EDITORIAL
Alaskan Author Neutrality Bill
The man who wrote the neu
trality bill and guided it so suc
cessfully through the Senate is
one of our fellow northerners, a
Klondike pioneer.
He was a young attorney from
Vicksburg, Miss., who went gold
hunting on the Yukon, was in
Nome in its most stirring days,
used his gun to help blot out
Soapy Smith’s gang and became
A leading character in Rex
Beach’s "The Spoilers."
He met his wife when a dog
driver crosed his path with the
Miss in the sled and the dogs
tangled. The young man raised a
row, the girl looked up from her
tabes. He was Key Pittman and
she is still one of the prettiest
wives in Washington.—Empire.

GOOD-NATURED WARFARE
—SOMETHING NEW
Berlin sends out a little story
which throws a pleasant light on
Berlin. It seems that French sol
diers in the Maginot Line have
been listening to concert music
broadcasts from the German cap-:
ifcal for Reich troops on the west
ern front.
French officers telephoned to
Berlin via Switzerland that they
should like to hear ‘‘Parlez-moi
d’amour,” “Speak to me of love,”
and Berlin was only too glad to
oblige. Aand yet people will go
on making up stories about Ger
man planes over Polish towns,
German firing squads and Polish
civilians, and other slanders.
Actually the war so far on the
German side has been an elabor
ate exercise in chivalry mixed
with humor—German humor.
German soldier bury French cas
ualtics with military honors to
the strains of the Marseillise. Ger
man U-boats distribute cigarettes
and drinks to the crews of tor
pedoed ships. German leaders, in
eluding Hitler cannot say too
much for French valor and good
sense. German radio stations
play music for French soldiers.
It is knighthood in flower
again. It is Saladin sending in
snow from the mountain tops for
his enemy Richard the Lion
Hearted tossing on a bed of fev
er. It is Sir Philip Sidney. It is
the French saying to the English
at Fontenoy, “Gentlemen, will
you be good enough to shoot
first.” If only one could forget
the bombed Polish cities how de
lightful it would be to think of
Berlin radio playing “Parlez-moi
d’amour” for the French soldiers
on the Maginot Line. How lucky
the French officers did not ask
for a Polish mazurka! — New
York Times.

instrument which reproduces hu

son is at ithe keyboard—at the

Bill Douglas, traveling repre
sentative of a food manufactur
ing firm noted for its 57 varieties
after watching the young lady,
operate the device to produce i
such words as “plenipotentiary, i
antidisestablishmentarianismical j
ly, Lwow and Dies Un-American
Activities Investigation Commit
tee" offered up the name of an i
Alaskan town for mechanical pro
nunciation.
The girl’s fingers flickered over[
the keyboard, and the following !
sololoquy in syllables resulted: .
“Kotch— cops— corpse— Aw,
nuts let it go!”
The town Douglas had named
was Kotzebue.
