WAR NEWS
You may have noticed while reading
outside newspapers that there is not
us much war news as formerly. This
is due to the tremendous expense the
press associations are put to by the
enormously extended battle fronts in
Europe to which has been added the
long Mexican border where men have
to be kept as something may begin to
pop at any minute, and to the great
■Increase in cable tolls.
The greatest Jump in expense has
been in cable tolls. During the first
year of the all press matter was
sent from London at the Western Un
ion press rate of seven cents a word,
or the Commercial Company’s rute of
ten cents a word, and where formerly
news feature was generally sent via
the Western Union ’deferred’ rate of
five cents a word, it is now necessary
to ’full rate' every news disaptch with
a time value—at a cost of 5 cents a
wordd. These full rate'cables require
from two to four hours’ transmission
—just about the same time formerly
required bj ordinary press cables.
"Every bit of competitive news must
now be tiled ’full rate’—twenty live
cents a word. This applies to London
and London is the big clearing house
of European news.
"The French cable company has sim
ply abandoned entirely its former
press rate of ten cents a word for
transmission from Paris to New York.
The minimum is now twenty live cents
a word, and on this type of cable al
most any delay in transmission is to
be handled 'urgent'—thirtyo-ne cents
a word—to insure speedy delivery.
"All press associations handle the
bulk or their Berlin news by tele
c.thlc to London, and then with a re
ining to New York. The German cable
graph to Holland, by cross channel
before it was cut at the outset of the
i.ai, transmitted stuff at a press rate
in seven cents a word. The German
wireless now handles a very few
stories at twenty five cents a^word,
plus a land charge of a cent and a
half a word from Sayvllle to New
York, but because of its own needs
the German government permits only
the briefest dispathes, and the most
important, to be filed in this manner.
"Therefore nearly all Berlin stuff
arrives in New York at a cost of
about thirty-four cents a word—four
cents from Berlin to Holland, five
cents from Holland to London, and
twenty five cents from London ot New
York.
“The Italian cables are notoriously
slow, and full rating at thirty eight
cents a word, is necessary to insure
any sort of delivery.”
AUTHORITY TO ORGANIZE
ALASKA GUARD GRANTED
By an act passed by congress and
approved on June 13, 1916, by Presi
dent Woodrow Wilson, Governor J. F.
A. Strong, is authorized to organize
several companies of national guard In
the territory of Alaska.
The act passed is "for making fur
ther and more effectual provisions for
the natloual defense and for other
purposes," and includes Alaska, Ha
waii, Porto Hico, and the canal zone.

tricts and territories shall receive their

TO GET THE GOLD
WE MUST HAVE ROADS
And to get the roads we must show
that we must have them. The need
for good transportation facilities il
lustrated by word and picture in the
Pictorial edition of the Nugget Mining
and Dredging Journal, how In course of
preparation, Is one of the features of
the publication and a copy mailed to
the congressman of your home state
or some other person of influence will
help in getting them. Send in your
subscription now. If you cannot use a
dozen, take a half doz6n. If you can’t
use that number take less but do not
forget to help the movement by send
ing at least one where it will do some
Bood.
! A certified copy of the act has been
received by Governor Strong but no
other word from either the war de
j partmcnt or the president has been re
, civod by him.
The number ox men to be enlisted
in the national guard of the territor
ies shall be determined by the presi
j dnt, and until some word is received
■ from Washington, nothing can be done
j towards the organization of the Alas
ka natioual guard.
There has been a demand for a na
tional guard organization in Alaska
for some time, but under the old regu
lation it was impossible. When Gover
nor Strong was east this summer he
urged that Alaska be included in the
preparedness bit then being prepared
by Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon,
and bis request was granted. As soon
as the appropriations have been appor
tioned between the states and terri
UiricM, a mil lie numerical strength of
the. guard of Alaska is determined,
undoubtedly Governor Strong will be
authorized to proceed with the organi
zation.
Governor Strong has said that the
law as passed provides for the organ
ization of the national guard and that
he is only awaiting the word from
Washington to proceed.
