,, Greater love hath no man than
J this. that man lay down his life
for his friends That Is one OF the
most beautiful and philosophical SEN
tences written by John, the disciple
whom Jesus loved.
This paraphrase OF that sentences
Is equally true and philosophical:
Greater love and higher nonor hath
! no man than this, that a man lay
down his life for his country-or
offers so to do Therefore. all
honor. all glory. all love be to the
brave and patriotic and self-sacri-
ficing men of America who buckled
on their armor and went forth to
, fight at the call of their beloved
, country.
There are tears for the unre-
, turning brave: there are aid and
tenderest compassion for the maim-
ed and those whose health was
broken in the service abroad or in
home camps: there is a high resolve
to succor the war widows and or
phans in their sore distress; there
is heartfelt gratitude to the living
and the dead; there is. sympathy
unspeakable for the fathers and
mothers whose sons lost their lives
in the awful tragedy: there are
profoundest thanks to the Almighty

bloody conflict safe and strong and
hopeful for the future of our own

SEEKS SANCTION
OF WIRE MERCER
Carlton. Says Reynolds Of
Postal Fought u. S.
- Operation.

Amendment OF the Sherman law to
let telephone and telegraph companies
combine their services was urged be-
fore the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee yesterday by Newcomo
Carlton, president Of the Western
Union.
:. Carlton did not ask for a combina-
ton Of companies. but for legislation
giving the Interstate Commerce Com
mission authority to approve ar
engagements between telegraph and
telephone companies whereby every
telephone would become a telegraph
ofice open twenty-four hours a day.
: This should be done. Carlton said.
before the wires are returned to their
1wners.
Z IF Congress will remedy the ex-
ktinS conditions we will give the
gnited States the greatest system Of
wire communication in the world, a
Nstem impossible IN any other coun-
ry." he said.
Carlton declared there Is no profit
in such a system. but said it would
help the country's prosperity and de-
felopment.
Carlton declared there was no
var necessity for taking over the
Fires and the only purpose was
p fasten a program of govern
nent ownership on the country.

Thirty-nine thousand tons Of
shipping were added to the Ameri-
can Merchant Marine when the five
cargo carriers slid down the ways

was established when the launch

minutes.
Will Not Quit Industry.
The war rudely awakened us to
the fact that while we were rich and
powerful. the one thing that gave
value in that struggle to all we pos
sessed was ships and these we lack
ed and lacked woefully." he said.
We will not quit the shipbuilding
industry. We will put II on a firm
and sound basis. We will build big
ships and bigger ships. which can
be manned by small crews and have
large steaming radius.

, from the long lesson of experience
that the only way for America to
do its part in the rebuilding of the

growing surplus Of American toll.
The genius. the craftsmanship and
skill of America must be united to

small percentage of high school graduating students who go to institutions for higher learning. The fact that it is necessary for them to leave home, to pay considerable money for an education which is not designed to meet the peculiar conditions which exist in the Northland, without question deters many from trying to equip themselves with college ed1. cation. It is for the boys and girls who are not now able to do so, or who are unwilling to purchase at high cost knowledge which is not directly applicable to the problems which they must overcome in assisting in the deve- opment of Alaska, that territory must build its schools of higher education.
 If Speaker Whites argument were fol- lowed to its logical conclusion the territory might as we'll abolish its high schools and say that when the students finish the grades they should go to the states where there are larger high schools where the ,so-called advantages" of "big cities and greater activity" exist.
 The hope of any country rests in its young men and women, its boys and girls, the youth of the land. As long as that youth is compelled by force of circumstances to go abroad for its education so long will the cour1- try suffer the loss of not small percentage of its young people, And Alaska has suffered more than her share of such losses just be- cause men of Speaker Whites way of think | ing cannot see the real advantages which spread out at their own feet.

pointed out in his speech to the senate yester- day, the League is a. part of the treaty. In fact it is the spirit which gives this document life The treaty is built upon its existence. As European problems were studied by the conference, said MT. Wilson, it became appar- ert to all the delegates that the League was necessary for the establishment of new world order which would free all nations from wars, and the greatest minds of Europe turn ed with one accord to the League of Nations. The natural result is seen in the cohesion of the League covenant and the treaty terms.
 The republican publicity committee ill literature it has mailed broadcast recently re- ferred to the League as an "old maids' tea party" It characterized it as without means of being effective. In this it was wrong; The teeth of the League, the force by which it can enforce the fulhlment of the terms signed by Germany, are provided for in the special agreement proposed between France England and the United States by which the two lat ter governments agree to come to the aid of France in case of unprovoked aggression by Germany.
 It is probable that the republican opposi- tion will center their fight on this special agreement. It will be denounced as an Gen. tangling alliance" and the President will be accused of meddling in European politics.
 The logic of the Presidents stand is clear. He recognizes that new world system is necessary to prevent another disastrous Euro pean war, possibly within the present genera ton. The change is provided for in the League of Nations which, in order to be ef- fective, must have some tangible force. And that is furnished by the proposed special al- liance of England, France and America. It is an alliance to secure peace and not to make war Mr. Wilson belives that if the American people are willing to associate themselves with European nations in making war they will not be less willing to ally themselves with the same nations for the purpose of seeing that peace is maintained

NO SERIOUS DAMAGE,

The abandonment of the reconstruction work on the Tanana Valley R. R. from Happy to Fairbanks, caused by the ten million dollar cut in the Alaska railroad appropriation, while it will mean small reduction in the amount of money to be spent in this vicinity by the Alaskan Engineering commission, will not have any noticeable effect on local conditions Fairbanks is not now nor has it ever been de- pendent on the expenditure of government funds for its existence, and the loss of the few thousands of dollars from this source will hardly be noticeable in the aggregate for the year from all sources.
 It is true that the Panama Valley recon struction work would be welcomed here as it would give tangible evidence of the coming of standard gauge connection with the coast Its moral effect would undoubtedly be greater than the financial benefits to be accrued there from. But the loss of money will hardly be noticeable.
 The loss of the appropriation has not changed the plans of the commission for link ing Fairbanks with the coal fields this fall. While no new contracts will be awarded, the work between Fairbanks and the Panama riv- CT at Nenana will be pushed with vigor, ac cording to Nenana advices, and steel laid and trains operating before real winter sets in.

VACHON IS HELD BY COMMISSIONER

In the U. s. commissioners court yesterday morning the hearing in the Vachon case over the attempted shipment of alleged contraband furs, both sides finished testimony and Commissioner Heilig held the defen- dant, Peter Vachon, for trial by the district court of this division. The alleged offense being classed as misdemeanor, it is possible that it will be tried here next fall if there is a term of court, as it is said to be unnecessary to await action by grand jury.
 The conclusion of the hearing came quickly. Only two witnesses were called by the defense, Deputy IT. s. Marshal Hagen and Warden Foster These were on the stand but short time and the case was wound up by noon yesterday.
 Commissioner Heilig fixed the bond at S3,00O and MT. Vachon was given until Monday to secure it, being re- leased on his own recognizance until that time. He will have no difficulty in securing the bondsmen.
