THE END IN SIGHT.

The achievement of our forces on the wes- tern battle front the last three days, gives us ample reason to rejoice, because we see the be ginning of the end of the great war. Already. the German papers are demanding to know the truth about what they call American peril"
 From the present outlook, we are of the opinion that the Kaiser as we'll as his would-be great military leaders are passing some restless nights as they begin to realize they must aban- don their pretenton to have the power of gov- erning the world through their military forces. Had they respected our rights, they might have the right to govern part of the world. but when they included America, they failed to rec ;on with the American spirit; which is to fight for our right to live; which means we acknowl- edge no defeat.

to samples of ignorance displayed by some people in the states about Alaska, and save few oc- casional remarks we have generally passed them up. AS a matter of fact, we have even attempt ed to excuse them at times. But for the editor and publisher of the widely read magazine, the Popular Mechanics published at Chicago, to show his lack of information about his country to the extent of writing the letter herewith re- produced, is no longer joke and brings us to the realization that it is up to the government to take upon itself the task of educating the people. To allow them to live in so crass ignorance is an injustice to the Alaskans who have need to do business with them. The letter is written on the editors own stationery with the name of HI. H. Windsor Editor and Publisher in one corner of the sheet. dated at Chicago, June 2S, and reads as follows:
 Mir Bjorn Casperson Hetta, Sulzer, Alaska.
 Dear Sir:-This will acknowledge receipt of your remittance for subscription. which obliged to hold temporarily.
 Just at the present time publishers of magazines in this country being requested to withhold mail ing to FOREIGN COUNTRIES on account of the great shortage of ships We hope this condition will be corrected and that may be able to resume mailing to you as formerly.
 Should it be evident that this delay is to extend over the period of the will return your mittance just as soon that fact is decided
 Yours truly,
 H. H. WINDSOR, Editor
 To class Alaska as a foreign country to the States might be pardonable among young clerks in department stores or other lines of business but for the editor of so popular magazine to dis play such ignorance, gets our goat. Specially when we consider that no part of the world has been so widely advertised the last twenty years as Alaska as being part and parcel of the United States

ABOUT THAT PETITION.

At the last meeting of the council, a petition the signers of which demanded that the Bergman satery or the waterfront be closed-presumably as :. nuisance; was presented, upon which, how c, CT. no action ,:as taken.
 From a mere observers point of view, it seems strange that in town like Ketchikan, men want to drive away business, specially when that business has been in operation for years. It is tue that the town is growing and that We should saep ID with the wave of progress; but it isn't growing because enterprises have been denied the privilege to do business; but because they have been encouraged
 IL opinion, it would be to the advantage C. ali if fishing enterprises were to occupy the eat;ie waterfront. even at the expense of re- E.o%ing other business back a square or two Today. the Juneau people are recognizing the bene6t derived from the fishing industry in their tefn end are losing sleep in their efforts to bring more cannerieS, salteries, cold storage plants etc.. and have gone to a great deal of expense to encourage such enterprises.
 We have not scrutinzed the names of the signers of that petition but We have been told hy 3 business man who claims to know that among the slgners, two are taxpayers. If such is the case, predict an easy death for that petition.
