STRATEGIC VALUE OF ALASKA COAST
China within the last few years has succeeded in dis
placing the Balkans from the world stage as the interna
tional powder magazine. Our journals record most every
day some outrage or other by some of the warring fac
tions of that strife-i’idden land upon a citizen of some
country. The last outrage reported from Peking seems
more serious involving the tiring on ships of the Japan
ese navy and wounding officers and members of the crew.
An international outbreak in the near Orient and the
vital interests of the United States in the Orient commer
cial as well as the territorial makes one wonder if our na
tional administration is alive to the real situation and
why not more steps are taken for the protection of the
coast of Alaska and the control of the North Pacific ocean
to the extent of protecting American shipping under all
circumstances, at least.
The thousands of miles of coast line of Alaska, reach
ing from British Columbia to Japan are without a single
coast defense, gun, or place prepared to put one, as far as
»we know. The coast of Alaska to us seems to offer ideal
locations for completing our military lines on the Paci
fic and strengthen our established bases. A military and
naval base on Resurrection Bay and at Dutch Harbor
would protect Alaska—one glance at a map of the Pa
cific would convince the most unmilitary mind—how es
sential, perhaps vital, such bases are to our trans-Paci
fic commerce.
TAKE A MAP AND SEE FOR YOURSELF. Pana
ma, San Diego, Manila Bay, Guam, Pearl Harbor. With
out the above suggestion one can plainly realize the im
portance of the Alaska coast and its strategic value.
MEDITATE BEFORE YOU MAIL IT
Consider these things—before you mail your orders
out of town. The dollar you spend in Seward—stays
here and works. Whether it goes into civic improve
ments, via taxes, better schools, churches, streets—or
whether it simply goes into more merchandise for your
needs—it circulates at HOME.
Remember your neighbor will take better care of you
than a stranger" It is to his interest to do so. His future
depends on his winning and holding your confidence and
friendship—and he’s right here to make good any mis
takes.
Spending your money in Seward is putting a mortg
age on it to come back to you—spending it away from
home is bidding it goodbye.
Consider these things and you won’t mail an order
Outside.
Some one must have been humanizing the United
States Shipping Board. That body has gravely ruled that
babies born aboard its vessels may be earned to the end
of the voyage without payment of fare.

OF TWO TYPES
OF CAGE GAME
Real Pleasure To Compete
with Soldier Team At
Basketball
VISITORS MAKE HIT
Seward Coach and Player
Manager Describes the
Difference.
(By Theodore McEwen)
Seward basketball fans had the op
portunity of receiving two widely dif
ferent types of basketball in the se
ries of games just concluded. The
Soldiers have the short passing game
developed to a high degree of effi
ciency and invariably work the ball
close in before shooting. The Seward
team on the other hand, plays the open
style of game, using long passes and
long shots at the basket when the op
posing team plays a strong defensive
game and resorting to the short pass
only when the opposing guards are
drawn out as was the case in the last
quarter of Saturday’s game. The short
passing game while spectacular to
watch, is not modern basketball and
was discarded several years ago with
the advent of the five-man defense and
the man-to-man style of play. I do
not say this to detract from the fine
teamwork of the Soldiers, but it is a
fact that much of their passing was
wasted in the wrong end of the hall
The Soldiers play a fast, clean game
which was appreciated by spectators
and by the members of our team. It
is a real pleasure to compete with a j
team which can win or lose in the !
same spirit of good sportsmanship.
The Soldiers made a big hit here
and a meeting between the Seward
Athletic club and the Anchorage Sol
diers will undoubtedly become an an-1
nual event.
