Comfort.
There is a day of sunny rest
For every dark and troubled night,

And numbered every secret tear,
And Heavens long age of bliss shall
For all His children suffer here.

NEW NAVAL DISTRICT
 LOOMS FOR ALASKA

Further evidence that the Navy Department is plann- ing extensions in Alaska, in cluding at least one naval air base, is found in the re- port of w. B. Kirk, well known Juneau resident & former Nomeite, just re- turning from the States, that the 17th naval district may be created in the Ter ritory of Alaska, It is the theory of naval men to whom MT. Kirk talked that with it's vast unprotected coast line Alaska is the log ical place for another naval district. Hawaii is now the headquarters of the 18th district and there the Navy has established one of it's most elaborate bases on the Pacific, and it is natural tie up with Alaskan waters for protection of the West coast.
 Distant as the Alaska sta tions are from Bremerton headquarters of the 18th naval district and closes point to the Territory, i would appear to follow tha' if the naval air base pro gram goes through, bring ing a large number of mer and equipment into north ern waters, that the Depar ment would find it exped. tent to create a district ir the north.
 As has been pointed out innumerable times,a con firmed on various occasions

by naval experts, Alaska is the key to the whole pro- gram of defense on the Pa ciic. From bases in Alas kan waters, the Navy could keep a Watchful eye on all the trans-Pacific water rou tes. The fact, too, that the Department is spending more and more on radio sta tions and the minor bases it already has in the north gives further weight to the belief that Alaska is about to be linked with Hawaii in the general naval scheme of Pacific defense.-EX.

CALAMITOUS WAR

There is no doubt that in the minds of many men & women the view prevails that war must come.
 Certainly there was nev- CT a time when anxiety & dread of approaching cala- mity was more widespread.
 It doesn't follow that the supreme calamity will fol- low. After 1870 it was held that a harsh peace would be overthrown with in a few years by force of arms. Forty-four years of alarms and excursions fol- lowed before war broke.
 This time the danger is just as clear, and the actual experience of it is fresh & vivid in the minds of the rulers.
