Tae request of V&ldez ami Fair
banks newspapers that the people
of Alaska back up the suggestion
of Col. Richardson that congress
be asued to appropriate enough
nrjiiey to complete the coast to
Fairbanks automobile road should
be granted. Col. Richardsoti esti
mates that $1,000 a milo would be
amply »o make a fairly good auto
mobile road of the long highway.
Whtlo the road from the coast to
Fairbanks has already been of in
estimable value to the people of
♦he interior, it is not rendering
them t'ue service that it would if
enough money could be expended
on it to provide a good automobile
road—one that would permit the
reduction of two or three days in
th_- time necessary to make a trip
ovi=r it, reduce the discomfort of
passengers, increase the carrying
capacity of automobiles, make it
le?s destructive to vehicles and less
crstlv to all concerned. The sum
u cttcsary to complete the road
—$385,000—is a comparatively
small one, wheu one considers that
its expenditure would add im
measurably to the efficiency of
the far greater sum that has been
expended already.
The circumstances that tne £"*
erumfiu already is constructing a
railroad to enter Fairbanks is no
argument against the completion o
the automobile road. The latter
travelses an entirely different sec
tion of tile country, and, if made
Into a satisfactory road, it would
be a great aid in building up and
developing rich areas of Alaska.

In auy army or navy at war it
m ty happen that a single rash
ofiicer breaks parole to gain liberty.
So actcd, recently, a French aviator
interned in Switzerland; and though
he had salved his hurt conscience
bv revoking his word In a letter to
thv S'A'isb commandant, he was at
once sent back with the ample
apologies of his government.
But what shall we say if sis
men tocetheT abuse the confidence
which a generous nation has placed
in their word of honor; if they aid
and abet and join each other in
committing what many generations
of officers and gentlemen have
agreed in branding as an iufamous
offense?
The war may be little affected by
the reported escape of six officers
of the Kronprinz interned at Nor
folk; live moral aspect of their
case is disturbing. Under a militar
code and stern and not yet super
ceded, their countrymen and fellow
officers might hope that they are
not escaped but drowned; dead
but not dishonored. Under that
code a bit of wreckage from the

HOW BANKERS REBUKED
1MIOTESX TO ALLIES' LOAN'
Orange, N. J.: Dr. William L.
Holt, health officer of South Orange
wrote the following letter to W. M.
Franklin, president of the Feopie's
Bank of East Orange:
"Please inform me as a deposit
or in the South Orange branch of
your bank whether the People's
Bank intends to subscribe to the
huge war loan to Great Britain and
her allias, which the Britlsii finan
cial agent Morgan is tryng to force
on the bankers of this country, by
the threat of Injuring American
trade still more than Britain has
already done if we refuse to loud
ii<.-r this huge sum of money with
out even security.

you muBt resent as I do, the cool
insolence of these English agents
who salt us to lend them more than
the contents of the United States
treasury when they have blockaded
all tho parte of Europe against us,
seized hundreds of millions oX dol
lars worth, of our exported and im
ported goods, and now even inter
fere with our trade in South Aim
erica.
"X have a right to know whether
a dollar of mine would go into this
Anglo-French loan if I continued de
positing in your bank."
Hero Is Mr. Franklin's reply:
"I have your letter of yesterday
and have carefully noted its coin
tents. As tho bank has already
among its securities some obliga
tions of corporations having con
tracts for 'munitions'—which un
doubtedly would not have your ap
proval—wo suggest that you had
bettor close your account now and
save yourself from anxiety as to
the use the bank is making of your
money."

On the Side.
Tho big man with tiie bevel front
paused near the guess-wlthln-th ree
pounds-of-your-welght machine, and at
once tho crowd closed In to see the fun.
The welgbmaster looked him over,
front and back; then announced sol
emnly: "You'll weigh 107 pounds on
the front side and 107 pounds On the
back side, altogether 214 pounds. Sit
down In the chair, please."
The pointer flew around to 220
pounds. The crowd laughed, the weigh
mnster glowered n bit over the loss of
his dime, and the wife of the big man
said, with a giggle:
"Ho missed It six pounds on the front
side."—Indianapolis News.
