STORMING OF VIMY RIDGE
BY GALLANT CANADIANS
(New York Independent)
At half-past 5 o'clock on Monday morn
ing, April 9, the Canadians rose from the
trenches which they had occupied for more
than a year at the foot of Virny ridge and
charged up the slope against the labyrinth
of intrenchments that crowned the hilltops.
In September, 1915, the British had made
an equally gallant attempt to capture from
the Loos side the heights behind which Lens
is hid, while the French attacked the Vi my
ridge, but through bad management of the
higher command and the failure of ammu
nition at the critical moment they were
driven back with frightful losses front the
trenches they had gained. But this time
there were no such blunders as lost the
battle of Loos. The new British army has
mastered the new art of war. The artillery
had prepared a path for the attack by cleai
pg away the barbed wire entanglements and
smashing in the concrete caissons. The field
had been accurately mapped from the bird’s
eye views of the British airmen. The cur
tain of fire was lifted just at the right time
as the troops advanced, so there was no
delay and no shooting of comrades, as had
happened before in this field. The steel
clad tanks lumbered out from Arras on ra
diating lines, pushed through barbed wire
barricades, scrambled over trenches and
craters, and wandered through village
streets heedless of shrapnel and rifle ball.
The trenches were neiu uy
with Prussians kept in reserve. But the
British guns had placed a curtain of fire
behind the front lines so when the Ba
varians sent up their green rockets as sig
nals of distress, no help could come to them
from the rear. When the Canadians reached
them they surrendered with unprecedented
docility and begged first for their lives and
next for bread, for some of them had been
without food supplies for days. At the end
{ the first day the Canadians had cap
tured three lines of intrenchments and three
thousand prisoners. Before the week was
over they had some fifteen thousand prison
ers, two hundred guns and large stores of
ammunition. Among the guns were eight
of the eight-inch howitzers and twenty
eight of the 5.9-inch howitzers. Besides
these, 250 machine guns were taken. Many
of the guns were in working order and the
shells stacked beside them were at once
used against the retiring Germans.
As soon as Vimy ridge was taken the
British troops could overlook the city of
Lens and the coal fields and factories that
lie roundabout. By the following Sunday
Lens was reached and the enemy cleared
out of a semi circle east of Arras to a dis
tance of five to seven miles. The Germans
have fallen back to what they call the
“Wotan line," which runs north and south
about eight miles east of Arras. The sec
tion extending from this to St. Quentin is
called the “Siegfried line," and the southern
section, extending down to the Aisne, is
called the “Albrecht line.” The three sec
tions together constitute what the British
call the “Hindenberg line.”

CHINESE PRESIDENT’S WORDS
WHICH PRESAGED DOWNFALL
As throwing light on the recent eruption
in China, which resulted in the practical
overthrow of the young republic, and the
possible re-establishment of the monarchy
in that country, the folowing Associated
Press dispatch from Peking, dated April 26,
has a peculiar interest at this time:
“Sun Yat-sen’s effort to prevent parlia
ment from severing diplomatic relations
with Germany has provoked a strong disap
proval from the Chinese press. He has been
denounced as highly presumptious in send
ing a dispatch to Premier Lloyd George of
Greet Britain, urging that lie require Brit
ish officials to cease their efforts to force
China into the entente.
“A similar message which Sun T at-sen
sent to all the members cf the Chinese
house of representatives and senate also
has been widely criticized. His statement
that China’s entrance, or threatened en
trance, into the European war with the
entente might provoke a slaughter of Mo
hammedans has been declared absurd.
“Sun Yat-sen’s influence recently has
waned very greatly in China. His efforts to
collect money which he alleges was ex
pended in the Yunnan revolution of last
year have been extremely unpopular, and
he has been generally denounced by the
i press. In his message to the members of
parliament Sun Yat-sen wrote:
“ ‘Those who advocate the advisability
of associating ourselves with the entente
powers for reasons of profit are often heard
to say that as soon as China enters the
war she will at once become a first-class
power, and that there will be no more dif
ficult diplomatic problem for her to solve.
But my opinion is that the elevation of a
weak country to the status of a first-class
power depends entirely upon its own na
tional stamina.
“ ‘After matured consideration and ccre
ful study I have come to the conclusion that
two kinds of trouble will arise from the
country’s abandonment of neutrality: (1)
The possibility of a blind anti-foreign move
ment, and (2) the disaffection of the Mus
sulmans in this country.
“ ‘The anti-foreign feeling lies hid in the
bosom of most Chinese people, and it will
break out any time when there is some
thing to provoke it. In the twinkle of an
eye we shall see once more a Boxer upris
ing in our midst.
“The Mohammedans in this country form
a very important factor, and their influ
ence can neither be ignored nor under
estimated. If war is declared upon Turkey
the Mohammedan fanatics here will cer
tainly rise against the government for the
defense of their religion. When this hap
pens the country may date her history of
great disorder and national extinction from
that day.”
GREWSOME U-BOAT STORY
A London dispatch tells of a German
submarine crew somewhere off the Irish
coast which attacked a British trawler.
Chased by a patrol boat, the submarine
tied. Suddenly it slackened speed. Then
a half dozen wild-eyed men on the U-boat
■an on deck, each lifting his hands in the
ittitude of surrender. The crew tried to
explain, all talking wildly at once, that
they had killed their officers and wanted to
e themselves up. Officers from the pa
•ol boat boarded the submarine and found
every officer dead. The crew had rebelled
against putting themselves to further risk
in the hazardous game of submarine war
fare.

POET OF THE KUSKOKWIM
RECALLS EXCITING INCIDENT
C. Edward Cone, known to all Pioneer
readers as the “Bard of the Kuskokwim,”
many of whose poetic and prose produc
tions have found place in these columns,
has been heard from at Susitna, and the
Valdez Miner has the following reminiscence
of the well-known old-time prospector and
poet:
“The return of Mr. Cone recalls the ex
citing times in the days of 1907, with the
miners’ meetings anil murders at Susitna.
“Cone, who was the discoverer of Poor
man creek, left the creek with a poke of
$3,000. He stopped at Kinney’s roadhouse,
and, as was customary, laid his poke on a
shelf back of the stove. In a couple of
hours he was ready to resume his journey,
and upon looking for his poke found it was
missing. Kinney claimed to know nothing
about it. Cone left immediately for Susitna,
where a miners’ meeting was called and an
investigation started. Every man in that
■ction was accounted for except two men
ho had left the day previous for the Out
side. These men were intercepted and
searched, when they voluntarily returned
to Susitna to take part ni the proceedings.
The Susitna meeting left in a body for the
Kinney roadhouse, and there continued its
investigations. Kinney stoutly denied any
knowledge of the poke, but the evidence
was so strong against him, as being the
only man having an opportunity to get the
gold, that the meeting decided to use force.
Kinney was told to either give up the gold
or to malee his will. Being unable to sat
isfy the miners of his innocence, Kinney
had McManus write his will, whereby he
left everything he had to Rampart Nell,
who danced her way to fame in the early
davs of the Nome rush.
“A scaffold was hastily erected anrl tue
rope adjusted. When the noose was placed
around Kinney’s neck he was given a last
■hance to tell where the gold was hidden.
In his strenuous efforts to convince the
committee Kinney tipped over the box upon
which he was standing and nearly strangled
before he could be cut down. This brought
up a fine question. Having lived through
one hanging, was he to be hung again ? It
was finally decided to bring him to Susitna
and turn him over to the commissioner.
This was done, and Kinney was taken to
Valdez, where a little later he was tried
and acquitted.
“The trial at Valdez was sensational in
the extreme. After his acquittal Kinney
brought action against the miners’ meeting
and recovered SI,500 damages, which was
never collected, as the men he sued had no
■ roperty which could be seized, and the
matter finally passed into history and was
forgotten.
“Within three months after the acquittal
of Kinney two members of the miners’
meeting were killed. Purchase, the husband
of Rampart Nell, was shot at
his roadhouse at Knik, and Dunn was shot
in his roadhouse at Susitna. Little has
ever been known as to the cause of these
killings. In both cases the only witnesses
present were women, and both assailants
were acquitted on the plea of self-defense.
“Later Rampart Nell married the man
who killed her husband, a young man by
he name of Johnny Kashnevnikoff, and left
for the Slates with him, and their where
abouts are at present unknown. The slayer
of Dunn. Ralph Williams, was also acquit
ted and has since dropped out of sight.”

JUDGE LANDIS DEFENDS
SELECTIVE CONSCRIPTION
The principal speakor at a notable patri
otic meeting at Galesburg, II!., on April li
hist was Judge Landis, the famous federal
jurist. The Chicago Herald’s account of
the meeting was as follows:
“Federal Judge Landis, interrupted in a
patriotic address at the Sixth Regiment
armory tonight, stepped a near riot when
half a hundred persons in the audience
threatened violence to the man who ques
tioned his remarks. The white-haired jurist
was telling about Belgium and what Ger
man militarism accomplished there. He
painted a picture of ravaged women, towns
destroyed, food burned, whole families mur
dered. ‘Well, that’s war,’ said a man in the
center of the hall.
“‘Wif!’ shouted the judge; ‘you just
come up here and let your neighbors look
at you.’
“ ‘Throw him out!’ yelled some.
“‘Kick him out!’ yelled others.
"As men started for the would-be heckler,
Judge Landis stepped from the platform
down into the audience.
“‘Just a moment!' he shouted. ‘This is
my meeting. Let that man stay here. And
if anyone needs to stay he does. And fur
thermore, I never had any trouble getting
along with a battle-scarred veteran under
the influence of stale beer.’
"Cheers broke the tension and the judge
resumed his talk. He addressed 5,000 per
sons—the largest crowd in the history of
Galesburg—-and 3,000 persons more were
turned away. The demonstraton at the
close continued ten minutes. It was the
town’s answer to his question: ‘Are you
in favor of conscription?’
“ ‘The volunteer system,’ said Judge Lan
dis, ‘puts the best men in the trenches and
leaves the slackers behind. Remember, we
are fighting the mightiest military power in
the world, a country that left a record in
Belgium that broke all the records of in
famy in history. You can’t fight this war
with a check book, and don’t get the im
pression that the French and English have
this foe beaten.’
"f or the men marrying to avoio mili
tary service he expressed infinite disgust.
He said he had visited the county building
in Chicago and had watched the line ‘so
long it even stopped traffic.’
“ ‘The great majority of them,’ he de
clared, ‘had degeneracy stamped all over
their faces. I thought at first I pitied the
women the most, but later I discovered I
pitied the men—for marrying a woman
that would marry them. Think of the hy
brid progeny to come of those saffron-hued
relationships.’
“He upbraided the men who conveniently
joined a religion opposed to war—the pa
cifists who, he said, regarded the kaiser as
a missionary of peace.
“ ‘Spend ten billion dollars if necessary
to protect the honor of the women of the
country,’ he added, ‘but get busy and pre
pare to spend it now. Victory for us means
the scrap heap for the crowned heads. It
means an end to the midnight diplomacy.
It will also mean an end to the co-partner
ship that makes God the junior partner.’ ”
He—Is she a widow? Hee—Or a divorcee?
He Hee—I call her a Peach o’ Reno.—
Chapparall.
DETAILS OF SHOOTING
AT BETHEL IN FEBRUARY
Some idea of the difficulty of communi
cation in Western Alaska may be gained
from the following extract from the Valdez
newspaper regarding the shooting affray
which occurred at Bethel, on the Kusko
kwim river, last February. This is the first
detailed new3 of the occurrence that has
reached here. It will be remembered that
The Pioneer at the time printed the state
ment of a traveler to the effect that a man
had been killed in a drunken quarrel at
Bethel, but outside of the bare fact no de
tails could be procured. The slayer had
gone to Nushagak to give himself up, and
as there is no telegraph in that section,
nothing more was learned. It appears that
not until navigation was opened were the
circumstances made known to the authori
ties at Valdez, which is the headquarters of
the court for the Third division. The fol
lowing account is from the Valdez Miner:
Advices received by the clerk ot tne
court from United States Commissioner J.
S. Heron of Bethel state that Axel Loving
of Apokak was shot and killed at that place
on February 16 by Charles E. Jacobson, and
that Jacobson had been sent to Nushagak as
a prisoner to appear before the grand jury
here; and that Jack Boyd had also been
sent to the same place to answer to the
charge of attempting to kill, and John Ode
had been sent as a detained witness.
“According to the stories told of the oc
currence, Loving, Boyd and Ode went to
the cabin occupied by Jacobson and his wife,
taking with them a can of home-brewed
hootch. This was consumed and more was
■nought in. Some hootch was offered to
Mrs. Jacobson, to which Jacobson objected,
id a dispute arose, followed by a report
to force, in which Jacobson threw Boyd
down. Jacobson was then attacked by Lov
ing and compelled to release Boyd, after
which he was attacked by both Boyd and
Loving.
“Jacobson finally secured a shotgun, which
he used as a club to good advantage in
driving off his assailants. Ode then pre
vailed upon Loving and Boyd to go home
to their cabins, not far distant. He re
mained at Jacobson’s, while Mrs. Jacobson
started for the native village, a short dis
tance away. A few minutes later Mrs. Ja
cobson was heard to scream, and looking
out of the window, Jacobson and Ode saw
Loving and Boyd, one armed with a, re
volver and the other with a .30-30 rifle,
beating the woman.
“They went out of doors, when Loving
and Boyd left the woman and started to
ward them. When within a few feet Boyd
fired a shot, presumably at Ode, and the
latter 'went up to him and took the gun
away from him. Jacobson returned to the
house and Loving followed him in. Jacob
sen says when they got into the house
Loving fired a shot at him and he returned
the fire with a shotgun. Loving staggered
out of the door and fell in the snow, dead.
Both Ode and Boyd stated that they heard
the two shots, but do not rememDer wnicn
was fired first. Jacobson then went outside
and Boyd again seized his rifle, but Ode
had ejected the cartridges. The body of
Loving was then taken into the house and
Ode took Boyd back to his own cabin.
“About two hours later, or after dark,
while Jacobson, his wife and son and Ode
were sitting within the cabin, a rifle shot
was heard and a bullet came through the
cabin window, burying itself in the opposite
wall. Ode went outside, but in the darkness
could see no one. He went over to Boyd’s
cabin and found him sitting up in bed.
He asked him what he had been doing, and
he said, ‘Nothing.’ The next morning
tracks were found leading from the cabin
■o within a few feet of Jacobson’s residence.
Boyd left that morning and went to Bethel
*o inform the authorities of the killing,
after which he started to return. Jacobson
also went to Bethel to give himself up, and
after telling his story a warrant was also
issued for Boyd and he was brought back.
“Bethel is in the Second judicial division,
and is the nearest town to the scene of the
killing. The place where the shooting oc
curred is in the Third division, and Jacob
son and Boyd were held to the grand jury
by the commissioner and sent to Nushagak,
the nearest point in the Third division. Ode
was also sent along as a detained witness.
The parties concerned are all fishermen.
