ADMITS MAIL
CONGESTION

A letter to President Polet of
the chamber OF commerce from
Delegates Wickersham states
that up to February I8 nothing
had been heard from either Cap
tain Ernberk of the war depart
ment relative to the Snake river
harbor report. The delegate also
refers TO the kicks from Nome
concerning the mail service and
states that he is passing them up
to the postoffice department as
fast as received and has secured
results in the shape OF a letter
from the second assistant post
master general, which he incloses.
The communication referred to,
among other things, admits that
there was an accumulation of Sec
ond class matter at Cordova cur
ing the early part of the winter.
This seems to show that, in spite
of the denials from this end of the
line there was some congestion
after all. We had suspicioned as
much already.

A. p. A. Service

WASHINGTON, April I3-
Secretary lansing announced last
evening that the British note on
the seizure OF thirty eight Austri-
ans, Germans and Turks from
the American steamship China
near Shanghai some weeks ago
does not close the case to the sat
isfaction OF the United States
government.
The British note, which was
received today, asserts that the
men taken from the China were
engaged in efforts to interfere
with allied shipping operations in
eastern waters. The British for
eign office claims to have indispu-
table evidence that they were
guilty of acts which justified their
seizure.

Romance of Poverty.

The romance of American poverty is
that remaining in 1t is optional. You
may be born to poverty but you are not
born to remain there. There are thou
sands born TO uncertain existence and
retain their heritage. Other thousands
born to like disadvantage change the
grade and rise above it. The chains of
environment hold hard. but they are
easily broken by an intelligent, ener-
getic will. Many of life's finest noble
men are children of hard times. But
they wore fired with a fine sense Of
their own worth. and the will to realize
ideals. The fact that others have risen
give both example and motive. The
zeal of their own blood cd the rest.
And history has been proud to enroll
them among her favored sons. The
story is the romance of poverty.
