VISIT OF CRUISER EMDEN
Gauged by the eminent fitness of things, the presence
of the UT S. S. Surveyor in Alaskan waters, with its base
at Seward during the summer serves to keep in mind one
of the greatest atrocities of the World war—the torpedo-!
ing of the Lusitania with its cargo of men, women and
little children. There are some things easily forgiven!
and forgotten in war, but it is hardly likely mothers and
fathers of little blossoms of humanity will be able to re
call the Lusitania incident without feeling a tinge of the
enormity of the offense.
The Surveyor is more than an arm of Uncle Sam’s
sea force, she is the proud avenger of a crime which ranks
with the Mexican atrocity of two days ago, when a like
crime was perpetrated on a train-load of women and;
children.
The visit of the German cruiser Emden to Alaskan
waters will therefore bring forth in a striking manner
the contrasts between human thought and principle. One
represents the emblem of protection to the weak and the
chivalry of the oceans while the other represents a relic of
that bestial power which halted at naught, even to the
butchery of children.
The Emden will receive the courtesy accorded to all
visitors, but it will be cold and formal. There can be no
grasping of a bloody hand in warm friendship even by
people schooled to endure.
A North Carolina woman believes teaching husbands
to care for babies would lessen divorce. Husbands don’t
need any teaching when it comes to caring for “babies.”

ACTIVITIES OF BOY
SCOUTS OT BENEFIT

NATIVES OF ALASKA SUPPORT |
MOVEMENT FOR CHILDREN;
REJECT PRINCIPALS SELF
WASHINGTON, April 26. (TP)—The
establishment of Boy Scout activities
j as an educational influence in the
| Cape Prince of Wales Eskimo com
munity on Bering Strait, Alaska, by
Clark M. Garber, a teacher, is mak
ing good progress, it is stated by Jon
athan H. Wagner. Chief of the Al
aska Division of the Bureau of Edu
cation, Department of the Interior,
in a communication just received by
Dr. John J. Tigert, Commissioner of
Education.
i The activities introduced by Mr.
Garber has attracted considerable at
tention in official Boy Scout circles,
Dr. Wagner says.
j “Of course I cannot hope to bring
about a complete transition from the
racial instincts and native habits of
the Eskimo to the present social and
moral standards of the white man,
but the seed is sown,” it is stated
by the teacher in a report of his
work.
Mr. Garber says further: “You
I cannot believe how much enjoyment
■and pleasure I get from watching
these boys unfold from a selfish,
egocentric life into young men with
a sense of responsibility to them
selves and to their fellow men. I
only regret that such a change can
not be effected among the older peo
ple. Nevertheless, they readily rec
ognize the value of it to their pro
geny and heartily support the work
yet they are peculiarly averse to
: the theing as it might affect their
own lives and habits.
