Hikers Stranded On Way North

Six Americans, including two infants and two women, who at tempted to hike from the United States through the glacier torn wilderness of British Columbia and Alaska to Skagway were stranded at Telegraph Creek, B.. C., Department of Welfare offic- ials at Juneau were informed.
 A message from Sergt o. L.. Tall of the British Columbia Po- lice to Russell G. Maynard, Terri torial Welfare Director, said an other member of the party, Miss inda Harris of Arizona, had been left behind at the Beirnes Ranch at Hazleton, B. c.
 Unable to go on further, be- cause they are destitute and inn properly equipped for walking at this time of the year." according to Sergeant Halls te-egram, are:
 Dr. and Mrs. R. H. Pencovlc and two infant children, Salt Lake City, Utah.
 Ruth Ellis, also of Salt Lake City, and
 Ernest Griffith, Phoenix, Ariz.
 Sergeant Halls message re- quested information as to pos sible relief measures from Alas kan funds but Maynard replied that inasmuch as the hikers are not within the Territory, their cases should be referred to the welfare departments of Utah and Arizona.
 Sergeant Hall did not say why the party had attempted the al most impossible trip or what the point of origin was.

ITALY DOWNHEARTED

Significant revelations were made on conditions in Italy which Whitaker described as a country occupied by the nazis." !" Whitaker recently was expelled from Italy for writing dispatch es that Mussolini didn't like.
 Once Genmany's fortunes should fail," he said, 'It is good bet that the Italian people would oust the fascists who now hold only shadowy power"
 He said there exists the utter est disillusionment in fascism it. self in Italy. Two cabinet min isters in a confidential conver- sation once told me they had been thoroughly disappointed in their political philosophy. We didn't know any better" the com plained."
 For the first time he revealed what happened when Mussolini announced to Rome assemblage Italys declaration of war. It is nothing less than bid for i'm prisonment or death to leave crowd of listeners when Musso- lini speaks, but when he announc ed Italy's entrance into the war spectators began to filter away and before he had finished fully a third of the crowd had aban- doned the scene.
 Italians have no hope, win or lose, he said.

ISOLATIONISTS

Whitaker charged that Wheel CT, Lindbergh and Go. have done n.ore to force nations of the world into Hitler's arms than could possible be accomplished by nazi intimidation and cajolery. He said he could not understand why those two isolationists did not don the German uniform. By their non-interventionist agitation, these men, he said, have encouraged disbelief every where in American unity. Poli- ticians are able to urge their peo pie to choose the victorious side, that is, Germany, on the ground that America is confused and un- ready.
 Everything Wheeler and Lind bergh say is played up by the nazis in the German press and in the newspapers of every country within the Reich's orbit. Not a peep of anything else" said Whit aker, "is allowed to reach those publics. Nothing that is uttered by Roosevelt or any other Ameri can government official or pro- British politicians and citizen ev- CT gets into print if it can pos sble be helped"
 American debate on whether to retain draftees more than a year, Whitaker points out, fur ther perplexes other nations which looked for the United Stat es for guidance.
 Neither is Americas serious ness of war effort conveyed to Europeans who observe in Ameri can magazines and newspapers advertisements for luxury pro- ducts that deserve no priority in wartime" Walk down the streets of bombed towns," he said, land try to conceive of appeasement where rubble and death gapes at you on every side"
 In his conversations with high officials in every phase of British life, Whitaker said he detected not glimmer of defeatism. This resolution extended down the ranks to the common people all over the land. Those incredible British don't know when they are beaten, he remarked to in- dicate their infiexible determina- ton.

England Can't
 Win War Alone

NEW YORK Especial Radio)--| England, despite morale that passes all comprehension. cannot win it's war against Gremany alone and the greater Reich is in no danger of collapse, except on the field of battle and that cannot occur without all-out American participation, John T. Whitcomb, correspondent who correctly pre- dicted both Italy's invasion of Greece and Germany's turnabout against Russia, declared in a spec ial interview today.
 s'No war was ever won on the defensive" said Whitaker. Eng lands greaest strength is 59 di- visions against 280 for Germany. Divisions win wars. Hitler can not be licked except militarily. It is obvious that, granted a nazi tri umph in eastern Europe, Ger many's armed power will be able to overwhe,m that of the British. A military alliance with the Unit ed States is Britain's only hope.'
 Whitaker, recently back from months tour of British airdromeS defense plants, and devastated areas in England, where he talk ed with everybody of importance in governmental life, said that unless the United States entered the war soon, there was the pros pect of conflict for 10 or 15 years with the direst consequences for the entire world.
 He said already the force of events presaged encirclement of both England the the United Stat es. It was foregone, he said, that Japan would soon announce its full military adhesion to the axis and that Spain and Portugal, with many nations of Latin Amer ican in tow, would be vorteXed into the nazi camp simultaneously ior shortly thereafter.
 Hitler, Whitaker warned, con templates a harder fight against the United States than his gigan- tic military machine has ever Waged or expects to wage against England and it's empire. He will exploit to the full all economic and industrial resources of nazi- conquered and nazi-controlled countries, hundreds of thousands of whose factory workers have been transferred to Germany for war production.

Fine Weather in Islands

We had fine weather, al- though it was very dry during the season." said Johnston. "The take of 95,O0O skins was 25,00 more than last year. We killed only three-yearold males. There wore more than 100000 seals on St. George and St. Paul Islands, the Pribilofs, this year, in in- crease fabout ' per cent"
 Johnston said no difficulty was encountered in hadling cargo as a result of the favorable weather.
 Lighters are used at St. Paul Island and canvas boats at St. George Island.

Natives Are Prosperous

Prosperous after a good seal season, natives of the Pribilofs are adopting American styles and entertainment-from high-heeled slippers to radio.
 When the Penguin heads north Seattle within fortnight for the last trip of the season, loaded to the gunwales, a goodly portion Of the cargo will be mail order goods for the natives.
 "They go strong for all the feminine articles of apparel of their white sisters down here" :" said Johnston. They like the highest heeled shoes and silk stockings.
 Musical instruments and ra- dios also are in great demand, and no native house is complete without one to three radios and as many phonographs."
 Three Nations to Get Skins
 Under international treaty, the United States gets 70 percent of the pelts, Japan 15 percent and Canada Is percent. The natives kill seals under government su- pervision and get 60 to 75 cents for each.
 Pribilof natives have modern concrete houses, with electric lights. They dress plainly ordin- arly, but the women revel in the latest styles for parties and danc eS.
 There are two main islands, St. George and St. Paul, with to- tai native population of about 560.

Adult Education Courses

On Monday night, registra-
ton for the Adult Education
Courses will take place. 1t is
hoped this opportunity will be
received with enthusiasm, and
that residents of this COM
munity and surrounding COM
munities will avail themselves
of the offer to further their
education free of charge.
Smyrna should be proud that
its school is offering the most
elaborate up-to-date system of
adult education in the entire
state. The Smyrna School
Board, who approved and en-
couraged the plan, must have
the cooperation of the adults
in and around this conmun-
ity. They must have full par
ticipation in these courses.
There are sixteen from which
to choose. Those having the
most registrants will be the
ones taught one night each
week. If you are a business
man, and ''in a rut"-take the
Recreational Athletics course.
If you are a newly-wed or
spend most of your time at
homework, take Home Eco
Monies. If you wish to i'm
prove your speaking or writ
ing vocabulary, or to brush up
on grammar, take one of the
English courses. If you want
to learn Merchandising, the
John Bassett Moore School is
the place to go Monday night.
The more enthusiasm shown
by the registrants, the more
successful the Adult Educa-
ton Plan will be.

This hot air also dries out and

INTERESTING SKETCHES

Mention having been made in the
opening paragraph of LaGuardia
field, there may be excuse at this
point for announcing the fact that
during the holidays there were days
when 200 airplanes arrived and de-
parted, the previous high having
been 172. Such heavy traffic seem
ingly indicates that within the last
few years, the American public has
become quite air-minded when it
comes to travel. 1t also interested
me to know that tie number of land
ings and take-offs might have been
greater had more pilots been avail
able. Since a pilot may fly contin-
uously only eight hours and then
remain on the ground for the next

1t is obvious that the purpose of
British strategy now is to eliminate
Italy as a major belligerent in the
war. That thought unquestionably
underlay the recent British naval
invasion of the Adriatic Sea-
body Of water which, on the basis
Of fighting ships and manpower,
Italy should be able to control with
ease. England is rapidly liquidat-
ing italian military influence in
Africa.
There seems to be little doubt
that Mussolini is on the down grade
and that the magnificent Fascist
empire he envisioned has small
chance of being realized. III Duce
has but two alternatives, both Of
them unpleasant from his point of
view-he must either surrender to
England, or ask that Hitler save
him. The first alternative is ex-
tremeIy unlikely-Germany could
not permit it without risking a
tremendous loss of prestige. The
second alternative means German
domination of Italy. The Italian
people, going by the judgment OF
the best observers, viii not like
that, but there will be little they
can do about it. Unconfirmed re-
ports say that Gestapo agents are
already in Rome, and it Is known
that the German air force is con-
voying troops to Albania. 1t looks
as if from now on Mussolini will be
only Hitler's stooge.
If England does succeed in elimi-
mating or greatly reducing Italian
military and naval power, 1t will
be a major victory. At the same
time, it will bring with it increased
danger of German attempt at in
vading England. The British block
ade Is extremely effective, and the
part Of Europe the F'uhrer con-
trolls Is running short Of essential
supplies. So, when Churchhill said
the other day in Commons that he
