Recently, Juneau's young men who a year ago joined the Al as0a National Guard, and who were inducted into active service as the National Guard of the United States about two weeks ago, left home for their training center at Chilkoot Barracks.
 Hardly will these men have a chance to move in and get accus toner to their quarters than they will be joined by l58 new members, the advance guard of Alaska's future army of draft ees.
 In all, 683 young Alaska men are slated to be inducted into active service throughout the Territory on October Is, accord ing 10 word received from the War Department,
 Of these, 158 will be attached to Juneau's Company A Chilkoot Barracks, and another 154 will join Ketchikan's Company B, quartered at the same training center. The remainder of this first group of draftees will be inducted into Anchorage and Fairbanks units and into the med ical and headquarters detach- nents at Fort Richardson.
 When We consider that some what less than 50 officers and men left Juneau for Chilkoot Barracks, it's plain to see the members of the parent Company A organization will really have their work cut out for them train ing the drafttes who will out number then more than three to one.
 h polntln9 out the advantages of joining the National Guard units before the induction date, officers predicted that practical ly all the men in the original company would become officers. once the draftees began to arrive at training centers. Certainly, it appears these predictions were rot ungrouded. This first contin- gent of draftees is but a down payment on Alaska defense fore es. They will continue to arrive in installments at training camps as they are mustered out of civ ilian life and the men who have received the most advanced train

TO REEMPLOY SELECTEES

(The Cincinnati Enquirer)
 An estimated 5000 Ohioans will be mustered out of the army by mid-December. These men were promised by their govern ment that their means of liVli- hood would be conserved. To make good this promise state sel ective service headquarters has requested each local draft board to set up a unemployment com mittee.
 This move is being made in good time but no earlier than it should be. The mechanics of set ting up unemployment commit tees adequate to the job involved real difficulties. Moreover, the committees must be organized well in advance of the influx of returning soldiers if they are to operate with hopes of success.
 The first problem in reemploy- ment vii ocus upon men 28 years old, or older, who have been made eligible for immediate dis charge under recent legislation. The main problem will develop later, when the older men are re- leased in greater numbers, and when others will be mustered out because of need or depend ency or at the expiration of ser vice.
 Although details have not yet been elaborated, the reemploy- ment plans calls for the appoint ment of member of each draft board as unemployment commit teeman. He will select his own advisers from local industrial and service groups. The commit tee will help return soldiers to their former jobs and find sim liar jobs when the first aim can not be achieved.

ing will certainly have the best opportunity to advance into po- Sitions of command.
 But certainly, mere service in the original National Guard units will not insure men that they will be advanced to officers ratings. Some of the Selectees will be college trained men who have been holding down import ant jobs in civilian life. They will be men who learn quickly, have q good grasp of the necessities of army command and will be eX- cellent timbre for army officer ships.
 As has been demonstrated in the States, the army is not dis eliminating against men who are drafted into service in favor of men who enlisted. If the draftees can meet the enlisted men on common ground and prove them selves better qualified for ad- vancements, the drafted men will be given those advancements.
 Just as the original National Guard members had a better chance of earning adancements because of their months of train ing before actual induction, so this first group of draftees has a better chance of catching tip with the.r enlisted fellow sol diers than will the men sent out by draft boards in future install ments.
 It's been almost a year since the first draftees were drawn from cities in the States. Some of those men have already been discharged from service, due to age and other reasons. But just because our boys are a year be- hind the States boys in going to camp doesn't mean they won't catch up with the units in the south, so far as proficiency in op- erations is concerned.
 We predict that a year from now the Alaska defense army, Tade up of Alaska men, will be 2 crack bunch of outfits, second 10 none in the country, espec- ally when it comes to Alaska maneuvers. And we hope that practice maneuvers will be the most warlike duties this embryo army has to perform.

A REASONABLE CENSORSHIP
Cincinnati Enquirer)

CClnclnnatl Enqulrer)
 According to James B. Forrest al, Acting Secretary of the Navy, the armed services are planning a rigid censorship of outgoing in- formation in the event of actual war, but not a general censor ship of the newspaper press with in the country.
 This is thoroughly sound, and it cannot be emphasized too much that any other censorship policy would be blunder. The one valid object of censorship in wartime is to withhold from the enemy information of mili- tary value to him. This can best be accomplished by stringent control of outgoing mail, cable services, and radio communica- tions. Censorship of the daily press goes far beyond these re- qulrements.
 A democracy, if it is obliged to go to war, needs abundant in- formation, for morale in a free nation depends on keeping the whole people thoroughly inform ed. One of the many reasons for the collapse of France last year was the blundering censorship policy at Paris, which denied the French people virtually any in- formation whatever about the
The Nome nugget., 1941-10-22

conduct of the war. Unable to get the acts, the French people believed whatever rumorS they heard, and Germany provided the rumors, deliberately created to develop the hysteria Ger many's war plans called for.
 The American newspaper press has shown it's ability and it's willingness to maintain volun- tary censorship, such as the pres ent agreement not to disclose the movements of naval vessels or the presence of foreign vessels in our harbors. Even this self censorship has been carried far ther than common-sense requir- es A sound precedent in this re gard has been given by Great Britain, where there is not the slightest restriction on the urint ing of news or comment, even acid comment, save if it involves military secrets.
 If we are lucky, we shall not be formally engaged in war. But if actual war does come, we shall have stronger morale, more unified people, and still an ade- quate protection of military in- formation if censorship is con fined to international communica tions exclusively.

Now comes the crucial test. Without a long rest, how much more punishment can the Nazis deal out, and how much more can the Russians take?
 There's not a military man of reputation in any world capital who will hazard flat prediction on this point. But most Washing ton observers do feel that the Germans have worked them selves into position where they must pull more magic out of the military hat-and do it quickly or lose momentum.
 The Germans have been slow ly building up bridge heads on the lower Dneiper and tributary streams, apparently while trying to divert attention to Leningrad. the Mediterranean and Africa. That's an old German military trick. They may be expected therefore to aim their next big blow at southern Russia.
 The Germans may have con vinced themselves that the Rus sians are fresh out of replace

 WASHINGTON, Oct. - The Russo-German war now enters a stage that may demonstrate the staying power of the two power ful mechanized armies-and re- veal Hitler's plans for the winter. Nazi armies on the eastern front have been marking time for more than month, either get ting ready for a new push or try ing to patch up their communica tionS system-or both.
 Observers in Washington al ready have checked off Lenin- grad and Odessa. They take the view that these two positions have been hopeless for Russia for several weeks. Neither side is sending new forces to these is lands of resistance. Real stakes just now probably are the Ukraine and the Cau- casus, now that Hitler seemingly has been stalled in this major as sault on Moscow.
 The vigor of the German drive at the remaining slice of the Ukraine-as well is it's direction will demonstrate Hitler S strength and his weakness.

An excellent feature of the plan is that the efforts of draft boards in each state will be CO., ordinated with those of boards in other states. Further, national sel ective service headquarters is to provide advance lists of men re- turning to civilian life. These arrangements should give the re employment system a maximum of Workability.

 German losses can not have been much less. Dead and wound ed probably number more than 100000. Prisoners and missing should raise the total to 100000. These figures are based on the mathematical averages of mod ern battle, assuming about 7,00O,- 900 men in action on the eastern front.

ments, and can't resist one big push down south. Also, the Nazis regard hard frozen ground, still unencumbered by heavy winter snowfall as an ideal polo field for their panzers. That means the big push could begin now and land under full steam later in October.
The Nome nugget., 1941-10-22
It's this way:

It's this way:
 The Russians from the start have surprised the world with the amount of military machin- cry they had, and their skill in handling it. Nobody was more surprised than Hitler.
 But it seems apparent that the Russians must have thrown the best of their manpoWer and their equipment at the oncoming Nazis Likewise. the Nazis were forced to go all out.
 Both armies have been punch drunk for several weeks. The Nazis found they couldn't drag up supplies quickly without roads. They've been forced to SOW down, and take counter punches. On the other hand, the Russians themselves have been rocked on their heels in all sec tors.
The Nome nugget., 1941-10-22

What would such Nazi drive reveal?
 Most observers here feel that the next German thrust may dis close these three situations:
 l. Hitler may have been us-' ing up gas and oil by the millions of gallons weekly. He may have reached a point where he cannot wait until spring to replenish re- serves. Therefore he will muster "a big push, aim it at Rostov If successful, this would give him the northern rim of the Black Sea. then put that body of water in shape for the start of the bat t'e of the Black Sea. Oil is just beyond the seas eastern rim.
 2. The Russians may be run ming short of critical war machin es such as planes, bombsights, tanks and heavy artillery. The United States mission in Moscow will be in a position to report just what is would take to keep Russia in there punching.
 3. The German offensive may fall short. Both the Russian and German armies need rest. Nei- ther may be capable of a sus- tained offensive just now, like the beginning Nazi drive, or counter offensive such as the Rus sians have started in the center. As a matter of fact, slow pro- gress of the Russian counter punches indicates that the drive is more of an attempt to relieve pressure elsewhere than the start of a full-fedged counter-attack.

SEATTLE, Nov. 9. < Thursday was a happy day for Bishop Peter Trimble Rowe, for 46 years Episco- pal missionary Bishop to Alaska.
 It was not only Thanksgiving Day, but was also the S5th ami versary of his birth, and greetings and messages of good will came to him from all parts of the United States and from his beloved Al aska.
 The occasion was celebrated at the home of the aged prelate's son, Leo Rowe, at 20346 18th Ave. NV. with traditional Thanksgiving dinner for a few intimate friends.
 Bishop Rowe, the giant of the North" came to Seattle from his post in Alaska in August, and IS looking forward to returning there in the spring.
