The present system of control from
Washington Is quite unsulted to the
territory's nocds, and no amount of

leal Impossibility for men who have
spent their whole lives in the steam
heated official atmosphere of the
postal department at tho national
capital to understand conditions as
they exist In Alaska, and we should
cease to expect It. A high standard
of efficiency lu tho Alaska mail ser
vice can only result from actual ex
perience of prevailing conditions
gained by long residence In the In
terior summor tours of inspectors and
other officials bolng worse than use

ment based upon Inaccurate data,
Winston Spencer Churchill, first
lord of tho British Admiralty, has
recommended that Great Britain
'tad Germany stop building warships,
cancel their programs of construct
ion for 1913 and "stand pat" with
their present armament. This sen
sible suggestion looks to economy
if not to peace Great Britain now

eighty three to Gormany's twenty

He charncteized as Insensate folly
the present struggle for bigger, fast
er and more powerful naval equip
ment. Each yo.tr dreadnoughts and
cuns are moro powerful than before.
They not only surpass anything that
has beenp turned out by a possible
competitor, but render obseleto the
ships- In their owu navy that have
preceded them. The struggle Is n
?lersistent, ceaseless and remorseless
vaxte of hundreds of millions of dol
lars. "Every year," Mr. Churchill
explained, "all the naval powers art
making not only tho fleets of their
.rivals, but their own fleet, obsolote
without adding to their actual rela
tive strength or security. Could any
procss be moro stupid?"? Ex.
