HOLD YOUR FIRE | Tomorrow you'll be out on the duck flats bright and early, if you're an average Juneau male, waiting with gun in hand for the season to open at 7 o'clock Over there, they're crouching, gun in hand, under circumstances superficially similar but about as dif- ferent basically as could be imagined Our shotgun army is one of peace (for everyone but the ducks); the armies of Europe are killing men as it seems to be open season on the species again in those parts. There is no open season on men in Southeast Alaska. A little care on the part of every hunter will keep opening day and the entire season free of ac- cidents, Another thing everyone a fair chance at the birds straight up. A couple of shots at 6:55 will have all the in order’ to give hold your fire until it is 7 o'clock ducks on the flat stirred up and whirring away from the hunters. Trigger fingers will begin to-itch a good while before the hour, especially if been crouching in the cold mud for any length of time. But to jump the gun is to be unfair to hundreds of fellow-hunters who want to observe the law. Set your fire until 7 o’cloc Good luck and good sport! opening you've hold your atch before you leave town; ; then be careful every time you pull the trigger. STRIKE | weeks, For the first time in sb news of war and crisis is crowded out of the headlines this week by a story from the Pacific Coast. | It's a doubly good sign, for Alaskans, for the news which overshadows even developments is that there will be no shipping tieup on October 1. After months of bickering and thrgatening, a contract has been signed by the International Long- war shoremen's and Warehousemen's Union and the Waterfrot Employers’ Association renewing for an indefinite period the present agreement in force on the Pacific Coast waterfront. The contract cannot be terminated until after 60 days not 50 it should be good for two months at least This is good news to the Pacific C news to Alaska. The union and employers should con- tinue their negotiations so they can have all their troubles ironed out before another strike cris 60, 90 or 120 days hence. We've given up hoping for a longer peace than that. and good is arises BLESSINGS OF CIVILIZATION Archeologists report that a race of New Mexican Indians, more than ten centuries ago, lived in houses constructed entirely underground, probably as a meas- ure of self-protection Of course these Indians were little than savages.

There was much of this while America was endeavor to remain aloof from the first World War, and present circumstances por- tend that there will be more this time. The successful maintenance of our chosen role will depend largely upon the efficacy of the United States’ counter-espionage organization, -first in safe- guarding national interests, and later, after the ex- pected enactment of the cash-and-carry neutrality statute, in safeguarding also the manufacture and export of vital war materials. That the latter will be no easy matter is indicated by the peacetime instances botage in California aircraft plants engaged in the manufacture of planes for France and England. The United States, however, is vastly better pre- pared for counter-espionage than it was a quarter of a century For one thing, counter-espionage has been placed upon an organized basis. Early last spring arrangements were made to coordinate the ctivities of secret service agencies such as the Postal Inspectors, special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Treasury agents, Immigration Inspectors and Passport Inspectors. Congress this summer approved a 50 per- cent increase in the appropriation for the Military Intelligence Division, which enables an expansion ot the staff of the army’s “G-2 Division” to a total of 102 officers, headed by a General, instead of a Colonel as previously. The Treasury Department has approxi- £ of ago. mately 3,000 agents available for counter-espionage as- | ignments.

This is a boom rate for steel, where production very rarely approaches an actual 100 percent and anything above 60 to 70 percent is mighty good business. For the nation the operating rate is now 71. The spurt in steel brings the Great Laxes carryins: trade to what promises to be the busiest fall in te?

The traditional summer slump was lacking. Thus while war conditions abroad have given a sudden impetus to some industries such as aviation, a good part of the present atifying increase in busi- ness has a more wholesome foundation.

The Courage- ous is the largest fighting vessel lost by any nation |in action since the battle of Jutland and the first | large warship to be sunk by a submarine. Although the Courageous was an old ship, built in 1916, and carrying only 3-inch armor, the lo: should not be minimized since major ships of the Brit- | ish fleet had been considered proof against submarine | attack The submarine is primarily effective against mer- chant shipping, and in this field the German U-boats although there is as yet no prospect that they can cut off British sea-borne supplies. | In the first two weeks, 21 British merchant ships with a total of 123,000 tons were sunk as against only four German ships of 14,764 total tonnage. At the start of the war there were 21,000,000 tons of British shipping afloat. The loss to date has been about one- half of 1 percent of all British merchant shipping | Germany has lost about one-quarter of 1 percent of ships of German registry. On the other hand, the British blockade of the North Sea has shut off neutral shipping, except from Baltic ports. The German sources of supply, however. now include Russia, a big difference from the situa- tion during the World War. | Neither the U-boat campaign nor the Britisk blockade shows any signs of being capable of effecting |a quick decision in this conflict.
