MYSTERIOUS INDEED

returning visitor to Seattle states that ther are at least one thousand persons in that city awaiting transportation accommodation to come north. At the same time, this man says there are large number of vessels idle n the harbor, most of which under the control of the Federal Shipping Board. This is where the mysterious part of it all comes in. Plenty of boats, but they must not be used; appareHtly%
 Our fishing season is close at hand and labor is scarce. Why wouldn't the government use these boats to bring those whiting for the ac- commodation? Does 1t require an act of con gress before the people can use the government property with which to open up the country? If it does, then of course those vessels cannot be used for congress adjourned a short time ago, and to have prepared for just such an emergency required forethought, an impassibility with the administration
 In connection with this shortage of transport aton accommodation. there i5 something more to wonder at; and that is this: The agents of the transportation companies here say that the steerage accommodation is hardly ever occupied Are our old Alaskans who are desirOus to return north getting too tony to travel otherwise than first class. Of course t is their privilege; but if they are as anxious t3 return as they want us to believe little Inconvenience ike that should not be allowed to stand n their way. Come up boys. come up. You'll he just as big here in your working clothes as y3u think you are in the Spirit City with your c]ad rags on.

THEY ARE BRUTES RY NATURE

We enjoy calling the Germans Huns because they have conducted the war ike barbarians. In 1900 William II, in ar addres5 to the German expedition then leaving for Deking, told his sol diers to give no quarter and take no prisoners, but "gain a reputation ike the Huns under Alt tila.' In the world war, the GeEcaans have fully maintained that reputation i1 every respect We know from the eX-keiee~s latter to Francis Joseph that they represented policy of terro- rism, deliberately carried cut; a1d we also ki "
 that there was no protest from tae German peo- ples. Mr. Balfour spoke the truth when he said

HALIBUT CATCH INCREASED

The increase in the amount of halitut landed at this port is interesting. and especially so to those who are in business here and who benefit by the arrival of the fishermen and the boats and who sell supplies to the vessels. It is clear indication that this is the market that is bound to win out. The sale of 824,8OO lbs. of halibut at this port is a record for February.
 For the month of January it will be remember ed the catch landed here was 374,50O lbs. During that same month the halibut landed at Seattle amounted to 352,910 lbs. There was no halibut landed during that month either at ketchikan or Vancouver-Prince Rupert News.

Being civilized nations makes all the differ ence in the world. The United States and Great Britain have agreed that Germany must be fed, though the feeding entails high prices at home. But it is no comfort to contemplate how we would be fed by the Huns were the situation re- versed, for we know how little the Hun would care for starving John Bulls or Tanks. If the Huns must be fed they should be made to pay dearly for the food. Charity begins at home and in this case our pocketbOOks suffer.

Many persons have felt that justice had not been done when they saw the cities of France and Belgium in ruins, while those of Germany were unharmed. The spectacle of the Germans wrecking their own cities will be source of sa- tisfaction to these people, and they do it with guns and ammunition which would have been used against Americans if the war had continued Portland Oregonian.
