City Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA. JUNE 9. 1915.
While it may he true that we won't
get anything if we don't ask for it, it
is also most assuredly a fact that the
request of the late legislature fur con
trol of the Ashing industry was doomed
to meet with a negative answer from
the moment of its inception. The con
trol of this important Alaska industry
in too big a thing for the congressional
whips to let slip beyond their own con
trol. for the present at least. Neither
is the idea at all agreeable to the fish
ing interests themselves for the purely
economic reason that the change will
doubtless result in a more equitable
system of taxation which is in no
sense In accordance with their ideas
of what is right. Between the desire
of Congress to keep the revenues de
rived from this industry, combined
with the unwillingness of the fish
barons to accept a change which may
tend to prejudice their interest, it will
doubtless be many a long year before
the people of Alaska will have any
more than a trifling share in the im
mense revenues drawn from the waters
adjacent to their coasts. While real
izing tho futility of the question, we
would nevertheless like to know just
what stage of territorial development
the honorable Secretary considers es
sential before the people of Alaska
can safely be granted their just right
to exert <se eontrol over such industries
as derive their revenue from the ex
ploitation of the territory.
The announcement that Secretary oi
State llryan has handed In his resig
nation has doubtless created consid
erable consternation in the Democra
tic ranks Not thut llryan is himseli
a powerful factor in the destinies ol
the party but rather that tho summary
quittance of his position as the head
of the most important department oi
the government indicates that there Is
h serious rift in the Democratic lute
At least the indications are hardly
compatible with the recurrent asser
tions that, despite the political storms
beating savagely at the Democratic
bulwarks from without, all was still
harmonious within. In the absence of
details concerning this unexpected
event it is difficult to form an estimate
of its full import but at the same time
it is indicated that tho present is preg
nant with possibilities of tremendous
importance, the nature of which can
but be guessed at present. The ab
sence of previous outward indication
that an event of such startling nature
was Imminent but further (lighten* the
1 belief that storms art brewing which
may threaten to sertbusly disturb the
national economy at no- far distant
date. It is difficult to believe that the
resignation* of Bryan is a matter of
long contemplation while the contrary
belief still further suggests that some
sudden and unexpected crisis leading
to serious friction has arisen within
the administrative • circle. Whatever
may be the reason for the unlocked for
action, it is believed that with the de
parture of Brian the administration
loses one of its strongest arms
PREMEDIATED WAR.
No recent official statement con
cerning the war Iw more important
than that made by ex«Premier Oiolitti,
of Italy, in the debate upon the vote
of confidence on the Salandra ministry,
that Austria communicated both to
Germany and to Italy in August, 1913.
her "intention to act against Servla.”
This lightning stroke from Rome
confirms much that has hlthsrtu rested
upon deduction; that the German In
crease in the active army and the di
rect property levy for military pur
pose* were preparations for a definite
ly expected war: that Austria, almost
a year before the murder of one Arch
duke gave her a pretext, was already
planning her onslaught on the hapless
Jand which, a* Count Mensdorff told
Sir Edward Grey In July, she “had
always regarded as being in the Aus
trian sphere of Influence”; and that
the real catwe of the greater struggle
was the Balkan war and Serbia’s
growing power as a barrier on tlie
Austrian road to Salonica.
Tty Oiolitti statement explains also
why Germany, at the opening of the
great struggle, showed so much more
anxiety to keep Great Hrituin out of
the war than to draw Italy Into it;
Austria had already been warned by
the late Marquis di San Gluliano, with
Giolittl’s concurrence, that an attack
upon Serbia would he considered "not
defensive, because nobody thinks of
attacking her." Berlin and Vienna
knew in a year in advance how Rome
would interpret her'treaty obligations
They felt themselves strong enough
to deal with France and Russia The
failure to pacify England—the failure
to see in advance that the German
powers could not pacify her while in
vading Belgium and smashing France
was the great diplomatic blunder of
the century.
Incidentally, the fact that the most
powerful Italian statesman is not
averse at this critical time to throw
ing such a bombshell into She (lerman
Austrian camp is in itself significant,
and not impossibly prophetiw—-Ex

Chas. A. Hopp, editor of the Doug
las Island News, was elected council
man at the recent municipal election,
Tlie other councilman are: Peter John

Frank Oliver. A total of 436 votes
were cast--Seward Gateway.
The first bill introduced by Senator
Thus. McGann. ufter his arrival in
Juneau, was one putting the axe to
professional jurymen. The measure
is short, containing ainvut 150 words.
Under its provisions no juror can
serve more than once on any regular
panel, and If shown he has served
more than three tines as talisman or
on an open venire in the same length
of time, he is disqualified—Rx

Admiral Watson for Seattle where he
will undergo treatment for his foot,!
which he crushed about two years ago
and has never properly healed.
The Alaska legislature has “mem
orialized'' congress in reference to the
establishment of a smelter in this ter
ritory. This document sets forth that
there are many millions of tons of
magnetic ore, containing more or less
values hi copper with which it is as
sociated. Ther* is no means of sav
ing this iron ore and It Is mined and
shipped only for its c lUcitte of cop
per, gold and silver; &M fro* being
thrown out in the slag dutfips as waste.
JUNKAU.—The divisional road su
pervisor hill passed the house by a
vote of 9 to 7 recently, the vote having,
been taken after the noon recess. The
bill provides that a road commissioner
from each division, named by the
legislature, shall have Jurisdiction to

SERBIANS ARE
SUFFERING EVERY
POSSIBLE SORROW
"Today one million Serbians, one
third of the population, are suffering
every possible sorrow. They are des
titute of everything. Since the begin
ning of the war. when their lands were
turned Into battlefields, they have en
dured terrible privations, and their suf
ferings have been still greater during
the war because the first invasion took
away a great proportion of the peas
ants, who remained behind to provide
food for the families of those who were
fighting
"Women, the mothers, wives and
sisters nnd the children of a million
Serbians are suffering now because of
the second Invasion, which must last
much longer, and more Serbians still
are being driven from their homes. In
six of the most fertile districts no less
than fifty per cent of the children are
diing from lack of nourishment and
medicine, from cold and exposure. In
the invaded villages everything has
been pillaged and destroyed, and when
tlie unfortunate refugees who are com
nelled to fiee return to their homes
they will lie in a majority of eases find
nothing either in the shape of houses
or food.
"I have seen the refugees The
children are pitiable sights, little spec
tres of emaciation, not comprehending
the miserv in which they find them
selves, with wide staring eyes, hungxv
and ill. with no food hut dry bread,
and milk an impossibility.
"Many mothers are too worn out
with care and suffering and the mem
ories of pathetic little graves witli
wooden crosses to seek for further aid
for those who survive.”

Typhus fever of the most virulent form
has broken out in the concentration
camps and among the soldiers. Inns
much as the disease is carried by ver
min and many of the people are in
rags, this plague can only lie eradi

clothes and the work of a sanitary
commission of expert doctors having
a special knowledge of Typhus.
