The London Daily Mail asked the British War Office not to allow a certain to be released after the article, which was about a new anti-aircraft device, had been passed by the censors. The War Office heeded the appeal and closed down on the item at the last minute. To disclose to the enemy this new item of war- fare may or may not have been important. But it serves to illustrate how a censor may act. Presum- ably the censor’s job is to consider one major,ques- tion: Will the publication of any story tell the en- emy something he doesn’t already know or something he may be able to use in the future? The natural tendency of a Government censor un- fortunately is seldom coniined to this question. Too often, the tendency of the censor is to suppress un- favorable war news and stress the favorable angle. " ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION.

Finally there are U. S. troops in EGYPT, ICELAND and GREEN- LAND, which brings our foreign fighting stations up to 31. NOTE: Supplies are so difficult to get to some of these areas, that one U.

A, | Only a few inside the War De»l partment know it, but Field Mar- | shal Rommel, who lunged almost to Alexandria last month, studied his military strategy in the United States. He was permitted by the War De- partment to come- here and study the battle fields of the War Between the States. These battles featured | some of the most brilliant general- | ship of any war in history, espec- ially for fast-moving lightly-equip- ped troops. | As a result, Rommel has adopted the tactics of Lee and Stonewall Jackson in the Libyan campaign. | Using fast tanks and armored cars, | he roved over the desert with the further use of codes in transmitting messages to Madrid because of sus- pected information which has gone to the enemy. Sending Spaniards to U. S. con- centration camps would be unique in diplomatic history, since Cuba has not even broken diplomatic re- lations with Spain. But some Span- iards in Cuba are as pro-German, and as dangerous, as if they were enemy aliens. Ever since the Spanish-American war, Spanish immigrants have come to Cuba until now they number be- | W. J. Erskine, Chairman, Board of | tween 400,000 and 500,000.

NAZIS The Justice Department has just run across an interesting letter showing how deep-rooted Nazi sen- timents were in some quarters of this country before the war. The letter, dated August 2, 1938, bears at the top an American Eagle over at a California training station of his son, William Stevenson Ramsey, to become a Lieutenant in the United States Army Air Corps. Lieut. Ramsey has completed a seven months course at the Califor- nia school. Dr. Ramsey was able to visit him recently before returning to Juneau after his vacation. He has no word as to where his son will be stationed. ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS Sealed bids will be received by Trustees, Griffin Memorial Hospital, at the office of W. J.
