WASHINGTON, D. C.,—Attention
has been called in Washington to. a
report that has been sent abroad to
the effect that there is some possibil
ity that the United States may inter
vene on the side of Germany for the
purpose of thwarting the designs of
Japan against this country. This re
port is regarded here as worthy of
being classed with most of the other
canards that have been set loose by
the propagandists. Most diplomatists
regard it as too absurd even to an
swer seriously.
However, in view of the fact that
the story has had such wide circula
tion, this office has gone into the
matter of relations of the United
States, and nothing has been discov
ered that in any way directly or in
directly would substantiate the re
port. The authorities quoted are two
of the best available in Washington,
one for the United States and the
other for Japan, but their names may
not be disclosed. The view of the
United States toward Japan was giv
en to The Christian Science Monitor
as follows:
“The relations between the United
States and Japan have never been
more cordial than they are at the
present moment. If we were think
ing of getting into war, and had in
view a purpose to squelch Japan, the
very obvious thing and common sense
thing to do, would be to go in on the
side of the allies rather than with
Germany. Our relations have great
ly improved recently and one of the
best and most fortunate features of
the situation is the presence here of
Baron Sato, who understands the
United States and knows what the
feeling in this country is.”
The Japanese view of the relations
between this country and Japan are
given to the Christian Science Moni
tor as follows:
“The report that the United States
may go into the war on the side of
Germany, on some suspicion that we
have designs on the United States, is
too ridiculous and absurd to refute.
The two countries are today better
friends than they have • ever been.
The fact may well be known to the
world that the Japanese government
fully understands and appreciates the
difficulty a central government may
have in forcing its views upon a state,
as is the case of the federal govern
ment concerning California. Japan
has kept its agreement to restrict im
migration and it will keep it in the
future, and is satisfied.
“Aw to the Russo-Japanese conven
tion there is nothing: in it that is in
imical to the United States, to Great
Britain or to France. We are an ally
of both Great Britain and France and
assurances by the Japanese govern
ment have been given that agree
ments concerning China will be kept.
It cannot be conceived that Japan
would have any unfriendly intention
against her best customer, the United
States. After the war there will be
many problems to solve, but, when
the world is surfeited with war, these
problems will be solved on the basis
of peace. With respect to China, the
United States and Japan are not even
competitors. You will sell them one
class of goods and we will sell them
another.”
It is not so very long ago that the
United States government was dis
turbed by reports that Japanese col
onization plans were being carried
out in Mexico and in Cuba. The Chris
tian Science Monitor is now given to
understand that what few Japanese
have found their way to the countries
mentioned are not there in accord
ance with any program of their gov
ernment, but merely have emigrated
to better their condition. The gov
ernment is fully aware of the fact
that many problems will present
themselves in the far east after the
war, and great faith is placed by the
administration in the assurances Jap
an has given, in the most definite
way. that the open door in China will
be maintained.

\\ M. HUNTING.
NOSH’, Nov. 7.—Where are all the
ptarmigan ? This is a question now be
ing asked by our local nimrods and the
people who like to eat a nice hot bird
once in a while. Only two years.ago
there were plenty of the white game
birds all over Seward peninsula, last
year not so many, and the present fall
j finds us with practically no ptarmigan
! at all.
Where have they gone, if they have
gone ? Or have they been attacked
by some epidemic? Or have they been
driven to other parts by one or an
other of the heavy storms of the past
two years? There aire reasons for be
lieving that each one of these ques
tions contains a suggestion which will
partially account at least for their
disappearance.
From the captain of the Rear and
many others it has been learned that
tens of thousands, some say “millions”
of ptarmigan perished on the bleak ice
fields of Bering sea last winter. Why
they went there is a question that can
not be answered with certainty. Ow
ing to the prevailing deep snow they
may have been unable to get food and
in seeking new fields they may have
become exhausted and settled on the
ice. There being no food for them on
the ice, and being too exhausted to fly
farther they would naturally freeze
to death.
As to an epidemic there is not such
evidence that such has occurred. A
few travelers have declared that they
have seen many scattered feathers
and bones of ptarmigan in some sec
tions. However, these traces of trag
edies in the wilds are always to be
seen all over Alaska as the foxes,
hawks, and owls have always helped
themselves to ptarmigan when they
wanted to eat.
As to their being storm-driven this
may account for those seen on the
Bering ice and furthermore a strong
wind or a series of them may have
driven a great many of the birds be-j
yound the ice where they had no place
to alight and so fell in the water only .
to be drowned. Usually, however,
during a gale, a ptarmigan will bur
row into the snow, as does also the j
grouse, and sit there contentedly un
til it is over.
The migration of ptarmigan is an
other theory, but only a theory. For
if they have migrated, where have
they gone to? Reports from all over
Alaska along the Yukon, on the In
noko, the Tanana, the Koyukuk, the
Porcupine, agree in this, that the
ptarmigan has disappeared. Where,
no one seems to be able to say.
Any reason for their disappearance
from all parts of Alaska seems at best
to be only a theory. That they are
gone isv a fact.
About 30 years ago the present
writer was informed by an old-time
trader, the same condition existed all
along the Yukon. He had a dozen na
tives out for a week to get game for
his Christmas dinner and they failed ;
to bring in a single ptarmigan, grouse
or rabbit. All small game seemed to
be extinct. But in a year or two the
little creatures came back seemingly
more plentiful than ever. So it may
prove in this case.
