KETCHIKAN, ALASKA, NOVEMBER 5, 1915.
THE CONSEQUENCE
Germany has some rights which must be respected.
Likewise other nations have rights which should not be
forgotten, anymore by Germany than by other nations
But if the German government does not quit trying
to embarrass the United States; if it does not stop
infesting this country with spies; if it does not take
steps to prevent bomb explosions on ships leaving our
ports and the wrecking of our factories by strikes or
otherwise; if its officers and men of interned war ves
sels do not observe their promise, and desert; if it
does not fully keep the agreement that was entered
into at the close of the dispute over the torpedoing
of American ships and the killing of Americans on
passenger vessels, or the execution of women and
horrify the whole civilized world; if the German gov
ernment does not put a stop to all that, it may find
itself as much hated in the United States as Mexico
is in Arizona or in Texas—and that is saying a whole
lot.

WHAT THE WAR HAS DONE FOR US
I
If it wasn’t for the suffering imposed upon the
millions involved in the war, we would be almost
tempted to wish it would last another year. From a
purely selfish standpoint, the war has been a great
boon to Alaska. Everybody is talking about it. Every
newspaper throughout the states is writing about it,
and last but not least, everjbody has returned home
safe, not because, however, our government took good
care to blaze the trails over which visitors traveled,
but because of Providence.
The danger and inconvenience to which the pleas
ure seeking travelers would have been exposed this
year had they followed their usual route of travel,
compelled them to come to Alaska to satisfy their
passion, and from all accounts they are all well pleas
ed, and feel amply repaid. Thus we can see how the
war has benefited us, and from the extensive adver
tisement Alaska is receiving, it will naturally follow
that more visitors will come from year to year, which
is all that Alaska needs—advertisement. From that
we conclude that primarily, we owe the country's
present prosperity and largo advertising to the war,
hence the wish that it will continue, provided nobody
is hurt thereby.

WAS HE TYPICAL SPY?
(From the Post-Intelligencer)
Perhaps the secret service of the United States
itself has no adequate idea of the extent to which
this county has been overrun by men of the type of
Franz Rintein, recently convicted as a spy and shot
in London. Before he was caught and convicted he
had resided for nine years in the United States, and at
the'time of his death he was under indictment in the
city of New York for complicity in the forging of
American passports.
He came to NewYork ostensibly on a mission to
study American banking conditions, and with most
acceptable credentials. Subsequently he visited Mexi
co and South American states.
When he was put under survillance after the out
break of the war, it was discovered that lie liacl oper
ated in different parts of the United States under six
German names, as a German secret agent. He
held conferences with Huerta prior to the latter’s
visit to the border which resulted in his im
prisonment on the charge of conspiracy against the
neutrality laws of the United States.
When he learned, through some secret channels, of
his pending indictment for frauds on American pass
ports, he took passage to England as a Swiss, using
the name Edward V. Gasclie. He was captured, con
victed and suffered death as a spy.
While in this country he had access to the best
social and business circles. He had membership in
prominent New York clubs and his credentials were
unimpeachable.
Somewhat disquieting, all this, is there not?

HALF AWAKE
The human individual lives usually far within his
limits. He possesses powers of various sorts which
he habitually fails to use. He energizes below his
maximum and he behaves below his optimum. . . Com
pareed with what we ought to be, we are only half
awake. Our fires are dampened, our drafts are check
ed. We are making use of only a small part of our
possible mental and physical resources.—Prof William
James.
-+ + +
Brotherly love should be without distinction, with
out calculation and without hesitation. It should be
spread upon the poor, where it is very easy. It
should be lavished specially upon the rich who often
need it most; and last but not least upon our equals,
where it is repugnant and for whom perhaps we do
least of all.
