NATIVES Of PITCAIRN
ISLAND VIEW SIGHTS
Thomas and Edwin Young Are
introduced to World of
Civilization

San Francisco, Dec. 30.-An automo-
bile whirled down Market street; a
phonograph ground out its wheezy
tunes from bar along the way; troll
ley car bumped along; here man was
talking through telephone; there an
electric light CLEANED.
To Thomas and Edwin Young it was
all wild, puzzling, mystery, for they
we're from Pitcairn Island-out in the
Pacific, Il land of only semi.eivilized
folk. Professor w. Scoresby Rutledge,
of the British museum, brought them
here after he had hunted more than
three years on the strange island for
monoliths and prehistoric bones.
Little wonder then that the inven-
tions of civilization astounded, even
frightened, them.
They had. heard of some Of the
strange things that men make back in
civilization. For, as they told Of strange
Pitcairn, il was thus. A British crew
mutinied 200 years ago. The men were
cast ashore on the island. They welded
native women of Tohiti; then they
ouarreled, and all but one white man
was killed. He set about to be rather
to all the half. caste children. He
raised them. in the faith of the Church
of England; they learned-some Of
them-to read and wr+e,
As time rolled on, it was found only
200 men could dwell on the island. They
chose lots as the colony grew and ther
some went to neighboring isles to dwell
A crude government patterned after the
English form grew up.
None has ever heard musical instru
ment; they have no money; only the
barter of medieval times exists.

with its Goth century inventions is tc

Professor Routledge told today Of
how he and his wife narrowly ESCAPED
death on Easter Island when the Poly
nesian natives rose in revolt.

OPEN FORUM
AFTER THE WAR, wHAT7
K 4 X 4 < 4 x 4 y 4 4 4 \ 4

To the Editor. Sherman said "War
is hell. He was mistaken. War is
worse than hell. He'll is the place
where, after the JUDGMENT day, the
wicked are to be punished according
to what they deserve. But in war the
innocent are punished, and the instiga-
tors of the bloody carnage 60 unpun-
isned. War will never cease as long as
men are unregenerate, and. the nations
glorify war by putting the laurel
wreath on the brows of those who send
shot and she'll crashing through the
bodies of men.
Men are Mortified at the disregard
OF international law and treaty obliga-
tions by the belligerent powers en-
gagged in the present war. But the ne
cessities of war recognize no law,
either human or divine, as too sacred
to break II is utter folly for men to
think that men frenzied by the spirit
and exigencies of war will respect law,
justice, or humanity. War is entirely
outside of God S purpose, and is not
amenable to any law or obligation.
Terrible as is the present war in its
destruction of human life and its dis
regard of the restraints Of law and
justice, yet this war is as nothing in
comparison to the significant and ter
rible things that will Immediately fol
low the present conflict. New and
startling developments will come
quickly. Men everywhere will be ready
to condemn the old regime as a total
failure, and unfit to rule humanity.
Remedies OF all kinds will be suggtst-
ed to avert future wars. and to usher
in reign of universal and lasting
peace. All kinds of extensive religious
combinations will ue effected in order
I TO guide the ship Of state safely over
the turbulent. political seas. Attempts
will be made TO have the voice of the
church dictate legislation, and have the
civil officers submit to the DEGREES OF
the church, and regard its pronounce
ments as an equivalent to Thus
saith the Lord. +"
They will demand righteousness by
law, God and Christianity recognized in
the Fundamental law of the land, q
standard of religion set up for all men
by the state, and Sunday laws univer'
sally enforced, irrespective of individu
al faith or conscience in the matter
All these things will follow in quicl,
succession as proposed remedies, and
the authority of the church will be ex
alted above the state.
History repeats itself with unfailine
ACCURACY. When the Roman govern
ment went TO pieces after the days OF
Constantine, tine church took advan
tage of the situation and placed herself
in the forefront, making the civil of
ficers subservient to her DEGREES, Hel
reign, which was at first welcomed

Navigation Into
 Anchorage Ends
Ships Unable to Unload Because of Ice Forced to Come
 Out.

The Northwestern returned to Sew ard last evening after having failed to unload rails and other portions Of her cargo intended for Anchorage. It was found impossible to unload of that town because of the heavy run of slush ice which, carried by the tide, threatened to cover the scows and swamp them. The steamship Alliance also was forced to return.
 The other boats now on the way to Anchorage, it is feared, will find it altogether impossible to unload there and some hardship may be inflicted on our neighborS because of miScal- culations due to the unusually mild winter last year when the Inlet had phenomenalIy open water.
