The beautiful arias, duets and trios

singers. The lack Of stage detail and
large orchestra to bring out the full

tical requirements of the vocation in which they are engaged. The courses vary in length from one to four years, with an average length of two years. It is erroneous to suppose that many of the men suffering from loss of limbs. Statistics compiled by the Veterans ; Bureau show that less than two percent of the men in training have suffered amputations The rest have received disabilities such as sharpnel gun-shot wounds and other dis abilities to which the civilian population is or dinarilv subject, such as heart trouble, bron- chial diseases, and minor troubles The men, moreover are given courses of training in which their disabilities will not be handicap or interfere in any way. Those suffering from tuberculosis do not even start their training until the disease Is arrested or inactive. In the majority of cases the disabilities are not noticeable and in way prevent the students from carrying on and competing with civilian workers on equal basis.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER g, 1922
1923 SHOULD BE ALASKA YEAR

Next year should be Alaska Year-a year witnessing the real opening up of the Terri tory to settlement and development, says the Seattle Times. Reports from the North are favorable. Placer mining is being resumed. Prospecting again has been started on a big scale The Alaska Railroad has cut costs so that properties previously unprofitabe can be worked either by pan and shovel or by hydraulics. There has not been appreclable ln- crease in mm gration or in capital investment this year. There will be appreciable increases in both these respects next year if the proper fight is made for the Territory. Conditions are peculiarly favorable to a campaign m its interest at this time. The administration at Washington is sincerely, constructively de- sirous of promoting the development and set tlement of ''the last American West' The country's attention is being turned from inter national to domestic affairs American cap- tai is seeking investment and, naturally, pre- fers to invest under the Stars and Stripes where possible. Any movement of this kind might very we'll take the form of national pub licitv, putting questions that would excite dis cussion of Alaska affairs and encouraging in qury as to the reason why the country has not developed more rapidly This discussion and inquiry inevitably must pave the way for con- structive action. The Times would like to see such drive started. Success for 1t would ben eft the Territory and would assure to this city trade increase greater than it could hope to obtain through any other business develop ment it might encourage.
 Alaska heartily concurs in the Times cheer ful prOgnostications-nO without noting, however, that the Seattle interest in the Ter ritorv is not wholly altruistic. The Times does not fail to observe in the same strain that any movement for the advertisement of Alaska must originate in Seattle, since that city would inevitably be the one to profit most from the result. This is probably only natural and hu- man, and to just the extent to which it Is in- terested the Seattle spirit is appreciated by Alaskans Far be it from us to hestitate to avail ourseveles of any assistance selfish or otherwise, which Seattle may extend to us. We, too, being human, are selfish. At the same time, Seatte's concern for the welfare of AL aska would be considerably more convincing but for past history and present confession Of the ulteror motive in it. At any rate, we agree with our contemporary in the South that 1923 .'Should Be Alaska Year" So should all other years.

BRITAIN PROFITS HEAVILY

Great Britain is prospering over America s twin strikes John Bull $ entire industrial situ- ation being favorably affected.
 Fngland's coal mines have all reopened and business is booming as a result of orders of large quantities of coal.
 The Welsh coal mines, which had been idle for a long time, are beginning to operate to full capacity. Tens of thousands of men have secured work, the textile and iron industries being enlivened in sympathy with the new ac- tivities in the coal fields, and, for the first time in long period, the governments rev enues are considerably more than it's expendi- lures.
 According to the commercial attache of the United States in London, Great Britain is min ing more coal than it has mined in years.
 The benefits accuring, directly or indirectly, to England from the coal strike are much larg CT than one ordinarily would think.

THE FARMERS BIT

The farmers of the country are contributing their bit toward the restoration of normalcy. The farmer has never been a shirker and he has never gone on strike. If the farmers were to strike we would surely be in a bad way. They enjoy no eight hour day, they get no extra pay for overtime and there are no rules and regulations pertaining to the condi- tions udner which they labor.

IMMIGRATION AMENDMENT

Amendment of the immigration laws is scheduled for Congressional attention as soon as more pressing legislation has been dis posed of There will be no letup in the re strictons that are keeping immigration at a minimum, but an attempt will probably be made to find a more efficient method of sort
 ing undesirables from the horde of aliens who seek admission to this country. In line with the policy of the government to bar all indi- viduals not easily assimiable, the State De- partment has asked Cuba to cooperate in keep ing smuggling at minimum. It is understood that 30,000 Chinese and 10000 Europeans are
 in Cuba waiting for an opportunity to enter this country.

VETERAN REHABILITATION

The tremendous work the government is doing in rehablitatng disabled soldiers of the World War is little understood or apprec
 lated by the public at large. At the present time there are over 130OO0 students receiving instruction in 3,228 schools and colleges throughout the country as well as in business establishments shops and on farms. Every one of them has been found by medical authori- ties to be disabled either bodily or mentally in the service of the United States. Ninety per cent of them are enlisted men, representing every creed, nationality, and race, and half of them have at least one person dependent upon them; some with as many as seven de- pendents. The graduates of the government $ schools are not permitted to terminate their training until they have proved themselves skilled workmen and able to meet the prac-

 Hello, Smith," he said cheerfully mot going home yet?" "No," muttered the despairing one, I-I daren't."
 "Why, what's the matter?"
 Matter? It's the end of every. thing. It means ruin, grief and spoiled life"
 The friend looked frightened. Here, Smith, tell me what's the trou. ble Perhaps I can help you"
 Smith clenched his fists the knckles showed white.
 No one can help me-" he cried in agony. 'I have come to the end of all things. At o'clock I telephoned my wife and gave her a perfectly good ex- cuse for not coming straight home, and"-his voice sank to whisper i've forgotten what I sad.'
