NOME, ALASKA, JAN. 17, 191.7
The entente powers are holding
another 3ecret war council .this time
at London. It would be easier for 'he
poor writers of the press if the entente
leaders were not so secretive.
And Villa now bus the nerve to ask
President Wilson if he is disposed
to recognize the bandit as the pro
visional head of a new government
in northern Mexico, if Mr. Wilson
survives this shock hi3 nerves and
heart may safely be pronounced very
sound and welL
Now that the supreme court has
declared the validity or our territorial
taxes on canneries, mines, and so on,
and Alaska is assured of an annual
Income of half a million or more, it
would be well to keep an eye oat,
for the entrance of the professional
politician into Alaskan life. The best
treatment for him, as for the pesky
fly, is to swat him.
Compulsory arbitration which a few
years ago was heralded in Canada
as the sure specific for all labor trou
bles U none too popular therp at
present and now it seems to have
been turned down by the senate of
the United States, Strikes may be
brd for business and a poor way of
obtaining what the workers consider
their Just due3 but they really seem
to be the best weapon yet devised
for the use of the employed to better
their condition. To take away the
right to strike would be only an
other link in the enslavement n?
workingmen. On its face it would
be comparable to taking all fire arms
away from the American colonists
Just previous to 1775. If this compul
sory arbitration bill was one of Mr.
Wilson's pet measures as stated then
it is certa.nly well to question his
judgment. This bill and the Adam
son law would not yoke well to
gether .
In view of the many prophecies,
pjedlctiocs, forecasts, promises and
assurances that the allies are going
t> institute a sort of campaign of
construct.on around the central pow
ers early next 3prlng, It is curious
to note that some of the war critics
have divined that Germany's counter
move would be an invasion of Greece.
London now hears and believes that
the Germanj are already • preparing
for this Incursion and havs withdrawn

British suspicion seems well grounded.
Kalkenhaj n hus not been mentioned
ot late m disaptches relating to the
war in Kouiuama. He may very well
have gone uoivn through Bulgaria or
Servla to the Salonika line ot battle.
Indeed to judge by dispatches of the
last week or two he did not go alone.
It Is not Impossible that he has taken
with Mm MWTkl divisions of seasoned
veterans. The reason tor this belief
Is that the German advance has slow
ed up very appreciably of late after
many weeks ot consistent and un
varying progress. This may reason
al ly be attnbu.ed to u strengthening
of the KussoKoumuman defence **
their lino has shortened, or to the
ulirval of heavy reinforcements from
Russia. On the other hand, it may
be accounted for even more easily
b> these two facts in conjunction
with the withdrawal of considerable
numbers of Germanic troops for use
elsewhere. All of which is purely
conjecture and is of little value one
way or the other except as it gives
play to the imagination. The expert*
referred to are only on-lookers at the
gnme. The real players are about
to do what they will do. It is grati
f j ir.g. liowe>er to be able to make
a close approximation, now or then,
as to what the master military minds
will do. That la reality is one of
.he mam purposes of a general in the
field- to jut-gues* his opponent. Tt
is into ran l.g to wait and see if tho
predicted descent on Greece will ma
terialize.
The Juneau Empire has broached
the question of a division of Alaska
into I ui congressional district* :na
has been echoed by other coa3t pi
t<is. The reasons for the division
ate rather indefinitely stated to be
ti.it tho ccast sections are increas
ing lapil.v in population while the
interior civisions by which la m°ant
the second and fourth are either
standing 3till or retrograding, and
secondly a dissnniliarity of geograph
ic, climatic, and industrial conditions.
These arc cogent reasons to a cer
tain extent, for the coast and Interior
certainly have different interests,
different ambitions, and different
needs. Two delegates In congress
each representing a compact consti
tuency is certainly to be desired. But
will not Alaska have to increase her
population considerably before she is
entitled to a second congressional del
egate?
