eral aid on each project under the dct would amount to 50 percent plus 49'% percent, making 99 percent in all. We do not, of course, expect any such gift But we do expect, and are entitled to receive, a great deal more than we have been getting. Hesse suggests that Alaska could well use about two mil- lion dollars a year for highway maintenance and | much needed new construction. Maintenance on sur present 2,385 miles of vehicular roads he figures| 1t $300 per mile per year. Under his plan of an' orderly cxpansion program, maintenance would cost about $800,000 per year, due to constantly increasing mileage. He suggests a 12-year program, with new work each year to amount to about twice the cost cepublication of all news dispatches credited to it or not other- of naintenance. Such a program would give us §L-» credited in this pever and also the local news nublilhefll‘:llmm, $20,000,000 worth of new highways in the |12 vears and would maintain roads, all at a cost of about $2,150,000 per year. Toward this Alaska would contribute 15 percent, or $322,500 per year. This appears fair, based as it is, both upon Alaska’s legitimate needs in highways and the Territory's ability to pay. “Road construction is the outstanding need of Alaska without which it can never grow or prosper,” Hesse says, adding that “we can never hope to have a large permanent popuation until we have more highways nor can we hope for expanding in- idustrial development. | .There is no reason why the benefits of the Federal Highway Act, intended for all the States and Ter- ritories, should be withheld for Alaska.

Cross-Channel Shelling (New York Times) The range of the German big guns that have been shelling the Dover area in England from em- placements across the Channel has now been ex- tended so that their shells fall some 12 miles farther inland. The German hope is believed to be even- ually to drop shells on London. -‘Indeed, Italian | zircles have proclaimed this to be the ultimate goal It is probably feasible. “Big Bertha” of the last war shelled Paris from the Hindenburg Line 60 miles away and later extended the range to 70 miles when the line was withdrawn.

International Affairs: Accordlng to the stars there is little likeli-! hood that this country will be in- vaded, but there will be great in- crease of perils from within. Un- rest and discontent will be foment- ed among college folk, in addition |to workers in many trades. Parti- |san feelings will be aroused by those who believe that they are honestly helping the republic, which has become the greatest of all in national strength and achieve- ment.
