The eyes of the world are now centered on the great
offensive so long premeditated by the Germans and Aus
tro-Hungarians. The Allies are ready and this fight is
or should be. the turning point of the war. Hut somebody
is likely to get fooled, and that somebody is none other
than the kaiser. His talk yesterday that the Germans'
would go on to Paris, the English Channel, then across
the Channel is more of his display of egotism. Wonder
what he thinks the English and American fleet of war
ships in the war zone will lie doing when he is rowing
across the English Channel? .Somebody should send him
a map with a description of t ie navy apparatus that is
between the east and west sides of the English Channel.
This map and other information might—but hardly prob
able-sink through that diseased white and gray matter
supposed to he somewhere in the cranium above his shoul
ders. The kaiser’s "Onward u ith God” policy is going to
have one hellish set-back in his crossing the English Chan
nel unless he wants to fill the channel with the dead and
then attempt to walk across on bodies.
The spring rush hack home is now on. The last
steamers to Seward brought many of those who have
been outside and tomorrow the Alaska will bring another
bunch of Seward citizens. Besides citizens of this city,
many well known Anchorage i ten are returning and they

those bound to the westward stop off here waiting for the
; ext boat. Those returning from the south state that
business seems splendid below and labor is plentiful.
They also say that coast people especially have their eyes
on Alaska and this southwestern coast in particular. This
is going to be a good section for labor this summer; work
un the railroad, work in the fishing industry and work in
the mines.
The government is now sending out all kinds of liter
ature about the gardens to be planted and requesting edi
tors to give the subject much publicity. All right, but it
can’t be done here yet, for the man or woman in Seward
vho would attempt to go out and look ovei the peihaps
plot of ground for a garden would be taken up by the
wind and shot across the icy ways to somewhere else.
Gosh, but the wind has been fierce during the last two or
three days.
March came in like a roarin’, tootin’ lion and by jingo
it looks as if it would not go out like a lamb at that.
