EVIDELTNY AMERICAN NOTE
MET WITH DECIDED COLD
RECEPTION
LONDON, Nov. 12—The London
newspapers are quite free in theii
expressions in criticising the Ameri
can note on the subject of block
ading neutral ports.
Quoting the American arguments
the Daily Mail says:
“Our case—it is a very strong one
—is that the orders in council were
in reply to Germany’s repudition of
all international law. The power
which will wickedly torpedo neutral
ships and ships with neutral pas
sengers and which sowed the seas
with mines, showed complete indif
ference for those neutral rights
for which the United States declares
itself the unhesitating champion
We waited for neutrals to act and
as they did not act we acted our
selves in the interest of humanity.
Hie doctrines which we applied are
in essence, those laid down by the
United States courts in the Civil
war.”
Justifying the British procedure
jf searching suspected vessels, and
referring to the complaint that no
redress is obtainable, the Times
vav-s:
“Did we not suffer grievously
from those and kindred injuries ir
the Civil war? Do Americans for
get how they practically wijj^d ou‘
the whole industry of ^^ncaschire'
vnd plunged its population into dire
distress? Did we complain? Di
the victims themselves complain ?
No. Their sufferings were acute, but
they believed the north was fight
ing in the cause of human liberty
and moral right, and therefore they
Were patient.
"Some reciprocity it may seem to
Americans as well as to us mighv
be expected from Washington in the
day of our trial.
Another point we cannot pass
over is the extravagant character
of the language of the note. We
make allowances, however, for the
Americtn domestic politics, and
attribute to them the choice cf
adjectives and a turn of expression
not usually found in informal in
tercourse between the governments
of great peoples.”
The Daily Mail remarks on the
fact that the note is couched in vig
erous uncompromising, language,
paralleled in the American notes to
Germany, but hitherto foreign to
the communications passed between
London and Washington, ar.d admits
that no mistake could be graver than
to onder-esimate the seriousness of
the contents advanced by the United
States.
The Times says i' imagines that
American iurists anc diplomatists
will feel that the note is not alto
gether worthy the better traditions,
since it raises a*numbe- of technical
points of disputed international law.
but nowhere raises the broad view
of the larger issuer u.vc.ved in t .e
svoldr war or indicates the states
men’s abil'tv to adapt cd princ pie*
to novel roeditic's.
"The A merit vi note upon our in
terference wit j the neutr 1 trade.-’
says the Pall Mall Gazette, “will
be read with some surprise in this
country. Willi's' the duty o every
power to Kfee,j vigilant watch over
the interests of its own commerce
will be freely reognized, it must be
felt that the United States •'.live
ly grapples with the realities of the
situation "mated in the frst place
by the fact of war, and in the second
by the crimmai:ty of German prac
tices. -y v,
"In some paassages the nor:
seems to involko ;h» authorit/ cf
international law, -is [' rts problems
could be finally se:t?u for one bel
ligerent without reference to *he do
ings of the other. That is a view
utterly inapplicable in the world of
things as they are. It is impossible
to deal with questions arising be
tween the allies and the United
States while ignoring the practices
of Admiral von Tirpitz and the
changes in policy'which they enforc
ed upon ourselves and our friends.”
ANTI-HYPHEN SOCIETY -
IS FORMED
NEW YORK, Nov. 12—Articles of
incorporation for the American
Society, described as a ‘Tederation
for National Unity,” have been for
warded to the Secretary of State at
Albany.
Among the directors are Gifford
Pinchot of Milford, Pa., Jacob M.
Dickerson of Chicago, Jobe E.
Hedges of New York, Loomis C.
C. Johnson of St. Louis and Robert
M. Thompson of Washington, D. C.
The specific purposes of the soc
iety are to foster Americanism,
unite men and organizations now
working to spread an understanding
of American language, laws and in
stitutions, bringing about a
mutal understanding between
aliens and citizens of this
country and faster single-handed
loyalty to the United States '
The main office of the society
will be in New York. Women will
be admitted to membership.
THE JITNEY RACE
Despite the stormy weather last
night, the jitney races at the Rink
drew out a good crowd, -who had a
lot of fun out of them. There were
three races of five laps each, all
hotly contested. Nine entries in all.
Kingdom Brice won the first
place in the first race with Jim
Josgrove in second place.
The second Rice was won by Don
ald Brindle, with Victor Mather sec
ond.
The third was taken by Gene Brice
Walter Cross second.
Alvema Caughrean, tnree years
>ld, was the youngest contestant,
tnd furnished a lot of amusement
'or the spectators.
DO SHIPS SINK TO BOTTOM
OF THE SEAS
The question of whether or not a
modem steel ship which capsize in
midocean will sink to the bottom
has been discussed at considerable
'ength in the past few months.
Many argue that since the water
if the ocean at great depths is
mder enormous pressure there must
-e a point somewhere between the
surface and the bottom where it
is so highly compressed as to sup
port steel so that the wreck vessel
will remain suspended there.
At the bottom of the ocean, at
the point of greatest depth is a
!itt!e over six miles, the density of
the water, owing to the pressure, is
only about one twentieth greater
‘han at the surface. Only two sub
stances so far investigated scien
ificallv have been found less..com
pressible than water; these are
glycerine and mercury. Steel is
"■ompressed over 50 per cent more
'han water at the same pressure,
’i'crni this it is clear that as steel
'escends in the water it is com
pressed half ^bs much again as the
vater at the same depth, so that at
to point would the density the
water be as great as that of the
eel; therefore there is no point
vhere steel would be suspended
’hove the bottom, even if the steel
vas dropped into a pit of the ocean
"eaching to the center of the earth.
It is believed that no modem ves
e! has compartments containing
air which are sufficiently rigid to
withstand the pressure of the water
a hundred feet or more be Tow the
surface, so that the buoyant effect
teed not be considered.
In considering this question notice
is taken of the fact that the pres
of the water is evened in all
directions. That is, a body immers
ed in water sustains a pressure
tending to draw it downward with
a force practically equal to that
tending to prevent its further sink
ing, just as in the air, bodies sus
tain the same pressure on all sides.
From these facts many conclude
that any objects that sinks at the
surface will sink to the bottom of
of the ocean.

PERSONAL MENTION !
TRACKV JAMES RESIGNS
|
For the past ten years in charge
of the Hardware Department of J.
it Heckman & Co., Tracey James
has decided to sever his connection
with them December 1st. Shortly
after that date he will remove with ■
his family to the States to reside, j
His plans for the future are as yet j
undeveloped, further than that they .
will spend a little time visiting a- j
round before Tracey settles down j
for another ten year's of the eter
nal grind. Then it is probable that
he will engage in 'ftisiness for him
self.
During their long residence in
Ketchikan the entire family have
endeared themselves to a larg circle
of friends, andthey will be greatly
missed in both business and social
circles. Wherever they may de
cide to loca'e. they will carry with .
them the esteem and undivided best
fashes of the entire community.

It takes Christ Hoover a long
time to kill a duck. He has been
gone now nearly three weeks look
ing for that doggone duck, and
gopdness knows how much longer
it will take him to find it. Of
coures, he may have come close to
one by this time, but if the duck
refused to keep still and allow
Christ to take a good aim, the
chances are that he may be gone
ail winter. But that will never do
as his absence is sadly missed.
