THE LESSON FOR AMERICA
The greatest battle in the world’s history, now rag- I
log in Northern France, is teaching America more im- 1
pressively than was ever taught before the need ot com
plete and speedy mobilization of men, money and muni
tions to overthrow the Hun. We must keep our nerves
under control, and, as calmly as we can, watch the might)
drive. The gigantic struggle will not be over in a day,
nor a week. It may, like Verdun, extend over a period .
of several months. The Huns are prepared to pay in ,
human life the highest price ever paid for a military vic
tory, and the allies will make them pay the price, whatever
may be the result of the titanic struggle. This country
will be under a tremendous nervous strain until a decision
or a deadlock is reached, but we must remain cool-headed
and speed up mobilization .
No on • who knows the Prussian military spirit be
lieves that the presant battle will end the war. The Huns
must he utterly defeated, else the war to make the world
•i safe place for our children and grandchildren to live in,
is fought in vain. It must not he possible after this war
for any person to say that tin Herman military machine
was successful. It must be forever stamped as a dismal
failure. America must prepare herself, in connection
with the allies, to deal the crushing blow.
It is useless to say that we began our preparation
too late. We must increase o tr effort. We must throw
in to the struggle all the man power and the material
power that we can organize and transport into France.
W'e must do our full share in dealing the final blow be
fore our ailies are exhausted. If we fail, the war will he
brought to our own shores.
This greatest of all battles has brought the greatest
of all wars very close to us. We must gird our loins.
We dare not allow civilization to he crucified on the blood
stained fields of France. i
It doesn't matter who started this war, Uncle Sant will !
finish it.
W e must meet sacrifice at the front with sacrifice at
home.
"The Allies are all in the same boat, a long way from
shore and on limited rations,— and I'ncle Sam is rim
ing the relief ship.

Russia has its Red Guards. Finland its White Guards

What’s the use of the Kaiser wasting water and
doctor’s time at a spa? He can’t be cured of what ailes
him.—(Indianapolis News.)
That was a nice speech Chancellar von Hertling made
in the Reichstag. But how could he keep his face straight
—(Kansas City Star.)
The kaiser has sent a congratulatory telegram to
the head of the Krupp works thanking him and the con
cern for the gun that shelled Parise. As the kaiser is a
large stockholder in the great gun factory, it would seem
as though he had also handed himself a bouquet. |

Chas A. Sulzer i
Candidate For Re-election as
DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
From Alaska
“In deciding to enter the primaries as a candidate lor Delegate to
Congress from Alaska, 1 feel impelled to make a brief statement to
the people of the territory. It is now nearly a year since I was seated
in the House as Alaska’s representative 10 congress. During tne trust
of this time the United States has mvn engaged in a world war, and
every resource of the nation, including money and man power is Be
ing devoted to the single purpose of winning this great war . Kvcry
member of congress in considering legislation tor the nation, has
placed the country’s war needs above all needs and requirements and
has subordinated his desires to the military cstaolishment ol he
United States.
“Alaska has responded nobly to tin* nation a call. She lias given
her share willingly and unstintingly. When the democratic paity
went before the people ol Alaska in November, nine*teen sixteen, it
>tood tor a certain constructive progiam which embodied as its prin
cipal elements a wider measure of h me rule for the territory, am! a
s ine and rational policy in the development of natural resources ami
every posible aid to the pioneers ol t lie countiy.
“I have introduced among others the following bills in congress
which 1 am pressing for passage- as opportunity affords:
“Granting Alaska full territorial form of government with home
rule the dominating principle.
“Regulating the fisheries of Alaska along lines that will be fair
to all and the pi*otection of the rdimm supply from depletion.
“Making changes in the homestead laws by abolishing the eignty
rod reservation.
“Authorizing free surveys ol homesteads in isolated sections.
“Changing the game la\Ns so as to give the people a better oppor
tunity to use the game of the country without its being slaughtered.
“Extending the federal farm loan act to Alaska.
“Providing for the care of Alaska s insane within the renitory.
“At all tunes I have endeavored to keep constantly in mind the
needs of the territory and the people of the territory, in spite of t! e
war some measure of progress has been achieved. 1 have assisted *u
parsing a law which helped the prospector by suspendi ig assessne nt
vork on claims uu* ng ihe year* nineteen seventeen and nineteen
eighteen. The extension of the wireless and cable system in AlnsK.i has
been accomplished with bright prospects lor a iurther extension.
“Recognition has been forced for Alaska in the matter of appoint
ments to the second series of training camps for oflicers. Contracts
which prevented the fanners of the interior from supplying army
posts with cheir vegetables are cancelled.
“Suggestions and requests that I again go before the people of
Vlaska have come to me from A’ackans all over the territory. Keit
ciating my desire to serve the b°st interests of Alaska, I am submit
ting my name as a candidate for the democratic nomination •01
Delegate to Congress.”
