ENEMY SHIP COULD LAND ARMS
EASILY, SAYS NEW YORK WORLD
. •*'*
(New York World)
Since war has been declared and
ore pa redness for military assasults
upon the territory of the United
States proper is engaging so much at
tention, it may not be improper to
call attention to the modest needs of
Alaska and the fact that the ports of
this territory are without defense ot
any kind. A hostile cruiser could land
marines without opposition at any
towm on Alaska coast and burn it and
destroy a commerce between Alaska
and the states exceeding $110,000,-'
J00 in 1916 and which promises to ex
ceed that figure each succeeding year |
for an indefinite time to come.
Alaskan ports, almost without ex
ception, could be made impregnable at
a minimum cost as military and naval
expendiures run ordinarily. This is
♦•specially true of Seward and Anchor
age ,the two water terminals of the
government’s system of railroa<ls.
joints at which an assault at present
would completely paralyze and large
ly destroy the chief industries of Al
aska. Moreover, a small force of in
vaders could not only take the two
terminals without opposition. but
could quickly entrench themselves so
that their subsequent dislodgement
could be effected only at a heavy cost
in men and material.
Seward, the headquarters of rail
road activities, is located on Resur
rection bay, a deep sheet of water far
beyond gunshot from the open sea and
reached by a narrow, winding chan
nel between lofty elevations, veritable
(fibraltars, one either side. A few
guns commanding the channel would
make the place impregnable to the
combined fleets of the world.
To get within gunshot of Anchorage
a worship would first have to pass
within easy range of Fire island, a
point lending itself to easy defense
almost as readily as the Resurrection
bay entrance.
With Seward and Anchorage prop-j
erly defended, the government rail
ways and the great Matanuska coa!
fields would be safe. A direct attack
on these groat properties by landing
in bays on either side of the railroad
would be impossible because of inter
vening impassable glaciers, while a
dank attack could bo made only after
crossing mountain ranges which
would make Hannibal’s descent upon
Rome s»*om easy by comparison.
SNAIL FARMERS
PROSPER IN WAR
PARIS.—French snail farmers are
making tidy fortunes out of the war.
More than half the French supply of
this delicacy has been cut off by the
German occupation of Luxemburg,
Belgium and Northern France, and
the market price has risen according
ly. The demand for snails has also
been stimulated by the new food regu
lations, which class snails with
oysters as a “hors d’oeuvre,” of which
one may eat as much as one wishes.
As many as half a million first
quality snails, worth $5 to $10 a
thousand, can bo reared on an acre of
land. They have to be fed only once
a day. preferably in the evening. A
bed of 100.000 snails will consume a
wagon load of cabbages in a few
minutes, and the noise which they
make at their repast is like nothing
else in the world.
HURRY CALL FOR
