YUKON FAVORS
RAILROAD ON
LARGL SCALE
The project for constriction of a
railway to connect the Yukon with a
transcontinental line of Canada, n
cently laid before the Yukon Develop
ment League , has attacted wide no
tice and favorable comrrvnt in Yukon
territory.
The proposed line sought wouM
feed Atlin. Whitehorse and Dawson
and Alaskan railways, would form
part of the northern net that couU
deliver food, freight and troops * *
ever} northern point. It s extension
across Bering straits to a connection
with the Siberian line, often sugfe>*r
ed ir the past, is also regarded PS
feasible. The building of these la t j
links in the communication system of
tiie northern zone, it is believed, wou d i
give Alaska and the Yukon an impe -
us of development such as no other!
project could bring.
Arguments, from other aspects, a ?
ad\; nced by those favoring the pro
ject and backing the movement to
bring action by the Dominion. The-e
include a large possible developmer t
of the placer fields, the vast copp»*r
fields of White river. Whitehorse an!

Whitehorse and the belt between, the
newly begun hard-properties of the
Atlin district, the Mayo silver region
md coal districts. No estimate of co>;
»\>r the Yukon railroad has been
made . but it is known that those in
terested— which includes the enti**°
territory— figure the probable cost in
millions of dollars.

EXQUISITE SPECIMEN OF
PRUSSIAN JUNKERDOM IS
FOUND IN BREAD .LINF
THE HAGUE, April 1— By A.
1*.— Baron Von der Lancken, former y
German Civil Governor of Belgium,
sought refuge in* Holland when the
Germans retreated from Belgium. Von
der Lancken was the man to whom
the American Minister, Brand Whit
lock, delivered his vain appeal to spare
the life of Edith Cuvell, the English
nurse who was executed by the Ger
mans in October , li)15, for aiding the
British. French and Belgian soldiers
escape from Belgium. Von der Lan
cken then told Hugh Gibson, Secre
tary of the American Legation, that
the sentence imposed by the Military
Governor on Miss CaVell wfcs final an’
that the Civil Governor could not over
rule it.
When Von der Lancken arrived
b^re he vent to the German Legation,
but in o«x'cr to obtain food cards, ho
had to apply to the police station
where he failed miserably in his ef
forts to obtain preferential treatment
as a “distinguished visitor/* A chance
caller there found him in line with a
group of unwashed refugees, his well
gromed figure out of keeping with his
surroundings. He was compelled to
stand in line for two hours before his
wants were attended to.
To one who remembers the time
*
when to get a word from Von der Lan
eken in Brussels it was necessary to
give two days notice, after which one
had to struggle through a bodygaurd
if haughty suspicious .underlings, the
spectacle of this erquisifco specimen of
i Prussian junkerdom waiting hi6 turn
1 in the file amid .the grimy proletariat
i afforded ah excellent illustration of
“the times that are changed.”*
