MAY BE GERMAN PROVINCE,
SHRIEKS RUDYARD KIPLING
LONDON. Sept. S.- ‘Tt is not conceiv.bD
that we should fad. If we do fail, the lights
of freedom go out over thn whole world.”
This was the statement of Rmlyar.l Kip
ling. the : uthor, in a stirring- a (hires* to a
mass meeting at Brighton, where an im
mense crowd had gathered to li ten t
speeches in support of Lord Kitchen r’s cru
sade for recruits. The meeting was ['re
sided over by the lord mayor of Brighton,
seconded by Herbert Samuel, ['resident of
the local government board. Mr. Kipling
said:
“Through no fault nor wish of ours we
are at war with Germany, the power which
owes its existence to three we!'-thought-out
wars; the power which, for the last twenty
years, has devoted itself to organizing and
preparing for this war; the power which is
now lighting to conquer the civilized world.
“For the last two generations the Ger
mans in their books, lectures, speeches and
schools have been carefully taught that
nothing less than this world conquest was
the object of their preparations and their
sacrifices. They have prepared carefully
and sacrifices greatly.
“We must have men. and men. and men,
if we. with our allies, are to check the rush
of organized barbarism.
“Have no illusions. We are dealing with
a strong and magnificently equipped enemy,
whose avowed aim is our complete destruc
tion.
“The violation of Belgium, the attack on
France and the defense against Russia are
only steps by the way. The Germans’ real
objective, as she always told us, is England,
and England's wealth, trade and world wide
possessions.
“If you assume for an instant that that
attack will be successful, England will not
be reduced, as some people say, to the rank
of a second-rate power, but we shall cease
to exist as a nation. We shall become an
outlying province of Germany, to be admin
istered with what severity German safety
and interest require.
“We arm against such a fate. We enter
into a new life in which all the facts of
war that we had put behind or forgotten
for the past hundred years have returned
to the front and test us as they tested our
fathers. It will be a long and hard road,
beset with difficulties and discouragements,
but we tread together, and we will tread
together to the end.
“Our petty social barriers have been swept
away at the outset of our mighty struggle.
All the interest of our life of six weeks ago
are dead. We have but one interest now,
and that touches the naked heart of every
man in this island and in the empire.
“If we are to win the right for ourselves
i mid for freedom to exist on earth, every
man must offer himself for that service and
that sacrifice."
YOUNG WOOD CUTTER
MEETS WITH MISHAP

SQUABBLE OVER WOOD
TO BE SETTLED IN COURT
The question as to the ownership of eight
cords of wood caused quite a little flurry
during the past few days, and as a result
Commissioner Albrecht will be called upon
to settle the controversy. Martin Webones
on Thursday last filed a replevin suit against
Earl Byers for the recovery of the wood
and the date for the hearing has been set
for October 15.
The wood in question was sold to Sam
Wilmer, and when Byers found it out he
claimed the fuel as his own and attempted
to remove it, but was restrained by the
marshal. Later B\ers is said to have re
moved the wood, with the result that We
bories started legal proceedings.
.1. C. Moody represents Webories and
Charles E. Taylor is acting for Byers.

HOW GERMANY AND AUSTRIA
WILL SPLIT UP EUROPE
I
LONDON, Sept. 27. That the kaiser has
in mind, if he should win tho ponding war, i
the acquisition of the whole North, sea
and Baltic coast, from the Strait of Dover
to the Gulf of Finland, is the expressed
opinion of dij 1 >mats here representing coun
tries in arms against the German and Aus
tro-Hungarian allies.
Their theory is that he would claim the ‘
French departments of the Pas-de-Calais, the
Not'd, Aid iines. the Meuse and Muerthe- 1
et-Moselle, Belgium and Luxemburg, the
Netherlands. Denmark, the Russian Baltic
provinces, which have already large Ger- .
man populations, and probably Russian |
Poland.
The German government did, indeed, ;
Lay that it intended to evacuate Belgium
os soon as the military situation made it :
possible, and Holland and Denmark have j
been merely alarmed without actually being !
threatened.
Judging, however, troni wnat me iainer
land’s ruler and liis advisors undoubtedly
would consider the necessities of the situa
tion, observers of continental affairs were
convinced that Belgium would remain a
German province and that means would be *
found of involving Hcllsnd and Denmark
in the conflict before the time came for \
talk of a settlement.
From France and Russia, as having fought
the Teutons, the demand for territorial in
demnity would be neutral.
In addition to this, it was taken for
granted that Austria would get Servia, Mon
tenegro, Albania and possibly the Russian
province of Bessarabia, and from Rouma
nia, which, while not yet in arms, has sym
pathized with Russia, the Moldavian coun
try.
Just as Germany declared it had no
thought of taking territory from Belgium,
Austria announced, when it declared hostili
ties, that it had designs against Servia’s
integrity.
It was considered certain, however, that
the general war would be regarded as having
wiped out these pledges.
Bulgaria, being already pro-Austrian, it
was thought might expect to remain un
molested.
Turkey abo, which, though it has thus
far remained neutral, has passively favored
Germany, was also deemed likely to con- !
tinue undisturbed.
Greece, however, as a friend of the Brit
ish-Frenck-Russian-Servian combination,
was considered likely to lose to Austria,
sooner or later, a part at least of the terri
tories it wrested from the sultan.
With Italy so far having failed to join
the Teutons in arms, though bound to
them by a treaty of alliance, it was be
lieved there would also be a stern reck
oi ing, which would probably cost at least
two or three northern provinces.
So far as Great Britain is concerned, Ger
many was thought to covet not so much
a foothold on the British isles as a share
of the nation’s colonial posse-sions.
Even in the event of a continental vic
tory it cotdd not obtain this while the
British retained control of the seas, but
supreme on the continent, it was regarded
as certain that the kaiser’s next business in
life would be to end the British naval
supremacy.
That these things would come to pass
the allies did not believe, holding not only
that they would, but for the sake of their
very existence, they absolutely must win.
The objects named, however, are. in their
opinion, the stake in the present struggle.
FANTASTIC STORY OF
ORIGIN OF THE WAR
NEW YORK, Sept. 2— A cable from
Paris to the American tells this unusual
tale:
Crown Prince William of Germany, al
ways bellicose, and not his august father,
set the nations of Europe at each other’s
throat, according to a graphic story' which
comes here from Berlin.
When the kaiser, returning to Berlin from
his cruise in Scandinavian waters, learned
the position in which his belligerent heir
and the war party had placed Germany
a position from which it was impossible to
withdraw without compromising the empire
- -he flew into a terrible rage.
Summoning the crown prince, his father
upbraided him frightfully, and at the height
of his fury actually struck his son in the
face.
So overcome was the kaiser by the force
of his passion that, exhausted, he sank
into a chair and the painful scene ended.^
While the kaiser was off the coast of Nor
way the crown prince busily co-operated
with the most aggressive militaris's. They
found a way to declare war again Russia,
which, superficially' at least, affo? ed a spe
cious pretext. Returning, the ka.ser found
it was impossible to repudiate what had
been done without humiliating himself, the
crown prince and the empire in the eyes
of his allies, and, indeed, of all Europe.
Dan McDonald, after spending the sum
mer at the new power plant at the mouth
of Otter creek, arrived at his home in this
city last Thursday.

BIG GOLDMOffiTS■
(Cordova Alaskan, September 9 >
Charley Range and George Stone, the
partners who have the three years' lay on
Bud Sergeant's claim on Skookum creek,
in the Chisana. were displaying some pretty
heavy gold nuggets today. These men were
arrivals yesterday and will spend the winter
Outside, expecting to return to the Interior
in the early spring. It is said that they
have 816,500 with them in gold dust and
that tliere is plenty more to be taken
from the same claim. Both men believe
that more valuable discoveries than ever
will be made in the Chisana, and that it
will be a good small camp for years to i
come. They report that Hamshaw has run
into some dirt richer than anything he has
yet worked. The nuggets taken out by
Range and Stone run up to three ounces in
weight and are free from quartz.
Locator Dies at Chisana
Len Gates, one of the party who made
the original discoveries in the Chisana, died
in that country on August 31. He had
been afflicted with consumption, and it i
finally got the better of him. He was buried I
with appropriate ceremonies in the Chisana. i
Gates originally went there from Dawson.
He was in Cordova last spring as one of |
the litigants of the mining cases that were
tried here before Judge Brown.
GERMAN WARSHIPS VICTIMS
OF DISASTROUS MISTAKE
LONDON, Sept. 18.—The report of a dis
aster to the German fleet in the Baltic
sea is confirmed, although it was not the
result of an encounter between the German
and Russian fleets. The trouble arose when
numerous German torpedo vessels, attended
by cruisers, hunting for passenger steamers
belonging to the enemy, mistook some of
their own ships for those of the enemy.
They attacked and were replied to by their
ships, which believed they were being at
tacked by the enemy. A lively battle en
sued, and the result was several German
cruisers badly damaged and numerous Ger
mans wounded. Cruisers carrying the
wounded have entered Kiel and bring the
story of their own disastrous error.
Mike Hayes, who has been mining on
Moore creek during the past summer, ar
rived in Flat City last Saturday.

BUTTE, Mont., Oct. 7. Sheriff Driscoll
>f Silver Bow county and the mayor of
Butte, Lewis J. Duncan, have been found
guilty of neglect of duty and removed from
diice, following a trial before District Judge
Mayers.
The court proceedings grew out of the
recent rioting and loss of life in connection
.vith the troubles of the miners here.
The Cause of the Trouble
Lewis J. Duncan, just removed from the
>ffice of mayor of Butte, U a man of excep
tional ability and character. He was serv
ing his second term as mayor, having been
fleeted on the Socialist ticket in *»piie cf
die strenuous opposition of the mine oper
ators.
Butte has been under martial law since
September 1, when the city was occupied
jy the state militia. Prior to that lime a
■eign of terror had existed, the civil authori
ses being apparently powerless or unwilling
o cope with the situation.
The trouble in Butte grew out of an at
empt on the part of the Industrial Work
ers of the World to disrupt the Butte union
>f the Western Federation of Miners,* whose
nembers were exclusively employed in the
nines. A new union was formed, called
he Butte Mine Workers’ Union, which pre
ceded to displace the d i union, and dyna
miting and shooting wck resorted to. In
he ensuing rioting th< .liners’ Union hall
vas wrecked and sevvr- ’•■ons killed. The
Umax came when the . .anion attempted
o compel by force the eia. loyes of-the vari
ius mines to desert the W .tern Federation
,nd join the new organization. Srate troops
’-.pre immediately cm for. ■ citv was
daced under uuu-.i
dosed and the. officers oFThe** new-union t>r
■ame fugitive.'. On September 5 the mili
ary official' allowed the civil court to re
iUme in order to permit of proceedings be
ng instituted against the city and county
uncials.

CREW OF THE KARLUK
RESCUED FROM ISLAND
NOME, Sept. 14,—The United States rev
rnue cutter Bear arrived yesterday from
Wrangell i.-land, bringing twelve persons,
the remainder of the crew of the Karluk,
of Stefansson's ill-starred exploration expe
dition. Those rescued include Scientist W.
L. McKinley, Chief Engineer John Munroe,
Assistant Engineer Williamson, Steward
Robert Tempieman, Assistant Steward Er
nest Chafe, Fireman F. W. Maurer. Seamen

and transferred the men next day to the
Bear.
Two scientists. B. Mamen and G. G. H.
Malloch, died n the island of Bright's dis
ease, and a iireman, George Bradley, acci
dentally shot and killed himself.
When Captain Bartlett left the island,
March 18, there was only seventy-nine days’
food left. The men managed to kill a
number of seals, some birds and three bear.
All the rescued men are more or less ill
from the diet, and have swollen feet.
Captain Bartlett wired the Canadian gov
ernment of the rescue, and, providing that
government agrees, the men will be landed
by he Bear at K-quim-tlt. Vancouver island,
near Victoria.
One half of the Karluk s crew was found
at Rogers harli r and the oth-r half a! Cape
Waring, having separated in order to obtain
food and supplies.
When the steamer approached Rogers
harbor the men fired off their guns and they
were overjoyed when a boat was sent ashore
for them.
Nothing has been heard of the two par
ties. each consisting of four men. which
out over the ice when the Karluk \vs

rf Captain Alexander Mol n. known as
the “Sea Wolf,” was found this morning in
the shallow reach of False creek, between
the Great Northern tracks and the foot of
