A MUCH NEEDED WARNING.
owing to the many occurances inci- j
dent to the great war through which
the United States is placed in a state j
of almost constant friction with the
several foreign powers primarily in
volved, the statement of President Wil
son at Philadelphia, that in his opin
ioi, the good of humanity should he j
the first consideration in the conduct
of the government and also the key
note of every action affecting the re
lations of the United tSates with other
powers, assumes a significance which
th» American people as a whole would
do well to heed, if not adopt as the
guiding principal of their attitude to
ward tile peoples of other nations. In
addition to disclosing a most exalted
idea of the proper conduct of govern
ment, the statement indicates that it
is the President’s intention to main
tain a spirit of the broadest tolerance
in tire relations of the United States
with other nations and to allow none
of the numerous prejudices and false
conceptions which are ever tugging at
the mind during periods like the pre
sent. when the conflict of national in
terests arc an ever present source of
prejudice or discord, to influence this
government in its attitude toward the
governments of other lands. In making
the general interest of humanity the
primary consideration in his appeal for
ihe maintainenee of peaceful relations
with other powers, the President, is far
from advocating a species of peace at
any price policy as might he suggested
but, on the contrary, is furnishing his
countrymen an example of a loftiness
of consideration and .a regard for the
welfare of his country and its people
which will preclude all possibility of
allowing the United States to be drag
ged into the yawning vortex of war
save in the event that a most insistent
need for the maintainenee of the na
tional honor or prestige leaves no
other alternative open. And, back of
the President’s insistence that human
ity should be the keynote in the policies
of this government, is a noble appeal
to his countrymen that they be guided
by a spirit of fairness and justice for
the rights of others, not permitting
themse||V0H to be influenced by the
sedulously cultivated prejudices which
may be engendered by the European
or other national conflicts, nor to yeilld
to any influence which may tend to
create an unwarranted bias toward the
people of.other lands, in this respect
the utterance of the Executive is most
timely in view of the Eusitania disaster.
which Is of a nature to inflame the
minds of men to a degree wherein
judgment is led astray and calm con
sideration is replaced hy an unreason
I able prejudice, detrimental both to
the holder and the object. It is against
possibilities of this nature that the Pre
sident really speaks, cautioning the
people of this nation to fairness and
judgment lest they lie led into rash
beliefs anti inclinations by acts of a
similar nature to that in which the
Lusitania was involved. In appealing
to the people of America to place the
' welfare of humanity above all other
objects of consideration in their re
lations and attitude toward the other
nations, the President has given the
American people a much needed warn
ing and one which, if heeded, will do
much to insure the future well-being of
their native land.
COMPELLING EUROPEAN
RESPECT.
Til one of the Australian papers re
cently there was a cartoon of John Bull
spanking Germany anil Uncle Sam
, standing at one side remarking that
he would like to carry on commerce
with Germany. To a Japanese stand
ing in the rear John Bull was remark
ing. ‘‘Yon take rare of Uncle Sam while
1 take care of Germany."
The rather crude idea reflects the
I somewhat general impression in Great
Britain that those who are not with
her are against her in the present war
Even the policy of neutrality which
| has been observed in the eountrv has
not pleased England The T.ondon.
Spectator, for Instance, resents “the in
difference. indeed callousness, toward
! Great Brltian and her cause shown by
I the government of the United States ”
It Is charged freely Tn England that
the policy of the United States Is cold
and selfish: that “America seems to
reckon up the matter in cold dollars ,
and cents rather than in terms of flesh I
and hlood and human suffering."
The German attitude is equally se
, cere. There is a feeling that the United
I States has heen lukewarm in the de
finition of its own rights, whereas the
clear statement of those rights would
| have enabled the civil population of
Germany to obtain the food shipped on
Iboard the Wilhelminn. I'ther warring
countries also complain against the
j American attitude N'ot one of them
is satisfied
It was not to he expected that a po
licy of neutrality would altogether
please any of the warring nations So
far the United States is concerned
1
however, there is something for more
important at stake than the pleasing
of any of the European nations The:
thing that is important is to enforce |
respect for the rights of the United
States.
Any policy that might have been in
mind looking to the pleasing of all the
warring nations, and offense to none,
might just as well lie abandoned. It
will he in line with strict neutrality to
enforce the rights of the United States I
without fear or favor, and without
dwelling too much upon the way in
which such enforcement will be re
ceived abroad. It must lie clear that
even with a wishy-washy policy none
of the belligerents will be satisfied. The
safety of this nation lies in a strong
and resolute polic.v which will enforce
American rights.
The United States may continue to
displease the warring nations—noth
ing that could in* done would avoid
that, except actual participation in the
war on one side or tile other—hut what
the country can do is to enforce its .
own rights in a way that will not en-1
courage transgressions that might lead

The new radio station to be erected
at Mile 13. along the Copper River &
Northwestern railway, will be for
commercial use and the one at Whits
hed will l>c continued for communica
tion with ships, etc Although not
unite enough money is available now
to complete this station, work is to
be started In June. This means that
a large working force will likely be
here most of the summer and that the
Buffalo or some other cruiser will be
in port for several months. This of
itself will mean considerable to the
town.—Cordova Times.
F. E. Becker, a former Fairbanks
{newspaper man. is running a paper in'
Reaver. I'tah, the new mining camp
which promises to outrival Tonopnh.
It is reported that a number of Alas
kans are in the district looking for
opportunities of getting in on the
ground floor. E. I-. James, the former
Fairbanks opera toff, is among (lie
i number. '
Wtiile doing development work on
the Engineer mine in the Atlln country
a rich pocket was encountered from
which *6.0e0 in free milling gold was
taken. Any sample of the ore averag
ed 65 per cent pure Some of the ore
in the Engineer is telluride. The mine
is being extensively developed. Miners
are now working on a contract for 3so
feet of tunnel work.
A. F. Zipf, traffic manager of the Al
uska Yukon Navigation Company, has

id. potatoes locally grown and fresh
vegetables locally grown, in shipments
consigned to one consignee, shipments:
t i lie of two tons or more: Hot Springs^
$15 per ton of 2.000 pounds; Tanana. 1
$17; Ruby, *22.50; Rikoman. *50.

The town of Tannna was forwarded
$3,040 by the clerk of the court at Fair
banks, March 1(1. It was money that
had been collected for licenses.
Attorney General Thomas W. Greg
ory recently wired to Fairbanks the i
appointment of Harry R Pratt as as- I
sistant district attorney.
“Hot Air Bob” llerrold. an old resi
dent of Tannna and surrounding coun
try, was sentenced to a year and four
months for selling liquor to Indians.
A new device for hand drilling has
been invented in Fairbanks and patent
applied for by Jack Shanks. It was
first suggested by a miner named Carl
son, of Valdez creek, and Shanks work"
ed out the idea. The device consists of
the usual tripod with a achieve at the
1 top from which the cable is suspended.
| However, instead of a walking plank as
(in the old style, the driller turns a
cylinder fastened to one side of the tri
pod. using a crank, or two men can
work a crank at each end of tlie cylin
der. As they turn it the drill is hoisted
a little and then is released by a tension
| spring on the cylinder. Power may tie
attached to it If desired.
There is good reason to believe that
the Guggenheims are now figuring on
securing some of tlie coal lands for
operation. Acocrding to the law no
combination can control more than a
certain amount, which, if memory is not
at fault, is acres. The Guggenheims
| would probably require the coal for
jiheir own quartz operations,

sult "f tin winter’s activities it is be
lieved tlie output of the camp will lie

less operations are restricted through
shortage of water.
