PREPARE FOR THE FOURTH.
All Alaskan cities along the coast arc preparing tor a big
celebration on July 4. Seward is to have a three-day celebra
tion, Valdez is preparing fora big time, and Anchorage expects
to make things hum.
(\trdova people should bestir themselves and make some
effort to celebrate the greatest anniversary in American
history.
It is not necessary to have a “red fire" celebration, but it
is advisable to make some sort of showing which will let the
people in the surrounding districts know we are alive.
In order to make any celebration a success, no matter Imw
small it may he, organization is necessary, and it is up to the

WESTERN SITUATION.
The Tt utous facing Verdun have put tliemsclvo in a
strange position. They attacked, hoping to go through with a
ni'li, or nl least of so weakening the French as to crowd hack
the line miles toward Paris. After two months of severe fight
in- tin* (iernians have lost tremendously, and their attack, on
tin- whole, is a failure, yet they dare not let go. I f they relax in
the least the French now have such a great lorce massed at
Verdun the\ not only hold their own lines ,hut insist in walking
over the border after the Germans.
If tlie Germans withdraw their large force around Verdun
such a serried French host now gathered in that region will
push right through. Like the small hoy holding to the top ot j
the fence above the bulldog, the Teutons must hold on for fear
I* st in dropping hack they he eaten up immediately. As much
as the Germans might like now to switch their once mobile
force from the French front, they find it no longer is a mobile
force, but absolutely necessary where it is in order to hold in
dock the large counter weight of armed warriors under the
tii color ,now being augmented daily by the liussianfC il Ger
many now switch a number of corps Irom the \ erdun front, as
previously was her wont, to attack on her eastern frontier —
sma ll, am! through to Metz will go the western massed enemy.
At first it seemed forts were the only defense. Now in
fantry in -rent numbers contests the open field, supported by a
tremendous phalanx of belching artillery. \\ itli the forts wiped
out .it is revealed that there is no complete substitute for tlesli
and' blood. Men are the real telltale factors in the great pi
votal western fight. Forts and mechanical devices have their
share in the action, but the struggle continues to hinge on the
tight where the distinguishing feature is that of man to man,
flesh to flesh.
France's magnificent achievement, aided by the stalwart al
lies ,in bolding the west, is doing the great work of attrition,
not alone in cutting down German military units, but in break
ing down the morale of the Teutonic peoples at home and of the
allies of the central coalition. The gradual wearing on these
lines will bring the ultimate collapse.—Dawson News.
SUSTAINING A HOME PAPER.
There is one stronghold in every community that the mail
order house has not been able to reach. This is the home town
newspaper. In the face of all kinds of bribery the home news
paper has always stood its ground and steadily refused the ad
vertising of mail order houses. Right now millions are being
spent by the “catalogue kings” in a continuous attempt to se
cure the co-operation of the home paper. Rut the country edi
tor is standing solidly by his home community. He turns down
all kinds of inducements.
\li- Business Man, do you follow this plan. V hen a nice
circular or slick salesman appears from some outside house
singing the praises ot embossed stationery or patent sales sys
tems that require constant orders for printing, do you fall for
it ’ How many of you who “holler” the loudest about patron
izing home industries practice what you | reach when it comes
to printing?
Don’t forget that the dollar that stays at home is a “de
velopment dollar,” while the one you give wings very seldom
comes back.—Fairbanks News-Miner.
