seem to believe that through new in ventions the forces of evil will de- stroy themselves. It is possible that marvellous inventions and discoveries in the realm of chemicals will be demonstrated in way that will end armed conflict almost as it is begun. Surprising gases and projectiles are foretold.
 Water will cause much discussion in the coming year. There will be too much in some places and too lit tie in others. Since Ethiopia is a dry land invading armies will suffer severely from thirst, despite all pre- cautions.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of some worry and perplexity Financial matters should be satisfactory, but peril is seen in lofty friendships between men and women.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be daring in nature, bril- liant and self willed. Subjects of this sign usually are independent and dif- ficult to manage.

AMBASSADOR" REX BEACH.

Last August s1, Rex Beach famous author, former Alaskan and still staunch friend of the Territory, described in The Empire his plan for an aerial reconnaissance in Alaska with the aim of developing it's mineral resources through the of army and navy air forces and in cooperation with the Ma tional Youth Administration movement. At that time he said
 Although it is to be presumed that neither
 the Army the Navy will care much for
 the proposal, I believe it can be sold to them
 on the grounds of it's sociological and
 economic importance Both branches of the
 service have always been ready to discharge
 any duty and lend any aid in matters of
 emereency, and here indeed is a social and
 economic emergency the solution of which is
 of supreme importance to the continent
 But he didn't let it rest at that as so many might have done Yesterday, Mir Beach appeared in Washington D C.. in support of his proposal, visiting, in company with Delegate Anthony J. Dimond. Gen Malin Craig, Army Chief of Staff Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes and Marvin Mcintyre, Presidential Secretary anG pointing out that Alaska is standing still. There should be at least 5000 searching for gold"
 Rex Beach is a true Alaskan, though he hasn't lived in the Territory for years, He was one of those who came in the gold rush days; went through the Kondike and on to Nome to make a stake and gather the material for the many excellent stYries he has written about the North. Last sum- mer he returned for an extensive visit and he saw the crying need for mineral development if the Territory is to gain it's ultimate goal. He took his plan, conceived while prowling about the North re- newng old acquaintances and visiting the scenes of the old days, before officials in the Territory while casual visits to them, and these men agreed it had merit. Many a visitor would have left it there but MT. Beach again Alaska pour- ing forth it's gold to the world just it did So sensationally in '9S so he went on to Washington with his message in behalf of the Territory. He urged there he suggested here last summer, that development of the mineral resources be carried first. by aerial mapping and stereoscopic photogra- phy, according to the technique developed in Canada and secondly, by utilizing that personnel and equip ment to transport prospecting units in and out ot mining areas and to maintain a supply service therefor
 Every Alaskan knows what such development program would toward pushing the Territory forward for it would again fill the hills witt / prospectors; every Alaskan should be aware, ane thankful, for the effort being put forth in thel behalf of Ambassador without portfolio-Re, Beach

Borah or at least so say the boys from Wisconsin, and the fiery and veteran Senator from Idaho hasn't denied it. Rather he has hinted broadly he will go along In commenting an announcement by two Wisconsin political kleages that Wisconsin going to elect a Borah-f President delegation, the Idafoan remarked T told them whatever they did along that line I would stand with them.
 It is indeed interesting that the Borah boom emanates from the La Follette-controled Republican progressive State. Young Bob La Toilette son of that famous old fire eating Bob is United States Senator from that State and Philip another son. is Governor Borah, himself avowed progressive and often at loggerheads with the conservative wing of his party, apparently is leaning as usual toward his natural bent.
 But in the bivouac of the Old Guard, where the must be silent raving and considerable gnashing of teeth for Borah must be admitted potent force in the Republican Party and the swing of young Republicanism about the country is toward the progressive ranks. What then if Borah musterS sufficient strength to do some damage at that Cleveland convention? It may mean an unknown compromise candidate, and it may mean even worse for the Republicans-Borah, strong headed and sure of himself striking out alone an independent Republican progressive even as the famous Teddy Roosevelt of Bull Moose days. That is not pretty picture for the Old Guard For united, in face of their previous questionable record in office, the Grand Old Party has only hope. Split, there could be only political oblivion especially with the Demo- crats so firmly entrenched behind their sterling and colorful leader Franklin Roosevelt

The Faithful Debtor.
CNew York Times.9


 Finland recently announced her intention to pay the installment due this month her war debt to the United States It is safe to say that the Treasury expects no other payment Interest is due semi annually on these obligations In June Of last year. again in December and again last June, Fin land was the only nation to pay anything whatever Meantime nearly a billion dollars has accumulated in arrears without any evidence that the larger debtors contemplate an early resumption of their payments Priding himself his balanced budget, the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, MT Cham berlain made no provision in that budget for a war-debt payment and reference to the question in his budget statement The French Senator who negotiated his country's agreement with us, M Berenger thinks that all of the debts-Finands ex- cepted-~have fallen into catalepsy more profound than death and the miracle that would resusctate them is not in sight"
 It is difficult to take cynical a view of the matter No doubt the debt agreements in their present form are done with There is unlikely to be any further attempt to transfer across interna- tional exchange the enormous sums called for in those contracts But a settlement at com paratively low figure will probably be made in the long run for it is important to England and France and the other debtor nations to avoid the stigma of default, and-on side-the day will probably come when the American taxpayer will regard even small cash settlement windfall
 Unfortunately it true that our debtors hired the money" and could pay it back. What we loaned them not money but cereals shells, cannon, plate, uniforms, tobacco and guncotton. Only in terms of these or other goods could they repay what we had loaned them. But their goods we did not want in the postwar years since they competed" with our own and by means of our tariffs we excluded them. It was primarily this fact that wrecked payments on the scale called for in the postwar agreements.

Horoscope "The stars Zicline
 but do not cOmpeP'
SUNDAY, DECEMBER g, 1885

AS the Sun today enters the sign of Capricorn for the winter quarter it is in strong aspect to the planet Uranus and cojoined with Mercury. Astrologers read this horoscope as most encouraging. Financial matters are to be less uncertain and there will be many political truces in the new year.
 Many changes are presaged in the financial world with sweeping re- forms that insure stability in the money markets. Great Britain is to be even more fortunate than the United States, but they will pull to- gether in many world issues.
 Germany's financial condition is to be a matter of international con- cern, it is prognosticated. Saturn will bring great privations to the Ger man people and Chancellor Hitler will meet supreme difficulties.
 Women are subject to the most fortunate planetary influences today. It should bring them much love and happiness. The stars smile upon do- mestic centers. The home is under happy stars.
 This is a lucky wedding day and is also suspicious for pledging troth for future marriage. Men will be ex- .ceedingly susceptible and serious in their associations with women.
 It is a fortunate time for starting on journeys. Many house parties this weekend will be memorable because of, romance. Short trips on the water should be exceedingly pleasant.
 Men engaged in important affairs are well directed by the stars today, It is a promising date for those who meet them socially. New enterprises are to be many in 1886 when college men and women will profit greatly.
 Grhe winter is to be severe in many parts of the United States. Christ mas gifts of furs or heavy wraps are recommended by the seers.
 
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of pleasant friendships and the young may ex- pect many suitors. Money is to be plentiful.
 Children born on this day probably will be artistic in talent and inclined to make the most of all opportunities for pleasure as well as for work. They may be inclined to take chances.
 Deems Taylor, American composer, was born on this day 1885. Others who have celebrated it as birthday include Thomas Wentworth Higgin- son, writer, 1923; Frank B. Kellogg, statesman, 1856.

MONDAY. pECEMBER g, 1gs5


 According to astrology this is day of contrary planetary influences in which adverse aspects are strong. Again the seers counsel businessmen and others to finish whatever is well begun, but to avoid initiating new ventures.
 There is a promising sign for men in authority. The President of the United States as well as governors and mayors should benefit under this planetary government which encour- ages friendly thoughts.
 Saturn continues to encourage la Dor organizations which will make strong demands in the new year. The stars indicate that this is the time in which the old order and the new will clash in supreme effort to attain justice.
 Again the seers remind aged per- sons that this is the era of young men and women. Counsel may be sought but the old will lose their in- fluence, it is prophesied. This applies to men and women who hold high place in business and political affairs Letters are subject to the best pos }sible sway on this date when time and space are bridged by loving memories. Love missives are subject to less fortunate influences than those of friendship.
 AS Uranus and Neptune, through 1886 are with stars read as presag- ing destruction and war, the seers
