LU
THE MATERIAL AIMS OF HER
MAN V
Germany believes that she has
the right .o dominate the world. ll'C
luilttaristii- autocracy believes that
this war is ;i step toward such world
domination, but th.;it German dts
manrts for the present may rest
satisfied with substantial gains in
Europe. For years German politi
cal writing h3s been full cf tlie
••terms of peace" after a war. and
today those terms remain unaltered.
The Russian negotiations have
served ""to prove that what has for
a K>utr time been public opinion
is now official opinion. The tiuo
iaitons will show this.
Firs* *he more general purposes:
"If we come victorious out of this
war. ve shall b»» the first people
oil earth, a rich, stream of sold will
pour over our laud." "Expansion j
of our power both East and West, if
possible a ho over seas; political
and military domination combined,
i.idiS30lubly connected with eco
nomical expansion .this is our war
aim." "The territory open to fu
ture German expansion must ex
tend fiMin the Xorth Sea and the
Baltic to the Persian Gulf. ab
sorbing the Netherlands and Luxem
bourg, Switzerland, the whole ba
sin of the Danube, the Balkan Pen
insula and Asia Minor."
Secf*r. the immediate aims:
"Ou.- relations •with Turkey have
drawn us into this war, . . . the
Bagdad Railway must be extended
t>y us to tho oi>t*n sea, even to India
itstlf." "Belgium must remain un
der German domination . . . there
exist" no better line of attack for
rhe German army in a future war
with France." whom it is necessary
"to weaken to such a degree that
she can. never again be dangerous
to us." "Will anybody believe that
we will hand over thej lands which
we have occupied iu the West, ou
which the blcod of our people has
flowed?" "We are not axi institute
for lengthening the life of dying
states."
But it is on Poland and Western
Russia that Germany has all along
fixed her eyes. "We ought not to
let fall the sword from our hand he
fore we have assured our future.
Our eastern boundaries must not
remain "where they are." "Livon
ia, Kuriand. Esthonia. have been
for mop; th^n seven centuries sls
ter-couuuk-i through Ger
na:r traditions. It is trud Germans!
lo not yet represent 10 per cent I
>f the inhabitants; but their |
haract^r filters through, the whole.*i
'Let us bravely organize great
orccd migrations of the inferior
c>'Vles. posterity will be grateful
0 us. We tpust coerce them! This
s one of the tasks of war. Such
OT'Hl migrations may appear hard,
>ut it is the only solution. [ . . The
n»ffieient peoples, discouraged
iid rendered indifferent to the fu.
,nre by the spectacle of the superior!
>ner?.v of their conquerors, may |
hen crawl slowly towards the peace*
ul death of weary and hopeless seia
iity." The writer of this was
lere viewing especially the ncm-Ger
nan populations of South America.
How is America Interested to the
European political and territorial
•esults of this war? Well, first,
•ve are at war. Germany believes
hat peace now, on the terms she
jutlines. means a Germany" victori
ous. That means a continuance of
military autocracy in Germany — a
XMitii.uauoe of an aggressive policy—<
1 continuance of German faith in
Its special destiny to rule the world.
Against that German ideal we
ire fighting. But we aref also fight
ing 'o save the Americans from the
•next step" in German imperialism.
In the first year of the war, the one|
crreat fear expressed by German of-1
firers was that a long war in Eu
rope would "cause America to wake
up." Wake up to what? Not
to the need of American participa
tion in the war. The German offic
ers thought America negligible! for
th.s war. But they did, and do,
fear that America would awake to
the danger to herself, her ideals,
her institutions, her interests, and
that being awakened, Germany's
iieM step in world domination would
ne harder than the present one.
There is no hope of a changed
Germany — of establishing those
peaceful and friendly relations
which should determine Interna
tional conduct—if Germany gains
her objects, or any part of them, in
this war. She has set her heart
u.H'n certain material objects. We
must see to it that she does not
gain them. Then her first step
blocked, we may hope that her peo
ple may awaken from their dream o<
empire. We fight for a world peace
yes; but we also fight for self-pres.
ervaiion, and our bast'chance to
save ourselves is this present mo
aiei.t—now.

Frank Buteau, a sourdough of
Alaska for the past 35 or 40 ye^rs,
who ha® been iu Alaska so long
thrt l.e even forgets the date he ar
ri*eC, asks the Farbanks Xews
-Miner to request restaurants and
ot^t-r to save all the bones they
mi/ u*e in making soup; that is,
Ik wishes them to save the dry bona
after they have boiled it out. Back
i:. 1SS9 he and others discovered a
way of making fine butter out of
these dry bones, he says, and he
wants to help Hoover now by mak
ing some more. After he makes
the outter from the first 100
pounds he will give the recipe to
the public to be used in conserv
ing. He savs he will call at the
res'aurants and collect these bones
whenever they are ready for him.
He believes all should help in
this, as he thinks he can demon
strate to the public that he has a
winner.

Some time ago the principal of
l" Farbanks public schools in
stituted the "School Savings Bank"
plan with a view to encouraging
thrift among the studeuts. The re
sults have been most gratifying. Of
ly" s'udents enrolled in the schools,
103 have availed themselves of the
savii gs bank privileges, and on
February 21. 1918, the total amount
to the credit of these pupils waa
$1714.25. With respect to the gov
ernment Liberty loans, the Fair
banks school children have been
making a remarkable record. One

Petrograd especially fur their comfort
and placed Miss Blanche Geary in
charge as manager. Miss Geary Is
well fitted for the task, for she Is the
building construction expert of the Y.

G. T. P. SPBIXG AND
SUMMER SCHKDrijEJ
The big three funnel steamships
Prince George and Prince Rupert
have been in drydocks at Prince
Rupert for their annua] overhauling,
being repainted inside and out, re
carpeted and refitted, and are in
the finest of trim for their spring
and summer schedules, according' to
W. G. Powel, local agent.
Be.'iuiing its spring schedule, the
S. S. Prince Rupert will leave
Skagway Monday p. m. April 8, 22,
and May 6, and weekly every Mon
day thereafter, saining direct thru
to Vancouver without transfer.
l^ast year Grand Trunk Pacific
steamers did not begin their sched
ule until June 16, two and one-half
months later than the present sea
son. The early service this year
is an indication of expected In
crease in passenger traffic. .
This service will be in effect un
til the beginning of the summer
schedule, commencing the latter
part if June; the first sailing in
the summer schedule from Skagw;y
being the S. S. Prince George June
29. The Prince George and Prince
Rupert will then alternate every
week. \ Grand Trunk steamer will
arrive iu Skagway every Friday
morning at 7 o'clock, and will re
main 5u port two days, or until af- J
ter the arrival of the White Pass
train oaturday evening.
Ow'i'r to the necessity of the
Prince Albert going in drydock for
its annual overhauling, the Prince
John will take over the Queen Char
lotte Island run temporarily, which
cancels here regular schedule to
Skagway March 23.
