The sinking of the White Star liner
Arable udicates clearly that the Uer
IH.1I.M have no intention of abandoning
the methods of submarine warfare
against which tlie United States has
so jiersia.cntly protested and it also
threatens to complicate still further
the diP -fences at present existing be
tween Hie two nations. If the prelim
inary leports concerning the attack
indicate the true facts, the Arabic at
tack Is almost an exact parallel of the
I.usinlunia disaster with the excep
tion that fewer lives were lost and the
oas< Is thus divested of the aspects of
horror ittending that first great fa
tality. il is also probable that the
reasons which will lie offered by Ger
many in extenuation of the act will be
tl.e same as were offered as Justifica
tion for the sinking of the great Cu
nard liner—that the vessel was en
gaged in carrying ammunition and
other var supplies. This mutter of
earrying war supplies is really the
substance of the whole dlrpute between
the United States and Germany and,
while the United States insists that
such proceedure is allowable under the
terms of international law, Germany
assumes the view that conformity
thereto is a distinct menace to her
safety. In effect Germany insists that
every pound of ammunition received
by her enemies means the death of a
number of her fighting units with a
consequent general lowering of the ef
ficiency of her forces. She, therefore,
deems it just and right that she de
stroy. by any possible means, ammuni
tion shipments destined to her oppon
ents. It cannot hut be agreed that
there Is much of justifiable reason in
this point of view, especially when it
is remembered that Germany feels that
the present struggle involves her very
existence as a national entity. While
the United States does not openly deny
the right of Germany to hinder the
operations of the enemy, it at the same
time Insists that such hindrance shall
not tie carried on at the jeopardy of
neutral lives. The matter thus, in a
sense, resolves itself into a question of
methods—Germany can seize or sink
ammunition cargoes at will, provided
that she does not menace the lives of
neutral citizens in so doing. While the
international laws allow the open free
dom of the high seas, there is a con
siderable question of whether the
TTnited States Is not in a measure culp
able In permtting shipments of war
munitions on vessels carrying passen
gers, especially when Germany has
clearly defined her position in the mat
ter. True It Is that such things are
permitted by the international laws
and our attitude is therefore permis
sible. but. In the face of the fact that
Germany has and undoubtedly will
continue to insist that, under the cir
cumstances. she cannot avoid Jeopard
izing the lives of those who willfully
travel on vessels carrying ammunition
cargoes. It would seem the part of
wisdom to either prohibit the ship
ment of ammunition on other than
cargo vessels or else restrict the carry
ing of passengers on vessels engaged
in such traffic. Germany has practi
cally declined to accept the general
interrelation of the international laws
and, as we can do nothing to enfore
their acceptance, it would seem by all
means desirable to recede from our
present attitude of rigid inflexibility In
order that such ocean fatalities as the
T.usitania may he avoided as far as
possible in the future. We could then
g> on protesting to our hearts content
hut while we were so doing no valuable
lives would he lost through Germany’s
| failure to warn the vessels which she
destroys. In the face of the apparent
fact that we ran do absolutely nothing
to force the Germans to comply with
the international laws we have the al
t. rnative of at lenst placing it beyond
their power to injure the lives of our
citizens by restricting the carrying of
ammunition and passengers on the
same vessel. We will thus be exert
ing a more decided effort in their be
half than tan lie accomplished by a
ship load of protests that are of no
effect whatever in procuring that de
sirable result.

The river steamer Lois, which will
be operated on the Susitna and Yentna
rivers by the Cache Greek Dredging
company, was recently towed up the
coast by the tug Pioneer. The tug
also brought the barge Garden City
and another barge as well as the Loie.
The steamer is believed to be well
adapted for negotiating the shallow
rivers < n which she will ply. She Is
S5 feet long and 25 feet wide, flat bot
tomed.
The Totatlanika valley is believed to
he the best trapping grounds in Inter
ior Alaska, espeteally for cross and
Mack foxes. One trapper. Fred Keif,
who spent a season there recently, re
turned to Fairbanks with eighteen
cross, four black, and says that red
foxes are so plentiful that be did not
take the trouble to eateh them. The
black fox pelts are said to be the best
ever taken in Alaska and are very
valuable.
G. Fills Gardner, assistant district
attorney in the Fourth division, has
resigned and returned to his home In
North Carolina. He is referred to by
Fairbanks exchanges as an exception
ally capable officer and his departure
is regretted. Friction among the offi
cials is believed to hnve been the cause
of his quitting office. His daughter
was recently forced to resign her po
sition In the public schools of Fair
banks. although the parents of the
pupils insisted that her services be
retained. Factional squabbles are at
the bottom of the troubles.
So many people have been bitten by
dogs in Petersburg that the town
council Is considering an ordinance
to prohibit (lie canines from running
at large.
Forest flrer raging between Fair
banks and Tolovana have made travel

thick with smoke, making traveling
uncertain where there is no trail to
