the War;

YOUNG BLOOD.
WHEN all the world la young, lad.
And all the trees are green.
And every goose a swan, lad.
And every lass a queen.
Then, hev. for boot and horse,
lad.
And round the world away;
Young blood must have its course, lad.
And every dog his day.
When all the world Is old, lad.
And all the trees are brown.
And all the sport Is stale, lad,
And all the wheels run down.
Come home and take your place there
The spent and maimed among.
God grant you find one face there
You loved when you were young!
-Kingsley.
ASPIRATION. ,
TO love for common ends Is to be com
mon.
The highest faith makes still the highest
man.
For we grow like the things that we be
lieve ,
And rise or sink as we aim high or low.
No mirror shows such likeness of the face
As the faith we live by of the heart and
mind.
We are In very truth that which we love.
And love, like noblest deeds. Is bojn o'
faith. -Browning
A SINGLE GENERALISSIMO
The controversy over the Versailles
supreme war council leads to the
question whether the allies ultimate
ly will select some man to be com
mander-in-chlef of all the allied forces
on the Western front. The develop
ments at present trend toward a
greater centralization of authority in
the council representing the various
allies and if the war does not reach
the climax this year it is probable one
military mind will direct operations
thenceforth.
The speech of Premier Lloyd
George in the house recently in
which the retirement of General Rob
ertson, chief of the British staff and
one of Britain’s foremost military
men. disclosed that the Versailles con
ference unanimously favored a strong
central authority to co-ordinate the
strategy of the allies. The weakness
of the entente’s operations In the past
was largely due to the lack of a con
certed plan. In fact, Lloyd George
made the startling statement a few
weeks ago that Serbia was crushed
because the allied powers were so en
grossed in their individual problems
the needs of Serbia were overlooked.
It transpires that the United States
was the most powerful advocate of
centralized military authority as a
means of winning the war. Lloyd
George says this country's argument
on the point was advanced with "Ir
resistible power and logic,” and the
other nations represented coincided
in the American viewpoint. President
Wilson and his advisers have strong
ly counselled a centralization of ef
fort in order to meet the German ma
chine, which dominates the Teutonic
allies. As the British premier says,
the logic of this position is over
whelming.
History shows that alliances in Eu
rope, formed to crush a growing men
ace to the continent, placed their
military plans on more than one oc
casion in the hands of a single lead
er. If the present war develops a mili
tary genius—such, for example, as
Marlborough—he should be given ab
solute authority regardless of nation
j allty. The supreme object is to win
| the war, let the glory fall where it
j may.
■ *■’——
PRESIDENT Wilson and Premier
Lloyd George disagree widely on the
prospects of a separate peace with
Austria-Hungary. The president says
the dual monarchy's attitude Is such
that a basis of discussions would be
possible were that country not still
under the kaiser’s military fist, and
even with that contingency to face
he apparently believes there is a pos
sibility of a separate peace. Lloyd
George concedes Austria’s concilia
tory attitude but declares that Count
Czernln’s apparent concessions exist
in word and not in substance. It ap
pears to be a question of interpreta
tion, coupled with such knowledge as!
the allies can obtain of what Is going j
on under the cover of secrecy in Aus-1
tria. So far as the question of inter-1
preting the Austrian foreign minis
ter’s speech is concerned, Lloyd
George appears to have the better of!
the argument.

CHAS. A. SULZER
Candidate For Re-election
As
DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
From Alaska
*'In deciding to enter the primaries aa a candidate for Delegate to
Congress from Alaska, I feel Impelled to make a brief statement to
the people of the territory. It Is now nearly a year since I was seated
In the House as Alaska’s representative to congress. During the most
of this time the United States has been engaged In a world war, and
every resource of the nation. Including money and man power Is be
ing devoted to the single purpose of winning this great war. Every
member of congress In considering legislation for the nation, has
placed the country’s war needs above all needs and requirements and
has subordinated his desires to the military establishment of the
United States.
“Alaska has responded nobly to the nation’s call. She has given
her share willingly and unstlntlngly. When the democratic party
went before the people of Alaska In November, nineteen sixteen, It
stood for a certain constructive program which embodied as Its prin
cipal elements a wider measure of home rule for the territory, and a
sane and rational policy In the development of natural resources and
every possible aid to the pioneers of the country.
“I have Introduced among others the following bills in congress
which I am pressing for passage as opportunity affords:
"Granting Alaska full territorial form of government witn nome
rule the dominating principle.
"Regulating the fisheries Of Alaska along lines that will be fair
to all, and the protection of the salmon supply from depletion.
"Making changes In the homestead laws by abolishing the eighty
rod reservation.
"Authorizing free surveys of homesteads In Isolated sections.
"Changing the game laws so as to give the people a better oppor
tunity to use the game of the country without Its being slaughtered.
"Extending the federal farm loan act to Alaska.
“Providing for the care of Alaska's Insane within the territory.
“At all times I have endeavored to keep constantly In mind the
needs of the territory and the people of the territory. In spite of the
war Bomo measure of progress has been achieved. I have assisted Jg. .t
passing a law which helped the prospector by suspending assessment
work on claims during the years nineteen seventeen and nineteen
eighteen. The extension of the Wireless and cable system In Alaska has
been accomplished with bright prospects for a further extension.
"Recognition has been forced for Alaska In the matter of appoint
ments to the second series of training camps for officers. Contracts
which prevented the farmers of the Interior from supplying army
posts with their vegetables are cancelled.
“Suggestions and requests that I again go before the people of
si..k. bave come to me from Alaskans all over the territory. Reit
erating my desire to serve the best Interests of Alaska I am submit
ting my name as a candidate for the democratic nomination for
Delegate to Congress."
