SEWARD, ALASKA, FRIDAY. JANUARY 14, 1916.
While people sympathize with small nationalities for the treatment
meted out to them in the European war they forget the small nationalities
and the weak nationalities which are compelled to tight in the armies of
countries whici they hate and which have held them in subjection. Austria
has compelled its Slav subjects and its Roumanian and Polish subjects to
u.ve their lives for it. Russia murders the Jews one day and sends them
into trenches the next day to die for a cause which they abhor. Great
Britain drags its subjects from India and France drags up the Algerians to
pour out their Hood like slaves for the masters who have enslaved them.
Germany makes the Scandinavians of Schleswig and the French of Alsace
!a\ down their lives. Just imagine yourself a poor wretch who happens to
be a subject of a great power but not of the nationality ol that power and
think of yourstif on pain of death being forced into the trenches to meet
death in another form or mutilation. The Romans of old when they sent
the Christians into the amphitheatre to tight wild beasts were hardl> more
i ruei than the powers which drag men out to tight and die in a quarrel which
is none of their own.
The killing of the seventeen Americans by the Mexicans was a more
deliberate crime against the United States than the killing of all the Anjeri
v uns who went down on submarined ships. The drowning of Americans "as
incident connected with the main purpose of sinking an enemy ship while
the shooting of the Americans was murder, ami not only murder but a deliber
ate attack on the dignity of this country. The murder was perpetrated as a
direct and premeditated crime against all America and all American citizens.
The story of the massacre of the seventeen men shows how easily the passions
created by warfare can wash away the veneer of civilization.

The granting of the final certificates to the four local homesteaders is
one of the facts indicating the desire of the administration to hasten the
development »f the territory. There is reason to believe that Chairman
Kdes of the Engineering commission advocated the granting of the certifi
cates when he went back in Washington. Let us hope he will be equally
successful in ether and greater recommendations and there is absolutely no
reason why he should not be. ranting to the contrary notwithstanding.
JUDGE BROWN’S DOMINION
The “magnificent” distances of Al
aska are shown in the following from
the Seatle Post-Intelligencer: Fred
erick Brown, United States district
judge for the Third Alaska disrict,
with headquarters at Valdez, is a
guest at the Frye on his way to Ix>s
Angeles to rejoin Mrs. Brown, who
went there two months ago for herj
health. Judge Brown’s position is un
usual inasmuch as he exercises judi- j
cial sway over about a fifth of the
circumference of the earth, or a 5,000
mile strip east and west. His juris-j
diction extends as far west as the I
ISOth meridian, or nearly to Japanese!
waters. Needless to say he does not
hold court at either extremes, but
during the summer months he comes
close to it .as he then embarks on the
revenue cutter McCulloch and holds a
floating court all along the Alaskan
coast and among the Aleutian islands.

VIGIL OF ARMED SETTLERS
ENDS WITH LAND OPENING
IMPERIAL, Cal., Jan. 3.—Seven *
thousand acres of land in the Imperial j
Valley were thrown open for entry by
the government today, following one •
of the most remarkable sieges on
record.
Two months ago hundreds of claim
ants came upon the land, determined:
I to camp on desirable locations until
filing time. For weeks the tensej
situation has existed. Bearded men,,
rifles ready, walked sentry-go on their
chosen territory, ready to make it hot
for trespassers.
At night scores of bonfires dotted
the landscape and in the glow from
the flames the settlers could be seen I
preserving their vigilance. Several
men bulit cabins. On account of con
flicting claims, the government may
have many legal skeins to unravel.
