BOB BARTLETT
 VISITS IN IlV NOME

Candidate for Delegate to Congress, E. L. (Bob) Bartlett has been in Nome for the past few days, renewing accquaintances and otherwise advocating his can didacy for delegate.
 In an interview, MT. Bartlett said 'he was unalterably opposed to consolidation of the, Second and Fourth Judicial Divisions"
 From an economic standpoint, MT. Bartlett considers the consoli- idation without saving and on in- quiry further states the economic angle is of no value.
 Tn the gist of an interview MT. Bartlett defines the cost of trans portation of officials between Fair banks and Nome and suggests the cost would be roughly equivalent to the cost of maintaining a judi cial establishment.
 The candidate for delegate sug- geSts the residents of this Divi- sion would be suffering substan- tiaL denial of their rights, through such removal of Court.
 Mir Bartlett, more or less views the situation with alarm and de- clares further: Tt is especially idle to discuss such consolidation now, in view of the ever increas- ing importance of this section of Alaska After the war there not only will be revival of goldmin- ing but aviation in both the local and international aspects is bound to play an instrumental part in the crossing of Seward Peninsula. You people can confidently look forward to a bright future.
 Tn addition MT. Bartlett adds,
 the following which is so ap- parent in connection with the talk about consolidating the two judi cial Divisions, the Department of Justice ought immediately to change the present policy so that the U. s. Attorney for this Divi- sion would be stationed here con- stantly.
 So long as court headquarters are here-which hope and be- lieve will be for long time-the presence of a U. s. Attorney is essential.
 "I have worked in the past for a reversal of the present policy and I shall continue to do so in the future" MT. Bartlett adds.

SHAW DEFENDS IRISH PEOPLE

G. Bernard Shaw, Irish himself, defends the Irish for refusing to abandon neutrality" by cracking down on the Axis diplomats to Fire.

 When asked if the Irish had "a real grievance against the Brit ish", he replied:
 We have centuries of griev- ances against them"

 gives full suspension in effect
 of travel between the islands of Britain and Ireland. The neax
 prospect according to all reports
 emanating from Belfast. north- ern Ireland. said their step.
 which the British government could order. was inevitable.
 As the allies moved with hard realism to end the use of neutral Fire as an Axis spy base, certain other steps of this nature which are not now disclosed will also be taken regarding all travel except in cases of greatest urgency will be suspended between Britain and Ireland by the British home of~ flee order last night. Two days after DeValera announced his re- fusal to accede to United States request that German and Japanese diplomatic offices in the country were closed.
 The order resulted from an ur- gent request by General Eisen- hover, who said he had informs- ton that Axis representative in Fire constituted a serious meu- ace to military security.
 The Irish mail train for Holy head, where it connects with the boat for Kingstown, near Dublin, left London this morning two- thirds empty. Irishmen on me train were mainly laborers and strongly against DeValera.
 What does he want to keep Germans in Dublin for. Germany never gave anything to Ireland. and never will" Asked Michael Leneham.
 There is nothing to indicate that the allied moves are likely to go as far as the application of eco- homie sanctions against Fire.
 The British are going slowly, leaving the initiative largely to the United States because of their ancient feud with the Irish. Also these and other practical consider ations, that southern Irish volun- teers make up a large part of the British Army, and nearly a quar- ter of a million southern Irish men work in British war plants,
 Ending all trade with Fire would in some respects operate to a dis advantage to the British as well as the Irish.

 A surprise movement on the part of the powers that be" within the unit, found Sergeant Bell elevated to the rank of first liutenant: Lieut.. Vance R. Potts, given the rank Of captain, and Captain Lester Bronson put in command of the unit as major.
 The commissions were awarded by Major M. R. Marston, who was assisted in the ceremony by Chap lain Anabel, recently given the post as lieutenant in charge of spiritual service.
 A pleasing atmosphere, during the intermission. by Major Mar ston, who has been assigned, on detached service from the United States army, specifically to further the cause of the Alaska Territorial Guard
 In words of commendation, Ma jor Marston challenged the newly elevated officers that the war is not Won-far from it."
 Stating further, the speaker said:
 Tt is going to get tough and hard. Reverses and heavy losses in men and material before vic tory comes. The roar to the south is not the cracking of ice.' It is the bombing of Paramishura by American fliers.

This statement is made absolutely without fear of contradiction after an exhaustive survey of these areas made in connection with the establishment of units of the Alaska Territorial Guard.
 "To say that the Eskimo has been misunderstood by the white man does not fairly state the case. Rather, it would appear, the white man has not taken too much trouble to try to understand the workings of the Eskimo mind. When, therefore, it is ascertained that these dusky-skinned citizens are as full of solid Americanism and loyalty to the cause for which we now are are fighting as is the white man, it becomes, in some quarters, a matter for amazement and, almost, disbelief.

testing whether this project or the
Seabees will long endure.
I'VE are all together slipping and
sliding as we do this, but In a
larger sense we cannot cultivate,
we cannot navigate, we cannot
harrow this ground, for those great
rains which make this mud here
have made it impossible, far above
the poor power Of all but the
"cats" (tractors).
LIT is for us, the Seabees, rather
to be enslaved here by this mental
labor which they who are IN
charge have thus so freely ad-
vanced. 1t is rather for us to be
here sickened by the dish of hash
set before us, that from these cans
we took our nourishment; nor no
devotion to those cooks, for our
stomachs gave an everlasting
measure of commotion.
"The world will little note nor
long remember what we build

the hash and beans we ate here.
