PAMPERED BERLIN.
If there is a revolt against the kaiser it will not have
its origin in Berlin. Rarely are the harrowing phases of
the war revealed to the people of the metropolis. Berlin
is coddled, pampered. The burden that is imposed on her
is not as heavy as that borne by other municipalities. Her
food supply is greater and the restrictions are not as tight
lv drawn. * #

The cities in the extreme north are lifeless. Unable
to contribute their share to the great conflict, they are ne
glected. a greater toll of man power being exacted from
them.
Photographs were shown in private circles of the
‘longshore women of Cuxhaven being driven like sheep to
load the ships with supplies for mother ships or submar
ine bases, mere shapeless snags of women—flat-chested
and devoid of feminine grace, slouching along with un
womanly disregard of their appearance. And yet three
years ago these coarse, frowsy creatures were noted for
the sturdiness of their carriage and a certain rugged vo
luptuousness. The government considered these photo
graphs of sufficient importance to make a house-to-house
search in the district for copies of them and to arrest the
holder of the negative.—Adele X. Phillips in the Atlantic.
The restrictions to women of Germany, now in the
United States and the territories, and the demand that
they register the same as men, shows that the legislators
of the country recognize Germany’s great spy system.
Former Ambassador Gerard in his book, states that all
countries are honeycombed with the German woman spy
system. One of the peculiar instances attached to the
German spy system is that the women appear to be the
brains of the intricate machine.

I’he an ival of the fishing boat Starr in the harbor the
other dav with the first catch*of the vear, the earliest for
esasons. demonstrates that the San Juan company officials
believe that the early bird catches the worm. The fishing
business in Alaska this season promises to eclipse that of
last vear.

Seward, by observing Tuesday as a meatless day, is
in the fashion of all other cities both in the territory and
the states. Wheatless Friday may now be followed bv a
porkless Saturday and then there goes the good old pork
and beans for what are baked beans without the pork?
War is certainly-.

If any one says that “near beer” is harmless, just have
he or she drink a couple of bottles and then report the
“next morning.”
Governor Strong, in his annual report, appends the
official directory for the Territory. Here is one official:
"Delegate to Congress, Charles A. Sulzer.”
Citizens of Seward going to Seattle or other cities in
the states, don't be afraid to talk to the newspapermen.
Nearly all newspapers have a hotel column and they want
the news about Alaska in it. If you haven’t time to think
up a good talk on Seward, come into the Gateway office
and tell the Editor—he is never busy—and he will write
out the line of talk to hand out about Seward and the Ke
nai Peninsula in particular.
The income tax is one that cannot be dodged. Better
get ready and make your statement.

THERE’S AN OAR FOR EACH ONE
^^AL^MORE AMERICAN. *>
It will, only be a few more weeks until two steamers
will be at the Seward dock the same as yesterday. Re
ports from Seattle indicate that a great business to and
from Alaska for the coming year is already anticipated
and the steamship companies will probably have as many
steamers on the Southwestern route as last year and more
freighters.
The Editor received a letter yesterday from a former
Seward man, who went to Seattle to secure employment
and what he believed would be a fabulous wage scale, and
' he says: “Tell them to stick to Alaska. All are not big
I jobs thata re floating around here. And don’t forget, liv
■ ing is most certainly high here. I am coming back to
Seward within the next six weeks.”
Three new large business establishments will proba
bly locate in Seward within the next two months. This
%
, was the information given out yesterday by a traveling
man from Seattle. Come on, the more the better for Sew
ard and the surrounding district can deliver the goods.
You can help us and we reciprocate.
The French appear to have their innings in the war
came now. They have driven the Teutons back on the
Italian front and also in France in a certain sector.
By the way, have you purchased a thrift stamp yet?
There are three places in Seward where the purchase can
be made.
The Bolsheviki can easily say: “Where do we move
now.” Their game seems to be played on a checkerboard.
