AUSTRIAN COMMUNICATION
AROUSES IRE OF BRITAIN
LONDON, Feb. 10. Or Edward Grey,
secretary of state for foreign affairs, finds
opportunity for some plain speaking re
garding the Austro-Germun submarine war
fare in a letter to the Aaierican ambassa
dor. Walter II. Page, rej iving to a request
from the Austro-Hung um government
that special pains be tab- n to insure the
safety of certain Austr Hungarian sub
jects who are being repatriated from India.
The request is embodied in a petition
from Austro-Hungarian subjects which the
Austro-Hungarian government indorses. Sir
ICdward Grey has replied as follows:
“Some of the requests of the petition
already have been concede 1 as a matter of
course. With regard 10 that portion of
the petition which asks hat special pre
r :utions be taken to prevent danger to the
lives of the passengers of the Goleonda by
submarine attack, I feel bound to express
n.y astonishment that the Austro-Hungarian
government, itself one cf the authors of
the danger, should have thought it seemly
to indorse this request.
“Not content, however with doing this,

slates that they will hold his majesty's gov
ernment responsible for the lives and well
being of those passengers, ‘a majority of
whom are better class people.'
"I am at a loss to know why better class
people should lie thought more entitled to
protection from submarine attack than
other non-combatants. But however that
may be, the only danger of the character
indicated winch threatened the passengers
on the G.deonda is one for which the
Austro-Hungarian and German governments
alone are responsible. It is they only who
carry on the novel and inhuman form of
warfare which disregards all hitherto ac
cepted principles of international law, and
necessarily endangers the lives of non
combatants.
“By asking for special precautions to pro
feet one of its own subjects on board a
British merchant vessel, the Austro-Hun
garian government recognizes what is the
inevitable consequence of its submarine pol
icy. and admits that the outrages whereby
the Lusitania, the Persia and numbers of
other ships have been sunk without warn
ing were not the result of casual brutalities
of the officers of the enemy submarines,
but part of a settled and premeditated pul
icy of the governments they serve.
“It is needless to add that his majesty's
government does not propose to take any
precautions on behalf of Austro Hungarian
subjects which they do not take on behalf
of their own, and if they sutler injury from
submarine attack on the part of his
majesty's enemies the responsibility must
rest solely with those who have made such
attacks part of their ordinary methods of
warfare.
"The proper and sufficient protection
from this danger is that Austria Hungary
and Germany should observe the ordinary
rules of humanity in the methods of war
fare which they have adopted.”

| It was a tired but happy throng tha! re
turned to Iditarod on Saturday morning
! last, after being in attendance at the leap
year party given by the ladies of Mat and
Otter creeks. The unique affair was well
attended, and all who wore there unite in
saying that it was one of the mod | le. aur
able events of the season. The Moose hall
at Flat was crowded to its limit, and the
festivities were continued until about 5 a. m.
There were several amusing incidents in
• connection with the dance, which was con
ducted in strictly leap-year fashion. The
i men folks were for the nonce compelled to
| forego their privilege of choosing partners,
j which was assumed by the ladies, who also
I acted a.s escorts and attendants. And woe
; to the man who violated any of the strict
rule.' which had been promulgated by the
fair managers of the entertainment, for
I essaying to walk across the lioor without
I a lady escort the men were lined, and sev
vial contributed toward the expenses of
the affair because of this dereliction. The
j ladies also treated their partners to ice
i cream and soft drinks.
; Mrs. \. r. .Jacobs created much merri
men! by appearing in the role of a sutfra
gette. with a troupe of properly-subdued
| male attendants. Her husband, adorned
; with a dog collar, to which a chain was
I attached, was led in. holding a baby; Ivan
Wales, with feather duster and broom, was
! a parlor maid; Christy Anthonieson ap
peared with ironing board, etc., in the role '
! t f laundress; Billy Thomas was armed with
darning needPs and engaged in the task o ;
ending socks, while Grant Murdock ap
peared in the role of a sturdy washerwoman. 1
with tub and washboard. Whether they'
were supposed to typify the state to which ;
I mere man willbe reduced when women’s
1 “rights" are achieved was not apparent. But
they presented a most amusing picture.
Mrs. George MutchPr acted tlie part of
“chaperon." and appeared in a fantastic
costume modeled alter some long-forgotten j
fashion. Mrs. Ed King was chief of police.
• whose duty it was to bring offenders against 1
the leap-year rules to justice, and Mrs. Jo**
1 McDowell was her assistant. 'I he arrest and j
lining of delinquents provided much amuse- 1
merit and likewise plenty of the necessary.
The ladies had full charge of the affair
until 1 o’clock, when the strict rules were 1
relaxed somewhat and the men were given
, a chance to resume their rightful status.
The Jobbers Jobbed
Messrs. Peck and Meaeham engineered a
: scheme which did not work out according
: to schedule. The word was passed around
, that for a certain dance all the men were
I io inform would-be partners that they were
“engaged," and when ihe musicians started
up there would not be a couple on the floor,
'eomeune gave the scheme away, however,
and when the time came, instead of the
ladies being noiij lussed, each appeared with
m lady partner and went through the dance, j
Menehsm is -till looking for the man who |
:nve the plan awry.
An excellent lunch was served upstairs,
which was enjoyed by 150 persons. After
all had been well supplied with good tilings
there were several fine rakes left over, and
these were auctioned off. and this was made
the occasion fur a lot of good-natured 1
rivalry. The proceeds of the entertainment,
after all expenses had been paid, was Sod. ,
which was turned over to the Moose 1 >dge. j
Popular features were the three booths
presided over by Miss Nel-011. Mrs. Letnes !
and Mrs. Wicks and Mrs. Lottie Thornton, j
At one punch was .-erved, at a second ice (
cream, and the third was {-resided over by
Mrs. Thornton in the role of “Carlotta. the j
famous trance medium," who told fortunes '
and read palm? for a small monetary con- j
sideration. Some who had their past- re ;
vealed and their future predicted are still
wondering whether it was all guess work, j
Messrs. Harry Harms, Ed Ilensley, Sid
Ensor and Arnold Dchaus served very etfi- j
ciently at the tables, and Mrs. Chit tick won j
golden opinions as an able financial agent. \
The music, furnished by Messrs. Lowrie
and Taylor, was excellent.

KING COTTON’S THRONE
THREATENED BY CHEMISTS
| SEATTLE, Feb. 12.—Cotton is king, they
say in the South, but the snowy monarch
may have to abdicate one of these days.
Victor Nelson, a student in chemical engi
neering in the University of Washington, is
one of the revolutionists who has been
stirred to action by the expensive reign
of King Cotton. He is engaged in an in
vestigation of the possibilities of substitut
ing wood puli) for cotton in the manufac
ture of plastics.
Nelson has noted in his studies that cot
ton treated with caustic soda and carbon
disulphide results in a jelly-like substance
which can be molded into forms and, when
dried, resembles horn closely. It is a sub
stitute for celluloid in many cases.
In his investigations he found that just j
as satisfactory results could be obtained i
from wood pulp made by the sulphite I
. process in Oregon City as from cotton. The
, substitution of wood for cotton in the man
j ufacture of vulcanized fiber for trunk boards
I and electric insulations is also a probability,
j For inferior grades powdered wood may be
j used.
Professor H. K. Benson, under whose di
! rection Nelson is at work, spoke recently j
| before a woman’s organization on this gen- j
eral subject, and displayed samples of at
tractive fabrics made from wood yarn only.
The samples, perhaps the only ones in this
country, were loaned by a New York sci
entist.

The Men Turned Their Heads
Amid scenes of great excitement, Mrs.
Casey Jones won the dog race for women
from Anchorage to the Whitney ranch to
day, .-ays an Anchorage di-patch of Feb. 14
to ibe Seward Post. Mrs. Jones drove a
team of seven bird dogs, and they got
away from her on the return trip, but she
•luckily followed for two mile-, catching
them and winning the race of fifteen miles
in one hour and fertv minutes. Miss
Pichette. driving three dogs from Captain
Neely’s team, was second. She lost her skirt
at the start, but refused to stop, kicking it
free and c mtinuing in her underskirt. Mrs.

A
Million Dollar’s Worth of Ore in Three Days
Deputy Customs Collector George Ken
nedy reports that the value of the copper
ore shipments from Cordova for the first
three days of February was more than a
million dollars, and thtre is every imlica
ion that during the present month a new
record will be established in the output
of this metal, says the Times of February
12. At the present time there are 2,000
tons of this high-grade ore piled up at
Chitina and another 1,000 tons in transit
from the Ksnnecott mines, besides a
quantity stored here, all awaiting trans
portation to the smelter. In order to han
dle the output of the Bonanza and Jumbo
mines- two trains are being run daily be
tween Kminecott and Cordova, and those
in a position to know claim that the ore
shipments from this port for February will
be between $2,500,000 and S3.000.000. which
is almost as much as the total output of
copper for Alaska in 1914,

Wedding Guests Drowned Near Kodiak
A party of four or five wedding guests
were drowned while en route on the launch
Mattie from Afognak to Kodiak early in
February, according to work brought to
Seward by the Dora, says the Post of Feb.
24. The body of Johnny Pajoyman, brother
of Charles Pajoyman, the storekeeper at
Afognak, was found at Wood island, below
Kodiak. Others believed to be among the
dead are: Jessie Robbins, Sarah Larson
and Mrs. Orloff, all of Afognak. The party
was going to Kodiak to attend the wedding
of Ben Kraft and Anna Silman. While
they were on the way a hard northwest
storm arose, so severe that the Dora, then
in Shelikoff straits, became coated with a
I foot of ice. The finding of Pajcynsan's body
was the first indication that the party wu.
I lost, l.ater the wreckage of the Mattie war
| found, but no other bodies were recovered,
i When the Dora left Kodiak, on February

if all goes wilt, within the next two months.
1; is to be a four-compartment shaft, and
is to be fitted with a large electric hoist
! operating four ton skips for the handling
of ore. There will also be an electric hoi t
; for the cages for hoisting the men. The
Tiaft is timbered with the exception of a
! few hundred feet, which wi.l be timbered
as the shaft is enlarged. The contract for
the hcaufranie. which will be of steel, ha
been Ft. and will be about 100 feet abnv**
the collar of the shaft. It is expectc 1
thst tl." entire plant wi'l be ready for
•nice by August 1. The decision to sink
the new shaft at the Bullion was due to
the fact that the foot of the old shaft
was drawing away from the ore body at a
rapid rate, and the shaft was deepened arm
the cost of hauling the ore to the bottom
was increasing the cost of operation.

Berry’s Wonderful Moose
Arthur Berry, who recently was in So-*
prri from the Kuskokwim country, told the
Gateway of that city that he is the owner
f the most wonderful moose aiive. Up
» n the banks of that stream, where Mr
Berry lives and conducts the Kuskokwim
Trading Company, he has a cow moose that
comes into the house and lies down like a
pot domestic animal. When the door is
1 eked Mrs. Moose comes up to the win
dow and looks in. Then to the door she
moves and tries every means to gain an
entrance, and when the door i> opened she
rushes right in like a frolicsome puppy dog.
Mr. Berry got the animal when she was
only a few weeks old. and has raised her.
She follows him everywhere and has abso
lutely no fear. The only human beings
she cannot tolerate are the Indians, and
especially the squaws. On occasions she
goes after the native women and chases
them. Her method of fighting the women
is to kick at them with a foreleg, then turn
and kick out with the hind hoof as if
wishing to give her fore and aft weapons
an equal chance. The reason for thi> hos
tility is said to be due to the fact that the
Indians punish moose by whipping them in
the ears. Last season Mr. Berry grew a
lot of cabbage, and when the task of feed
ing his pet confronted him in the fall he
let her loose at th.- vegetables._
