“KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT”
U. S. WARNING TO ALIENS
“Obey the law; keep your mouth
shut,’ is the warning of the United
j States to German aliens, issued by
! the department of justice. The warn
| ing states that those who heed this
l caution need fear no action against
i them.
The department’s order follows:
“No German alien enemy in this
country, who has not hitherto been
implicated in plots against the inter
ests of the United States, need have
any fear of action by the department
of justice so long as he observes the
following warning:
“Obey the law; keep your mouth
shut.”

By J. W. T. MASON
| (Noted American Military Kxpert)
Written especially for Daily
Dispatch.
The new intimacy sure to develop
between the United States and Can
ada on account of their joint efforts
in the war against Germany, ought
; to be made to yield material advan
tage to both when the war is over.
The United States has a vulnera
ble possession in Alaska. When the
war is over, Canada ought to allow
the United States to tie itself fast to
Alaska by means of a railway run
ning through British Columbia and
Yukon Territory.
A growing part of the American
democracy lives up around the arctic
circle, and connects with the parent
stem by a water route frequently
dangerous and always inconvenient.
The only method of linking Alaska
overland with the United States is by
means of a railway through western
Canada.
This railway will not be construct
ed as a commercial proposition, by
private ownership for many years to
come. Canadians are not commercial
i ly intersted in running a north-and
south railway through British Co
lumbia. Canadian roads in that part
l of the dominion run east and west,
connecting the Atlantic with the Pa
cific.
Only the United States government
, has a special interest in constructing
a railway toward the arctic circle.
Why, therefore, shouldn’t Canada
I agree, at the end of the war, to per
mit an American-owned railway line
to be built through British Columbia
and Yukon Territory, so that the far
northern democracy can be perma
nently united with its government
| head ?
The concession to lay the tracks
I for such a road would include the
i grant of a narrow tract of ground on
both sides of the line, to be protected,
if occasion arises by U. S. military
authorities.
If the United States were at war
with a Pacific power, under present
j conditions, Alaska might well fall a
prey to an invading army. The
American navy could not be used to
protect the Alaskan coast with so
many superior existing for its pro
tective power being divided between
j guarding the Pacific states and re
maining in reserve for any additional
enemies that might attempt to attack
the Atlantic frontage. Enemy troops
! would meet but a handful of garri
soning troops in Alaska, who would
j soon be overcome.
Hut, with an American-owned rail
way running to Alaska, United States
troops could be sent north in suffi
j cient numbers to save Alaska from
falling into an enemy’s hands.
If Canada were to allow such a
railway to be constructed, it would be
agreed by the United States that in
the wholly improbable event of a war
between this country and Canada, the
dominion would have the right to
seize the railway.
The grant of right of way for the
construction of the railway need not
necessarily be made to the United
States government. It is the Euro
pean custom of governments to subsi
dize companies for such purposes as ;
this.
Canada would receive great benefit
from an American-owned railway
system. The northern part of British
Columbia would be opened to settle
ment, and pioneers would be encour
aged to move into Yukon Territory.
Rritish Columbia, with an area of
855,855 square miles, has a popula
tion of only 502,000, less than two j
people to the square mile. Yukon Ter- ,
ritory, with an area of 207,000 square
miles, has only 8,500 inhabitants.
Yukon is practically a lost corner of
Canada, and it would be united to the
dominion by the American railway
line as fully as Alaska would be

I CHICAGO HAS (AYE MAN:
DRAGS YVIFK Oi l BY IIAIR
CHICAGO.—The caveman is not e\
t.'nct. loll J. is a caveman, despite
the fact that he wears No. ii shoes and
a 15 collar. Bill has a caveman’s
soul. Bill’s wife fled bis cave, which
is out on Calumet avenue. Bill, who
drives a wagon for a grocery store,
j came home and found the cave empty,
the hatchet gone, and a big stone tab
let on which were chiseled words to
wit:
“Do not follow. Good-bye. .Mabel.”
Bill stared at the slab stonily and
went forth with a palezoic glint in his
eye. Some nights later he connected.
Mabel was playing the piano in a
State street movie house. Bill spot
ted her. The show was nearly over
and he waited. Approaching her at
last, he acted silently, lie smote his
wife once, twice, thrice, just like that,
and dragged her from the place b>
the hair of her head.
“Take that,” quoth Bill, “and that,
and that.”
Thus Mabel quit her job. Bill, how
ever, wa - apprehended. He appeared
in front of Judge Mahoney with wife,
who sported a black and blue eye, a.
torn lip and various sundry bruises as
evidence. The testimony went as fol
lows:
Caveman Bill—“Your Honor, my
wife deserted me for nothing. She
didn’t know when she was well off. f
hunted her up. I found her playing in
a bad place. I took her away.”
Judge—“You beat her up, Bill.”
Caveman Bill—“I did, for her own
good.”
Judge—“Were you ever arrested be
fore?”
Caveman Bill—“No, your Honor.”
Judge—-“Mrs. J., what have you to
say?”
Mrs. J.—“I’d like to go home with
, Bill. I’m sorry 1 done it.”
Exit Bill and wife. When inter
viewed in the street Bill was uncom
municative.
“There’s nothin’ to say,” said Bill.
“I seen my duty anil done it.”
