WAR NOT NEAR ENI)
The British war office is indulging in no optimistic
conjectures about the near ending of the war. Many of
the elder statesmen! expect at least another year of it.
“1 have no patience," says Major General Maurice, of
the Rritisn war office, “with the theory that Germany is
at the end of its lighting resources. Germany is capable
of and will put up a strong fight.
General Maurice believes that the 120,000,000 people
of the Teutonic alliance have unsuspected reserves ot
strength, and he sees no military reason why the wai
should not extend over another winter.
This year, however, should be decisive of certain
contingencies that will have to do with the final result.
Germany is od, with another harvest six i
months away, but it has tightened its belt and is facing j
the situation with some confidence. 1 he submarine cam-j
paign is expected to impose a similar condition upon Lug
land and upon the allied troops in l ranee. If this can be j
accomplished, tin n peace may come without victory to
either side.
The decision "f tlu* war may in* involved in the suc
cess or failure of the submarine campaign. There are;
still (>.000.000 men available for the army of Germany, j
though perhaps .'1,000,000 have been killed or disabled dui-;
ing the past thirty months. This, with ample food sup-1
plies, is a force f*>r any nation to reckon with. Rut peace
without victory would not satisty the allies, and it would j
leave the Balkan and Turkish questions unsettled and!
provocative ot other wars in the future. (Post Intelli
gencer.)

HERE TOO
The Pioneer has on previous occasions felt compelled!
to remark »n the unusual ‘cence of local mining men in i
reference to developments in this district. ihis is the
more remarkable bee*" » of the tact that when on the
outside they may be said to be volubly garrulous when in
terviewed ly newspaper men. Miners from whom not a
line of copy may be gleaned when at home otten furnish
stories to outside newspapers which make for the general
hilarity when reproduced by their favorite little home
weeklv. One guess onlv is allowed as to the reason for

“ALL TOGETHER”
Boost your city, boost your friend,
Boost the lodge that von attend.
Boost the street on which you re dwelling,
Boost the goods that you are selling.
Boost the people round about you.
They can get along without you,
But success will quicker find them
If they know that you’re behind them.
Boost for every forward movement,
Boost for every new improvement.
Boost the man for whom you labor,
Boost the stranger and the neighbor.
Cease to lie a chronic knocker.
Cease to lie a progress blocker.
If you’d make your city better.
Boost it to the final letter.

Representative Allan’s long experience as a ineniUn
of the Nome school hoard is standing him in good stead
in his laudable tight to provide the necessary funds to con
tinue the schools of the territory, at their present high
standard of efficiency, after the federal license money is
cut off by Alaska going dry on January 1 next.—(( ordova

Now that congress is about to convene in extra ses
sion, the filibustering members should be given a seat near
the door so that if they again attempt to resume their old
tactics an impatient public will be within easy reach of
them. This is no time for petty or party politics, and pa
triotism should be given full swing.—(Cordova 1 imes.)
Any nation that launches a ruthless campaign of inur- j
der and piracy on the high seas and then talks of “divine
