ALASKA CIRC HAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION — WELCOME TO THE KARLSRUHE. To the Commanding Officer and other officers and men of the German cruiser Karlsruhe Juneau for herself, and, as the first port of call in Alaska, | for the Territory extends a cordial welcome. They ! come here as the friendly representatives of friendly Nation. The Karlsruhe is a visitor from | one of the world's greatest republics to another| great republic. The people of Juneau will do their best to extend a full appreciation of that fact. They will treat the officers and men and the flag of the German Republic as they deserve to be treated—to the best | there is in the town. They are glad their German‘ friends are here and they will do their best to impress the visitors with their feelings. The greatest hope in Juneau is that the officers and men of the Karlsruhe will enjoy their visit in Juneau as thoroughly as the people of the City will enjoy them. a| A MENACE TO ALASKA. The war in Congress on Alaska roads is a menace to the welfare of all the people of the Territory. | The action of the House in refusing to reinstate the budget estimate in the appropriation bill was calamitous. The makers of the budget took into account the need for economy in appropriations when they cut the appropriation from $900,000 to ! $650,000. There are as many reasons why the ap- propriation should be $900,000 this year as there were for appropriating that amount last year. How- ever, the budget was made up with the purpose in mind of cutting all appropriations. The Alaska road appropriation was reduced porportionally. Then came the House Committee and cut the figure from $560,000 to $350,000. This blow to the Territory was terrific. Now the dispatches tell us that Congress threat- ens to cut the appropriation out altogether. Not only would that interfere with development in Alaska but it would add immensely to unemployment—and that at a time when there is no remedy in sight. Many Alaskans will actually suffer if this appro- priation is not carried in the bill. A WONDERFUL MAN PASSES ON. Robert Dollar, who died Monday at his home near San Francisco, was & remarkable man. He fol- lowed lumbering as his major pursuit until passed the years that are usually called middle-aged. Then he became a steamship owner and operator. He made a tremendous success in both vocations. His ships traversed all the oceans. He was easily the most important individual in Pacific shipping—per- haps in American shipping. He died at the age of eighty-eight—Iliving nearly — (must probably, not count for stability at home. Military control has proved unsatisfactory except when a country is at ‘war where its position on politics at home and abroad is well understood. Even a dictator be free from military control if he is to dictate successfully. The authority at the head of the Government must control the army and not be its creature When the Democrats and Republicans form a| coalition they can pass measures quickly in the Senate or House. It seems to be the only way the task can be performed. The Senate tax bill is apparently ready to go through. Every day in every way the bandwagon is look- ing less and less like the waterwagon of recently passed political campaigns. Al Smith is for a sales and beer tax. That would probably be the sanest way to balance the budget. It would do away with a lot of nuisance taxes and make unnecessary tariff tinkering for revenue pur- poses. The Other Hawaii. (New York Herald Tribune.) Less sensational than the Massie trial, but more truly representative of the real Hawaii, was the Foreign Trade Convention held last week in Hono- lulu. Long after the famous case and its ante- cedents are forgotten Hawaii will continue to be a great center of Pacific commerce. Important as it is as a resort for tourists and as our largest military base, these are but minor interests of the Terri- tory compared to the volume of its external trade, which amounts to more than $200,000,000 a yea: Nearly 1,500 steamers enter its ports annually by the various ship lanes that lead to this “cross- roads of the Pacific.” Though its distance made attendance imprac- ticable for the majority of business men from the mainland, it was otherwise fitting that the National Foreign Trade Council should choose Honolulu for its .annual meeting. It was not only a merited recognition of Hawaii's place in our commercial system, but of the importance of the Pacific area in our national economy and in that of the world at large. Thus, in addition to the delegates from continental United States and Canada, there came to the conference representatives of the lands on the western rim of the Pacific, from New Zealand and Australia around to China and Japan. The total foreign trade of these countries is in the neighborhood of $7,000,000,000 a year, and before the present depression they bought from us annually about $800,000,000 worth of goods. We of the Atlantic seaboard are too liable to minimize the significance of the Pacific in the fu- ture of our foreign trade, but these figures are elo- iquent evidence of the opportunities that await Am- erican business in that quarter of the earth to which Hawaii is the natural way-station and out- post. Cloak Room Conversation. (Washington Correspondence in Seattle Star.) Cloak room conversation is switching back to a Baker-Ritchie ticket. There is one important thing about it. Roosevelt would take Baker in a compromise quicker than any other darkhorse now mentioned. Other high class gossip concerns Owen Young and Melvin Traylor. The obvious fact about Young is that he is not going to be nominated as long as Roosevelt has anything at all to say about it. All this feedbox chatter is premature. If Roose- velt is stopped several good men will have a chance. pretending her cousin, Jenny married him, for her employer insicts that his women employ- ees remain single. When the car in which Eddie was driv- | nig the girls was wrecked, the dector who examined him no- | ticed Jenny was wearing no wedding ring. He comes to Gecrgie and ftries to find out which girl is Mrs. Townsend. Georgie is sure Jenny will lie for her. She does not know that Jenny is unhappy, be- * cause Garth Aveney, the neph- ew eof Georgie’s employer, has ccemed attracted to Georgie. Jenny has promised to go into the country for a day’s ride with Aveney, although she does not realize that he really likes her. Georgie telephones her employer, te learn if he has heard of the marriage. CHAPTER 15. ¥ GEORGIE'S TRUMP CARD “Good evening, Miss Loyalty,” came the cool voice of Garth Av- eney. “Oh—it's you is dt, you hired assassin?” With an effort Georgie threw diplomacy into her tone. “Put me through to my chief, will you, please?” “You'll have to wait, I'm afraid. | His dostor is with him. He had |No, he didn't eat too much, he la slight attack after dinner. . ..

At any rate, he was removed raving about the impossibility of replacing you.” “He meedn't worry. That report —in the Record, wasn't it? — is about my cousin, Jenny. She and I have exactly the same name, you see. Will you tell him, please?” There was no answer. She frowned, biting her lip. “Hello—" “Sorry” came Aveney's voice. “I'm just trying to get the hang of it all. You want me to tell the Old Man that it was your cousin who married Townsend this morning?” “Don’t you believe it?” Bhe hoped her laugh sounded more convincing over the wires than it did in this empty room, ‘“Why don’t you believe it?" Again there was so odd a pause that she hurried out her trump card, “If your uncle is as skeptical as you, Jenny had better go and see him herself and assure him it really is true.” “Perhaps she had.” “What are you laughing at?” demanded Georgie. “At what time will she come?” “Oh, tomorrow morning, T should think. He's always at home on Sunday morning, isn't he? Ask him to see her for a few minutes at ten. .. What are you laughing at?” Tourists, mostly American, spent $250,776,000 in Canada in 1931.

She ought to phone the hospital—and Jenny. too—but perhaps it was more important to speak to Gill, the superintendent. She swung out of the apartment and down the stairs. Gill was smoking a pipe just inside his own room, near the door. He sat astride a chair, his folded arms along its back, and not for the first time she thought how arrest- ing he was in appearance. Had he been taller he would have been strikingly handsome. As it was his big rugged head, gray-haired, was poised on shoulders that were too square and too high. He rose as she came in towards him and his lumbering movements seemed alien to his deep, shrewd eyes, and strong mouth. “Oh, Gill, T wanted to speak to you." He moved his chair for her to enter his little office. The most imposing thing in it was the tele- phone.

( “Oh, what did you He didn't get nothing out of me Georgie whistled her relief. Gill's eves twinkled and for a moment she thought he was going to laugh, but he swallowed it. “It's Miss Jenny who married Mr. Townsend” said Georgie, look- ing very straight at him. “I don't know whether I ever told you, buu if I were to marry T should lose my job. So you remember which | one of us it ds who is really Mrs. Townsend, won't you?” Gill crooked one knee across the other, standing precariously on one leg the while, and knocked out his pipe against the side ofi his boot. Georgie waited patient- ly. It was mot use ever hurrying Gill. Then she rémembered that) she had not touched on the mone- tary consideration. “You may have to deal with quite a good many enquiries,” she addad. “Suppose I give you an) ra five dollars a week for as| g as I still work for Mr. Mm,ch-‘ ing?” i Gill straightened himself.

Get the hotel will you?” He obeyed. And while she wait- ed she saw a Record in the cor- ner picked it up and read its stop- press news. “Mr. Bddie Townsend, who was at wheel when his car came into collision with a bus had just left City Hall after his| marriage to Miss Georgie Revell.” ‘Wonderful, thought Georgie grim- ly, what a lot they had given away in that one sentence! No wonder the Old Man had collapsed. “The hotel, miss.” Georgie took the receiver. “I want to speak to Miss Re- vell.” Another delay. Then Jenny's voice murmered something. “That you Jen? You've seen the Record?” “Yes T've seen it.” “Youll help me out, of course?” ..You know in what way I mean?” “I—yes T know what you mean, But—" “I want you to start by telling Gil—he’s here on the phone now— how to stall off enquiries. ...
