Japan's Moves in China

We have noted with establishment that the
Japanese government is attempting to set up
over China a protectorate, and with grave
concern have read the report that recently
it reprimanded our State Department for
communicating directly with the govern
ment of China upon a matter purely of Chi
nese concern. We have not forgotten that
for many years the United States has been
Chna's closest friend and most unselhsh ad-
wiser; that upon many occasions it has been
our duty to intervene on behalf of the pres
ervation of the administrative entity Of
China, and that the preservation of the
"open door, in China-whereby every ma
ton is entitled to share the freedom of trade
enjoyed by any-is cardinal point in Amer
lean foreign policy These gains of the
years in national comradeshp and CONNER
cial freedom Americans assuredly will refuse
to surrender, and may be counted upon to
defend the moment it is clear. that they are
threatened.
OF the policy Of the "open door" in China
to which Great Britain freely and other
nations grudgingly assented-Johnson in
his american Foreign Relations" says:
No matter what sphere Of influence" any power
claimed it not to interfere with treaty port
or vested interest of other powers therein; the Chi
nese tariff was to continue in force and TO be ad-
ministered by Chinese officials; and there TO
be no discrimination against any nation or in
favor Of any nation in port dues railroad rates

Now that the japanese mission is here
and the attention of the public will for
few weeks be focused upon trans-Pacihc
affairs, a frank discussion Of some of the
questions that lie at the root of our rela-
tions with Japan would seem to be in order.
1t goes without saying that we welcome
with especial pleasure the distinguished rep
resentatives of the island empire which
Joined the community of nations upon our
invitation and has since become one OF its
great and useful members.
We cannot forget that of the romances OF
American history none is quite so replete
with enchanting imagery as that which deals
with the opening of Japan. The meeting on
the shores of Uraga Bay of Commodore
Perry, his staff and bluejackets, with the
high dignitaries of the court OF the En-
peror of this extraordinary and accomplished
people, sxty-four years ago the l4th OF July
last, is like a scene from the fairy books. II
was nothing less than the ceremonial visit
of representatives of the nineteenth century
made to those of the seventeenth, for the
purpose of inviting the latter to step light
ly over the intervening epochs and enter the
present, clad in the full panoply of the
worlds most picturesque mediavalism.
Between Japan and the United States there
Is indeed sentimental tile WnoIly unique
among nations, one not to be touched I'M
gently by the thoughtful publicist save upon
the most substantial grounds of public need.
This the writer fully perceives; but he sees
also that events in the East are taking on a
sinister aspect for the United States and the
Anglo-Saxon peoples of the Pacific, and ne
believes that unless correctives are prompt
ly applied we soon shall find ourselves shorn
Of rights and safeguards in the Pacific basin
to obtain which American blood and treasure
and enterprise have been lavishly spent.
Therefore, and so that by frank speaking
the issue shall be met and disposed Of be-
fore it shall have crystallzed into a differ
ence irreconcilable save by armed conflict,
the writer, with great reluctance, he con-
fesses, has decided to deal with IT,
In its Eastern policy the japanese govern
ment Is entering upon an expedition In d.
plomacy which, il persisted in, cannot fail
to bring it into collision with the United
States. Japan, like all other nations, must
know that Americas consciousness Of its
position and rights in the world at large is
certain after the war to be not less, but
more keenly sensitive than ever it has been
in the past.

 The seeds are a little later than usual in reaching Fairbanks this year. They have always been in great de mand for the reason that the depart ment never sends out any but the best seeds.
 The first to come will be the first served in tha matter of the distribu- ion of the seeds this afternoon. No seeds will be saved for anybody. Those who want them will have to be there

JUNEAU, Apr. Edward Krause, the convicted murderer who was to have been hung here next month, and who escaped from the local fed eral jail here last night, has as com pletely disappeared from sight as if he had been swallowed up in the ground Efforts of the marshal's force to locate anyone who saw him after he made his getaway have so far been entirely fruitless. Absolute ly nothing has been seen or heard of him since his escape. District At torney Smither is directing a party of four men on land and another of seven on the Gastineau Channel.
 The only clue that has been so far unearthed leaked out here this morn ing. It seems that four days ago . well known rancher from near Peters burg, who is known to be a close friend of Krause, loaded a large sized launch with supplies and brought them to Juneau The launch was seen anchored near the tide flats

Tt reminds me of early days"

It reminds me of early days"
 The foregoing statement was made last night by George Hutchinson, cashier of the First National bank, who has just returned from visit to the Tolovana country. He was speaking in reference to Livengood creek, the right limit of which, he says, is lined with dumps. serving as a reminder to the average oldtimer of the early days of Fairbanks, now gone forever, except insofar as they return in the shape of camp like the Tolovana
 Mir Hutchinson estimates that the output of the Tolovana country dur ing the coming mining season will be between a million and a million and quarter. There will be be- tween twenty-five and thirty outfits operating there during the entire summer, and all are now working in good money, with good prospects that 1t will hold out
 Amy creek is the scene of the newest excitement, according to MT. Hutchinson Several outfits are work ing there, and all have good pros poets, including Al and Fred Pauli, who have found good prospects on their ground. Whether or not Amy contains a continuous paystreak, how ever, has not been ascertained, al though all indications point to the fact that it does.
 If Amy creek shows up as well as is now expected the output of the Tolovana country in general may be materially increased, according to MT. Hutchinson. However, the dumps now out on Livengood and the pay found elsewhere on that stream jus tify the prediction that the Tolovana output during the summer will be at least a million dollars.

 It would be mere suicide for America ly proceed ill its military organization along the old volunteer system. The whole plan has been tried out, not only by European nations, but by America in former times, and has proven not merely inefficient but rotten from the very core.

lNDICT LEADERS
 OF PAPER TRUST
lAssociated Pressl

NEW YORK, Apr. 12.-The federal grand jury today returned indictments against one banker and six paper manufacturers, charging them with using their power in restraint Of trade in violatio of the sherman antitrust law These men are charg- ed with controlling fifty-five per cent of the American news print paper production and using this leverage to boost prices unjustly.
 The indictments are the direct re- suit of an investigation carried out under the direction of the depart ment of the interior. which was caus- ed by the recent extraordinary ad' vances of all grades of news print paper. Five of the six manufacture CTS indicted constitute the executive committee of the American News Print Paper Manufacturing Associa- ton, which fact may lead to prose cution of the association.

NO COMPROMISE

It is to be hoped that President Wilson's attitude regarding the method of raising the American army along the lines recommended by the war department and the general staff will be effective in doing away with con gressional opposition Some of the congress- men, with the usual lack of foresight and i'll a mistaken attempt to curry favor with their constituents, seem to want to select a method that will be neither volunteer system nor yet real conscription, to borrow an apt phrase, neither fish nor fowl"
 The President has gone into the matter thoroughly, and with his characteristic di- rectness in dealing with all matters has come out squarely for selective conscription. He has announced that no compromise will be acceptable to him Nor is he reticent regard

DEFENDANT ON STAND IN HIS
 OWN DEFENSE

Testifying In his own behalf. Louis Goyette, the defendant in the Skoo- gey Gulch shooting case, was on the witness stand in district court all day yesterday His testimony related chiefly to the events leading up to the shooting, although he also told his side of the story of the shooting itself. It is probable that he will go on the stand this morning for fur ther examination by his attorney and for cross examination on the part of the attorneys for the government
 On the stand yesterday Goyette told of arriving back at his place of residence at the Newsboy mine after being in Fairbanks for the Fourth of July celebration. He said that the trouble between he and his started while they were in town, in company with Leone Loutre and Elza Peterson. After they arrived back on the creek the trouble started again, culmnating in the shooting.
 Goyette said that he intended go- Goyette and the two women were, to get a tent he had pitched there. He carried his 22 calibre rifle He was nearly to the gulch, he said, when he saw Creighton and Martin Smith, further stating that Creigh- ton immediately shouted to the two women, who were In the house, to get the gun. Then. he said, the door of the house opened and the two women came out, one of them with a gun which he said was a shotgun. She pointed it at him and attempted to shoot, according to his testimony, but was unable for some reason to make the gun work.
 It was then that Goyette commenc- ed shooting, according to his test- mony Prior to that time, however, he had shouted to the woman to lay down the gun When he began to shoot the woman who had the gun dropped it and the other picked it up and also attempted to shoot him. He kept shooting in their direction, he said, and both went into the house.
 In the meantime Creighton was running toward the house, according to Goyette's statement, while Coy cite himself was backing away. Creighton got into the house and came out again with the gun in his hands, according to Goyette, who stated that he then began to shoot directly at Creighton. It was then, he supposed, that he hit the com blaming witness.
 Goyette's last statement on the witness stand last night was that he had not fired single shot at Martin Smith.

yesterday. but this morning it had disappeared
 An inquiry developed that two men were seen going north from d point near the federal jail last night. and the federal officials think that one of them was the escaping murderer. and that he used this launch to make his getaway
 An investigation of the beach op- posite where the launch was tied up reveals the fact that three men have recently crossed there. evident ly going 10 the launch. one Of the men had shoepaCs on, and this is thought to have been Krause. as he had on pacs and not heavy shoes, as was stated at first A swift launch has been dispatched to the ranCher's place from which the launch came, and a thorough search will be made there.
 The excitement created by the es- cape has not abated since last night Lots of rumors are afloat Several times the report has been started that he has been seen in various To- calities, but upon being investigated each runor proved to have no foun- dation. The situation may be sum med up as "rumors galore, but no Krause"

 According to the legend of the Death Troop" no prisoners will be taken in battle, but all enemy sol diers captured are executed immedi- ately. This cavalry led the fight against Villa soldiers at Mapula, south of the state capital, and reports re- ceived later from that battle said no prisoners were taken there and many were bayoneted to save ammu- hilton. When General Francisco Mur- gia marched into Chihuahua City af- ter Villa evacuated, the battle flag of the Death Troop" was carried at the head of the column.
 During the bath riots" at the in- ternational bridge connecting Juarez and Ell Paso, which were held as protest against the American quar- antine, the death flag was seen by many Americans for the first time when the Death Troop" dashed to the bridge approach to quell the rioting.
