is credited to the Ruby children. Their donation am. ounted to $3.65. raised by the sale of tin foil. and in order to make the sum even money the required amount was added by the treasurer of the committee for the Fatherless Children of France.

HACKERS" AMONG NATIONS

With the cause of Democracy triumphing and the Autocrats of Germany beaten the all lied nations approach the peace table. Time lis being consumed as the representatives of the nations go carefully over the ground with the view of leaving no stone unturned that the peace about to be made may be long and lasting. While these dignified men are busy in this most noble enterprise we find skulking in the background one of the most despicable of spirits It is a spirit which flees from bat tie and in the night after victory is at hand steals about the battlefield robbing the dead while the tired victors rest. Since the grey dawn of history no spirit has been more hated. Victors and defeated have joined in exterrnin- ating such men. The neutral countries of Europe formerly trembling with fear at the power of the Hun, now, as it becomes certain that the Hun is downed, appear and, claiming that they were damaged by the Germans. want to put in claims for indemnity. They were trampled on by the Germans who considered them of an inferior race: they saw every prin- cple of Democracy broken by the Hun and yet failed to take action, apparently fearing that the Germans would win and were ready to lawn upon the victor. The spirit of man hood seems entirely lacking, They are in class with the neutral declarants of the U. S. Smirking and smiling they come with pended knee with the request that the allied nations allow them idemnity and seats at the peace conference.
 It is to the credit of the allied representa- tives that they do not lose their tempers at such requests and send their fleets to blast such nations out of existence. While given in cold, impassonate way, the answer of the allied representatives is none the less stern. It declares that the neutrals can have no seat at the peace conference. They are branded as Hackers"

to make their fortunes Beginning with the days of the almost accidental discovery at Dawson, there was mad rush of men for Alaska They came from all over the world i'll one mad scramble to get here first. Thou sands of men, backed by thousands of dollars rushed to the gold country. For the most part they stuck to the vicinity of the big finds, rushing to new places as the geologist an nounced that there was indication of gold there. Practically all other minerals were passed up in this mad rushing from place to place. The government men were not as popular as they might have been, and conse- quenty their advice was not taken for as much as it was worth oftentines. On the other hand, the capital back of those pros pectors who had failed for the most part to make discoveries was withdrawn, and these men gradually stopped prospecting. The really successful prospectors had settled down to the mining game, and there was nothing to guide the would-be prospector except the informa- tion given out by the geologist. At about the same time there were changes in the mining laws that were thot to discourage prospecting, all these things working together to bring about gradual cessation of prospecting until it almost ceased altogether. For the past ten years there has been very little prospecting worthy of the name and yet it is very evident that what little there has been has yielded big returns.
 While it may turn out that there will never be any more big discoveries, it wouldn't be safe bet to put money on the fact that there will not be- It is safe bet that many small and yet paying discoveries will be made if the government can be induced tO D1ace the exDertS in the field tO lead the men on to the localities where there is the best chance of finding what they are after With this sort of aid the men who really want to prospect will be able to put their time in to good advantage and be able to find some thing for themselves, as we'll as to be able to help in the development and opening up of the country.
 Another big factor in aiding the work would be the interesting of Outside capital. There are indications that soon money will be coming in from Outside sources to aid in developing the country that gave so much money for the different war activities; for the Red Cross, for the Liberty loans, for the war-service funds, and for other worthy causes that all helped to win the war.
 While it may be true that there will never be another big discovery of gold, sight must not be lost of the fact that there are other valuable minerals in Alaska, that are already known to be ill existence, in large quantities, that will pay and yield big returns when there is cheaper means of transportation. The gov ernment railroad will furnish this, and then vast quantities of other minerals will be taken out, and it may be along this line that big dis coveries will be made, and enormous develop nert will come to pass.
