WOLF CRY OF
PRO-GERMANS
A BOOMERANG
MhXICO CITY, March 1* — False j
and alarming imports being printed
by anti-American, pro-German papers
bore, arc beginning to prove some
thing of a boomerang, despite the
clever loopholes left for papers to
crawl thiough when subsequent
events prove their accusations ground
less. So often have the German pro
avamlists tried “wolf” without th^t
animal appearing, that even tin «e
Mexicans most distrustful of the
I'nitcd states are beginning to doubt
not o*dy the accuracy of the stories
aimed at fomenting trouble with Un
cle Sam, but the entire contents of
their cable pages.
Neon* y one new pane: announced
under big headlines that American
troops were on the point of being
landed at Tampico. They were not
landed, however, and the paper was
forced to drop this lead, seemingly
having neglected to frame an explann-!
tion in advance should its news p'ove
false. Later, however, this defect was
remedied This time it was Canada
amt Cuba, instigated by the United j
States, who were to seize various
Gulf of Mexico ports to prevent a
threatened German submarine cam
paign in the gulf against entente oil
tankers from Tampico.
The fact that the ports were not
seized was explained by the news
papers as due to the fact that secrecy!
was necessary to the plot, ana that |
these papers, having exposed the con
spiracy, made its successful comple
tion impossible. ‘
In addition to playing up in extras |
these papers print, with distortions |
and misleading headlines, every piece j
of news that can be twisted into in- j
timating that the United States is con '
stantly scheming to secure a pretext
to occupy either all of Mexico or the
Tampico oil regions. The dominant i
tone of the journals is “anti-Ameri-1
can, rather than openly German, al- \
though to peruse their columns would i
lead the reader to believe that the En
tente allies every day were on the
point of giving up the struggle.

FIGHT PITCHED
BATTLE MAKING
THEIR GETAWAY
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, March
11. — A pitched battle between the
German frontier guards and a detach
ment of German deserters who were
trying to escape across the border in
to Holland took place a few days ago
just across the barbed wire boundary.
The deserters were Alsatians and
were well armed. They were accom
panied by a number of Belgian work
men, who also wished to escape into
Holland. The Alsatians had been on
the Russian front throughout the war
and were just being transferred to the
west.
As they aproached the boundary,
the German guards opened fire, but
the Alsatians replied promptly, kill
ing and wounding three of the small
party of guards. The others retired
to seek reinforcements while the Al
satians began cutting the wire, which
was presently short circuited, causing
a blaze.
Before a path had been opened
across the border, a detachment of
mounted German military police gal
loped up. After a r.hort skirmish, the
guard succeeded in overpowering the
Alsatians. A few of the Belgian work
men, however, succeeded in getting in
to Moll ir d safely.

NORTH DO NOT
MIX SOCIALLY
XOME, Alaska, Match li.—Inter
ior Alaska Indians and Eskimos of the
coast regions do not “mix” at all and
long standing racial differences make
the latter tremble at the sight of their
fellow native countrymen, according
to beliefs generally held here. The
natives', however, give peace officers
little trouble.
Recently the sight of nine Indians
on the Kuk River, near Point Barrow,
up on the northwestern corner of the
continent, stirred up the Eskimos of
that vicinity, according to a letter re
ceived from W. B. Van Valin, who is
at Point Barrow making investiga
tions for the University of Pennsyl
vania Museum.
44 4Itegee* (a native word express
ing dread and sudden warning) the
letter read. “Most of the Eskimos
think that should they fall into the
hands of the Indians they w'ould re
ceive little mercy. John Tookloon, an
Eskimo, sighted the nine and his tale
is travelling as rapidly as John w’hen
he made his get-away for home anc
broke the news of his blood curdling
adventure.”

WOULD RATHER
GO TO PRISON
THAN TO FRONT!
- ACRAMENTO, Calif.. March 11.— j
Major General F. S. Strong at Camp
Kearny, Linda Vista, Calif., has sug
gested that some means be taken to
frustrate the efforts of peroons com
mitted to penal institutions to obtain
short teims under the indeterminate
sentence law where it may he estab
lished that the offender committed a
“crime solely for the purpose of es
caping the hazards of a campaign in
the trenches.”
If under the terms of the indeter
minate sentence law such offender se
cured “their release in a short time,”
General Strong wrote Governor Steph
ens, “it would be precisely what they
wanted and in addition it would be
unjust to those who are willing to go
to the front in their country’s ser
vice.”
Governor Stephens referred the
suggestion to the state board of pris
on directors.
