SHANTUNC VOTE
 STILL DELAYED

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 8.-P) Opponents to the treaty are resort ing to all kinds of tactics to delay immediate consideration of the re- maining amendments to the treaty They are openly playing waiting game, killing time in the most obvious manner.
 The opposition today blocked an attempt to set a date for voting on the Shantung amendment which was to come up last Monday. A joint re- quest from both democratic and re- publican leaders, who are supporting the treaty in it's present form asking that this amendment be set for con- sideration one week hence was re- fused, leaders of the opposition re- fusing to give it unanimous consent. Senate leaders predict that the next ten days of work on the treaty will consist of set speeches by various senators, montonous drone of read ing clerks as they blow their way thru the printed text.

federal appropriation of 3l00,000, 900 for co-opporation with the state in the carrying out of an educational program which includes the removal of illiteracy. an Americanization cam paign, better preparation of teachers. more adequate physical and health education and the equalization of ed ucation and the equalization of oppor- tunity regardless of whether a child lives in poor or wealthy commun- ity. Alaska is not yet included in the benefits of the bill, altho most de- termined effort is being made to bring this about.
 In 70 far as the territory is con- cerned, there is an interest in educa- tion manifested by people in all walks of life which is extremely encourag- ing. The territorial legislature at it's last session was most liberal in it's appropriations for cause of education. Various communities are also launch ing movements looking toward the betterment of the material equipment of the schools. Petersburg recently received permission to bond the city for $75,000 for the purpose of erect ing a modern school building and making other federal impro semen S.. Federal legislation authorizing Ket- chikan to bond herself for $100.0 .0G0 for the purpose of erecting school building was also recently enacted. Reference has already baCn made to the building expansion contemplate d by the Fairbanks school board Schools turnout the territory arc e. voting more attention to ny,ical c,'u- cation and to the addition of v.ca- tional training courses to the curicu- lum. The time should .oon arriv 0 when no parent in an.' comm ,itty will feel that his or he- child can oe cure better educational opportunities on the Outside than in Alaska.

Thursday and yesterday it was un- officially reported that the steamers Washburn and Yukon were in sight at Circle but as far as is known here they had not reached there late last night and there is a possibility that they are stuck below that point. The Seattle 3 was last reported up from Circle on October 4, and prOb- ably passed Eagle about Oct. 2, or ahead of the Alaska which was by Eagle Thursday. Some definite intUr- nation will probably be received to- day as to the location of all vessels.

LAST STEAMER FOR UP
 RIVER LEFT ON THE 9th
YUKON, WASHBURN, SEATTLE 8 AND ALASKA STILL BELOW DAWSON; ICE RUN IS SAID TO BE HEAVY FROM ABOVE DAW- SON.

DAWSON, Y. T., Oct. 10.-A sudden drop in the temperature, carrying the mercury to six degrees below zero, threatens to put an end to all river transportation before the last boats of the season arrive from lower Yu- kon river points. The dredges operat- ing in the district have shut down on account of the frost, two weeks earlier than is usual.
 The Yukon river is almost choked up with heavy ice run. It is serious ly doubted whether the ships Wash burn, Yukon, Alaska and Seattle 8, now enroute here from the lower riv- CT, wil be able to buck the ice and it is generally believed that they will be forced to tie up at intermediate points. The last steamer from Dawson for Whitehorse left here last We'd nesday.

SEATTLE'S LOYALTY CREED

At the height of the attempted general strike in Sc
attic, Wash, the Seattle Star, a. fearless newspaper never
known to be dif!dent about speaking the truth, wrote all
editorial article. which may some day be acknowledged
as the formal loyalty creed Of that city, and which GER
tainly reflects sentiment as it exists throughout the coun-
try. In taking, the liberty Of reprinting the editorial,
which is headed, INC COMPROMISED, The Herald wishes
to say that it heartily endorses the thoroughly American
spirit which dictated the article.
1t reads as follows:
ION the issue of Americanism Seattle made no COM
promise. And on that issue Seattle will never and shall
never make a compromise. Z
when the principles of American democracy were
attacked, thousands Of miles away and across the ocean.
Seattle came through 100 per cent.
"And in this later attack on those same principles.
here at home. Seattle is again coming through 100 per
Just as the American part Of Seattle labor stood
by Seattle in the world wa test, so>that American part
of Seattle labor will come through again. They are COM
ing through. Temporarily misled by a gang Of criminal,
un-American leaders, Seattle union labor can be de-
pended upon not only to repudiate that false leadership,
but to see to it that punishment goes with the repudia-
ton. And on the other hand, seattle's American labor
can depend upon it that the rest of Seattle will stand
by them.
Those enemies of labor who think they have an OPP
portunity now to take advantage OF the decent, honorable
% American labor movement had better stop before it is
too late
Seattle must be an American city. 1t must be made
free of Bolsheviks and Bolshevism. Just so it must be
made free of labor-crushing methods.
= Seattle labor is awakening to the fact that this
IBolshevik attack was not only an assault upon Americat,
--principles Of government. but it was an attack on the
Every principles of American organized labor. 1t would
substitute for the American Federation of Labor some
thing akin to the Bolshevik reign of terror in Russia.
That is WHY the international unions of this country dis
avowed the strike.
Ell Under the American system, law, order and author
ity are recognized. The American method is the use of
1.-The ballot. The Bolshevik method is the use of the torch.
1.-The Star stands today where it has always stood.
'1t will fight in the future as it has always fought
uncompromisingly for the best interests of all the people.
ut will fight any interest that seeks to undermine
Americanism, and it will fight regardless of the conse-
Squences.''

usage in the new world which will soon be created The
question OF new Belgian territorial acquisitions has been
temporarily left in the hands Of q special commission
which will file an exhaustive report when it has COM
pleted it's study Of the situation. While there is a general
disposition to concede that Belgium has even extraordi-
nary claims on humanity, thoughtful statesmen are
dubious as to the strict rectitude Of the program. Aside
from the principles Involved there is the practical diff
ulty-demonstrated so often in the history Of other
governing a part Of nations which are not
Belgian. What future complications a cessation of land
such as that asked for by the Brussels government, may
give rise to, no one can foretell at this time, and this, of
course. is a factor that will be duly considered before a
decision is made.
