TOO MUCH WOOL IN THE WORLD

One of the most serious problems just now is what to do with the enor- mous quantity of wool which has been accommodating since the beginning of the World war. When the war be- gan, Great Britain, in order to insure a continuous supply sufficient to meet all of her military demands, made an agreement to take over the clips of Australia and New Zealand at a price which would guarantee profit to the growers. These clips thus being talk en out of the market naturally ln- creased the price of wool elsewhere, their remaining supply being furn- ished largely by the United States and Argentine. After the United States entered the war wool produc- tion was still further stimulated. At the same time the production of wool WAS stimulated very foolish policy

THINGS WE THINK
Things Others Think and What We Think of the Things Others Think.

Might may make right-but it just as often makes fight.
 Happiness is everywhere except where you hunt for it.
 Doing nothing at the right time is somewhat of an accomplishment
 You're a sucker if you bite on all the fish stories that are being told.
 A beautiful thought for today: Age at best comes on apace. Falling due, It comes a-gallOp.
 It doesn't matter what people say about you, but it matters what you say about yourself.
 Women are strange creatures, of course, and you can make them stranger by telling them they are.
 You cannot listen ten seconds to the chatter of a group of high school girls without hearing the world The"
 Don't lie awake night listening for Opportunity to knock - get a good sleep and then go out and hunt it up.
 Don't talk so much about your an- cestors, but try to so act and do that your grandchildren will be proud of theirs.
 If spoiled children were made by spared rods, there would only be spoiled children in this modern world.
 Age has it's recompense no less than that of youth, and Heaven no doubt is a more desirable abode than earth. but who hastens to attain either?
 You don't want to know what peo- pie really think of you. You know what you think of other people would only make them feel badly.
 Many people escape being criminals by never being tempted. As an ex- ample, you never yet heard of a news- paper man getting pinched for "sweat- ing" $2O gold pieces.
 Do not encourage anyone, whether it be child at school or a man in an office, in the disobedience of his su- perior, for when you do you strike a blow at the success of the school or business life.
 Ever recall the days of bovbood when you ate hulled corn steaming hot from the kettle and wanted more. It took three boilings in I've water, and that is too much work in these days of electrical swiftness; but fine men were grown on that kind of food.

VOICE OF ALASKA PRESS

This issue we are giving the dates each telegram left the sending point instead of the day it was received, because the cable is still down and may be down for another month and sometimes the story doesn't reach us until a week after it left the other end, so you wouldn't remember what day of the month it was that the hap pening occurred.
 The Burnside fixed one of the cables to Valdez, and then went on to Sitka to make repairs on the cable there. No sooner had the Burnside turned it's back on Valdez than the cable funked again, and will stay that way until the Sitka cable is repaired.
 In the meantime here, dog comes out and barks. - Fairbanks News Miner.

POISON GAS AND PREPAREDNESS

Use of poisin gas in war has made preparedness more imperative than ever. Assuming that its use is not forbidden or cannot be effectively prevented, the nation which made the first attack with the largest supply of the deadliest gas would be likely to win the war, almost in the first bat tie, while the nation which was ill pre- pared or unprepared with either gas or protective devices might not even have chance to fight.
 The degree of success the Germans had was due to their having the ini- tfative and a large supply of gas. It was limited by the fact that the al lies had chemical laboratories which quickly discovered the nature of the gas used by the Germans at the sec ond battle of Ypres and as quickly designed a protective mask. After the allies finally retaliated in kind, the gas, new ways of using it and new protective devices, each party by turns having the advantage As events worked out, the Germans prac- tically wasted their original initiative by using it without decisive result, though they seemed to have good req son to believe that the attack at Ypres would clear the way to Calais But if they had reserved this surprise for their great drive in March, 1918, they might have opened a wide gap in the allied line through which they could have swept resistIess to the channel before the American army could have made its presence felt or the allies could have made gas to re- taliate or masks to protect their sol aiers.
 Though the League of Nations will be strongly inclined to include in it's disarmament plan the total prohibit ion of poison gas, they may find this unsafe. It might prove practicable to provide apparatus and material which a laWless nation could sudden ly apply to production of large quan- titles of deadly gas immediately on attacking neighbor, while strict ob- servance of the leagues rules might leave all nations defenseless. In fact the great danger of and obstacle to disarmament is that by leading all well disposed nations to disarm, it would enable an i'll disposed nation, which secretly violated it's obligation to disarm, to get "the jump on them"
 This consideration should be kept in mind by congress when it legis- lates for the preservation of essential industries. Manufacture of chemicals in this country has become necessary to it's defense, and it should be kept alive on a great scale with the pr0yi- sion for sudden expansion. Though it may not be practicable to keep large stock of gas on hand, chemical manufacturers should be prepared to make it in great volume on days notice. Not till it's abandonment in war by all nations is absolutely se- cured could this or any other nation safely renounce such precautions.
