MUST DIVIDE ALASKA.
;■ the present legislature teaches
lesson above all others, it is the
essity of the territory being di
ed, the First and Third divisions
constitute one section and the See
1 and Fourth another division.
■Either that or the electorate should
according to population, and not
Vial representation by district. The
^graphical difficulties are such that
representatives from the interior
‘d those from the coast sections will
ver be able to agree on legislation,
least that has been the case in
|e present legislature. The trouble
that the conditions which exist on
e coastal belt and those which ex
it in the interior are so diametrically
iposed that no general act can.
■emingly be passed which will do
flstice to both alike. Either the coast
i belt must be sacrificed for the in
prests of the interior, or vice versa.
Ls it is now, the First and Third di
isions, which have the largest pop
• datum and greatest permanent de
veloped properties, are being made
?the “goat” by the other divisions.
This condition cannot always obtain
without serious injury to industrial
development. Either a common
ground must be found upon which the
legislators from the interior and
coastal divisions can agree and play
fair with each other, or else they
must finally elect to go their separate
ways and divide the territory accord
ing to natural physical and geograph
ical lines.—Juneau Dispatch.
“WALK SOFTLY AND SPEAK
LOW.”
In Berlin there is a place whereat
all hours of the day you can see in
a grim spectacle the stark underside
of the war.
It was already dark one afternoon
when I came to a building of red
brick which had been the old war
academy. As I climbed the broad
stone stairs inside, two women in
black were coming down, and one was
supporting the other, who was sob
bing violently. On the floor above I
found a lofty chamber, with lead-col
ored columns at either end and pic
tures of Prussian heroes upon the
walls and ceiling. Although this hall
was crowded, all was strangely hush
ed and still. Upon a placard on one
wall was written in heavy letters,
•'Walk softly and speak lotv.”
Down the center of the hall ran
a long semi-circular counter, behind
which sat many elderly clerks, most
of them in black frock suits. And
facing this counter in rows of chairs,
several hundred men and women,
tense and silent, motionless as though
at some gripping tragedy, sat wach
ing a great red curtain at one end
of the chamber. This curtain was
restless, never still. Every few mo
ments it leaped apart as a messen
ger came quickly in. Then a name
would be called out, and some man
or woman would jump up and go to
the counter, would stand there rigid,
listening. Here Germany learns of
her dead.
Forty-five hundred hospitals report
ed to this place each week, all pour
ing in the details which in scores of
busy rooms men and girls by hun
dreds, writing and typewriting, copy
ing, comparing, checking, classifying
with Prussian precision, were build
ing up into neat little typewritten
tales, which on postcards every day
were sent out by the thousands to
German towns and villages, to be
read by wives and mothers.
From every town and village, too,
came a daily stream of inquiries, all
of which were answered at once. It
is a part of this uncanny, miraculous
German system. It saves German
wives and mothers long, terrible
weeks of waiting for news, and so
helps to keep up the nation’s strength,
its courage and endurance.—Schnecta
dy Union-Star.

bassee and as a result the British
forces have moved forward and now
occupy some of the trenches which
yesterday were in the hands of the
enemy. The Germans lost heavily.
The advance was made without great
loss of life to the British infantry as
the big field guns were massed and
a terrific fire directed on the German
line and the infantry drove home a
desperate charge and captured the
first line. The German barbed wire
entanglements were literally torn to
pieces by the artillery fire of the Eng
lish.
