STRANGE STORY OF
 THE GREAT CONFLICT

Special to Gateway by United Press) LONDON, Feb. 5.-A story that rivals fiction has reached London from remote section of the Shetland Islands:
 A mother, watching over her sick child in cottage on the shore of a sea inlet, saw German U-boat sub merge in the channel way. During the day the doctor had called saying that a British warship was expected to anchor in the inlet before many hours. This meant peril to the 800 lives of the crew of the battleship.
 Leaving her child alone in the cot tage, the mother made her way to the postofiice and reported what she had seen. Returning quickly to the side of the child, she found it dead. ] Before long a British mine sweeper entered the inlet. As it did so the submarine came to the surface. There was a sharp fight. The mine sweeper gave a plunge and went down. Boatmen from the shore res cued the drowning crew.
 The submarine prepared to depart. When it reached the outward head land it came face to face with the British warship, Another battle en- sued and the submarine was damaged and captured. On board the U boat was Mangus Laurensen, husband of the heroic mother whose baby had died. Laurensen had been captured the day before when the submarine sank his ship.
 Laurensen and his wife that same afternoon sat in their cottage brood ing over the death of their child, yet happy that the father himself had been spared. A knock sounded at the door. The captain of the battleship was ushered in. He warmly congrat- ulated Mrs. Laursensen for her hero ism, asking:
 "Wnl you accept an immediate in- stallment of your reward?"
 "As you please" she answered.
 The captain turned to the door. As he did so, British jacktar enter ed holding at arms length a faxen haired, blue eyed infant.
 "Wir you adopt him 2" asked the Captain.
 The husband and wife readily and willingly assented.
 The child, concludes the story had been rescued from a British steamer which had fallen prey to a submarine,

NEWS NOTES

When r. H. Bailey and George Richardson left Seward on the Ala meda two very fine boys were lost to Seward, at least for a time. The reason this is said is to make public the feeling of the people of this town that the Railroad Commission seems to have had an extraordinary knack of getting rattling good fellows on it's staff.
 A racing man has now arrived in the city and has made the suggestion that the Johnston ranch at Mile Six be purchased and converted into a field for sporting events. He believes the population which Seward will have in a short time would warrant the transaction. The matter was re- ferred to this paper for mention through a prominent business man who does not wish to have his name used.
 Ernest B. Hussey, inspector gener- al of the Scottish Rite Masons, has returned to Seattle from Cordova and will not visit Seward this time. This information came to the Gateway after the publication of the news that Mir. Hussey was in the territory.
 Kelly Olson, whom Colonel Revell describes as a prospector and guide, arrived in the city last evening from Cooper creek. Mir. Olson reports plenty of moose on the lower Kenai. The man with the extraordinary mix ture of Swede-Irish names is a pop ular oldtimer in several camps,

TRADE WAR CERTAIN
United States Should Begin Prep
arationS for II.
Tendency In Europe Has Long Been
Toward Greater Protection for Ma
tional ndustries-commerciai
Treaties Hamper America,

Tariff revision viii be worldwide
following the close of the European
war. If it had not been for the great
European clash. Germany today would
be revising her tariffs.
1t would be far better for the United
States were the commercial treaties of
this country limited by a term of
years. The present commercial treaties
OF the United States are not merely
useless commercially. but are an ac-
tual hindrance to the development OF
American trade. II was because of
these treaties that the ditferential
tariff rate designed to build up an
American merchant marine had to re-
main imperative in the present tariff
law.
Other governments will be able to
mobilize their resources and put into
effect TIE kind of tariff most certain
ly designed to build up their indus
tries. In Europe the commercial pre-
paredness of the nations now at war
must be undertaken after the armies
have returned from the field. But in
Europe the nations have forms OF gov
eminent that lend themselves to de-
cisiFe and radical development plans.
1t has been noticeable that the tend.
ency in tariff revision N both France
and Germany was toward greater pro-
lection for national industries.
Neither OF these countries has ever
had any temporary reversion to free
trade or so-called tariffs for revenue
only. After the war the tendency to-
ward greater protection win be strong
er than ever Even Great Britain, with
her need for foodstuffs. is swinging
strongly toward protection, and econ
omists predict that the outcome OF the
present European struggle will be the
conversion of England TO protection.
Americas opportunity for preparing
for the trade war is at hand. Delay
will not increase the advantages of
the United States II is conceivable
that this nation by waiting until Eu-
rope launches her tariff preparedness
program will lose the golden oppor-
tunlty OF making permanent the pres.
INT national prosperity.

EurOpean standard Not Wanted.

No obstacle. President Wilson says,
should be put In the way Of American
business. Which is like saying no OBJ.
stacle should be put In the way of a
"citizenry armed" taking care Of itself
without the government. II Is as alb
surd for the government to allow this
country to be made the dumping
ground for cheap foreign products In
competition with our own industries
as to tear down our coast defenses. 1t
is the function and duty OF the govern
ment TO protect it's citizens In peace
or war Fine-spun philosophizing about
equal opportunity cannot overcome
the fact that the world is not fighting
us on equal terms. that Americans do
no. want a standard of living or wages
such as prevails abroad. and that we
want to help the world upward, not to
have ourselves dragged down to the
foreign level.

Republican Arguments.

The Republicans in the coming cam.
paign will show that the nnfavorable
condition OF tie national finances is
due TO Democratic mismanagement
and TO Democratic misgovernment-
They win point out that the actual ef-
fects OF the Underwood bill before the
war proved II inimical to the country's
business, and that II sacrificed revenue
now badly needed to put the nation
in a condition of adequate defense
They viii impress the need for indus
trial and commercial defense, no less
than military and naval. which can be
secured only by protection by tariff
against TIE dumping OF foreign prod
ucts that is sure TO follow the close OF
the war And. If they are wise. they
win insist upon the tariff being taken
out of politics by the creation OF a
tariff commission for the ascertain
ment of the fundamental facts essen
tial to any businesslike disposition OF
this problem.
