THE DUTY OF THE UNITED STATES
Patriotic Americans, irrespective of where their sympathies lie in
the present European war, will deplore the strained relations wmch
at present exist between the United States and Germany. Should actual
hostilities result, the regret will be general that the United States shou.c
to a certain extent be involved in what might be teimcd internecine
warfare. Yet the United Stales, the most powerful of the neutial
nations, has a duty to perform to humanity and to civilization which
must not be lost sight of, and in spite of our love of peace, it is not be
lievable that the great republic will shirk an obvious duty in order to
preserve a shameful peace.
Early in the war, when it became evident Wat me various oemgei
ents intended to show an utter disregard of treaty obligations and in
ternational regulations, the United States, as in duty bound, protested.
The plea of the warring nations that new methods of warfare had made
obsolete previously agreed upon regulations as to bombardments ol
unfortified cities, sinking of unarmed ships and the use of air craft,
was coupled with the implied interrogation, “What are you going to do
about it?” Other neutral nations also protested, and were likewise dis
regarded. As long as the rights of the United States were not invaded
there seemed to be nothing tnat could be done, but when those lights
were lightly cast aside, when American lives and American proper.j
were ruthless!'’ destroyed in defiance of all international law, then
it became a question of taking action not only to safeguard American
interests, but those of other neutral nations, not only in the Oiesent
war, but at ail future times. To remain silent was to stultify ourselves
as a nation and to admit the barbarous doctrine that “might makes
right.” To state that American citizens and American vessels had no
business in the disturbed area was to take the cowardly position that
we had no duty except to ourselves. The Springfield Republic puts the
situation tersely as follows:
Tin iifticult problem now before the government of the Uni ed States is to defend
the hw of nations. especially in the sanctions and safeguards it throws about unoffending
i ations remaining at peace,' while it avoids the pitfalls which would plunge it into war.
Disagreeable a- the duty is, the duty of protest against all important infringements upon
neutral rights cannot be evaded, even with safety. As specific cases of violation atise,
the government at \\ ashimcon must act in order to keep clear and consistent its record
of neutral protests. Such a course can be fobra.-.i without warlike reprisals, inasmuch as
diplomatic protests may properly stand as the due notification to the belligerents that then
course has the American government’s disapproval, and even condemnation, and may
properly form the basis of claims for damages after the restoration of peace. Thus we
may prevent the final hardening into the law of nations of precedents that carry civilized
warfare back to the vicious practices of the Middle Ages.
TIMELY ADVICE
At this critical period in the history of the Lmted States nothing is
more irritating to the sensibilities of the patriotic American citizen than
the exaltation of theories of government entirely foreign to that ot our
constitution and ideals. The conception of “government of the people,
for the people and by the people” is as truly American today as it was
when uttered by the great Liberator half a century ago. The propa
ganda which seeks to instill in American minds such sentiments as t!w
following, uttered by a German professor in an American magazine,
will not meet with a sympathetic response:
I verily believe that ii is impossible for an American to under Mod the feelings
which ;i loyal German subject, particularly of the conservative sort, entertains toward the
Mate and its authority. That the state should be anything more than an institution for
the protection and safeguarding of the happiness of individuals; that it might be con
s dered a spiritual, collective personality, leading a life of its own. beyond and above the
life of the individuals—these are thoughts utterly foreign to the American mind, and
very near and dear to the heart of a German.
No one will question the right of German subjects to entertain the
ideals of government outlined in the above quotation; but all lovers of
American liberties and institutions will deplore the circulation of such
ideals and their glorification in free America. The sentiments are so
antagonistic to our system of government that not alone good taste is
offended, but their flaunting in the faces of American citizens may well
be regarded at this time as entirely unpatriotic and injurious to the
nation. The following timely article from the New York World is weli
worth consideration at the present moment:
Representative Bartholdi and Ins associates are doing Germany no good, and they
are doing themselves much harm, by their uernicious pro-German propaganda. When
they threaten to carry G* rmaiiv’s CL.se to the polls and make the German cause an issue
in American politics they are [.laying with dynamite. The American people will not t< ler
:■such a campaign of alienism, and the chief sufferers will be the so-called German
Ameriri ns who plot it.
G-TiMLiiy i> ih*- only country engaged in this war which has officially undertaken to
in; late American opinion. It is the only belligerent, which maintains a lobby in the
United States to incite public sentiment against the other belligerents with which we are
fiiendly. The only foreign element in this country which is assailing the President of the

United States and seeking to bulldoze the government of the United States is the German
element, and that sort of dung can be easily overdone.
Long after this war is over Mr. Bartholdt and his associates will have to live in this
country. Few of them will voluntarily return to Germany to help pay the cost of the
conllict. Their real interests are all in the United States, and the sooner they reconcile
themselves to being Americans the better. Whatever their sentimental attachments to
the fatherland may be, a German victory could not help them and a German defeat
j could not harm them. When they war against the President of the United States, the
congress of the United States, and the general welfare of the United States, they are
warring against themselves.
It is u pity that Carl Schurz is not alive to preach a little wholesome common sense
to German Americans who have succumbed to the pan-German propaganda, and who are
following such blind leaders as Representative Bartholdt. He could have told them that
when they undertake to organize a. pan German political party in the United States they
ire inviting reprisals that are not likely to cease when a treaty of peace is signed.
The American people will not indefinitely submit to alien meddling in their domestic
affairs. They will not countenance the sacrifice of American interests to foreign privi
lege. They will not allow the peace and the security of the United States to be jeop
; ardized by a foreign propaganda for the benefit of a foreign ration that has involved
itself in a world war. If Mr. Bartholdt and his associates do not understand this, we are
sorry for them, because they are piling up trouble for themselves.
This country once had an alien law on its statute hooks. It might be very reluctant
to enact a similar statute, hut every day German Americans such as Richard Bartholdt
are breaking down their reluctance.
“No royal tyrant ever dared to attempt to gam his ends by dyna
miting innocent people, as did the trades unions in Los Angeles, or to
starve a whole population, as did the trades-unionists in London,” says
Price Collier in his excellent volume, “Germany and the Germans.”
Collier’s book was published in 1913 At that time it was inconceiv
able to most people that in the year of grace 1915 so-called civilized
nations would not only be doing these very things, but exulting in their
successful accomplishment. Great Britain has woven a network of
steel around the German coast to prevent the distribution of food to
the German nation, and the Germans are engaged in the destruction of
the enemy’s merchant vessels, regardless of the fact that they carry
non-combatants, women and children, in the hope that terror may
compel the withdrawal of all shipping from the British isles. Air craft
drop bombs promiscuously on the civilian population of the different
countries, warships bombard unfortified coast towns, causing death
and destruction to the people, and poisonous gas bombs are used on
the battlefield. And the strangest part of all this is that sympathizers
with the different nations applaud their savage doings or regard them
as a natural consequence of war.
One hears more definite news of the many alleged “strikes” in
Alaska from the Outside newspapers than from the territorial press.
It is nothing unusual to see in the Seattle newspapers, under a Fair
banks date, tales of rich finds in the Tolovana and other districts near
to the Tanana metropolis which cannot be confirmed by a reading of
the Fairbanks publications. And now Cordova has branched out in
this line with reference to the Chisana. A dispatch of April 29 in the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer tells of a “rich strike reported on the claim
of A. McGuire in the Chisana. . . . The yield was $18 to a pan.
He brought $50 worth of dust to Cordova and one nugget worth $2.”
The lucky prospector sold his claim for $100,000, and “received a
small cash payment.” Really, the man must have been a philan
thropist. Think of getting $18 pans and receiving “a small cash pay
ment!” There is not a prospector m Alaska who could have been
jarred loose from such a claim wnth an offer of all the wealth of the
Rockefellers. The mere pleasure of mining $18 pans would have been
sufficient compensation for his find. And what self-denial he displayed
in only taking $50 worth of dust to Cordova!
To those who have held to the belief that the Industrial Workers o!
the World, or “I. W. W.,” as it is generally known, was a labor organ
! ization, or trade union, the recent statement ol William D. Haywood
! before the industrial relations commission will come as a revelation.
The head of the I. W. W. was definite and frank in his statement that
i the organization advocated “a revolution to destroy the present mdus
i trial and political system and to establish an era of individual freedom.”
1 He would abolish government by states or by federal jurisdiction, and
I said that he didn’t care how it would be accomplished. This was the
| program of the I. \Y . W. and they were affiliated with no party of poli
ticians, Socialist or otherwise. He said they proposed to the member
ship to accomplish their aims as best they could—that was for them
to decide. In other words, this organization is an out-and-out body of
anarchists. Years ago they set out to destroy the trades unions, and
now they propose to increase the scope of their activities by including
government. _
Reports from Valdez state that B. F. Millard, territorial senator and
local mining man, probably will be a candidate on the Republican
ticket next year for delegate to congress from Alaska. Friends of Mr.
Millard state that he has confided to them his pollical ambitions. When
asked concerning his plans to become a candidate Mr. Millard would
make no statement for publication. He is reported to have said that
the Republicans of Alaska are certain to win at the next election, and
| as Delegate Wickersham has not affiliated himself with the party, he
does not think he will be nominated by it. Still, there does not appear
j to have been any perceptible demand that Mr. Millard sacrifice ftimseif
| upon the political altar.
UNREASONING ANIMOSITY
REBUKED BY GERMAN
BERLIN, May 14. -Discussing certain
statements made recently, especially as re
gards England, the Frankfurter Zeitung re
marks: What sense is there in German pro
fessors declaring that they will no longer
collaborate with this or that institution in
England? Letters and art have always ap
peared as the common possession of civ-,
ilized peoples, and does not one injure one’s
own people and culture bv sitting on the
stool of isolation end by breaking off in
tellectual intercourse?
For months, the German organ continues,
we have experienced all sorts of wonderful
letter-headings and forms of salutation and
similar things which are fundamentally un
German. While hymns of hate may spring
from genuine internal excitement, saluta
tions such as the celebrated “God punish
England” are not only fundamentally the
atrical and lacking in taste, but are quite
ridiculous, because they propagate a feeling,
even though only superficially, which is not
compatible with the future co-operation of
peoples which, nevertheless, must come to
pass at some time. We are deep in war and
we have to summon all our strength to beat
cur enemies, and especially subdue our most
dangerous enemy, England; but the war
must be followed by a peace which will in
sure quiet and assured work. This work
must be performed in conjunction with other
peoples whom we cannot exterminate, who
will renew their intercourse with us as we
with them. The war has now been pro
ceeding for eight months, and the end of it
is not yet in sight. But the passions with
*,hich it is being waged-require purification,
since, happily, times of peace are continu
ous and times of war only interruptions.

Steamship Company, with the approval of
the underwriters, to a Japanese company
to float the big ship, with the provision that
if she was not floated within fifteen days
there would be no cost, otherwise the sal
vage company was to receive $100,000.

CELEBRATION OF DISASTER
OFFENDS BRITISH MINISTER
RIO DE JANEIRO. May 14.—The Brit
ish minister has entered a protest to the
Brazilian government against the frequent
pro-German demonstrations which have oc
curred in the Brazilian capital since the Lu
sitania disaster. Closely following the re
ceipt of the news, thousands of Germans
and pro-German sympathizers residing in
the city, including many persons high in
Brazilian official and commercial circles,
paraded the streets cheering wildly at the
success of the Germans in sinking the Lu
sitania. Demonstrations of a like nature
have occurred at intervals, and are the
occasion of the British protest.

PLACER MINES EXCLUDED
FROM COMPENSATION ACT
The workmen’s compensation act, which
passed the recent territorial legislature and
became law, exempts every class of mining
except quartz from its operation. It pro
vides a scale of benefits for death, injuries
and disability up to $6,000.
Representative Getchell of Nome asked
thal placers be eliminated. “This bill was i
demanded by quartz operators and quartz 1
miners; they evidently want, it, but we,
don't," he said. Representative Heid of
Juneau declared the house was losing sight
of the object of the bill. “Do not the wid
ows, orphans and other dependents of
maimed or killed workmen need compensa- 1
tic:.!, whether they he dependents of a placer
or a quartz miner?" he asked. On the
question of exempting placers nine members
of the house voted affirmatively and five
against the motion.

BY ENGINEER THOMSON
Seattle, May 10. R. H. Thomson,
funner city engineer of Seattle, has been
awarded a verdict for §15.000 against the
Seattle Times and A. J. Blethen for dam
ages, the result of libel by the jury which |
1 rie: 1 the case in Judge Mitchell Gilliam’s
department of the King county superior
court.
The verdict is the result of a long-con
tinued personal warfare the Times has con
ducted against R. H. Thomson. For many
years Thomson was city engineer of Se
attle, sud later he has been consulting en
gineer for other municipalities and other in
stitutions. Thomson is rich, and has stated
that he brought suit against the Times for
the purpose of vindicating his record rather
than for the remuneration that might result
from the verdict of a jury.
SEATTLE’S FISHING TRADE
TAKEN BY PRINCE RUPERT
Prince Rupert, the Pacific coast terminal
of the newly-completed Grank Trunk Pa
cific railway, is to become the principal
fishing center of the Canadian Northwest,
and in time, it is said, will surpass Van
couver and Seattle as a shipping point for
X rth Pacific fishermen.
The Dominion government has recently
: .-red an order in council which grants
the petition of Prince Rupert for increased
fi.-hing privileges and will have an impor
:;•:ir bearing upon the industry in the whole
of the North Pacific, more especially in Brit
ish Ci lor,-bin and Alaska.
The new order, according to official ad
vices, wi 1 permit all foreign bottoms to sell
their fish in Prince Rupert to Canadian deal
ns. who will assume the bonding regula
tions. The boats will also be permitted to
purchase supplies and sign crews in Prince
Rupert.
The order, it is pointed out. will encour
age the development of the industry in Brit -
i:-l, Columbia, somewhat at the expense of
both Vancouver and Seattle, which are far
ther awa y from the fishing grounds. Prince
Rimer:, which is near the grounds, will be
able to send its fish direct to Eastern mar
kets over the Grand Trunk Pacific road.
Last year 70,000.000 pounds of halibut
were caught in the Pacific, most of it, sav
the reports, on the northern banks. Of this
about 10,000,000 pounds were shipped
through Vancouver. 10,000.000 through
Prince Rupert, and 50.000,000 pounds
through Seattle. Under the new order in
council it is believed that practically all of
this ,-#tch will be shipped through Prince
Rupert, which will thus become at once n
.-re-1 fishing center, where the fleet will
have its headquarters and purchase its sup

RETURN OF FRANK MANLEY,
WELL-KNOWN MINING MAN
Frank Manley, one of the best-known min
ing men of the North, was among Tuesday s
,passengers from the Outside on the Pranio
R'll. Mr. Manley was accompanied by his
wife, and brought in a mining outfit with
which to operate his Willow creek property.
He left for the creeks immediately after
making arrangements for the transportation
of his material.
Quite a little interest was created when
the outfit was unloaded, as it comprised
among other necessaries for the proper
equipment of an up-to-date placer camp in
Alaska a milch cow and calf and several
score of chickens. The livestock was greatly
admired by many persons to whom such
things have become merely a memory.
Mr. and Mrs. Manley were heartily greeted
by their many friends.
AN OLD FRIEND HEARD FROM
A recent issue of Stroller White’s White
horse Star contains an account of a social
function in that city at. which the “music
was furnished by Greenlee and Peyser, of
which firm the former is by no means the
silent partner.”
When it. is recalled that the Greenlee men
tioned is no other than the “Ragtime Kid,
George Greenlee, who engaged himself to
The Pioneer some two years ago as an ex
pert mechanic, but who left the city on ac
count of sickness of relatives, the remarks
of the sage of Whitehorse about “silent part
ners” will be appreciated. Travelers from
the Outside by way of Whitehorse and Daw
son who arrived this week report that the
versatile “Kid” is employed on the river
packet Sarah in the dual capacity of musi
cian and waiter, and adds greatly to the
joy of traveling.

ENGINEER OF CORWIN
SUSTAINS TERRIBLE INJURY
(Nome Nugget, May 17 i
The good ship Corwin is in all probability
on the last stage of the long journey to
Nome, according to a wireless received by
the Nugget from Fred Weiler this morn mg.
The message states that the Corwin arrived
at Unalaska yesterday morning, being
forced to put into that port owing to a
sad accident which befell Engineer Jackling,
whereby he lost a leg through falling into
the machinery during the passage of the
vessel from Seward. It is stated that rough
weather was encountered while en route to
Unimak pass, and during the height of the
storm Jackling lost his footing and fell into
the rapidly moving engines, his limb being
almost severed from his body. On entering
the pass Captain Healy immediately headed
for Unalaska, and on arrival Jackling was
placed in the hospital. The accident caused
a gloom of sadness to fall over the passen
gers on the little vessel, but with the
usual kindly sympathy which is character
istic of the people of the North, they imme
diately started a subscription for the benefit
ol the sufferer, and the sum of $200 was
raised and presented to the injured man.

MARSHALL’S ELOQUENNCE
LOOSENED BY EXPOSITION
Vive President Thomas R. Marshall, after
spending five days at th< San Francisco ex
! position, indited the following message to
l the people of the nation, containing his ap
preciation of the great lair:
j “The stages of my life seem to have been
! marked by national expositions. My young
' manhood began with the Centennial. Ma
luritv was marked by the Columbian and the
Louisiana Purchase. And now the sunset
years bring me to this marvel of the re
public upon the shores of the sunset seas.
“So often have I thought I saw the Pil
i lars of Hercule- inscribed with ‘ne plus ultra’
i that I he.'it:.: to say that I have reached
j them. But they who builded this Panama
I Pacific exposition were m* wise in adopting
! all the good features and avoiding those
j which marred the preceding ones that to
, me it seems as near perfection as the mind
and hand of man have ever wrought.
“Whoever can. even at a sacrifice of some
; thing which for the moment appears neces
j sary, should come to tee a real work of art
i never equaled even by a mirage.
“If there be anyone in America with a
thirst, for knowledge and for beauty and a
longing for a liberal education, such an one
can here obtain it.
“This is the university of the world. It.
has a chair fully endowed to meet the wants
and needs of each. The eye. the ear. the
mind, the heart, the soul—each may have
its horizon here enlarged.
“I came to bear a message. I remained
| to become a student. I leave the feet of
this Gamaliel of all expositions with regret.
Joe Woods, who is operating on Donlin
j creek in association with Jack Smeaton and
i partners, was in the city Monday for hte
I purpose of purchasing supplies for the camp.
