DIPLOMATS NOW TO
FIGHT, WAR GAME
IN PEACE TALKS

Up to now the war has been fought
with soldiers and material weapons.
Seeing defeat in the field approach
ing, Germany is now trying the weap-
ons of her subtitle and crafty diplo-
macy, through the power Of shame
and lies.
Germany wants to talk. She wants
tn eallies to talk. She believes that
the allies to talk. She believes that
opinions on many points, and that in
free countries where a free press ex-
lists, it is very easy for divisions to
start. If she can get us all to talk
ing about peace terms at the council
table, she believes that we and our
allies will get to quarreling among
ourselves. Then Germany will be
able to save a good part of her stolen
goods out of the wreck of her origin
al plans.
Wherefore our government has done
well to refer armistice terms to the
military advisers. We must take
their advice. We have made great
and grievous sacrifices, and we do not
wish them to prove fruitless. We
must impose terms severe enough sc
that Germany will no longer be able
to make war. Her stolen territory
must be returned. Her usurping sol
diers must be brought home. The
damage she has done must be repair
ed by her. Some of the border fort
resses with which she menaces the
peace Of the world must be surren-
dered.
Some people seem to think that the
German people are better than theii
rulers, and that there will be no more
trouble if Germany becomes a democ-
racy Yet the German people ap-
plauded their rulers as long as they
were winning battles. They rejoiced
over their ruthless acts to neutra
countries. The rank and file of the
soldiers perpetrated the grossest bar
barities. 1t will not be safe to place
too much reliance on changes of gov
eminent that exist largely on pa
per.

eyes and black hair. These white
ones have light eyes and light skin
and hair. The old men of the tribe
have the same white features as the
young.
Bows and arrows are used by
them, they know nothing about to-
bacco and liquor, they make :heir
fires with sort Of flint, they dress
in skins, they spear their reindeer
and club their fish, they won't eAA
outsiders food and they speak a Ian
guage similar to that of the Eskimo.
They are hospitable, friendly and
square, too square, L think. If you
give them anything they are not sat-
isfied until they give you something
in return. 1 gave one woman an emp
ty baking powder tin and she imme-
diately brought me a big skin.
I'VE left gun with them. In
stead of using it to kill meat, the
mon seemed to think it was a play
thing for when left they were shoot
ing their bullets away at targets and
wildly into the air. When they ran
out Cf ammunition they probably
turned the gun around and got some
real use out of it as a club"
Bower said he thought there were
over $50 "bIond Eskimos" on Victoria
Land. 1t is not very probable that
they will ever be molested much by
the outside world for Victoria Land
is far off the usual run of traders
and whaIers go into the Arctic no
longer.
Bower has served on whaling YES
sells in many parts of the north, and
until his recent return to the States
had not been out of the Arctic for five
years. On Stefansson's last trip he
was steward on the schooner Polar
Bear which Stefansson used for a
time Stefansson took Bower into the
"blond Eskimo" country.

Seattle, Nov. 6-"Sure they're

very few men who have gone from
the outside into the far northern al
most tabled land of the "blond Els
kimos'' thus described them when he
was here recently.
And I don't think it was Stefans-
son who first found them" Bower as
serted. Vilhjalmar Stefansson, re-
turned Canadian Arctic explorer, who
has been credited with discovering
the strange tribe, agrees with Bower
that he did not find them first. He
does, however, claim that he made
the first study of the tribe and
brought back to the outside world
the first report of its existence
According to Stefansson and Bow
err a Captain Klinkerberg, master OF
the whaling schooner Olga in 1906
pushed northwest to Victoria Land
where he found the blond tribe. On
his return to the whaling base al
Herschel Island, an Arctic Ocean
point, he told of his findings. Ste
fansson, then at Herschel, heard
Klinkerberg's story and Immediately
went to Victoria where he made 8

Bower claimed the blond Eski

does not go that far but says they
have light gray, almost blue eyes an(
a few have light hair and eyebrows
Bower pointed out that the blond
natives have round full eyes whilt
the other Eskimos of the far nortl
have the slant eyes of Asiatics.

BECAME FATHERS IN OLD AGE
Amazing Paternity Records That Are
Undoubtedly Authentic, Published
by London Journal.

A father at eighty-fOur-7such is the
recent record of Mr.. Jackson, north
country farmer. says London Tit-Bits.
Men more patriarchal still have fig
ured in the ranks Of fathers. Such
robust veteran was Sir William Mich
olson of Glenbervy, n grand old Scots
man. who lived to nurse an infant
daughter after he had passed his
ninety-second birthday. Sir William
then had n daughter alive of his first
marriage, aged siXty-siX. He married
his last wife when he was eighty-twO,
and had six children.
Sir Stephen Fox's last child was era

few months of completing his hun
dredth year! Sir Stephen was born
in 1927, and had by his first wife Il
daughter who died in infancy about
1855. The child OF his old age sur
vived to the year 1923 and was thus
able TO say. 'T had sister who was
buried one hundred and seventy-three
years ago"
When William Prest Of RipOn was
laid TO rest in 1850, at the age of one
hundred and eight, he was followed to
his grave by his eldest son. a veteran
of lightweight, and by his youngest
boy, aged fifteen. who made his ap-
pearance when his father was within
sight of his ninety-third birthday. and
when his oldest brother was seventy
two.
Thomas Beatty of Drumcondra, near
Dublin, celebrated his one hundred
and second birthday on the very day
on which his youngest born entered
the world. and when his eldest son
had already seen seventy-three years.
Thomas Parr made his first trip to
the altar at eighty and became the
father of two children; and he was so
full of vigor that he made a second
matrimonial venture 80 years later.

Has Ii occurred TO anyone that the

Of "letters from the people" may be
of alien enemy origin? Why should

What attracted my attention was
finding the identical letter in my home
town paper (Morning Press, Santa

New York Globe. 1t was signed by
different initials but the wording and
arguments were the same. Dogs eat

of enemy aliens. The work was done
with system that suggested German
efficiency, and was no doubt paid for
by German money. That being so, the
elimination of watch dogs would be
of immense Importance, and the only
conclusion is that the whole prOpa-
ganda is the work of our enemies.

No Trouble in Scotland.
The argument that dogs cannot be

who would be lost without the help
and companionship of his dogs.
Be on Watch for Enemies.
Scotland is great sheep-growing
country, yet ii loves the dog; gives
him his due i'm life and reveres him
in death. AT the castle in Edinburgh
there Is little plot of ground where
the dogs of the Scottish soldiers are

who refused TO leave the church-yard
where his master was buried and died
upon his grave.
We want more dogs in America-not
fewer. They would be of great serv-
ice guarding ammunition plants; in
helping soldiers on guard mt aqueducts
and bridges in ferreting out suspicious
characters, the forest rangers all over
the West would find them invaluable
in densely wooded country. Farmers.
shepherds, cattlemen and ranchers
need them; and the sneaking incen-
diaries, prisoners and devastators
would find their work much harder If
there were more watchdogs on guard.
We must not part with our dogs.
