Mott Went at It Right.

NofOOklNn E1gle.D
 The criticisms leVeled at the work of the Young Men Christian associa- tion in the war field abroad have in our Judgment had little effect on sane and we'll balan ced minds. but many minds are not sane and are not well balanced. Chief Executive John R Mott, therefore. purSues the wjsest policy in answering such criticisms in detail. in pleading for the production of any evidence In anyones posses sion of improper or wastefu1 methods and in pledging a full and compre- hensive investigation by George W. Perkins, Mortimer l.. Schiff and F. $. Brockman, who have gone abroad for the purpose Mr. Mott says;
 We want to know all our short conings both of omission and com mission, so that as far as possible they may b. corrected. IT we aren't delivering the goods after the way the people of this country have supported us then we ought 10 be made to do so. and that cal be done. If l have been inefficient I ought to be removed. If anybody else has, he or she ought to be removed.
 This is the only wise attitude. the only Christian attitude. the only man ly attitude to take.

HOHENZOLLERN HAS
 PRAISE FOR YANKEES
Prince Carl Calls Them the Best Disciplined Troops He Has
 EVCr Seen.

With the American Army of Occu- patton. Jan. l Associated Press. )--- In a talk recently with an American army officer, Prince Carl of Hohenzol- Tern. lieutenant general and com mander of the Thirty eighth Land wehr Brigade, who now is living in the area occupied by the Americans, said that in all his 32 years experi- ence in the army he never had seen anywhere soldiers Of better discipline or who behaved better than the Am mericans.
 The prince. who is 8 m ember of the non-reigning house of the Hohenzol- Tern family, appeared not to realize the indignation created in the United States through the sinking of the Lusitania and expressed surprise when he was told of reports that celebra- tions were held in Germany and medals awarded 10 the submarine crew. The prince said that personally he disapproved of submar urine warfare and bombing by means of sirpIane. He asserted that Germany should not have started her submarine warfare without being absolutely certain it would succeed.
 Prince Carl said be regretted that the German propaganda in the United States had been carried on in such a clumsy manner. Germany, he de- clared, should have started her prop aganda on a larger scale and spent millions of marks instead of thou sands. The greatest fault with Ger many's diplomacy, he added, was the persistent disregard of the importance of national psychology and failure to appreciate the points of view of other nations.
 The prince WAS discharged from the German army at Hanover a few days ago and now is living at his castle at Naumedy, on the Rhine. near Ander- mach. He said his first intin ation of Germany's military collapse was when the hbgh command sent an order to him on the western front 10 man a telephone with an officer of the per sonneI. The only troops in the in terior of Germany when the recent trouble started. he added, were re- placement battalions Of young. un- trained men who were ca silly conta m mated by Bolshevist doctrine II was his opinion that this would not have happened if an old time German of f1cer had been commanding.
 The prince concluded the in terview by saving that 60,000 German officers had lost their lives in the war
 Prince Ca ri was German military attache with the Japanese army dur ing the Russo Japanese war. During the visit to Germany in 1907 of the late King Edward he was relieved of command of the First Regiment of Drago Guards. of which King Ed ward was the honorary commander. It was rumored at the time that his friendliness to the Japanese and his open hostility to the Russians was the cause of his transfer.

John Dotson and R. J. Mckanna, two ranchers from Eagle river, left for that place in an open boat pow cred with an outboard motor yester- lay afternoon. Tho men had been in town for several days on business.
 John Dotson, whose ranch is near what is known as the Salt Lake in the Eagle River district, has one of he most highly cultivated ranches in Alaska and this season the ranch has oeen highly profitable to the owner. Besides raising strawberries which always command a good price in the Juneau market, MT. Dotson raises crops of various kinds of vegetables. This year he is adding some Hol- stein stock to his farm equipment and will without doubt make a success of raising them as he has am pie pasture room and large hay fields.
 The McKanna farm, which is near Dotson's. while not so large. is in a good location and with some more cultivation will prove profitable 1ne.
 As with all the farmers of that Iection these men are pinning their faith on the new road that will one lay lead from Juneau to Eagle river being built now as far as Aux Bay. When this road is completed that part of the country will be but a short auto ride from Juneau and they will be able to deliver their products Q Juneau in fast time and Juneau people will be able to motor there md get fresh berries and vegetables.
