Uiouga the sucie elements which
tend 10 disturbance in other new
countries were present, there was
i'ttie crime . It was by demonstrat
ing that a handful of men could
.'argely prevent crime in a country
so vast that the mounted police
u-ally earned the reputation oi which
tiiey have every reason to be prou.l.
To develop and maiutain such a
■system in Alaska would cost an en
i rtuous sum yearly. But the fact
remains that the prospector and
i raveler in the lonesome places
accorded 110 protection and the tale
of murder done is one that has all
loo frequently to be told.
The Canadian mounted police are
Vractically soldiers invested with
volic© powers. They wear soldiers'
uniforms, draw soldiers' pay and
are drilled exactly the same as is
the mounted infantry of the regular
army. The government already is
maintaining in Alaska seveeral com
panies of troops, most of which have
lots of idle time on their hands. 1<
would seem quite feasible that suc'i
a system of patrolling as was usei
in the Canadian territory could ba
inaugurated by the soldiers, airl
that, if they were given police pow
ers, they could 6erve equally well
is deterrents of crime as did the
mounted police in the old days. A
certain number of men from each
post could be told off to the duty
and under a qualified instructor
trained especially for the work. At
each of the telegraph stations one
or more men in addition to the op
erators could be quartered and tho
trail between posts patrolled every
day
The smallness of the extra cost
that would be entailed in installing
such a system should appeal to tha
government and it would at least
be much better for the territory
than uo police force at all.

Soldier In Warfare.
THE GERMAN MILITARY SOCK.
It Is In the Form of a Large Napkin,

ty Different Ways to Relieve Pain.
The famous field marshal. Von
Moltke, once said that the Anglo-Sax
uus are a warlike people, but that the
Germans are a military people. The
Anglo-Saxon fights to the death when
war conies, careless of his previous
preparation. After the war Is over he
drops his arms, dismisses all thoughts
of war from his mind and returns to
his civil pursuits. The German, on the
other hand, feels iu time of peace as
■ keen an interest In war as he does in
the midst of a conflict, lie takes uote
of his errors lu one war and when
peace comes devotes himself to reme
dying there errors.
A German olliver who was visiting
America spoke <>f tile way ;ti which his
people addressed tlicin-elves to war
problems in time of peace
' "Llere is an excellent illustration." he
.said, and. lifting his loot, ue took oft

During ; lie Franeo-l'russlu'n war oi

forced inarches around Melz and on
to Sedan, our infantry was much Im

having a certain numher of men at a
ceriaiu point at a certain time for a
decisive stroke we were usually from
10 to per cent short, because so
many men had fallen out of the ranks
from sore feet.
"We .cot through twar nil right,
for our enemies were as badly off in
that respect as we were, hut as soon
as the war wis over the government
ordered every man in the service to

of footwear that would be more serv
