City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST IS, 1915.

The announcement that the War Department has decided to comply with the request of sundry and divers business and professional men of the Puget Sound country who seek in- struction in military matters. indicates perhaps more than any other example could. that the general body of the cit izens are commencing to appreciate the perilous situation of the country in the absence of adequate military protec- tion. It is somewhat unusual to find the cihzens of the higher ranks of so- ciety taking more than a philosophical interest in such matters and the fact that they are anxious to lend their own persons to the difficult exertions re- quired in the building of a soldier de- monstrates fully that they are thor oughly aroused to the lamentable weakness of the nation and the neces- sty for military preparedness A more active demonstration of the wishes and inclinations of the people in this re- spect could hardly be found and the spectacle is surely one to put to shame the peace at any price advo- cates" and also the proponents of ma tiCnal disarmament. Throughout the history of mankind, except in such countries where enforced conscription was the rule, this class has always been the last to give their services in the defense of their country. Not that they are to be held less patriotic than are the citizens of the more humble walks of life, but rather because that such nature that it is difficult, both from the physical and ethical stand points, to answer the call to arms until there is an imperative need for their services. Considering that it is usually from among those classes that the directors of national affairs arise it may be assumed that their preserva- ton, as long as there is no absolute need for their military services, is a
 matter of paramount consideration to
 the nation. Knowledge, thought ca
 pacity and business training and the
 ability to conceive and execute are usually theirs and these qualities are nearly as essential to the welfare of the nation in times of war as are the

soldiers who do the fighting. Many there are who will criticize the busi
 ness or professional man for afiling to rush To the front at the call to arms
 but only the minimizing will fail to perceive that they are generally per forming adequate service by remaining at nome The majority would probably make but indifferent soldiers in the field in any event as the bodily habits of both classes are such as to greatly reduce the capacity for enduring the tolls and hardships of military cam
 paign. If the choice must rest between Ia poor soldier and a useful civilian citizen, it would seem the part of dis eretion to keep the doubtful ones al home where they could be using their natural talents to the best advantage
 in helping to maintain the fighters al the front. Every inclination of busi- ness or professional life leads more or away from conditions required for the
 development of an effective fighting unit and it is thus somewhat startling Ito behold that class of society seeking instruction in the methods of arms. This can betoken. in the present instance nothing but that they recognize that
 they are facing conditions wherein there is a strong probability that they will be called upon to take more ac- tive part than usually falls to their lot | in the event of national conflict. In preparing themselves for such an even- tuality they are also throwing back
 upon their numerous opinionated crit !, ics the charge that they have little in- terest in their country aside from the desire to accumulate dollars therefrom and also the equally pernicious charge of the more radical element that the business and professional classes are
 the ones who are the most active in
 fostering wars because of the profits Ito be derived therefnom. If the busi. mess ana prO1eSSlondl I1leH or the Cou1
 try should adopt the attitude display.
 led by those of the Puget Sound sec ton it would constitute an absolute
 refutation of the allegation that they
 are interested in starting wars as it is a moral certainty that no sane
 minded person is going to start that
 which is likely to bring personal in- 1 jury to himself Another excellent; effect that would be produced would ] be the stopping of the constant cry of certain innocuous portion of our eitizenary that they are the ones who have to save the country in every
 emergency If no other effect than
 the muzzling of these loud-voced
 bankers were produced through the action of business and professional
 men in preparing for military duty, it would be a relief to the ears of all fair thinking citizens.

WOULD
Be 90 PERCENT.
Cattlemen Vigorously OPP
pose Advanced Rate on
Livestock as Proposed.

Austin, Tex, June 16.-At the con-
clusiOn Of the consideration Of live
stock rates, carloads and less, the.rail-
road commission in the advanced
freight rate hearing, took up the pro-
posed rates on lime and cement in car
loads This is expected to consume
some time, as il IS one Of the. large in
dustries of the state. The livestock
men are uniform in their opposition to
any increase being made from the pres
ent rates on livestock, whether beef or
stock cattle In fact, some of the wit
nesses at the hearing thought the pres
ent rates should be reduced. This is
the same plant with practically all Of
the other industries that have been
heard during the period that this hear
ing has been in progress.
Cannot stand Additional Burdens.
As to the rates on livestock, il de-
veloped during the consideration or
that tariff that the proposed rates are
an increase over the present rates Of
3 to I cents per 100 pounds, which
makes an increase Of from 81 to S.
per car on strict mileage basis Stock
men generally who appeared before
the commission have testified that the
cattle business is not as prosperous as
IL has been in the past and the bust
ness cannot stand any additional bur-
dens in the shape OF increased rates
Statistics submitted by stockmen dis
closed that under the proposed tariff
by the railroads, the increase over the
present rates on livestock would be
well above so percent instead Of the
Is percent increase urged by the COM
mon carriers.
Ed Stinnett, OF Amarillo, testified
that the increase on horses and mules
alone would be about S17 a car and that
on stock cattle II would be over 50.
Should the commission agree with
the testimony Of the cattlemen, there
is little chance OF an advance in live
stock rates.

.LU5ITbNIA WAS
SHORT Of MEN
Seamen We're Inefficient, Is
Testimony; Only 10 of %
Boilers Were Used.

London. Eng. June 1.-THE inquiry
into the sinking of the steamship Lusi-
tania was resumed today with the ex-
animation Of Alfred Booth, chairman OF
the board of the Cunard Steamship
company. The attorney, Sir Edward
Carson, asked Mr.. Booth why il was
that the Lusitania was economizlng by
using only 19 of her % boilers at the
time she was torpedOed-
so far as submarines are concerned,
there is no difference between Il and
245 knots" Mr.. Booth replied
The witness said the Cunard COM
pany was unable to communicate with
the vessel by wireless, except through
the admiralty and therefore had given
no wireless instructions to Capt Tur-
ner. It was left to Capt Turner )
discretion TO arrange the time OF the
vessels arrival He said that all he
knew relative to warnings issued to
intending passengers was what he had
read in English newspapers
No Detective Apparatus.
Donald Manchester, representing the
Canadian government, asked Mr. Booth
whether there had been installed on the
Lusitania an apparatus for the detec-
ton of submarines The witness re-
sponded he had no knowledge OF any
workable device Of this sort He also
said that on account Of the war there
were many poorly trained men In the
crew
Lacked Coal and Firemen.
Baron Mersey, president Of the court,
elicted from Mr.. Booth that the Lusita-
MIA had neither coal nor fireman
enough on board to make the trip
across under full boiler power. Sea-
man Quinn who was in the crows nest
OF the Lusitania when she was struck,
expressed the opinion that the Lusita-
mia could not have escaped even If she
had been going 100 knots an hour"
