In honor to the memory of the men who gave their lives for their country in that first war, we, 1 nation and a part of the civilized world, should hamefaced in admitting that their sacrifices > in vain. Yet, as we look around at a world iin in flames, as the Four Horsemen once again the skies in a large portion of our obe, we must confess that once again the very 5 of destruction which those men of 1918 fought end forever are now loosed anew on | a allop across nd died to inkind. And from one angle, those lives lost some 22 years ago may not have been laid down in vain. We people of the United States and all other nations engaged in that first great war have been careless with the peace they won for us. But if the memory today of their sacrifices will add steel to our de- termination to this time stamp out destructive wars for all time, we may once more lay wreaths on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, with the full know- ledge that the job he so nobly started has been fin- ished, as he hoped it would be finished. » That Alaska is doing her duty in preparing to meet the challenge of dictation is mutely evidenced by hundreds of young men in the Territory who are now, or soon will be, training in the Chilkoot Barracks and Fort Richardson centers. Comparatively only a handful of young Alaskans | out, went to the training bases in mid-September, when the Alaska National Guard, which had been dyill- ing for more than a year, became the National Guard pf the United States and was. inducted into service from Juncau, Ketchikan, Fairbanks and An- | their forces have chorage.

These men who were first called to the | colors have become the training nucleus for a vast Alaska defense force in the process of being built. And so, in this unpredictable world, Armistice Day has become Defense Day. That such a situa- tion should come about seems to us the prime anti- humanitarian sin against our so-called civilization. It seems almost incongruous in this Twentieth Century. Man to has learned to fly through the air, Isend his messages through the ether waves around the world, to travel along the ground at tremendous speeds, to harness the waterfalls and light his cities and turn wheels with them, to, heal diseased tissues with light rays, to fight the germs which once wiped whole nations, to determine the God-made weather elements before they strike, to feed himself more abundantly and cloth himself more luxuriantly than people of former ages ever dreamed of doing. Yet, once each quarter-century or so, these master men, of modern times must turn all their talents to killing and destroying. They protest the hideous waste, the inhuman ravage of their warfare, but at the same time they seem powerless to use this vast store of knowledge and wisdom to stop the mad debacle. Does the secret of peace lie in some ]yet, unplumbed depth of education, or does greed and lust for power make us temporarily turn our |backs on the civilization we have worked so hard to build? azi” Too? Are the Pretzels * (Philadelphia Record) Beer? Ugh! 1It's terrible. But Beethoven? That's Nazi So declares the W.C.T\U,, in a manifesto calling upon the National Symphony Orchestra, at Wash- ington, D. C,, to stop the sale of beer and pretzels at its “pop” concerts—a custom which Washing- tonians seem to find pleasant indeed. Says a W.C.T.U. spokesman: “What is more inimitably German than concerts at which beer is served? Beer and Beethoven don't mix. That's the Nazi way of life.” All of which seems to make a whale of a lot of Americans into Nazis—over night. True they don’t all listen to Beethoven while they enjoy their beer and pretzels; it may be Bach, Wagner, Tschaikowsky or Gershwin. And they don't all listen to the National Symphony; it may be the name band at the night club, or the jukebox around the corner. What's more, they'd better not eat cheese in their sandwiches, or liverwurst on rye (especially with onion). We understand Nazis do those things, too, if they can get the cheese, the bread, the liver- wurst, the rye and the onion. So, once we start making sure we do nothing the Nazis do—we've got our work cut out. Trouble with this program is that the head of the Nazi outfit is a guy named Hitler. And Hitler is a notorious prohibitionist. Now what can we do 'bout that? beer with There are no doubt numerous and well-meaning people in the United States who wish to see their country keep out of “a shooting war.” But what are you going to do when you are persistently shot at? The English people are demanding stern mea: ures against Hitler. To beat him, they feel, will require a western front, not just an oratorical affront. Alf Landon, who is now opposing Roosevelt for a fourth term, is consistent. He also opposed the second term. f/ashingion : Merry- | 0-Round (Continued from Page One) the treaty for the | operating there. defense of the U. S. A. con- was signed.
