ESKIMO REAL
PACIFICISTS
OF AMERICA
I LONDON, Feb. 10. — The Eskimos
i of Greenland are probably the only
people in North America under con
trol of a European power who are not
interested in the outcome of the great
war. Such is the impression given by
Jen Danguaid Imsen, governor of
Greenland, who has come all the way
to London to appear as a witness in a
! claim of the Danish government to a
i cargo of fish seized by the British as
a prize of war.
“They have heard of the war,” said
the governor, “but they have only a
vague impression of the gigantic
struggle. Two Eskimo papers that ar*
published once a month give them a
rough idea of the conflict, but the is
sues are entirely foreign to them.
These papers are printed by native
printers trained in Denmark. In
them are reproduced war pictures
taken from the Danish papers.”
I he waste of human lire makes tne
deepest impression on these Green
landers, according to Governor Dan
guard. “The Eskimo believes it wick
<ni to kill humans,” he went on. “He
kills all animals and thinks he has a
perfect righ to do, but he shrinks
from the thought of taking a human
life. He heard of men being thrown
against machinery in the great strug
gle to the south of him, and believes
the whole thing absurd.”
The governor summed up the
Greenlander’s unique position which,
he remarked, may have something to i
do with his detachment from the war.'
“The Greenlander,” he said, “has
these advantages:
“He has no army to support.
“He has no navy to worry about. (
I
“There are no policemen in Green- j
land.
“He has no taxes to pay.
“There are no movie shows or the
atres.
“All doctor bills are paid by the'
Danish government.
“There,” added the governor, “you j
have a condition unique among the (
peoples of the world. And it must not
b forgotten that the standard of civi-|
lization among these Arctic High
landers is being raised, slowly by ne
cessity. 1 am pleased to report that
his numbers are increasing. The
present population of 13,000 shows a
growth of about 7*2 per cent in ten
years.
“The Danish government, which
controls the country, carefully looks
after the well being of the Eskimo,
and by a rigid ban on visitors to the
| country—nobody is allowed to go to
Greenland except by special permis
sion—leaves him to develope on
natural evolutionary lines."

Toilers Hear Cookery Lady
For half an hour the working class
audience had listened patiently to the
talented lady who was speaking to
them about economical and nourishing
cookery.
She had talked about eggless pud
dings and butterless cakes, and now
said with a smile:
“i will tell you about an excellent
soup which can be made for next to
nothing. Take the bones left over
from the Sunday joint-”
At that a man in the middle of the
hall rose to his feet with a disgusted
look and said to his mate:
44 ’Ere, Bill, get out o’ this.”
“What’s wrong?” asked the other
in surprise. “Don’t you like soup?”
“Ay, I like soup well enough,” was
the grumbler’s reply, “but how many
bones does she think there are in a
half pound o’ liver?”'

PATROL CRAFT
DEFEATED BY
FISH BOATS
#
SAN PEDRO, Cal.—(Special.)—A
running fight between four aimed
American fishing boats and the Mexi
can patrol boat Ensenada, in which
the smaller vessels vanquished their
heavily armed adversary by driving
her ashore was reported here on Feb.
7 by the fishing vessels Ocean Queen
and Jupiter, which have just return
ed from Mexican waters.
According to the story brought by
the fishermen the quartet of fishing
vessels was fired on by the patrol
boat for alleged poaching and, hav
ing no weapons to defend themselves,
the four put on all speed and headed
for the Mexican vessel with the intea
tion of ramming her. Thereupon en
sued a game of tag with the armed
vessel “it,” with the ultimate result
that in attempting to evade the belli
gerent small craft the patrol boat was
run into the breakers and beach by
her crew'.
The fishing vessels cleared from
San Pedro ten days ago and at that
time were searched for arms by the
collector of customs before they were
permitted to leave.
