GERMAN AUToCRACY's COLOSSAL CRIME

(New York World)
 German criminal responsibility for the war is again definitely fixed by Henry Morgenthau former American Ambassador to Turkey, in signed article that appears in today's issue of The World.
 MT Morgenthau contributes two new and start ling pieces of evidence by of proof that the war had been plotted and agreed upon long before the Austrian ultimatum to Serbia sent.
 The first is admission made to the American Ambassador by the Austrian Ambassador to Constan personally informed him that war was inevitable be- cause of the situation in the Balkans. This was many weeks before the assassination of the Austrian Grown Prince at Sarajevo, which was made the excuse for the ultimatum to Serbia.
 Still damning is the account given to MT. Morgenthau by Baron Wangenheim, the German Am bassador Constinope, of conference held in Der lin early in July, 1914, in which the time for the beginning of the war was decided upon This con ference presided by the Kaiser himself and the actual commencement of hostiltes was post poned two weeks in order to enable the German if nanciers to complete their work.
 There have been of such conference and heated denias from Berlin, but MT. Morgenthaus Is information came personally from Baron Wangenheim, who was present and who reported to the Kaiser that Turkey would be ready when needed.
 At the time of this conference there was no sus picion of war anywhere among the German people as little among the French British people. But war had already been decreed. The German auto cracy headed by the Kaiser had decided to plunge the world into blood in desperate attempt to make Germany the master of Europe and thence of the world.
 It was not an accidental war as Mr Morgen- thau shows, but cod-blooded, calculated exploit in Wetmacht After years of preparation Germany was
 
 the sought and the begun
 Mir MOrgenthaus narrative ought to have it's immediate effect upon those Americans who delude themselves into believing that peace is possible with out the overthrow of Prussiansm and the creation of responsible government in Germany. It should have it's effect well upon Americans who lag. gng in their subscriptions to the second Liberty Loan But nowhere else should it have effect in Germany. if the German government dares to permit it's publication
 Recent revelations of the State Department at Washington have shown slimy record of German cOnSpraCieS everywhere, but MT MOrgenthauS eyi- dence proves that the German government conspred against the German people shamelessly it con. spired against everybody else. They, too vic tims of German autocracy, and the that was presented to them of self-defense a war of Prussian aggression undertaken in part to stfe the new growth of political liberty in Geramny
 Without punishment adequate to this colossal crime justice is dead in the world, and punish. ment is adequate which does not begin with the tirpaton of Kasersm and absoutism.

MORGENTHAU'S ARTICLE

It is based and com. ments upon signed article from the pen of Henry Morgenthau, formerly American Ambassador Tur, kuy and for many years prominent in New York banking and financial circles which appeared in the New York World of October 18th MT Morgenthau makes the bold statement that the was not an accident, neither did it about through a tenn. porary breakdown of European diplomacy. He adds Tt was carefully planned and deliberately executed in cold blood. The spirit and motive behind it were the spirit and motive that brought about war between Prussia and Denmark the between Prus- sia and Austria and the between Prussia and France.

Writing in the Ketchikan Progressive Miner O Alaska Day, Delegate Charles A. Suzer pays a glow ng tribute to Alaska, predicts a better day comin 0 the Territory and urges generous support to tn United States Liberty Loan.
 Mir Sulzer's letter in the Progressive Miner fo ows:
 Fifty years ago today Alaska was formal ly transferred to the United States by Russia No greater transaction made. Six hundred thousand square miles of land con taining the richest resources earth were purchased for two cents an acre The great est fisheries of the world were thrown in for luck. No yet knows or even imagines the possibilities of Alaska It. will keep on surpris ing the world for generations. The next fifty years will be far different than the past fifty years in Alaska By united cooperative citi- zenship, working with the single purpose of making country and our Government know and understand people, we shall perfect the work @ or the pioneers wno nave nave nlazea the the foolish restrictions which have bound us and open the gates to enable millions of Americans to share land and blessings, and thus remove the austere conditionh due alone to our limited population.
 We shall emerge from the uncertainties but perplexities which have banged about in many respects the steamship emerges from the fog and the land shall look brighter
 Our beloved country is today in death struggle with the greatest military power of history. The very best and most patriotic way for us Alaskans to celebrate the anniversary of the purchase of the land all love well. is to do what each of to uphold the hands of President and our Govern ment and insure the perpetuity of this great Republic Alaskans falter and patriotism has burned as brightly in the Northland as in any part of America. Now there is an i'm mediate duty before us; to support the Sons of America who to be the firing line support them with ample funds. They giving their a the least do is to that they do not lack equipment and supplies Fifty years ago today Alaska became American Let show appreciation of the opportun ties this great act of statesmanship has offered us by purchasing Liberty Bonds. As each one has been blessed by good fortune let each realize that his good fortune is due to the strength of the Government which stands guard of his interests; and realize further that the arms and power of government must be upheld in order that all may enjoy the bles- sings of freedom and liberty and democracy. You should buy Liberty Bonds to the full tent of your ability not only because they the soundest investment in the world, but bel cause they the means of giving protection to all you hold dear on earth"
