NOME, ALASKA, SEPT. 6. 1916.
The importance of the Roumanian
entry into the war is already becom
ing apparent in the victorious advance
of the military forces of the diminu
tive Balkan state toward the heart of
one of the richest and most populous
sections of the Austrian empire.
if the reports may bo trusted, the
Roumanians are pouring into Hungary
through practically every accessible
avenue ol entry along the border and
with every step of their advance mark
ed by continuous victories over the
opposing Austrians. Following along
the line of the railroad routes they
have penetrated many miles within
the Austrian boundries, capturing sev
eral important towns and apparently
over coming the Austrian resistence
with comparative ease. Austria lias
already admitted the abandonment of
Hei uuinstadt, one of the largest and
most important towns in southern
Austria, together with other communi
ties of prominence, thereby confirm
ing in no small degree the conclusion
that she is practically unable to offer
an effective resistence to the onrush
mg Slavs.
The objective of military movements
is, of course, rather difficult to de
termine and it may be possible that
tlie Austrians are conducting their op
erations with a view to leading the
Roumanians into the more accessible
sections north of the Maros before
attempting to deal a shattering blow.
It is much more reasonable deduc
lion, however, that she is totally un
able to muster a sufficiently powerful
force to stay the the Roumanian co
horts.
Driven to the limits of her resist
live ability in holding back the mighty
forces of the czar, it is extremely'
doubtful if she dare to deplete her
Ualacian lines to meet the newer dan
ger rising like a cloud of doom in the
south. Unless the Russian reports are
deliberately false, Austria has fur
more than she can do to prevent the
Slavic hosts along her eastern bor
ders from sweeping in a torrential
llood over Galicia into Hungary. De
spite her deprecating reports it is
clearly apparent that she is fighting
with all her strength to prevent the
Russian invasion from becoming a rout
that will sweep the dual empire to de
struction.
J ne lew meager reports emanating
from the Vienna war office disclose
with certainty that Austria is fight
ing a losing battle in the east and is
constantly retreating before the tre
mendous blows from the Russian flail.
Under such circumstances it Is prac
tically certain that she is crowding
all her available fighting units into the
defending eastern line and has few if
any reserve forces that may be safely
diverted to the defense of the rich
and populous Transylvania section.
At best it hardly appears possible
for her to present an effective fight
ing force to match the three hundred
or more thousand excellently trained
and equipped warriors that Roumania
has, or can, pluce in the field. The
entrance of Roumania appears in
every way to have placed the Aus
trians in a position of serious jeopardy
that is bordering close upon disaster.
Unless Germany is able to lend as
sistance it appears very likely that a
few weeks will find Austria in most
desperate straits. With Italy tearing
at her most vulnerable point in the
west and with the mighty Russian
wave slowly enguflng her in the east,
the Roumanian invasion appears very
much like the last straw needed to
break down the backbone of her de
fense and cloiu- the way for utter dis
comfiture.
TELLING THE TRUTH.
It is neither pleasant nor profitable
to tell the truth in the columns of a
newspaper, says the Publishers’ Aux
iliary. Men who have tried this have
Invariably come to grief. Only a few
days ago the editor of a paper got
tired of being called a liar and an
nounced that he would tell the truth
in the future, and the netx issue of
his paper contained the following:
"John Bonin, the laziest man in town,
made a trip to the city yesterday.”
“John Coyle, our groveryman, Is do
ing a poor business. His store is dir
ty and his stock poor. How can lie
expect to do much?”
“Our ball team would be a good one
if we had a new pitcher, catcher, a
few basemen and some fielders. Other
wise they are all right, though they
drank too much at their recent game
in Bellville to expect to play ball."
"Rev. Styx preached last night on
‘Charity.’ The sermon was punk.”
"Miss Sylvan Rhodes and James
Pretty were married last Saturday at
the Baptist parsonage. The bride is
a very ordinary town girl who does not
Know any more about housekeeping
than a Jack rabbit, and never helped
her mother get a meal in her life. She
has a wart on her nose and a sour
disposition. The groom is an up-to
date loafer. He has always lived on
his folks and is not worth a whoop. It
will be comical to watch them try to
make a living on love.”
if a paper told the truth that is the
slutf it would be filled with and the
editor would either be dead or in jail.
Just so long as mankind is frail and
weak just that long can we expect to
bolster up Ills reputation and gloss
over fiis faults.
And why should’nt we?—Ex.

SUBJECT OF THE MIKADO
CREATES SERIOUS TROUBLE
IN NEGOTIATING A LOAN
According to the story told to Com
missioner Ueraghtj by tl. Wada, the
industrious little Japanese resident of j
Iditarod, the business methods ol cling I •
EkeJa, a fellow countryman, do not
tally very closely with the accepted
commercial ethics in vogue in this
country. As a result of a mix-up
winch occurred in the cabin of Wada
recently Kkeda is nursing a rather
bad cut inflicted with an ax in the
hands of Wada and the latter contrib
uted $5 and costs on a charge of as
sault, to which he pleaded guilty. A
charge of assault with a deadly wea
pon previously had been filed, but the
principals being the only witnesses,
the defendant was allowed to plead to
i m serious charge because of the
• act that it would have been difficult
to ascertain the facts on the graver
charge had it come to trial. The Idi
tarod Pioneer tells the details of the
case as follows:
Wada told the commissioner that
some days ago Kkeda came to him io
negotiate a loan of $100, with which
he desired to swing a business deal.
Wada declined to accommodate him
and Kkeda threatened him with all
manner of ills, among which were such
• lilies as raiding the hiding place
where he kept his "poke" and setting
fire to his domicile while Wada slept.
Wada alleges that the importunties of
his fellow subject of the mikado were
renewed on a later occasion, as were
also the threats. On Saturday morn
ing last, according to Wada, Kkeda, •
appeared at his (Wada's) cabin and
renewed his demands for money. An
altercation ensued, which finally re
sulted in Wada seizing an ax and in
flicting an ugly flesh wound in Rkeda’s
side. Wada claimed that the latter
attempted to assault him with a knife,
and he used the ax in self defense.
The victim of the cutting was im
mediately removed to the Crosby
Baths, and Dr. Auringer was sum
moned. The latter found that the
wound was not of a serious nature,
and the patient is able to be around
again.
Rkeda’s story was to the effect that
he called on Wada for the purpose of
effecting a reconcilntIon, and he blam
ed the latter for the commencement of
hostilities.

says that according to reports of men
who have been employed on the con
struction of the lighthouse at'Pupc St.
Ellas, the appropriation for that pur
pose has been exhausted and the
work has been stopped. No further
work can be done on the lighthouse,
it is said, until another .appropriation

which was supposed to have been
completed this fall, will not be finish- ,
ed until next summer.
The St. Elias light, as planned, will '
be one of the most powerful lights j
on (he coast anil also it is one of the j
most necessary aids to navigation, and
the lack of this light will be. felt by j
mariners if the reports of work having
been stopped arc true.
