NOME, ALASKA, FEB. 15, 1917.
II would appeal from the dispatcher
t! at Count Bernstorff will have no
cause for complaint of the wav he
has been treated since the break when
ht gets to his own country and ‘ells
how it all happened. s
Gold Is getting cheaper all fhe
time but the contrary Is true of plat
inum which D worth $100 an ounce.
It Is very popular us Jewelry becauao
it looks almsot as good as tin or
ulutniuum and is too costly to be
common.
Not being acquainted with the col
li quial uses of the word "Donnerwot
te-” we are not in a position to say
whether Madame JBern3torff's parrot
was guilty of any indiscretion or not.
Anyway there is no chance of an ex
change of notes now over whatever
the parrot said.
The senior -class of the I’ulitzer
school of Journalism went on Str'kb
recently and refused to go on w'th
t) cir studies because they claimed the
faculty was working them too har-l.
I* they ever succeed in getting rem
ji bs on newspapers they will look to
tve "hard work" they now comnla'n
ot as amongst the more restful pc -
rli.fls of their lives.
Roosevelt Is a name to conjure with
in some sections and in nuny oMier
quarters Is execrated with exceeding
great swear words. Almost any two
men you see chatting together can lie
aroused the one to anger, the other
tc enthusiasm by interjecting .lurae
pertinent remark about the colonel.
He has made men do his will at times
during his strenuous life but it is
quite certain that never before was u
band of black Insurrectos disposed
and their chief led to surrender be
cause of fear that the colonel was
ct tiling after them. ,
If the entente powers have found a
way to circumvent the German sub
marine raid they huve a secret that
is worth from ten to twenty millions
u day. That is to say if it worh3.
The nets stopped the subs for a 'line
but larger and better divers were
Id.til that could crawl under any n't.
I1 Is possible that Britons huve dt
vised a method that will again nullify
the U-boat uttack but the result
a'one can prove It. Reports from Ital
ian waters are to the effect that Mie
et.'.marines are very successful frun
their own point of view.
Yesterday there was a press dls
p.n'ch staling that an American lull
ing vessel had been sunk by a sub
marine and It is common knowledg
that very many wind propelled ships
a't, sailing the brlney that were
thought to have reached the bona
yard. It was not so very long ago
th- * any reference to sailing vessels
was an obituary. The windjammers
were referred to as a type of ere ft
obsolete and hopelessly worthless.
They had hem driven from the s-’as
by the taster moving and more cer
tain steamships and floated us white
•ln&Imms on thoir owoorsf h»n«l» on
tl) they should rot or rust their way
safely Into Davy Jones' locker and he
foigotten.
Then came the war In Europe and
the jump in ocean freight rates.
Things changed. So much so. In fact,
that the worthless windjammer of
three years ago. Is a gold mine for
Us owner. Anything that would flail
lately had i place In tha maritime
world. The sailing ships of all na
tions have therefor* "ootne buck” In
a manner probably never before sur
passed in any Industry. Such vessels
no longer change hands for a few
thousands or tens of thousands of
dollars. They represent hundreds of
tl ousands of dollars and no one Is
particularly desirous of turning loose
hia ship unless at an enormous profit.
American shipyards which fifty yours
ago turned out the fastest sailing
vessels plying the seas are again ic
tive after lying idle for decades.
A curious outgrowth of the war i3
s.Id to be the changed attitude of
g. eat numbers of men at the front
ard especially the west front on the
subject of death. Death In Europe
bus come so close to life thut 'here
has come with It some familiarity in
the contact. Five million soldiers died
in the past two years In addition >o
tl.e toll of misery and destitution tak
en of the civil population. The tran
sition, for the mo3t part, has been
from vigorous health to death in a
second of time.
There has grown up a w!de*he!ief
that these ardent spirits plucked from
tie battlefield are ptill in warm sym
pathy with and, in fact, close to the
I ro'hcrs who remain in the fl"sh
F'itish officers returning from 'he
front speak rationally of the soldiers
"in the other side” and of the mes
sages sent from the dead to the liv
ing. For the most part. It seems, 'he
dead have no clearer idea of the end
ing the war than thr living. Sp'C's
r<leased in the hell of battle are hav
ing some trouble In getting their ber-r
irgs in the new exlstenc.
Fir Conan Doyle, English novelist of
note, and the creator of the Sherlock
Holmes stories, has been vastly Inter
ested In the alleged spirit phonomnna.
‘ Fplrtts claim they are happier than
we,” writes Dovle, "but they huv« no
more force of Intellect than they
hrought over with them, and they
have the same difficulties In solving
questions of communication as the'r
relate ves on i p th On both sides of
the partition the vast majority wou'-d
appear to -« absolutely Indifferent and
gnorant upon the subject. But nlro,
on both sides, there are bands of
pioneers w ho ermprise some of tl o
best :n*»lleii j cf humanity, and whn,
W'e are told, are reinforced upon the
other side by more advanced spirits.
These are beating down the par'lthm
and hear the sound of each othe-'s
T
pi-Kb.”
New familiarity with the spirit life,
■,H,vs 1> Jit. is likelj to Induce now
in* crest and new belief in religion
after the close of the war.
liurope is indeed becoming a vast
giuveyurd. If there is anything in the
new confidence and new belief in the
ability of bodiless bpiiits to cotue
within touch of earthy affairs then,
surely. It should be «r ldencsd in tie
vast company of the dead.
