SEW VRD ALASKA. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 29. 1913.
England today, perhaps, presents a more divided front to the enemy
than any of her friends. This may be due to two causes. It may be due to
too much freedom in home government or to too much freedom from threats
from outside. Great Britain is up against the hardest problem of its life
today. If Russia had rolled into Berlin that time a million or two of our
Anglo-Saxon brothers would have marched in shortly afterwards in all the
pride ami panoply of war by the back door anti no one could ever be a bit the
wiser as to whether those million or two warriors knew one end of a rifle
from another. Britain is grand in victory, now we are watching her when
she has a really hard task ami when giving money and letting others do the
big lighting are not quite enough.
And how is she acting under the press?
It was evidently impossible from the beginning for her two great parties
to exile partisanship for the country’s good. One titled upstart who owns
a powerful string of newspapers has more to say today in the government
of Great Britain than, possibly, Premier Asquith himself. The ultra con
servatives are just seeking t ie downfall of Asquith because Asquith is the
arch-leader of Liberalism. To reach their end they are even pretending to
call for Lloyd George as the successor of Asquith and to take the place
George must be a traitor to his greatest friend. There isn’t a Conservative
in England who does not hate George like the poetically proverbial pizened
pup. But George could be made useful to them arid that is the main desire
in the hearts of those schemers who never seem to mind a little matter like
dividing the country in the face of the most powerful enemy Britain ever
met.
CHICAGO TO HAVE
BIGGEST POLICE FORCE
CHICAGO. Dec. 29.—A citizen
police force 20.0(H) strong, in addition
to the regular force, is being formed
here today. When complete it will
give Chicago the largest police force
in the world. According to the plans,
suggested by seven millionaires, mem
bers of the Industrial Club of Chicago,
every block in the city will have a
citizen policeman serving without
pay.. He will work with the police
and health authorities in the district.
It is hoped that he will prod into ac
tion the careless cops on the regular
force. The first duty of the citizen
policeman will be to gain the iriend
ship of the patrolman on the beat.
His chief work will be observation.
He will not have the power to make
an arrest, but is expected to report
unsanitary conditions and law viola
tions. Residents in his block will be
expected to cooperate with him.
The citizen police force will make
Chicago’s police department the most
efficient on the world,” said lx>uis
Damon, secretary of the movement,
known as Chicago Civic Cooperators.
"Already the regular police are com
mencing to show interest in the pro
gram. They have gotten 6,000 copies
of the city ordinances and are show
ing more discretion in their official
acts.”
Each citizen policeman is provided
with a card of authority which bears
the signature of the mayor, chief of
police and the head of the health de
partment.

MILLION AVAILABLE
FOB MILITARY
PURPOSES IN U. S.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.—'There
are a million men in the United States
who could respond to the colors in
some form of military usefulness, if
the call came.
These are national guardsmen and
ex-national guardsmen still of mili
tary age; ex-regular army men now
in civil life; the majority of the
Spanish War Veterans and men who
have received training under authori
zed army officers in universities.
There also are young men drilled
under military men in high and
private schools, and ex-U. S. marines
who have had land training.
Officers of the U. S. Army admit
this would be a highly convenient
army nucleus in time of emergency,
but the government doesn’t know
where any of these men are except
the national guardsmen.
Roughly estimated there are 500,- j
000 national guardsmen and ox-na- j
tional guardsmen; over 175,000 army
and navy ‘alumni;’ between 180,000
and 200,000 Spanish War Veterans
and 75,000 college cadets.
War department figures show there
are now 8,705 officers and 120,098 en- i
listed men in the national guard. In
the Spanish war, 228,285 volunteer
officers and enlisted men served. In
the college last year, there were 82,-,
000 who had drill, and in the bust 10
years 89,000 men have been graduat- j
ed who had been trained two years, j
Figures for ten years behind that j
easily make up the estimated total of j
75,000, army officers say.
As to the regular army alumni, an
average of 13,000 fails to re-enlist
each year. The total for 1014 was
14,340. Even with the loss through
deaths since discharge; incapacita
tions, removal to other countries and,
old age, the figure for 20 years should
be 175,000 to 200,000 men.
Recent plans of enlistment in the j
war department call for three years
with the colors and four in reserve.;
Before that, once a man’s term of
enlistment was up, the government
gave no more attention to him.

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.—The Marquis
of Queensbury championship is to re
turn to the scene of its birth, New
Orleans, if Jess Willard defends his
championship in the Crescent City

the contract with Moran. It will be
the first time since Corbett knocked
out Sullivan that New Orleans has
seen a heavyweight title bout. The
