EXTENDING THE TIME.

The granting of the additional
seven days to Germany that it may
have an opportunity to examine a
number of the points in the peace
treaty which it has not been able to do
and to make reply regarding certain
of the requirements is not unexpect-
ed. The peace document is certainly
a long one and the provisions con-
tanned therein are deserving of prop
er study. The allies are dealing
on the basis of justice with the enemy
and in that connection it is but proper
that due time should be given to
making clear what the provisions are.
1t is even intimated that there may
be some minor changes by the allies
in the treaty provisions, regarding
points that have been brought to at
tention since the document was ap-
proved, but such would not alter in
the main the provisions that Germany
must sign
Germany as was to be expected is
claiming that the signing of the
treaty means economic destruction.

ton of that nation but Germany
should realize now if it never did be-
fore that it alone was responsible for
the bed upon which it must rest. OF
course the idea that it was RESPONSE
Bile for its acts may be contrary to
the teachings in that country. but it
should understand that it is not be-
ing called upon TO pay in full for what
it has done. That would without
question mean utter ruin. The de-
r1and that is made is that it should
pay what it can in reparation for its
acts and that is certainly Just. Ger

thereof under allied direction which is

PROTECTING OCEAN AVIAToRs.

That Hawkcr and Grieve, who left
Newfoundland for Ireland in a Sop
with machine and have not been heard
from since. are lost seems certain. 1t
will indeed be most surprising if
anything is ever heard from them or
" any information is obtained as to
what happened
There has been some criticism in
dulged in in England because there
were no precautions taken to guard
their safety while crossing the
ocean in some such way as was done
in the case Of the American f1iers, but
1t is a question whether a string of
ships between the two points would
have insured their safety to the de-
gree that existed in the case of the
Americans.
Hawker's machine in the first place
did not furnish the aviators any pro-
lection. 1t could not be kept afloat
and there was little provision on the
part of the airmen themselves in that
direction, whereas in the case Of the
American seaplanes they not only
could float but they were able to with
stand severe buffeting and cover
hundreds of miles on the surface of
the water.
Had there been a string of ships be-
tween Newfoundland and Ireland it is
entirely possible that weather condi-
tons would have caused the Sopwith
to have been driven off its course and
such being the case there would have
been little or no chance of rescue in
case 1t had fallen into the sea.
The experiment with the two types
Of flying machines makes it evident
that it is seaplane fashioned after
the American type that will furnish
the greatest degree of safety to ocear
aviators, but regardless OF the type OF
machine there Gamble no doubt of the
hazard that prevails because of the
uncertainty of the weather condi-
tons.

HELP THE SALVATION ARMY.

Norwichs quota for the Salvation
Army drive is not a large one, but
large or small it is for such a worthy
cause that there should not be the
least hesftancy in meeting it.
The Salvation Army does a re-
markedly good work, 1t reaches out
to those who need a helping hand, the
size of the job doesn't bother and the
overhead expense of the organization
is kept to the minimum The effort Is
and the accomplishments of the Sal
walton Army are well known. 1t is
launching out on no new undertakings
except as the need for its service is
met, but it is endcavoring to secure
through the raising of the fund from
the country during this week the
means of placing it on a higher basis
of efficiency. Instead of having its
appeals prevented Gaily and thus
spend a much greater amount Of time
in soliciting funds the idea is to OBJ
tain it's working capital in this brief
period and thus permit the devotion OF
the rest of the time for the most part
to constructive work.
From the excellent results that
have been obtained by the organiza-
ton working under the support it has
been given in the past. it is certainly
time that the people Of the country
should get back of it and give it the
boost that it deserves. Like the other
appeals it is a cause in which every
one should want a. hand and it is
through the small but many contri-
buttons that the fund is going to be
raised without anyone feeling it. The
chance fer aiding the needy anf
friendless through this agency mean,
uplift work that is not likely to be-
done by others and Norwich should
certainly be anxious to see that i

 ritory and People

Dr. Wilhelm Petersen, pastor oi the Bethlehem Lutheran Church ol Portland, Oregon, and noted econo mist, writer and platform speaker is a Juneau visitor Dr. Petersen has long desired to make a study of Alaska and Alaskan conditions, part ly due to the similarity of the clim attic, industrial and other conditions here and those of the northern sec. tion of his native Norway.

He left Minnesota some years ago and located at Portland, Maine, where he was a college professor From there he moved to Portland Oregon, four years ago, and now has the largest Lutheran congregation on the Pacific Coast
