THE DISTURBING ELEMENT
Probably none of the nations engaged in the present
world war on the side of the entente allies face so serious a
problem as does the United States, in so far as treatment
of alien enemies is concerned.
No other nation at war with the Central Powers has
so great a percentage of Teutonic population, and the task
of keeping track of Germans or Austrians who decline to
obey the law has assumed herculean proportions.
There are hundreds of thousands of American citizens
bearing German names, who can be numbered among the
most loval. Thousands of them are in the army, and are
ready and anxious to enter the trenches in the effort to
*
crush the Kaiser's dream of world domination and Prus
sian rule.
Then, there are other American citizens, and not all of
them German or Austrian, by any means, who are disloyal
and pro-German. This class, and the German and Aus
trian subjects who sympathize with the Kaiser sufficiently
to make them willing to break the law, constitute more of
a problem than raising an army. They embarrass loyal
Americans bearing German names, tempt other loyal
Americans to take the law in their own hands after the
manner of Bisbee and Douglas and otherwise cause trou
ble.
Probably in due course of time the government will
evolve some system to protect the loyal Germanic popula
tion of the United States and the German subjects who are
obeying the law and keeping their mouths shut, from the
continued activities of these trouble-makers.
_A
SHOULD HELP EACH OTHER
There should be no room for jealousy between Seward
and Anchoroage, or in fact, between any towns in Alaska.
What helps one benefits the other. Each must grow ac
cording to its own merit and resources. The interests of
Anchorage and Seward, as well as other railroad towns to
be built along the government projects in Anchorage, for
instance, would re-act against Seward and vice versa.
Commercial coal in order to pay for mining must be gotten
to the market at the lowest possible rate, and that is a
problem the government engineers are now busy solving.
It is a cold-blooded business proposition. They are not in
terested in booming any particular city, but to make the
l>est practical use of conditions at their command so that

THE OI)I) FELLOWS’ BUILDING
Construction of a fine building by the Odd fellows of
Seward, according to the plans announced by members of
the order today, will be a splendid improvement to the in
cerasing business district and a credit to the order. It will
also mean added activity in building circles during the re
mainder of the season, and with the other buildings under
way and proposed, and the burning of brick on the north
4de of town, there will be more construction work under
way in and about Seward than at any time since work was
commenced oh the government railroad.
