ANCHORAGE, ALASKA. TVESDAY, MAY S. 1017.
NOTHING ELSE WAS EXPECTED
Tin* wires inform us that the naval consulting hoard, a
hotly composed of master minds in the realm of science and in
vention, which Secretary of the Navy Daniels called to his aid,
have invented a machine, an appliance or whatever it may Ik*
called, that will effectually put a quietus on the submarine.
For obvious reasons, the nature of the appliance to lie employ
ed in combating the submarine is not revealed. And as was
expected, the great inventor. Thomas Edison, was the father
of the idea and to him belongs tin* chief credit for tin* timely
invention. When this naval consulting board was called into
being, upon the request of Seerotary Daniels, much was ex
pected of it. because this nation was combed to select the fore
most men in the matter of science and in inventive genius. With
these master minds concentrated upon a given idea or theme,
it was certain that successful results would follow.
It was an American —Thomas Holland that invented the
tirst successful submarine. The Herman 1 boat of today is but
an improvement upon the Holland discovery. It was likewise
an American that invented the first successful aeroplane, nnoth
er instrument that is playing quite a figure in the enterprises
of war and warfare. It seems rather perverse, that we in this
day should be compelled to invent some means to combat the
inventions of our forbears in days that are past. American
genius is capable of producing anything that it within the lim
its of human endeavor.
LET US CONTRIBUTE.
Of all the horrors growing out of this world war. the suf
ferings inflicted upon the little nation of Belgium surpass all
else. Here was a little, inoffensive nation that, by reason of
its geographical location, was made the victim of the ravages
of the Teutonic armies, in their mad rush on the metropolis of
France. Since the invasion of Belgium by the Teutonic hordes,
that part invaded has been held under the subjection of a Her
man military rule. Belgium is but it little nation, as nations
go, and is densely populated. In times of peace, the inhabi
tants have to import much of their food products, and of course,
make some exports. But war hits changed all for the inhabi
tants of Belgium. The young men of the nation have taken up
arms in the defense of their country. Industries are at a stand
still. agriculture has been curtailed, famine stalks abroad in the
land. Sufferings beyond the power of pen to describe are en
dured by tlu* aged, the infirm and the young of the male popu
lation. while the female population of all ages are facing the
lamentable situation.
The American nation, which from a financial standpoint,
has reaped billions out of this world war. has been contribut
ing large sums to the relief of the needy Belgians, who are on
ihe verge of starvation. But our contributions, as compared
to our gains, have been but it mere pittance.
The governor of Alaska requests that Anchorage, as well
as other Alaska towns, donate funds toward the relief of these
needy people. Alaskans, as a class, are a generous people; the
call for aid is never unheeded in the northland, be it said to
our everlasting honor and glory. Let us respond to this last
call, made in behalf of these suffering people. We are so re
mote from the war zones that it is «piite impossible to fully
realize the true situation. It is enough to know, however, that j
millions of members of the human family, through no fault of j
their own. have been made the chief victims of this inhuman
warfare.

How many of you have read R. Service’s ‘Rhymes, of a Red Cross Man”
Yet they are rhymes well worth reading. The impressions ot a man wit!
a highly developed sense of understanding the rea'ities of life, writing o;
things he saw and lived, drawing pictures of war, and life in the camp
with the touch of a great artist, Robert Service has again shown us a new
side of his versatile character. The book is published in a neat cloth bind
ing at $1.25 and Red Leather binding at $1.75.
We have also a number of new’ copyrights of 1917.
Growth is the inevitable result of work done in the right direction.
L. K. Waterman, a pioneer of one of the greatest enterprises in oui
country—the manufacture of Fountain Pens—has made the "Watermar
Ideal Foundtain Pen” a name familiar in Madagascar as well as in New
York City, in the trenches of Europe's battlefields and in a mine tunnel ir
Alaska. It was not extensive advertising that educated the public to the
use of his fountain pen, it was the high quality of the pen as a whole, the
honesty of his claims for it, the broad policy of trying to fit the pen foi
the customer, not the customer to the pen—and not the least factor was
the guarantee that went w’ith each pen. When buying one—and you will
elo it sooner or later—it is well to remember that you can get just thr
point you want—we have them in stock, or else we will get it for you. Anc
we will be very willing to mail a pen to you for trial if you will tell us what
kind of a point you prefer, medium, fine, manifold or stub. 'I he prices art
from $2.50 to $7.50, depending upon the size of the gold point, and of course
we also carry the higher price pens up to $40.00.
