SEWARD. ALASKA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 21, IMlo.
Well done, Fitzgerald of Brooklyn ! Alaska thanks you.
The apportionment of the money as shown in the Gateway
yesterday accounts for not quite half the total amount in the pos
session of the Commission a. ter the granting of the emergency
appropriation. Hut there is nothing said about the money that
will be required for supplies and transportation. The transpor
tation item for the winter will be a very large one.
Some of the neutral nations now remind one of the Irishman
who went into a salt* n and saw a tight and asked the bartender il
it was a private affair or a free for all. Sweden is getting cocky,
evidently, and Spain is reported to be about to take a crack at
Portugal or s >me one else. The words of the king of Greece about
the violation of his territory are significant.
We have oft* n hoard a phrase that this war may destroy
Euro pea civilization but we have thought it an exaggeration, but

WHAT ABOUT ALASKA.
Juneau—While the government is so
concerned about preparedness,why not
give some thought to Alaska. W hat
is to prevent the imaginaiy foes from
taking an “army” of 100 men or so and
sendiug a second -class battle cruiser
and annexing Alaska. While it is true
that some of the foreign nations might
not place as many restrictions upon
Alaskans as the autocratic political
rule at Washington imposes, we still
prefer our own government We
would rather be kicked and cuffed and
bullied by Uncle Sain than enjoy real
privileges under some foreign ruastei.
