TYLER HOME IS
 SCENE OF PARTY
 OF YOUNGER SET

Mrs. M. V. Tyler was hostess last night at delightful house party given in honor of Miss Margaret Southworth, to the young people.
 The following were present at the party: Misses Valentine Ander- son, Vera Russell, Muriel Russell, Geraldine Patterson and Margaret Southworth, and Sam Ivey, Norman Russell, Walter Scott, Si Calder head, and Melville Cooney.
 The young people assembled at the home of their hostess, on First street, immediately after the picture show, and for some time indulged in various games. At the conclusion ofthe games the floor was cleared and the kids went in whole heart edly for dancing, which was kept up most enthusiastically for some con- SlueFdDle tune.
 A very unique and pleasing fea- ture was introduced at the party Just before supper the girls of the Smart Set" were shown a network of light twine spun in the semblance of a spiders web, and each one was required to follow their particular string in the web, unraveling it as they went on. At the end of the string the name of the partner each girl was to sup with was found in little artistic card with an ap- propriate little verse. The card be- ing attached to the end of the string so that no mistakes could occur.
 Both the girls and the boys of the smart set' had great time in getting paired off for supper.
 At midnight, a sumptuous supper was partaken of and dancing was resumed immediately afterwards. The party came to an end at two o'clock in the morning, the kids, who had thoroughly enjoyed them selves, voting their hostess a "jolly good fellow"

WILL SHOW
 FAMOUS PICTURE TONIGHT

The magnificent twelve-reel photo drama entitled Joan the Woman" vii be shown at the Coliseum to- night for the last time, and those who failed to see it on New Years night will have an opportunity of seeing positively the very best pie ture that has ever been seen in Alaska.
 The large crowd who saw it on the night of New Years are loud in their praise of it and unhesitat- ingly say that it is great deal better than either the Birth of a Nation" or "Intolerance", both of which were shown in Nenana some time ago.
 As an added attraction to the evenings entertainment, Mrs. Leon Kellum will render the famous solo "Joan of Are" during the course of the picture and at the proper time. Those who have heard Mrs. Kellum sing know what a great treat is in store for them tonight.
 The price of admission tonight will be one dollar with 25 cents extra for reserved seats.

The dogs will be handled by Mike Cooney, who has the con- tract to take them to Anchorage, C. H. Calhoun and Charles Trundy. The party will leave with three sleds drawn by ten dogs to each sled and will be fully equipped in every way to brave the dangers of the trail They will carry an en- tire camping outfit to serve in case of need, due to stormy weather. They intend, however, to patronize the roadhouses enroute.
 A sufficient quantity of fish for the dogs has been sent on ahead to the stopping places enroute and as far as the Summit roadhouse. From this point on until the end of steel on the coast division is en- countered, the party will carry suffi- cient feed for the dogs. A consign- ment of POO pounds of dog feed has been sent to Talkeetna by order of the engineeer in charge of the coast division, for the use of the dog teams on the return journey.
 MT Ryan, who is on brief visit to Fairbanks, is expected to return in a few days, when the final arrangements for the departure of the party will be made.
 The trail is said to be in first rate condition for dog teams and it is expected that the party will make quick and pleasant trip to the coast.

A %RELUCTANT SlCNER

On Monday it was reported that Haniel v. Hahn
hansen who was chosen to append the signature Of the
German government to the peace treaty. energetically
had said that he would not do so; yet the following
morning an apparently authentic report coming from
Paris says that v. Haimhaussn Win sign the treaty, after
all, and then one saying that he would resign rather
than sign.
1t is comparatively immaterial whether this particu-
lar Individual resists or consents, and the incident is men
toned merely because it 10 typical of the attitude Of the
German government ever since tho peace terms began
to become known. We have heard a lot about national
pride forbdding the acceptance Of the peace conditions
of vital interests which would suffer extremely in case
the fatal signature were affixed: we have heard many
words about German desires to defy the Allies even at
the hour Of deepest humiliation, and We have been
taught by facts not to believe the protestations which
were accompanied with a chorus of I'VE wiz not sign"
Such things make no impression on the rest Of the world.
for it is nothing but camouflase, to USE one Of the words
that became 30 popular during the war.
What may be of more importance is the probable Ger
man readiness to consider the peace treaty another
scrap Of paper" as it appears from an address deliv-
cred at Weimar by Premier Bauer. In denouncing the
conditions Herr Bauer takes advantage Of the epportu-
nifty to inform the world at large that he is quite certain
the treaty cannot be respected in ali It's details, and that
some Of its stipulations must need be violated.
= That the willingness to ignore the command Of the
peace treaty is present seems quite certain. but there is
some doubt as to the ability Of new Germany to tear
the document to pieces. Furthermore. Germany cannot
afford it, and in this respect the nation does we'll in re!
Numbering Herr Bauer's own words that "only by q
revolution of our moral consciousness can Ne succeed in
raising Ourselves out of our night into a better future. "
Surely a renovated moral consciousness cannot sanc-
ton any contemplated violation of an agreement SOL
ernnly signed by duly accredited representatives of the
government apd the people.

A QUESTION DISPOSED OF

One KNOWS h&roly Whether to smile or to be sorry
At the display Of useless "herotsn' made by the German
naval officers who sent the Nwarships surrendered under
the armistice terms to the bottom Of the sea at scapa
Flow: the similar sinking Of unsurrendered vessels still
in German ports may have been Spectacular but could,
serve no purpose. 80 - .
1t may be that the Germans had the example of the
Russians who burned MOSCOW when Napoleon approach
cd, in mind. and that they thought it great and heroic
to annoy their conquerors by destroying their battleship.
and other vessels-and by letting them subnnerge with the
German colors flying high. No one knows the enact mo-
tive. but 1t may be permissible to suppose that the ele-.
ment Of perverted pride enters here. SN
Incidentallx>we learn that Admiral Won Reuter- still
acknowledges his obedience to the former emperor of
Germany who had given an~oYder to the effect that a
vessel flying the imperial standard was never to surren7
der; the admiral rs quoted as saying enough to make it
clear that he continued to feel himself bound by the COM
nands Of his former master, my
With of without the authority Of the present German
government the warships have been destroyed with the
result that a vexatious question has been disposed of. 1t
will be recalled that the problem as to what to do with
the surrendered fleet has caused a lot of discussion, and
gradually the suggestion that it was to be sunk seemed
to gain popularity in spite Of the waste Of useful mate
riaf such a procedure would involve. Now the Germans
themselves have been considerate enough to spare the
Allies of the expense and trouble of doing anything fur
tner n n mater. puL I ID very nkeIy tQat q searching
inquiry will be conducted, for the obvious question is:
How could a thing like this happen with the British navy
standing guard? True enough. the armisttce terms pre-
cluded the necessity of manning the German ships with
Allied cfews. but it was to be reasonably supposed that
some effective supervision would be exercised. 1T Is ev-
Iident that somebody blundered. and quite certain that
punishment for neglect will follow. a.
Oddly enough. the best Characterization of the
wholesale destruction of the warships comes from a Ger
man newspaper. the Neues Zeituns, which aptly remarks:
The officers and men who performed this deed may
be forgiven. They acted in the spirit in which they were
trained On the other hand, If their action carries with
it injurious results for Germany. it must be regretted, for
Germany IL hardly in a position to indulge in tbs luxury
of heroic poses and the brief satisfaction of appearing
before the world in this Bensalisn illumination may have
to be paid for in cash" s@F

THE BAD, BAD WESTERNERS

When William S. Devery, known as the best chief
Of police New York ever had, died last week, some-of
in an. effort to emphasize the picturesque side Of this
former official who on numerous. occasions had been
more or less favorabay involved in political scandals Of
every known variety. ~
One Of his remarks. often uttered, we understand,
was that he had been the subject Of more journalistic
v1llification than any other man under the sun: II Won
der II any man has ever been soaked as hard as 1.-The
used to say, and then added in his racy language: "a
"of all the ddnned liars I ever knew these western
newspapermsn are the best. They roast a man harder
the less they know him. But l amt sore at them"
With this grapdiloduent comment the Big Chief dis
missed the subject WITHOUT apparently caring very much
for the general truth or untruth Of his words. AS a plain
matter Of fact, there is no real difference between the
eastern and western newspapernen. They do not lie,
for attempts in that direction would mean disgrace and
dismissal in any decent newspaper office. But Devery's
remarks are interesting because they are typical of the
attitude Of a large part of the reading public who main
tains an attitude of doubt toward, everything that appears
IN the pres. a
Western newspapermen" or those in the east have
a. elevated professional ideals as men who are engaged In
doing other kinds Of work. Their sensitiveness in regard
to truth may BE- somewhat ksener because they are
trained to appraise the value Of the written word and be-
cause they are deeply conscious Of the responsibility with
which their work u clothed.
II the sensral public k9ew 70 iwhst expense and to
what trouble newspapers nowadays 30 in their efforts to
find and verify facts, we might hear less Of the nonsense
which Devery's remarks typtied. That ali newspapernen
are equally jealous Of thei4 professional honor and pres
tiss, would b, too much 70 say, but taken = an average,
they are enthusiastir In their willingness to give their
readers the facts without deceptive Embellishments. aThey
