THE UNITED STATES AND GERMANY. j J
When Queen Isabel grubstaked Christopher Columbus for c
the greatest prospecting trip ever undertaken by man, consul
ering conditions as they then existed, she started some
thing that has gone on ever since and until it has become the
biggest proposition on earth—the United States of America
with a population of one hundred millions of inhabitants.
And as the United States of America has grown in popu
lation and wealth, .just so has it grown in patriotism, loyalty
and in the spirit that prompts.it to be true to itself. It has
been this patriotism and loyalty to herself that has kept her
free to the present time from participating in the scrambled hell
which has been seething in Europe for the past thirty months.
But it now looks as though, in spite of her diplomacy, regard
less of the fact that she has turned the other cheek, she is on
the verge of war with one of the strongest of the • European
powers—war which she has used every effort to avert.
All true Americans will deplore present conditions, but no
true American will endeavor to sidestep them. If war is thrust
upon us, war it will be to the end that American chivalry and
honor may he vindicated. American history will repeat itself
and .just as Americans have ever and always given good ac
count of themselves in previous wars, just so will an excellent
accounting he given in the impending crisis. Never has the
American spirit been conquered, never has Old Glory been low
ered by an enemy. j
But while Americans are loyal and patriotic, they are gen
erous, just and fair, and it is fo their sense of generosity and
justice that we now appeal in behalf of that element of our
citizenship which owes its origin to the country now practically
forcing us into war. Germans have nothing for which to be
ashamed' in the matter of nationality, but those of them who
came here of their own volition and to better their condition
should realize that, in the event of war between the country of
their nativity and that of their adoption, it is up to them to
either cast their lot with the latter or lose no time in returning
to the former. No anti-American spirit or demonstration will
be tolerated in America, but until there is conclusive evidence
that such spirit exists, no resident of German birth or , origin
should be in any manner interfered with or embarrassed.- We
believe the great majority of Germans in this country are here
to make their homes, and for the reason that they prefer it to
the Fatherland. German names and German accent should
mean nothing so long as German hearts are in the right place.

RIGHT ABOUT-FACE.
“We beHeve that the time has come when the public
schools can, and should, enter deliberately and purposefully
upon a definite plan for the preparation of our youth, physical
ly for the exigencies of lift' and for all the demands of citizen
ship. We need to spend more money and more time upon a
physical training intended to develop the body so that both
boys and girls may be prepared equally for the pursuits of
peace or the vicissitudes of war.”
This is the declaration of a committee of educators which
has been formed to press for adoption a model state bill, drafted
by Dudley A. Sargent of Harvard, providing for the introduc
tion of physical training, without military features, in the-pub
lie schools. The committee has adopted for its slogan-President
Wilson’s recent statement that “physical training is- needed,
but can be had without compulsory military training.”
While the question of the wisdom of military training for
the youth is»one which admits of considerable argument on both
sides, the need of physical training for boys and girls, particu
larly in the city, is a vital one. ! Modern life has built great cit
ies, shut off the incentive for voluntary exercise, and increased
the hours which must be spent'indoors in the educational pre- '
paration for a livelihood and later in utilizing, this training.
The need', therefore, for systematic body development is more
potent than ever before.
Education of this sort in adolescence not only builds strong
men and women, but leads to the formation of physical habits
which will go a long ways toward the preservation of health in
later life. • •

ASKS HONOR IFOR ALASKA.
t
Tlie appropriateness of naming one. of the new battleships
Alaska, after the country’s last great frontier, is to be urged
upon the navy department by the Alaska bureau of the Seat
tle Chamber of Commerce. This action was decided upon at a
meeting of the members of'the bureau, held recently In the 1
Arctic Club. A resolution declaring that Alaska is a land of
rich and unlimited resources, and that its great cogl fields con
poses, was adopted by the members of the bureau and ordered ,
sent to Secretary of the Navy Daniels.—Seattle ' Post-Intetli- 1

Nenana has a decided advantage over the coast towns of
Alaska. Our townsite is level. When the wind blows at Val
dez, Cordova or Juneau, as it does a large part of iiie time,
there is always the danger of falling off the town into the bay.
