NOME, ALASKA, MARCH 6. 1917
Bulgaria is reported as about to
break oft diplomatic relations with
the United States. There are some
things that sound big and amount to
very little and this seems to be one
o' them. There are other things that
sound little and may be very' import
ant. Such is the possible break be
tween Holland and Germany. The
Dutch have been preparing for war
lor two and a half years and they
would be a veritable thorn in the side
of Germany first because of the loss
of one source of food and again be
cause the Dutch are capable of show
ing a strong defence, if not a wicked
offense.
On the supposition that the deci
sion of the canvassing board to Issue
a certificate of election to Air. Wick
ersham is not sustained after a long
scries of court hearings, and after
months of delay Mr. Sulzer is declar
ed elected and the Utica and Bristol
Bay precinct returns are thrown out,
what will become of the standing of
Messrs. Corrigan and Murray as
members of the legislature? If Utica
is thrown out, then Air. Corrigan will
have been improperly declared elect
ed tinless other precincts too are
thrown out whose vote is such that
the present balance will be maintain
ed. If he is not properly elected and
other members of the legislature
should prove to be In the 3ame fix, will
the acts of the coming legislature be
valid? Supposing some important
measure should have been approved
by the deciding vote of Corrigan,
would it be a valid act if it should be
thereafter determined that he had
been improperly seated? It would
set m essential that the board be sus
tained in its decision or proved wrong
at once. Incidentally it may be re
marked that politics In Juneau for a
day or two have been seething.
The hotel men of London protested
strongly against the order of the
Board of Trade that dinners should
be limited to three courses and other
meals to two. The bonifaces urged
that a dinner of six courses, hors
d’oeuvres, soup, fish, entree, joint and
vegetables, sweets or cheese, means
smaller portions of each and not so
grpat Inroads on the "joint." If meat
is scare this sounds reasonable for the
argument is that the soup is very
filling although it does not take much
from the national larder for Us con
coction. Soup or the bouillon is often
made of one gallon of water and one
onion. No intelligent rough-neck who
works hard for his living will drink

Yesterday in Hoboken one Richard
Kalb was arested on lie charge of
conspiring to assassinate the presi
dent of the United States, in his
loom was a larg - quantity of explo
sives including some bombs ready for
use. Subsequent to his arrest lie is
said to have confessed his guilt und
offered to give the names of his ac
complices. The ' s} ind thoughtless
thing to say is that Kalb was a Ger
man bi nt on killing the president His
name may, und probably does, indi
cate German ancestry. If he is a
German and tried to blow up Mr.
Wilson the only reasonable deductions
are that he was insane or wanted to
do the worst possible thing that could
be done for Germany. No Genua:
in authority ever ordered or advised
or consented to the plan to kill the
president of the United States. For
.uch an act woul I unite the people of
| this country as one man. Such a
deed would nullifj in a few hours the
laborious and insidious efforts of
German diplomats and agents during
i period of over .wo and u half years.
The German endeavor, and it wars fair
play too, lias been to arouse disaen
tion and disagreement as to the for
eign policy of the United Stales.
Doubtless tiie German hand has reach
ed out to Mexico and directed a
course of action by that miserable
cou.itry best calculated to embarras
the united States. The note relative
to the German-Mexican plot might
w il le interpeted as following up
other successful negotiations by von
Fckhurdt with Mexico. However
that may be, it may be asserted with
every confidence that conspirator Kalb
was not undertaking his murderous
Job at the behe3t, or in the intreests,
of Germany. On he contrary he was
doing all he could against that coun
tiy because if 0111 president had been
assassinated yesterday at the hand of
.4 German and by the orders of Ger
main such a wave of rage would
j luive swept over the country that
nothing could keep us out of war with
that nation and the feeling would have
been so strong that the government
could hardly have resisted the public
demand that not only should oi
j navy he used but that m Immense
j army should at once be raised and
| drilled and equipped as s ion as pos
' ,'ible for work In Europe.

WASHINGTON The American
| bu-sin ss man is urged to cultivate
trade with neutral countries, espec
j iiilly those of South America, and
leave trade withEuropean belligerents
ale no is th.* statement issued by foro
n.er Senator Jonothan Bourne, jr., of
Oregon. Mr. Bourne says that the
present high mark of exports and
! foreign trade generally represents an
j irtiHeal condition and that the pros
; perity accompanying this business is
! chimerical. He declares that unless
the American exporters build up mar
k. ts and make good friends in neutral
countries they will be hard pressed
foi a foreign market at the end of the
war. The European trade wit be gone
when Europe again Is at peace and
Vnierica will not be in good standing
with the neutrals because she has
m glected them, says Mr. Bourne.

CHINESE MONEY
MELTED AND USED
TDD MUNITIONS
Pacific News Service, Wash. Bureau. .
; WASHINGTON, China Is in a>
iiirioUB position of seeing her money!
! shipped aw ly by the ton to be melted
up and manufactured Into war
munitions and machinery, according
to consular reports received at the
Department of Commerce. The fainil
iar square coins with square holes
pierceing them contain about 89 per
cent copper and copper is at a pre
mium because of the shortage due to
uhe tremendously incrcast d consump
tion brought on by the war. At one
time recently this Chinese money was
b ing exported to Janan alone at the
rate of 6.000 tons a month. Other
shipments went to other countries. As
a natural resuit the Chinese are be
ginning to feed a severe shortage of
money with which to do business.
