ta why the war in Europe raised the

pedigree. Every uow aud then the
best ianuly tree will bear a uut, us
some philosopher has remarked.
While so many insidious devices for
raising the price of food are being
Investigated some one should not for
get to look into the hole In the dough
uut.
An estimate of the unknown is often
tinged by hope, but the known fact
is pretty sure to take away all hope
from at least one half of those on
the afticia! ballot, for a couple of years
at least.
Those who saw the Deutschland at
the Dream on Sunday night can't h“tp
ie.iuig better acquainted with the
sturdy little ship and her crew The
moving picture probably shows the
spectator more of the submarine :ind
her crew than was seen by any man
in Baltimore who did not have passes
and special opportunities to come near
her. Of course the pictures were al
lowed to be taken for a purpose and
that purpose has been achieved when
millions of Americans have seen the
Him reproductions and admired the
ship and her crew and thought about
the ingenuity that devised her and
the courage and skill that brought her
across the Atlantic. Captain Koenig
as shown on the screen Is a friendly
looking little man. Indeed he seems a
Jolly, lovable, and loving chap, the kind
whom children would tike to play
with and who would like to play with
them. His face showed no signs of
nerve racking days and nights, weeks
on end, beyond a thinness which may
be natural The fellow who stood
along side him on his right looks as
if he had drunk a hunderd barrels
of beer in the preceding month but
the captain had the look of a man
who had not drunk any beer In all
his life, he was thin and active. In
deed one would judge by his appear
ance that a friendly schnapps on oc
casion would be his hunt. Captain
Koenig with that modest, friendly
smile cannot help making friends
wherever he appears.
And now having seen the Deusch
iand, her captain and crew, we shaU
feel a more personal Interest In the
news of her stilling from New I,.in
don for Bremen laden with mall, stats
dispatches, chemicals, rubber and
metals for the fatherland. As the
Nugget stated yesterday In a dts
ptah from New York the far-seeing
Jerrnan admiralty had stationed at
.lie point where the Deutschland miisi
■cure American waters a war sub
marine to uct as a convoy across the
illnntle. Who knows but what the
war diver Is to Impersonate tho mer
chant diver by Intent and be ottered
up as a willing sacrifice, If need be,
.n order to enable the richly laden
ship come safely to port? Who knows
what perils are to be undergone to
bring the medicines and the rest of
ihe cargo, almost priceless to Car*
uiany, to the horns port? One may
•a t want Uermany to have her will .n

mpty phrases.
A SUGGESTION.
The uuprecedtnedly large number of
>.i sous who have perished on Alaska
rails and m remote districts during
fie past winter, especially la the
■ orthwesteru portion and on the S»w
•rd peninsula, suggests that there
. ught to be some means of minimus -
ng these pituul tragedies of the north,
dost of them appear to have occurrvv.
lose to human habitations, and in
.tuny instances the victims were
.nown to have been in the trail; In
.her cases the unfortunates could
ave been u.d d had a regular trail
have been aided had a regular trail
. ...rol been maintained.
I ncle Sum maintains in Alaska
.undreds of husky men in practical
.dienes*. There never luis been a
..aistuctoiy answer to the question as
o »hy army posts were maintained
ii the various sections of the> tern*
ory. it is safe to say that these men
•votild welcome duty thut would take
— ——
stead of wasting their time in idleness
rout month to month In barracks.
With the force of soldiers constant!)
■ laintained lu the territory there
.ould he an opportunity for the or
. misation of the most effective trail
patrol imaginable.
Why does not some “constructive
statesman" in the war department
utak through the enveloping red tape
sufficiently to give these soldiers a
useful task to perform, and at the
same time furnish a measure of pro
ctiou to the hardy fellows who are
pioneering the work of bringing the
wilderness under man's subjection?
The press of the territory continues
’.o publish lists of murders that have
been committed in Alaska for which
| no one has been brought to the bar
1 of Justice. With a trail patrol of
several hundred men working in con
junction with the civil authorities
there would be Uttle chance for the
perpetrator of a crime to escape from
the territory.
It is probable that the utilising of
the soldier for this purpose often has
been suggested, and the many objec
tions and difficulties pointed out; but
there is no reason why it should not
be reiterated until the authorities tlnd
some way of furnishing protection to
travelers in the northland.—Iditarod

THE NATIONAL SPORT,
The aggregate gate receipt* and at
tendance m the live baseball games
of the worlds series Illustrate the
public interest in the contests .and the
very great hold the sport has on the
national life. If to the tigures of at
| tendance be added the number o;}
j those who stood in front of bulletin
I boards in the cities of the country
I and followed the progress of the game,
play by play, the total would run into
: he millions. The annual October strug
i i<le for world honors Is the classic
i of American sports.

accommodated 102,359 people In the
(lvo games, ami average of 32,472 nt
each game. The gross receipts were
$385,59(\ nn average of $77,120 for
each game. Each club owner gath
ered $92,000 prollt. The national com
mission received $38,559 for its official
service. Each player in the victor
ious Boston club recived $3,910 for his
live day’s work. Each Brooklyn play
er recelvod $2,S34. It is ft remarkable
record.
Aside from the grout honor prlzo nt
Issue in the champtnshlp games the
dnnnclal prize Is very alluring. The
ndlvldun! player’s share in the world s
lerles Is nn honorarium exceeding the
average annual salary paid by the
longue clubs.
For this reason, If for no other, tho
s' arons contests In the two big leagues
are for “blood." Sixteen clubs, at the
beginning of the season , have a
chance for the great prize, and It
makes every game a championship
contest.
Though Brooklyn lost tho prize,
the nccompllshement of Manager Rob
inson was most able In bringing an ag
gregation of comparatively obscure
players Into the final contest. Robin
sons team, those who were secured
from other clubs, cost him less than
$20,000,| Under the circumstances the
showing of the club was remarkable.
