NATiUNAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspwpers, 1431 murth Avenue Bldg, Seattle, TVasiL. FISH TRAPS OUT lished over a 10-year period according to the vote cast in Tuesday's Alaska General Election, that if Congress puts its approval on the suggestion Fish traps ar The vote, so far tabulated from returns received from the four divis aska Is as follows: To abolish fis 15,941, To continue fish traps, 1916. The tabula vote in the First Division, from returns received from 33 of the 56 precincts is: abolish fish traps, 5432, and to continue, 937. Take out your p il and figure just how the other three divisions voted. It is remarkable, inas- much as two of the divisions have no traps and one division has nearly a minus quantity, too. Some good campaigning was done by some one or some organizations and to what purpose may soon be forthcoming, during the approaching Territorial Leg- islature. There may be a rude awakening Our Peril in Alaska (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) the straining crisis in Berlin flares into open immediately and all of Germany very quickly, and will probably control most of Europe in a matter of days or weeks. | But none of these will be major operations, for !the simple reason that no major opposition can be ioffered, and the Russians will attain their objectives Bditor and Manager | by simply following the military routine their un- | | disputed superiority in Western Europe will allow. | This would, of course, be a spectacular victory for the Russians and a staggering blow to the Western | powers, but not a conclusive action. The plans of retalfatory warfare have surely taken it into account, and the strategy of reprisal could still be directed against the heart of Russia, and thus the possibility of containing the Russians on that broad front would still exist. But in the meantime the Russians would be launching the assault uvon which they would count for a quick decision and total victory, and which we would not only be powerless to stop with existing defenses but against which retaliatory warfare wouold be of enormous difficulty and doubtful success. This would be the inevitable Russian airborne assault upon Alaska, for which we are wholly unpre- pared and to which we are apparently totally blind. We maly be sure this assault is alréeady fully mounted by the Russians in Siberia, and would be one of the initial acts by the Russians in the event of war and would undoubtedly be coordinated with the first overt acts of war in Germany. Once in possession of the major Alaskan air bases we have constructed, but would not be able to de- fend, the Russians would be in a position to make bombing runs over every industrial center in con- tinental America. The ultimate tragedy in this situatipn, unlike that prevailing in Europe, would be the fact that if we managed to institute retaliation and reprisals at all— which is gravely doubtful—they would have to be against the Russians in Alaska and not in Russia | {tself. In other words, it would be war wholly in America, with all the fighting and destruction on American soil. It would be the heart of America and not of Russia which would be exposed., Alaska, and not Berlin, will be the vital objective in the war with Russia, if it comes. America, and not Europe, will be the fighting ground and the place of decision. » All this we have made possible and inevitable by neglecting our defenses in Alaska. Why are we still neglecting Alaska? We do not know how much time remains to us for the repair of this tragic neglect. But why do we not use such time as does remain to us? Only last spring our military authorities moved a streng comtingent of troops into Alaska because of the critical situation created by the Russians. This was not enough to make Alaska safe, but it was indicative of our awareness of our danger. But now these troops are being moved out of Alaska, for the amazing and incomprehensive reason that no winter quarters were available for them. Our peril in Alaska is immediate and it is grim. We have already wasted too much vital time in doing too little about it, which is the same thing as warfare, as it may do at he first doing nothing at all . major Russian as: will inst our Why do we still persist in vfastmg more vital , forces in Germany, or anywhere in Europe. time, when the price of neglect might be the loss of Of course the Russlans will take over Berlin a war? | 2 lic should be like the smart law- p 0 SING vE N 0 fhe Washington N i) nh e e PR iN OF his client’s tears are hot.
