PERSHING’S FIGHTING MEN
FINEST FIGHTERS IN WORLD
"The finest body of troops in the world,”
is what a foreign mitttary observer ex
claimed as Pershing’s veterans swung across
the Mexican border a few months ago, ac
cording to Webb Miller, a stuff correspon
dent of the United Press, writing from
Washington.
They are the men who will make up
“Pershing’s 2.5,000" the first of the Ameri
can troops ordered to France. They are
the men who pushed across the ‘‘hell hike”
--23 miles without water in a withering sun
in one day, and pitched camp singing.
America and the allies will be proud of
these men. 1 hey are the flower of the
army.
In the 12,000 men who followed Pershing
into Mexico after \ dla the United States
has the best body of trained men -and
trained for real fighting- that can be found
in the world.

little army settled down on the sun-baked
plains to wait. While they waited Pershing
gave them the hardest continuous round of
training any American forces have ever un
dergone. For eleven months they drilled,
drilled, drilled. The war department was
waking up. The lessons of the world war
were eagerly seized upon. Every phase of
the European war was studied and the re
st,Its drilled into the men. Modern trench
fighting was practiced day by day. The
army dug the new style trenches and prac
ticed "going over the top.” It was severe
training. But the fruits should send a
thrill through the nation when they "go
over” the front trenches the first time in
France.
As the little army marched across the
international line at Columbus, N. M., on
the morning of February 5, I stood at the
side of a foreign military attache.
In the thirteen-mile column, with Persh
ing at the head, they poured silently down
the dusty slope, amid sand clouds from
the hot desert. The little group on the bor
der stood fascinated. Then the attache,
who had seen thousands of men train, tight
and die, broke the silence.
“They’re the finest body of lighting men
in the world," he said. "They've had such
training us no other army has had. And
in them is the spirit of you Americans. I
don't know what it is, but I can see it in
the swing of their shoulders and the rhythm
of their march.”
These men arp now waiting for the word.
As an old grizzled first sergeant said while
the troops were marching out:
"They'd follow 'Black Jack’ Pershing to
heil
And “Black Jack” Pershing is the man
to lead them there if need be.

POWERS OF GOVERNMENT
UNLIMITED IN WAR TIME
TO PUNISH DISLOYALTY
United Stales district attorneys through
out Alaska have received instructions from
Washington to cause the arrest and prose *
cution of any person failing to register on
the day which will be specified, and also
to arrest anyone uttering anything detri
mental to the government or its officers,
according to the Juneau Empire.
Circular letters have been mailed from
the office of the governor to all United
States marshals and United States com
missioners, calling their attention to the
provisions of the law and the proclamation
of the President. The officials were in
structed to start preparing to handle the
work of registration of all persons in the
outlying sections, and also to prepare to
arrest all those who evade or attempt to
evade the provisions of the registration act.
What Was Done in Previous Wars
The question of the powers of govern
ment in war time to punish disloyalty and
the utterance of disloyal sentiments is not
thoroughly understood, and especially in
the Iditarou district has been the subject of
animated discussion. It may be opportune
to detail what has been done in previous
wars to gain an idea of the almost unlimited
powers exercised by the government when
the safety of the country is menaced.
J. B. Morrow, a well-known writer, tells
in the Cincinnati Enquirer how tory print
ers, during the time of the revolutionary
war, were warned that the publication of
loyalist pamphlets meant “death and de
struction, ruin and perdition.” In New York
before the revolution lories supposed to be
dangerous were banished. Everywhere
throughout the colonies tones were dis
armed, and in many instances their prop
erty was confiscated. Mr. Roosevelt in his
“Life of Gouverneur Morris,” says that “had
the Americans been united and had they
possessed the stubborn, unyielding tenacity
end high devotion to an ideal shown by the
North, or the heroic constancy and match
less valor shown by the South, in the civil
war, the British would have been driven
off the continent before three years were
over.” They were driven off, but at the
end of seven years. The tories prolonged
the war, but they could not change the j
result, and thousands of them were killed j
and thousands of others lost their prop- j
erty and became pensioners of the British j
government, to be despised by the English, |
as the copperheads were despised by the
Confederates. “No loyalist,” said one of j
them, “e*an endure to live under the im
perious laws of Washington and his min
ions.”
thnnaoml tnries fled from and 5
through New York to Canada and Nova l
Scotia, to be fed like children by the Eng
lish. The only son of Benjamin Franklin
was a tory. Among the loyalists were
wealthy landowners, lawmakers, physicians,
clergymen, teachers, merchants, farmers,
mechanics, politicians and farm laborers.
They said that war was unnecessary, that
peace wasted no lives, no property; that
negotiation, in the then state of progress
and humanity, had superseded muskets and
sabers.
In the wars of the American people, ex
cept possibly those in early days with the
Indians, there have been obstructionists and
others, some of whom have felt “the firm
hand of stern repression.” The hand on
two occasions was Washington's and Lin
coln’s. This year it wilt be Woodrow Wil
son’s.
In the Civil War
During the civil war President Lincoln
was criled upon to deal with the copper
heads of the North, and is quoted as say
ing “I think that the time is not unlikely
to come when I shall be blamed for having
made too few arrests rather than too many' j
The Northern jails were then filled with
copperheads, and Lincoln asked, “Must 1
shoot the simple-minded soldier boy who
deserts, while I must not touch a hair of
the wily agitator who induces him to de
sert ?’’
Secretary Seward had every person com
ing into or leaving the country watched
by special agents at ports aiong the Atlantic
ocean and on the Great Lakes. Officers of
the army, United States marshals and
chiefs of police were directed to perform
the work. Arrests were made for supplying
the enemy with arms or provisions for help
ing or purposing to help organize troops for
the enemy; for selling the bonds of states
that had been withdrawn from the Union;
for discouraging enlistments in the Federal
or encouraging enlistments in the Confed
erate army : for expressing sympathy with
the South and for attackin gthe Lincoln ad
ministration.
President Lincoln meted out a rather j
ludicrous punishment to an ex-congressman
named Yallandigham in Ohio, who was
particularly blatant. He shipped him be
hind the Confederate fines. Rut the South
erners were not enamored of him, and he
found his way to Canada by way of Ber
muda, and finally back home, where he
was ignored.
Lincoln ignored a writ of habeas corpus
issued by Chief Justice Taney of the su- j
preme court, under which a prisoner was
ordered to be brought into court and heard.
“To state the question more directly, are
all the laws but one to go unexecuted, and
the government itself go to pieces lest that
one be violated?” asked Lincoln.
Power to Suspend Habeas Corpus
President Wilson has power to suspend
the writ of habeas corpus “in case of re
bellion or treason,” quoting the language of
the constitution, and “when the public
safety requires it.” Thus persons supposed
to be disloyal to the country can be thrown
into prison and kept there, even though
they have never been tried and convicted.
Agents of the government, acting for the
President, can take a man out of his own
house, in time of war, and keep him behind
bars indefinitely.
During the seven and a half months in
which Secretary Seward carried on the
work of detecting the enemies of the gov
ernment and had the care of political pris
oners, about 1,000 men were arrested in
different parts of the country. They were
imprisoned, for the most part, at different
forts, and at the Capitol prison, which
stood near the grounds now occupied by
the Congressional Library.
Seldom was a reason given for an arrest.
The man wras found on the street, at his
place of business or in bed at home and
borne away. Here is a typical Seward tele
gram, with the real name omitted: “Super
intendent of Police, New York: Arrest
William Blank of Carroll county, Missis
sippi, now in your city, and send him to
Fort Lafavette.”

ALASKA NEWS
"Slackers" Come to Alaska
A Seward dispatch to a Seattle news
paper says that officers on the steamship
Alameda report the bringing to Alaska of a
number of sons of wealthy families who
are sending them North to work in can
neries and elsewhere in the hope of escap
ing conscription. These are referred to ;
as “rah-rah boys” and “flag cheaters” by
the sailors, who asked them how their par
ents came to think of the scheme. Most
of the canneries are in remote pieces and
will not be liable to be visited by draft
census takers. Officers are anxious to
know how so many families happened to
think of this scheme of aiding their sons
to avoid conscription at the same time.
Rich Pay Reported in Tolovana
That remarkably rich pay has been found
on the ground of Kinney & Franklin, on
No. 2 Franklin gulch, is the news received
from Brooks by J. C. Kinney of Fairbanks,
according to the News-Miner. In a letter
received from Carl Swenson, a partner in
some other mining ground, Mr. Kinney is
advised that pans running as high as $90
apiece were taken out recently by Martin,
Goodwick & Arndt, the laymen on the
ground. One pan produced $0", another
one $90, and three others $87. Judge John
F. Dillon, a recent arrival from the Tola
vana, corroborates this report, saying that
before he left the Tolovana district he
learned that $250 had been taken from
three or four pans of dirt. To date this
is positively the richest strike made in the
Tolovana district. In the same letter Mr.
Kinney is advised that some ground in
which he is interested, on Amy gulch, has
shown as high as $2 pans, and Mr. Kinney
feels that he is, as the writer of the letter
wrote, “in bad all around.”
Attorney Disbarred
Alexander C. Young, who has been prac
ticing law in the courts of Alaska for nearly
a year, was permanently disbarred from
further practice by Judge Jennings on May j
12 as the result of charges filed against i
Young recently, and on which hearings
were held during the greater part of a
week. The attorney was charged with dis
honest practices in dealing with clients.
In making the order of disbarment Judge
Jennings said: "When Mr. Young came
here he stated to me generally that years
before he had been disbarred in New Jer
sey. He asked me privately whether I
would hold the previous disbarment against
him if he applied for admittance to the
bar here. He assured me that his previous
disbarment was on account of domestic
troubles, and said nothing about being dis
barred on account of reprehensible prac
tices.”
Alaska Murderer Found Guilty
Robert T. Stroud, an Alaska lad who is
serving a sentence in the Leavenworth peni
tentiary for a murder committed in Alaska,
was found guilty on May 29 of the murder
of A. F. Turner, a guard, whom he stabbed
to death about a year ago. The jury rec
ommended mercy.
Rabid Utterances
For using obscene language and for ut
terances against the President bordering on j
the treasonous, Jack O'Neil, an old-timer of ,
the Trnana valley, was arrested recently ;
bv Chief of Police Wiseman at Fairbanks, j
In speaking of the war ONel called the r
President a vile, unprintable name. ’Ihe !
matter was later taken up with the federal
authorities, and it was said that a com- j
munication had been seat t > the attorney
general asking what disposition iie wished
to make of the case. 0 Neil is said to
have been guilty of other rabid utterances.
The News Miner says: "In the Fairbanks
district there are several men who are re
ported to be making statements against the
government and the President, and they
may not be as fortunate as O'Neil in escap
ing with arrest, for had it uot been for
the self-restraint shown by the men who >
heard the utterances last night the man !
making them might now be in the hospital
instead of the jail.”
Production of Kennecott
A Boston dispatch of April 25 says that j
the current production of the Kennecott j
Copper Company of about 7,090,000 pounds j
per month from the Alaska properties con
stitutes the normal yield for this time of
year. Through the summer months the
operations wifi speed up somewhat and the
output may again equal the high figures
of a year ago, when for several months it
ran above 10.000,000 pounds of copper. '
Officials estimate that the eyrrent year will j
show fully as great a production from j
Alaska as did 1916, or approximating 110,- I
000,000 pounds. The costs will be some- j
what higher on account of the payment of j
higher wage bonuses. From the Beatson j
mine the production now runs slightly bet- J
ter then 1,000.000 pounds per month, and j
by July the capacity should be sufficiently
increased to permit of a yield close to
2,000,000 pounds a month. Work on
doubling the capacity of the bleaching plant
at the Bonanza mine shoulrl be. finished
during the next few' months. This now
has a capacity of close to 500 tons daily,
and will be increased to handle 1,000 tons
of tailings every day. The extraction from
the Bonanza product has been better than
90 per cent; recovery from the tailings ex
ceeds 70 per cent. Sixty-five per cent ore
still figures prominently in shipments from
the Bonanza mine. This direct smelting
material, along with concentiates and pre
cipitates’ goes to the Tacoma smelter of
the American Smelting & Refining Com
pany.
Kuskokwim Man in U-Boat Zone
Chased by a German submarine for the
better part of one day, but managing to
evade the U-boat by the greater speed of
the vessel on which they were traveling,
was one of the experiences encountered by
J. Weir and his bride, who are on their
w'ay from Glasgow, Scotland, to Alaska,
where Mr. Weir has extensive mining in
terests in the Kuskokwim river district,
says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer of April
3. “Jack” Weir spent more than ten years
in the North, busy during that period sav
ing against the day he would return to
Glasgow and claim his boyhood sweetheart
for his bride. Last July he came out of
the North with his "stake,” hurried to Gtas
g0W, and there they were married. In Feb
ruary they sailed on a Cunarder for New
York, and the first day out encountered
the thrills attending the appearance of a
German U-boat astern, distant about a mile
md a half. The passenger vessel put on
ill speed, but the U-boat was likewise fast
ind it was an anxious chase for those
iboard the steamship. They finally eluded
he submersible, and now “Jack” Weir is
msy receiving the congratulations of his
nany Alaskan friends in Seattle, both on
lis escape and his having acquired so
'harming a bride.
Iron Ore from Ssldovia
When the Adiifiral Evans sailed South
rom Seward recently she had on board
hirty tons of ore which was loaded at
hidovia to be tested Outside. There are
nany iron deposits in this section of the
■ountrv, says the Gateway, and those in
he neighborhood of Seldoyia have under
r0ne the stages of preliminary investiga- .
ion, and evidently are considered of value. I
Hie iron ore cargo of the Evans is the
irst ever shipped out of this country, ac- j
lording to old-timers who ought to know, j
md they are of the opinion that this is j
u.-t the beginning of what will some day [
re a big industry in Seward.
The Kuskokwim Medicine Man
Those residents of the Kuskokwim and ■
iditarod districts who remember Dr. Fred
11. Spiers will appreciate the following,
vhich is from the Butte Miner: “Tales
-ivaJling those portrayed in Rex Beach’s
Spoilers,’ and painting a glowing picture
if Alaska, are being told around Hunters
lot Springs these days by Dr. Fred M.
spiers, United States commissioner for the
second district of Alaska. Dr. Spiers, wear- |
ng a Russian sable cap and the regimen- |
;tl shoe equipment, arrived here Sunday
o take treatment for sciatic rheumatism,
it takes the commissioner a whole year
o make the round trip from Ochotzgacha
'amute, where the government mission is
istabiished. He says the way to pronounce
he name of the place is by a simple sneeze,
it is located in the far North, over 1,200
niles from Nome, end to get there several
lifferent kinds of .iourneyings are necessary.
Leaving Nome, he travels on the White
3ass & Yukon railway to the Yukon river,
hence a canoe trip to the mouth of that
■tream takes the traveler to the Koyukuk

Eskimo. The last 350 miles of the journey

GERMAN ADMIRAL PROMISED
SUBJUGATION OF AMERICA
(Michigan Tradesman)
In 1898, at Manila, the Germ** rear ad
miral, Yon Gootzen, a close friend of the
eai.sc-r, said to the American Admiral
Dewey:
“In about fifteen years my country will
iegin a great war, during which Germany
will absorb Holland, annex Belgium, de
stroy France, cripple Russia, humble Eng
land and subjugate the United States. Some
months after we have done our business in
Europe we shat! take New York and prob
ably Washington, and we shill keep them
for a time. We do not intend to take any
territory from you, but only to put your
tountrv in its proper place with reference
to Germany. We shat! extract one or two
trillions of dollars from New Y'ork and
it her towns.”
“About fifteen years” proved to be a
dose prophecy, because the kaiser started
his long-planned war on civilization and
Jemocracy within fifteen years and fifteen
months after the German rear admiral ut
tered his prediction to one of America’s
greatest naval heroes.
The Tradesman has long had in its pos
session a series of books written by the
different members of the German general
-taff, describing how each wouLd proceed
to “subjugate America.” All of the book*
are addressed to the kaiser, acd state ex
plicitly that they were written at the
kaiser's request.
In the light of these positive proofs
furnished by German officers of the German
rider—no American citizen who has ordi
nary inteUigence can fail to see that for
more than nineteen years the kaiser has
been planning to "subjugate the United
States” in his determination to destroy de
mocracy and substitute it with the cruel
and tyrannical rule of Prussien imperial
ism.
