THE Open FORUM

Editor: t
We had fendlx hoped that some gem
eral discussion of ne proposed league
Of nations might be aroused. We feel
that it deserves much more earnest
thought by each and all than has thus
far been accorded It in our busy life.
Those who argue against a League
of Nations probably lose sight OF the
fact that it is neither that or the bal
ance Of power. We cannot take either
your time or your space to discuss
that ancient an ~dbarbarous system Of
diplomacy, Suf-
fsisaE Ill het.a.ta aMs4t.s.@ centuries
lit has been the prolific breeder of Euro
pean wars and has been the direct
cause of all alliances and %ententes;
groups Of nations n~aistrusting each
other and scheming and planning
against each other. 1T will be well
worth any student time and effort to
study up the doctrine OF Balance OF
Power. we feel sure that he would
do all he possibly could to help sub.
stitute the League OF Nations for it.
1t may be we'll TO remember, In this
connection, that both England and
France were at first opposed to the
League OF Nations. French statesmen
were reported by the press as saying
openly: "The Balance Of Power has
worked satisfactorily SO far, why
change it?s Even though we did not
get all that might be desired IN the
present constitution Of the League of
Nations, for president Wilson to have
persuaded both England and France
TO accept that principle, constitutes
one Of the most brilliant victories in
The history of statesmanship.
1t Is time for thinking folks to re-
alize that there will be a realignmept
Of nations. This reaIlgnmeht will be
guided by one 81 taasssss:er, the league
ot nations Or the balance of power.

HORROR TALES !
Have BIRTH IN
CAMP RuMORS
Correspondent Explains the Why.
and Wherefore Of Many Stories
of y Terrible Conditions al Mill
tary Bases.
BY FRED S.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, March 10 Ry Mafl.AJudging
from reports drifting back to Europe,
America is now getting all the thrills
OF the old 'fblood-curdlingn stories
that laave been drifting around France
for months-aLd some Of them for years
Through returning soldiers. They are
the product of n OF the greatest rum
or factories the world eyer saw-the
Allied armies.
The stories of the horrible" condi.
lions at Brest, and of many men dying
there, are probably traceable to this
curious feature OF army life. Most Of
the stories which We're SO glibly SPIN
to New York reporters probably origi-
mated on the boats en- route to Arneri.
ca. n mar heard another tell some.
one Of what someone else had told him,
and by Inc time the boat locked every.
one on board was probably coilvinced
that men were dying like flies at
Brcst. CESS
The record of the I3rest camp, as
described by a United Press cerrespon
dent recently after visiting Brest, dis
proved some Of the stories, But horror,
stories will continue to reach Ameri.
ca The best off-hand explanation. is
probably found in the lack of commune
cation for individuals in the army.
As an example, imagine what would
happen in your town if there We're nc
newspapers; if conditions of threatening
death constantly prevailed; il there was
a big fire, or an explosion every night
If you had no responsibility other than
that of doing ONE particular job as
signed you, while someone else saw that
YOU wers fed and had place to sleep.
There being no newspapers, the only
way you would have OF learning what
happened at these fires and explosions
would be through what someone toi1
YOU.
BY reason Of the conditions under.
which the private soldier lives ans.
fights, he is the most unreliable author.
ity to he found when it comes to learn
ing what happened. Rumors fly so
thick and so fast that a majority of the
enlisted men apparently soon become
confused in what they saw and did. OF
hundreds q spldierssIahaxatalke
with very few have had anything to
say of what they saw or did. It was
always what someone else did.
Another unusual thing in this connec.
ton is how quickly a soldier picks uL
old timeworn fiction phrases when hit
gets in the zone Of action at the front.
For the past four years America has
fed on the greatest line of bunk and
hog+wash in the way Of war fiction
that the world has ever scent may
then be assumed, that under the strain
ed conditions under which the new sol
der found himself living, his mind
turned to the. fiction phrases he had
learned as civilian. There are thou
sands OF exceptions to this, OF course,
but in talking with soldiers YOU were
likely to hear as the most frequent ex-
pressions: wiped out;s blood floWec
with water, - ss.air was full OF Lead,
advanced shoulder tor shoulder Sly
ing hell, Inc 50 on. Audit isn't only
soldiers that fall In to this.

be fatal to his negotiations the.
Peace Conference. we may have some
animation of an element in President
Wilson's persuasfveness that induced
England 70 accept his principle Of a
league of nations.
In conclusion permit us to say that,
while a league of nations will not alb.
solutely insure against all future wars,
it will do 50 as nearly as any instru-'
ment Of human design cam 1t will
certainly be a vastly greater insur-
alncs than the old diplomatic system
Of the Balance Of power. May we ever
remember that 1T win be one or the
other. In view OF what the balance
of power has meant in the past. and
in view Of Americas present standing
among the nations OF the world, every!
true American citizen ought to do all
in his power to cause his senator to
be an ardent supporter Of the league
OF nations.
Let us also make ire that there
are no kind Of strings on senators who
ardently oppose the4president In this
matter. The old system has been q
prolific breeder Of large armies and
navies, and as between the two, the
navies are superior, as has been prov

PLACER MINING IN OLD CAMP
 OF FORTYMILE

That the old Fortymile country, though quiet in mining way at pres ent, will, when conditions become nor nal again (four being now $27 hun dred on Chicken creek), take on new life, is the opinion of an old-time min- ing man of that section who recently arrived in Fairbanks.
 Never again, of course, can the miner go to the numerous bars of the river with his rocker and make a stake; the outlook for modern mining methods for the future are better than ever, many holdings of Outside capital throughout the camp, which have been inactive for several years, having in some cases changed hands, the new owners showing their faith in the propositions by beginning devel- opment. A New York company had a large crew working on the old Den nison Hill hydraulic proposition last summer, at the mouth of Mosquito Fork. This company also had men working on the old King project on the North Fork, and a crew prospec- ing on some extensive holdings on Mosquito Fork, all these being placer properties. This company will have 12 men on Dennison Hill this winter. 7 A Scandinavian syndicate, said to be backed by the Scandavian Ameri- can Bank of Seattle, has been hy- draulicing on large scale on Dome creek, a tributary of O'Brien creek.
 The large dredge which has been working on the Fortymile, near the Canyon, on the Canadian side, for several years and which was reported as being successful, closed down sud denly, in the middle of the season of 1915, supposedly on account of the war The smaller dredge which has been working for several years on the American side, and which worked the season or l9lo on 1ToupleSolHe Point and around the mouth of Frank lin. was not in operation during the past summer.
 There are about one hundred men in the Fortymile at present, about forty being on Chicken creek. Jean Starbid is ground-sluicing on Stone

LOVES GIFT

came to us with the birth of Jesus Christ, Gods Son and Mans Savior. When God gave His Son, He taught us the real joy one may receive when we give our gifts in love-
 A loveless gift will chill and harden sympathetic soul and prepare a soil in which the seeds of hypocrisy may grow and bear it's selfish fruit.
 A love gift will warm and soften the selfish soul and will fuse all man. kind into a Christian brotherhood.
 Christ's work and ministry was one of love. Hence, we find the result of His work; so vast, so far-reaching, so abiding, and so worthy of our emu lation. The world is dying for lit tie bit of love! Who is withholding his or her bit of love, as he or she serves?

house fork; an outfit is also operat. ing the shallow ground on Hanneman bench, on Meyers fork; several of the old-timers worked in a small way on Chicken proper last summer. Johnny McMahon is hydraulicking on Lost Chicken; Bob Ingel and St. Florino have done well on their open-cut workings on Ingel creek. Nothing but mining in small way is being done on Walkers fork or it's tributaries, including famous old Jack Wade, the creek of pumpkin-seed gold, which proved so notoriously spotted, the spots being rich, and the gold very eparse.
 : Nick and Louis Peko, who have been open-cutting on Discovery, Chicken creek, are reported to have worked out the last of their ground there These two brothers, among the first miners on Chicken, were country men and intimate friends of the late Felix Pedro, after whom Pedro creek was named. Nick and Louis were shoveling in on Discovery, Chicken, when Pedro started for the then un- explored Panama country, and when he made the discovery on Pedro, which made possible Fairbanks, Alaskas Golden Heart, he sent word to his two fellow-countrymen to "come on: I struck it!" Nick and Louis needed not, but kept on shovel ing in on Discovery claim, preferring although not very rich, to distant pas lures in the then vague Tanana coun- try.-Fairbanks News-Miner.

In time this use of drugs will prob
ably be reduced by the application
of scientific methods and through
the efforts of the federal officers.
If the decrease. in crime amounted
to fifteen per cent. in New York City
in one month and the same percent
age holds good throughout the coun-
try, then national prohibition is sure
to prove itself not only satisfactory
but absolutely necessary TO thousands
of people who are not now favor
able to it. Time will show just what
this law will accomplish. No state
which ever enjoyed the rigid en-
forcement of prohibitory law for
long period, where conditions were
such that the law could. be enforced,
has ever finally repudiated prohibit
ton. This is why many people be-
lieve that national prohibition is here
to stay. The law isn't fool proof
nor is it crook proof. There will be
some places where it will not work
we'll at first but these will be few
in number compared with the places
where the proof that prohibition
makes for less poverty. crime AMI

The Labor Peril
(Biddeford JournaO


Sir Robert Horne warns British Ia
borers that unless everybody is will
ing to engage in honest toll the coun-
try will be ruined" Declaring that
the people are INDUCING in every
form of seldshness. he concludes by
ranking the refusal to give an ade-
quate days work with business pro-
fiteering. And what applies in Eng
land applies also here in the United
States. There is no real difference be-
tween manipulating the markets for
essential products and manipulating
the markets for certain kinds of or
gained labor. Horne was not the
first to point out England's danger
from this source. though he goes
more fully into details than most
others who have raised a warning
voice. He refers particularly, for ex-
ample. to the coal shortage that has
resulted from the extortions of the
organized manual workers engaged
in the industry. Here the parallel is
practically complete. In the United
States as we'll as in Great Britain the
coal miner has his way because he
has nearly every other industry by
the~throat and is in a position to
force the public to stand and deliver.
Broadly considered. the worker has
taken the place Of the capitalist, now
that government restraint has made
the capitalist powerless to collect the
profits that possession would natur-
ally yield.
