SQUEELERS

It takes all kinds and condjt ions of people to make up world and Nature sometimes plays que CT pranks in putting some of us on this terrestrial sphere. Presu mably it is for some good purp oSe too obscure for our simple minds to fathOm. Even the creep ing and crawling things, we are told, serve their purpose in the great scheme of things, and we are willing to take this for grant ed. But just what useful part a SQUEELER plays is one of those things with which our mind fails to cope.
 We always had a grudging dulU1l dIlOIl 1OI Ullc average OllcII der against society who will grin and take his medicine without whining. But when a man goes the limit in riotOus living; accep ts the bounty of his friends; pla ys the fool with his eyes wide open; and when forced to an acc bunting says So and so helped me-; he is indeed low in the scale of life. There is no idea of mitjg ating his own offense but merely the desire to drag someone else into his own miserable plight. If, when a man stands on the brink of Eternity peering over the Gre

Alaska will lose an excellent printer and a fine citizen when Mr. Bernard departs. For sometime he was man. ager of the commercial printing de- partment and mechanical superintend- ent of the Empire Printing Company, and never was better services render ed in those capacities than he gave this company. MT. Bernard will take with him when he leaves for the South the best wishes of hosts of Alaskans.
 In an editorial signed by Mir. Nor rissey, editor of the Chronicle and for six years it's joint owner with Mir. Ber- nard, the Chronicle says:
 By deal consumated yesterday, R. L. Bernard disposed of his interest in the Chronicle, thereby giving a pre- ponderent majority of the stock of the corporation to the undersigned.
 For six years we have been equal holders of stock, having between us
Seward daily gateway., 1925-10-27

all but two shares. Starting with nothing we have built an institution of some size, so that naturally there are many regrets at the parting of the ways. MT. Bernard, during the years has done his full share and more than his share in the building. It was the Call of the South, an opportunity there which induced him to offer to dispose of his interests in the Chronicle. He is going south in the near future to look into that opportunity and if it looks all that it now appears from the distance, he will go into business in one of the cities of the coast.
 Wherever he goes, goes a master in his line, man who will fit into any printing business in the world. That he will meet with success there is no doubt, and in his departure we wish him Godspeed and good luck

TODAY-NAVY DAY
By w. A. TATTERSALL

The United States Navy is built and owned by the American people. The officer and enlisted personnel are it's custodians charged with eff ficiency maintaining the nations first line of defense ready for immediate use. This is the fourth year that the Navy Department in cooperation with the Navy League and other Patriotic organizations has set aside the 27th of October to be known as Navy Day On this day the personnel of the navy is directed to exhibit and explain the navy to it's owners and to give an account of our steward ship.
 It is highly appropriate that the day chosen should be the birthday of one of Americas most distin- guished sons, Theodore Roosevelt. For although our late chief was not the father of the modern navy he was certainly it's big brother and to him more than any other one man our country is indebted for making us one of the foremost naval powers of the world.
 Up here at the most northerly sta ton of our Navy we have not a great deal to exhibit but cannot al- low the day to pass without brief resume of the history of our serv- ice perhaps to serve as reminder that the country has found it's navy useful in the past and, in spite of the contentious of some, are likely to find it so again.
 We believe that we can claim with out being immodest, that there is no more important Department under the government than the navy. But no government department has had such a struggle for maintenance and even for it's very existence against lack of funds, popular indifference, and the open attack of pacificists as this right arm of the nation. This is diff fcult to understand when it is known that the navy is essentially de- fensive organization, and its very nature prevents it being employed by "Junkers" as an agent of con- quest or oppression.
 This service came into existence in 1776 shortly after the Declaration of Independence" The record of our dozen or so converted Merchant men of a few hundred tons manned by merchant officers ad crews dur ing the Revolution is known to ev- cry school boy to be one of glorious achievement.
 After the close of the Revolution the Navy, as such, ceased to exist. Through lack of funds and lack of interest it seems to have died a nat ural death without a struggle. For tunately for the country the naval spirit did not die. And in 1798 when our relations with France were strain ing toward the breaking point a per menent navy, although lilly provided for with funds and poorly equipped as to ships, was organized.
 The part played by this young service in the War of 1872 cannot be over-estimated. A handful of ships and handful of men pitted against the foremost Maritime power of the world undoubtedly saved our country from being re-conquored by England who seemed to consider us an obstreperous offspring only need ing a chastising to make us return and drink tea out of her hand, so to speak.
 During that war two or three of our vessels pitted against fearful
Seward daily gateway., 1925-10-27

odds were compelled to lstrike their flags after most of their crews were killed or wounded and the ships were all but sunk. It is an interest ing fact that since that war and for one hundred and ten years no Unit ed States combat vessel has ever surrendered to a foreign power. Has the navy of any other nation such record?
 The foreign student of our history is no doubt amazed that after prov ing it's worth so thoroughly our navy should have been allowed to enter a period of decline and dwindle to almost nothing. But such was the case. The outbreak of the Civil War found us without an adequate navy to seize the seaports and control the nayigable rivers of the South who possessed no navy.
 It was necessary to build a navy for that war and outside of block ading no extensive naval opera tions were conducted against the South un- til 1863 The close O. the Civil War found us with probably the strongest navy in the world We not only had the ships but what is more import ant we had a trained veteran person nel who had smelled burning powder.
 The dawn of the year 1880 saw our navy again al almost absolute zero. The ships accumulated during the civil war had been sold or were useless because there was no money appropriated for their repair and up keep. Such ships as were fit to so to sea were propelled by sails most ly, for reasons of economy. There was little inducement for officers or men to make the navy a career. The pay was low and promotion slow. An officer getting promoted once in fifteen years was lucky. The United States presented the spectacle of a country or sixty million people with seven thousand miles of coast line and a navy inferior to all the Euro pean powers who made any naval pretensions and to several South American countries.
 This state of affairs was caused by people who knew nothing and cared nothing about a navy. And luckily with England busy in India and Africa, Germany busy consoli- dating and France recovering from and paying for fearful drubbig in the Seventies we had no immediate need for strong fleet.
 In the late Eighties and early Nine ties naval revival was commenced. Congress voted money for new ships and equipment and for navy yards to accommodate them. The versa tile pen and great influence of the young Theodore Roosevelt greatly influenced this legislation. Later as Assistnnt Secretary of the Navy and still later as President and Comman- der-in-Chief this far-sighted Patriotic American Statesman placed the navy on a permanent progressive footing as to material and personnel ad laid the foundation for a steady growth that has continued to this day in spite of pioneering disasters on the sea, under the sea and in the air
 It is not generally known that when the navy goes ito battle with
Seward daily gateway., 1925-10-27

the National Flag flying from every mast that no provision is made for escape in case of disaster All hatch es are battened down. Every turret and gun compartment is closed off behind armored doors, therefore is a fort unto itself. The engine and firerooms escapes closed. All boats and other wooden gear that would float are thrown overheard. The guns must fire as long as there is man alive to fire them. If the ship sinks the Captain goes down with the con- ming tower, the gunners beside their guns, the engineer at the throttle, the fireman at his boiler, the surgeon beside his operating table, and the radioman with his headset on.
 Cutting off avenues of escape is not suicidal procedure. It is a measure that make for battle eff ciency and the Sailor is taught nev CT to think in terms of failure. The word surrender is not in his lexicon. To die may be part of the days work but to be beaten in war or love is unthinkable.
 The navy should be of especial in terest to Alaskans. Proponents of separate department of Aeronautics stress the fact that ill case of war with a Pacific power the attack would be made by way of Alaska. defense. Unquestionable this terri tory with it's vast natural resources would be a prize of inestimable val ue to an enemy who has no coal, copper nor timber.
 Judging by Germany's performances operating under great difficulties from 1914-191S one can easily conclude that a fleet of submarines operating out of Seward or Cordova could strew the Gulf of Alaska with the wrecks of an invaders troopship and your beaches with the bodies of his troops.
 The only permanent naval activi- ty in the territory as yet is the chain of radio stations along the southeastern and southwestern coast The primary purpose of these sta tions is military. But our second ary purpose is to serve you in any manner possible. That we have been of some service is evidenced by the vast amount of traffic handled by the Cordova, Sitka and Seward sta- tions between May and October of this year. During the Cable inter ruption of 1924 Cordova alone han dled 6,61e 431 words in ten months which is equivalent of fifteen word message each minute. every twenty four hours. It has been pleasure to render this service. This is SERVICE because due to operating from military standpont our budget does not balance The volume of traffic is too low to show a profit for twentyfour hour operation. The Ma val Communicatio Service does not retain funds received for services performed. The money is turned into the treasury for reappropriation by congress. Therefore the Naval Communication Service is not a total spender but partially pays it's way.
 In conclusion on this Navy Day and Natal Day of our dead past Commander-in-Chie We pledge anew our faith to the American people. The times change. So do people, arms, amusements and ships. But the spirit of the navy is the same that it has been from birth. The spirits of Jones, Barry, Decatur, Per- ry, Farragut, Rowan, Dewey, Roose- welt, Ingraham and ten thousand oth- CT heroes for whose names history has not space, go marching on.
