Ill THE FIGHT
Warren Nelson, of the firm of
Welding' & Nelson, wholesale and
retail general merchandise at Mc
Carthy was a visitor in Skagway
while the flteamer Northwestern was
in port, enroute home via Cordova
after a visit since July; 10th In Se
attle, Portland aad Tacoma.
Mr. Nelson is a native of Sweden,
but he ia now a staunch andi loyal
American, and the fact that the
country off his Difth is not aiding
the Allies In the war against the
Hun, ft a matter of great! mortifica
tion to bim.
He called attention to the fact
tiiat the Prussians have over ridden
every law of decency; hag broken
every convention, ard through their
repeated acts of cruelty and fright
fulnesa have forfeited every Qonsld
aton at the hands of civilization.
"I R elieve that Sweden can be in
luced by President Wilson to get
into the war along with the allies,"
said Mr. Nelson, "and I suggest
that the Allies agree to give Swe
den either Finland or the north
coast of Germany as her part of
the sioils.
"Sweden has bzu.uuu wameu
soldiers that could be mobilized in
24 hours, " said' Mr. Nelson, "and
this army is trained to the utmost
and capable of meeting any like
number of men in, the world. In
addition to this army the first jv
serves number over 400,000 able
bodied men and these could e put
under arms within a few days. It
is only a stone's throw from the
Swedish south coast to the north
coast of Germany and Sweden has
ampl& shipping facilities, which
could he protected by its navy, to
land this entire force on the Ger
i man coast' in *. most astonishingly
short time. Then it would be a
repitition of Napoleon's campaign,
when he attacked the Prussians
from the rear,
"The entry of Sweden into the
war would give the Allies the sweep
of the Baltic Sea, and w-ith a
fleet or aeroplanes Berlin could
De demolished and that isVhat the
civilized' world desires.
"Had I thought that I could have
gained an audience with President
Wilson," concluded Mr. Nelsom, "I
certainiy would have gone on to
Washington when I was in the
States, and laid my plans before
him. Sweden is starving. The peo
ple there are rolling in wealth,
but their gold is worthless. They
can buy nothing for there is
nothiog for sale. From papers
which I receive from Swetfeu I
find th?t the want columns » are
filled with offers to "trade" a
pound of butter for sugar, cofee
for tea, bran for wheat, it is
just t case of some person ;aving
some one commodity alone and lack
ing all others. Now ig the time,
and I sincerely believe that the
Swedish government could be in
duced to get in, and' her entry
would goon bring about the defeat
of the hated Huns."

It was announced sometime ago
that the government planned to
gather up all the confiscated liquor
in the territory aiid re-distill it for
the alcohol contained in it. This,
however, Mr. Mahoney, believes will
not be done. • -
Thousands upon thousands of dol
lars worth of liquor is now stored
in the court house, in beer, bonded
whiskey and liquors Of ail sorts.
