Wrangell Has Suitable Landing
 Place for Airplanes

Twenty-six citizens of Wran- gell responded to the call for a public meeting Saturday night for the purpose of taking action on a communication received from the War department inquiring if there is a suitable landing place here for airplanes. The only field considered was the unoccupied stretch of ground back of town. It was proposed that a committee be appointed to measure off 600 square yards in order to be cer- tain that an open space that large is available. The mayor called for volunteers and the following gentlemen responded: Thomas Dalgity, Alex Veartt, G. w. Up- shaw, Ole Johnson, J. G. Grant, J. E. Worden, Arnt Sorset, Jess Neville, J. w. Pritchett.
 On Sunday afternoon the above committee went over the ground back of town and measured off a field 600 yards square with room to spare on three sides.
 Messrs. Worden and Veartt took several pictures of the field. It will probably be a revelation to the War department to get pie lures taken in Alaska on the 18th day. of February with the ground as free from snow as if the pie lures had been taken in August.
 Some climatological data which will be obtained from MT. Ed Grigwire, the local U. s. weather observer, may also be quite diff ferent from what the War de- partment is expecting from Alas ka.
 There will be another meeting at the town hall tonight for the purpose of obtaining further ne- cessary data and formulating a report on the matter.

Competent Report
 On Critical Situation

We are living, as it were, under a,veiled threat. No one knows just where the threat comes from, why we are threatened, or what it's all about.
 If a firm of engineers were called upon to build a railroad across apiece of difficult, unknown territory, the first thing they would do would be to send a con- petent engineer to spy out the country, and report actual condi- tions and obstacles. Upon this report the contractors would in- telligently plan and build the road. The pioneer would consti- tute the eyes of the firm. Every heart-breaking, wearisome mile, and every level piece of fair-going would be before them. And the task would grow not only less, but interesting, as the plans were studied.
 The United States is not going to build such a railroad. It is go- ing to build a world. It must be built, and there is no one but Uncle Sam to do it. The task is not at all impossible. Nor is it unattractive. It is only misunder- stood.
 Frank Comerford in his articles Problems Facing a Stricken World" has rendered such a re- port of the underlying conditions under which we are to assume the task that the engineers will pro- eeed with the work.
 The first installment of this epochal series is published in this issue.

Washington's Birthday Service
St. Philips Church

Feb. P, 7:3Op. m. Washing ton was a churchman. In St. Paul's Church, New York City, there is a pew kept as it was in colonial days, which George Washington occupied when the National capitol was located in New York City. Most of the real founders of our country were churchmen. The Constitution of the United States and most of the body of laws known as the can ons of the Protestant Episcopal Church were written by the same company of men. It is specially fitting, therefore, for the Church to remember these leaders. The theme of the address will be-: Washington, the Typical Leader of Men," Come.
