Whoever devised the Mutual Ton
tine found ready soil for planting their
policies in and about Ruddendale At
the end of thirty years most of the
investors in the scheme were plant
ed themselves, as the phrase went,
and finally there were only two sur
vivors-Adam Warner and Ezra Moss
Here was the scheme: One hun
dred subjects were taken at one hun
dred dollars each The surviving
members of the syndicate, as it might
be called, when fifty had died. were to
receive six per cent on their invest
ment annually up to their death. The
heirs of the final survivor were to re-
ceive the amount in the pool at his
demise.
All this figured out a liberal COM
mission for the agent or trustee and
for the bank where the funds we're de-
posted. After thirty years all but two
members of the original group were
dead. 1t was then estimated that
the amount the final survivor would
receive would be approximately sixty
five thousand dollars.
But Adam Warner and Ezra Moss
seemed to have no disposition to die.
1t was true that both were now over
eighty and were not able to 90 about
much. Warmers heir was a grandson,
Cyril Warner, in the navy. All the
rest of his relatives had died off. The
heir or rather heiresses of Ezra
Moss were his widowed daughter,
Mrs. Newell, and her only child,
twenty and charming, Marcia.
Mrs. Newell was sordid She hoped
to receive the opulent fund at stake.
Mr.. Moss had no income except six
dollars a. year. nothing but his con-
tingent dependency. Mrs. Newell did
sewing and Marcia taught school. The
returns barely kept the household
wheels moving. Again. in her anxiety
to do all that was possible for the
health and comfort of her father, Mrs.
Newell spared no expense. which was
serious drain on their limited reve-
nue.

NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST 27, 1915.

While the assurances of Ambassador yon Bernstorff of Germany are ot
 nature to allay the fears that We are facing an immediate open rupture with that nation, it is difficult to believe that the German government is about to alter the conduct of the submarine warfare in favor of the United States to the extent indicated in the dis patches of yesterday. Germany may be really sincere in regard to the Arabic affair as it is indicated that the Berlin government feels, in a degree at least. that the sinking of that vessel was rather overstepping the grounds of good policy Germany has not for gooten flood of opprobrium which fol- lowed the sinking of the Lusitania and which, in great measure resulted in the undoing of all that she had accom- the view of humanity for the acts of earlier periods of the war. It can be believed that she has no desire to lay  herself liable to a second accusation of like nature through duplicating, albeit on d smaller scale the previous offense and she is doubtless willing to make all possible amends in order to escape the consequences. It will, therefore, pro bably result, that if. on finding that the circumstances surrounding the Arabic sinking are of a nature to warrant cen sure, Germany will spare no effort to placate the United States. Such ac- tion would have the dual effect of not only avoiding the immediate conse-
 quences of the act but would also do much to restore a better understanding by relieving the strain of public feeling in America. Germany doubtless, has but little fear of the United States as an aggressive factor, but at the same time it is certain that the moral effect
 produced by an open rupture could not
 but have a detrimental effect to the
 German cause and is therefore to be
 avoided, although the effort might re-
 quire the offering or material conces- sions. But that Germany intends to limit the sphere of the submarines acti-
 Vities to a degree that all ships carry

In any event it is difficult to conceive that Germany intends to go 10 lengths which will manifestly be of no benefit to himself sove in the event that she is
 extremely desirous of remaining on friendly terms with the United States This may be possible but there has

 also of a desire to place herself once
