n il*e horizon of posaloliiLea. Ac
cording to lue accounts, Austria la
oltended at tue tune ol u.e communi
aliou rallier man the Intent ol the
mier loan demands. in otner wuru»
me hr ua<jue lone of the American note
aeenis to hate Injured tne Austrian
sensibilities to the degree that me,
aie ready to cast aside ail considers
Lone of policy and turn their dipio-j
matte back to ua by way of punishment
tor our effrontery.
All this Is very regrettable, of)
course, as quarrel* alwaya are. but gtj
the same time It must be conceded that
our demands are founded In Justice
and are In accordance with Interna
Mortal rule and custom.
Austria ha* been the first offender
through murdering several of our cit
izens and seriously Jeopardizing the
aufety of a number of others, bhe has
offered neither excuse or apology for
this action and has seemingly accepted
the whole affair as a matter which
concerned no one hut herself and Italy
who naturally has no ground for com- j
plaint as to her the destruction of the
Ancona Is simply an Incident of war
Further, the crime, for It Is nothing
less, was committed under clrcum
i lances of the most shameless order
; nd was distinguished by the utmost
brutality and inhumanity. Also It
may be mentioned that It was com
mitted in defiance of an International
agreement that has never been violat
ed since Its promulgation save by
Austria and her Get man ally. Austria
has little excuse for her action aside
from Mie fact that the Ancona belong
ed to an enemy nation—which Is hard
ly sufficient to exonerate her from
blame In the eyes of those who cling (
to the belief that wanton destruction |
t human life Is Impossible of Justlfi
r ttlon. liy every prlnclplj of right
and Justice the United Htates has am
ple cause for grievance and Is pursu
ing & course of action entirely Justified
by the clrcurnstunceH. Austria appar
ently loses Hight of the undeniable Jus
tice of the American demands, e 'en In
the fine of the fact that her ally, Ger
many, has repudiated and forsworn ac
tions of like character.
The United Bibtes huq given / i.s
trla plenty of time to make voluntary
amends If It was her desire to do
so hut so far she has made not the
slightest reference to the matter
through her diplomatic representatives
or by any other means. This Indicates
more than all else that she has little
or no compunction over her action and
neither Justice now compassion call*
for an atonement for the unwarranted
killing of a hundred or more Inoffen
sive human beings. In this she is dis
playing an even more reprehensible
spirit thin Germany, who despite her
many isn't., v*aa not so utterly devoid
of proper s silt as to maintain a com

which unquestionably demanded ex

At Seward last month the cemeter. *
"ad was found closed and all lh
mads tones of the graves had "No

Lhem.
The trouble grew out of the fact that
tv E. Kudolph had written to his agent.1
/. J. Cambell, that he would not sell:
my more lots In the cemetery on
.he Kudolph homestead for burial pur- I
yokes.
The Evening Host says the question
jf maintaining a road to the cemetery
was brought up In the council by
Councilman Chovln, and the city at
otriey w;n asked to notify Kudolph to
keep the road open or the council
aould have It opened and charge the
liill to the property.
Strong pressure Is being brought up
on Judge O. K. Bunnell to become the
lemocratlc candidate for delegate to
congress from Alaska at the Novem
ber election In 1S1C His supporters ,
say that he Is the most popular man i
n the Fourth division and would have ,
vi difficulty in carrying it. During
he short time that Judge Bunnell has
jceupled the bench he has won th*
cap. < t and confidence of the people
tenerally, not only In the Fairbanks
.•alley but also at Idltarod and Ruby,
where he has also held court.
