NOME, ALASKA, DEC. 18. 1915
IM Austrian nolo has been received
and, as uas probably to be expected,
nas been found a deliberate evasion
. f U,o American demands and in every
■■ctfit'u unsatisfactory.
mo uumana lor a bill of particulars
regaruing the American contention,
iv.-ich jormed the substance of the
tie is apparently a most outstanding
muicaucn ol a ucsire to avoid a direct

, . ouuoty does aot intend to mulct
amende i.u her infraction of internu*
, .unai rule unless driven to the enu
hi a r uuunuant resource# in the lin*
i a ...ui-iiic subterfuge,
it s matter of historical record
i... i Austria has been known for cen
times as the most unreliable of the
i l ean nations and, by duplicity and
ui. .e dealing with her neighbors, has
achieved a blacker record than any
other national entity at present exist-!
ent.
i ne records of the years disclose ^
hut her ways have been those of the j
i .ckster, and lying and evasion have 1
marked her dealings with others at
i ucucaliy every stage of her national
Kkupment. Animrtod by an over
. ueiming desire to rule, ruthless dls- i
regard for the rights of others has j
been the very keynote of her existence 1
nd growth and the greater portion of .
i- present domain has been acquired. '
methods which cannot be classed
either Just or righteous
i his is not an opinion; It la the ver- ,
• i of time, drawn from a history that ]
• ■ eke with the blood of Innocent pen- '
iihd the slime of lying and deceit.
With a nation of this character to
ueal with it is hardly to he expected
..it an immediate adjustment of the
ing differences could be achieved
the ciiiceo oiuies, ragardiess of <
:..e justice ot the American cause.
Austria has never boon knowu to con

in the present controversy she will II

crus an almost hopeless task, es- ID

kuowledged the Justice of the Am- £
i rich contentions in cases of an identl- IJ|

in the view of America, the action q
Germany, in renouncing such prac- 'H
i as form tho basis ot the present II

ci national rule—a precedent which 1
itc cep ted as a law governing In- B
rnatlonal relations and may, there
not be bold In light regard. Aus- H
1 i may not be inclined to accept the II
tlon of her ally as binding on her- fl
self, but in the eyes of the world she II
is morally bound by that action and II
can expect no consideration for her)
attempts to avoid the consequence of;
ner lllconsldered and shameful acts.
IN THE HALL OF FAME.
_
t Seat tie P.-I.) ..!
The ninety-seven men or less dis-j,
anguisned gentlemen who ar« etiarged
with the duty of selecting me names!
Kjt the men ahd Women who are to he!
•inuaUned In the So call eo American
iiall of rarne' have completed their
voting for this >ear selecting thlJ
. ime seven names.
There were originally xoo nominated
.c-r election this year. Of these but
.. jventeen survived the elimination
round last June. Only seven of the
seventeen commanded in lh« last bai
jt tue votes noceasary to glee them
,ue recognition.
The voting thus tar ia more remark
me for the failure of certain historic^
characters to command the necessary
majority than for the ones who were
jo honored. Those chosen this year
were Mark Hopkins college president;
crancls Rarkman. historian; Ellas
Howe, Inventor of the sewing ma
rine; Joseph Henry, pioneer in elec
trical science. Charlotte Cushman,
m tress; Rufus Choate, JuriBt, and
i'aniel lioone, pioneer.
John Raul Jones, the naval hero,
failed of election this time, as he did
on the four previous ballots taken for
places In the hall of fame. Patrick
Henry was another American who was
not considered by these electors to be
worthy a place.
With full appreciation of the un
doubtedly high motives which actuat
es these distinguished gentlemen in
carefully reviewing all of the facts
uf history and in scrutinizing with
painstaking care every record con
cerning those whose admirers seek to
nave their names "Immortalized." the>
are likely to come into somewhat more
criticism for their rejections than
praise for some of the selections
vvhlch they have made. The everyday
.nan must go to a biographical dic
tionary to learn anything about some
jf those whose names are from year
to year perpetuated in the hall of
fame
