WHEN NATIONS TREAD SOFTLY
.Atlin, B. C.
One of the most Interesting and most dynamic political situations is be
ing developed in the Near East. That it is fraught with the greatest dan
ger to the peace of the world is evident from the manner In which all the
powers are watching every move.
Mustapha Kemal Pasha is obviously alive to the hign import of his
every move, and is carrying on with consummate skill, the only question
iirwhat will happen when the break is made. The chess board is all set
slid soon the Allies or Kemal will cry "Checkmate." then what?
If there is anything In superstition, Kemal has a hoodoo in is name Mus
tapha, for four Mus pha's have been rulers In Turkey, one in 1617, one
in 1695, one in 1757 and one in 1S07, and each left Turkey worse than
he found it. Will Mustapha Kemal follow In their train. The next few
weeks will probably determine this question. In the meantime, Britain, par
ticularly aud Greeco on tha side, and Russia, Bulgaria and Turkey on
t::e other, with Germany, probably the most outsida interested spectator is
vatching the game with intense interest. And Why?
Here are some of the outstanding features:
1. The Baku oil fields, and other developments In the oil region.
2. The Dardenelles break in the Berlin-Bagdad railroad.
3. The Naval access to Black sea and consequent break of communi
cations with Persia and India. Russia could be struck here.
4. The elimination of Turkey as a power for discord In Europe.
5. Communication with the Danube through the Black sea.
Here is enough reasons without going further to make a good case
for Turkey's move, now that she has a victorious army, and is backed b>
Russia and Bulgaria, and German sympathy, for a decision by diplomacy,
if possible, and by force if need be. for the retention of the Dardetielles.
Britain is the only power in the way. and Lloyd George is conceeded to be
no novice at the game of diplomacy. The neutrality of the Straits has al
ready been violated, but Kemal is well aware of the enormous power In that
great fleet, and while he is playing a difficult hand, there is no doubt that
he is playing it well. Should he cross the Hellespont, there Is every like
lihood that red war would spring up in Europe and it might involve every
nation. Its disastrous result none could foresee. All this from the foolish
ambition of King Cocstantlne.
SOME IT N DESIRABLE CITIZENS
There is something fundamentally wrong with a man who can get veh
ement in denouncing what is claimed to be an error of the Attorney-Gen
eral but has not one word of denunciation for the destruction of property,
the Interference with traffic, the personal assaults and the murders which
have characterized the coal and rail strikes, asserts the Republican Pub
licity Association, through its president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.
" A muu who can see only the possible mistakes of government offi
cials and blinds his eyes to unquestionable and notorious crimes commit
ted by the enemies of law and order, is at heart an anarchist, whatever may
be his pretensions in his public utterances. His sympathies are with the
idler, not with the worker. His concern is for the welfare of the rioter,
not for the welfare of the law-abiding citizen. He glories in the success ol'
crime aud bewails the supremacy of law. He exalts tyranny by intimida
tion and destroys respect for courts. In his zeal for protection of the right
of some men to quit, he has no thought for the right of other men to work
He justifies himself by quoting constitutional guarantees of free speech
but he is in league with men who defy the constitutional guarantee of free
dom to live. He is against this government or any government that pro
poses to protect the rights of all from the brute force of a tew, He Is an
undesirable citizen In any country at any time."
RICH VEIN STRUCK
OX EL NIDO MINE
The vein of the El Nido mine at,
Lislu.-iski Inlet was struck Monday.
September IS, on the lower cros»-cut
tunnel, 779 feet from its mouths, ac
cording to a statement made today
by J. H. Cann. president of the El
Nido Gold Mining Company, who ar-1
rived in Juneau this afternoon from
the mine. The vein shows 15 inches
wide, running five feet, the tunnel
width. It is at a depth of 475 feet.
200 feet below the upper tunnel,
which is 275 feet below the surface.
The survey gave an estimate of 770
feet to the vein on the cross-cut.
Work has already started on the
drift on tha ore and a raise to the
upper tunnel. Mr. Cann said. Hei
came in to take out lumber to be
used in the raise.
"A survey is now being made for a
mil! ite and we expect to start mov
ing two mills in before the first of
the year." said Mr. Cann. "One mill
will he on the Apex property." ,
Drill work has started on the ore
at t::e Apex property, Mr. Cann said.
Eight miners and two packers are
being used. Bunkhouses and other 1
equipment were put up some time
ago and the camp I* now under full 1
jtwing. t

GROWN' TO POINT WHERE 275,
(HK» WELLS NOW PRODUCING.
The first oil well In the United
States was brought In sixty-three
years ago by Col. Edwin L. Drake,
near Titusvllle, Pa. It was only
sixty-nine feet deep, but It marked
the beginning of an epoch the im
portance of which has only begun
to be realized.
T e demand for oil created by the
development of the Internal combus
tion engine has so stimulated the
growth of the industry that ther9
are today, according to estimates
by the American Petroleum insti
tute, about 275,000 producing well
in America.
Production has Increased from the
negligible quantity obtained In 1S59
from Colonel Drake's well, to an
output last year of 469.C39.000 bar

Sailor Mob
Battle Police
Tncoma, Sept. 15,—The most men
acing mob seen here in y oarp was
dispersed last night after every pol
ice officer in the ctty and provost
guards from vessels of the Pacific
fleet, now in the harnor. and military
police from Camp Lewis were called
on duty.
The mob consisted of 2,000 sailors
and civilians and it was bent on des
troying the St. Charles hotol. where
three sailors had been stabbed. While
officers guarded the front of the ho
tel, some members of the mob gain
ed entrance through a rear window
and ramsacked two rooms before
they were routed.
Arrest of 120 sailors fiinally
brought quiet.
The trouble started when E. C.
Parkison, James Wyatt and Joe
Cowan, sailors in the navy, went to
the hotel to obtain a room for a
comrade, whom they desired to so
ber up. When told no rooms were
available, a dispute started during
which John Sciotti pulled a stiletto
and a blackjack and quickly stabbed
and beat the three sailors.
Sciotti Is in the city jail charged
with attempted murder. Parkison is
in the ship hospital on the battle
ship New York witn three serious
stabs in his abdomen and Wyatt and
Cowan are recovering from their
painful injuries.

CANADA'S COME-BACK
London, Sapt. 11.—Under the cap-1
(ion. "Canada Leads the World," tho |
Daily Express attributes the rise in
value of the Canadian dollar to a
fraction above that of the American

Steady improvement In Canadian
trade, investment of American capi
tal in Canadian securities, restric
tion of American exports by United
States strikes, together with in
creased imports by the United States
of Canadian materials.
