Kitchener Wanted Ameri
ca Hut Would Not Let
It he Asked
LONDON, Feb. lo.—Discussing the;
prospects of the United States enter* j
. • I
ing the war, the Review says:
“Two years ago Lord Kitchener,
there can now be no harm in stating, j
believed that if only America were to j
join the allies, the effect would be to |
shorten considerably his estimate that j
the war would last three years. He j
therefore opposed hostile references j
to the attitude of America and equally
opposed the foolish habit of picking at
her sleeve, telling her of the wicked
ness of Germany and urging her to j
come in. He held that this was the
way not to bring America around and
he was right,” !
Continuing, the Review thinks that j
the United States would be chiefly of
value in furnishing goods, ships and
money. As regards to an army, it j
comments:
“She is late on the scene, but if she
once undertook to send an army she
would set about making soldiers as
she set about making money, and
Europe would see Wilson armies,,
Root armies and Roosevelt armies."
One of War’s Greatest Events
The Weekly Nation devotes two
leaders to American affairs and says
that the action of the United States is
one of the two great events of the war
the other being England’s full entry
» . .
into continental affairs.
“With the entrance of America." it j
says, “the balance sets definitely to
ward democracy. Henceforth west-,
* . . i
ern democracy is sate and its ideas
must permeate central and eastern
Europe. While the entente may com
bine their resources and in time se
cure a popular victory, yet they all
must come from warfare crippled and
impoverished. In this moral encoun
ter, America comes in with the neees
sai*y equipment for success.
“Unless Germany’s assumption is
that by June she will cut off the mari
time commerce of the world from
these islands and thus sever the main

C. P. R. PLANNING
ALASKA DISPLAY IN
CANADIAN TOWNS
The Canadian Pacific Railway is
t planning an Alaskan display for vari
ous eastern exhibitions, also fairs in
the western part of Canada to be held
this spring, summer and fall. This
announcement is made by the publi
city department of the railway.
The Canadian Pacific railway plans
to put the exhibit from Alaska at
Toronto. London and Ottawa and the
big events held in those three cities
and then ship the entire exhibit to the
numerous fairs to bo held in western
Canada. The company will arrange
for men to accompany the exhbitions,
giving lectures and will transport the
exhibits from place to place and a
large sum of money has been appro
priated for this account.
The significance of this big feature
is plainly apparent to all Alaskans
and will prove a great incentive for
travel and incidentally, perhaps, set
tlement in Alaska. the collection
of this exhibit will involve much time
and expense it is understood that the
commercial organizations of the north
will lend great assistance if they will
help in the collection of totem poles,
Indian wares and photographs.
arteries of the entente, then she must
realize that she cannot win. She can
not tight America’s brains and money
and numbers and America’s organized
industry, which stands out as the
chief rival of the German cartel.”
“America’s action also offers n
great reinforcement to the morale of
the allies and at the same time the
impact of American intervention must
deeply color the views of the Ger
man people. It also involves a tre
mendous transformation, as no longer
will there be left in the world a single
neutral great power. Not one of the
remaining neutrals is powerful or se
cure enough to play an appreciable
part.”
The Nation pays a tribute to Presi
dent Wilson as “the most far-sighted
and strongest man who today leads a
civilized people, and who will acquire,
in our common camp, the weight to
which he is entitled. He now will be
bound by the same supreme interests,
which hold us all, and will assist in
the victory of the common cause.”
AN OPPORTUNITY
I have received Instructions to sell
all the portrait negatives and certain
equipment and furniture of the Alex
ander photographic studio. A list of
the articles for sale wall be found at
the Seward Drug store, Hettel’s, and
Browm & Hawkins.
The late Clyde Alexander was a
portrait photographer of the first
rank. He was chief operator for
James &. Bushnell of Seattle, for
seven years, and during his career
won several medals at different ex
positions.
There are only two studios on the
coast that approach the quality of
his work, and a negative taken and re
touched by him is worth having. By
having the negative you can have any
number of prints made from it by any
ordinary photographer at low cost.
The negatives of a studio are its capi
tal and are never sold except under
the present condition, and this oppor
tunity you should not miss. To get
the negatives of the picture you had
taken, communicate with D. C.
Brownell, before April 1, 1917.

'GERMANS HAVE
750,000 PRISONERS
ON FARM WORK
_
AMSTERDAM, Holland—(Special)
j Germany is employing 750,000 war
prisoners as farm laborers, according j
to a Rerlin dispatch which quotes
' General Groener, head of the army
i feeding department.
General Groener’s- statement was
made before the Reichstag committee
I which is cooperating in carrying out
i the provisions of the national civil
■ service law.
He stated that additional war pris
oners would be put to work in the
agricultural districts and that in oc-!
; cupied territories the garrisons would
| do spring sowing and harvest work.
GREAT RADIO
PLANT IN HAWAII
SOON COMPLETED
HONOLULU. — (Special.) — The
groat Pearl Harbor naval radio sta-,
tiqn will be completed and turned over,
to the government within three
months, according to R. B. Woolvcr
I ton, who arrived here recently, bring
I
| ing with him all the apparatus that
! will go into the big plant.
Woolverton said that the Pearl Har
i bor station will in many respects out
rank any other station in existence,
and that it will be completed in record
| time, so far as the installation of the
i apparatus is concerned. He came ,
! here from San Diego station of the
navy department, which he recently j
completed and turned over to the gov- .
ernment. The plant, Mr. Woolverton |
says, will be the highest powered of |
any in the world, using 500 kilowatts. .
It will use a wave of from 10,000 to j
15,000 meters. The station is to com- i
municate regularly with the Arfling- i
j ton station, nearly 5,000 miles distant. |
The Maker of the Universe, in His j
wisdom, saw to it that natural re
sources enough were placed in the i
water and on land to support the i
human family, but in order to make
them useful the people must work
and hustle. Seward has her share, go
after it For further information ask
