THE NEW CONQUEROR
A strangely equipped United States battleship dock

nance is stored in the staterooms and here and tnere m

most powerful of any warship afloat. Her long-range

kind; the blight which fills prisons; enslaves individuals.
This most powerful of Uncle Sam s naval ileet is the
Bureau of Education motorship Boxer, Capt. S i. -*•
Whitlam, commander. She is the product of the new age
of warfare against the primitive peoples of the nation.
She is born of the new era, post-dating the period when
regiments of soldiers marched against the .frontier to
subdue the primitive natives which peopled it. In those
earlier days is cost approximately $1,000,000 to kill one
native. It costs the United States less than $150,000 per
year to salvage less than 4,000 native children and shape
them for future citizenship. That is the average annual
enrollment in the native schools of Alaska, and it is in de
rense of these children of nature that the peculiarly arm
ed warship, is plying Alaska waters. _
What changes have come ! The roar of the musketry
is smothered beneath the chime of the bell calling the
new army into action wherein the white and the brown
man are marching shoulder to shoulder against the com
mon enemy.
GIVE HIM A NEW VESSEL
Captain S. T. Whitlam of the B. of E. M. S. Boxer,
has long been recognized as perhaps the foremost ice
pack skipper in the Alaska Arctic. His recent teat of
carrying supplies to St. Lawrence Island, which island
was completely surrounded by pack-ice for 10 days—the
second appearance of the pack this winter and a full
month in advance of the regular time—will hardly be
recognized as much of a feat unless one give it due
thought. The Eskimo upon the island never dreamed he
would attempt getting through with supplies; but he did!
This is the same skipper who has a trunk full of medals
presented to him by a grateful government for many
acts of heroism in the Arctic. Modest! They never made
'em any more modest than Captain Whitlam.
For years the Gateway has been endeavoring to
arouse the department to the necessity of giving Captain
Whitlam a modern ship. The life of such a man is worth
more than all the medals in the world. Surely, for such
humane work as the Bureau of Education is carrying on
along the coast of Alaska, the government can afford to
give Captain Whitlam a vessel worthy of his danger
ous task.
No matter how large or
how small your order from
Alaska ... you can be sure of
good materials, careful grad
ing and direct shipment on
the first boat.
Write us - or, if you’re in a
hurry - wire. Either way, just
send us your specifications
we do the rest.

PRESIDENT’S PLAN FOR EX
EMPTION FOOD FROM SEIZ
URE IN WAR ENDORSED
WASHINGTON, Nov., 19, (/P)—
The White House announced it
had received a flood of telegrams
commending the President with re
spect to his Armistice Day speech.
The senate especially approved the
tenor of the address, altho there
was some private skepticism re
garding the practicability of the
President’s plan for exemption of
fcod shipments from seizure in
time of war.
Dispatches from Europe were on
the whole commendatory, altho
there was also some tendency to
question the wisdom of the para
graph on food shipments. Geneva
regarded the speech as a long step
forward, but the British press was
especially sharp in its treatment j
of the food novelty. Germany was j
one of the few nations to whole- ,
lieartedly endorse the President’s!
plan.
