is as plain as a pike-stan to the

does not intend to keep her prom
ises with regard to respecting the
rights ot neutrals. She has been
given plenty ot oppoitumties to
show her good intentions in the
sucinanne matter but, beyond a
tempo, a* y acatement or the
much complained of policy of
sinking everything on sight, she
has in no sense Kept taicn wun

until her good natured and pa

proceeded to knock otf a few
more neutrals when no one was
looking, knowing full well that
her only punishment will be an
other one of the interminable Am

What Germany needs is a little
forcible argument in the shape of
powder and shot but as we are
utterly incapable of dealing with
her in this way we must content
ourselves with blustering a bit
about the rights of humanity and
let it go at that while the Berlin
diplomats quietly laugh up their
sleeves at our softness in placing
dependence on the word of any
one in war time. Germany has
already told the world by means
of the “scrap of paper” incident
just what her attitude is with re
spect to agreements that are no
longer agreeable with her desires,
so it is difficult to understand how
it is that the administration ex
pects her to adhere to her prom

the crux of the matter is that
Germany does not fear 4he Uni
icd States in the least degree and
can, in extreme eventuality, open
ly laugh at the piffle concerning
humanity” and “neutral rights”
with which she is deluged by the
administration. She , naturally,
does not care to have the United
States her open and avowed
enemy as long as it is not neces
sary and, as a consequence, she
is willing to practice any little
deceit which will serve to placate
ihis government and tide over
undesirable situations. She knows
full well that when this no longer
serves the purpose she can tell
lie United States to go to blazes
with perfect impunity.

COMPLETE STORY OF
9TH, SWEEPSTAKES
DOG RAGE
N ______
(Continued from Pane 3.)
was within sight of the finish.
Scarcely had the news been post
ed before the eager crowd were
hurrying to the east anxious to
catch tlie first sight of the new
hero of the northern trail. Slow
ly the minutes passed to the wait
ing throng along the road and
crowded in solid ranks before the
grand stand. Ten, twenty minutes
passed and then loud and hoarse
rang the first welcome from the
lighting station announcing in
tones that reverberated from tlv
hills that a new king was coming
to receive his crown.
Four minutes later accompan
ied by a running shouting, crowd
of excited humanity and with
countless welcomings arising, hi
crossed the line—winner by hours
over his nearest opponent, Del
zone. Every dog was in harness
and with tails erect they received
the plaudits of the crowd and the
endearments of the fair sex as
proudly as the hero receives the
adulation of his followers. Foil
hundred miles had passed be
tween their flying feet, the frost
had bit and the blizzard stung
their hours of rest had been scan,
and the miles had been each out
longer than the other, but as they
stood among the throng feu
would have guessed that they had
boen farther than Cape Nome
And Seppala, he was tired, ot
course, but there was no sign of
fatigue in his bronzed count?
nance or in the blue Norse eye*
that shone with a glint of pride
as he received the plaudits and
congratulations showered upon
him from every side.
Delzene, winner of second place
arrived at 7:14:55, completing the |
long difficult journey in 82 hours,
14 minutes, 55 seconds. His dogs
were in good shape, with the ex
ception of two which were car
ried in the sled, Delzene run a
noble race and his failure to keep
tip with the leader to whom he
had clung with remarkable ten
acity may be attributed to bad
luck. Almost all the way to
Candle and back to Timber he
was within a few minutes of the
leader but at the latter point the
second dog gave out and he fell
behind rapidly because of the
extra weight. Ayer, who had
led the mushers over a long part
of course, arrived at 9:2i, 84 hours
21 minutes, 4 seconds out
of Nome. He too had run into
hard luck and was compelled to
labor under the burden of an in
jured dog which was carried;
the major portion of the
entire distance to Candle and re
Roth Delzene and Ayer
wire welcomed by the crowd with
a zest equal to that accorded to
the v. ^ner for all recognized that
they were heroes too, although
they did not win. Kjegsted, the
giant Norseman, failed to finish
and only reached Council about
the time that Seppala was remov
ing the stains of travel after the
finish. He too is said to have had
very bad luck and was forced to
bear the brunt of the big stbrm
near Candle.
hollowing is the average speed
maintained by each of the winners
for the entire journey during the
hours of travel:
Seppala ....7.292 miles per hour
Delzene-7.953 miles per hour
Ayer .7-628 miles per hour
According to the records of the
Kennel Club, the time made by
both Seppala and Delzene on the
’return journey from Council is
well inside of the best previous
record. The time consumed by
Seppala was 34 hours, 58 minutes
05 seconds. Delzene's time for the
distance was 35 hours, 07 minute*
55 seconds.
