NOME, ALASKA, MARCH 1, 1917. |
The price of horse meat in Beilin
for the best cuts, liver and sausage,
hits been fixed by hie authorities ut
o9 cents a pound. The Germans are
at least frank in not calling horse
meat beef as is often done, in Purls,
during the seige, hare brought nine
dollars each and was sure to be a
cat. Another euphemistic name for a
cat Was “roof rabbit." In our own
country today they are trying to get
us to eat dog-ash by calling it gray
fish.
After reading some uplift papers |
who obtain countless physicians to I
give testimony to the evil effects ul
drinking, eating and sleeping, it is
refreshing to happen upon an ai tide
by a French doctor who declares after
extended resarch tha ttobutco is
harmful only under certain conditions ■
and that it is a valuable tonic and 1
germicide. Everything is bad if mis
used and contrawise everything is |
good if properly used. But as for
tobacco we are frank to confess that
we are willing to shed the last drop
of our blood before the nabie up
lifters shall deprive us of its fragrant
benediction.
At Christmas lime there was a
lucky chap in the states who owned
seventy two million eggs, lie doubt
less figured on the scarcity that pre
vails before the hens get busy in the
spring nnd provided himself against
winter's want. Such a man as he
in Germany, England, Frnace or Italy
would never know want again in this
life for he would have board and
lodging provided in a heavy barred
building so long as he continued to
breathe. In this coutnry we do things
differently—we allow speculation In
food and we all help to pay the profits.
Oh, well.
People who have boarde da boat in
the roadstead and fretted because the
start for Seattle was not made for a
few hours have been heard to com
plain afterward of the delay and to
hop.: that they would never have to
wait so long again. They should
consider the case of Count Bcrnstorff
who was held at Halifax for twelve
days while they went through his ship
and his baggage with a fine tooth
comb. He had a lovely time there
at night submitting to search, and
each day was forced to put to sea so
that he could not gaze on the sights
of the city. There were dou'.btless
some few other things in and about
the harbor which were deemed im
proper for prying German eyes too

closely to examine. Regardless of the
reasons prompting the Britsih to keep
the former German ambassador to the
L'nited States so long at Halifax he
surely must have had a dreary time
waiting the pleasure of the authori
ties before his ship could sail. But
that is the way with war. The Am
ei lean consuls who are detained in
Germany know what it is to wait but
they are not neatly so badly off as
those who wait in trenches half filled
with water either for death or the
end of the war.
The German contention .as voiced
by von Bethmann-Hollweg. that the
L'nited States is incons.stent when it
sells munitions to the entente and not
to the Mexican bandits is unworthy of
Geimun intelligence. The German
chancellor knows very well that the
L'nited States is bound by treaty to
sell ammunition and guns to belliger
ent nations, and not only so but Ger
many was the most ardent supporter
of that clause in the Geneva conven
ts n. The points of view of the two
nations at the time were, however,
very different. Germany urged tht
adopi.on of that clause so that they
could sell muniti ns at a profit to
warring nations. The L'nited States
urged its adoption and subscribed to
.t on the ground ihut a weak nation,
r a nation poor!.. equipped to pros
tcute war, should h,.ve an opportunity
to supply any deficient-, s in war ma
terial that might have been due to
devotion to pe . ■ i <‘.hei than prvp.ii -
tion for war.
The weak point ir. Hollwegs argu
ment is that the entente allies are
recognized belligerents and Villa's
men are bandils und nothing else.
The L'nited States would be guilty of
a breach of faith if it failed to sell
guns and ammunition to England or
Germany on d-mand and presenta
tion of the coin to pay for the pur
chases. But on the other hand this
country would be guilty of a crime
should it sell guns to Villa's murder
ers. It is true that it is sometimes
hard to determine when so-called
murderers, bandits nd revolutionists
cease to become such and are patriots
and founders of a new nation. The
Cuban revolutionists in Weyler's time
were in Spanish eyes nothing cIbo
than bandits and outlaws but they
succeeded in obtaining our aid,
through Spanish blundering, and es
tablished a new republic. But there
can hardly be such possibilities in
Villa and his men.
i’robably r.o one Knows the fallacy
of the German argument better than
Hcllweg himself who presented the
comparison. He was compelled by
the exigencies of the situation to put
his own country in the most favorable
light, and our own as much in the
shadow as ho could. He made a
speecch which in a way was a broad
side return to Mr. Wilson's speeches
