Of Mr.. van Aalsts contentious. pls@
the case this way:
Assuming that the entente antnol

would q years Dutch exports go 70
feed the 10000 900 inhabitants OF
Germany and Austria Hungary!
That. he says, is the way the ques-
ton ought to be looked At, and the
answer is three and one-half days.
But, the figures, he claims, are not
correct Professor Won Hamel pro-
duces a detailed schedule. also paseu
on official statistics, showing that the
aggregate exports of the articles
named amounted. not to 91S,355, tons.
but to sec, 066 tons, or roughly, ~
uer cent less than was alleged.
His. conclusion therefore is, that
whole years exports from Holland 10
Germany are just sufficient TO keep
alive the joint population Of Germany
and Austria-Hungary for three and
one-half days, less 30 per cent, or
two days, ten hours and forty-elght

MANAGER PATTERSON SUMMARIZES RESULTS
 OF NORTHERN TRIP

There are mauy things demand l ing immediate attention for the welfare of Alaska, in the view of Manager ]. l.. McPherson, of the Alaska Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce, who has just returned from his annual trip to the North.
 In an interesting analysis, based upon his personnel observations and conference with officers and members of the commercial organ izations at the principal population centers he visited. Manager Me Pherson has outlined what seems to him the problems on which all friends of Alaska must center their efforts.
 Ii was the consensus of op- inion," he declared ul on his return, that strong, constructive policy, with necessary authority from Congress, must be adopted above everything else. This will assure a permanent population. It will dc away with many difficulties re- tarding the development of Alaska and which are actually depopulating the territory.
 In summarizing the results of his trip, definite needs in which the Alaska Bureau will render all aid possible, include:
 Necessary aid to revive Alaska's gold mining industry, required to protect our money standard,
 Improvement of the mail service. This is now in a worse condition than for many years.
 Increased water transportation, especially during the sum'rer sea son when the peak load is south bound. The shortage for the last two summers has been due to the withdrawal of steamers from the Alaskan service for war purposes.
 Aids to navigation and increased activity in the survey of A!aska's enormous coast line and adjacent waters.
 Early completion of the Govern ment railroad and the construction of wagon roads into adjacent min- ing districts.
 The improvement and construc. tion of wagon roads throughout all sections of Alaska.
 Proper regulations for the pro- lection and preservation of Alaska s rich fisheries and the centering of a fishing population in Alaska which will result in building up many fishing communities along the Alaska coast.
 Necessary prospecting work by drilling in the bituminous coal fields to induce capital to take up the development of Alaska's coal resources, which it will not do under the present lease law, with the uncertainty as to the location of commercially workable beds of coal.
 Enactment of a law that will permit of the development of the oil resources.
 Modification of the law pertaining to the securing of patent to ag' ricultural and mineral lands so as to do away with all unnecessary delay in patent proceedings, which has been a factor of considerable moment in discouraging capitol from Alakan investment.
 Inauguration of the taper pulI industry.
 Providing transportation and hotel facilities such as will attract

PLANS FOR w. s. $.
 DRIVE IN ARKANSAS

E. A. Howell, county chairman of War Savings Stamps in Jefferson County, A. w. Lowe, Frank Tomlin- son, Dr. J. I. Norris, and Mrs. Jack Bernhardt went to Little Rock yes terday to attend a meeting of the War Savings organizations of the state, in response to a call from w. G. Mc- Adoo, U. s. treasurer. The meeting was held in the Federal Court room yesterday morning at 10 o'clock with Morehead Wright, state chairman, presiding.
 Proclamations from President Will son and Governor Brough are being issued, setting aside June 2S as Ma tional War Savings day, at which time vigorous drive will be started for this cause.
 Arkansas is way behind in this work-is in fact 32nd in the list of states, and this fact alone should make us ashamed. At the meeting yesterday every county in the state was represented, and very enthu- siastic and determined set of men worked out the details of plan that will be inaugurated June 28, which it is hoped will move Arkansas near CT to the top than the 32nd place she now occupies.
