MIR. HORNADY CRIES WOLF

MT. William T. Hornady, Director of the Bronx Zoo, is an old acquaintance of Alas kans A prominent leader of the Campfire Club of America and an ardent defender ot the country's big game, he 1t IS who has been most jealous in opposition to the klllng of pre- datory animals, notably the Alaska brown bear, by the "ruthless and predaclous' set tiers of the Far North. It is with some con- siderable disturbance of the risibles, there fore that we read in the press dispatches of today the agtated warning of MT. Hornady against the depredations of alleged bands ot wild and mad wolves who, he declares, are threatening a violation of the immigration laws via the Canadian boundary and conspir- inc for a united attack upon peaceful and 1n- offensive American citizens. It IS not be- yond the memory of man still resident i'll southern Alaska when Mr. Hornady took violent exception to the pernicious habits o1 settlers in the staying of the Big Brown Bea~, in srite of the fact that that enormous and powerful beast is one of the most dan gerous and vicious enemies with which the settler las had to contend, and that hls slay- ing a,d mutilations have claimed many peace ful and inoffensve citizens. In directing at tscks upon settlers who, in the cNlgencles oi life and safety have found It necessary |" slay this animal, MT. Hornady has thought not cf tie rights and privileges due to settlers, but of those of the big-game hunters, who have seen in the depletion of the Alaska brown heu, one of their greatest sources of sport. What the effect of unrestricted increase m wild animals may mean to the settlers of country now appears to have been borne m upon the intelligence of Mr. Hornady, whose excited cry of "Wolf wofn' falls upon Alas kan cars to the accompaniment of cach1nna- tions of laughter. Conservation of the coun- try's big game is eminent1y to be desired, and in the closed seasons and fines provided by sensible laws any sensible citizen. will concur But it isn't always the theoretic conservation ist, as we have had fearful cause to know, who is best qualified to dictate those laws.

FREEING THE DARDANELLES

1he most hopeful news has come from the Lausanne conference is the Allied proposal, favorably received by the Turks, for the dis manting of Qualifications at the Dardanelles and the freeing of the straits to the ships of peace and war of all nations. This is note worthy progress toward world concord, for the program would go far toward removing a source of friction. The plan to administer the zone through an international commission is in line with the irresistible tendency toward a firmly knit world organization.
 That the formal proposal for international 1zatlon of the straits came immediately after the United States laid down demand at Lau- same fer an open door challenges the Amcri- can Government to participate willingly in it's proper share of the task. There was much reason in the Turkish assertion, at the opening Of the present barley, that the United States could not claim privileges in and influence upon Turkish settlement unless it were willing to assume it's portion of responsibility. That argument is given special point in the definite suggestion of Lord Curzon for accomplish ing something positive, constructive and safe for peace, democracy, civilization and all the other aims of which so much was heard onlv a few years ago.

ACHIEVING THE IMPOSSIBLE

Somebody has said that the American na- |tiona motto should be: ''It can't be done let's do it' The reference is to the typical attitude of courage and confidence toward the seemingly impossible task This trait has just been strikingly exemplifed by workers of the American Committee for Devastated France. In the portion of the country that was laid waste by the German invaders IS what is known as the Zone Rouge, the fred zone,' where Government officials have de clared the land irreclaimable.
 In tlis district the committee made special efforts Refusing to be daunted by the pessl- mistic official prediction, the committee set tractors and other modern farm machinery to work. A syndicate was formed to loan money to the impoverished farmers and they are now beginning to pay back the money A cooperative society was organized through which the farmers and their laborers were able to buy material at low prices. Fields that long lay waste have been reclaimed, homes have been rebuilt and whole region that had been officially abandoned is being restored to prosperity and usefulness.
 And all because handful of optimistic, de- termined Americans refused to admit the possibility of failure in the face of great initial discouragement.

LEAGUE OF LASH IS ENGLISH
 KU KLUX

LONDON, Jan. 13. - The Ku Klux Klan probably does. not exist in Erg- land, but it is said to have been u inspiration of secret society whicE is reported to be flourishing in sea port towns.
 Englands counterpart of the Ku Klux Klan is known as "The Secret League of the Lash" It is said t, have been formed by Englishmen who have taken into their own hands the punishment of those who offend the moral laws.
 "The Secret League of the Lash" is most secret, but it is reported that it's purpose is to prevent men, not of the white race, from mingling with white women. In Cardiff and other seaport towns, where men of all races come down from the sea, there has been a growing tendency on the part oi wo- men to forget the color line, and ill fact, there have been several scan ials which have aroused the people of the country
 Ignore Color Line
 In London the Investigations of Scotland Yard relative to alleged sale of narcotics has led to many state ments which tend to show that the color line is not being strictly drawn
 The English secret society which has taken it upon itself to deal with offenses against the moral laws of the country and to establish itself as an inter-racial social arbiter is patterned after the Ku Klux Klan and has for it's symbol dagger surmountcd by

ALASKA'S CLIMATE

Our cln.ae like our Democratic Federal appointoes, is always with us. It is the only asset that the conservationist has not clam pred to the Administrations to save posterlty. While it is not mentioned in our histories It is probably the oldest thing in Alaska, ante dating some of our jokes by several years The fishing interests have not attempted to corral it, nor has any Government bureau seen lit to throw it into a reserve It is true we have a weather bureau appointed to look after it, but our Territory is so vast that apparently it has not been able to control its vagaries.
 Today the sun shines brightly. The air IS redolent with perfume-which indicates that our up stairs roomers are cooking ham and cabbage, or that our gas engine is running The song of the coal man minges with the twittering of the guls and all nature smiles The sky is like turquoise, studded with dia- monds, the snow-clad peaks glittering and sparkling in their new mantles of ermine, the sun limning the sky with its lip stick.

 Lodges of "The Secret League of the Lash" are said to have been es- tablished in London, Cardiff. Newcas- tle-on-Tyne, Liverpool Swansea and Glasgow
 Offenders Punished
 In several ports of England it is understood that "The Secret League of the Lash" has meted out punish ment to persons offending against it's own codes, and several racial riots which have occurred in seaport towns may have been the result of action taken by the secret society.
 Thus far the operations of the se- cret society have been well covered, if it exists and is in operation as re- ported, and it has not crossed the path of the government. Scotland Yard is reported to be conducting an inquiry into the organization.
