NOME, ALASKA, SEPT. 28, 1915.
in insisting that austriu snail def
initely recall Minister Dumba liie gov
ernment is not only delivering a wel
deserved rebuke to that government foi
permitting, not to say encouraging, iu1
representative in bis attempts to pro
duce a discordant situation in thiscoun-'
try but is also letting that worthy down
pretty light considering the naluer ol
his offense. It is recalled that not
many years ago a certain representa
tive of one of the leading powers war
pre-emptorily ordered home on the rep
resentation of the United States that
he had been guilty of no worse a breach
of diplomatic decorum than to offei
some unsolicited, and and not altogeth
er undeserved, criticism of certain
governmental acts. This man's offense
had been nothing worse than talking a
trifle too much while Dumba has been
guilty of one of the most flagrant vio
lations of privilege in that he has de
liberately attempted to interfere, not
only with the internationally acknowl
edged rights of the country’, but was
also attempting to bring about condi
tions which were a direct menace tc
its peace and well being. Seeking tc
induce general discord in the industria
life of the nation is little short of pro
moting rebellion.
In the present condition of industrial
unrest a strike of any proportions of
fers not only a prospect of great trou
ble but is also a potential menace tc
the very existence of the nation as a
multiplication thereof may’ ultimately
lead to conditions almost as serious as
war. Thus in attempting to incite
strikes Dumba was doing nothing less
than seeking to bring about conditions
which were a menace to the industria
life of the nation and which also, in a
degree, threatened its very existence.
Riot, murder and a vast destruction
of property might easily follow
activities of the nature of those ol
which the Austrian representative has
been accused. By his machinations he
could easily have started a state oi
industrial discord which would shake
the nation to its foundations and re

suited in a worse horror than that will) j
which his own unhappy country is af- i
liicted. His acts were in every degree I
a blow at the existence of the union
in view of the gravity of this offense
it is a matter for some wonder that he
was not handed his passports and sum
marly ordered out of the United
states. This was very near the fate
of- the foreign gentleman referred tc
who did no more than indiscreetly al
low his opinions to roam beyond the
bounds of discretion and Just why the
present administration was content tc
informally ask for the offenders with
drawal In the present case cannot bt
altogether accounted for. Under sev
eral administrations which nearly al
f us can remember Mr. Dumba would
undoubtedly have been handed his hat
r.nd laconically told to "git" Just as
fast as his diplomatic legs would car
ry him. This, however, Is not the |
method of kid glove diplomacy and as
a consequence we are called upon tc
witness the spectacle of the govern
ment adopting an attitude comparable
only to that of the famous Alphonse
and Oaston and to look on with equan
imity while somebody tells so and sc
n go and see so and so and tell him
on the quiet that we don't like this man
Dumba, and "won’t you please tell him
to come home." Mr. Dumba has been
recalled, according to the recent an
nouncement, after some more of Aus
tria’s gymnastic jugglery In an attempt
to avoid the Issue and we should si
course be satisfied that the matter Is
over and done with, but one cannot but
be impressed with the view that a plan
toon of police and the shortest route
to the oceanic steamship docks woulc
have been merited and would also have

HUMANE SOLDIERY.
i _
’ Through a large proportion of the
people of earth have relapsed to the
savagery of war, there is still encour
agement for the belief that centuries
of civilization have modified man’s
] animal characteristics and endowed
| him with permanent attributes of a
higher order. Miss Jane Addams, a
member of the women's peace commis
sion. but lately returned from visiting
the war nations, brings some evidence
lot' this In the expressed distaste of the
I soldiery to the taking of human life.
I A young German soldier, recovering
I’rom his wounds in the hospital, told
Miss Addams that In three and one-hall
months of trench life he had not once
shot his rifle in a way that could possi
bly kill a man. Nothing in the world
said he, could possibly induce him to
'till another man.
"And my brother is the same," said
chis young soldier. "He never shoots
in a way to kill, and I know dozens and
dozens of soldiers who do not.”
And there Is testimony from the
renches of the allies to the same ef
fect.
"I am quite sure," writes Miss Ad
dams. “that there are many soldiers
who are doing violence to the highest
teaching they know. In ten or twenty
i ,-ears war will he impossible because
• of the tremendous revolt against It in
■ the schools and universities.”
The brutalities of war offend the en
; lightened spirit. Many, of course, feel
; that they are fighting from the high
est patriotic motives, but the world
has progressed too far to make war a
permanent measure for the adjustment
I of international differences. The old
elements of human understanding and
human kindness must, In the end, make I
such contents as the present impossi
ble.—P. T.
PACIFYING MEXICO.
It is a cumbersome plan that Presi
dent Wilson has inaugurated in calling
the South American republics into con
ference In the settlement of Mexico’s
difficulties. Our own relations with
Mexico are so intimate nnd those of the
South American countries so detached
that there is little of common Interest
In the subject matter. As a means of
Impressing our South American neigh
bors with our unselfish purposes, joint
measures for Mexico's relief may bring
somo compensation.

.neiit eitperimeul station in Alaska I
and has just been renewed. Tile gov
ernment believes, as i'rof. Georgenaon
i.as recommended, that the cross be
tween a yak and a Galloway woulu
produce an animal hardy enough tc j
withstand the rigors of the coldes |
weather in Alaska, and would becuint

country.
V ALDEZ.—A crew of men, to be ad- |
ded to the present force at work on I
tlie Cliff mine, were sent to the pro- |
perty by H. E. Ellis, who will work the
claims to capacity. The big mill ha;
been running for several weeks and it
is noted that several large bricks have
been taken out. The lead uncovered
some time ago will be stripped and
tunnels driven so that the rich ore can
be taken out and run through the
mill.
While the mines at Juneau are mak
ing preparations for an output that
will exceed the entire gold output ot
any state in the Union, the showing
for the future copper output is fully as
good. While the Alaska-Gastineau at
Juneau has Just completed the first
unit of Its plant with a capacity ol
6,000 tons per day. to be increased very
shortly to 12,000, and the Alaska-Ju
neau is putting the final touches on
Its 6,000-ton plant, with the Treadwell
capacity at 5,000 tons daily, the United
States Smelting, Refining & Mining
Co., which has purchased the old Ebner
properties, some of the most valuable
in this section, and which has already
expended a vast amount of money in
development work, the Julian Alaska
Mines Co. putting in a 1,000-ton capa
city plant, the Kensington Mining Co.
the Alaska Gold Ilelt Mining Co., which I
has set aside a quarter of a million for
preliminary work, and several others
all of which are put in abnormally large
plants, it would seem that Alaska was
coming to the front sufficiently fast
but now comes the report that the pro
. . _ui-- - -■»_-■»«--’
duction of copper In Alnska will be
more than doubled during 1915, with
development in the big copper pro
ducers of the Copper River district
hardly under way. In addition to this
the Kennicott Copper Co., throught its
presldent, Stephen A. Birch, announces
that it has not only tile richest coppet
deposit in the world, but that it is
making copper at a cost of 3.65 cents
the lowest record yet reached. This
only accounts for two widely separated
sections in Alaska, while In between
and on all sides areas where there are
hundreds of mines, many of which are
steady shippers and are paying regulai
dividends, while many of the others are
fast being brought to that desirable
stage. Juneau at present la producing
*8.000.000 In gold yearly, and with the
completion of plants now under way
will produce $17,000,000 at agcost ol
approximately $7,500,000.—Alaska and

CUTTING DOWN THE MENUS.
tohio State Journal.)
The Berlin government has Issued a
decree regulating the menus at res
turants. It became effective at once
and Is as follows;
1. Table de'Hote meals are abolished;
in the future only special orders wil
be filled.
2. The larger use of vegetables and
restricted use of meat must be en
couraged.
2. Bess roast meat and more boiled
meat must be offered.
4. The use of fat must be decreas
ed.
The use of potatoes must be lim
ited to the lowest degrees possible;
only boiled and fried potatoes may be
served.
These are sweeping commands, and
will not only serve in protecting the
national resources, but It will accom
llsh much in the way of health. This
is a movement In behalf of economj
md hygiene. Table d’hote meals ar
wasteful. More vegetables and less meal
increases the strength of the people
More boiled meat and less roast cuts
down the expenses Only boiled and
fried potatoes are to constitute the po
tato foods. When It becomes necessary
t'i adopt these rules 1n a family the
burden will be light and housekeeping
will be easier.
