TO DESTROY SUBMARINES.
Franco and' England liave begun to breathe easier when
contemplating the submarine. A New A orker named AN illiam
Dubiller, working with Professor Tissot of the French Acade
my, says they have invented a sea telephone by which a sub
marine in motion anywhere within seventy-five miles can he
located and a destroyer sent to sink it; that from the deck of a <
ship on which he came out of Boulogne harbor, he saw a sub
marine, located and destroyed. It is a small instrument, hut it
records the vibration of the propeller of a submarine and also
its speed and the direction it is moving in. He says the French .
harbors and coast are protected’by them and that they are being
installed around the coasts of the British iles.
The English claim that they have invented a new type of
mine for destroying submarines, and a new and swift ocean
motor boat to overtake and annihilate submarines and that they
have already destroyed more than fifty German submarines.
WANT BUNNELL TO ENTER RACE THE RACE.
Tf the report he true that Judge Bunnell is seriously con
sidering his candidacy for Delegate to Congress he will prove
n most formidable opponent to Delegate Wickersham’s aspira
tions for re-election. While it is true that these men were
pitted against each other in the last fight for this office, it is also
true that at the time Bunnell was practically unknown through
out the territory. Since then, however, he has succeeded' to
Wickersham’s old place on the bench and what’s more he has
made good. As a result the residents of the Tanana valley,
who have never given an opponents of "\\ ickersham’s enough
votes to “pad a ertuch” are clamoring for Bunnel to again
enter the race and promise him that undivided support that
was heretofore polled against him. This is in truth a peculiar
condition, but politics take strange turns and possibly the vot
ers of the interior want to send a representative to W ashington
that has some party ties and may lx- abl to secure something
constructive for Alaska. Whatever the cause there a grow
ing sentiment among the interiorites in favor of making Bun
nell the next delegate.
CARRANZA AND MEXICO.
The New York Times prints a two-page interview with
Carranza. The important features are that Diaz permitted his
friends to absorb most of the values of Mexico; that foreigners'
under special previleges received too great a reward; that when
he and his friends obtain control all the opportunities ot Mexi
co will be equal to all; that a special fund will be established to
reimburse foreigners for all their legitimate losses in the war;
that foreigners will be protected and encouraged to invest their
money, but that they, the same as wealthy Mexicans, will only
be permitted to obtain a fair return on investments.
From that statement it is clear that with peace established
and’ order maintained, Mexico will be a first-class country for
foreigners to keep away from. The wild Irishman said: “All
the money in the world should be divided equally among all the
people of the world'.”
“What good would that do?” asked a friend. “You would
not have a cent in a week. ”
“O, bedad, w’d have another division,” was the reply.
That all men should have equal opportunities is true; but in
a land like Mexico that is impossible. Fourteen out of fifteen
men in Mexico are quassi serfs, improvident peones, and with
the great host of them there is but here and there one whose
ambition is not satisfied for the time being with a pint of corn
meal, a thimble full of salt, a watermelon or a few bananas and
a bottle of aguad'enta.
What are opportunities to such creatures? Dias .under
stood them and the impossibility of their advancement and so
besought foreigners to come and help make Mexico a country.
From the very nature of tilings a comparatively few men
must manage the property of Mexico and direct the needed work
to insure any progress. ^
it would be an injustice to Carranza to think that he does
not understand this perfectly, and it would be a safe guess to
assume that lie, if he can obtain the place he covets, will from
the first month be sending such funds as he can secure to some
foreign bank, so that when the next revolution comes he may d'o
as Diaz and so many others of his countrymen have done, have
a comfortable next-egg for his old age.
Poor Mexico! Long vet will be the way that her people;
must struggle out of the dark up into light.

The auto trucks on the government trail are experiencing
considerable trouble in making time over roads where the mud
is knee-deep, but as soon as the freeze-up comes the distance
from Fairbanks to Chitina should be covered in threedays.

The All Alaska Review contains an interesting article from
the pen of Major W. P. Richardson, in which he explains the
cause of the friction existing between the Alaska Road Com
mission and Delegate Wickersham.
