THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1940. I'when the British battle fleet under Jellicoe met the|{rasoemoemsemomsoemnos German high seas fleet under Von Scheer and fin- ally forced the high seas fleet to retire to its bases, never to emerge during the remaining two years of | Comparison is difficult, because Jutland was a single fleet action between midafternoon and early| evening of one momentous day in May, while the| “battle” we are following now is really a series of engagements from a point near the scene of Jutland| to a point 200 miles north of the -Arctic Circle at| Narvik, | Judging by the number of ships engaged, the | two battles a quarter century apart are of similar here were 248 war vessels on both sides Probably the | number is similar today, or somewhat smaller. But| the total tonnage is definitely smaller now, for at| Jutland Britain had 37 capital ships and Germany 27. Neither power could muster even half as many | today as then, if they had all their big ship strength concentrated for this test. { The importance of a battle, however, depends on the stakes and the outcome, Jutland was epoch- making because the British, although they lost 15| ships to Germany's 11 and roughly twice the ton- nage, succeeded in keeping the high seas rleet off the open oceans thereafter. Jutland established Britain’s command of the seas. The present sea cenflict is not a fleet in the proper sense, but an attempt by Germany to occupy and dominate Norway and then perhaps gain | command of the waters adjacent. It is also an attempt by Britain to isolate units of the German navy and destroy them. Most important of all, perhaps, Britain is trying to force the Skagerrak and bar German access to Norway by water. This latter an enterprise Britain never would risk battleships and cruisers to undertake in the World Wwar. The British are taking longer chances in this Until the final issue of this far-flung sea en- counter is known, therefore, any comparison with Jutland is a matter of eloguence and not military dimensions. action history.

Obstructive influences may affect the progress of ambi- tious projects, especially those un- der Government direction, Women may find' disappointment if they pursue public work or engage in reform movements, Heart and Home: The stars smile upon unselfish service today. In the home there is a promising sign presaging wise plans and re- sultant good fortune. Love affairs are under a cenfiguration foretell- ing fickleness and deception, Girls will find happiness today in rou- tine work and mild recreations. Business Affairs: Continued pros- perity is predicted for American merchants and manufacturers. In- creased expenditures for prepa: ness will be profitable due to ex- pansion of war activities in Eu- rope and Asia. Pre-convention cam- paign movements will reveal per- plexities among leaders of the two major political parties as well as among the great mass of voters A new leader will gain popularity. Trade and commerce Wwill reflect uncertainties to a mild degree National Issues: In several states relief will assume a major signifi- cance which compels national at- tention. The disgrace of near-star- vation and under - nourishment among people all over the earth will spur Government agencies to- ward wise and scientific ways of solving unemployment problems. Demonstrations in which the indi- gent take part may become wide- spread. International Affairs: Recognition of the full meaning of a world war will now have marked effect in e 20 YEARS AGO #%% empire o - oo R p— o s e APRIL 24, 1920 Armenia was to be an independent state. This decision was arrived at by the Allied Supreme Council, because of the unwillingness of the United States and other countries to assume the mandate. Mayor R. E. Robertson welcomed the Legion delegates to Juneau in behalf of the people of the city. The Standard Packers Company had taken over the Tenakee Fish- eries Company’s plant at Tenakee for operation and the tender Mona- ghan was in port with T. J. Tennyson, Vice-President, and Edward Craw- ford, Accountant, aboard. The' fact that gasboat insurance for gll classes of boats was at this time available at Teasonable rates was good news to the owners of boats in Alaska. The arrangement was brought about by Alexander McLean, marine surveyor, representing some of the largest insurance companies in the United States, who was In Juneau conferring with H. R. Shepard, insurance agent. The gashoat Pilot, owned by Henry Roden and operated by K.
