THE WORLD WAR.
Be our sympathies what they may with respect to the great
world war now prevailing, o^iif^’fepmpeis the admission that
so far as decisive results being achie'ved, the honors are going
to the Teutonic forces. A brief review of the situation substan
tiates this claim. The Teutons are in control of a vast amount
of gained territory. Belgium is practically now ruled by the
Germans). The greater part of Russian Poland is occupied and
governed by the Teutons. A good slice of French territory is
in the hands of the enemy. Serbia and ^Montenegro, until re
cently, fell victim to Teutonic invasions, although the allies are
now regaining lost ground. The province of Dobrudja, in Rou
mania, is overrun with the Teutonic forces, while old Roimia
nia and the capital thereof. Bucharest, will soon he under Teu
tonic dominion. Little Wallaohia, a province of Roumania, has
already fallen into the hands of the enemy.
While most people seem to think the allies must eventually
win, it would appear that they must show more speed in the
future than they have in the past to accomplish this end. The
allied campaign has been replete with blunders, one of the big
gest of which was the attempted invasion of Transylvania by
the Roumanian forces, leaving their own country but partially
protected. The logical campaign for the Roumanians to have
made, in the light of transpired events, was to have simply
guarded the mountain passes leading from Transylvania into
Roumania, and with the major army invaded Bulgaria. As in
the disastrous Dardanelles campaign, which ended in such a
fiasco, the allied powers seem lacking in concerted and har
monious action. They are fighting as individual nations,-in
stead of allied nations, and the fact is demonstrated by the re
sults. On the other hand, the German empire is the dominat
ing force among the central powers and the campaigns are di
rected entirely by.the Germans. It will he five years before
this war shall have ended, at the present rate of progress.
The Times reserves comment on the matter which is agir
tating the public mind in this town, growing out of the whole
sale arrest of proprietors of pool halls and public resorts, un
til after the respective trials have taken place. We do not be
lieve it proper to comment on cases just, previous to trials. In
deed, if a district court were in session here, such comment as
we might wrisli to employ on the subject might well bring us
within the rule providing for contempt of coui't. And then
again, comment at this time will serve no useful purpose, so ;
far as we can see. The authorities have adopted a policy, pre
sumably, with respect to the government of this town. The
trials will determine the public will with respect to this policy.
Anchorage enjoyed Thanksgiving day. The weather was j
ideal; there were special services in the churches; plenty of
amusements for those who desired to thus employ their leisure
time, and the turkeys supplied hv the local markets were de
licious, even if they did cost fifty cents the pound.
The loyalty of Mr. Chas. F. Herron, the publisher of The
Times, to the town of Anchorage is amply attested by the
many interviews he has given to tin* big publications of the
east. We reproduce in another column one that appeared in
the New York Herald.
It was a little nippy last night—eight degrees below zero.
But eight degrees below zero, with no wind prevailing, is not so
had.
ALASKAN TRADE.
(Buffalo Express)
Alaska as a part of the United States should find it more
profitable, to trade, for the most part, with other parts of the
United States. Tt should he a valuable asset to the Pacific
eoast states, and particularly to the most important of our
northern ports, Seattle.
Thanks to the partial failure of congress to realize that
Alaska should lx1 integrally of the United States, the territory
has found it more profitable in the last few years to do a large
part of its business with British Columbia. The, provincial
and Dominion governments have encouraged this trade by
every legitimate means. The Pacific coast states have had .lit
tle help from tin* government in their efforts to win trade
from Alaska, although the projects for the opening of the ter
ritory’s coal fields and the building of the government railway
were as energetically supported in the state of A\ ashington as
they were in Alaska itself.
There are a number of ways in which congress can help
the Pacific coast in its efforts to retain the larger part of Alas
ka’s trade. Most important of these, perhaps, is a law which
will prevent, the shipping of hundreds of tons of halibut caught
in Alaskan territorial waters every month through Canadian
j torts.

CHARGED WITH 30
MURDERS, GETS 30
YEARS.IN THE PEN
RECIFE, Brazil, Nov. 21.—Thirty
years in prison was the sentence im
posed on Antonio Silvino, a bandit
who terrorized the border of three
states for more than twenty years, by
the court in session in this city. Sil
vino had thirty specific murder charg
es arrayed against him when he was
finally captured by the federal police
after a pitched battle with the bandit
and his two hundred followers. It is
claimed that the victims of his border
raids number thousands.
Some people need moral encourage
ment much more than financial assist
ance.

DREAMER SUGGESTS
NEW ERA TO BEGIN
AFTER WORLD WAR
LONDON, Nov. 8.—(By Mail.)—,
Even while the world war . is raging,
around them, day dreamers and ideal- ■
ists have found time to send a few :
suggestions from the front trenches
in Picardy. A corporal, inspired by
the comfortable surroundings of a
newly captured German dugout, sug
gests that a new era for the world!
should be created immediately after
the war is over, the year One begin
ning on the day peace is finally'<Je-'
clared.
Another reformer is propounding
the theory that at the end of the ex
isting unpleasantness, the allies should
return to the French republican calen
dar, which begins the first month of ]
the year on Sept. 22, instead of Jan-|
uary 1, and renamed it the month of
Vintage. The names of the other
months are changed, according to lh“
soldier idealist, to make life more
cheerful. For instance, the second
month would be known as Foggy, the
thin! Sleety and others as Rainy,
Windy, Budding, Flowery, Harvest
and Fruit. If this plan were adopted
today would be Windy the twelfth.
Thinking along the same linos,
third dreamer languishing in some
shell crater out in Nomans Land, be-,
Jieves the weeks are too short. He
would have a week consist of ten days,
the days to be renamed with terms; of
rhythm and poetry, grace and beauty.
He also is inspired with the desire for
a new era after the war.
There seems to be divergent views |
as to whether the first year of the new
era should be known as the “Year,
One, A. P.55 (After Peace) or, “The
Year One, A. K.” (After Knockout).
Thanksgiving day has came and
went; next comes Christmas and
Santa Claus. In the meantime there
are many social affairs scheduled to
entertain the people of Anchorage.
WHAT THE MINNESOTA
STATE LEGISLATURE
EXPECTS TO ACCOMPLISH
ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 21.—Statu
tory statewide prohibiton, woman suf*
frage, a tonnage tax on Minnesota’s
1,200,000,000 tons of unmined ore,
and reforms in state government that
will follow the recommendations of a
hard-working economy and efficiency
commission that has been on the job
two years-,' will be essential consider—
litiqpsfof. the,L917 sessions of the Min
nesota ] state' legislature, starting in
January.
One of the fifist things Senator E.r
E. Lobcck, of Alexandria, will do will
be the introduction of a state-wide
prohibition bill, provided for by the
statutes, without submission to vot
ers. Woman suffrage must be sub
mitted to the voters and get a two
thirds majority before Minnesota wo
men may vote. Two years ago the
house sought to submit the issue to
the voters but the senate blocked it
by three votes.
Tonnage taxes will be aimed large
ly at the United States Steel corpora
tion which controls much of the ore
of the state. On mines it owns, it V
pays a tax of 18 cents a ton, whether
or not the ore is mined. The state
owns ten per cent of the mines i
state and leases them for which
paid a royalty of 25 cents a
.' hich will be replaced by a higher ton
nage tax, probably.
Mrs. Fay Farrington left this morn
ing for Moose creek after spending
Thanksgiving day in the city with7
friends. The Farringtons are among
the pioneer farmers of the Matanuska
valley and have gone into the stock
raising business quite extensively re
cently, selling the government 2,000
pounds of pork raised and fattened
on their valley farm.
