"America For Americans"
RELATIONS WITH JAPAN
The shifting of the United
states from a i*>sitiou of neutrality
'n the European war to one of
hostility against Germany and of
trieudlitess toward the allies' ca-use
has induced a better feeling be
tween Japan iui<l the United States.
Our gre«U naval program, of course,
aroused the Japanese jingo element
to the suspicion that we were pre
trouble for the Orient. Vice
Admiral Sato, director of the naval
staft college, has recently defended
the course of the Unied States
and explained to his people that
Arierican war preparation is cmJy
tor ■.at'.onl defense. No one but a
fool, says Sato, would suspect any
American purpose of hostility to
Japan.
"The great mission of the two na
tk ns," writes Admiral Sato, "is
t«> act as protectors and preservers
of thr p6ace of the Pacific, in har
monious co-opesratiun."
AaC this is precisely the direction
in which matters are now moving.

Juneau, April 4—Emory Valen

at yesterday's election, defeating the
two oth»ar candidates, Attorney Rob

Tiiti people split their vote over

UunnAr Blomgren, George Miller
and N©Is Sorby were elected to the
council to fill the position of the

new councilmea will hold office for
Ithe ensuing two years.
Mayor Valentine and the three
members of the council were elect

jvaa only put iu thQ field at the
eleventh hour, and ahows the popu
larity of Mr. Valentine, when he
can secure the suffrage of the peo
ple against such adveirsaries as
Robertson and Erickson. He lias
held 'he position of mayor of Ju

each term has been a credit not

It has been the uniform rule in
th.p x>ast thai when a great war
crisis has arisen the universities
have responded largely and prompt
ly to th* call. A Philadephia, n&wit
paper records that during the
civil wax more than 2,300 Univer
sity of Pennsylvania men saw ser
vice on one side or the other. The
oroportion of graduates of lother
universities who rendered service
during that war wag probably; equal,
ly as great. The university men
who are taking the present step
have learned something from the
war in Europe, primarily the lesson
that if they are to do their part
in the struggle before ub it ia time
♦hat they should equip themselves

possible,
LONG MUSH
Mocsehide, March 22—Rev. B.
Totty and Andrew Joseph! arrived
home Monday from a missionary
trip to Indians at the head of Peel
river. They were away 26 days and
on the way out had the advantage
of th.e Dolice patrol trail leading to
Rampart House. Indians from the
Whitesione river country reported
'•ho members of the patrol party
all well and making good progress.
No white men were seen after
leaving the head of Twelvamile, ol
t hough one man is prospecting ajf
'rappir.g about a day's trip from Ca
lico town, on the Blackstone.. Men,
say thev urefer living out on the
creeks where they can do better
than spending the winter in Daw
son with n^ work to do. The coun
try affords opportunity for trapping
thuntin? and prospecting for all who
wish..
The Indians hav4 a good quan
tity of furs, but are not able to
ccxme in just yet to sell them, on ac
count of scarcity of game. One ma^
has a pair of live black foxes which
he hcpes to sell for 5500.
Nine days were spent among the
Indians, who are a* three different
camps, but for the last few days all
met in one place, and took part in
church services and. instruction.
Thie na'iye lay- reader rendered
good service. The sacraments of
the onurch were administered to
the natives, who contributed of
their means to the expenses of the
journey. Robert Azzac, the aged
chief e° the band, was busy trap
ping, a.-:d diligent in attending
church meetings which were held
•n the catchist's large tent.
