FACTS ABOUT SEWARD

Seward is situated on Resurrection Bay, midway ot the coast line of the Gulf of Alaska and lou mes lfo route of the Pacific steamers to the Orient.
 The various trade routes of the North Pacific Ocean and all the roads and highways and trails and mountain rasses from the interior converge at this point much as nature had anticipated the need of gateway through which the trade and travel of great region might ina convenient passage.
 The deep, perfectly protected harbor presents an ob long surface embracing forty square miles, upon which any ship that floats may sail in safety at any te ana which in appearance suggests nothing much as beauti- full inland lake.
 The mainland and shores of Resurrection supply am pie space and perfect topography for the building ot city of whatever extent future needs may develOp and this cl custance added to its natural position gateway to the interior and the freedom from ice at all seasons of the harbor and adjacent waters lead the to select this port as the terminal for the railroad The u. limited coal and oil and mineral resources of Alaska will flow through this port to enter the commerce Of the world and in return will the supplies for distribution over territory greater in extent than many state combined, thus making it the great port of the North Pacific or the NEW YORK OF ALASKA.

The French Point of View

Charlton Bates Strayer, in Leslss.
 D It is only fair to France to say that she is looking for safety. She has suf- fered more than any other of the great or powers on either side of the conflict. She has been bled white. Her richest Industrial regions have been ruthlessly and scientifically destroyed. For four decades France lived with the Teuton menace at her very doors. and in the summer of 1914 tho storm burst upon her from clear sky. The enemy that rav- ished her has been beaten, but has not acknowledged defeat. nor expressed tnc slightest regrte,for her awful crimes. The armistice signed over three months ago has not been lived up to by the enemy nor have the terms of the treaty of peace been agreed upon by the victors. The Hohenzollerns have been overthrown, new government has been estaolished' but there is no eyidnce that Grmany has been cured of militarism or that the old spirit may not flare up 1T II gets the slightest opening. Clemenceau eA- pressed this when he said: while nave said that the war has been won. It would
 perhaps be more accurate to say that
 there is a lull in the storm.

most every boy came to camp fire and talked, having a good time, but those that stayed in bed could hardly go to sleep
 About 3 or o'clock Doc told all the boys to go to bed, but some of them stayed up anyway. Doc did not bring a blanket over with him, so he had noth- ing to sleep under but a coat. He was cold of course, so he moved down close to the fire and later on he found he had no soles on his shoes, but we must bear in mind that a scout is cheerful.
 At o'clock Saturday morning the boys all got up and cooked breakfast and some of them had hot dogs" and all that stuff to put on them. When one Of the boys asked Doc how he wanted it and he said. "I will take it all the way, but be sure and don't put any onions on it." When he received it, he said, this is regular Hardin but this was wrong, as it was Bromberg and Mason, because they made it. We packed all our stuff and started for home, and as we got al

 Charles Allison became a full-fledged' second class scout last week and is al ready getting busy on first-class work. How about some more of you joining him?
 Troop 10-Last week was some week for Troop 10. They brought in over 930 points from hiking, war work, and tests. They hiked from Gate City to Mineral Springs, from there to Irondale. from there to Grants Mill, where they had dinner After dinner a brief meeting was held, after which a programme was held consisting of two lectures, one on Phila- delphia, Pa, by Scout Francis Grimstead, the other on New York city by Scout Julian Marty. After the meeting they played games for about an hour and then they started for home, walking all the way to the courthouse by the Bankhead highway.

WASHINGTON. March ST. EN-

foundation for the statement that Hog

declared it was a physical impossi-

Milwaukee to Decide
Red Control of Schools
Special Correspondence

Special Correspondence
MILWAUKEE,, March 31.-The wo-
men of Milwaukee will decide at the
school board election tomorrow
whether the Socialists will control the
schools for years to come. And on the
women's vote the campaign which end
ed tonight is being waged. The SO
cialists are certain to have out their
complete voting strength, and it will be
heavy. Meanwhile the Good Govern
ment League, and the other anti-social-
istic organizations are working to get
out the women who are opposed to So
calism.
The women are allowed to vote only
in the school election and not in the
judicial election. In the latter, the
issue is whether the party of the red"
flag will control the courts. Back of
the opposition to one candidate is an
array of convicted auto speeders, who
have been heavily punished. Back of
another is the bitterness of the social
lists because he severely sentenced an
archists arrested after eleven detectives
were killed in bomb explosion in
police headquarters.
The school problem, however, is the
most important, and at the final rally
of the socialists the charge was openly
made by "red" flag speakers that the
textbooks are all wrong in the pres
ent teachings of history. Victor Ber-
gers wife is accused of reproving,
while acting as school director, a
teacher who taught too much patriot
ism in American history. A socialist
victory will give the reds" the school
superintendent, power to name teach
ers and textbooks and courses, and
they are pledged to reestablish German
in the lower grades.
