WHAT PATTERSON WOULD DO

Like q bolt cut of the blue flashed the war signal from the very heart of Europe. Across the Atlantic its reverberations rolled 10 ind us divided, neutral and unprepared Fer fifteen years a body of German reserv- lsss disguised as citizens have been march ing and counter marching. They grew at inngth bold enough to rally to the support of pan-Gcrman scheme of conquest and a pro-Germ9n propaganda Of "kultur," ba5- ing its ettrontery on the German-Anerican vote, which began its agitation by threaten ing us with civil war if we dared to go to war with Germany There followed the as saesin sea monsters and the airSh,p cam paign of murder.
 All the while we looked on with either simpering idiocy or dazed apathy. Serbia It was no affair of ours. Belgium? Why should we worry? Foodstuffs soaring-war stuffs roaring everybody making money the mercenary, the poor of heart, the mean of spirit, the bleak and barren of soul could still plead the hypocrisy of uplift and chortle, q did not raise my boy to be a soldier" Even the Lustania did not awaken us to a sense of danger and arouse us from the stupefaction of ignorant and ignobe selfcomplacency
 First of all, on pended knee we should pray God to forgive us. Then erect as men, Christian men, soldierly men, to the flag and the fray-wherever they lead us over the ocean through France to Elan ders-across the Low Countries to koln Bonn and Coblenz-tumbling the fortress of Ehrenbreitstein into the Rhine as we pass and damming the mouth of the Moselle with the debris of the ruin we make of it then on, on to Berlin, the Black Horse cavalry sweeping the Wilhelmstrasse like lava down the mountainside, the junker anc the saber rattler flying before us, the tunes being Dixie" and Yankee Doodle" the cry being ''Hail the French Republic Ha the Republic of Russa-Welco the Com monwealth of the Vaterland-no peace with the kaiser-no barley with autocracy, abso lutism and the divine right of kings-to he, with the Hapsburgs and the Hohenzollerns.

1 HAVE A RENDEZVOUS WITH
 DEATH

The following prophetic poem, published shortly prior to the death of it's author, Allan Seeger, has been widely published and commented on. It has just been learned that the young American soldier, who was a member of the Lafayette corps of the French Foreign Legion, put an end to hls sufferings by shooting himself through the temple. He was wounded in the breast, abdomen and knees by German shell on April 1 or 5, and realized that his death would be matter of but few hours: have rendezvous with Death At some disputed barricade,
 When Spring comes round with rustllng
 shade
 And apple blossoms fill the air 1 have rendezvous with Death When Spring brings back blue days and
 fair.
 It may be he shall take my hand And lead me into this dark land And close my eyes and quench my breath It may be I shall pass him, still 1 have a rendezvous with Death On some scared slope of battered hill, When Spring comes round again this year And the first meadow flowers appear. God knows twere better to be deep Pil!owed in silk and scented down, Where love throbs out in blissful sleep, Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath, Where hushed awakenings are dear, But, I've a rendezvous with Death At midnight in some flaming town, When Spring trips north aga.n this year And l to my pledged word ain tr.c. l shall not fail that rendezvous

DISCREDTTED GOVERNOR
 ATTACKS JENNINGS DECISION

Following up its fight on Governor Strong the Juneau Empire recites the fol lowing which is a rather severe indictment for man representing the government in a responsible position, and seeking reap pointment to that position:
 Probably for the first time in the history of Alaska we have the spectacle of the gov ernor of the territory attempting to dis credit the decisions of a United States dis trict court Governor J. r. A. Strong, ac cording to the Anchorage Labor News, wrote a letter to Dr. F. M Boyle, former member of the territorial house of represent ative5 in which be, commenting upon the decision of Judge Jennings in the delegateship con test said:
 "'The action of the court was, in my opinion, so partisan that comment on my part would be superhuous.'
 "That portion of the letter of Governor Strong to Dr. Boyle that is printed by the Anchorage labor paper follows
 "As for the delegate contest to which you refer, while appreciating your kind words l did only that which l believed was a duty incumbent upon me; that is duty l owed my office and the people of the territory. In the absence of any fraud be- minded man could find that Mir Sulzer had been elected when the returns plainly showed the contrary, and I acted accord ingly. The injection of partisan politics into this matter is most regrettable, but I have nothing to regret and am quite willing to accept all responsibility for my action. I know that the people of Alaska by their vote reelected Judge Wickersham. and 1 know too much about Alaska and Alaskan conditions to deprive the voters of remote precincts of their franchise on mere technicalltes or irregularities. You no doubt have been advised that there were technical violations of the election law and irregularities noted in nearly every precinct and if the boards had taken cognizance of all technicalities and irregularities 1 believe that Judge Wickersham would have been elected by thousand majority, The ac- ton of the court was, in my opinion, so partisan that comment on my part would be superlluous I believe that the matter vii be settled in the right place. namely, the house of representatives,
 "'The mere technicalites' referred to by Governor Strong which caused Judge Jen- nings to exclude the returns from certain precincts were errors such as would have completely destroyed the Australian ballot in Alaska if they had been disregarded. They were discussed at length by Judge Jennings in the elaborate opinion rendered by him. In discussing them before thc court had finally ruled on the matter Gov eGncr Strong said that thc law should be SO that 1t would state in rlain l2ngu&@' that such returns as thoae received tr"n the precincts in question couli not hS counted; otherwise he admitted, there worll be 10 Use for an Australian ballot lw ia Alaska Otherwise he admitted that the law should be as Judge Jennings he!i that it was

LAFOLLETTE'S UNTRUTHFUL ASSERTIONS
