VIII Mr.. Wilson Be Blackmaileo
Further =?

II there was any doubt in any one'
mind as TO who would benefit by Mr.. VII
sons peace gesture, it should be abolished
now. Coolly, skilfully, completely tn
Germans. in their response to Nh Wilson's
note. have turned that document 70 their
own ends. The very promptness Of Their
response shows their enthusiasm.
And what is the next step? Is Mr. vii
son to be blackmailed By the threat Of
German submarine campaign into an IN
dorsement Of the German proposal for
conference Of the belligerents? 1t is be
vond all cayil that the underlying motive
Of his first action, disclosed by the haplcss
Lansing, was TO prevent, II possible
now German submarine campaign, with all
its incidental perils 20 the United States
Will he now continue to give force and
character TO the German manGuvre under
the same threat?
Every one ought at least TO recognize the
possibilities Of the situation In which Mr..
Wilson and his country now find them
selves. Conceivably, Mr.. Wilson will now
take the opportunity supplied by the Ger
man response TO retreat from dangerous
position while there is yet time. He may
even find in the German response the basis
for a prompt reputation Of al association
with German effort and frank disavowa'
Of sympathy with It.
But it is just as possible that ne may &C
cept the German response as thing dc
serving attention, continue TO enlist the
support Of neutrals, who, like the United
States, are more interested in personal
safety than in principles, and thus exert
pressure upon the Allies to comply with
the German desires.
Mr.. Wilson is now In the position Of a
man who has been subjected TO blackmail-
ing processes and, having temporarily
yielded, has a chance to escape. But will
he seize the opportunity? II he does not,
we must all Of Us look forward TO seeing
our country and our government working
in close cooperation with the Germans TO
procure that peace which the Germans
either desire or profess TO desire for their
own purposes.
II is an interesting situation, but it
hardly contributes to national pride, and il
may easily increase, rather than diminish
national peril.

Blunt Truth

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your Christmas Day leader is the
blunt truth-"America is not pro-Ally. and 1t
never will be-"
II is idle for grand old patriots like George
Haven Putnam to recall that the Lusitania
notes have brought only another Vera Cruz
crawl from our government Our President
represents majority OF the Republicans and
Democrats in Congress They are true to
scuttle to-day as they were when they backed
the McLemore resolution. After March they
will be more so. The country has spoken. We
do not favor France or England. We are de-
terrnined that we shall not understand them
or the issues of this war. II is very unpleas-
ant. We are young and rich. We do not wish
TO be bored.
We can congratulate ourselves on the

Lord Haldane

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In your article, "A Victim Of En-
thusiasr." you err on the side Of leniency
toward Lord Hsldane Of Closn.
British unpreparedness for the present war
can be attributed to this sinister hgure OF
British politics, who drugged the nation into
a false sense OF security. claiming that the
yodlike natives Of his spiritual home" de-
sired only peace. Shortly before relinquish-
ing his office as Lord High Chancellor this
British Bryan admitted that during his so
iourn in his beloved Fatherland In 1911 he
had heard and seen things which alarmed
him, and that he had been convinced then OF
the Kaisers warlike intentions. he did moth
ing, however, to prepare tho people for the
coming storm.
His achievement at tho War Office was
limited to changing the name OF volunteer
into territorial" reducing the already too
small army by few corps, and q few keen
strokes in economy, one OF the best being the
dismissal Of 600 specialists from Woolwich
Arsenal, who we're thus compelled to seek
emplovment elsewhere, and found Tin
Rrupps, at Essen.
II ia mistake TO assume that only "agf-
tated souls" are moved to act against this
doubtful statesman, for Britons generally
now hold him in very low esteem. While 1t
NAV be going too far to call him a traitor,
certain It is that he is by no means con-
spicuous for his patriotism BE recently gave
800 to help dependent Huns In English In
ternment camps, but as yet there 10 no record
OF his having contributed anything toward
the relief OF distressed Britons
AS that grand old fighter, Lord Beresford,
once remarked: at i. pity Hsldane is not
a. wise as he looks" p RUDDIMAN.

sion to discharge its plain duty of applying
the award nationally, the decision OF the
switchmens board might be hailed as a
complete revindication Of the principle OF
arbitration in railroad disputes-an evil
dence that railroad employees and com
NAMES can still settle their disputes II
they choose to do so, without intimidatlng
Presidents and Congresses by political
threats or terrorizing the country by the
menace Of transportation tie-ups and IN
dustrial civil war.

Pro-AlIy to the Core

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: This nation is pro-Ally TO the core
We no more want Germany to increase her
navy after the war than England does. Our
interests are identical Mr.. Wilson is in 9
hole. or was in one, with Germany swapping
her slaver's whip on the submarine question
IN his face. He is trying to get out of it By
sending this cold blooded, selfish note that
will show Germany where we stand, even at
the cost Of being misunderstood by "the Al
les Mr.. Wilson is master Of English, and
. also selfish man. II he were not, he could
nave worded his note far differently. As II
is the submarine horrors will go on and Mr.
Wilson will get what is surely coming to him.

She had k-ne going, and that was going some. As Nen Gwyn In Mistress Nell" Mise Pickford departs little from her usn- al sphere but her own individuality is there.

Last night tho A. B. basket ball team turned out for practice and about 20 were in their suits and playing. The boys made a splendid showing and without Q doubt a team will be in the field which will make the Tread well aggregation hump to beat them when the two teams clash in the near future.
 Saturday night Q game will be played with the Juneau High School team and the 4. B.s win try and take their recently won laureIs away from them.
 Under the coaching of Physical Di- rector Pat Scott the boys will be glv- en plenty of hard work to put them in the pink of condition for the coming game.
 Among those who turned out last night for practice and who made ex. ceptionally good showings were Hen derson, Momb, Skoog and Kennedy. The team will eventually be picked from the following who are turning out for regular practice: Jim Momb. J. J. Kennedy. Ned Carlson, Joe skoog, Frank Sweeney, L. D. Henderson, Frank Burley Pat Reilly. Ralph Kletz- ing, Harry H. Townsend, and Ed. Brennan.

 B. L. Thane, manager cf the Alasi:a castineau Company and an ardeiit fan. today stated that without Q doubt there win bel four mining teams ln tho field this season.
 "You can say for mo that there will undoubtedly be four teams this year. distributed ct Treadwell, Thane. Per severance and the Alaaka-Juneau. The management of an tho companies have expressed themselves in favor of plan of that kind and it will prob. ably be woi.ked out in that way.

 Professional baseball tends to breed m feeling between the two towns and tho management of tho teams and t is unnecessary. If the mining com- panies arc represented by amateur teams the boys become acquainted with each. other and eventually be- come Friends causing better feeling with all concerned.
 Now let 1t be understood right here # things work out this way, there win be no Importation of players. The mining companies will organize their teams from the material they already have and no man will be given @ job just because he can play baseball That would not do as 1t would be lit to better than importing players.
