Claim Treaties Are Still in Effect


 An exchange states that . representative of the Berlin foreign cfice recently pointed out that the ancient treaties between the United States and Prussia were still in eff feet, and contained clause contrary to the usual rule, that they should not be invali- dated by the outbreak of hostilltles The status of the Prussian-American treaty of 1928 is d perplexing question. The treaties of l7G9 and 1928 allowed nations in case of war nine months in which to settle their affairs and leave hostile countries. This step would positively insure Amercans in Ger many and Germans in America against in ternment if hostilities break out and would prevent precipitate exodus from either country such as was general in Europe when the war began

WHAT HAPPENED TC GERARD
 AFTER BEING RECALLED

COPENHAGEN, Feb. 12.-Unitcd States Ambassador Gerard's refusal to sign the protocol reathrming treaties with the United States after he had ceased to perform his ambassadorial functions, or to telegraph for instructions unless he was permitted to use code, led Count Mongel2s to hint that re- fusal to sign the protocol might materially affect the status of Americans in Germany and their privileges of departure.
 The count mentioned specifically the cases of the American correspondents whom Ge- rard desired to take out with him, end whose fate WAS apparently thought to carry particular weight in American public opln- ion This intimatlcn of rupture in the diplomatic relations and the use of the newspaper representatives as supposedly important piece upon the diplomatic chess board. caused Gerard to declare rounaly that he could rot be c party to any such pressure, and that he doubted whether any Newspaper man could be sandDaggcd or in fuenced in any way by considerations of personal safety or convenience, and that hc must persist in his earlier expressed stand point regarding these negotiations. From that point nothing further was heard of the protocol or of the possibility of detainlng Americans

SERVICES STORY DUPLICATED

Robert W. Services story of the man who lived for months with the body of Sam Nc Gee in the frozen North, bound by prom ise to cremate him, was brought to mind recently by similar one, says Prince Al bert dispatch. Constable Barbour of the Royal Northwest mounted police, who is just in from his post, tells of a trapper in the far North, Sgvald Nilsson, whose only companion since October 26 was the body of Ole Heberg his partner.
 Nilsons shack was at Island lake, l5O miles north of the police district, far from any human habitation. The trapper's part her died of pneumonia, contracted while the two were pitching in for the winter. Nilsson feared he would be accused of the murder of his companion, so he kept the body until a member of the mounted police should come.
 Constable Barbour reached the shack De cember IS. His examination showed the man had died naturally, and he gave per mission to inter the frozen body
 He told Nilsson to make great pile of wood and keep it burning until the ground below was thawed, then to dig grave with the tools he had and put the body in. He was to mark the spot with a cross, according to the custom of the wilderness

BERLIN GREATLY SURPRISED
 WHEN ALLEGED PLOT FAILED

Berlin was astonished, officials and public alike, when President Wilson broke of dip lomatic relations with Germany, says a Berne, Switzerland, dispatch of February l3.
 The astonishment came because the otfl- cials had recently been assured by the German-Amercans in the United States that President Wilson would not break for fear of 8 German-American uprising. This same belief was held by the German public.
 Writing now from neutral Swiss soil, 1t is possible for the first time to tell of the developments which led Germany to her decision of relentless sea war.
 The determination to use the submarine in unlimited warfare dates back to NoVem- Der It was then that Germany's internal affairs were at the greatest crisis of the war.
 The Socialists warned the kaiser that un- less he moved for peace Dr. Schedemann and other Socialist leaders would head a militant movement to bring about peace This move came at a time when the Ger man people were destitute and Respondent.
 Simultaneously, the powerful land own CTS, controlling the food supply, and the equally powerful group of industrial lead CTS. controlling the munitions makers told the government the only way to end the war was by an unlimited submarine war fare. Those interests always have been anti American.

 The important factors in papermEing materials (spruce and poplar woods principally water power and fuel regions of Alaska provide abundance Other

 Incidentally the development of these will provide employment for permanent residents of Alaska and will bring nearer the day when the demand for statehood may be made with assurance and belief in the ultimate erection of sovereign state which shall governed by and for the benefit of its own people.

A VICIOUS PRACTICE
Fairbanks News Miner

To the surprise of many, some Fairbanks ans of American birth have been heard to utter almost reasonable remarks, if not indeed, reasonable In regard to the action being taken by the United States. That this course will get them into lot of trouble If the break with Germany or any other nation should become more serious Is certain.
 The News Miner has positive information that the government has had special rep re$entative in Fairbanks for months whose duty it has been to report rabid utterances on the war question and the names of the persons who showed an unneutral interest in the war.
 People in England, Canada and Germany have been informed for remarks no more serious than those uttered by some Fair banksans during the past few days, and 1t may be that arrests will take place here if the situation gets more serious than it is at present.

THE COMPENSATION LAW
Nome Industrial Workerl

A recent number of the Juneau Empire contains news item of interest. It tells of a suit filed by two plaintiffs who claim under the territorial law the sum of $500 for permanent disablement from the Treadwcll company.
 This suit is of especial interest The main argument used by the company and the company attorneys who manufactured 1t for the legislature to pass was that 1t would save the poor workers the long litigation and eliminate the lawyers who battened upon such suits for damages. The bill would enable prompt payment, eliminate lawsuits and satisfy the workers who stood in need of the money.
 This buncombe is now riddled with holes by the suits just filed. It places the facts clearly before us; shows that the workers are in identically the same situation as ever before with the difference that the amount that may be sued for is limited to certain paltry sum which will not pay the doctor : and hospital accounts against the untortu- nate sufferers.
 The Inustral Worker, when the text of the bill became known, characterized the measure as limitation of employers la biHty law" and that is what it IS seen today to be exactly.
 It is quite immaterial how grossly negli- gent may have been the company nor how criminal may have been the CGrelessnesS of the defendants, nor how indifferent to hu- man safety it may have been. It is lmma- terial how fagrant and wiIIful and aforc- thought neglectful may have been the com, pQny-thc men can sue for just so much and no more It is quite beside the question thst the hospital bills and doctors accounts may have run into sums far beyond the fee detcrmined upon-the law in 8 kindly man Ter limits the liability of the company.
 It is an infamous law. It Is a law with out even a scintiIIa of justification, and the mere fact that suits, tedious and costly, have to be filed by the sufferers shows that quite plainly
 The most elementary feature of com p2nsaton bill should present in clear terms the responsibility Of the employers for med icGl attendance and hospital care during such time ss the injured need it. And above all, its utility is nulhfed when suits have to be brought in the same Cld way as ever except that the amount that may be sued for is limited by law. But the whole thing Is such an irony that the equivocal title may ba the very last thing to be subjected to criticism And the joke Is upon the workers.

BRAZIL'S PLACE IN CRISIS

The Corriere de Manhu of Rio Janeiro in a leading editorial on "Pan- an-Amercansm" " is quoted in a dispatch of February l% as follows:
 ''Presdont Wilson has intervened in the European war, and thereby broken down the narrow limits of the Monroe doctrns But there is nothing in this act which k inconsistent with the traditional policy st America The war hqs new phase, in which no nation will be able to remain lso- lated
