some 6eod Advice,

We have seen nothing more to the
point than the following clipping
from South Dakota on Duty, /"
the little paper issued by the State
Council Of Defence. It may we'll
be pondered by not only our Ger
man-American friends but also by
other citizens as giving the view
point Of those citizens Of German
blood who have been slow to come
to . full realization Of the differ
ent ideals for which Germany and
America are fighting. The advice
is particularly good for all in this
time when mems feelings are on
the strain:
II you know Of q German-Amer.
lean ia South Dakota whose loyalty
to this country Is in question, don't
abuse him, but endaayor to see that
he reads the sentiments expressed
below by Herman Hagedorn. the
novelist, American born Of Ger
man parentage, whose own broth.
ers are to day fighting in the Ger
man army. II the German Amer
ican will read this and still be un-
convinced, that he does not belong
in the United States. This is the
way Mr.. Hagedorn puts it up to
him:
II appeal to you because am one
to you. have been torn - you have
been torn. l love German men and
women, and German forests and
hills, and songs as you love them;
I, too have . father in Germany; l,
too had . German mother /. too,
have brothers fighting in Germanys
armies. For q time my reason as
we'll - my heart was with Ger
many's cause, and even after my
reason would no longer let me hope
for Germany's triumph, for . time
my heart was still rebelliously thrill
cd 1T the news Of q Ge rman victory
So. perhaps. / have to right speak.
/ have stood on Germany's side,
have walked in the valley Of the
shadow Of neutrality. have stood
and l now staEd irrevocably with the
cause Of the Allies, which, thank
God, as now the cause Of America. |
And ! say unto you most solemly,
the time has come for us when all |
who are of German origin shou d |
stand forth and individually and
collectively. publicly declare our.
selves:
l, an Amerian citizen Of Germanl
blood. believe in Ameri =, nyI
country, and the principles q liberty
equality and democracy or which
she stands. These fore, and inevit-
ably, / am against Germany. l wish
to see my country victorious and
Germany defeated. To the fulfill
ment Of this wish pledge my
hands, my heart and my spirit.
In the taking and the keeping
Of that oath or its equivalent, lies
the hope, lies the only hope, Of the
happiness of the present and future
usefulness Of Americans of Ger
man origin"

The Germans were justified in
sinking the Lusitania.
That Edith Cavile was q spy, and
as q spy man or woman could look
for no sympathy.
That Italy was oil in. that France
was on her last legs. France has
no supplies. Italy is in same boat.
That Germany's game was to get
million American troops in France
and then sink food ships. This
would be the program, as France
did not have enough food to feed
her own soldiers.
That the u. S. troops were not
well thought Of in France They
were poorly disciplined and poorly
equipped. Germany's success de-
pends upon discipline.
That from reports certain French
soldiers shot down their officers.

never anything like that in the Ger.

That Secretary of War Baker did
not know how to run his own bus

That previous to the time the
United States entered the war a
bunch of politicians told the French
people what the United States would
do; that they would send lot of

United States hasn't done anything.
All the United States could do was
to talk and do nothing.
That Gen. Wiser isn't the whole

That the Germans look upon the

THE DOOM OF THE U.BOAT

The doom of the U-boat, according to all reports from the allied war capi- tals, has been sounded. Certainly, the kaiser's ground for boosting on the score of submarine successes Is de- cidedly shadowy. There has been a downward curve in losses from sub marines for several months and new devices are being perfected which pro mise to minimize the menace still fur ther.
 The announcement of the vice. chairman of the naval consulting board that means have been found whereby transports-and other ves- sels-are rendered unsuitable by U- boats is deeply interesting. It is the first statement yet made by anybody in authority that an unsuitable boat is more than a dream. Yet we are as- sured that a transport so equipped will still float though hole thirty or forty feet in diameter be blown in her side-that such e hole would waterlog but one-tenth of the honey combed airtight cells" ;,
 Only a few days prior to this an nouncement the secretary of the navy
Valdez daily prospector., 1918-03-08

said that a new type of submarine enemy, which is neither destroyer or submarine but which resembles both is being built, and that within short time these craft will be manufactur- ed at the rate of one day.
 Meanwhile American and British destroyers are securing the seas for the submarine enemy-and with sue cess. The American depth bomb has accounted for a number of the kai- ser's "stiletos of the seas" British and French patrol boats, seaplanes and "blimps'' or airships. also are tracking down the foe. The allied gov ernments, particularly the United States and England, are turning out new ships in large numbers; already the rate of construction is practical ly the same as the destruction. In oth- CT words, the full resources of the allies are concentrated on the U-boat, while the rate of output of new sub marines in Germany must be decreas- ing.
 The prediction of Admiral Jellicoe, formerly head of the British fleet and later chief of the admiralty, that the submarine menace would be remov- ed by August, evidently is based on a general survey of all known factors in the situation. In any case, the dark side of the picture is facing Wilhelm strasse.

TRAGIC LACK OF SYSTEM

The loss of the transport Tuscania has developed the unfortunate fact that the war department has worked out no efficient system of identifying the soldiers sent to. France. The list of soldiers on the ship went down with the vessel and the tags on the bodies of the unfortunate victims of the disaster failed to identify them.
 Thus the only means of identifying the men was by a process of elimina- tion-that is, by checking off the names of the survivors and comparing them with list made up containing the names of the troops sent on board the steamship. A supplementary sys- tenn was worked out by taking the finger prints of the unrecognized sol diers whose bodies were recovered on the Irish coast. By these means the war department hopes. by sheer good luck, to be able to identify all the vic tims of the enemy's submarine.
 It may be assumed that most of the Americans on board were insured with the government. But the ques- tion is whether, in case some of the bodies are not identified, their depend ents will be able to collect on their policies. It will be impossible to prove that their lives were actually sacri- ficed, and if the government is will ing to pay the insurance without knowing whether it should be paid, the possibility of wholesale fraud arises.
 Even conceding that the task of the war department in raising big army on short notice has been stupendous and that errors of omission and com mission cannot be avoided, it is little short of astounding that such tragic evidence of lack of system has been thrust upon the country.

THE KETCHIKAN MINER takes fall out of workingmen for striking for higher wages and shorter hours, and calls them traitors and other misapplied epithets. Why not call the men traitors to the country who raise the price of rent and foods so high the workingman Is forced to strike to get enough to live on? Rents in Seattle have reached an exhorbitant figure. Foodstuffs have mounted sky high. The man who is trying to live on four or five dollars a day has no protec- tion. The dealer can raise his price and get it without question. The workingman has no other recourse but to strike when his demands are refused. The Prospector as we'll as ev- cry other paper in Alaska has raised its prices. Are we traitors to the coun- try for so doing? Why then. should we call a man a traitor who adopts the only means at his command to secure higher price for his commodity? AS fast as the price of necessities rise the price of labor must also rise, if the laboring man is to escape bankruptcy. The best way to avoid strikes would be to place a reasonable profit on both necessities and labor and compell all parties to adhere to the scale estab- lished. And this is what the govern ment will yet be compelled to do to prevent the profiteers plunging the country into revolution. While we believe that no good has ever been accomplished by strike, when the waste of time and money is consider ed, yet it serves to call the attention of the nation to the underdog, and is only a means to the end. Labor should be extremely careful not to embarrass the government by It's ac- tions in these parlous times, but the profiteers also should be properly tagged and numbered and not allow labor to receive all the blame.

ONE of the best arguments for statehood yet advanced is the refus- al of Senator Key Pittman to endorse the nomination of Thomas R. Riggs for governor because he thought some other man should have the job. So long as Alaska is jockeyed out of her officials and used as a moneymaker for profiteers living in the States, just SO long will her development be held back. Alaska for the politicians and to hell with her inhabitants has been the rule at Washington for the past few years.

DIABOLICAL TRAPS LAID
 TO KILL FRENCH TROOPS

|
 WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES: The diabolical ingenuity of the Ger mans met Its match in the cleverness of the French after the German re- treat from the Chemin des Danes, as after the retreat of last March from the Noyul salient. A hundred devices If great cunning were left behind in the trenches and shelters. They were i intct dcd to destroy imprudent pursu- c:s, ut. as q matter of fact, not one 1 French soldier lost his life in these German traps.
 In some cases branches were placed across doorways and attached to the branches were strings. If any of the branches were pushed aside they set off mines.
 A book was left lying on table in such a way that if 1t were lifted, a charge would be exploded by Eneans of an electric wire hidden along the table leg.
 Percussion instruments were hid den in old heaps of coal.
 Explosives were hidden in stove pipes, so when the fire was lighted everything would blow up.
 A sack was left in the entrance to a dugout in such a way that when 1t was removed a dozen grenades hid den near by would be set of by wire.
 A nail was left projecting from a step, so that when pressed 1t would set off a charge underneath.
 Telephone wires seeming to lead in- to a gallery, led in reality to mine, and would have exploded 1t if they had been touched.
 A shovel was stuck between the logs of shelter in such way that if removed, it exploded a charge by means of a string.
 Doors, branches, table drawers, tools, pieces of metal, even "souven- frs" and artificial flowers were ar- ranged to set off grenades or charges of explosives If touched.
 In the trenches hand grenades were attached to wires and would explode if the wires were pulled. Stat walks were placed over grenades so these would explode if the slats were walk ed on. Contact grenades were hidden under layer of earth or among branches.
 Shells Buried in Roads
 Under the roads mines were placed which would explode when horse trod on a certain spot. In the same way shells were buried upright be- meath the road, the fuse set, so that the pressure of horse or wagon from above would set them off.
 Grenades which would explode at a touch were hidden in the straw of stables or under bricks or tiles.
 How did the French avoid them? Simply by the exercise of great wari- ness. Soldiers were forbidden to en- ter shelters. dugouts. houses or even certain trenches until after they had been thoroughly examined by special ists. The traps were discovered one by one, the strings or wires cut, the mines, charges, shells or grenades re- moved. The finest handiwork will leave some trace, and by this trace, however faint, the French succeeded in recognizing the hand of the Ger man and in frustrating it.-New York World.
