EDITORIAL
ARMY BOYS AND DOGS
TO MUSH AGAIN
Human interest will be keen
in the expedition of a small par
ty of army men and 40 dogs from
Chilkoot Barracks to Fairbanks
— some 800 miies —the coming
winter.
This long trek will follow al
most a straight line over the
snowy trail and over plenty of
rough country where scarcely a
human habitation will be found.
Breaking trail and camping night
ly in the open wTill give the men
plenty of experience. Doubtless
they will encounter a lot of cold
weather and much hard going.
But such a trip is nothing new
in this Alaska, either to the
army or individuals. It is not
many years since the old Signal
Corps in Alaska patrolled the
king trails of the Tanana Valley,
between Fairbanks and Valdez;
across the divide and down the
Fortymile and into Eagle; up and
down the Tanana Valley and
along the lower Yukon to St.
Michael. The late Brigadier Gen
eral Mitchell—who headed Am
erica’s air corps in the World
War—once a member of the Sig
nal Corps service and mushed his
dog team along trails of the up
per Tanana.
Earlier days witnessed hun
dreds if not thousands of dog
mushers stampeding from Daw
son to Nome, some 1200 miles;
from the Klondike to Fairbanks;
and from the older camps to ev
ery new mining camp. Women
also mushed the same trails.
Three years ago Mary Joyce,
stout-hearted adventurer, mush
ed the dogs from near Juneau to
Fairbanks, a thousand miles in
the dead of a bitter winter.
Once in Fairbanks with their
dogs, the detachment from Chil
koot will form a nucleus of fu
ture dog team emergency parties
ready to go at any call to the
relief of army planes that may
be forced down anywhere in the
Interior.
. The service will be not unlike
that maintained for many years
and right today in the Yukon by
the Canadian Mounted Police,
for relief and law enforcement.
The army dog team units will
become an invaluable adjunct to
the new army service in Alaska.
The Malemutes and Huskies
J again come into their own as
valued friends of men and factor
in the building and the safe
guarding of greater Alaska.
Tried and proved in many a
gruelling test they doubtless
will be equal to the all demands.
PACT FAILS TO ALARM
COLONIES OF EAST INDIES
BATAVIA, Dutch East Indies
—The Dutch colonial press said
the Dutch East Indies would nev
er accept leadership of any for
eign power and expressed the
general opinion the new pact
was a German “propaganda i
stunt” to cover up failure thus
| far to conquer Britain.
ABANDON BRITAIN IS
APPEAL MADE TO U. S.
(By Associated Press)
The United States is warned |
j by Italian commentators of the I
j bursting of her “myth of Ameri- j
i can power” and destruction of
j her army if the United States in
j tervenes in the Axis’ plans to re
! arrange the world.
Berlin, Tokyo and Rome news
papers are sprinkled with ap
peals to the United States to \
“cease the sense of responsibil
ity” and abandon Great Britain
to her fate. 1
