NO WARRIORS IN ARCTIC CIRCLE
Armies Not Recruited From People of
Polar Regions.

Battle history halts at the Arctic
circle. Beyond that human life is so
difficult to sustain that its wilful
waste is unthinEablc. The Lapps and
Samoycds Of Arctic Russia. like the
Eskimos Of North America and
Greenland. are so often compelled in
times Of death and famine TO sacri-
flee their aged weaklngs that this
form of death has become a vague
religious and social principle with
them.
The armies Of the great white cZar
like those of the king emperor says
Parsons Weekly, are not recruited
in such distant places; indeed. the
men are Of such meager stature and
intellect that military training is
next to possiblc-certainly not o
thing to be preserved within the days
Of a great campaign.
Tho population of Arctic Russia
both in Asia and in Europe, outside
the official and mercantile classes,
contains few elements which are truly
Slavonic, but in the minds Of insular
Britons the reputation OF Arctic
dwellers pertains to all the people
living in Serbia. which is always pOr-
trayed as a land of ice and snow and
unhealthy marsh.
The Serbian battllions, witch have
won so great a fame in the Russian
campaigns arc drawn mainly from
territory as near the equator as Great
Britain. II is undeniable that their
winters are terribly severe. but in the
hot summer crops of the utmost value

The real natives Of the Arctic can
endure hunger and faugue-can
march in their own fashion through
hurricane and blizzard-but their
value is rather to the explorer OF the
inhospitable north than to the sol

How goes the news OF war TO these
Arctic dwellers? Most casually and
slowly without a doubt. There are
colonies in the frozen north which
have not yet heard OF the Russo
japanese war and certainly have no
knowledge of the present war.
They are free from national duties
and taxation and their intercourse
even with fur traders Of blood alien
to their own, is meager indeed. There
are dialects spoken by those tribes
which have never been interpreted

CHILDREN IN THEIR LIFEBELTs.
The Sight, says Writer, Is by No
Means Il Pleasant One.

We went into the night with the
ship absolutely black from the out
side. Not a gleam of light showed
anywhere. We crossed the Mediter-
ranean without showing running
light for the fraction of a second.
Tho wheelhouse and Charthouse were
similarly dark. even the compass
light was so hooded that not a ray
was visible except from directly above
t.
The weather was plenty cold. so
we were warned to have our heavy
overcoats always handy, and we were
instructed especially not to take them
to our cabins at night, but to leave
them at the head of the main com
panionway. great pile of extra
blankets was put there. as well, to-
gether with lot of extra life belts.
And in this pile OF extra preservers
there were little ones-specially made
for children. II gave one Il deeper
impression of war. as the submarines
make il, to see those little life belts
there.
The signal to abandon ship was
given several times while we were in
the Mediterranean. Each time warn
ing had been given by notices posted
on the various bulletin boards so that
no nervous person should have any
unnecessary excuse for fainting or
doing anything else foolish when the
steam whistle cut loose it five short
blasts. The passengers always re-
sponded with rush, even though we
knew it was only practice.
A fat man wearing a heavy over
coat, and with huge life belt outside
that, presents an inspiring picture for
some purposes. but is liable to be not
especially reassuring when the ques-
tion is that Of climbing into a swing
ing boat from the deck Of a ship
which has been torpedoed by SUBJ
marine.
Rut, at that he is a pleasanter
sight than a group of little children
done up in their toy life belts. Some
thiEg about that made gorge rise
every time it occurred. and does SO
even yet in recollection. There is al
infamy about that which those who
are responsible for it can never out

Reporters Seek Official
Head of Sergeant at
Police Station.
SURPRISES STORIES
Complainants Say They
Were Long Suffering
With People S Servant.

1t is proba BILE that no official ac-
tion will be taken 10y the city com
M. sioners during their meeting this
morning upon the formal charges
wl<'h were filed last week with Com
missioner A. l.. Funk with reference
To the disposition OF Day Sergeant
Henry Premer, charging that as a
member of the police department the
sergeant has treated with contempt
scorn and utter disrespect citizens
and especially newspaper men who
have come in contact with the office
To secure information from the de
partment over which the officer is IN
control.
The charges, signed by all news
papermen who have had connection
with the police department in their
capacity of news gatherers. were pre-
scented to Commissioner Funk early
this week. To representative of
The World the commissioner said last
night that the charges would not ga
to the commissioners today, but that
he would hold conference with
Mayor simmons at which time they
would be discussed.
Is Boss There.
Ever since his Inauguration into Of
flee. Henry Prcmer apparently has
placed the public having dealings
with his department far beneath his
consideration and on several occa
sions mas become so arrogant that
those having dealings with the police
have been forced to take their mat
ters over the head of the sergeant to
Chief Lucas to receive consideration.
Since he has assumed the position
of sergeant there has been signlfl-
cant silence over the day shift in the
police department, and on several oc-
casions legitimate news stories have
been withheld from the reporters by
the sergeants orders.
The semi Sherlock Holmes atmos-
phere which has gathered about the
station during the day is brought to
its thickest during court sessions,
when it becomes the duty of the
sergeant to inaugurate all cases along
their route through trial on several
occasions he has refused to permit
the reporters to procure information
which would facilitate the gathering
of news, by suppressing the names and
charges, except as they were called in
the courtroom.
A late instance of his attitude to-
ward the reporters came forth during
the early part of the week when he
refused to tell newspaper man the
charge upon which "a defendant was
being tried, saying that a man with
brains would have found the matter
out beforehand.
on several occasions he has found
his time too fully occupied to assist
those seeking information by produc-
ing books which, as public property,
were supposed to be open as much to
the public as to police officials.
Mr.. Premer is the officer who, sew
eral months ago, while trying to hold
up two holdup men, was himself held
up by the man on whom he had
drawn his gun.

The presidents decision to invite
the railroad presidents to the White
