Although in nature the song of the

the bird will sing up to the time OF

OFFICIAL NOTE Is ISSUED
Great Britain Awaiting American
Probe of Benton's Death.

London, Feb 23-The British gov.
ernment, for the present at least, will
leave the investigation of the execu.
ton in Mexico of William S. Benton.
British ranch owner, wholly in the
hands of the United States. The for.
eign office issued this statement:
AT the request of his majesty's
ambassador at Washington the Unit.
ed States government, which has
promised protection to British sub.
jects in such parts OF Mexico where
no British consulates exist, has in.
structed United States consular rep.
resentatives thoroughly to investigate
the circumstances of William H
Benton's death"
The formal statement by the for,
eign office that the American govern
ment is handling the inquiry into the
alleged killing of Benton by General
Francisco villa was the only official
comment of the British government.
All of the London newspapers fail
ed to comment editorially on the ex
ecution of the British ranchman al

cial statement before going into the
ethics of the incident. But the en-
tire press devoted much space tc

in Bay City Mich, to join his wife

said, and when his search proved
fruitless and he became penniless he
joined a party of strikebreakers en-
route to the copper country under the
impression that the strike was prac-
tically ended.
II thought it was free country up
here, but | found out differently" he
told the committee. Guards kept me
in bunkhouse and wouldn't let me
go off the company property. In
stead of being able to send my wife
some money they told me after | had
worked twenty-six days that | owed
the company money. All want is a

Peking, Feb 23.-The bandits led

ALL EYES TURNED
ON WASHINGTON
World Powers Watching
Probe OF Benton Case.
SITUATION VERY TENSE

Great Britain's Proverbial Attitude on
Mistreatment of Citizens Becomes
More Tense by Possibility That Two
Other Subjects Met Like Fate.
Washington, Feb. 23.-Attention OF
all the world powers interested in the
Mexican situation is turned upon the
investigation into the killing of Will
lam S. Benton. the British ranchman
by General Villa at Juarez.
Secretary Bryan and Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice, the British ambassador
were awaiting official reports with de
tails and pending that development
the situation apparently was un.
changed.
Great Britain's usual attitude to.
ward the treatment of her subjects in
foreign lands surrounded the Benton
case with more than ordinary inter.
er Englishmen. friends of Benton
were unheard from. increased the
tensity of the situation.
Although every disposition has been
shown by the British embassy here
and by the foreign Office at London
to be guided by whatever an official
investigation develops, diplomatic cir
cles were prepared for a thorough in
quiry into Bentons killing.
One outcome of the situation, which
was thought more than probable, was
expected to be a warning by Great
Britain to her subjects i'm Mexico tC
leave isolated places and retreat tC
localities where they could place
themselves under the protection oi
the British flag.

A NEGLECTED AMERICAN
(New York World.)

George Brandes's visit will broad en the American view of the makers of our own country if it leads to bet ter knowledge and a ulster estimate of one whom he recokens next to Poe Tom Paine.
 Paine was cursed with the artistic temperament, but he was austerity it. self compared with Rousseau, like him great builder of revolution. His repute in England and America was all but destroyed by "The Age of Reason" which caused him to be de- nounced as an atheist. He was, in fact, no more an atheist than William Penn, Roger Williams or Ralph Waldo Emerson, and in less bitter age would have been accepted as power ful teacher of morals and religion.
 In a country based upon immigra- tion no apology is needed for claim ing Paine as an American, though he spent but twenty years here, in two widely seperated periods But the man whose Common Sense" by Washington's testimony, worked a powerful change in the minds of men" toward American independence; who in "The Rights of Man" demolished Burke's attack on the French Revolu- tion so completely that the British Government resorted to it's suppress sion, and who in France set the world aflame with persecution mania by "The Age of Reason" certainly made good in three countries his title to literary rank and political power.
 America, at least, which did not pre- vent Cobbett from digging up the very bones of the preacher and prophet of revolution and removing them from New Rochelle to England, owes his memory a belated tribute.

Alaska is as much our neighbor aa any part of the United States. It Is also a great and rich territory, whose good features we know and appreciate. And when your country recognizes it's importance with the construction of railroads, 1t might be very much worth while contemplating extension of them to a point where they could meet Canadian rails. It is not so very far now from Canadian steel to Al. aska and there are very feasible routes to close that gap.
