Tales are told of courtesies shown
by German submarine captains when
about to bomb enemy ships. One
captain actually is reported to have
let his victims stand on deck of his
submarine while awaiting rescuers,
after he had shot their boat to pieces.
When they came near to the rescuing
vessel, he let them again take to their
boats and be picked up while his
vessel disappeared into the depths.

BY gum, folks, 1 believe a good
plan to stop wars would be to re-
quire all men over As years of age
to fight them. 1t isn't the young
fellows who start a war; they think
too much of life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness.

to foreign agents wanting to buy
them.

That is the pathetic part of all

our friends, just to satisfy selfish

They are very much like the gang
sters in some of our large cities who
would have merchants join their
protective association. If they re-
fused, their establishments either
would fall on their heads-induced by
bomb-or they were blown up in
the night by the would-be protectors.

BY A. w. CONAWAY

Senator H. Styles Bridges, Repub-
lican of New Hampshire, has said
that "as soon as the extraordinary
session of congress meets we are to
be confronted with proposed steps
which might easily lead us into a
totalitarian state" Well, by golly,
if the majority of the more than 500
representatives of the people who
meet in congressional session are
weakened enough to allow them

stick and adhere to the theory, where

DECISION REVERSED
 IN (ARSCADDEN CASE

Photographic advices have been received from Paul OBrien, Clerk of the U. s. Circuit Court of Appeals, San Francisco. that the Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday revers- ed Judge Alexander's decision from which Attorneys Robertson & Mon- agle appealed when he held that their client, Melville St. Elmo Cars cadden was not entitled to recover from the Territory, which was rep resented by Attorney General James S. Truitt, the estate of his mother involving $1,92188, which had been escheated to the Territory. The local District Court held on June 30, 1888, that the property could not be recovered because only seven years was allowed to bring the ac- tion under Chapter 95, ASL, 1883, but the Circuit Court of Appeals held that that law was not to be given retroactive effect, and that Carscadden had ten years under the provisions of Chapter 40, ASL 1921, in which to bring his suit.
 The case also involved the ques- tion whether the District Court of Alaska was a supreme court for the Territory when the construction of local laws only was under consid- eration, but the Appellate Court decided to the contrary, although a dissenting opinion was rendered by one of the Circuit Court judges.
