THE YANGTZE INCIDENT

1t was the sinking of the Maine that touched off
the spark Of war with Spain. The Lusitania incident
credited with preciptatng the United States into
81 the World War. Is it the Panay tragedy in the
Yangtze river in China which is about to hur into
another conflict?
AS reports emanate from the Orient of the bomb
ing and sinking of the American gunboat Panay and
two Standard Oil tankers with accompanying loss of
life Americans are once again thrown into tentative
war fever the word Panay rings round the world.
Automatically and naturally the cry rumbles
about the nation. On the streets of Juneau upon
the streets of every city and village in America in
dgnaton instantly arises We become a nation
aroused, insulted and demanding retaliation.
Will that spirit subside if a settlement considered
satisfactory, is reached when all the facts become
known to those authority? Therein lies the danger
of Conflict is caused not by such incidents the
sinking of the Maine the Lusitania or as now the
Panay it is caused by the Indignation that is aroused
by such overt acts nation aroused is dangerous
nation
Japan is only too well aware of that fact as she
accepts responsibility for the affair in the Yangtze
Can she patch this up warlike nations have so
often done in the past without actually getting their
wings burned?
S Before Marking serious matter has arisen. Only
the State Department and military heads know
the full details Now is excellent time to keep
calm and hold our verbal fire.

ficulty in maintaining schedules.
j. o. Hewitt, on trial accused OF
stealing a gold brick from the
Chichagoff Mining Company, took
the stand in the afternoon in his
own defense and made a good wit
ness. No morning session of the
court was held because members OF
the jury from Douglas were not
present because there was no terry
operating.
The gas boat Unity of Excursion
Inlet had been wrecked in gale
three days previous and the men,

the cause of the Red Cross.

mill at Thane, moved to Thane from
Douglas with his wife and baby as
ferry service was too uncertain from
the Island to the mainland.
A farewell party was held the
previous night in Douglas in honor
of Leo Higley, william Anderson
and Carl Olson who we're leaving
on one of the first steamers for en-
listment at the front in the World
War.
San Francisco reports were that
a German raider was operating in
the Pacific and all vessels were
warned.
At the Perseverance mine the
thermometer registered below zero.
