FRENCH GET REVENGE
 FOR SEDAN DEFEAT

LONDON. - During the strategical retreat of the Allies southward from the Belgian frontier the French troops exacted from the Germans bloody re venge for the French disaster at Sc dan forty-four years before.
 On this same battlefield, according the Paris correspondent of the Daily Mail, the Germans suffered one of the worst defeats of the present invasion They were led into a trap which cost them thousands of men, he says.
 The French could have held their position indefinitely, but strategy re. quired> them to continue falling back with the remainder of the Allies along the line. Here is the story of the sec, ond battle of Sedan, as told by the correspondent:
 "The French general ordered his troops to fall back across the river and take up positions on the opposite heights. The bridges were mined but were left standing in order to deceive the Germans into thinking the French were retreating hastily.
 "The ruse succeeded. The Germans advanced across the bridges in close formation. When several German reg lments had crossed, the French blew up the bridges and the French artillery started firing at a hundred German columns, which retreated hastily to the river only to find the bridges gone.
 French artillery and infantry fairly moved down the German regiments"

BUNNELL IS FIGHTER

Bunnell for some years, he is nice, clean young man, morally and physically. And we have yet to be convinced that being nice and clean units man for the posi- tlon to which The seeks election. Yet being nice and clean does not neees- sarily make him Sissy" In fact the Democratic candidate for Delegate to Congress is as far from being of that class of men to which the term is applied as 1t is possible to be. He is as able a flighter as the Terrible James" himself. but with far more tact and diplomacy in hls makeup. and as a representative of the people Of Alaska at the national capital will make record of which the people who send him there will be proud.
 And we doubt if in the present cir cumstances if the term goat, though applied in derlsion, is altogether wrong for we are quite Confident when the returns are all in he will be found to butted MT. Wickersham out of the field.-Cordova Times.

CORDOVA GUN MAN
 CLAIMS SELF-DEFENSE

CoRDoYA, Oct 1-Toni Papas, the Turkish Greek who shot and robbed his partner Milt Angelo Velisaris was arraigned this morning before U. S. Commissioned A. J. Adams, and bound over to court The charge was shoot. ing with intent to kill. By reason of failure to furnish $5,OOO bail bond, he remains in jail. At the hearing he admitted both the shooting and the robbery, but contended that the shoot ing was done in self defense, claiming that Velisaris first shot at him twice. The arrest was made at Mile 27 yes terday morning about o'clock, Tom. Teets was first on the scene and dis covered the man sleeping in a cabin. After he secured him, Russian Pete came along and both men had the prisoner under guard when Deputy Marshal Brightweel arrived on the mo- tor car and brought the prisoner back to Cordova. The wounded man lies in the hospital in a precarious state, with but little hope of his recovery. In case of his death the prisoner would be remanded to jail, providing he should in the meantime be able to give bail, which is not likely. Pap as had $500 on his person. He con tends that $82O is his own money and that he took the rect, $4S0, from velisaris.-Cordova Alaskan.

THANK GOD, WE
 HAVE A PRESIDENT

We like to feel that Woodrow Wilson expresses in his own personality the good genius of this country.
 The Presidents service to the na tion within the past few months has been sufficient to make an entire four year term notable.
 War with Mexico has been averted through patient statecraft that per sisted despite criticism, abuse and lack of faith.
 A strike of trainmen on ninety-eight Western railroads has been prevented by the agreement of the contendlng parties to arbitrate. This strike would have been a catastrophe at any time; in view of other complications, 1t would have been immeasureably worse at this time. Credit must be given to the men and the managers for agreeing to get together. but this was not brought about until the Presi- dent had entered the negotiations.
 The placing of American business conditions upon a basis where the European disorders can effect them little if at all was at the instance of and with the cooperation of the ad- ministration, which is also to be cred. ited with fathering a currency law that will prove most efficient in the pres ent situation.
 In the last three or four months it would have been distressingly easy for a Presidential blunderer to em- brol or embarrass the United States. We have come through with credit and clean of unworthy compromises or entangling alliances.

NO WAR SPIRIT NOW.

Manifestations of the Jingo spirit in this country are practically nil. The sentiment of our people is almost unanimously with President Wilson in his determination that no possible proyocation which can be foreseen shall be allowed to involve us in the war. The Presidents noble appeal to his fellow countrymen to safeguard the nation by deed and word against the distress and disaster to which any violation of neutrality might lead meets with cordial response every where. This country is resolved to keep out of it.--ohio State Journal (Rep.).
