WASHINGTON, April 1S. - Upon

vital developments in the Mexican sit

rejected Iluerta' 5 suggestion for sim

Naval officers say that under naval
precedents salutes are returned only
after the party apologizing for an of

tion officials contend that no recogn-
tion, taeit or otherwise, of the Huerta
government, is involved in the return
of the salute. This was the state of
the situation today.
Word from Huerta of the final ac-

lNExCUSABLE.

Having nothing else to do on Mon day, we took advantage of an open ing offered in the socialistic publica- tion, "The Free Press," to write an editorial upon the subject of Lena Morrow Lewis and her doctrines of Free Love-" It was a very funny editorial while we were writing it, but when we read it in print that evening it impressed us as one of the fiercest and most inexcusable editorials we have written in a life time of such writings.
 Digested in the confines of our own home, the Free Love" editorial was coarse, vile and cruel, unwarranted by anything we know of in Mrs. Lewis life or by any rule of the game of politics even as politics is played in the far north, and today it seems strange that such a thing could have appeared in this paper We have been guilty of lots of "un- ethical" remarks in the years which have passed, but that Free Love" editorial was by far the worst that we have ever done, everything con sidered.
 We are informed that the friends of Mrs. Lewis are displeased with the article. They have a right to be, for there was no excuse for writing it and less excuse for publishing it. We have written Mrs. Lewis to this effect, and do not hesitate to apolo- gize to her thus publicly for the arti- cle.-Fairbanks News-Miner.

and guns. It was an unequal battle, but the Germans must be given cred it for bringing about a battle on these terms.
 The British and Japanese warships searching for the German cruisers would have made short work of them had they all come upon the Germans at once. But the Germans, after car rying on their raids singly or in twos, combined at just the right moment to wipe out one section of the pur- suers, feat that bespeaks the high est naval strategy and seamanship With the fall of Tsing-tau and the release of the Anglo-Japanese fleet that assisted in it's capture, the fate of these German cruisers apparently has been sealed, but they have made a record of which the German people will always be proud. The Briton, ever a generous foe, has been free to admit it.-Tacoma Ledger.

Ruin In West Flanders.

THE HAGUE, Dec. 3.-Advices re- ceived here from Thielt, Belgium, which were brought by way of Sas van Ghent by messenger state that West Flanders, the scene of incessant military operations, remains an is land cut off from the rest of Belgium through the blowing up of most of the bridges leading thereto. Peasants are obliged to make emergency bridges from blanks and crawl along these to escape from the danger zone. The Germans have declared the ter ritory west of the railroad running from Antwerp to Brussels and thence to Mons an official war area, where no one-not even a German-is al lowed to travel without special mil itary passport. It is difficult to ob- tain reliable news of the situation ill the war zone, as the bedraggled men and women who manage to escape are too miserable, through cold and hunger to give a connected account of their experiences. Their only defi- nite recollection seems to be the con- tinued cannon fire and the endless
 processions of wounded filling their villages. It was learned from some of them, however, that Dixmude, the scene of much severe fighting, is en- tirely ruined. Nieuport also suffered severely. The principal church there has lost it's tower and its roof, and
 the Renaissance carvings in it's tn- terior have been demolished. In Yp- res the Cloth Hall, which was one of the few ancient buildings saved from the English siege in the 1888, is severely damaged by shrapnel fire. Germany Guards Her oil.
 COPENHAGEN, Dec. 3.-Germany is experiencing scarcity of petro- leum, due in part to the loss of SUD- plies from Russian and Austro-Galici- an oil fields. but mainly the break down of arrangements for imports from the other side of the Atlantic.
 Throughout provincial Germany and
 in many towns as we'll, local police men have been instructed to inter- view consumers of petroleum for heating an cooking purposes and warn them that in the future oil must
 be used for lighting only, and as spar ingly as possible. Retail dealers also have been privately warned not to supply petroleum to strangers. It is a criminal offense to sell even few bottles of oil without special police license. German buyers of goods from

Danish firms have been trying with small success to pay for purchases with new per cent. German war loan, offering the paper at sub- stantial discount from the issue price. This may account for a further drop during the last week in the exchange rate in German paper money. This is now quoted at the low rate of 84. That was the highest price paid yes terday in the open market.

MINE DEATH RATE
 IS VERY H|GH

WASHINGON, Dec. 3-Dr. Holmes of the Department of Mines in his annual report issued today says that $500 men were killed last year in the mines and quarries of the Unit ed States and 100000 men injured. The great majority of the dead and injured suffered because of their own or some fellow workers carelessness. The many inexcusable deaths and in- juries caused Dr. Holmes to ask for more stringent laws and closer inspec- tion of conditions in mines and open quarries.

GERMAN SEAMANSHlP.

Great Britain has long been proud more than in the grit and pluck of her people has her mastery of the seas been due to the fact that the Englishman was a master seaman. But now Great Britain must admit that the Germans, too, have develop ed seamanship, just as she had to admit that this was true of Amer ica in the wars of the Revolution and 1812 The exploits of the cruis- CTS Emden and Karlsruhe, of the raiding submarines, and of the fly ing squadron that defeated the Brit ish cruisers off the coast of Chile, have brought the German sailor sharp ly to the fore.
 In America, as in England, there was a tendency before the war to regard the German tar as a second rater, along with the sailors of oth- CT continental powers. The war be- tween Japan and Russia proved the Russian no sea fighter, however for midable he was on land, and in some manner Americans came to look on Russian and German in the same light leach a fine cog in a land machine, but no match for Englishman, Amer ican, Scandinavian, Hollander or Ja, panese when it came to naval warfare. Naval authorities the world over crit icised the German system of think ing of the navy in military terms and grouping it in military units-as if it were a part of the army rather than a separate machine entirely But the main doubts were those of seamanship, the modern naval experts believing that, in spite of the many purely scientific questions that enter into naval warfare, it is the same type of man that makes the naval fighter today as in the time of the Vikings-the man whose natural home is on the wave.
 Men of all nations will fight brave ly enough, but only some peo- pies have the aptitude for the sea. The Germans were includ- ed among those without this special aptitude. The war has shown that the experts were right as to sea- manship being as important as ever, but that they were wrong as to Ger man inapt'tude for it. The daring submarine raids have been the high. est modern seamanship. The exploits of the Emden and Karlsruhe, in prey ing on shipping and keeping out of the way of the British avengers that were securing the sea for them, have been the most remarkable since the American civil war. The Emden fin ally was destroyed, and the same fate, it seems certain, awaits the Karlsruhe eventually, but the record in the meantime has proved the quail ity of German seamanship. In the battle off the coast of Chile the Brit. ish were outnumbered as to ships
