Now that the German submarine has finally arrived
the feat must be regarded as the beginning of a new
epoch. If undersea travel could be made general the day
of blockades would be dead. 'What is very remarkable in
the story of the arrival of the submarine is the fact that
she was able to carry a cargo of seven hundred and fifty
tons of freight in addition to the supplies for her own mo
tive power and for her crew*. Just imagine a vessel with
that capacity submerging and traveling three thousand
miles while the greatest fleet in the world was watching
for her and y*ou have a picture of a very extraordinary
event. Of course the l nited States will not prevent hoi
from loading as traveling under the water does not make
her a warship, and when she starts on the homeward trip
with British warships waiting outside the three mile limit
to catch her we shall have an event to watch that is well
worth living to see.
In a few months Seward will be the gateway for an
immense amount of travel whatever progress the railroad
will make or will not make. First of all, there are several
thousands of additional people in the districts north of us
this year. Those are the people brought in by the railroad
work. Many others from interior Alaska who would take
some other winter route to the outside will now be tempt
ed to come this way to see the developments. But it is
quite possible that the greatest Seward travel of all will
be created by the strike in the Tolstoi. It that strike is
anything like as good as it was reported to be there ought
to be hundreds and hundreds of stampeders this way.
Seward is easily the best and shortest route to it from the.
outside and from points along the Alaska coast. There is.
indeed, no other route to compete at all with it.
Within a month six or seven hundred people will be on
the payroll of the railroad office here in Seward. If each
of these men represented a family it would mean a popula
tion of more than two thousand not counting the present
residents. If each of these men was married and an
American citizen and if the government of the United
States gave each family a farm along the railroad free of
charge the government would lose nothing and Alaska
would be helped to be a land of homes.Remember this;The
day will come when the government will find it necessary
to give greater inducements to people to settle in this ter
ritory. Instead of selling lots they will consider it to the
nation’s advantage to give land awav.

Revelstoke is Sure
Of British Finance
By ED. L. KEEN
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
(Copyright 1D1G, By United Press)
(Copyrighted in Great Britain)
LONDON, July 1.—’‘Notwithstand
ing the fact that Parliament recently
voted another billion and a half for
the prosecution of the war, and that
Great Britain’s daily war bill is now
nearly twenty-five millions, British
politicians say they view the financial
outlook confidently. Do the business
men of the Empire share this view?”
Here is the answer of Lord Revel
stoke, active head of the great inter
national merchant banking firm of
Baring Brothers, a director of the
Bank of England, and probably the
one man in England best qualified to
speak with authority on the subject,
given to the United Press in an in
terview today:
“The country is proving that it can
rope with such an expenditure. So
long as our military authorities re
quire money to carry on the war we
shall shrink from no sacrifice in order
to provide it. The civilian community
is just as fully and firmly resolved on
victory as the armies which are fight
ing our battles in the field, and it en
tertains as little doubt as to the ulti
mate result.”
Lord Revelstoke was quite willing
to talk to an American correspondent
about Great Britain’s present econom
ic position, provided the discussion
were limited to the financial and
commercial situation as ii appeared
to a banker and merchant without of
ficial status.
“London,” said Lord Revelstoke,
“like other credit centers, was un
prepared for the crisis which accom
panied the outbreak of war. What
ever may have been the case in Ber
lin, English bankers at least had no
fore-knowledge of the calamity that
was to strike Europe in August 1914.
But after nearly two years of a war
waged in a manner far more exhaust
ing than any nation had anticipated,
the edifice of credit in London stands
(firm, and the delicate banking machi
nery works smoothly. For this the
world has chiefly to thank the cour
ageous policy adopted by the Cabinet
and the Treasury Department during
the first months of war.”
Emphasizing the fact that this
policy had been justified by results,
Lord Revelstoke explained:
“London’s credit is not like Berlin’s.
It is being tested every day by the
standards of other countries overseas,
! and it* it were found wanting, the
world would quickly know it. London
is the center ot the sensitive network
I of nerves which constitute the foreign
exchanges. Banks and merchants all j
over the world have credits in London
on which they may draw at any mom-'
ent. London has attained its piesentj
- m
position owing largely to the volume !
of foreign trade to and from the
shores of England.
“War tends to cripple exports be
cause it turns productive workers in- j
—
to soldiers. Imports in turn have to
be restricted as far as possible to the \
necessaries of war.”
EXPECTS FAIRBANKS WILL
HAVE MINING STATION
WASHINGTON, July 9.—Secretary
Lane indicated today that he will
establish a mining station at Fair
banks. It is well known that the
treasury is impressed with the im
perative need of a station somewhere
in Alaska for the purpose of studying
the minerals of the Territory. Repre
sentatives from various places in Al
aska have been seeking to have the
proposed station established in their
own town but the secretary seems to
be inclined towards the interior,
especially some point at which the
government railroad will touch.
Notice To Regular Democrats
The Seward Democratic Club, will
hold a regular meeting on Saturday
evening, July 8th, at 8 o’clock p. m.,
at the Pioneer hall. Said meeting is
called for the purpose of nominating
and electing eight candidates for
delegates to the Democratic Division
al Convention to be held at Seward,
Alaska, July 26th, 1916. The roll will
be open for signatures of all Demo
crats of Seward, and vicinity who in
tend to support the nominees of the
regular Democratic convention.
