THE MARKINGS OF WAR, BUT NO
 WAR.
WAR.
(New York Times)

Many of the classic excuses or causes for war have been present i'll Europe ever since the assassination of King Alexander. Of that the later rumors of war have been dir ect result. A natural fear was that hostiiities might come at about as long an interval afterward as was the case with the murder of the Austrian Archduke in 1914. Nearly all the elements that go to make a war were visible. There was in- tense international jealousy. There was the military prompting to strike quickly before an opponent might rally his strength. Above all there was hurt national pride. For many years all the efforts to re- strain war-nlakers, and prevent war, made an exception in proposed treaties of peace of questions of ma tional honor" They had risen in both Yugoslavia and Hungary. Ar btration or adjustment were held to be improbable. If this state of things had existed thirty or forty years ago, nearly everybody would have predicted a warlike outbreak. This time it did not occur. People are wondering why.
 Doubtless the whole story cannot now be told, but some things are clear. French and British diplomacy were visibly active. It is not prob able that their governments took steps to force a peace" in the Bal kans, as the phrase is, but they must have strongly urged the folly, as well as the danger, of going to war over such quarrel as that which flared up between Yugoslavia and Hungary. Both Italy and the Little Entente seem to have striven hard for the same ends, though each of them took it's own line and made it plain they did not wish to be re- garded as subordinated to Franco British policy. There was also the League of Nations, ready with good offices and skilled in proposing a peaceful and honorable settlement of the difficulty. This now said to have been accepted by Yugoslavia and Hungary, so that the fear of war is rapidly passing away.
 It is doubtful if the correct and friendly representations of the out side Powers, including the League of Nations, would have succeeded ill sweeping away the war clouds had not another influence prevailed nightly. There is something above and beyond organized governments or agencies of peace, and it is more powerful than they. It is the con- siderate Judgement of mankind. It is, public opinion, which Lord Bryce said was the real ruler of the United States, and which now appears to be stronger in all Europe than ever be- fore. Statesmen have not been left iu- ignorance of it. Reaptedly, and

 ALASKA GAME COMMISSION
 Annual session of Commission ii terminated.
 Juneau-The tenth annual regular session of the Commission, which convened at it's Executive Office in the Federal and Territorial Building on December II, concluded its eleven da session and adjourned last Friday.
 Recommended changes in game, 44r and other regulations when approved by the Secretary of Agriculture, will become effective on. July 1, 1885 for the ensuing fiscal year. These changes will be announced in detail m Game Law Circular No. T.,
 which will be published early nea-c
 spring and distributed throughout
 ihe Territory.
 The Commission heartily endorses
 the proposal of several Chambers of
 Commerce, asking the Legislature to to increase the bounty on wolves and coyotes to such a reasonable amount
 as it may determine. Reports from nearly every part of the Territory tell of an alarming increase in wolves with coyotes a close second
 in competition. An appeal is also being made to the Biological Survey to resume the services of trained hunters to work with local trappers ill improving methods of capturing these marauders. ; In it's study regarding practicabii- l ity of the introduction of many ex- otic animals and birds that have been suggested, the Commission is gathering information on the Black Game" and "Capercailizie". from Scandinavia and northern Russia. These birds are species of grouse weighing as much as four to ten pounds respectively and are believed to be of 3 type that might adapt themselves to Alaskan conditions. If obainable, and when funds become available, it is proposed to place the first of these huge grouse on Kenai Peninsula where climatic conditions are believed to be best for the ex- pertinent.
 Transplanted to Kodiak and Af- ognak Islands last winter as a part of the federal CWA project admin istered by the Commission, the snow shoe. rabbits have increased remark ably. These little animals are not only found in considerable numbers in the vicinity of where they were first liberated, but have been recent ly observed more than 20 miles distant. Classified in the Alaska Game Act
 as furbearer, the black bear has
 now, because of it's low pelt value,
 become regarded more as a game
 animal. Big. game hunters visiting
 the south coast of the Territory are
 seeking them as prized trophies of their hunt. Easily killed and with neither bag limit nor seasonal pro tection when it's pelt is of little value, this animal is rapidly becom- ing an asset of trophy value that threatens to surpass it's former worth as a furbearer.
 As a result of several instances # unwarranted and needless slaughtei of these practically harmless ani- malls, it is advisable to grant them soyro nrofecti0n. The Commission

EXPENSIVE PATRONAGE

IF Chairman Cochran and his committee on expen-
ditures in the executive departments gets to the
bottom of extravaganza in government departments
some congressional toes will be stepped on
Because the executive Offices of the government
are kept alive by congressional appropriations con-
gressmen are able to put their constituents on the
pay roll and keep them there even after their serv-
ices longer needed
A in point is NRA. Ever since the Schechter
decision and passage of the law last spring making
NRA mopping-up agency the executives of that
agency have been trying to get rid of employees who
can no longer be used, Yet after months of effort
to economic. NFA is still grossly overstaffed-and
with constituents of influential congressman whose
threats of reprsa harass and Illustrate what should
be an orderly rehabilitation
Investigations like the one now being started by
Rep. Cochran's committee usually head into recon-
mendations that overlapping" agencies be merged.
And when The merger is effected there is usually
such mad scramble to fix up jobs for everybody
concerned that in the end nothing has been saved
for the taxpayers.
We should like to suggest a law making it a
criminal offense for a congressman to recommend an
executive appointment. This would result in speedy
naturalization of Federal expenditures. For then
congressman would be free to devote their time to
legislation and to watching how the tax dollars are
spent.

FOR BETTER PERSONNEL

THE effort Of the National League of Women
Voters to cause men and women to look on gov
eminent service as profession and career is to be
commended
The league soon is to have week devoted to a
campaign for improved personnel An effort will be
made to arouse the people to the necessity of trained
workers instead Of job holders.
This ties IN with courses in government serv-
ices being offered in some universities Many pot-
cal scientists feel the time has when the COL
Ieges should prepare number of public career
graduates every year.
The absence of men and women trained in gov
eminent work holds off the objective of the league.
In Indiana the league is as energetic as any,
where The state Offices getting ready for an ap-
peal to all citizens. We wish them success.

INDIANA STUDENT AID

THE current monthly aid to 2697 college students
in Indiana is S40,455 of Federal money. Ma
tional Youth Administration pays each needy stu
dent not more than SIS a month"; depending on the
number Of hours he works at tasks chosen by his
college
To los candidates for advanced degrees $3.50 has
been allotted The amounts and the scope about
the same as those of the FERA which had charge
of the same assistance last year.
We have had some opportunity of studying the
effect on the students of NYA help. They do not
think of it as charity, but welcome and vital
offered to them. In the tipping, filing, reading
and other work they do for the professors in ex-
change for the money, they get valuable experience
in cooperation and accepting supervision.

WHAT is THE ANSWER?

NXTHAT is left of the old shipping board has just
w chartered eight government vessels to the
Lykes Brothers interests of Texas
These ships part of block of So sold to
Lykes Legality of the original sales contract was
questioned after 43 ships had been delivered That
question still stands but it appears now that there
is no need SO far the principals concerned,
to settle it.
Secretary of Commerce Roper has entered into an
agreement with Lykes which turns over eight of the
nine undelivered ships to this company thereby
circumventing the challenge to the original contract.
Lykes Brothers have been charged by the Post
office Department with obtaining some 80 million
dollars of ocean mail contracts illegally. Investiga
ton showed these contracts had netted enormous
profits.
Lykes Brothers have been involved in charges of
paying gratuties to Secretary Ropers steamboat in
spectors in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Lykes Brothers are reported at present trying to
break the strike of longshorenen at gulf ports by
using strike breakers.
Why, therefore, do Lykes Brothers continue to
enjoy the complete and most remunerative conf
dence of the Secretary of Commerce?

IMPORTANT RESEARCH

DUBLICTTY given by the American Medical Asso-
n citation to research in dementa praecox is i'm
portant contribution to knowledge No is pre-
dicted but the blood stream treatment is described
hopefully.
The mental ailment called dementia praecox is
among the saddest affections because recovery is
rare and doctors have not been able to find certain
remedy. When the disease finds victim, the prog
ress usually is slow so that the symptoms are not
recognized by the family There is also the barrier
of dislike for revealing mental Illness
For number of years some distinguished PSYCHE
artists have been working on the theory that, by
enriching the blood of the patient, they could i'm
prove the condition of the brain. Thus the chemical
laboratory became part of the mental hospitals
equipment.
To the layman, and especially to parents, this
research suggests that preventive of mental illness
may be care of the bodily health. Mental breakdoWns
are often preceded by physical illness too long dis
regarded 1t suggests also that mental sickness be
treated openly as any other disease and without the
sense of shame which keeps the patient away from
the doctors.

ONE POINT OF VIEW
On Saving VS.. Spending

TN many industries the life of
l. equipment runs only four or
five years. Since 1880 there has
been little capital investment in such
requirements. Even the edi-
tor OF Today is said to have stated
that there exists a potential de-
mand for replacement alone in the
amount Of 100000,
If this pentup demand can be re-
leased and made effective by the
investment of individual savings,
the greatest void in our present
economy will be filed. Workmen
by the million will be re-employed
in the very industries in which uI,-
employment Is the worst. 1t is to
the accomplishment of this task
that all recovery efforts Of the gov
eminent should be directed.
+ But common sense and every
precedent show that, If that de-
mand is to be released and financed,
the investment of additional savings
will be required. Hence it looks
painfully clear that, in our present
predicament, the investment of
dollar of savings can do more to
relieve unemployment than can
dollar of additional consumer
spending.
Thrift is still virtue. Gewis w.

SERVANTS FOR FARM HOMES

A FTER months of careful preparation, the Rural
Identification Administration has put in motion
a program which is designed eventually to carry
electricity to millions of farm homes
Twenty-year amortization loans at per cent
have been made in six states to build 1925 miles of
new rural electric distribution lines, serving 4247
farms.
That means 4247 prospective customers for
electric refrgerators, water heaters, washing ma
chimes, ranges vacuum cleaners. irons utility motors
milking machines. 1t means 4247 prospective
purchasers of electric pumps and plumbing equip
ment for running water. 1t means electric wiring for
tnst many houses and barns and sheds
It means that 4247 farm families for the first
time get chance to share in some of the con-
veniences which city families long have accepted as
necessities.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

NOV. II marks the beginning of Childrens Book
Week The event will be observed impressively
in the cities where books available to every one
and vii. go practically unnoticed in tn ecountry.
One of my pet peeves against the book publishers
and book lovers in general is that they have made
slight effort to extend literary interest by
awakening it in what is now the most fertile ground
left-the rural community
While money is in the country, certain
amount is spent each year for amusement and
pleasure. Country people drive automobiles and go
to picture shows and football games and buy pulp
magazines by the ton,
Let's look at the question from another angle
Nowadays the mother who loves books herself spends
time reading to her children. She begins before they
know their A C's. for she realizes this is the
one way to instiu such fondness in them and
to cultivate taste for the best City libraries also
make the effort reach very young readers in this
fashion
Now, if such taste and love be taught to
little in bookish surroundings. is it far-fetched
to say it can also be cultivated, at least in some
measure. in those who come from bookless homes?
While We have made great progress at the Job
the money for libraries and books is still the
hardest to get in any community AS yet the pub
fishers have not tried to make book-conscious as
the car manufacturers have made us car-conscious
And it can be done.
Do you ask how? BY having some ]ocal person
in every rural community and small town conduct
storytelling hour for tots and a reading hour for
older children If few really excellent books could
be made available to such individuals, who knows
what the results might be in increased business for
the publishers and increased happiness for the
adults of the future?
write this, not to drum up trade for ANYBODY,
but because believe the love of good books is the
best foundation for making good life.

Il ME American Bankers Association convened in
New Orleans, is hearing some speeches quite
different from the desperate tunes sung by the bank
ers guild in the dark days Of 1929 and the early
thirties. President Rudolf Hecht says the govern

Utah banker named Orval Adams less moderate
agitates for what amounts bankers strike against

and evolve "a sound tax plan"
Doubtless, the government could stand some
preaching on account of its spending operations.
But hardly from the bankers Many of these govern
ment borrowings made in order to save the
banks themselves. More than three billion dollars
were invested by the Reconstruction Finance Corpo-
ration in loans to banks. investments in bank capital
and loans 10 depositors in closed banks.
All of the 76 billion dollars the RFC has au-
thorSzed in loans exclusive Of various congressional
authorizations, lent either to banks and their
depositors to railroads, insurance companies

then unable to obtain credit from private banks
This 76 billion dollars which the government has
thrown to banking and business is greater than the
73 billions spent by cities, states and Federal gov
eminent in the last two and half years for relief
of human beings.
And what, wonders, would have happened to
the banks if the government had not gone into bust
ness, In $780, 1881 and 1882, banks to the number
of SIP were closed, BY March 4, 1888, it seemed
necessary for all of them to close. Thanks largely
to government in business, the banks have regained
their health Thanks also to the government bank
depositors have regained their confidence
OF course, the government should balance its bud

it is ready to take the job. Until such time
however it is unseemly for bankers to threaten to
strike against the government that saved them

SOL S. KISER

THE history of Sol S. Kser, who died yesterday,
was similar to that of number of Indiana
merchants and financiers who came here in early
days and began to supply the wants of their COM
munities.
BY thrift and industry they accumulated SURPRISES
which went into larger enterprises and into good
works.
Mr.. Kiser's good works were racteristic of the

NEW DEAL ASSURED OF
SUPPORT HERE

By Maverick Township Relief Men
There have been letters in several
Indiana newspapers stating that not
one in thousand of those who get
relief are deserving; that we always
have been poor and ignorant and
will remain SO forever; that We
daWdle and fiddle around making a
days work last from week to ten
days.
Would hungry people be so
choosey? it is asked. If one man
has to work for his food order he
becomes a green-eyed monster-if
the other 999 do not have to do the
same thing.
We know how we lived under the
last four years of Republican Ad-
ministration. What did it do for us?
Nothing!
In November, 1886, we are voting
and working and will do everything
we can for the New Deal, the Demo-
crat Party! The party that stands
for the people and the poor relief
men who want to work for an honest
living. The New Deal not only has
stood by us; it has stood by the man
in the factory, by all labor, the
farmer and the business man. That's
the party we want and will vote for
in 1886.
Farmers are getting good prices.
Banks are in good shape. Factories
are running, most of them. Business
men can sell their goods and every
body ought to be satisfied.

Horses still were making their exit
from the contemporary picture
cars were not so fast on the getaway
(the getaway and speed developed
along with the brakes) and there
was not the interdependence be-

neighboring intersections that there
is today.
Now for an idea. Many times be-
fore I have suggested it. Once ]
went to reigning mogul of the
traffic department with the idea
He saw fit to jest and play a very
practical joke. Nevertheless, here
I am back with the same idea:
Place semaphores at every inter-
section in the mile square, with
alternating stop and go signals
timed to take a car all the way
through the mile square without
stopping. Alternate both ways. For
example, when east-west traffic is
crossing one intersection the adj
jacent intersections are being
crossed by north-south traffic.
There is only one fly in the ONT
ment-the avenues.
But even that problem can be adj
justed.
Take the regular time for the two
signals Gas in an ordinary intersec-
tom and split it three ways $50 as
to include the avenue). Then fit
the avenues third neatly between
the east-west and north-south in
