GERMAN VIEWPOINT
(By L. Seybold in Leslie’s.)
Germany’s plea in extenuation of
her submarine campaign against j
merchant ships has been, from the
beginning, that of necessity. Alleg
ing that the British blockade of
German ports was not legal be
cause not complete and not enforc
ed by naval strength in immediate
proximity to the ports blockaded,
the submarine warfare has been
held to be retaliatory.* Germany al
so pleads that the introduction of
the submarine into warfare has so
changed conditions that the old
rules, calling for visit and search
before the capture or destruction of
an enemy merchant vessel or a
blockade runner, can no longer be
observed. The submarine is ob
viously incapable, of capturing ves
sels and sending them into port In
charge of prize crews; but it is an
effective weapon and cannot be dis
carded because it conflicts with
rules made before it was dreamed
of.
From the beginning of the long
drawn dispute with the United
States about submarine warfare,
Germany has protested that if
Great Britain could be compelled to
drop her alleged illegal blockade
of German ports and abandon Jior
campaign of “starvation” Germany
would cease to use submarines in
ways to which the United .Staves
I objects. Germany is strong on
i land but weak on the sea. The sup
; eriority of the British navy has
! made it impossible for the German
navy, so far, to enter into a general
engagement with any prospect of
success. German supremacy in the
Baltic, however, has prevented any
enforcement of a blockade on be
half of the Allies in those w’aters
This * has left, the Scandinavian
countries free to traffic with Ger
many and has led Britain to make
an application of the theory of
“continuous voyage” which many
neutral authorities believe to be too
far-reaching to be legal- Under it
shipments of contraband to neutral
countries that have uninterrupted
trade facilities with Qermany are
held up and confiscated. Germany
beng powerless to stop this—which
she very naturally considers an
outrage — retaliates by destroying
British ships wherever found and
neutral ships carrying food and
supplies to England.
It has been repeatedly pointed
out that Germany can scarcely be
expected to relinquish her only ef
fective weapon at sea. If she is
compelled to stop her submarine
campaign against the Allies, or if
she does it as a concession to the
United States, she will be in the
position of seeing the seas of the
world, with the exception of the
Baltic, swept by the navies of her
enemies and bearing their commerce
unhindered. This w’ould be most
humilating t<j a proud nation that
mastery’ of the sea with the British.
Undoubtedly illegal things have
been done by both sides in this
W’ar, particularly with reference to '
the rights of neutrals- It is Ger
many's misfortune that circum
stances have compelled her to those :
illegalities that have excited the 1
most resentment in the minds of 1
neutrals- Great Britain and France *
with the upper hand on the sea and
with plenty of ports into which 1
Prizes can be taken and refuge found 1
for warships confronted with super- ]
ior force, can carry’ on war more 1
nearly in accordance with interna- *
tional usage, by capturing shipping
and protecting the lives of seamen *
and passengers. Germany, with her
ports sealed, must shoot her bolts
in the dark, so to speak, and with
disregard of consequences, so long 1
as the great objective of war is at- 1
tained—the infliction of damage up
on the adversary. ^
NEW AND “LADYLIKE”
WAY TO KILL FOWLS
A new and "lady-like” way to
kill fowls has been devised by
which the free flowing and spatter
ing of a chicken’s blood after lane- 1
ing is prevented and the unpleasant
ness of viewing the whole sanguin
ary affair is removed
What to the squeamish is the
most distressing feature of the
poultry business—killing fowls by
hand—is eliminated by a machine
which does the work with accuracy
and with a delicacy that must ap
peal to the aesthetic
The fowl is considerately sus
pended by the legs from yoke-like
leg clamps, with its body and head
within a tublar casing. In the low
er portion of this casing is a dairtty
head-holder with a ring, in which
the bill is inserted. A V-shaped
collar is pushed in place over the
front portion of the neck of the
fowl- The door to the casing is
then decently closed.
Next a lever extending from tho
casing is boldly operated, causing
a knife or lance to be driven
through the brain of the fowl, and
a blow from the pendulum-like
hammer is immediately' delivered
at the bac}c of the head- The blood
ia caught in a small pan placed
below the head, so that not even
the machine is soiled
IF PROHIBITION
WOULD PROHIBIT
rT WOULD FURNISH A GOOD
REASON FOR ADOPTION.
During the month of March, 1916,
the following “officially admitted"
shipments were made into the State
of Washington—the same State, by
the way, which the Anti-Saloon Lea
gue shouters were boosting so strong
as a model in their February news
papers and monthly magazines
Beer, 33,312 quarts; whisky, 6,309
quarts; rum, 28 quarts; brandy 139
quarts; Vermouth, 13 quarts, and
wines,233 quarts. According to the
Seattle Star of April 4, 1916, there
was quite a lot of “unofficially ad
mitted” liquors, for the Star says:
Hundreds of gallons of liquor have
been destroyed by the police as fast
as its owners were convicted.”
That item refers to Seattle only.
The amount of contiaband goods lo
cated and destroyed by the State of
ficials is not mentioned, but it must
aggregate a good-sized “flood.” We
are just obsessed with an idea, and
must give it expression: We wond
er, that is to say, we are anxious to
know, how many of the 168,233 vot
ers who wanted Washington dry, and
who voted that way on November 3,
1914, have put up their little two
bits apiece every twenty days for a
permit to stock up with wet goods?
If the reader has a penchant for |
figures, he can calculate the amount i
of good, hard cash sent out of Wash
ington to near-by States for wet
stuff. While calculating the cost of
the goods, don’t overlook expresage,
postage and time consumed in pre
paring to order wet goods from other
States.

STRIKE IS REPORTED
ON GOOD PASTER RIVER
(News-Miner, May 3)
In a letter from E. E. James, the
commissioner at Richardaon, which '
,vas received in Fairbanks yesterday .
some good news is received, in that 1
ie tells of a strike that has been ’
nade on a tributary of the south
'ork of the Good Paster river. The ]
strike was made by L. J. Johnson. '
Valter Johnson and Frank Solly, on '
Michigan creek, a tributary of the ]
3ood Paster. How much the ground •
vill go to the foot is not known, but
n the letter from Mr. James it was ]
itated that the prospectors panned '
510 out of one hole.
Tfy; ground on Michigan creek is <
inly from 10 to 20 feet deep, and in -
he greater part of it it will not go
>ver 12 feet, so that it would be an .
ixcellent opencut proposition, even
f the ground was not rich. (
That the gold is coarse is evident,
is several good nuggets are report
'd to have been found the largest
me of which was worth about seven
y-two cents.
Michigan creek is a tributaiy of
he Good Paster and about one day’s |
ravel from W. H. Newton’s trading
iver, according to the statements
nade by the men to the Richardson
ommissioner. The ground is in the
banana recording precinct, so that
I aims staked would be recorded at
tichardson. |
