SEWARD, ALASKA. S\ IT RDAY, MAI 3, 1016.
With the selection of Charles Sulzer as the Democratic candidate forj
congress Alaskans are now wondering who the others will be. It may be j
taken for a certainty that one other candidate will be a lady known a* M'*<
Lena Morrow Lewis who has been prominent in socialist circles m the tern-;
u»ry for some time. It is the intention of this lady to make the race.
The other candidate w ill be Delegate Wickersham and it is possible that
the “regular” Republican* will put up one. but just now it is dithcult to say
whether the Republican organization intends to support Wickersham or not.
These Republicans have a choice between nominating their own candidate,
supporting Wickersham and supporting the Democratic candidate. Which
will they do?
The ignorance of the people of the United States regarding Mexico has
been the great danger to the maintenance of peace between the two countries, j
In all the world this same danger has existed from the the same cau>e*.
W henever you find a small country adjoining a larger nation whose' language
is different you will find them hating each other. Russia ami Sweden do not
love each other, Belgium and Germany have proven their contempt or hate.
Austria and Serbia are in the same class, ami the same is true ot the United
States. The large nation doe* not exactly hate the smaller one; it despises it.
The smaller nation is the real hater because real hate only comes when the j
opposite aide is powerful. You never realty hate an enemy you can afford to
desp;*e.
The United States has always despised Mexico and the result has been
hate on the part of the Mexicans for the United States. So much have we in
this country been accustomed to despise Mexicans that we seem to be un
aware of the fact that it is equal in population to some of the powers second,
to the great powers. It can be placed in the same class as l urkey, Spain and
some others, and ahead of Bulgaria. Roumania or Serbia and equal in popu
lation to the three combined. Let us always remember how formidable an
tnemy such a country might be if prepared, and, just because of our ignor
ance of Mexico, wV do not really know how well prepared it is.

MISS COSI ER BECOMES
BRIDE OF A COUNT
NEW YORK, May 29.—Count Otto
Salm-lloogstraeten, tirst lieutenant
in the Austrian Thirteenth dragoon
regiment, whose home is in Reich
cnau, Austria, and Miss Maud Coster j
of this city will be quietly married
here today at the home of the bride’s
mother.
The Count is the second son of
Count Alfred Saint Hoogstraeten and!
the brother of Count Ludwig, military
aide to the Governor of Vienna.
Count Otto has a younger brother,
Alexander, who was in this country
with him, but sailed on Aug. 6, 1914,!
to fight irt the ranks of his Father-1

posed to have sail about the same
time, he is interned in this country,
unable to get across.

[Commander Robert K. Crank, United
States navy, In charge of naval recruit- |
Ing in the eastern district, Is busy now |
with preparations for the navy's civilian j
cruise, which is expected to do for the j
navy what the liattsburg and other j
training camps are doing for the army, j
The cruise will begin Aug 15 and last
until Sept. 12, and eligible men from j
nineteen to forty-five years old will par- i
tlclpate. Every opportunity will be af- j
forded these men to learn what service |
in the navy really means, and it Is ex- j
pec ted they will spread their knowledge ]
throughout the country, acting thus as
missionaries for the navy. In addition, j
the knowledge they will gain »of the j
navy's working*, while not making ac- j
tual sailormen of them In the short time |
of the cruise, will be useful if they are
called upon to augment the navy’s regu- j
lar force of men. A land camp Is not j
now contemplated by the department, j
but Commander Crank favors a camp
on shore, on Nnrragansett bay or Cape
Cod bay or some other convenient place I
In conjunction with the cruise. In such |
a camp volunteers for the cruise could
become somewhat used to service condl- j
tions before undertaking the life on j
j shipboard, and to it they could be taken j
for periods of boat drill, Infantry drill, j
etc., thus avoiding a long stretch of sea
duty for men unused to life on ship
board The total expense to each man
on the cruise, beside the cost of trans
portation to the point of embarking and
returning home, will be about (30.J

DUTCH WAR MOVE CAUSED BY
ALLIES, NOT BY GERMANY
THE HAGUE, May 26. — Despite
the statements of certain pro-English j
newspapers, it is now known authori- j
tativelv that it was fear of the Allies,
and not of Germany, that prompted
the Dutch government to take war- j
like measures a month ago.
Certain reports reaching the Dutch
government about steps taker, by tile
Allies at the Paris economic confer-1
once caused grave concern here.
The Minister of War informed
newspapermen that the government j
was expecting an economic crisis of
great importance, though he refused

Measures taken by the British gov

This does not mean, however, that
the anti-German feeling of the great- 1

been lessened.
Hollanders are generally convinced
that Germany has respected Dutch
neutrality in this war only because
she depends upon Holland for her

The people blame high food prices
upon Germany because exportations
to the Kaiser’s realm have lessened
