NEW WIRELESS STATION
 TO OPERATE AT DIKEMAN

Harry Watson and John c. Currin left for Dikeman on Wednesday afternoon last, after spending few days in the city. Mir Watson, as manager of the Northern Aero graph Company has completed all arrange ments for the commencement of business of that company at Dikeman, where a wireless plant has been installed and which is expected to be in operation within few days The receiving mechanism has been in operation for some time. The steamer Washburn, from Whitehorse, will arrive in Dikeman within few days, and she is bringing the mechanism to complete the wireless plant Within few days after her arrival the Dikeman plant will be in readi- ness to receive and dispatch messages in connection with the existing government and private plants.
 The installation of this plant at Dikeman will be convenience which will be greatly appreciated by all classes of people, but especially by river men, shippers and trav- elers. Heretofore the arrival and departure of vessels from Dikeman has been largely q matter of conjecture. With the installa- ton of the wireless plant passengers may leave here for Dikeman with the assurance that they will not be compelled to wait there several days for the arrival of steamer, as has frequently been the case, and the up-river launches can be dispatched to meet the incoming steamers so as to make close connections.
 A minimum charge of S2 per message has been made by the new company be- tween Dikeman and ldltarod.

SOME INTERESTING FACTS
 ABOUT COUNTRIES AT WAR
(From National Geographic Magazine)
E.n1Iand's Predominance

Engand's PredomlnanCe
 Let us aanlyze what is known as Great Britan's predominance in Europe this DO sition, if it is position, which is supposed to give England the casting vote in Euro pean politics-and see, if we can, what are the really significant factors supporting 1t. We shall find that we are dealing with singularIy elusive type of influence, seldom tangible, and seldom manifesting itself in precisely the same way.
 It is due least of all, to superior phys ica strength. Never has it been possible for England to place upon the continent armies capable of waeing a decisive cam paign without assistance At times during the Hundred Years war the English armies, single handed, won glorious victories like Agncourt, but invariably were unable to turn them to account in deciding the cam paign. Since the Sixteenth century the English have at times sent expeditionary forces to the continent which have had in some cases decisive influence upon the re suits of the campaign, but they have never been able, and are not now able, to take the offensive alone against any of the Great European powers in the field with any chance of success. England's predomnance in Europe, then, is not based upon superior military strength; it is not question of force; her diplomats know invariably that they cannot threaten coercion of their op- pCncnts on land.
 Yet for three centuries and more the English have succeeded in getting what they wanted, and in the general European wars have managed somehow to secure the victory for their side.
 Let us not minimize the importance of this success, nor assume that 1t Is any the less success because England has succeeded Il winning her victories by means of the hands of others. Let us not claim that the English have selected the winning side with uncanny perspicacity and have prevailed because they have always had the good sense to ettaCh themselves to the victor There are conspicuous instances where the English have consciously espoused the los ing side at the time when it seemed a. if defeat were an absolute certainty
 Witness the case of Frederick the Great fighting nearly the whole of Europe with only England as his ally.
 Witness the determination with which England declined to make terms with Ma oclecn when he seemed beyond doubt mas ter of Europe, Yet despite the espousal of the losing side and to throw into the European scale m army large enough to decide the issue alone, the English have brought victory to heir banners. This, in reality, is what we mean by English predominanc2, by En2ll>h ,re -cminence, if you will they have almost ;arari lbIy nodded European affairs as they wished

R ,cSia'S Jewish Problem

Mern than half of the thirteen million lew. in the world live in Russia, where they are officially called Those who fellow the Mosaic creed" While the rest of the world Germany, Austria, France and Spain were prosecuting these people, Poland was offering them asylum, ani they accented that haven as a God-&ivcn refuge. When Poland was partitioncd the bulk of i;s Jew ish population went with Rus--a's shara, and that is how Russia came to get lts Jewish problem.
 The Jews in Russia have had a very hard time of its for generations. An aIen race prosperng where the native race goes hun gry naturally arouSes bitterness, and that Is what has caused the Russian government to adopt sch sryenuGus restrictive measures against the Jews Instances of this reNres- slon are written into every chapter ot Rus sian law. There is a double tax on kosher meat. first on the animal and then on the meat itself; there is a tax on religious can Gles used by the Jews the head of the fam fly must pay taX for the privilege ot wear ing a skull cap during prayers; not more than 10 per cent ot the students of un- versity may be Jews. The law for5lG5 the Jews to settle outside of the urban districts of the 1l4 towns embraced Ill Wha, IS known as the 'pale of Jewish settlement Many do settle outside and live in peace until a storm arises on the political horizon, when they absent themselves until 1t blows over. No office is open to 9 Jew unless he renounccs his religion, which only frac- ton Of l per cent of them ever do.
 Russia feels that domestic policy requires these restrictions of the Jews. Without them and unlcttered, the wide awake Jew would be too much fer the lethargic Slav, SAY such authorities as Samuel Wilkinson.

A JOKE ON VERDI

Giorza, the composer, who died recently used to tel the following story:
 "Once Verdi and had apartments cppo- site each other in Milan. The street was narrow. It was warm, and our windows were open Verdi was writing one of his operas, and after writing one aria he sat down at the piano and played it. 1 decided to play a joke on him, so 1 closed the shut ters, and when he got through l sat down at my piano and played the same thing. Then I peeped through the blinds and saw FErdi hanging half way out of his window, looking in all directions. l heard no more from his piano.
 That evening, as we were walking to. gether, he was much preoccuped, and l asked him what was the matter.
 Well, Gior2a,' he replied, wrote song this afternoon that 1 was positive was original, and yet as soon as 1 played It someone else in the neighborhood played the same thing It worries me to think that l should believe another's composition was my own

TIE WEAKNESS OF DICKENS

Applause was the stlmulant on which he lived and without which his life lost its in terest md joy making him restless and un- happy.

Waoe. Banners in Germany

It is generally agreed that the German working class have fewer amusements, less leisure. and a smaller amount of money to spend for either entertainment or IFng expenses than the same class in England and America, but for ell this they seem contented and happy. Dancing seems to be the characteristic amusement of the work ing people.
 Bismarck once said that every healthy bl2-bodied man has a right to say to the state that it shall give him work. And that idea has been developed to such an extent that in 1912 there were fewer than ? per cent of the wage-earners of Germany out of employment In England and the United States the unemployed range around 10 per cent.
 The employer of labor is required to main tain working appliances, machinery and tools in such a way as to protect the oper- ators from danger to life and health, and must give them good light proper space and sufficient ventilation Broad gangways must be provided which must be kept clear, and sanitary washing and dressing accom- modations are required in every factory. There are also dining rooms where the work men may have their food heated, and many of these have libraries, pianos and assembly rooms.
 Inspection by the police takes place every day, and the slightest infraction of the fac tory law will be reported and dealt with. Each week the employer must pay into the public treasury a small fraction of each em- ploye's wage, to guarantee their old-age pensions No employer can discharge an employe without good cause, and every dis agreemnt between them goes into the indus trial courts-the government does not per init the settlement of such disagreements outside of these courts, however willing both parties might be to compromise.

WRONG FOOT

 Jim, said he, instructing the cop, "when go to bel tonight I am going to tie one end of cord around my big toe and throw the othcr end out of the window. At o'clock in the morning l want you to pull on the rope and keep on pulling until 1 tell you 10 step
 "All right, sam" smiled the policeman, ''v0u will hrd me on the j0b.'
 Late that night Sam cravled in, and after adjusting the rope according to schedule he was soon in the land of dreams Hardly had he slept a minute, he thought, when He was awakened by frightened cry. and then more cries and to his horror he say Mrs Sam slowly sliding feet first toward the window.

 After the jury retired to deliberate today the majority of the spectators remained in the courtroom, which was filled to capacity. Court took recess and in the meantime many gathered around Watson, who expounded his ideas on the case, discussed the use of certain words in the Bible and talked of other instances of interest. He ire quently broke out into a, hearty laugh, appearing as unconcerned as though he had nothing tosdo with the case.

Thirty Instantly Killed When DuPont
 Powder Packing Plant Goes Up Tn Smoke

Washington. November 30.-Thirty workmen were killed and six fatally injured today when four tons of black powder exploded at the Upper HagIey yard of the DuPont Powder company. The cause of the blast is not known. A statement issued by the company said the origin twill probably always remain mysaery.'
 Nearly all the victims of the blast were young men between 16 ana 21 years of age. Most of them lived in and about Wilmington.
 The explosion was fin a packing house where black powder pellets are pre- pared for shipment to the warning na- tions. The packing house was one of n large group of small buildings which make up the Upper Hagiey plant. about three miles northwest of the city.
 The blast rocked the Brandewine valley
