It makes cue shudder to think that a man who was elected hvc or six
times to a city council by the people and who was so well known must serve
twelve years caged like a dog amongast criminals. Dan Callahan who re
ceived the sentence yesterday at Fairbanks was actually a candidate for the
position of United States marshal himself after the hist election and later
he took part iu the attacks made on the successful candidate. Erwin, the
man who has now sent Callahan to the penitentiary.
There can be no excuse for Callahan or any other man who becomes
bestial. Any punishment is not severe enough for him if the testimony in
that case was correct. To be guilty of that crime those men who have now
been sent to the penitentiary are better tied up. but the question comes;
If that crime had been going on for five years* according to the testimony,
why were the officials not able to find it out until a political controversy of
the most bitter kind brought the case up?
The officials of the Fourth division must have been blind and deaf if they
did not know for years that practises like that were frequent in the length
and breadth of the district over which they were supposed to maintain the
law.
If signs count for anything there is a likelihood that peace is now being
spoken of in Europe between the representatives of the powers. Ribot, the
member of the French cabinet, has recently said that peace is nearer than
the people think and we have Premier Asquith speaking of peace in the
House of Commons. Just before that speech in the house Asquith had been
to Rome to visit the Pope and that fact in itself is significant, for the Pope
m
will probably be the chief arbitrator when peace finally comes to be discussed
openly as he is the only person of his rank who has not been in some way or
another mixed up in the trouble. It was also noticeable that in hi* speech
Asquith was rather less exacting in possible terms than the allied nations
were previously and the fact is. no doubt, that all of them have come to the
conclusion that the new methods of warfare and the great size of the armies
have made war a different thing altogether, and so different that it must be
come impossible. If all the be ligerents nos* couul only stop with honor anti
without leaving any humiliation and if all the small nationalities were given
freedom the war would serve a* the greatest argument for peace since the
beginning of the world.

PETAIN, FRENCH DEFENDER
OF VERDUN, SKIPS ROPE
By WILLIAM SIMMS
Special to Gateway by United Prees.
PARIS, April 1.—General Petain,
the defender of Verdun and now in
supreme command in that sector,
after rising from a colonel ship in 19
months, thmks no more of climbing
trees, sleepii \; in a hayloft or wading
through ice cold water than he does of
eating breakfast in the morning.
The latest hero of the French army
refused to be a hero. He insists upon
remaining a plain soldier. He usually
makes his headquarters in one of the
poorest houses of a war-zone village
and instead of the usual flag, sentries
and buzzing motor-cars about his
front door he stations a couple of men
in citizen’s clothes to keep off visitors,
and lets it go at that.
Though 59 years old, he skips the
rope 10 minutes every morning before
breakfast. A shave and bath add to
his appetite and so his day gets off
with a flying start. He is willing
himself to do anything he asks the
humblest private in his command to
do. If maneuvres in the rain and mud
are necessary, he qften puts himself
at the head of some company and
walks with them bareheaded and
minus waterproofs.
Officers desiring a place on his staff
can’t have the job simply because they
are chic; they must be able to do
rough service, ride a bicycle, run a
mile in record time, eat plain food and
work any and all sort of hours.
One of the General’s favorite ways
of taking observations is to climb to
the top of some high trees and see
for himself what is going on. He can
get to the top of such a tree quicker
than any man on his staff. He
watched the Verdun fighting in an
armored motor ear in which he dash
eel up and down the lines. He has had
IT chauffeurs in two months. He goes
so fast he wears them out in a day or
so.
Philippe Petain was born April 24,
1856 at Cauchy-la-Tour, Department
of the Pas-de-Calais, or near the
English Channel. His career was not
brilliant, though he was an honor man
of his class at the War College, for he
was not made a Colonel until he was
55 years of age. This was his grade
when the war came on and brought
to light his real military value.
Thirty days after hostilities began
he was brigadier general and three
days more saw him acting general of
division, to which grade he was ad

vanced a few days later. The three
stars of a corps commander were
given him Oct. 25 when he went to the
head of the 33rd which was to cover
itself with glory at Carcncy, Notre
Dame de Lorette and Ablain, in
Artois.
In April, 1715, he was acting com
mander of the Second Army and in
June the title became permanent. He
was one of the main springs in the
Champagne fighting.
General Detain, soon to be 60 years
old, a colonel less than two years ago,
has won his way considerably on
merit. He has never had a “pull,” as
proved by the fact that when the war
began he was on the point of retiring
from the army with a low rank for a
Continental army man.
