Alaska is now rapidlv assuming deliuiie

SUUl'l'fS
For v ears thi- l -.n Xorthkind. a
land teeming with inealcul tide poten
tialities and piissi-ssing a grandeur ho
superlative* in its erlwurd aspects as
i" be beyond . <*mpaiv. has remained a
veritable tierra hicugniti t*» the world.
X«'»t until the hand "f venturesome'
man had riven its majestic buskin, dis
closing to the eves of an astonished
world a store • »f wealth so vast as to
tie beyond conception, did the startled
world realize that here was i wonder
land whose peer was h »rdi> i • he
found And. even then, beta use . f its
remoteness from the beaten path*, the
world knew not that it was "Lav than
frozen waste. \\ :■ pped in desolate
and overwhelming solitude, which, to
enter, dared the loij'up of even the
hardiest With tie revelations f the
passing years the earlier id as have
been somewhat dissipated, yet. despite
ti e efforts of those who .ought t<> tell,
the world has little knowledge of the
truth concertTinfi This gr«*at domain.
To the average person .it is still an
awesome mystery, a frozen tr: gem
land beyond the moon.
With the promised influx of tourists,
the real facts concerning Alaska will
he disseminated and. into tho e chan
nels where the knowledge of sia h facts
will be of the utmost benefit t<> the
country The people who will form by
far the largest part of the prospective
sightseers will be of the leisured
classes; in part of those whom the
present war has diverted from the
customary pilgrimage t<* Europe, and
it is to such, thus** possessed of ample
means, that the peoples **f the territory
must preforce look for the further and
future development of its resources.
Vim to .1 proper understanding <»f its
possibilities the country requite cap
ital. and without which it will continue
to languish indefinitely Situation In
life considered, almost each and every
one of the promised sightseers is a
potential Investor or '■** at lead in a
position to Influence by his -mpres
sjons of the possibilities of investment,
those who are in like situation with
himself
Let them come. We nerd them, and
•he more of them we »an attract to
our shores just so much more will the
hanecs ..f benefit he increased That
a f Seward Peninsula should share
in some degree in those chances* is
hardly to be doubted. The greatest
• bstacle t*> he overcome before we can
■ en hope to benefit from the coming
• if these birds of passage lies in the
•* t that we do not possess the udvan
1 ages of our Southeastern neighbors in
1 » line of topographical attractions
Seward Peninsula is little known ami
. s few features of interest to draw
he tourist to our shores, y t. such as
a • have arc delightfully unique and. to
b"Se who are not like ourselves, hab
ituated. so to say would probably be »»f
tl-sorbing interest
It is a gni d guess to say that if \v<*
.hi induce the tourists to extend their
• urney to our own kindly disposed
shores, he or she will fed themselves
amply rewarded in seeing the very un
usual features which \v» have t<» offer
The strange and bizarre frequently
appeals more than the colossal ly
sublime and besides we should not be
I
over nice in our distinctions of what
the tourists want.
However, as hefore remarked if. we
are to share in the possible benefits of
their, coming we must first find way s
and means to induce them to come
\dvert using seems the oniy way to
secure this result, heme, if we seek to
profit by what is offered us. it is up to;
us to literally employ the nflyi hods sue

GERMANY'S STRONG- POSITIONI
The remarkable ability displayed by
tile German forces in holding their own
in the face of such Overwhelming odds
as have been brought to bear agaln9t
'them lias forced a more general con
sideration of the real reason for Ger
many's seemingly invulnerable power
Some statements giving a clearer un
derstanding of the subject are con
tained in an editorial published In tin
I special yvar issue of the Scientific
| American of Sept, a, 1914. which covers,
' every technical phase of military oper
] ations both on sea and land The
j following pertinent extracts are taken
I from the article:
The seemingly overwhelming num
| hers of the Triple Entente are greatly
(offset by the fact that Germany holds
! n unusually strong stratagetic posi
! i Ion both >n land and sea, and that
whereas her armies are of a common
race, speaking a common language,
'he enemy is composed of three races,
speaking no language in common, and
j differing widely in tastes, temperment.l
nd traditions
iif enourmous advantage to Germany j
is the fact that the geography of the
naval and military situation is such
that she is planted squarely between
her major enemies, France and Russia,
and so long as she can command the
; Baltic, it is impossible for those coun
tries to affect a joint concentration of
their troops in overwhelming numbers
upon either frontier.
In the event of German reverses and
the failure ,,f tier invasion of France,
she would fall back upon her line of
frontier fortifications, taking up a
strong defensive position, and hurl the
bulk of her armies against the enroll
ing tide of Russian invasion If this
should he the course of events the
Germans would settle down to a war
• if defense which \dght last ' >r two nr
three years, and end in th- contestants
fighting each other to the point of utter!
• xhaustion There is no reason to he- !
ieve that rhe German of the twen
tieth century has lost any of the
powers of recuperation and dogged re
sistance which carried him through the
seven years of war under the great
Frederick.
