GERMANY A BRUTE, SAYS
 NOTED AMERICAN WRITER
"What a Ragefest There Will Be When People Learn the
 Truth" He Asserts.

Make no mistake about the German empire. Have no pity for it. It is not a modern nation. It is n middle age brute, writes Ellis Parker Butler of the Vigilantes.
 In the dark ages the robber barons were the curse of Europe. From their castles they sallied forth with blud- geons and battlcaxes, riding rough shod over the lands of their friends. raiding and robblng their neighbors. holding captives for ransom, stealing food. nioney and virgins, making tho outraged lands pay the expenses of the raids that ruined them.
 England, France. Russia, Italy, Can ada, Australia. the United States-all these as they entered this present war planned great systems of war tax finance, but Germany did not. You hear now and then that the GermaR war finance plan was different. 1t was. The German plan was the plan of the brutes of the dark ages. The German chancellor has explained it. The cost of the war would be met by indemnities exacted from enemies.
 Put 1t in plain words thus: For years Germany sat hugging her bludgeon, hoarding her money. talking and toast ing ."The dayr' The day of what? The day when. like the brutes of the middle ages, she would bounce on her neighbors, rob them of land and wealth. leave them wrecked, bleeding and ruined. "The day" meant the day of the raid, the day when the same old robber lust would have its same old rlut of slaughter and rapine. Ger many needed no war tax systems. Her victims would pay for the war.
 Well, but Like q brute she strodc across her friendly neighbor, Belgium. When the day came she put her foot on Belgium's face and leaped at tho throat of France. She hoped to have France begging for mercy before Eng land could raise her hand in help. She would turn and throttle Russia before England awoke, and France and Rus sia. bleeding and prostrate, woun empty their coffers. France and Rus sia, prostrate, were Germnny's wnr tax system. Robber baron! The dark age cutthroat come again!
 But the foot slipped. The plan went asllew. Today Germany-the people of Germany-are just learning that the robber kaiser is not to come home with hands dripping foreign gold. What! We must pay? Gott in him. mel, what for a robber kaiser is thisY"

While through our parks and con- mons in New England we find statues of the early pilgrim father with d staff iu his hand and the Bible under his arm. he-c in these republics we find in the parks the mailed warrior with lance and sword. the emblem of the Spanish adventurer who first came to drive out the Indian from his posses sions, to loot his gold and to place upon the country and it's inheritance the stamp of his ruthless ambitious.-Chris- tfan Herald.

NEW DELAY IN BIG
 CARGO FLEET PLAN
Washington Wonders if G0Gth-
 aIS Is Halted Again.

The entire shipbuilding plan of the government, as well as the requisition of ships, has been temporarily sus- pended.
 General George w. Goethals, general manager of the Emergency Fleet corpo- ration, apparently has been made to realize that his announcement of definite policy for building ships and government plants was premature. How long the delay will last could net be learned either from officials of the shipping board or from General Goe- thals' office. General Goethals refused to discuss the matter in any way.
 Persons in close touch with General GOethGls asserted that request for delay had been received from Chair man William Denman of the shipping board. Chairman Denman denied there had been any request for delay and stated his only communication with General Goethals was a request for further information concerning the program announced last week by the fleet corporation manager.
 Announcement of the shipbuilding de- lay immediately recalled the differ ences of opinion between General Goe- thals and Chairman Denman and re- vived rumOrs that definite instructions as to the procedure in building and requisitioning ships had been sent either to General Goethals or Chair man Denman by President Wilson. The existence of such letter is ad- mitted, and in the light of events it is generally believed Chairman Denman was its recipient

Valuable Skins Come from Nearly All Upper Yukon River
 Points.
JUNEAU IS ON FUR MAP
GoIdStein Will Purchase Over S1OO.OO0 in FurS the Coming Sea
 son.

] Charles GJldStein, Aiaska's leading | fur buyer. received today from the north fur shipments, the aggregate value og which is $I5.OOO The ship
 ments mostly came from the upper
 waters of the Yukon from as far
 north as Carmacks anJ as far south
 as the Atlin country. They include | turs from the Whitehorse and Car cross and most of the other interior points. Among the furs are silver grey. cross and red foxes, lynx, mar tens. minks and others.
 This shipment increases the value of the stock of furs in the store of Mir Golds.eins Emporium to over S4O.OO0 and Mr. GoldstCin expects to have more than SlOO,OOO worth of Iurs on hand at the close ot the pres. eut season.
 These shipments are made Co Mir. Goldstcin by trappeTs and hunters and traders on approval Where the value of the shipments are SIOO or over. Nr. Goldstein promptly wires The shipper his offer for the furs. Mr. Goldstein has given his per. sonal guarantee of satisfaction to all shipping to him that if his offer is not satisfactory he will reship the IurS back Co those sending them, charges prepaid, or he will shi them to any address in the cOun- try they might designate, prepaid. It is d fine testimonial for the Goldstein way of doing business that he hes never he'd to rcship a con signment of Curs.
 Shippers say that they find that they can make on an average at least a dollar 8 skin by shipping to Mir. Goldstein instead of 10 the States. In addition 10 that they gel; immediate action. Mir. Goldstein re. ports on shipments made to him within 2i hours after it's receipt, an1 iC the amount involved is $lOO or more. the report is made by tele. graph This enables the shipper to know where he i- quickly and en- abIec him % make plans for the future with certainty
 The activity of Mir Goldsten in the fur business is fast making Ju- neau one of the great recognized fur markets. 1t will be the great est in America" said NIr Goldsteiu this morning. If fair treatment and honest and efficient business meth 0is cen make it. We absolutely guarantee satisfaction to those ship ping furs to us. If our prices and g-cdirg are not satisfactory to a shipper We do not want 10 take his 'urs. and will return them to him 5r ship them where he dc5lgnates and pay tine chcrges. We pay the freight and express charges on all fUrs sent Co us. Those who trade with us must be satisfied, because We are in the business to stay and satisfaction is tho only basis on which an enduring buiness can be maintained"
 Alr. Goldstein says he has not yet discovered a dissatisfied chippcI of furs, and all that he asks is that trappers. hunters and traders give him trial. He believes that he can give them so much more sGtis- faction than they have experienced in the past that they will continue to ship their furs Co him.
 NTr. Goldsteia's fur business this year will be the largest ne mas yet ione in Alaska.
