Progress Of War
It is a possibility, according to come military experts
that the Axis may win the war. However, in the light
of reason, this is not to be expected, no matter what
happens in Russia, Africa or the Far East. The com
bination of forces lined up against the aggressors is
sufficient to bring victory to the United Nations al
though the triumph may be delayed by improper strat
egy and tardy acceptance of the war’s demands.
The next 60 days will give us the measure of the
task that confronts the United States and an estimate
of the cost in blood and money. How well the Russians
withstand the savage German onslaught will decide
the extent of our exertion.
In Russia the fighting continues to place the Red
Army in desperate straits but the information that
comes from the Soviet is so restricted that it is impos
sible to foretell with accuracy what the future holds
for the fighting Slavs.
The spectacular German advance into the Caucasus
may have been accomplished only at terrific cost in
men and material. On the other hand, it may have
inflicted enormous losses upon the defending armies.
Whether Marshal Timoshenko's withdrawals have
been orderly, upon strategic considerations, or after
decisive defeats, the world at large has no way to tell.
According to all reports, be safely assumed that the
Red army will continue the struggle regardless of loss
es but nevertheless it should be recognized that there
is a possibility that continuing German advances may
make it all but impossible for the Soviet to keep a
great army in the field.
Should organized Russian resistance collapse, Hitler
would certainly be in a position to attack Great Brit
ain. advance in the Near East or fall back upon a de
fensive strategy, designed to hold the part of Europe
that he has conquered and invite the Anglo-Saxons to
undo what they do not like.
The entire war is shrouded in mystery, with Ameri
cans knowing little of what goes on in the Pacific,
much leSs Europe, Asia and Africa. This is illustrated
by the Japanese occupation of a few of the Aleutian
islands, where the strength of the invaders has not
been made public.
Naturally, it is not wise for the Army and Navy to
take the public into complete confidence about such
matters.
This is the way wars are fought and the public and
writers about the war must be satisfied, even if they
can’t tell what is going to happen, where and when.

Activities In I he Pacific
Reported activities against the Japanese by Gen.
Mac Arthur’s forces in the South Pacific and by Am
erican iorces in the North Pacific, are indicative of
the beginning of a determined movement to drive the
Japanese from the western ocean.
The people of the United States should understand
that the Japanese retain considerable striking power
in the Pacific.
The destruction ol five Japanese aircraft carriers
and the damage ol others at Midway and in the Coral
Sea did not destroy the striking power of the Japan
ese Navy. It may have established parity in regard to
i carriers. In other respects, the Japanese Navy
P> . e. es distinctive advantages in the Pacific area.
I‘1 °m the tip of Aleutian Islands to Honolulu and
then to Australia, the American fleet is operating over
a 7,000-mile line of battle. Along this arc, as much
as 2500 miles separates some of the islands and the
entire line is more than 2.000 miles from the American
mainland which must supply the fleet with planes,
guns, sli ps, shells, gasoline and other necessities.
J he Japanese operate on interior lines of communi
cations, with shorter distances to advanced bases. They
had a long start in the fortification of island outposts.

GENERAL ELECTION SEPT. 8, 1912.
The people of Alaska have a Legislature. It
meets for fiO days every 2 years. It decides how
much shall he spent for our roads. It is respon
sible for our Public Schools. It provides for the
care of our needy children and our needy elder
ly men and women.
Because of the War the Territory and its
citizens must make many adjustments. It is more
important now than in times of Peace that we
choose carefully the men to be our members in
the Legislature. The limited powers we have in
our Government must be watched and preserved.
The next Legislature must have men in it
that will know what our part of Alaska needs;
men that will protect the rights of Alaskans. The
Republican candidates are those kind of men.
You will vote wisely on September 8, at the
General Election bv voting for—
