HERE AND THERE
IN ALASKA
ABOUT PEOPLE AND THINGS j
SOME OF US KNOW
_
The superintendent of construe- j
I tion O'Reilly at Anchorage made n i
trip up the Matanuska river as far j
as Moose Creek, establishing camps j
and other things preparatory to the ;
construction of the Matanuska rail
road branch line. Fifteen horse i
teams are now employed in freight
j ing supplies from Matanuska land
j ing to Moose Creek, where the prin
i cipal camp has been established.
The people at Anchorage are quite
| elated over the starting of the saw
! mill. The report hns it that in the
! neighborhood of $500 will be added
to the town’s payroll.
A report reached Fairbanks re
cently that one of the richest
i strikes ever made in Alaska had
been made in Tolovana. The report i
says that in some instances a sixty
dollar pan had been found.
Marshall City on the lower Yukon
.ds reported to be experiencing a
boom and it is said that there
will be more money taken out of
| .hat camp the coming season than !
is generally supposed. Several are '
taking out good size dumps, and are \
in good pay. There are about twen- ;
ty men prospecting now.
The old telephone line that w as !
put out of commission by the wire- |
less at Nualto, has been pressed in
to service by John Somers w-ho is
using it as a telephone line to St.
Michear.
The natives of Nome have caught
f.he indoor baseball fever from the
whites and have organized three
teams, two of boys and one com
posed of girls. One team has taken
j the name of Polar Bears and the
, other the Bering Sea. The native
> girls have selected the nameo f“Snow
Flakes” for their team. They have
Challenged the female ball tossers
i to a game.
Council City natives with plenty
j of fish, whitefish and greyling,
made a cleanup in Nome before the
j holidays as there was cuarth of this
whJesome and tooth?;,ne fool at
the tinii of t .!• arriva .
Men lost Hnir way vgl;t in the j
Lu-incss district cf Xom-- d rinir the

recently. C eat arose . urexie.t
ed places to the roofs of houses
and not a few had to dig themsel
ves out who the night before had
quite a time "digging themselves j
in.
The Nome Nugget says that i
Harry Leland, who has been in the
city during the past several days
is endeavoring to organize a party
to go to the locally famous hot
springs of the Tuluksak river re
gion, in the Kuskokwim district, to
spend an indefinite period in recre
atiorf and recuperation. He be
i lieves he will be able to form a j
party of a half a dozen persons, ;
and the intention is to proceed to ;
•the springs, erect a cabin and give
, a try out to the alleged health-giv
ing properties of the mineral waters.

GIVING ONE SIDE
OF A STORY
j CLAIM THAT GERMANY OBSER
VED INTERNATIONAL LAW
IS RIDICULED
The British official view which
may be accepted as the general
public view of the German note re
garding the Baralong case is given
out in the following, which to say
the least makes out a good one
sided story. It says:
“The Germans claim that their
army and navy have observed dur
ing the present war the principals
of international law* and humanity
and that the German authorities
take care that all violations will be
j carefully investigated and punished.
"Some surprise is expressed that
: the nation whose armed forces have
' been responsibe for the sacrifice,
of Louvain, the murder of hundreds
of unoffending men, women and chil
dren on the Lusitania and other
ships, the execution of Edith Cavell,
the poising of wells, attempted tor
pedoing of hospital ships, the intro
duction of poisonous gases, and
countless other atrocities should de
scribe their methods of warfare as
humane.
“It is further pointed out that it
would be interesting to know how
many German subjects, if any, have
been punished for these atrocities.
' The German claim that the Arabic
was torpedoed because the com
mander of the submarine had the
' canviction that the Arabic was
about to ram the submarine. The
true facts are that the Arabic was
deliberately sunk by a German sub
marine without warning and that
she neither attempted to attack the
submarine nor to escape from it.
With regard to the destruction
mander of the submarine, E-13, was
Danish waters by a German torpedo
boat destroyer, jt is claimed that
it came to fight between the war
vessels and that the submarine de
fended itself with gunfire. The
true fact’s «re as follows; The Gcr
1
mans found the submarine stranded
in neutral waters and incapable of
offensive or defensive action. The
| German destroyer fired a torpedo
j at the E-13. Tlie torpedo ex
! ploded dose to her. At the same
moment the German destroyer fired
j with all her guns, and the com
! of the British submarine E-13 in
I which was afire fore and aft, was
i
: unable to defend himself owing to
j being aground, gave orders to the
'• crew to abandon her. While the
; men were in the water they were
! fired upon with machine guns and
! shrapnel.
“The Germans defend their ac
tion in the case of the Ruelon the
ground that it was a measure of
reprisal in accordance with the
measures announced by the German
government in February, 1915. It
is claimed that these reprisals are
legitimate, owingto the action of
England in attempting to cut off
from Germany all imports, and
starve the German people. The
! Germans thus maintain their sub
i marine policy in consequence of
the British measures against Ger
i man trade.
“This is, of course, quite untrue,
the exact opposite being the case.
As far back as December, 1914, Ad
miral von Tirpitz foreshadowed the
submarine blockade of Great Britain
and submarine attacks were made !
on a merchant ship and a hospital !
ship on January 30 and February 1, ;
respectively. Moreover, as far
back as September, 1914, a Dutch
ship with a cargo of grain for Dub
lin and Belfast was sunk by the
Karlsruhe and the American ship
W. P. Frye was similarly sunk on i
January 28.
“Further, on February 14,the Ger- !
man government declared its inten- j
tion of instituting a general sub- i
marine blockade of Great Britain
and Ireland with the avowed pur
pose of cutting off all supplies from
these islands and this blockade was
put into effect on February 18.
“It was on March 11 that the
British government put into force
as a means of reprisal measures
against German trade which the
German government now tries to
maintain were the cause of its sub
marine policy.
“The Germans maintain that in
the cases of the Arabic, the E-13,
and the Ruel they were only aiming
at the destruction of hostile ships,
and in nowise the destruction of
helpless persons. The death roll
of the Arabic, the shelling of the
British sailors as they were swim
ming ashore after abandoning the
E-13 and the firing on the crew of
the Ruel, who were attempting to
save themselves in the boats, suf
ficiently answer their claims.
“With regard to the German re
fusal to submit the Baralong case
and the three cases put forward by
the British government for inves
tigation by an impartial neutral tri
bunal, this action seems hard to
explain if the Germans are really
so convinced as they say of the
guilt of the British commander and
fhe innocence of the perpetrators
of three outrages cited by the Bri- .
tish government
So far as the British government
is concerned is entirely untrue to
say that the British government
has left unfilled a just demand for
investigation. It has proposed it
and it is the Germans who have
rejected it, doubtless because they
know full well that the cases in
which they are the defendants :
Would be decided against them by (
an impartial tribunal.”
