ENTERTAINED AT DOUGLAS

The citizens of Douglas both en- tertained and were entertained last evening when several distinguished visitors among whom was Delegate Dan Sutherland, came over to the Island for visit The other guests included Territorial Secretary Karl Theile, and Representatives R. D. Decker, Nome, and E. M. Keys. Fair banks, all of whom came over in re- sponse ito an invitation from the Douglas Island Women's Club
 Approximately 150 people complete. ly filled the Congregational Church to greet the visitors and hear them speak. And they were treated to the opportunity of hearing about the earliest history of the Territory when Delegate Sutherland chose for his subject "The Predecessor of the Sour dough"
 Mir. Sutherland went as far back as 1740,l when the first ships from Russia set out from St. Petersburg to discover what land might lay to the East, in his theme; how the dis covery of the magnificent fur supply of this Nothland led to the first col. onization of America by the Russians in 17S4. Ha told of the coming of slrch men as Captain Cook. Prbiloff and Alexander Baranoff: of the es- taD1isnfnent of the first trading posts by tho Russians and later by the English until 1867 when the Ameri- can flag was raised at Sitka. Suth- erland then pointed out how the dis covery of gold had brought people from, all over the country just as the discovery of fur had brought the Russians in the beginning. He also referred to the probability of Alaska becoming state in the future, re- ferring to Federal restrictions of for ests and public lands in Alaska as compared to the control of same in Porno Rico, Hawaii and Philippines; he pointed out that in proportion to the greater Federal jurisdiction here were we that much nearer to the Union than the others mentioned The Delegate briefly alluded to the question of the fisheries of Alaska laying emphasis upon the point that the sacred right to the fisheries be- longed to all the people and not to any single or group of individuals.
 Talk by Theie
 Secretary of Territory Karl Theile in his talk, spoke of the sourdough of Alaska, sour in the first part of the name only, true at heart, hoping for better days-always ready to share his last cent or slice of bacon with his neighbor; that's the kind of man the real sourdough is, said Mir. Theile. He proclaimed his pride in the fact that he was part of this great Territory and closed with the expression God speed the day when Alaska will add another star to the Armament of the Stars and Stripes" Representative Decker when called

with what it will be in the future We know" he remarks gravely, 'that the British fleet, no matter how preponderant on the sea. can not save our homes from the power that strikes swiftly from the sky. We ought to ask ourselves whether we can be defended against this new power, as formerly we kept our shores inviolable. Could the people from the air, and the constant fear of it? Here may be our most vul- nerable point; and at it an enemy would strike first, hoping at small cost to himself to weaken our re- solve and paralyze our mind and arm.
 Peace Vs. War.
 There is no imminent danger of war, but no man can be sure of peace even five years ahead. Before 1914 we were content with our small army. knowing that, at the worst, we should have time to cre- ate new armies. That assurance has
  time, for within a few hours of the rupture of peace our homes, work shops, transport and munition fac- tories would be attacked.
 True, at the moment, there is only one power that could strike at us through the air, and that power is France, happily our. ally. But who can say what changes In the distribution of air power and in friendships may not occur within the next few years?"
