realized II enough-at this present
moment 1t is almost impossible to do
anything positive I'm the field OF for
eign affairs, because foreign nations
have been led TO suppose that there
may be change in our foreign az
fairs.
Foreign nations have been led TO
believe that a dominant element in the
Republican party is I'm favor OF draw
Ing the United States into the Euro
pear war. and they have been told,
with abundant evidence, that it is
probable that IL the Republicans sue
ceed we shall enter upon a policy OF
exploitation OF our neighbors I'm Mex
leo. That is the whole moral OF every
criticism that / read, and until the
people of the United States have spok-
en- 1t is extremely difficult to come to
any definite conclusion about anything
that touches our relations either to
Europe or to Mexico. myself do not
doubt the result, but there are some
who affect to doubt it.
III want you To realize the part that
the United States must play. 1t has
been said, my fellow citizens, been
said with cruel emphasis I'm some quar-
ters, that the people of the United
States do not want to fight about any
thing. That is profoundly false. But
the people OF the United States want to
be sure what they are fighting about,
and they want TO be sure that they
are fighting for the things that will
bring to the world justice and peace.
Define the elements; let us know
that we are not fighting for the pre-
valence OF this nation over that. for
the ambitions OF this group of nations
as compared with the ambitions Of
that group OF nations; let us once be
convinced that we are called into a
great combination to fight for the
rights OF mankind, and America will
unite her force and spill her blood
for the great things which she has al
ways believed in and followed.
America always is ready to fight
for things that are American. She
does not permit herself to be embroil-
ed. but she does know what Il would
be to be challenged. And when once
she Is challenged, there is not a man
in the United States, I venture to say,
so mean, so forgetful OF the great
heritage Of this nation, that he would
not give everything he possessed, in
Guiding life itself, to stand by the hon
OF Of this nation.
What Europe Is beginning to real
ize is that we are saving ourselves for
something greater that is to come
We are saving ourselves in order that
we may unite in that final league Of
nations In which 4 shall be under
stood that there is ne neutrality where
any natien is doing wrong. and that
final league OF nations which must I'm
the providence OF God come into the
world where nation shall be leagued
with nation I'm order TO show all man
kind that no man may lead any ma
tion into acts Of aggression without
having all the other nations OF the
world leagued against g."

During this time, members of the posse say. he was engaged keep ing the frost rubbed from part of the window glass as though watching for the next move of the posse. After the threat to shoot through the cab in Stoker asked for Ike Evans and intimated that be would surrender to him. but was told that no one there would hurt him. Then he came out without a gun and Emsweiler asked him to advance from the cabin some distance in to the open. Some mem bers of the posse called to him to hold up his hands but Emsweiler stop. ped this for fear of exciting the man, When he had moved some dis tance from the cabin Emsweiler ad' vanced and got between him and the cabin to prevent his return. Hand cuffs were then placed on him and he was brought to the city.

STORY OF CAPTURE
 OF WALTER ST0KER.


 Walter Stoker, who shot and killed one Hendrickson and dangerously wounded another man by the name of Irving on the government railroad about Is miles out from Seward on Thanksgiving day, Is now in custody in Valdez. having been brought over from Seward today on the steamer Evans. Mir. Stoker. while not insane. is apparently not possessed of all his normal mental faculties. One of the first questions asked by the prisoner after his first night in jail was whether his mitts had been found. the loss of the mitts and the fact that he had the idea that the union labor men were against him. being the cause as near as can be learned. Of the shooting
 Stoker admits killing Hendricks. stating that he shot him because he was a union man. It was gathered from his remarks that in Fairbanks or some other place Stoker had once acted as a strike breaker.
 The story of the capture of the prisoner is given in the Seward Gate way as follows:
 Stoker was arrested at the cabin of trapper named Lodge on Satur- day afternoon about o'clock. by a posse of men headed by Charles Ems weller.
 On the night after the shooting of the two men Stoker went to the cabin of Lodge and stayed the night there Believeing that the authorities would find his there he left the next day and went into the mountains where he stayed by a huge bonfire that night. He went back once to his camp on the railroad to get a load of supplies and it was probable that during that trip he met Dan Sullivan He took out of the camp a bag Of provisions. 8 large quantity of matches and a sleeping bag. This sleeping bag was thrown away by him as his pack was 100 heavy and it was the bag seen by Marshal Evans. The wet ice-cov- cred clothing noticed by Sullivan were caused by the fact that Stoker fell through the ice while crossing swamp in the woods. Emsweiler and his aids had followed the tracks of Stoker through the soft snow in all directions. They saw the smoke of . the camp fire and also Stoker's tracks in that direction and they trailed him. On the way they met fresh tracks which led in the opposite direction, showing that Stoker was on his way back to the railroad again. Emsweil- er followed those tracks 10 the swamp azd across to the place where Stoke broke through the ice On Saturday the trail led the pursuers to the Lodge cabin and on arrival there smoke was seen issuing from the chimney They knew they had their man. With the pursuing party was Jackson. the partner of Stoker in cut ling ties. and Jackson called on the hunted man to come out and give himself up. At the time around the cabin were Wild Bill Dewitt, Charley Emsweiler, Bill Weaver. Percy Pull len, Jackson and three others. All took care to keep a tree between the house and themselves. Jackson was behind a tree which is believed to be some 50 or 60 feet from the cabin. Stoker at first refusec to answer or 10 come to the door but later came out for a moment He did not stay bur went back into the cabin again, apparently deciding not to come out
