Gen. KUHN AN OFFICER
OF WIDE EXPERIENCE
Specially Qualified by Service ct
Home and Abroad for Post Of
Division Commander.

The 18th Division Of the National
Army Is particularly fortunate in hav-
ing as its commander Maj. Gen. Joseph
e. Kuhn. man who has had wide ex-
perience in military and engineering
service. both at home and abroad.
Gen. Kuhn is widely known through
out the east, particularly where he
gave special attention to deep water
ways. In 1919 he was army engineer
in charge Of the dredging of the Dela-
ware river. He remained at his post
in this capacity for about year. when
he was later made military attache at
the American embassy In Berlin. Upon
his return from Germany he became
president of the War College. He g q
native Of the state of Kansas.
Former Ambassador Gerard paid .
high tribute to Gen. Kuhn, saying he
could not praise too highly his patience
and tact shown by him as an officer in
his dealings with the Germans. He
recalled that, although accused in the
German newspapers OF being SPY and
otherwise attacked, Gen. (then col0neD
Kuhn kept his temper and took OBJ
servations for the benefit Of his own
country. Gen. Kuhn also was an OBJ
server tn the Russo-Japanese war, and
Mr.. Gerard states that these expert
ences probably make him the greatest
American expert in modern war.
Associated with him is Lieut.. Col.
Tenney Ross, who has quickly gained
the confidence and good will of the
men In the new command.

SELECTED MEN PUT ON
A GOOD ENTERTAINMENT

One night last week a crowd Of ex-
pectant men gathered at Esq Y. NJ.

ing been informed that an entertain
ment was scheduled for that night.
However. only the usual impromptu
sing was on. and finally young fell
low from the Michigan Ambulance
Corps stepped up to one of the "Y'
secretaries.
Anything doing tonight-anything
speeial?" he inquired.
What would you like?" the secretary
questioned.
"Something-you see. the fellows
thought 1t was the regular entertain
ment night. and they're looking for
something"
All right" said the secretary, as he
climbed on the platform and issued q
call for volunteers to make up big
show" There was no hesitancy.
Wickersol and Cohen opened in "one''
with solo apiece. and then Thompson,
formerly with Raymond Hitchcock Of
theatrical fame, made q place for him
self with the boys by impersonating
The Income Tax" OF course. the boys
are not bothered by either. but Thomp-
son made a hit just the same.
Kennedy from Kensington endeared
himself to the fast increasing crowd
with several splendid solos.
Down through the crowd. with a
derby well down over his head, came a
familiar type-the Hebrew vaudeville
c0median--artistically portrayed BY
William Roth. Baltimore boy. now
with the s04th Field Battery, Signal
Corps. For half an hour he kept the
boys In a continuous uproar WITH his
representations. and he was followed by

RABlD PARTISANSHIP.

Wickersham newspapers throug- out the territory have universal ly lauded Governor Strong and Sur ,eyoi General Davidson for the moral leanings and voting to give 8 certifi- cate of election to James Wickersham Tor delegate to congress. Coming from W1ckersham papers this sounds very fine and would appear to indi- cate that Strong and Davidson were democrats who had placed a strong sense of duty and fair play above party. Nothing however is above from the facts in the case. These men are not and never have been democrats in the true sense of the word. In his newspaper days Mir. Strong roundly roasted Delegate Wickersham, but that proves no more than in the case of Charles Heron, who as republican committeeman was bitterly opposed to Wick, but as editor of the Anchorage Times was his strongest supporter. Whatever party affiliations Governor Strong may have had when he was in the newspapers business, he has not been democrat since appointed gover- nor. Every important office within his gift has been given to renub1iconc and his action as a member of the territorial canvassing board indicate that he Is a Wickersham republican No explanation he or Davidson can make of their action can set aside the belief in the mind of any unpre- judiced observer that not duty, not fair play. but a strong partisanship for Wickersham actuated them in casting their votes for Wickersham for delegate.
 The statement made by Strong and Davidson that mere technicalities should not be sufficient cause for throwing out the vote in certain pre- cincts sounds well but the sentiment Is of too recent birth to carry much weight. These same technicali.ies were sufficient to cause the board to throw out numerous votes two years ago, but they were not Wickersham votes then. Strong and Davidson
The Nome daily nugget., 1917-05-07

claim the board has no judicial pow CTS. Admitting this, it is still true that there are two laws governing the election of a delegate in Alaska, one of which must prevail. Violation of these laws must be taken cognizance of by the board and legal votes cast out. This is the sole reason or a canvassing board, else the clerks ot the courts, to whom duplicate returns are sent, could as well tabulate and announ C the totals.
 Taking either of these election laws as a basis for fixing tie legality oi the votes cast. Sulzer had a plural ity of the legal vote. The insistence of Strong and Davidson tha. the Bris- tel bay precincts be counted despite the manifest illegality of the vote there, and the sob stuff about depriv- ing the citizens of these precincts of the franchise is pure bunk. Although there have been six delegate elections held in the territory the vote from Bristol bay has never before been counted. This, in itself, is no argu- ment why they should not be legal, but the inhabitants of that district appear to have suffered no specail in- convenience in the past because of this, and the throwing out of the ille- gal votes this time would not work any particular hardship upon them, and might have the salutary effect of causing them to pay more attention to election laws in the future.
 Votes that were illegal two years ago, for the same reason are illegal now. The authority exercised by this canvassing board in throwing out votes two years ago is still vested in the board. The only difference Is that two years ago Wickersham had an overwhelming plurality, and the hundreds of votes that were thrown out made no difference on the out come; and at this election he is de- feated if the legal vote only is count ed.
 What reason then except rank par tianship prevents Strang and David son from exercising the powers they assumed two years ago? There is none. What except partisanship caused them to disregard the opinion of the attorney general after they had requested it? To credit Strong and Davidson with a high sense of duty and fair play after rejecting the opinion of the attorney general is to charge that gentleman with permit ting his judicial action to be influenc- ed by partisanship, an accusation which will be resented by the large majority of Alaskans who elected him to the position he holds, and who have implicit confidence in the man.-Val- dez Miner.

plot but considered it justified, it is good sportshlanship to now consid CT the case of Germany against Ger ard.
 In the last issue of Vierecck's week. l ly, formerly the American Weekly, and before that the Fatherland, the most pro- German paper in America, 1 this case is set forth in most pro- l nounced terms, to-wit:
 Count Reventlow lays the betrayal of. Sir Roger Easement and the over- throw of the Irish revolt at the door | of the American embassy at Berlin, declaring the uncontrolled letter and cable service of the embassy to Wash ington. also being an uncontrolled method of communication to France and England; in other words he charges the American ambassador with being spy for England. To elinch the charge he says: American Ambassador Gerard and his personnel delivered the honorable Irishman to the hangsman."
 It is charged by Colonel Emerson, American war correspondent that: First-Certain blank passports dis appeared from the American en- bassy in Berlin, early in the war and RtaD nm l0slT lnfa in, ha ha,. s,f English spies. Second-That the American ambassador tried to per- suade Emerson to send secret infor. nation to the embassy from the front m a prearranged code ThirdAThat when he, Emerson, refused, Gerard tried to deprive him of his pass port by trlckery, and finally accused Emerson, a veteran of the Spanish American war, with not being an American citizen.
 It is also charged that Gerard de- liberately turned over to the French. one Oscar ifue, an American of Ger man parentage, who was attached n the American e.r.iassy in Berlin, in l minor capacity for engaging in con- versation w:th the German officer in charge of the tml assadorial ,tr ,.L, thereby putting l'fug in danger of ieath of a slight indiscretion.
 It Is surtter q srged that early in the war Gerard wrote a private letter to New York. grossly insulting the German government, which the reel pients showed and used to strengthed the anti i-German feeling in metropol- itan circles.
 This apparently completes the case.
 So far as known the ambassador, formerly a New York city politician, yell acquainted with Tammany hall and hts environs. he stood pat and vouchsafefd no reply.
 Should all these charges be true ,he imperial. German government overlooked a card, when it did not hand Mir. Gerard his passports some time back. It will be remembered that the United States did not hesi- tate to hand passports to Captain Boy Ed and Captain von Papen, for encouraging bomb conspiracies, and
