BOMBERS BAFFLE SECRET
SERVICE
Perhaps it has occurred to not a few
that our estimable United States
. secret service has not been making
much progress in unrevaling the bomb
plot. It is not living up to the record
made for it by the fertile-minded story
tellers whose chronicles appear in al
most every monthly and weekly maga
zine. We had begun to have an al
most lively admiration for the serVice,
for had we not been assured that the
wonder-working German espionage
system absolutely collapsed in the
hands of our secret agents?
One of the secrets of the service
may as well be told offhand. The
German espionage system in this coun
try was a farce. It existed only in
esmbryo when the European war
broke out. It was a makeshift affair
at best, even after we entered the
war. It was so easily overthrown
that it became the familiar jest of our
current humorists. The time arrived
when the typical German spy was pic
tured by our wits as carrying a diary
about with him and expressing him
self as mystified, when arrested, that
all his plottings should be as an open
book to our official sleuths.
The secret service, confronted by a
system which shows genuine cunning,
is baffled. It is crying loudly for help.
It has asked the public to furnish it
with tips. It points out that during
the war many traitors and spies were
trapped with the aid of clews supplied
by wholesale through private chan
nels.
It is not our intention to deride the
secret service. It has among its per
sonnel many brilliant minds. It has ac
cimplished marvels now and then. The
fact that it appeals to the public for
help is a sign, not of stupidity, but of
perspicacity. By all means the public
should render whatever assistance it
can. No one who has the slightest sus
picion that he has a clew should con
ceal it from the authorities. It is
more than probable that the mystery
will be solved and solved with a dash
by one of these bits of information.
It has been urged that the govern
ment’s secret service activities be
brought under the control of a single
bureau. Whether that be the best
method or not it must be manifest that
reorganization of some kind is essen
tial. If the nation is face to face with
an organization of Nihilists which pro
poses to operate on the scale of its
Russian counterpart in the days of the
czars, the time has come when all the
police investigating agencies of the
nation, the states and the cities should
be pooled in some effective arrange
ment.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
Wrangell wants Dry Strait dredged
and Petersburg wants Wrangell Nar
rows deepened, and there seems to be
a dipositlon to make the proposals
matters of community rivalry. Why
not both? It would serve commerce
to have both waterways improved, and
then both towns and the other sections
of Alaska could be happy.—Juneau
Empire.
The appeal of the farmers and
homesteaders In the interior of Alaska
for support in their effort to have the
80-rod strip regulation of the land of
fice abolished should be met with a
full and free response by the territory.
These men have worked hard in their
attempt heretofore to get this obnox
ious clause of the homestead laws
changed and just when it seemed as
though success would crown their ef
forts, the death of Mr. Sulzer, who had
been actively in charge of the matter,
upset all their plans and leaves them
where they first started.—Fairbanks
Citizen.
GEN. G ENER WILL
RESIGN CHIEF STAFF
BERLIN, June 26 (by Associated
Press).—It is announced that General

Tough Boots for I
Tough Jobs I
- Whether you’re felling timber, pros- B
pecting, or fishing, there’s a Goodrich 3
Boot that will carry you farther and I
last you longer than any other you fi
can buy in Alaska. i 1
It’s not made like other boots—ifV I
different, made IN ONE SINGLE 3
PIECE with a sole tough as a tire 3
tread that you’ll never need to half sole. I
I In this ad we show only one style of
Goodrich Footwear—the Brown
Driver. Possibly you could use the
knee-high White Short, the 9-inch
Lehigh or the White Hip to better
advantage. You’ll find Goodrich
“Hi-Press” prices no higher than for
ordinary boots—and Goodrich will
last you twice as long.
