WASHIuGTONl'S BIRTHDAY DOC RAGE

not been advertised, but few persons wit messed the event, and when the leaders in the race arrived at the lditarod turning point there were not more than dozen persons present to greet them.
 All of the drivers made the turn at the
 C. corner without difficulty with the exception of Jimmy Kay. Jimmy is light weight, and when he applied the brake at the turning flag his five dogs paid no at tention to his efforts to stop them, but pro cecled at a good pace down the street as far as the Adams house, where they made a neat turn to gain the rear of that hos telry, Jimmy all the time bearing down with the full weight of his anatomy on the brake When they finally came to standstlll the lightweight contestant was somewhat peeved with his charges, and 1t is sad that he used naughty words in denouncng them and otherwise showed his great displeasure at their conduct This IS said to have aroused the ire of couple of worthy ladies residing in the neighborhood, and the story goes that they attempted to chastiSe Jimmy with the brcoms they happened to be wleld- ing at the time The story cannot be con frmed, but it is a fact that on the return run from the Adams house to the 4. C.. corner Jimmy made most remarkable spurt of speed.

EMPLOYMENT BUREAUS
 TO BE RUN IN POST0FFECES

WASHINGTON, Jan 1O-Unemployed people throughout the United States are to be aided by the government, Through the postoftice department arrangements are un- der way for the establishment of national employment bureaus, which will be oper- ated by the postofice department The announcement of the new plans was made today upcn oficial authority, and the scheme will be put into effect as soon as possible
 According to the plans made known to- day, the country will be divided into nu- me-ous zones each of which will be under tke direction of special government clerk. People wanting employment or wanting to hire people will file with the.r local post master their wants, end these will be for warded at once to the head clerk of the zone. In this manner it is expected that the people wanting work and those want ing employes will be brought together withuot cost to either, and 1t will put out of business a certain class of grating em- ployment agencies.
 Owing to the fact that there IS in nearly all parts of the country revival of pros perty and new industrial enterprises are opening, an effcrt will be made to get the national employment bureaus established with as little delay as possible. According to the present plans for the bureaus, the zones will have their headquarters as far as possible in large cities, where there will be the most demand for labor.
 It is pointed out that the new system will be of special aid to the farmers, who vest time. The scheme was tried out in a vest time The scheme was tried out in a tentative way last fall in some sections ot the country, and the large numbers of farmers and laborers aided through the me dium of the postofice convinced the gov ernment officials in Washington that per manent bureaus of this nature should be established.

MAN hTURDERDED IN CHISANA
 WAS A DAWSON PIONEER

Of Louis Schonborn who was recently found murdered at Bonanza small mining town in the Chisana mining district, the Dawson News has the following:
 Louis Schonborn was one of the best known pioneers of the city of Dawson. He was the builder of the Yukon hotel, one of the first, f not the first, hotels erected in the city. The hotel now stands on First avenue, and has been run steadily since the
 it was opened. In the early days Louis made stake and then pulled out and re- turned to his old home in Iowa. Three or four years ago he returned, satisfied there was no place like the North. lie came to Dawson, visited the lower river, and soon after his arrival here went oil on the Chisana stampede, which was just starting up He was one of the party which went Donjek on the first trip of the Nita

The annual Washington's birthday dog race promoted by residents of Flat City and conducted by the Iditarod Kennel Club took place Monday last under ideal weather conditions and resulted in victory for De Haus driving seven dogs, who made the reg ular course from Flat to Discovery, back to Flat. thence to Iditarod, and from Iditarod to the starting point, in hours 12 minutes 43 seconds. Onyett, also driving seven dogs negotiated the distance in 2:17 ;35, and James, driving Dickson's team of like number of animals, finished two seconds behind Onyett.
 Up to late hour it was not definitely decided to pull off the race, and for that reason the entry list was smaller than 1t would otherwise have been. The entrymen held out for a strong handicap against the Glantz team, and for that reason they were not contestants in the race. Judging by the time made compared with the mark heretofore set by Glantz, the other contest ants were justified in insisting on the han dicap of twenty-five minutes demanded.
 In spite of the comparatively slow time made. the race was an interesting one, and was hotly contested throughout and the drivers and animals finished in good condi- tion Owing to the fact that the race had

Record Of the Race
GERMAN CONCEPTION OF THE STATE
lTacnma LIelIgerl

"In the German view, the state Is not for the individuals, but the individuals for the state." says Hugo Muensterberg in his book, "The War and America designed to create a better understanding of Germany in the United States. Hugo Muensterberg IS professor of psychology at Harvard univer- sty. He took very much to heart the evidence early in the war of American sentiment against Germany, though later cn he found marked change in opinion.
 In a chapter on "The Kaiser Professor Muensterberg draws a distinction between the AngIo-Saxon or American conception of the state and the German conception The distinction he makes is summed up in his assertion that, in the German view, the statc Is not for the individuals, but the individuals for the state, while in the AngIo-Saxon and American view the state IS taken as an organization which exists in the interest of the individuals.
 'rGhis is indeed the central belief of Anglo-Saxon civilization" he says. Tt har- monizes completely with the indlviduallstlc philosophy in every ether field. The happl- ness of individuals is the last goal for the Anglo-Saxon."
 Professor Muensterberg does not say that the German view is to be preferred to the Anglo-Saxon, but he does contend that the German view has grown out of German traditions as necessarily as the opposite ideas of state and individual have resulted from the cooperation of the American colomeS, and that nations cannot exchange the stores of their lives He submits that Germany does not desire to be a republic, and IS quite satisfied with her present form ot government; so he argues that It IS Idle for Americans who sympathlze with the allies to express a belief that German defeat would mean the substitution ot a now form of government
 sIts fortresses may fall" he says of Ger many, "but it's faith in the kaiser Will stand"
 Yet he makes it plain that the people of Germany do not look upon Kaiser Wh- helm as anything but human, with the limitations necessarily implied. He symbol izes the state for Germans and Tn thelr admiration and loyalty to him they admire and are loyal to the state. The power ot the state in Germany is ''symbohzed in personality which is entirely independent from the struggle of the individuals, as such"
 To illustrate further the German attitude toward the kaiser, Professor Muensterberg says flag is, of course piece of cloth. "But the flag is more than piece Of cloth and in that sense the king IS more than man; and only in that sense the German welcomes even the symbolic language which calls the power of the king one of dlvlne grace, just as the marriage tie IS taken as divine"
 Professor Muensterberg recognizes that good deal of American prejudice against Germany in the present war arises from
 cling that the kaiser asserts the old al vine right of kings. To remove that preJu- dice, the professor sets forth the German conception of the state and the kalser as symbolic of the state

Government Stock Killed by Bear

A big brown bear on Kodiak island sue ceeded in killing forty-one of the flock ot sheep kept at the experiment station by the department of agriculture, says the Valdez Miner. The flock numbered forty-two when the bear caught up with them, and he sue ceeded in killing fbrtyone, and the other little fellow had his ears chewed but man. aged to escape The department of agrl- culture will endeavor to have the protec- ton extended by the law to the brown bear withdrawn by congressional action, and pos sbly the offering of a bounty for skins, so that the natives will go and kill all the bear on the island, which continually de stroy the hocks of the government Just why the destructive brown bear should be protected is not known, but it has been, and efforts are now to be made by the people to the westward to induce the ad- minstration to withdraw the protection to the brown bear and allow them to be slaughtered Black bear can be killed at any time, as they are chased as fur-bearing animals. The brown bear is considered a game animal, and must be guarded from extermination by the hunters.

FRENCH AVIATOR SAYS
 HE CAUGHT BULLET IN AIR

A French vaiator reports hvaing brought down from the skies a German rife bullet which he succeeded in catching in his hand The story goes that as he was flying at a height of about 1000 feet he suddenly be came aware of small black object close to his head.
 He thought it was an insect of some kind. and was sufficient of an entomologist to realize that flying insect at such a height was curiosity. So he stretched out his hand and graspcd what, to his amaze ment, proved to he bullet.
 He explained aftsrward that it was eT, dently rifle bullet that had been fired almost vertically and had reached utmost elevation. He arrived in his aeroPlane just at the moment when the bullet slowly turned over and was about to fall again.

SUBJECTS OF MIKADO
 TO EMULATE LAFAYETTE

TOXIC, Jan. 15.-The Japanese promot- CTS of the volunteer movement to send an army corps to the assistance of the allies in Europe have issued manifesto appeal ing to the Japanese people and foreigners for funds to carry out their scheme. The manifesto says that as Lafayette helped the United States and Garibaldi helped France, so the Japanese wish to help the allies in order to terminate the war and restore peace to the earth. It is stated here that the chief objection to the sending of Japanese army to Europe came from France, but
 here is said to be no objection from any allied nation to the sending of volunteers from Japan. The men connected with the movement seem to be confident that they can secure large force with plenty of funds to render material assistance against Germany.

Vandalism is Fairbanks District

That some vandal has been robbing caches in the Salchaket district for several wears is the statement of Joe Enos who re turned to Fairbanks from the upper river recently, and who declares that his cabin was footed and the building destroyed by fire, according to the Fairbanks Times. Enos is much aggravated over the fact that he cannot leave grub and property on Red mond creek from year to year without hay ing it taken from him, and is anxious to see someone prosecuted for the offenses al ready committed In speaking of the mat ter Enos said: For the last three years someone has made 1t his business to enter my cabin on Redmond creek and take grub and other supplies without my permission. Thinking that if l locked my cabin it would put a stop to this practice, put a strong chain and paddock on the door, but twice I found that forced entrance had been made, and that many things were taken Early in October went to my cabin again, and this time 1 found that the door had not been forced open. There was a small coat of snow on the ground, enough to convince me that there would be no danger from forest fires. 1 then started on 8 hunting trip and was greatly surprised upon returning to find my cabin in ashes, I searched through the ruins and the pad lock and chain were in such condition that I was convinced that they had been broken by human hands l was also unable to find some articles which could not have been destroyed by fire but was unable to do so.' He reported another cabin on the claim above his to have been broken into and provisions and other articles stolen.

Deep See Diver Seeking Russian Treasure

C.. F. Stagger, deep sea diver, who was in Skagway for several days last fall, has made application to the United States gov ernment for permit to salve gold from the Russian gunboat Neva, which struck rock off Cape Edgecombe and went to the bot tom more than sixty years ago Staggers application was referred to Major J. $. Cav anaugh, United States engineer in Seattle. Last summer while Stagger was at sltka, engaged in salving the fishing schooner Mon, tana which caught fire and was beached on Baranof island, he was informed ot the wrecked Russian gunboat Neva by Rev.
