neutrality of some European state whose territory would permit a sound military flanking movement against the German army, and draw it's best divisions away from Poland.
 The West Wall was too tough for a quick victory, obviously. Violating the neutrality of a neutral state, such as Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, or Rumania, to get aid to the Poles was the kind of strategy that brought the wrath of world opinion down upon the Kaiser at the begin- ming of the last World War. ....
 So, in the end the Franco-British alliance rejected both of those meth ods of offering immediate aid to Po- land
 2.-As long as Hitler's ally, Mus sclini should keep Italy neutral, the British dare not send their main fleet into the Mediterranean and maintain a supply line thou sands of miles long to the back door of Poland, Rumania. At any mo- ment. the canny Mussolini could abandon his neutrality, and bottle up the British with his swell sub marine fleets. Therefore, Italy must be dealt with. peacefully, or other wise. It takes time to do that.
 3.-If Mussolini couldn't be bought off, then he might be intimidated by armed might, but the British and French commands must first get together and decide whether it is sensible to make an attack through the Italian Alps in September, just before the snow begins to fly and choke up strategic passes. They ap- paiently decided it was not sensible. More time was consumed. !
 4.-That left the western front, for the time being, as the only means of aid pending the outcome of a g-drawn- blockade of Ger many. How about sudden attack on the West Wall? q
 The trouble is nobody knows the value of an air fleet in such attacks, How important, or unimportant, are airplanes? It may well be that the plane is not the all-powerful de- cisive force it's advocates claim it is, but it also may well be that the plane is the margin of victory for one side or the other. It could go a long way, if concentrated, to blast an impossible barrier of death be- tween the enemy's supply and re- Inducements, and isolate the Sieg- fried line.

Gold Pan of
 Nuggets Gels
 GoodDispIay
(Wrangell SentineD

A most arrestilg window display has been placed in the Bank of Wrangell window. It consisted of a gold pan in which were arranged 50 ounces of gold nuggets whose values ranged from five to seventy five dollars, the majority being for ty and fifty-dollar values.
 The nuggets came from the placer leases of the Boulder Creek Mining Company, Ltd, in the McDames area of the Cassiar and were part of a 70O-ounce shipment brought out by Capt. s. 0, Harrington, who with Joe Walsh of Seattle, former Daw- son and Mayo miner, opened up Boulder Creek this summer.
 Since the first cleanup on July 25 to the last of the season on Sep tember 19, seventy thousand dollars worth of gold has been recovered from a strip of ground 250 feet long by 80 feet wide; bedrock is 20 to 26 feet. Along the rim of this ground Percy Peacock last year took out approximately $40, ,0O0 by hand methods.
 Harrington and Walsh bought his holdings last year and during the winter took in over the snow drag line outfit. Since last July they have worked crew of IA men, including two cooks, in two shifts, work be- ginning at o'clock in the morning and the last men turning in at 10 o'clock at night, Sundays and all.
 The weather. in the high noun tain valley, almost up to timber line, has been unpleasant, cold and rain being the usual portion. After the cleanup recently when icicles four feet long hung off the wash ma chine, the sun began shining warm CT and brighter, Capt. Harrington said, and operations could have con tinued three weeks longer, but work on the dragline was needed and it was decided not to take, chances ona major breakdown. Next year their crew will include an electric welder. @

 Every one of these points was a barrier to instant action by the Allies, but instant action only could help the Poles. So Poland went by the board until the war takes an ether turn.

The Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company has no objection to plan to construct tunnel into Evergreen Bowl from property owned by the Company. Wellman Holbrook re- ported to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce yesterday.
 The Company feels. however, that the City should perpetuate it's title to the Bowl playfield before building the tunnel. Holbrook said.
 Plans call for a concrete faced tunnel measuring seven by seven feet.
 Holbrook said Trevor Davis. whose father drilled a well many years ago at the site of the tunnel, said there was rock il1 the hill which pro- bably would complicate boring of the tunnel.
