The frequency of the Zeppelin
air raids aiong the British coa,st
suggests that Britain has not ful
ly learned the obvious lessons of
tlie war although the struggle is
now approaching the third year of
duration. Something like twenty
four or live times the Germans
have d scended upon the British
cities with their giant Zeppelins
or lesser air craft. In each in
stance they have succeeded in in
dicting at least some costly dam
age and in the majtfrity of cases
have caused an immense destruc
tion of both life and property.
That this is true can hardly be ,
doubted in the face of the num
erous evidences that have leaked
out in spite of the suppressive cf- 1
forts of the censors. Millions of
dollars worth of property damage
and a toll of human lives reaching
well toward the thousands have
ben exacted by the German aerial
squadrons since the world was
startled by the first great raid on
the British metropolis fifteen
months ago. In almost every in
stance the Zeppelins have been
able to deal a stinging blow but
have themselves escaped without
injury of a serious nature. So
far as the official reports disclose
r.o more than three of the Ger
man airships have come to grief
during their frequent depreda
tions and in but one instance has
it been actually determined that
their destruction was directly at
tributable to enemy activities.
Presuming that such disablement
or destruction was the result of
British counter attack, it is a sur
irisingly small reprisal for the
vholesafe damage the Zeppelins
lave wrought. When one stops
;o think of it it is not surprising
that the British public are at las
becoming alarmed after month’s
of levity concerning the reported
harmless visits of the “German
sausages.” The repeated attack
are at last becoming convincing
that England is facing a vert
grim and very dreadful danger
net an opera bouffe Spectacle 01
an interesting, albeit humorous,
series of trifling episodes. The
bombs, which at first only tickled
be English risibilities, are com
mencing to pierce the thick shell
of British egoism and im»ouicance
and to present possibilities of ap
palling disaster. Thinking Brit
ish men and women are commenc
ing to realize that their own lives
may be the price of a vain-glori
ous and contemptuous indiffer
once on the part of both the
masses and government. The
most amazing feature of the
whole business is that England
has been so slow to awake to an
active realization of the potential
ities of the Zeppelin as a weapon
of offense
In other respects the British
seem to have observed and profit
ed well by the examples of the
wars so it is difficult to understand
why it is that they have overlook
ed the obvious dangers of air at
tacks directed against their
towns and cities. Stranger
still is the apparent ab
sence of effective measures to
prevent such attacks after their
danger had been clearly demon
strated. France has succeeded in
reducing the danger of Zeppelin
raids to the minimum, as disclos
ed by the fact that but few of the
efforts to attack Paris or other
large cities have resulted in more
than a nominal amount of dam
and that in only a few in
tances after the first six months
of the war. In the majority of
cases the Zeppelins have been
driven off before they had an on
portunity to accomplish tfieir
deadly intentions Yet, situation
considered, Paris is a much more
convenient object for attack than
London or New Castle or other
populous centers along the Brit
sli coasts. The explantion for the
greater frequency of the attacks
on Britain seems to rest not so
ntich upon a greater desire on the
tart of Germany to damage Eng
and as it does on the premise that
ittacks on British towns may be
•onsumated with greater ease
d absence of danger because of
lack of protective methods. The
Germans would probably avoid
Britain as much as they do France
the British were as well pre
>ared to defend themselves as are
he French.

Private advices have been re
ceived at Anchorage that Secre
tary Lane of the interior depart
ment ha« reached the decision to
take away the lots party purchas
ed by the people convicted of
boot legging here The selling of
liquor is regarded as a violation
<pf the regulatiqns. Other cases of
the same kind are now pending
and the same action is believed to
be probable. The parties involved
are those who .vere found guilty
in the local commissioner’s court.
Jack Lahey, a prospector, was
found starved to death in a cabin
200 miles up the Koyukuk river
from the mouth by Peter Kokrine,
a native says the Ruby Record of
March n. In the cabin was a let
ter stating that the dead man’s
partner, Tom Wilson, started for
assistance; but he has never been
heard from so has probably per
ished
This news was brought to Nu
lato by natives a few days ago.
\\ oid was received here yester
;\ that Deputy Marshal J- \Y.
MacCormack would be starting
from Xulato today to give the
body burial.
W ilson was well known around
Ruby, but no one seems to be
able to place Lahey'.
According to word received in
Fairbanks George Hering, the son
of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Hering, of
Fairbanks, has been granted a free
scholarship at Washington Uni
versity for the last semster of the
year. He has the distinction of
being ninth on the list and of be
ing the only man outside the state
of Washington to get a free scho
larship.
Two hundred and eighty six
scholarships were granted. Of
these, 86 wrere girls, and 200 men.
The scholarships were given ac
cording to standing in their class
es and consisted of a general av
erage of all their studies. Mr.
Piering is in his second year at the
university and is taking the law
course.
\ case of more than ordinary
interest to the citizens of this
section was tried before Justice
O’Connor on Friday. A. E. Todd.j
the McCarthy merchant, brought
suit, against W- R. Faddis. who
keeps a restaurant at the same
place, for the restoration of cer
tain lots occupied by Faddis at
McCarthy. F. H. Foster, repre
senting the plaintff. The jury;
brought in a verdict in favor of
the plaintiff, finding that Faddis
had forfeited his lease and that he
be ousted from the premises in a
reasonable time. *There has been
much dispute about the rights of
squatters and others claiming un
der possessory right at McCarthy
and the present suit will have a
wholesome effect in clearing the
local atmosphere.—Chitina Lead

It may prove interesting to
those persons who entertain
doubts as to the worth of interior
low grade coal to learn that the
White Pass company has finally
passed favorable judgment on the
Five Fingers coal of Yukon terri
tory. During the season recently
closed the \\ hite Pas^ shipped 600
tons of coal from Tantalus, and
after a fair and thorough trail the
railroad people decided the Yukon
coal is vastly superior to the im
ported article; hence its use will
follow. Several thousand tons
,vere also shipped to Dawson’,
where its use is becoming gener
al and it is giving satisfaction.
It has taken more than twelve
years for the Five Fingers Coal
Company, headed by ^ George J.
Milton, of St. Paul, to demon
strate the value of Its product. Of!
course such a thing could not have
been done at all on the American
side of the boundary; and the Al
aska coal lands leasing law has
( lade developments more abso
lutely impossible except within
three small areas of the territory
