NOME. ALASKA. JULY 16. 1915.
As indicated in the dispatches re
ferring to the communication of the
President to Secretary Lansing rela
tive to the third note to he presently
nddres.sed to the German government,
there is a strong probability that the
message will he in the nature of an
ultimatum, in the sense that it will he
final, although the ,fact may not ap
pear on the face of the document when
presented to the Berlin foreign office.
In view of the circumstances attend
ing the present situation it could not
wen .w omerwlae. it is hardly com
patible with the dignity of a great
and powerful government to continue
to overlook or to pass over lightly a j
seemingly deliberate attempt on the
part of a foreign power to ignore the
primary Issues presented in a com
munication addressed to that power
concerning vital affairs, and it is hard
ly to be expected that the administra
tion will view the matter in any other
light. While there is an evident dis
inclination on the part of the German
government to offer a deliberate af
front as the United States, the constant
evasion of the main points at issue, as
presented in the two previous com
munications addressed to Berlin, is in
reality nothing less saving that it can j
he reasonably attributed to the blun
dering tendencies of German diplo- '
macy long noted In the diplomatic,
dealings of that nation. Allowing the !
German government all reasonable'
latitude in respect to this apparent |
failing, it is evident that, if the United :
States is desirous of lifting the mat- j
ter above the ruck of diplomatic jug
fflery, Germany must be forced to face j
the issue squarely; a result that can'
l,f- accomplished only by assuming a j
firm stand. It is plainly to be seen !
that the constant reiteration of prin-'
cl pies Is productive of no results as
Germany either does not appreciate:
the viewpoint of the government or'
else is willfully disregarding the re- I
presentations contained in the Amerl- i
can notes. In either event it is clear j
that if the dignity of the nation Is to!
he preserved the present situation do- •
mands that diplomatic sophistries be
laid aside and more active measures
instituted. In permitting n contlnua-1

lion of tho present hair splitting, word
juggling policy of Germany toward a
situation ns vital to American interests
»s is at present existent, the govern- 1
ment can expect no other result than j
that the 1'nited States will achieve an
unenviable reputation as a diplomatic
trifler whose vaporous utterances may
bo Ignored or disregarded with Im
punity.
In an authoritative article on tho
question of the possible indemnities to
be exacted at the conclusion of the
great European conflict, the New Re
public assumes that the possibillt\ of
exacting a sum equivalent to the ter
rific costs entailed in the struggle Is
utterly impossible and the nations
must be content to look to their im
material gains for a recompense for
the losses they have been forced to
sustain. The futility of attempting to
collect an indemnity approximating
the loss of even the most fortunate of
the belligerents is pointed out as being
well night impossible owing to the fact
that the ultimate amount that may be
collected except by a long continued
military occupancy i* represented
largely l;y the sum that can lie raised
at once through taxation or through
domestic loans. The collection of such
indemnities as are even remotely sug
gestive of the huge sums conceived by
the popular mind to he the possible,
reward of the victor at the conclusion j
of the contest, can he consumatcd in
only one way—in military occupation
extending over a considerable number
of years and in the face of an ever pre
sent possibility of having to ultimate
ly fight the war over again at the first
sign of a threatened repudiation. To
1 collect the sum of ten billions from
P Germany and Austria, for instance, it
is pointed out that a military orcu
’ pancy of those countries covering a
period of ten years at least would he
required, during which time the do
minating power would have to practi
cally assume complete control of all
lines of trade and industry, in fact take
over the very government and all ave
nues of production and even then it is
a matter for conjecture if the debt
could be discharge! owing to it being
doubtful if under a military occupa
tion industry and trade would s itfi
ieentlv revive to yield any considerable
revenue. "Moderate indemnities,” tho
artiele asserts. "—four or five billions
if Germany wins, two or three billions
if the allies win—are possible." This
then appears to be the ultimate of pos
sibilities unless the victorious nations
sler.e upon the future resources of the
conquered. Even such huge sums as
four or five billions will he only a small
portion of the enormous losses that
will be sustained b\ each of the war
ring nations, however, and when it is
remembered that conservative esti
mates place the aggregate loss for the
first year at something like thirty bil
lion, it will be plainly seen that even
under the most favorable conditions
there is little or no hope that the vic
tor can receive more than a partial
recompense for his losses through the
largest indemnity possible to collect.
EUROPEAN
MARKETS
FOR FISH
Department of Commerce,
Washington, IV C.
In spite of the fact that there arc
great sections of the United States
where fish are used sparingly, the out
put of American fisheries is as valuable
as that of any country in the world.
The total production in 1908, the latest
I year for which complete statistics are
j available, was somewhat in excess of
il.893.000.000 pounds. If to this are ad
I ded a considerable excess of imports
over exports and a reasonable increase
in the catch since 190S. it seems likely

CHAS. CAVEY, Prop,
that the per capita consumption of fish
in the United States now exceeds 20
pounds a year.
This is not iiuite half the per capitu
consumption in Great Britain, but it
Is much larger limn that of most coun
tries and indicates a very large con
sumption in the districts where fish is
looked upon as an essential part of the
diet; so large, in fact, that in seasons
of unusually heavy catches it is im
possible to increase the consumption
sufficiently to use up the surplus fish.
At such, times greater efforts are made
to sell to the inland districts and, to
some extent, abroad. With a view to
assisting the exporters of American
fish and fisli products in their efforts
to ilnd an otulet abroad the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, of
the Department of Commerce, hag pub
lished a report entitled' "European
Markets for Kish.”
According tfi this report our exports
abroad heretofore have consisted prin
cipally of canned salmon—an Ameri
can product that is favorably known
throughout the entire world. The total
exports of all kinds average about
$11,000,000 a year, and of this total,
canned salmon is valued at $7,000,000,
fresh salmon at something over $1,600,
000, dried, smoked, cured and pickled
fish at $1,000,000, and shellfish at very
nearly $1,000,000. The war has, of
course, made some differences in the
exports. The most serious dislocation
of tile trade occurred immediately after
| tlie beginning of host! Ities, but later a
good recovery was made and the value
of exports since has been almost nor
mal, canned salmon gaining and shell
fish falling off.
"European Markets for Kish” con
tains detailed import statistics for
nearly, every country in Europe and
thus affords a means of determining
the importance of each market and the
kind of fish that finds the most favor.
These statistics have been compiled
from the original sources by the Bur
eau and are the most valuable feature
of the report. There are also complete
statistics for the United States, includ
ing a very detailed table of American
exports. The report is published as
