WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.
Today, through the length and
breadth of 1 lie 1'nited states the citizen.'
of tie' land, irrespective of nation
ality ue joining in the celebration oi
the natal day of the greatest of all
Vrnertcnii citizens and patriots, Oeorgc
Washington I’ew names that grace
tin- age long scroll of time are grentet
than that of he of whom it has been de
servingh written "first in war, first in
peace and first in the hearts of his
countrymen.' Renowned for virtue
mure than im martial deeds; beloved
for ,i depth of kindness and compassion
for the suffering of his fellow (features
seldom epualled; praised for a wisdom
and foresight which guides the course
<>f the nation oven to the present day.
the name of Washington has become
the object of veneration, not only to his
country men but to all men whose
hearts respond to noble deeds and man
ly graces. With the passing years the
name and fame of Washington ns the
Mtvlor of a weak and struggling nation
it m the iron shod heel of oppression
ud tin throttling clutch of a trvants
hand, continues to grow in the hearts
of all of mankind who love the principles
of the Ood given right of freedom, and
(■itch day witnesses a tendance to place
him upon a still higher eminence
mong those famous ones whose deeds
have redounded to the benefit of those
who followed after And we of the land
who directly fell the wondrous in
fluences created by his acts are proud
Indeed that our greatest citizen deser
yes the worlds acclaim, and doubly
proud that his guerdon of fame rest
not solely on the glory of martial
deeds; that his greatest claim to the
world’s regard lies in that nobility of
spirit, that unselfishness of purpose
which, led him to the relief of his fel

GERMANY’S UNWISE DETER.
MINATIUN,
Tim ruthless disregard ni tl.o rights
cl neutral nation* displayed by Ger
many in refusing to recede from the
position she lias taken in tlie rnattci
of the recently instituted war zone
round tlie British isles is fast arous
ing a feeling of hostility which that
nation can ili afford to disregard.
1 tie recent emphatic protest of Hol
land and the present attitude of the
government of the L'nited .Stales as
indicated by the dispatches oi the past
'low days leads to the belief Uval in
Mead of deriving the benellts to be
I expec ted from the striking of a deadly
j mow al her most powerful foe she Inns
. in reality only succeeded in creating
! i auditions which make her position
t i on more precarious.
Germany is not and never lias been
noted for her diplomacy. Delicacy ol
11reception seem* not to be a part ol
i.erman nature, despite the acknovv
0 dged profundity of German thought
. hruughout the mazes of Uie world
politics in which Germany lias been
involved, her dealings with tiei sister
nations liuv e ever been chacluilzed
o> a certain duggedness of purpose
vviilcb lias in but lew instances dis
j played other than a determination iu
force matters in the desired direction
regardless of tlie views of the other*
1 uicerm'd. The "mailed list’' long ac
cepted us a humorous designation ol
tins predominant characteristic of the
German nation has had a foundation
in fact hut little understood by Ameri
cans. In tlie present situation thb
lack of regard for the rights of those
w ho are not in the least concerned in
, tlie European struggle is displayed
with forcible clarity iri the replies de
livered to the American note relative
to the precautions to tie taken to safe
1 guard the rights of neutral shipping
i v. hicli might he compelled to enter the
waters of the arbitrarily instituted wai
i zone around the British Isles The
German replies to American notes are
in every way characteristic .end, in ad
dition, display, if we may judge froni
the tone of the telegrams received here
an attitude of vacillation, of a desire
to temporize, to avoid a direct state
ment, which hut ill comforts with tin
| friendly feeling expressed on theii
1 face. What the attitude of the l'nited
' States will he in tlie future is not a*
i vet determined and will in oil probabil
ity depend on the developments or the
future. The American contention that
the protniseous laying of mines in
waters which constitute a highway for
neutral shipping is unwarranted mid
constitutes a menace, which cannot lie
let pass without protest, is confirmed
by till' fact that such acts were among
(tie first to he condemned to The
Hague peace conference
The free scattering of those deadlc
instruments of warfare is to he de
plored in any instance and Hie de
liberate placing of them along the
highways of commerce in such manner
its to not only constitute a menace to
shipping hut also to seriously threaten
tlie industries and general wellbeing
I of nations which are in no way con
cerned. will deservedly' result In the
condemnation of all right thinking
I peoples and may even lend to eondi
i lions which Germany will ultimately
view with sincere regret. In the pre
sent crisis in her career, the policy of
I attempting to proceed regardless of the
principles of right and justice, and also
I of the views of those who are in a
position to lend an added weight to
the Damucleau sword which trembles
above her head, displays to the gaze
; of the world a feature of the German
nature, which will win hut few friends
to the cause in which she fights Do
fiance to Iter natural enemies is all
very well and very natural, but the
| determination to persist in a course of
actions which not only threatens a vast
measure of harm to the innocent but
is also in defiance of the canons of
right, is very likely to prove a boom
erang from the hurtling return of which
Germany will find herself so deeplv
wounded that she may not recover
Thomas Higgs. Jr., addressed the
, Sourdough Club of the i'nsersity of
i Washington recently, and gave the
students an idea of what Alaska will
become within the next decide lie
said in part: ".Millions in money are
1 awaiting a chance to go into Alaska.
I The same kind of millions th«J opened
; Hie Hand in South Africa to wealth. In
South America and Australia and
made possible Hie fortunes in Gall
fornta. Colorado and Nevada mines are
clamoring for admittance into Alaska.
Alaska is tlie Inst great undeveloped
i empire. Just as soon as capital is as
1 sured transportation, then investments
will be made and development get its
impetus. We are going to build tail
roads in Alaska, and 1 took for a
healthy, steady and wonderfu%*?row th
■ during the next decade The gold
mining industry is due for a richer life
tltan tt bus ever had. The flirtminer
of today ill Alaska is a dtffeient man
from the placer miner of the old bo
nanza days. He does not come home
from tt night in Hie dance liall now to
start work the next morning in a hap
hazard way. he reads the mining mag
azines and engineers reports and goes
about the development of his proper
ties in a scientific and systematic
fashion." He urged the younger gen
I eration of Alaska typified in the uni
versity students composing the Sour
dough club, to do what they could to
disi»el the pessimism of the old sour
doughs who bemoan the passing of the
"old days."—Cordova Alaskan.
