SEWARD, ALASKA, TUESDAY, MARCH 7, 1916.
In one of the latest issues of ‘Life’* the cover is made up of a supposed
map of the United States after it had been conquered by Germany and all
the places had received German names. As a come back **lhe fatherland,
the paper published in New York to support the German cause, has a map
of the United States after having been conquered by Britain. Both of them
are humorous but with j>oint withal. The "Life map showed a little reser
vation in which all Americans were internet! like Indians and ‘The father
land” had the same little reservation for the same purpose. Both maps had
the west coast taken by Japan, and the whole thing rather shows up how
empty are both sides really of any belie: 'hat any nation can come and take
the United States. We all know that even the United States, right close to
its home base, would have some difficulty in taking Mexico and would have
much more trouble in holding it, and how much greater difficulty then would
p.ny far olf nation have in conquering the United States and holding itThe
two papers arc joking, nothing else, and the whole thing about being in
vaded and conquered looks like so much rot. What the b nited States really
wants is an immense fleet to protect its interests on the ocean. There is no na
tion within thousands of miles able to tackle the United States and no na
tion separated thousands of miles from this could ever hope to land great
armies here. How many shins would it take to land a million men ami their
supplies? And how many warships would it take to cover their landing
against land forts? No great nation could have more hope of coming and
vanquishing the United States than the United States could have of going
over and tackling two nations like Germany and Austria, for instance, whose
combined population is not much more than the population of this country.
The Railway and Marine News, published at Seattle, once .more warns
people against buying lots at Seward unless they carefully study conditions
first. This is the second time Mr. Kerr has warned in this manner and one
can hardly understand why. He is probably moved by perfectly good inten
tions. It is the natural impulse with all of us to give good advice but why
should the Seattle publication warn the public against Seward and Anchor
age real estate sharks and grafters? It is quite possible that one might find
a real estate shark or two in the Spirit City. There have been some Al
askans who took money from Alaska to Seattle, they say, and who never
brought it back. If an Alaska paper warned people about buying lots in
Seattle that paper would at once be boycotted on Puget Sound. But surely
it stands to reason that people of sense will not buy lots without knowing

what they arc buying unless they take a sporting chance with a negligible |
amount of money, and what would be the difference between taking a sport
; ing chance here and taking it in The Garden of Eden, ye gods, near Lake .
Washington? Owing to the fact that the editor of the Railway and Marine
News has been associated with a certain company words like those now used
by him invite atttacke on that company by nincompoops. He is undoubtedly
desirous of saying what he believes to be right, but that does not make it ^
right, anil really his missionary work might begin at home. Seattle people j
have been too fond in the past of interfering with matters which arc essenti

NOME MAN KILLED
A shocking accident occurred in
Nome last Wednesday in Reed’s ma
chine shop which resulted in the
death of Leo Watkin, a machinist.
Ho had been engaged in tapping a
hole in a tank in which gas been us

ing the hole he struck a match to see
the result of his work. The explos

Watkin, as it threw him against the

The tank was blown through the
