First musical event of the fall the concert tonight will give Juneau music lovers their last opportunity to hear the fine voices of Mir. Ehler and Miss Belne in full concert.
 It was 25 years ago, just after her return from study in Germany, that Miss Berne first sang here. that she was declared by enthusiastic critics to be the Alaska Nightingale" And it was as Alaskas nightingale that she sang in concert for years follow ing her Juneau debut.

Last War Cost 1S6 BiIIions;;
 This One
By DEWITT MACKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Writer

NEW YORK, Sept. II. What profit or loss is possible in another European war for anybody?
 In the World War everybody paid so heavily for the privilege of rolling the dice that even the win ners were losers.
 The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace estimated the direct cost at $186.000, 100000.
 The indirect cost was set at all most as much more.
 The number known dead was placed at 9,998,771, and the pre- sumed dead at 2,991 ,800-making a total of 12,990,571.
 This doesn't take into account the millions of wounded.
 Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany was one of the losers. He lost his throne.
 Germany Lost Heavily
 Germany lost all those territories

and prerogatives for the sovereignty which Adolf Hitler has been trying with much success) to restore ever since he came to power in 1883.
 The lands lost included the same Danzig and Polish Corridor which are the immediate causes of today $ imbroglio.
 All that is quite beside the loss of 100000 German dead and the direct costs of $39,000, ,000,0 900.
 Naturally, Germany doesn't ex- pect to lose war But we can speculate on the Hypothetical query as to what might happen if she did lose.
 Another war coming right on top of the World War might revive the old animoSities to such an extent the Versailles Treaty would be re- stored and even added to.
 Work May Be Undone
 Whatever might happen in the way of treaties, it is certain at least some of Herr Hitler's work would be undone.
 Czechosloyakia likeIy would be reestablished. Austria might fol- low suit. Germany's navy, army and airforce most certainly would again be reduced to the impotence which existed when Der Fuehrer took hold and restored them.

Seized Ship-Gets Good
Word at Last

Melrose, Mass, Oct. 28- (UP) -
Mrs. Joseph A. Gainard. wife of the
captain of the seized American
freighter, City Of Flint, said today
she still hoped for personal assur-
ances" from the Berlin and Moscow
foreign offices that her husband is
safe. To German Foreign Minister
Joachim Won Ribbentroy and Soviet
Foreign Commissar ". M. Molotov
last night, she cabled identical APP
peals which read: Urgently request
Geographic information whereabouts
my husband, master City Of Flint,
assuring me he and crew unframed.
Reply would greatly relieve worries
besetting any wife facing situation
like this"
Overnight, her tears were some
what allayed by the state depart
ment's announcement that the Soviet
foreign office had given assurances
that Captain Gainard and his 90
man crew are safe at Murmansk,
near the Bay Of Kola. 81 had my
best nights sleep since Joe,s ship

FIRST ENCYCLICAL
OF POPE FRIDAY

Castel Gandolfo, Itlay, DC. 26-
(UP)-Pope Plus will isue his first
encyclical tomorrow. It Is expected
to be a lengthy exposition of the
church's opposition to the spread Of
Paganism and Atheism as affected
by the Soviet expansion in eastern
Europe.
The pontiff dropped previous plans
to postpone issuance of the encycli-
cal until the middle of next week.
The encyclical is expected to be a
long one, possibly 10000 or more
words. Pope Plus has worked on it
for weeks.
In view of the pontiff's reputation
as a diplomat and statesman, the
encyclical has been awaited with un-
usual interest in connection with
the European conflict. But it was
understood that it would be devoted
chiefly to the desire of the Pope to
rally all christiandom against the
spread Of neo-pagan and atheistic
doctrines.

THIRD TERM MAN
IS GIVEN REBUKE

Washington, Oct. 26 = CUP -
Presidential Secretary Stephen T,
Early said today that Secretary of
Agriculture Henry A. Wallace should
have consulted President Roosevelt
before advocating a third term for
Mr.. Roosevelt.
Wallace said in an interview at
San Francisco that Mr.. Roosevelt
should be elected for third term
because he is the best qualified man
in the nation to guide the country
in serious international crisis.
"It would have been kind and
polite of the speaker to have con-
suited the victim before he spoke
Early said.
Reporters told Early that the chief
reaction in congress to Wallace's
statement seemed to have been that
it was ill-timed.
ut could have been timed better
if it had to be timed at ALL" Early

the close.
Utilities had some strength that

1880. That rally also failed to en-

steel issues were weak from the
start and their failure to recover
with other sections brought large
amounts of realizing.
Late declines were spread over a
long list of highgrade issues in the
motor section, rails, oils, mercantile
shares, mail order stocks, farm issues
and coppers.
General Motors ran up to new

conditions.
Russia Ratified Treaty
Russia ratified the treaty, in
GLIDING another article, the 23rd,
which provided for sequestration Of
prizes in neutral ports pending prize
court decisions. The United States
specifically refused to approve this
article when 1t ratified the con-
vention.
Questioning of Hull developed in
dications that reports that the
Flint's machinery was damaged,
necessitating the call at Murmansk,
had been circulated after this gov
ernment's position regarding the use
of neutral ports had been made
known to Russia.
Hull's disclosure that the United
States was acting theoretically came
after the government last night
penetrated a 48-hour silence con-
corning the Flint's 41-man crew and
learned that they were safe at
Murmansk.
Hull disclosed that information
was being sent to the Berlin en-
bassy as rapidly as it Is developed
with instructions to give every pos
sible attention to the case. This
meant energetic representations
there also.
Hull said that probably a half
dozen cables had been sent to Stein
hardt outlining this governments
position, and about q similar num-
Der in Berlin.
The United States position that
more than so per cent of the Flint's
cargo was conditional or non-con-
traband opened the way for action
to release the vessel. Under interna-
tional law it is possible to confiscate
a ship when more than so per cent
Of its cargo Is absolute contraband.
As the case stands the next step
Is up to Russia. The. Soviet govern
ment either must concede the legal
ity of the U. 8. demands and release
the vessel, or deny the U. 8. argu-
ment and hold the ship Or give 1t to
its NaM captors.
Russia has consistently refused to
be bound by treaties negotiated by
the Czarist government which rati-
fled the Hague convention. However,
Russia's trade agreement with the
United States, a valuable item In the
Soviet economy, rush on q year-to-
year basis and might be ended at
any time in case Of serious disagree
ment.
