THE AMERICAN EAGLES"

If there is one aspect of war that
retains anything of romance and
glamour, it is the aerial fighting.
All the rest Of it is sordid and horri-
BILE. Deeds of individual heroism are
lost sight of in the dull. grey picture
Of the trenches. But the stories of the
battles in the air are as sensationally
thrilling as any of the tales Of the
knights Of old, before war became
wholesale murder by machinery.
The nerves tingle when reading OF
the daring of the airmen who dive
headlong at an adversary, or slide
backwards on their tail" to escape an
attack, or swoop low over some ma
chine gun concealed behind the
enemy's lines. One of the most sensa-
tional exploits, was that Of the French
aviator who, when attacked by two
Germans, pretended to have lost con-
troll of his machine. He allowed it to
side-dive toward the earth. His OPP
ponents thought it wrecked and
watched it plunge to destruction as
they thought. A few hundred feet
from the ground the aviator righted
his machine. emptied the contents of
his machine gun into the enemy
trenches, and shot with dazzling speed
across to his own lines.
1t is this branch of the service that
seems to have appealed most to
adventurous young Americans, and in
none can they be OF more use, An
aviator is said to be worth 1000 infan-
trymsn, and already 100 of them have
arrived in France, in addition to those
already members of the French flying
corps. They are the real American
Eagles.

WHAT mo INTERFERENCE"
MEANS,

OF course the imperial German gov
eminent and those whom it is USING
for their own undoing, are seeking to
obtain pledges that the war will end
in the restoration of the status QUO
ante-bellum. II was the status quo
out of which this Ubiquitous war issued
forth, the power of the imperial Ger
man government within the empire,
and it's widespread domination and in
fiuence outside of that empire"
That was President Wilson's answer
to the mo indemnity, no annexation,
no interference with the rights of 9TH
er nations" program that originated in
Berlin and was acclaimed by the Ger
man delegates to the Stockholm con-
ference, and by the Nonpartisan
league.
Secretary of War Baker told the
citizens Of Georgetown recently, that
there is not living a child under 3
years of age in all Poland. Even the
babies were trampIed out in the
marching back and forth Of the Rus
sian and German armies. In many of
the smaller European countries. boys
of and 10 are shouldering muskets
to fight.
II I am permitted to put down the
cause in a single sentence" said Mr..
Baker 1t Is because a certain group
OF nations have set gain above God,
have set national ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
above national righteousness and fair
dealing"
America is fighting chiefly to pre-
vent a recurrence Of such tragedies,
and that aim cannot be achieved
through a program of no interior
ence".

A MAN FROM ALASKA.

After being isolated in unexplored
lands of Alaska for more than 81
years, q. L. Skaggs, an American pros
pector and soldier Of fortune, came
back last month to civilization to be-
hold the worlds progress during two
decades.
skaggs arrived in Chicago direct
from the north country. The clerk at
the Auditorium hotel had TO register
for him. He had forgotten his pen
manship. The automobile, the tele-
phone, and the electric light were
strange to him.
During the 21 years the veteran
prospector has traversed all of the
bad lands of Alaska ventured far into
the interior Of Siberia, and has touch
ed points In the Arctic zone that few
of the explorers have seen. He says
he has made and lost fortunes.

RACE RIOTS IN ST. LOUIS.

The papers are arriving giving in detail the account of the fearsome rioting in East St Louis. It is not often in the history of the world that one reads of such Darbarities. No atrocity that has been reported from Europe has equalled the atrO- cious barbarism that was manifested by apparently civilized white men and women in these terrible riots and with the consent and approval of the authorities. Imagine driving half burned and horribly mutilated negroes who sought to escape from their burning dwelling, back in to the flames, or butchering them in cold blood. Yet those things were done and a St. Louis paper describes a well dressed woman wanting 10 have access to the wounded negro ia one instance so that as she expressed it "she might cut the heart out Of him..
 Now these things were not done by nation at war against warning nation, but among citizens of a ma ton not in civil war of different race and color
 It is very important to remember that under normal conditions these people are also wholly normal. 1t is important to remember that with out the excitement of some abnorm- al feeling. developing a fanatic craze. they are much the same as the average person.
 There appears to be no doubt that all human beings are much the same. The only thing needed is to give them some impulse and straightaway, atrocities will be forthcoming and there will be re- version to some savage type that can be relied upan to have strains in everyone of us.
 Only the other day in Seattle an attempt was made to attack the in- dustrial Workers of the World, and were it not for the swing common sense of the city authorities and the citizens generally, it could under the excitement of the moment have been as bad and as terrible as that which took place in East St. Louis. Nor can it be overlooked that some i intrcests right now in Seattle are endeavoring to bring about this very

condition and the I. W. W. men themselves have appealed to the President against the reversion to savagery which the Post Intelli- gencer so lawlessly urged against the industrialists.
 It is such instances as these which serves to moderate the affected con demnation of outrages committed by nations at war. They are not characteristic of the nations. They are merely examples of what people will do who allow themselves to re- vert to savagery under the uncon- trolled impulse of their individual passions, famed and excited still more by others similarly affected and acting with them.
 There is no doubt that reactions set in. Those reactions are well de- scribed in the horrorstricken sent en- ces with which eye witnesses describe the scenes in which they participant ed and without feeling any horror which is later on theirs.

SIBERIA.

The prospect of Siberia being opened up for miners of all nations may be just yet far away and hardly within hailing distanCe-hOwever however this may be we do not know. But when that time does come about, there is going to be a rush to that section of the country which will make the klondike sick in comparison. Enough is known of the Anadir country to know that It has great wealth and the only thing that has prevented it's develop ment heretofore has been the more or less rrohibitory laws of the Rus sian Empire.
 With the republic it is different. Doubtless there will be less inclina- nation to prevent any person reap ing the reward of their own indus try. even if there is a definite effort made to prevent some rich concern from grabbing up the entire distrct. The coal, timber and minerals that are accessible would seem to indi- cate it will be good country for a poor man. and none the worse be- cause the red flag is flying over it instead of the standard of imperial ism.
 The likelihood that Nome, al though in another nation, is to be one of the main outfitting points for Siberia. is assured in itself. It can hardly be doubted and it will do mere to restore Nome to it's ancient glory than the fortunes that may or may not lie back of it's hills, but which are being slow enough in thoir own development. Nome, logi- cally. will be the point of depar- ture for the new Fl Dorado and the time is coming when stampeders will fill the streets. It may take some time yet but eventually it will cone.

suppression of the truth.

Ths however can only go on for a certain length of time. When pub lie service corporation, in tl:e~ pur- suit of profits adopts the publlc-be- damned policy of sacred memory, the public gets up upon its hind legs. When the days of strap hang ing, over crowding and ill timed ser vice arrive, not even the secret sdr- pression of the facts in the news papers prevent the almost blind common people observing the fact They observe it in Seattle. They, in Seattle, would be quite indiffer- ent to the lowest kind of wages, pro vided the service rose to any degree of excellence Hence it may be con cluded that the public is not in sym pathy with the strikers because they are under paic and over worked but because the public gets a poor ser vice from the monopOy.
