THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA 2,800,000 feet of airplane spruce is in the water at the site, not rafted and 13,400,000 feet have been felled and are between stump and water. This makes a total of 36,281,000 board feet. In addition, much hemlock and low grade spruce has been produced for Alaskan sawmills--19,812,000 board feet delivered, 4,227,000 board feet in the water, 10,700,000 board feet felled and between stump and water—a total of 34,739,000 board feet. The thing to be kept in mind is that the figures would probably be much larger for another year of production because the roads have been built and the camps set up and the organization and process perfected. The German Game (New York Times) Germany no longer has any hope of total victory. That is apparent both in the strategy of her military leaders and the pronouncements of her propagandists. She is fighting defensively on every front and is not likely to regain the initiative. That is the meaning of the withdrawal of Hitler's legions in the East, the desperate tactics of the Luftwaffe in the West and of the changed tons of such periodicals as Dr. Goebbels’ Das Reich, which have switched from earlier descriptions of the glorious “New Order” to attempts to convince the German people that they are fighting NIPPED IN THE BUD Upon the recommendation of the War Production Board, Alaska’'s Edna Bay Spruce Logging Project will probably be closed down this summer, and it looks very much as if pressure interests from the Northwest States are behind it Rep. Fred Norman of Washington issued a state- ment on the shutdown from the nation’s capital the now for their very lives. Hitler and his Nazis have lost the war, but neither they nor the army are ready yet to concede defeat by agreeing to accept terms of unconditional surrender. The reason is that they still are nursing hopes that the Grand Alliance of Russia, Great Britain and the United States will disintegrate under the pressure of political problems and differences, and that they can then negotiate a compromise peace. That is the hope that keeps Germany in the war, and everything that is done or said to encourage that belief prolongs the conflict and adds to thg cost of victory. Mutual suspicion between Russia and her Western allies leaders are grasping. It may be that there are still some in Berlin who believe that the British, now in the fifth year of war, have grown weary of the strife and would welcome a surcease from fighting. But such a belief the last straw at which the Nazi | HAPPY BIRTHDAY FEBRUARY 15 Glen Kirkham Mrs. Glen Kirkham Mrs. Henry Schiegel Emil Hendrickson Charles Naghel Mike Chinovich HOROSCOPE | “The stars wncline but do not compel” D e WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 16 Benefic aspects dominate today.
