BONDS GOOD INVESTMENT
If there still remain any who need
to lie ronvinred that Liberty bonds
are a safe investment a comparison
of American and Gorman financial ob
ligations should remove all doubt, ac
cording to a United States treasury
depart men) statement.
The total resources of the United
States are about two hundred and
ITfly billion dollars, and those of Ger
many before the war about eighty bil
lions. The national debt of the Unit
ed States, including the Third Liberty
loan, is twelve billions, and the debt
of Germany thirty billion dollars.
Before the war our government was
spending annually about one billion
dollars, and with interest, insurance
expense, and oliter charge- grew' • • ■.
out of tin war. this will he increased
by two billions, which must be raised
for annual revenue Germany will
be foiled to raise four Idlliotl dollars
yearly in addition to the eight bun
dred million dollars necessary for rev-|
enue before the war.
These annual debts may be in
creased as the war progresses, but
the relative values will remain the
same, and with annual earnings of
fifty billions it should he a small mat
ter for the United States to increase
its revenue front one billion to two
billion dollars.
RECLAIMING THE NORTHLAND j
Make the Northland from Bering
non to Labrador the greatest grazing
land and the one permanent pasture
of the world. This is the plan Vil
hjalmur Stefansson. the noted Arctic
explorer, will recommend to Ottawa.
The idea is sound. It deserves at
tention, and it is to he hoped that
one who has gained the reputation
of a northern authority such as Mr.
Stefansson enjoys will be able to get
the ear of the Canadian government in
the matter. The plan is not altogether
new insofar as it concerns the making
of a grazing land of this vast north
ern belt, as others have advocated the
Idea for years. But Mr. Stefansson
elaborates on the plan, and perhaps
can parade it where it will receive a
great deal of influential support. The
schheme cannot be expected to blos
som into a large and productive full
grown plant all at once, but it can be
so handled that perhaps the idea will ]
obtain root now and grow rapidly. }
Caribou, grazing throughout the North
have proved of great value as meat
to natives and whites. Reindeer, which 1
are akin to the caribou, are being in- :
treduced in Alaska in vast herds and
are making their owners wealthy. The
reindeer subsist on lichens, known as {
reindeer moss. Now comes Mr. Stef
ansson with the endorsement of the
reindeer or domesticated caribou for
the moss areas, and with the sugges
tion that the musk ox be introduced :
from the Arctic isles to subsist on
the grass areaH. The musk ox is a
cold climate animal, and flourishes
far north among the treeless sections
and through the bitter wind swept
wastes the year round. If he will do
as well in the forest areas of north
ern Canada and Alaska, milltons of
square miles will be suitable for him
which now are of little value, and
thereby would be found of use for
lands which seem doomed otherwise
to waste. Mr. Stefansson predicts
that if the musk ox he properly pro
tected by law' he may become a
source of tallow, hides, milk, wool
and meat, thereby making Argentina
and Australia of secondary Import
ance as grazing countries. Add the
reindeer as another possibility, and
the whole area of northern Canada
and Alaska looms large with promise.
The two countries may become of in
calculable value on those lines alone.
Then, once these products afford
cheap food, exports of such products
will follow, and the local development
of minerals and other resources will
be made possible on low scale of
costs—thus reclaiming the whole
Northland to occupation as homes
meaning the reclamation of the North
to civilization. The project is one
with which to conjure. It seems sub
stantial enough for earnest experi
ments. If successful It will double
or treble the present productive area
of Canada and of Alaska and add a
new empire to the world. Let the
matter be investigated seriously.

Men Under New
Law Should Not
Leave Territory
On account of the unrest due to
lack of information concerning the
new man power bill, providing for
the registration for military purposes
of nil persons between the ages of
eighteen and forty-five years. Captain
J. J. Finnegan, in charge of the en
forcement of draft laws, made the
following statement:
"None of those between the ages of
eighteen and forty-five who have not
yet been registered will he permitted
to enlist until they are registered and
classified, and many of them may lie
greatly embarrassed if they go to the
States before that time because they \
are liable to be held and inducted
into the service on account of not
having occupations.
"The registration will not lie com
pleted in Alaska until December, and
the classification will not lie complet
ed until in February nr after that :
date.
"None of those who register under ]
the new law will he called to the
service until April or later.
Liberal Deferred Classifications
“The classifications are much more
liberal in the case of people between
the ages of eighteen and twenty and
thirty-two and forty-five than they are
between twenty-one and thirty-one.
All those engaged in any of the es
sential industries, like mining, fishing,
lumbering, and producing anything re
garded as an essential will receive
deferred classification, and may never
be called to the colors.”
People between the ages of eighteen
and forty-five can best serve them
selves and their country by remaining 1
in Alaska at tills time.
