Did Jack London write 'landlubber-
! ly'' sea fiction? " .&
Lincoln Colcord. young Seaborn
writer OF sea tales, says that he did.
Coicord is quite harsh on our Califor-
I MIA author; his sea stories are all
false--and rot besides" says the
younger man, who traces the decay
OF American shipping to the sea
writer's who adversely reported
the sailors lot. OF them he says in an

lowed. The thing to do, our writers
saw, was to play up the brutality
and injustice of sea life, trick
within the range OF any landlubber;
and this they have done with great
industry and unanimity. They have
not held themselves under obligations
to any other Of Diana's attributes to
HIS sincerity, for instance, or his &C.
curacy. They have felt that they
could safely disregard these il they
played up the sensationalism strongly

of the, sea but ] am speaking of
America. / do not at the moment
recall single American writer of
nautical fiction who has attempted to
draw pictures true to type, or who
has known what the type really was.
The inference which Mr.. Colcord
would convey, whether Intentionally or
not. is that London was landlubber.
A landlubber, according to the best
definition, is a stranger to the sea, an
awkward or inexperienced person on
board ship, a raw sailor. Now that

GERMANS PLAN SEVERE
REPRISALS ON BELGIANS

| LONDON. Eng, Sept. 25.-Details
concerning the treatment by the Ger
mans of British prisoners in German
East Africa are contained in a White
Paper just issued. The paper con-
tains mass of testimony recited by
prisoners and others, including num-
Der of women, to the effect that the
Germans deliberately adopted q policy
to lower the prestige OF the British in
the eyes OF the natives. forcing them
! to do all manner of degrading work
and subjecting them to terrible hard
ships without proper food, clothing,
and shelter.

ers, but they were forced to lodge in
native huts which were damp, and all
became i'll. The commandant, &C.
cording to the testimony. declared that
the prisoners had no rights, and that
anything was good enough for the
British.

London's Sea Tales Assailed

is Lincoln Colcord. Colcord first went
to sea inadventently-It might be said
he was shanghaied. He was born on
board ship off Cape Horn. Suisse.
quently he followed the sea from
choice, sailing on many voyages with
his father from Atlantic ports to
China.
But Jack London also went to sea,
liz a more drastic sense than Colcord.
He did not sail under the paternal
wing, but shipped before the mast on
sealing expeditions to the Behrfng
north. London had the same oppor-
tunity to see life aboard-no, not the
same opportunity, but better oppor-
tunity, to see the hard side Of the
sailors lot. -. ~. III. ~.
London was the toad beneath the
harrow of Kipling's quatrain. Colcord,
close to the captains cabin, was the
butterfly above the road preaching
contentment to the toad.
WAS A REPORTER OF LIFE
Now this is not to say that Londons
wild, bucko-mate yarns of the sea
are all facts; but it is to say that Lon.
don had the opportunity to know the
life of a sailor from an angle never
contemplated by the sea captains son.
Jack London was. always a reporter,
with a knack of seeing the brutal side
of every picture, and it might be that
he found only brutality at sea, or re-
membered only the brutality, or
thought that the brutality was the
best part for his purposes as repor-
ter of life. ...- j.. :@.>..:.> ......
Again, London might be all wrong,
but there are many transcripts of tes-
timony in sea cases heard before
various United States district courts
that go as far as London in picturing
the fact, If not the philosophy, of maui
teal hardship.
To classify London as a '1andlub-
Der" is nonsense. a.. III. -
Whether London from the forecastle
or Colcord from the captains cabin is
the more accurate reporter is a ques-
ton open to discussion, but 1t must be

CAPITAL GIVES
DATA ON new
RADIO station

From the committee on public in
formation in Washington, presided
over by George Creel, has come an
official communication telling of the
opening of the navy's new high power
radio station at Pearl Harbor on Sep
TENDER 90: The communication
states:
'The opening of the navy's new
high power radio station in the Ha'
waiian islands in announced. This
station is the most powerful radio
station in the world, and is designed
for direct communication with Wash.
ington and the Philippines. Elk
change of messages was carried out
last night between the radio station,
Sayyille, Long Island, and the Homo.
mately 5000 miles. This is the
worlds record for long distance ex-
change of communication by radio,
and marks distinct advance in radio
science The tests to date indicate
that communication between Wash
ington and the Philippines will easily
be accomplished with but one relay
through the Hawaiian station"
Then the communication quotes the
radio sent by Capt George r. Clark,
the Pearl Harbor naval commandant,
to Josephus Daniels, the secretary of
the navy, as follows:
ITO Secretary OF Navy, Washing
ton: have the honor to send you
the first through message to Wash.
ington, d. c., from Pearl Harbor, Ha.
wall, radio station, and report salts
factory progress in test of plant"
The reply of the navy secretary has
previously been published in the
Star-Bulletin. The test of the new
radio plant was made between $50
and o'clock in the morning.
The communication from Washing
ton gives the following details re.
garding the Pearl Harbor radio:
The Hawaiian station is one of a
chain of high power radio stations un-
der construction by the navy depart.
ment. The principal stations COM
pleted to date in this chain are Ar
lington, Darien Canal Zone, and
San Diego The remainder of the
stations, at Cavite (Philippines).
Guam and Tutuila, will be completed
during the next two months.
THE high power stations consist OF
three masts at each station to sup.
port the aerial, each mast being steel,
self-supporting. The apparatus is OF
the Poulsen arc type, which is stand
ard in stations of the high power
chain. ..
