NOME, ALASKA, FEB 4, 1916.
The complete failure of the latest
German drive against the western
front again suggests that both sides
have now become so firmly planted In j
their several positions that there is1
small probability of either being able
to budge the other to any considerable
extent. Time and again the German
battering ram has been flung ugainst
the allied lines and the allies have
retaliated, In at least one instance,
with the full might of their forces. In
each case the results have been prac
tically nil A few yards of trench, a
commanding hill, or the possession of
a shot torn village, have been the sole
results of the mighty artillery bom
bardments and the whirlwind charges
of the opposing hosts. Nothing more
In each case the losses In killed and
wounded have been tremendous and
in no degree commensurate with the
gains. Each yard of captured trench
has been won at a fearful sacriflcK (
and every rod of soil has been paid for
with a hundred human lives. It now
commences to look ns If the battle
lines will relapse Into armed cam] s
while the final reckoning Is drawn on
other fields.
And now look what has "done gone
and happened.” Seward Is out, armed
cap-a-pie, with banners waving and
the throttle wide open for the purpose
of going the governor one better In
the matter of military preparedness
by asking for the establishment of a
fortified military base on Resurrection
hay and for the Immediate construc
tion fat or near Seward) of such fa
cilities as will enable the battleships

la available Going some! Isn’t It"
Yes slree! Seward and her chamber
of commerce are right onto their Jobr
and know how to make the grass grow
when the weather la dry. Seward
knows very well that the business of
opening the coal fields Is largely ani
mated by the needs for a government
coaling station on the Pacific and also
knows that such a station would In
evitable he fortified when once estab
lished. We believe such a project was
long ago discussed in connection with
the opening of the coal fields Rut, all
this will take time. If the usual pro
ceedure Is followed, and It might be
years before there was even a hint
of fortifications, and guns and tha
other et ceteras necessary to a prop

AFTER THE WAR.
iCleveland Leader.)
One of the perils the leaders of
leaders of American labor organiza
:Ions fear is that after the war there
will be a great rush to this country
of refugees from hard conditions of
life and the scenes of ruin and sorrow
in Europe. They think that great
numbers of wage earners turned loose
from immense armies will manage
in some way to get across the ocean
and seek opportunity to earn a living
it. the I'nited States.
This danger may never become more
than an apprehension. The theory that
millions of men turned adrift from the
armies of Europe will be in desperate
need of employment njfter the war
ends rests upon uncertain foundations
It is beyond doubt -that Europe will
be in urgent need of doing a vast
amount of work in rebuilding and
clearing away the wreckage of war
Ii is certain that there will be tre
mendous tasks for all the countries
nvclved in the war in setting things
n order for the business of peace. And
» Is also evident that there will be a
•cry .'real shortage of able bodied men
n proportion to the total population
Europe will be sadly lacking In capital
and also in labor.
I’nder such circumstances it may be
"ound that emigration from most of
the great countries of Europe will
fall far short of some earlier records
U is by no means certain that there
will lie an extraordinary movement of
wage earners from Europe to America
CONDEMNS BRITISH CENSORSHIP
New York Independent.
When the war began, It yvas under
stood that the censor was employed
'or the laudable purpose of preventing
'.lie Germans from knowing what we
were about and what preparations we
bad made.
It soon became a machine for screen
ing political and other blunders. It
has hidden from our people and from
the world generally many splendid
leeds our men have accomplished
deeds of which the enemy full well
knows the weight. On the other hand
t has concealed from us misfortunes
Itnown to the Germans, and to the
Americans and all other neutrals.
I am entirely In favor of a censor
ship. I know well what happened In
the Franco-Prussian war by the leak
ige of military information through
the press. Several unfortunate inci
dents Involving the death of men tiavf
resulted In this war through the leak
age of military Information. But the
British censorship has become a means
by which the public has been chloro
formed into the belief that the task
before us Is comparatively easy.—
Lord Northcliffe.

PIRATES PLAY NIFTY GAME

First half of the fourth A simple
tale, my masters: and for the sake
of convenience We’ will put It down
this way:
C. Loman fanned
McMillan fanned
Powell fanned
But it wasn't that way with the
wldlers for they annexed six more
ind batted Buddy clean out of the
box when It came their turn. Thf
defenders had Lehmann's number
chalked up In red and his curvlest
curve was good jfor a two bagger
every time it come within batting
llstnnce of the fort strikers. They
Anally called Bud out and sent Miller
*o the slab for fear that the soldiers
might make a million. Miller did a
bit better with his slow ones, allowing
but three hits during the rerrmmderj
of the session, two two bagger« and;
i single. Hits 9. runs 0
In the fifth, the Lights were out for
murder but It was no use; Mlsh went
nit on a long fly to Hitch. Baird fouled
Hit to Nile and Buddy puBhed the air
three times.
The soldiers grabbed four more In
their half on 9ix hits and an error and
didn’t more than half try at that.
The Lights started out strong In
the plxth but failed to land more
than one tally. A. Lomen hit and
stole second, Heckel (lied out to Hitch
G .Lomen walked and stole second
while A1 went to third: C. Lomen
fanned. A double steal by the two
Lumen's brought down the house
chalked up the one score and gave the
Nome crowd the first chance to yell
It had found in four Innings. Miller
fanned and It was over. lilts 2, runs 1
The soldiers still had their batting
eye when their turn came and tore
off four more on eight hits, one a two
bagger, combined with a couple olf
errors.
There was very little chance for the
Lights when the seventh dawned, but
they came up like little majors but
Mr Ingle was still on the Job and the
curtain soon went down without any
further marks on the score board, aside
from a big round 0 done In Brother
Lillie's best style. Powell fann^l. Mlsh
fanned and Baird went out on a light
bounder to Frantzen. Final (score:
Fort Davis, 37, Northern Lights. 2.
Ratterles. Ingle and Nile: Lehmann
Miller and Lomen.
The game between the Pirates and
Horseshoes was good even If the tall -
enders did get another licking. They
played good ball and made by far the
best showing of the series. Their stick
work was poor, however, and a lack
of steady team work gave their op
ponents a victory that was well earn
ed. Consistent batting and clever base
running gave the Horseshoes six In
the first frame. The Pirates came back
with two. The Horseshoes took live
more in the second and followed with
a quartet of two's during the four
succeeding innings. The Pirates played
well but could not overcome their op
ponents lead.
The second saw three added to their
'1st, two An the third, one In the
'ourth and three In the fifth and sixth
making a total of fourteen which stood
until the finish. The Horseshoes got
busy In the seventh and It looked like
a rally for a minute or two but a
single was all they could land and the
game closed 14 to 20 In their favor.
