NOME. ALASKA MARCH 2. 1915.
THE LINES CLEARLY DRAWN.
The attempt of the government to
adjust the situation us regards ship
ping in the English marine war zone
seems to have been barren of beneficial
results, in a direct sense, hut at least
it has resulted in forever settling the
doubts concerning England's attitude
toward the contraband question The
Anglo-French notification received by
the government yesterday, stating that
in the future those nations will exercise
the right of search of all vessels hound
for the ports of the enemy or suspected
of carrying contraband destined for
trans-shipment through neutral ports,
places the matter up a definite footing
at last and thereby obviates many pos
sibilities nf fut ur friction between the
American government and the allies
concerning contrahand.
The replies previously received from
Britain have practically settled the
question of yyliat is considered contra
band so that American shippers yvill
hoyv he able to folloyv a definite policy
■ oncoming shipments to all European
ports The absence of contraband in
a ships cargo yvill not, of course, re
lieve the vessel of the probability of
detention and examination but the new
ruling will at least insure both the ship
tier and the purchaser of the uncer
tainties which have been the predomi
nating feature of commercial inter
course with many European ports up
to the present time. The American
shipper now knows exactly where he Is
at and, while the new ruling yvill great
ly lessen the volume of trade with
Western Europe and may, in that sense
be considered a severe blow to our al
ready crippled industries, it is evident
that the situation will lie on the yvhole
far more satisfactory. There is little
doubt that the stand assumed by lie
allies yvill he the basis for a decided
protest on the part of the American
government but there is little reason to
believe that such protests yvill obtain
other satisfaction than diplomatic ans
wers and the shipping industries yvill
have to content themselves yvith yyliat
trade possibilities they may he able to
handle The lines are drawn not
against mieriea alone as all nations
are Included and this yvill in all pro
bability be the essence of Britain's
reply to all protests from any source.
The warring nations arc practically the
masters of the situation and their acts
are hardly subject to the supervision of
outsiders so that beyond futile protest
the world can do nothing but accept
(he mandate.

KILL INTEREST IN WAR.
I’ltlrick < ‘Donnell of New York who:
has boon in Seattle on usiness sa . s j
that New York newspapers have kahtij
the public's interest in the Europe a i
war by a surfeit of information, some
authentic and some not. and now the
people of that city, in surprising num
bers. ate going about their affairs with
entnparat ivelv little thought of the hos
tilities abroad. It is the opinion of Mr
‘‘‘Donnell that New York people are so
tired of war news that they are calling
upon the newspapers hv Use thousands
to cease giving so much of their space
lo (lie European struggle As a result,
he declared, many of the big dallies,
quick to catch the temper of their
readers, are devoting less and less at
tention to a display of such Information
and the number of extras Issued by the
afternoon publications has noticeably
decreased. Tn an Interview Mr O’Don
nell says:
"Xew York folk are about the first
In the world to become blase, and now
they have become blase over the war
; They are sick to death of It. Once It
| was the chief topic of conversation
■ nd the newspapers Issued extras
every few- minutes But all that Is
; ..ver now The people don’t talk war
ind they don’t want to read about It.
"Some of the Gotham papers are l>e
c inning to find out that and are con
j.lousing their war news as much as
j possible. Some of the evening papers
several months ago had the habit of
getting out extra editions so fast there
was a new one at every turn. But al
wav'* and forever there were conflicting
reports, and readers soon lost eonfl
ilence and then Interest.
I believe this same feeling prevails
very where in the I’nited States. 1
; think everyone realizes the blame in the
mutter does not lie with the news
(papers Most of them have to take
what they can get and go to all kinds
>f expense and pains to give the public
.the very best reports obtainable. But
vv ith the war censorship as strict as it
s abroad, the news they get is of so
vague, technical and indefinite a char
... ter as to make the public tired of it

THE LUCK OF
THE KARLUK
-Ksther Birdsall Darling.
In honor of the eat of the Karluk,
the ill-fated ship of Kxplorer Stefan
sson, Mrs. Ksther Birdsall Darling, the
well-known Nome poet and owner of
famous dog teams, wrote the following
poem The original manuscript was
sent to Mrs Walter Hall, of Fairbanks,
while copies were sent to Outside
papers
When we tell of tiie heroes who braved
the North.
Survivors of wreck and gale —
Of Bartlett, whose dash meant life or
death
Should tiie mission succeed or fail:
(if those who waited, and those who
went,
I'll rise and take off my hat;
But I’ll add three cheers and a tiger too
For the man who saved the cat
On tiie ship from Kscjuimalt, a parting
gift.
She had sailed with tiie Karluk crew;
And little she cared though a leaden
sky
Was replacing the Southern hlue;
And never she felt the cold blast's sting,
For, tended by kindly hands,
She was sheltered and safe with the
sailor lads
As they headed for unknown lands.
Wrapt, silent and ghostly, in chill gray
mists
At the mercy of the winds that blow,
They drifted far and they drifted wide
in the clutch of the Arctic floe;
Aral there, where the towering walls
and crags
Gave threat of impending doom.
The "Karluk" was lost in the grinding
ice
And sank to an unmarked tomb.
.Through tiie sleepless hours of wary
toil,
Through the moments when all
seemed lost;
When each man gave the best that
was his.
And no man reckoned the cost;
Through the deafening crash of the
raging storm,
With I lie side of their ship crushed
tint.
They rescued tiie food and the sleds
and dogs,
And lladley remembered the cat.
Then they lied her fast upon Hadley's
sled
In a hag made of reindeer fur;
And the dreary trail to tho distant
shore
Was cheered by her happy purr.
And tiie warmest corner of flimsy tent
And a share of the scanty store
Were always hers, though the men.
God knows,
Were craving ind needing more
* • *
Now you've heard that wherever n
black oat rests
There's l.uok that the cat will bring; j
And THIS black cat. there Is never a!
doubt,
thought the "Hear and the "Klngi
and Winge."
‘And so. when you’re la oding the daunt- ,
less men
i With a will we can all do that),
|Glve a word of praise for the dumb J
beast's friend—
For H olley, who saved the cat.
