Ill saying a word of welcome to the delegates who
have come to attend the Democratic divisional convention
one might point out without taking sides at all that the
Democrats of Alaska this time seem to be the party of
union and dignity. So far no unseemly divisions have oc
curred in their ranks. Indeed in all their conventions and
meetings they present a smooth and unruflled front.
Their candidate for congress is the candidate of all of
them and their delegates are freely chosen and freely
permitted to record their choice. 1 his is the way all Al
aska parties should be, and in welcoming the prominent
Democratic representatives to Seward today Seward peo
ple of all parties feel that they are welcoming men who
are worthy opponents or comrades to be proud of.
Somehow it feels impossible to write in an editorial
/Column of a Seward paper today without saying some
thing about the sad news that came from the steamship
Alaska yesterday. A community like this cannot help but
feel the loss of one of its brightest presences. In the death
of Mrs. Whittemore the city has lost a little lady who sutl
ered bravely and who was the friend of everyone.
Seward is now drawing revenue from so many sources
that it is probably the healthiest city in Alaska, even at
present. Within the past few days its streets have been
tilled with hundreds of visitors from steamers while the
greater part of its own population is busy drawing
salaries out of sight along the railroad.
The deportation of S. S. McClure, the publisher, trom
Great Britain is a peculiar occurrence. McClure has al
ways been on the side of the Allies but after a trip to
Europe he tried to give the real facts about the conditions
over there. No doubt, real facts are the least desirable in
this war,

(Special to Gateway by United Press)
NEW YORK. July 21. - An over
seas aeroplane service between
Europe and America and veritable
aeroplane armies in the clouds on
European battlefields are expected by
a French aerial expert who talked
ubout the probability today to materi
alize within the present year. He
pointed to the trip of the giant sub
marine from Germany to Raltimote
as justification for what might other
wise be termed a wild guess.
“There are going to be flock; of
aeroplanes used on both sides and
aerial battles, with aeroplane armies.
will become important features
»»*■ the g* eat war.” said he.
"How to transport guns and am
munition by air is a matter that is
receiving expert attention now. Aero
planes are being used that can ca'vy a
live hundred pound bomb and they are
so steady and safe that when the
bomb i> dropped the pitot does not
note any lightening of the load. To
he able to transport light cannon in
this way from one part of the line to
another would be a tremendous ad
vantage and it is safe to prophesy
that this will be done before long.”
"Clouds of aeroplanes are going to
darken the sky before the war is over,
I and some of them will be huge air
transports in overseas commerce. The
aeroplanes has only begun to be
used."

\ I:Ml RE WORRIES
hrirrm-M \m each rers
BALTIMORE, Mr., July 21. — The
giant l',-Boat Deutschland, which
made history by cruising from tier
many to this port with a $700,000;
cargo of merchandise, is schedule 1 t»>
start back to Germany soon with a
cargo <it badly needed supplies for
the Fatherland.
If. as the promoters of the com
mercial company that built the
Deuischland claim, this is on’y tlu
beginning of undersea commerce be
tween the two countries, the British
blockade not only has been per
mamently pierced, but Great Britain
faces a crisis in her commercial ex
port trade, according to what is being
said and done in London.
Some time before the Deutschland
at rived at this port, the merchants
and manufacturers of England were
frightened by the seemingly authentic
report that Germany had stored up
$1,800,000,000, or nearly two billion
dollars worth of goods ready to dump
on the markets of the world after the
war. The Britishers organized at
once the Association of Trade Protect
ive societies, with 50,000 members
and adopted a resolution urging the
government to help head oft* the flood
of Hermans good through the estab
lishment and operation of a Ministry
of Commerce.
Should the undersea commerce ven
ture of Hermany, while the war still
is in progress, prove practical on a
big scale. Ungland will be powerless
to crush the Teutonic commercial
competition and will ,it is believed,
face a serious situation in dealing
with her world markets, particularly
after the war and somewhat immedi
ately.
