WEDNESDAY, MAY io, 1916.
Now that the negotiations with
Germany to restrict the subma
rine warfare within the limits of
the international law have term
inated so successfully it would
appear that the president should
now devote his attention to the
task of inducing England to ob
serve a proper appreciation of
those neutral rights which he so
insistently demanded that Ger
many should observe. Unless
Mr. \\ ilson is indeed guilty of
the rank partiality for the allies,
of which he has been more than
once accused, it is plainly up to
him to call England to account
for the many gross violations of
neutral privileges of which that
nation has been guilty A strict
ly impartial attitude, such as we
so blatantly profess, demands
that we shall treat all belliger
ents ailke, granting to one no
more privileges than to the other.
If we concede that this is true
then American dignity and Am
erican neutrality demand that
England shall be made to con
form to the same code of con
duct we so resolutely insist shall
he observed by Germany. Britain
is no less guilty of transgress
ing the rights of neutrals than
her sister nation and should be
held to an equally strict account
ing. We have insisted that Ger
many must respect the right of
our citizens to travel the seas
whenever and under what cir
sumstances they choose. We
have imperatively demanded that
her marine activities shall he
confined to such limits as will
not endanger the lives or infringe
upon the privileges of our peo
ple. To do this we have stuffed
the doctrine of international law
down the throat of that nation
until we ourselves have grown
sick of listening to the repetition
of our claims. We have brow
beat and cajoled in the name of
the international law until Ger
many, probably from sheer wear
iness. has conceded practically
everything that we demanded.
With Germany as the offender,
we have stuck to our job of up*
holding the rights of neutrals
right manfully. Now let us do
the same with England. England
has no right whatever to restrict
our trade, to confiscate our car
goes, to seize our ships when
hound to neutral ports or to in
any way limit our free rights
upon the seas—all of which she
has done without the slightest
warrant of international law at
various times during the war pe
riod. If our right to call Ger
many to account for attacks up
on neutral privileges is clearly
defined so also is our right to
call Great Britain to account for
her attacks upon and interfer
ences with our commerce and
trade with neutral nations equal
ly clear We have called Ger
many to account and have been
granted full satisfaction but we
have not called England to ac
count, unless the few feeble pro
tests we have made may be so
considered. At the present hour
the British government asserts
the right to supervise and inter
t'er with our foreign trade rela
tions.
Furthermore, she not only as~
suines the right to supervise and
regulate but also has the supreme
audacity to forbid any commerce
between the United States and
other neutral nat ons which she
considers detrinVntal or injur
ious to her present or future in
tersts. Right at the present mo
ment our rubber manufacturers
must sign an agreement not to
sell any manufactured or partial
ly manufactured rubber goods
to others than those designated
by Great Britain. They dare
not sell such goods to an Am
erican citizen without first sat
■sfving then selves that such ar
ticles are not intended for for
eign export.
' »ur manufactures of antinnmv
products an 1 other metal deav s
are also compelled to sign awn
their privileges to deal w:t!i
whom they pnfl in the sa
humiliating ira.mer Our wxd
n manufact.-its are denied :hi

tiny agree fit f sell the maru

They must either obey or go out
of business. England does just
about as she pleases, regulates
our commerce, seizes our non
contraband cargoes en route to
neutral ports and commands us
ns she wills. Not a day passes
that she does not in some manner
transgress our neutral rights and
privileges.
Germany has interfered with
the right of our citizens to trav
el the seas unmolested. England
interferes with both our citizens
and their property. The actions
of both were in defiance of the
international law. It therefore
follows that if the one is cnlpa

hie so also is the other. We have
forced Germany by means of
threats and cajolery to grant our
rights so why shall we not do
the same with England? If such
action is justified in the one in
stance it is clearly justified in
the other. If we are fair and im
partial it is the duty of the presi
dent to treat the aggressions and
injuries of England in exactly
the same manner as he ha§ treat
ed the aggressions and injuries
of Germany. To be neutral we
must be just and exact as much
from the one than we exact from
the other.
RUSSIAN GREEK CHURCH
WITHDRAWS, ALASKA
The Russian government has
notified the United Staes depart
ment of the interior, which in
turn has sent notice to the de
partment’s heads in Alaska, that
the orthodox Greek Catholic
church has withdrawn from its
mission work among the Alaska
natives
The conference to which the
southwest portion of Alaska be
longed was located in headquar
ters on Ninety sixth street, New
York city. Quite a number of
priests were employed, with sal
aries ranging from $900 a year
up.
This organization numbered
about 98 per cent of the natives
of the lower Kuskokwim region
among its members.—Iditarod
Pioneer.
WOULD CANGE NAME OF
THEIR OWN TOWN
A petition was presented to
Judge Bunnell by Attorney A. R.
iieiug on behalf of the cit.zens
of \\ oodchopper. This petition
sets forth that the residents of
that community desire to incor
porate as a city of the first class,
and to change the name of the
settlement to Buckeye. The pe
tition was signed by 104 male
residents of the settlement, and
was accepted by Judge Bunnell.
The court set the date for con
sider.ng the petition as May 10,
1916, at 10 a m., at which time
those in favor and those oppos
ing the said petition may be
heard in open court.
In the petition the residents of
Woodchopper set forth some
reasons why they should incor
porate. They state that the set
tlement is located 14 miles from
navigable water and 20 miles
from Hot Springs. There are
too substantial buildings, two
roadhouses, three bunkhouses,
one restaurant, three saloons,
three general merchandise stores,
two poolrooms, one blacksmith
;hop, one hospital and two bar
ber shops.
NATIVE SENTENCED
ON LARCENY CHARGE
According to advices received
in Fairbanks, Commissioner Ger
aghty, of the Iditarod, sentenced
Lee Howard, native, to 100 days
in jail for the larceny of a wol
verine skin. The sentence follow
ed a plea of guilty by the de
fendant.
There would be nothing worth
commenting on in the case were
it not for the fact that it presents
an unusual circumstance. The
case involves the application of
tribal customs which conflict w*th
white man’s laws, and the effect
of the punishment will probably
serve as a warning that the terri •
torial laws arc paramount and
must be respected.
It appears that a native re
cently died, and his widow took
possession of his effects. Ac
cording to native customs, the
relatives of the deceased had a
prior claim on his property, and
in seeking to enforce these
claims, Howard is said to have
stolen the property of the de
ceased.
The arrest was made by Dep
uty Marshal Percy Charles and
nec.«|sitated a trip to Shagluk
from the Iditarod It took 13
dogs just one week to make the
trip.
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
