 Nome welcomes her queen back just as proudly as we were to send her to compete against all corners, and like a good "sport" Miss Nome had nothing to regret and praised her rivals.
 Miss Nome, daughter of Mrs. Chas. Calkins, was born in Nome. The trip was her first adventure away from home, but luckily she was not among strangers in Fair banks, for many former Nomeites now make their home there, and on the arrival of Miss Nome at Fairbanks she was met at the landing field by committee, many of whom were former lad ies of Nome.
 AS the saying goes-she was wined, and dined, danced and lunched and entertained from morning till night, and had one of the best times of her young life.
 There were two or three of special notice-one the all-Nome luncheon given in her honor at Gerald's Cafe, which included large number of former Nome women, with Mrs. Noel Wien as chairman. Miss Virginia Calkins a sister of Miss Nome, and also Miss Joyce Harris, the queens chaperon, from Nome.

That America was settled by tribes who came out of Asia is generally admitted. But by what route did they come? The Bering Strait suggests itself. It turns out to be fifty-four miles wide. Be sides, 1t is never completely fro zen. So the Hand bridge" theory of migration from Asia to North America has been chung to by only few anthropologists.
 Along comes Dr, John P. Har- rington, Smithsonian Institution ethnologist, with proof thar it is possible to walk betwten North America and Asia. Captain Max Gottschalk of Nome writes to Dr. Harrington that he did it in Mar ch, 1913, with my sled, its load of fur and food, and sixteen dogs
 It took Gottschalk two and a half days to reach Big Diodn-ede Island, travelling at an angle over the moving ice to allow for the current. After feed ing and resting the dogs, ,"he says, q struck out for Little Diorn ede Island, which is close by, and easily made it, as the ice between the two islands is grounded"

THE CRISIS SHIFTS TO THE ORIENT

Current reports would indicate that what ap- peared to be the peaceable settlement of the Euro pean crisis was rather the shifting of the international focal point from Europe to the Orient Peace, after a fashion continues but strained relations again appear to be raising their heads in several sources
 Mainly. the situation is based on the aggression of Japan in South China Successfully seizng Canton the Japanese are now taking exception to the long existing open door policy in the Orient and have warned the French that assistance which is claimed France has given the Chinese, may bring about un pleasant results and especially the seizure of Hanan Island which is French controlled,
 On the surface these interchanges would appear to arise only from the Japanese action in China, but they actually have a far greater significance
 For quite a long while German Japanese diplo- matic relations has been based unconventional channels For more than three years Japans mili- taYy attache in Berlin H. Oshima, played con- spicuous the Japanese endeavors to bring about firm German apanese alliance. During the last year this alliance has gradually come out into the open. In September, 1887. German -Manchukuoan loan agreement was signed, which in substance pro- vides for a German loan to Japan Since the outbreak of the war in China, German-J Japanese commercial relations have been intensified, while German Chinese economic friendship has visiby cooled Last May Germany recognized Manchukuo recalled her military advisers from Chiang Kai Sheks headquarters and withdrew her Ambassador from China Now MT Oshima has been appointed Japans Ambassador in Berlin. living symbol of the Tokyo Berlin entente which in the new Japanese foreign policy takes the place of the traditional AngloJapa rose friendship
 More than mere coincidence links these Far East frn developments with the peaceful surrender of Czechoslovakia Are Britain and France likely to defend their Far Eastern interests against Japan after deserting the Czechs? Evidently the Japanese military naval authorities believe the is in the negative.
 Japans offensive in Southern China osensiby aims the Canton -Kowloon and the Canton Hankow railways But such military necessarily implies
 threat British Hong Kong which lives the trade with it's hnterland in Southern China. In order to avoid clash of British and Japanese interests the Japanese for months had been satisfied with aerial attacks on the ton-Hankow Railway. but they had succeeded in reducing the rail link between Canton and Hankow to a tenuous thread along which only modest transportation work and that of little military importance, could be undertaken. Thus mil- tary necessities are thin preext to conceal the real intention of Japan's offensive which aims at disclosing the weakness of Britains position in the Far East and her unwillingness to defend it.
 And in her challenging attitude toward the United States and France Japan reveals further that she is not playing lone hand There is ample reason to
