DESCRIPTION OF NEW SHIP
JUST BUILT FOR UNCLE SAM
CAMDEN, N. J., July 18.—Another mon
ster fighting machine for the navy took the
waters the other day from the yards of
the New York Shipbuilding Company when
the superdreadnaught Idaho, sister ship of
the Pennsylvania, flagship of the Atlantic
fleet, was launched successfully. Henrietta
Aurelia Simmons, granddaughter of Gov
ernor Alexander of Idaho, was sponsor for
the big ship, and because of war conditions
the general public was not admitted to the
ceremony, which was witnessd by a small
group of navy, congressional and company
officials.
The Idaho will carry a round dozen 14
inch 50-caliber rifles, mounted in trios in
four turrets, two forward and two aft. In
size, armament, equipment, speed and all
but minor differences she will be a dupli
cate of the Pennsylvania and of the Mis
sissippi.
Geared turbine engines will furnish the
32,000 horse-power necessary to hurl her
600 feet of length and 33,000 tons of bulk
through the water at a rate of 21 knots, but
this class will be the last American battle
ships to be equipped with that type of pro
pelling machinery, future ships to have the
turbo-electric drive.
There are no secrets about the Idaho’s
construction except modifications made
after her hull had been laid down to give
her greater security against submarine at
tacks. Naval designers believe the vessel
will be a hard problem for a submarine,
and she cannot be sunk with a single tor
pedo.
There will be 22 five-inch 31-caliber rifles
along the Idaho’s sides as her protection
against torpedo craft; four three-inch anti
aircraft guns of the long-range type re
cently designed by the bureau of ordnance
will make it dangerous for hostile airplanes
or Zeppelins which seek to approach her.
A battery of powerful searchlights will
turn night into day when the ship has need
to use her guns after dark. Below the water
line two 21-inch torpedo tubes supplement
the terrific broadside weight of the ship’s
guns.
Like the Pennsylvania, the Idaho will need
26 senior. 16 junior and 10 warrant officers,
40 chief petty officers and more than 800
men as her fighting complement. She will
carry 70 marines and be fitted with quar
ters for an admiral and his staff, in addition
to the regular officers’ quarters, so that she
can carry the flag of the commander-in
chief of the fleet if necessary.
The Idaho, Mississippi, California, New
Mexico, Arizona, Pennsylvania and Ten
nessee will be the last American battle
craft to carry 12 fourteen-inch rifles in
their main batteries. They will complete
a wing of seven gigantic vessels with this
armament, and next from the ways will
come the West Virginia, Washington. Mary
land and Colorado, carrying eight 16-inch
rifles. Behind these will come the new
class of 42,000-tonners, five of which al
ready have been authorized, which will
carry 12 16-inch rifles.

PRESIDENT ASKS MORE FUNDS
TO GET COAL OF ALASKA
President Wilson, in approving the sug
gestions of Secretary of the Interior Lane,
has asked for an additional appropriation of
$4,000,000 to complete the thirty-mile ga,>
between the end of steel on the Turnagain
Arm line of the Alaska government railway
end Mile 71. on the Seward end; to energet
ically rush to completion the Matanuska
branch to the heart of the coal fields, and
start shipping Chicaloon coal at the earliest
possible moment, and concentrate all avail
able material on the completion of the main
line from Matanuska Junction northward as
far as Talkeetna. This information is con
tained in a Washington dispatch, which
states that there is every assurance that
the appropriation will be granted by con
gress, in compliance with the wishes of the
President, who realizes the importance of
getting huge fuel supplies and having them
distributed throughout the length and
breadth of the land. Alaska and her in
calculable deposits of coal may save the day
for the fighting forces of Uncle Sam, and
with this end in view the President is urging
congress to make the additional grant of
money.
NEWS NOTES FROM RUBY
(Record-Citizen, Aug. 11)
Snow Leaves for Home.—A letter from
Representative C. K. Snow, dated Alliance,
Neb., July 19, states that after eight weeks’
stay at Mayo Bros.’ he left for home, where
he is now spending his time quietly in com
pliance with physician’s orders. He claims
that his operation was successful.
Ruby May Have Court House.—It looks
as if Ruby would soon have a regular court
house instead of the usual makeshift in use
during the brief history of the camp. Judge
Bunnell has in mind the required site for
one and has sent correspondence to the de
partment of justice at Washington urging
the necessity of construction in the imme
diate future.
Well-known McGrath Couple Divorced.—
In the case of Marie Jeanne Geiger, plain
tiff, vs. William Edward Geiger, defendant,
the court granted a divorce in favor of the
plaintiff, in default of answer by the de
fendant, who is at McGrath. The custody
of the minor children, William Geiger, aged
17 ; Johnnie Geiger, 13, and Margaretta Vir
ginia Geiger, 11, was awarded to the
plaintiff.
Knutson Pleads Guilty.—The case of C. S.
Knutson of Fairbanks, who was to have
been tried in the district court on a charge
of rape, came to an abrupt close Thursday
morning, when the prisoner pleaded guilty.
He is now in the Ruby jail, where he was
remanded to await sentence. Knutson was
arrested last January at Hot Springs by
Deputy Marshal J. L. Anders and brought
to Tanana on a warrant sworn out before
Commissioner Vance R. McDonald of Long.

Iditarod Passenger Disappears
A passenger named A. Jemischi mysteri
ously disappeared from one of the lower
Yukon river boats near Holy Cross several
days ago, according to informBtion received
at Fairbanks on August 5. Jemischi went
on board at Dikeman and took passage for
Nenana. After leaving Holy Cross the man
was missed. Deputy Marshal Vawter, who
was on the boat, wired back to Holy Cross,
but no trace of the missing man could be
found, nor could any information concern
ing him be learned. The man’s baggage
and dog were sent on to Nenana. It is pos
sible he fell overboard, but that is not con
sidered likely, says the Fairbanks Citizen.

Looking for a British Peer
Alaska newspapers have been asked to
give publicity to an inquiry for Francis
Clements, who, by the death of his father,
becomes Lord Leitrim, a peer of Great Brit
ain. The man has been missing for a num
ber of years, and a country wide search has
been instituted for him, but so far without
result. The inquiry comes from an old
friend of R. M. Brown of Fairbanks, who
states that he knows the man and that he
is certain that he is in Alaska. The missing
Lord Leitrim left London in 1907. His
father would not furnish him with funds
with which to come to the United States,
so he came across the Atlantic ocesn as a
stoker on a steamship. From that time
until the present he has never reported
home, but he was seen at Vancouver as late
as 1913.

Probably Fatal Accident
After having been rushed at top speed
from Port Walter to Juneau, the cannery
tender Alf of the Alaska Pacific Herring
Company arrived late on the night of July
23 with Mrs. Anna Oberg on board. Mrs.
Oberg, while mountain climbing near Port
Walter, had accidentally dropped over a
cliff and was fearfully mangled, the flesh
being literally torn from her body and limbs
in large pieces. Mrs. Oberg is a resident of
Portland, and came North this summer to
workvin the herring cannery which is oper
ating at Port Walter. She, in company with
a number of others, climbed one of the
nearby mountains for a picnic. When near
the top Mrs. Oberg sat down on a bank to
slide for a short distance. She overesti
mated her ability to stop and plunged sev
eral hundred feet down over the snow,
finally falling over a high cliff. She has a
slim chance of recovery.

High Water at Nenana
During the recent heavy rainstorms the
Nenana river changed its course and the
high waters carried out several wagon
bridges and forced the engineering commis
sion to blow out one railroad bridge to
prevent further and more serious damage.
The scene of the disaster is at Iasst Slough,
twenty miles south of Nenana. The river
changed its course at this point, and has
so far failed to return to its old channel.
The driftwood formed an immense jam
above the bridge across the slough, and the
water was rapidly spreading over the sur
rounding country, threatening to wash out
sections of the track and inundate a vast
area of territory. To prevent this the rail
way bridge was blown out.

Enormous Run of Salmon
The northern section of Southeastern
Alaska is this year experiencing one of the
largest runs of salmon in the history of the
canning business in Alaska, according to re
ports from all canneries received by the
Juneau Empire. The salmon are running
in enormous schools, and in such numbers
that in spite of the increased number of
canneries and canning capacities, the plants
are unable to care for all the fish being
caught. On account of the war and the
shortage of foodstuffs, the demand for
canned salmon this season will be very
heavy.

Forces Engaged on Railroad Work
The force report of the Alaskan engineer
ing commission for the week ending July
21, as printed in the Nenana News, shows
a material increase in the number of em
ployes on the payrolls and a slight decrease
in the number of contractors, several of
the station men having completed their con
tracts during that period. The total num
ber of employes the previous week was 618,
a gain of 90 during the period. The num
ber of station men reported was 203, a de
crease of 13, and the number of station
men’s laborers shows an increase of 34.
Two hundred and nine head of stock were
in use during the period, a decrease of four.

Juneau Nurse Was Held as Spy
Word has been received at Juneau that
Miss Jean Albrecht, a well-known nurse of
that city, who was arrested as a German spy
at Eagle on her way down the Yukon river
from Dawson, has been released. Miss Al
brecht was traveling on the steamer Ca=ca
as a member of a midnight sun excursion
party, and was held by the immigration
authorities to answer the charge of being a
spy. Prior to locating in Juneau Miss Al
brecht was a resident of Vancouver, B. C.,
and left there just about the time war was
declared between Germany and Great Brit
ain. She is a German by birth, and speaks
English with a foreign accent. Her intense
interest in the war while a resident of
Juneau may have excited suspicion.
Held Up Recruiting Work
Papers that were stolen from Lieutenant
C. C. Clark at a hotel in Petersburg recently
have been recovered. James O’Donnell, who
stole the papers, says he was under the in
fluence of liquor and did not know what
he was doing. O’Donnell is of the I. W. W.
type, and served a jail sentence in Juneau,
and was recently in trouble in Ketchikan.
The work of recruiting officers was held up
three days on account of the theft of the
papers.
Longshoremen to Sue White Pass
It is announced that the longshoremen
who quit the White Pass Company at St.
Michael have provided a fund to secure
the costs of a lawyer to begin suit against
the company for misrepresenting conditions
and for failure to compensate them for losses
in the fire which destroyed the hotel and
other buildings at that place recently. They
claim the fire was not kept under control
because of the failure of the company to
provide proper fire-fighting equipment.
Little Beach Mining at Nome
An old-timer declares to the Nome In
dustrial Worker that in all his experience he
has never seen fewer men trying to operate
upon the beach than this season. One can
travel almost the entire length of the coast
without finding more than half a dozen
men trying their luck in the uncertain sands.
The surf washers are, he said, certainly idle
this summer, although the weather and tide
conditions have been favorable. He thought
this was just as Well. Those who tried to
eke out a summer stake on the beach by
such means usually ran short on the winter 1
stake in the fall. As he pointed out, there |
is no form of mining where such practical j
skill is required as in beach mining, if one
is to save the gold, and only experienced men
-and these must be favored by consider
able good fortune—will come anywhere near
making wages. Once in a while a pocket
is encountered where wages will be forth
coming, but that is not very often.
Trading with Siberia
For the first time in many years there
has been no trading with the Siberian na
tives this year, says the Nome Industrial
Worker. Not one boat has been outfitted
to start on such a trip. The merchants
and others appear to be uneasy lest the un
settled state of things anticipated over there
might result in the confiscation of the ship
and its trading cargo, as happeneed to the
Diamond L. some time ago. There is hardly
any such danger, and it wes stated on good
authority that any person who secured a
license from the Russian revenue cutter
there could trade to his heart's content
along the Siberian coast. There is one out
fit here which arrived from the Outside
and which made inquiries looking toward
securing a schooner or other boat to take
three men and prospecting equipment over
to Siberia. This expedition was being
equipped and financed by a California man, j
but whether he made arrangements to take
over the party is not known. It is not
known by what right any American can go
to Anadir and prospect or whether the
old system which was in vogue under the
empire prevails under the republic. There
is considerable wealth in the tributaries of
the Anadir. A short distance up this great
navigable stream is a bountiful supply of j
coal, end many of the creeks have already I
proved to be rich. It would seem that all
that is needed is for the Siberian authori- 1
ties to give the word and a new town will j
spring up in Anadir bay, where English will
be the predominant language and Americans I
wilt mike up the population. “If the Cham- j
ber of Commerce only knew it,” says the j
Nome paper, “by securing from Petrograd !
the proper forms for staking and settling;
on the ground in Siberia they could start j
old Nome booming this fall as the supply
point of a stampede such as has never been j
before in ail its history. As it is, it is un- j
derstood quite a number are now seeking in
formation for themselves on this head.”

CAPTAIN OF GERMAN SHIP
MURDERED MEN OF CREW
Not until the crew of the German cruiser
Cormorant was taken to Manila for trans
portation to the United States was it known
that when the commander of the interned
raider blew up his vessel in the harbor of
Guam a Russian prisoner lost his life, says ,
the Seattle Times of recent date. The Rus- !
sian itad been held prisoner on the ffiip un
known to the American officials in Guam.
News of his fate was received from Manila
or July 26.
A keen hatred developed between the offi
cers of the Cormorant and her crew after
the destruction of the vessel at the dec- :
laration of war with Germany. This was
due to an exhibition of cruelty on the part
of the commander which would have cost
him his life had the men been permitted to
have their owr. way. The Manila advices
report that when the captain of the Cor
morant received word that war had been
declared he had completed preparations to
blow up his vessel, and the men were
aware of his plans. Everything had been ;
arranged beforehand. When the time came |
for firing the fuses the men below were to
be notified in ample time to enable them ,
to make their escape.
In the hurry demanded by the situation, j
however, the captain rlid not keep faith
with his men, and without warning to those
in the fire room he ignited the fuses and
blew five of his sailors to death. Those of
the fire room force surviving and others of
the crew joined in an agreement to kill the
commander, but their arrest by American
officers frustrated their plans.
When they arrived at Manila they made
several attempts to settle the grievance, but
were unable to accomplish their purpose.
Members of the crew now interned are said
to have agreed among themselves that even
if they have to wait for years, their former
captain will eventually pay the extreme
penalty for having sacrificed men whose
lives could have been saved had it not been
for his sheer brutality.
While the officers and men were awaiting
transportation in Manila it also developed
that all the time the Cormorant had been
interned in (he poTt of Guam there had
been kept on board a Russian, said to have
been a naval officer, who was made a pris
oner when the Cormorant, formerly a Rus
sian vessel, was captured and used as a
Pacific ocean raider under the German Hag.
When the ship was blown up this man was
confined below, and his life was sacrificed.

KAISER NOT RESPONSIBLE
TO ANY EARTHLY POWER
(Francis Wayne in The Great Divide '
In the year 1SSS William II. became em
peror of Germany and king of Prussia.
With lordly disdain the youthful heir to
the throne brushed aside alt officers of
church and state and with his own hands
placed the crown of Charlemagne upon his
head.
This done, according to Morton Prince in
“The Psychology of the Kaiser.” the mon
arch proclaimed with noticeable emphasis
that “he was firmly resolved to maintain
intact and guard front all encroachment
the chartered prerogatives of the crown."
Scanning the list of “chartered preroga
tives” as furnished by Mr. Prince, it is evi
dent that nothing can be or is done in the
government of Germany without the em
peror's consent; that his power is limitless ,
and therefore his responsibility is without j
bounds.
What arc the prerogatives of which the j
kaiser was so jealous when he ascended the i
throne ami against which the Social Demo- ’
crats and people have murmured during the
years of the war?
“It is the kaiser's prerogative not to be 1
responsible to the people or to parliament,
but only to himself. He does not derive j
his power from either, but he reigns in his I
own right. He not only retgns, but it is j
his prerogative to govern.
“It is the kaiser's prerogative to appoint
a chancellor to help him govern. He has ,
no cabinet, nor board of advisers. The
chancellor is responsible only to the em
peror. Parliament may be entirely opposed |
to him, but in such case he does not neces- ;
sarily resign, as would the British prime
minister, nor is it customary usage. The ;
kaiser alone may dismiss him. The em- I
peror may disregard him and his advice, j
if he likes, so that in practice he may be j
his own chancellor.
“A third prerogative is to appoint the j
ministers, the heads of great departments—
navy, foreign affairs, colonies, etc. Thus |
all executive power resides in the kaiser. ;
“A fourth prerogative is to be commander I
and chief of the army and to have absolute J
authority over the forces of the army, both :
in peace and in war. It is his prerogative
to determine the numerical strength and or- j
ganization, and the divisional contingents of I
the imperial army; also to appoint superior j
officers.
A fifth and exceedingly powerful pre- |
rogative is to appoint and control seven- j
teen members of the upper house—the bun- j
desrath or federal council—the most power- J
ful upper house in the world. The kaiser
thus has the votes—only fourteen being
required—to defeat any amendment to the I
constitution. This council, creature of the
emperor, gives the consent to declare war. !
“A sixth prerogative is to initiate a'l
legislation, although indirectly, through his !
controlled federal council, of which his crea- i
ture. the chancellor, is the president.
“All measures must originate in the up- '
per house, which can also veto them when
they are amended by the reichstag, and can
dissolve the latter.”
Finally, writes Mr. Prince, “the kaiser
claims that his prerogative to govern is i
derived from God, granted by the Almighty j
to his house of Hohenzollern. In this Twen- I
tieth century it is difficult for thinking pco- j
pie to imagine anyone regarding such a
claim for the prerogative of divine right !
seriously; but, writes Mr. Prince: "It is 1
a deep, all-abiding belief and principle of
action with the kaiser. Another sovereign
derives his right to reign, if not to govern,
from the constitution of his country, which
means in the last analysis by contract with
his people. But the German emperor re
fuses to acknowledge any responsibility to
the people, or any dependence upon the
people or the constitution or contract for
his right to govern. He derives this right
directly from God. Whatever rights or
powers the people possess descend from the
kaiser, who grants them through the con
stitution; the rights anil powers of the
kaiser do not ascend from the people, as
in a democracy.”
Boasts of His Appointment by God
In crowning himself the kaiser announced;
“It is the trpdition of our house that we,
the llnhcnz Herns, regard ourselves as ap
pointed by God to govern and to lead the
people whom il is given us to rule, for
thei” will being end ’le advancement of
their materiel and intellectual interests.”
Again: “I look upon the people of the
nation, handed on to me as a responsibility
conferred upon me by God; and that it is,
as is written in the Bible, my duty to in
crea-e this heritage lor which one day I
shall be called upon to give an account;
those who try to interfere with my task I
shall crush."
Again: “I regard my whole position as
given to me direct from heaven, and tiiat
I have been called by the Highest to do His
work, by One to whom 1 must one day
render an account.”
The prerogatives mentioned are double
headed, in that they not only belong to the
emperor of Germany but to the king of
Prussia.
The delusion of William II.. who spawned
this war. is that the crown he wears was
bestowed by God. The real fact is that not
only his crown but his principality were ac
quired on a pawn ticket, for “The first rul
ing Hohenzollern of Brandenburg, Elector
Frederick I., acquired his title to the elec
torate by taking from King Sigismund of
Hungary, in 1114, a mortgage on the prov
ince (the nucleus of modern Prussia), as
security for a loan to that hard-up potentate
of about 100.000 gulden. A little later he
foreclosed the mortgage and took a title -
a rather poor title at that, as there was al
ready a mortgage on the property which it
was convenient for Sigismund to repudi
ate.” Perhaps, suggests Mr. Prince, “royal
second mortgages, like marriages, are made
in heaven, and thus they become ‘divine
rights.’ ”
Five years ago Kaiser William declared,
“Considering myself as an instrument of
the Lord, and without heeding the views
and opinions of the day, I go my way.”
Quo Vadis, one might ask of this partner
of the Most High.

PRINTER-EDITOR’S PRAYER
(Verstovian)
Help me to write clean, simple, earnest
copy based on an investigation of myself
and those I serve—an unbiased analysis.
Teach me to criticize myself and others
honestly always with sympathy and help
ful kindness—never let me use a blue pen
cil with enmity or spare it from cowardice.
Give me the power to create an appeal that
competition can never say misrepresents.
Hein me to space my actions with smiles
and frankness, easy to read in a margin
of white ideals and set off from what others
are doing with a plain border of faith and
courage. And grant that in the end, as I
write the closing paragraph of the day, I
may not be ashamed of the taste I have
used and that I may write a plain head
over all and set my signature in a font that,
all who look may see. Last, and greatest
of all, grant me a refreshing sleep knowing
ave been persistent, consistent, and al
ways doing my share of co-operation in
serving my neighbor and Thy kingdom.
Amen 1
