because Dettra & Go. were using sub stitutes for the German dyes. Dettra & Co. then began suit for breach Of contract and the Syndicate Publish ing Company responded with coun- ter-claim that the British and Cana dian purchasers had refused to accept the dystuffs used as they were not German dyes, according to contract.
 To this counter-claim Dettra & Co. filed an answer declaring that the shortage of German dyestuffs was due to England's action in refusing them permission to ship to the United States; that it was impossible for them to get any of such coloring ma terial so long as England persisted in her blockade; and that their contract permitted them to use any dye that would produce fast colors.
 It is a curious anomaly which will permit a nation to use an enemy's goods and refuse to accept the order unless it is with made with the goods they Wal not allow their own country men to handle.

FUNSTON, LUCKY DOG
 OF THE SERVICE

Major General Frederick Funston, in charge of the expedition of the United States army into Mexico, is called the lucky dog of the ser vice." He is always on the scene ready to greet trouble when it aris- es. He was the one chosen to take Aguinaldo in the Philippines. He was on hand at San Francisco when earthquake and fire visited the coast. He was the one officer handy and the one selected when President Wilson ordered Vera Cruz taken. And he was the one chosen to capture Villa. When he went after Aguinaldo the fighting general displayed qualities which demonstrated that he is pe- culiarly fitted for his latest task. In the Philippines he had conceived a plan for the capture on Aguinaldo which met with approval. On March 6, 1901, he left Manila on the gun boat Vicksburg with two lieutenants, two captains, three insurgent off cers and so Macabebe scouts for Ca ciguran bay, which he reached at l o'clock in the morning of March 15. Funston and his party marched nine ty miles over rough mountain trails to the little town of Palanan, the headquarters of Aguinaldo, arriving eight days later. He sent scouts to 4,guinaldo, and the latter, thinking that they. were insurgent reinforce ments, received them, and found him. self surrounded. Funston took Aguinaldo single handed. Curious ly enough. among Aguinaldo's off cers was one named Villa. Not a command was even wounded.
 Failing in a competitive examina- tion for entrance to West Point
 where he would have been the class mate of many men now fighting un- der him, he went to Mexico and learned Spanish and Mexican char acter thoroughly.
 | He became a newspaper reporter

of Gomez and Garcia in the Cuban war of independence. He did bot anical work for the government in California and Alaska and once wan dered for twenty-four hours in the desert, after his horse had died from exhaustion, an- almost expired from thirst before finding help.

YBRID.DELEGATE.

In view of Delegate James Wicker sham's Jekyl and Hyde position on the Republican nomination, and the fact that he is working for the nomi- nation on other tickets, it might be a good lesson to him if the Republicans would refuse to nominate him or al- low his name to go before the con- vention at Seward next week. It is high time that Wickersham be made to pin his faith to one party, and to that party alone, if the terri tory is to receive any benefits from his position as delegate. He has declared himself Republican in the House Journal, and should be forced to become Republican in Alaska, if he desires the nomination and sup port of his party. Wickersham en- dorsed by the Progressive Democrat alleged convention; Wickersham f1irt- ing for the Democratic nomination. and Wickersham fishing for the Re- publican nomination is too incongru- ous for the average politician to stand.
 Whether he has or has not made a combination with Louis Shackle- ford remains to be seen; but in view of the Delegates strenuous denials over his OWE signature, we must give him the benefit of the doubt. But he should be forced to declare his politics and his policies before he is nominated by the Republicans. A elected by Republicans, Democrats and Progressive-Demo- crats can do neither party good and will harm all; and not only work harm to his party bu to the Terri tory as we'll

 moral is a good one and riddle is suf-
 fciently puzzling to inspire some in- terest. We are apparently confront ed with a description of our greatest common enemy. What is this monster? am more powerful than the com bined armies of the world. l have destroyed more men than

CANADA's TEUTON PARTIALITY

Canada would not ralse the Ger man flag within its borders, natu- rally; but neither will it raise the British flag unless that banner is made with German dyes. Nor is this to be explained by any atrocious pun on the dyeing or the dead. It is a fact that to the Canadian eye the flag of the motherland does not flash forth with the same radiance and majesty when colored with non-German dyes. This is soberly stated in the papers of a breach of contract suit recently filed in the United States District court. The New York Sun sums up the peculiar features of this case:
 Through an embargo on German dyestuffs, the British government is unconsciously curtailing the manu- facture of British flags. This para dox was disclosed in papers filed in the United States District Court yes terday in connection with breach-of- contract suits resulting from the in- sistence of British and Canadian flag concerns that none but German dyes be used in Union Jacks and other British flags.
 The papers reveal that early in 1915 John c. Dettra & Co.,, Inc, of Pennsylvania, entered into contract with the Syndicate Publishing Con- pany of g East Thirty-seventh street, to manufacture hundreds of thou sands of Union Jacks, which were to be shipped to England and Canada. The contract provided, according to the Syndicate Publishing Company for the use of German dyestuffs.
 The Syndicate Publishing Company received 12,4OO flags, and shipped them to Canada, where they were placed in bond, and in July, 1915, re- fused to take any more of the flags

SOUTHERN RAILWAY EARNINGS.

Washington, d. c., June 1.-During
April, 1916, Southern Railway COM
pany disbursed for labor, material,
supplies and other purposes $780,
831.95, of which $2,674,05809 or
1857 per cent was paid to individuals
and industries located in the South.
This amount represents more than 81
pc rcent of the moneys paid to the
company for transportation by those
located on the lines, according to fig
ures announced today by Comptroller
A. II. Plant, showing the results of
operation of the Company for the
month of April, 1916, and for the
period of ten months ended April 80,
1916, compared with the same month
and period in 1915 and 1914, exclu-
sive of interest, rentals and other in
come charges. The comparison with
1914 is made for the reason that in
1915 the effect of the business depres-
sion was reflected through the heve-
nues of the company.
Gross revenues, April, 1916, &c.
181 ,498, an increase as compared with
1915 of $968,713 or 1859, and as
compared with 1914 of $379,352 or
6.54%o.
Operating expenses, taxes and un-
collectible railway revenus, April,

pared with 1915 of $93O,610 or 5.8946,
and decrease as compared with 1914
OF $462,876 or 10.05%.
In addition to the foregoing operat-
ing expenses, the company spent in
April, 1916, for improvements to it's
roadway and structures $914,823.88 as
against $778,425.44 during April,

June p delayed by Censor) .-Ac-
cording to The Politiken, a Danish
steamer arrived today Thursday at
Friedricshaven which had witnessed
battle in the North sea. The steam
er reports that yesterday (Wednes-
day. afternoon 120 miles off Hans
holm it was stopped by two British
torpedo boats to have it's papers ex-
amined.
At the same moment a large Ger
man fleet appeared and the British
warships Immediately prepared for
action. The German fleet, which ap-
peared at full speed, consisted of five
large modern dreadnoughts, eight
cruisers and 20 torpedo boats and
destroyers.
Suddenly the Germans began firing
and shells splashed around the tor
pedo boat without effect.
The British ships went westward,
pursued by the German fleet. At 5
o'clock the cannonade was renewed
and continued until o'clock in the
evening. Two Zeppelins were seen
going at full speed northward to the
scene of the battle.

EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE! !
Calomel is Quicksilver and Acts Like
Dynamite on Your
Liver.

Calomel loses you day! You know
what calomel is. It's mercury; quick
silver. Calomel is dangerous. 1t
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
champing and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never be
put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish, con-
stipated and all knocked out and be-
lieve you need dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for SO cents large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up in
side, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you feel great.
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe.
