" America For Americans"
AN OKU AX REIITAi FOR
KKTCH1KAN
It is evident from the tone of
the following editorai taken from
■j recent issue of the Ketchikan Pro
uressiev-Miner that the home of
that paper is soon to have a great
"organ" recital, and it would ap
pear that there is *o be a quartet
of "organs'" there which will adi
much interest to the first town in
Alaska. Here it fs:
"They are all welcome. From
fairly reliaole sources, we have
learned that within a short space
of time; thrfee, and possibly four
newspapers will be competing for
rhe business of the town. But whik
this is more than the average num
ber o' newspapers found in any
lointnunity in the country the size
•f Ketchikan; we frankly admit thoi
there Is room for a'l. and more; be
cause the population of the town is
made tip of people with big hearts
and are always ready to share witl
their fellow-men. In the first place,
there is plenty of elbow room and
plenty of sunshine. As a matter of
fact, enough for the world, so far
as that goes. As to the rain, a*
little as we get. the people are
so big hearted that we are sure
they are willing to share in that al
so—and -so are we. Then why
shouldn't they all be welcome?"
GERMANY'S BROKE* WORD
It is said that the tbe Canadian
'orces in France have long1 since
quit making- prisoners of their en*
einy. They shoot them down. This
is said to be tts reprisals' for atroci
ties perpetrated on the Canadians
by the Germans. Unprintable treat*
ments were accorded Canadians.
This in the face of the supposed sa
cred agreements entered into at
the Hague in 1907. In that year
:u a conference. Germany agreed
to certain definite rules of war. A*
mong them were these:
"No employment of deleterious
jiases. No bombardment of unforti
fied towns. No trillaging. No levy
ing of illegal contribution in oc
cupied territory. No seizure of
funds belonging to private per
sons. No collective penalties for
individual acts (prohibiting shoot
ing of hostages). No terrorization
of a country by outrages on its
civil inhabitants."
Eyery one of these provisions has
been deliberately violated by the
(-.mans, violated as deliberately as
tii© neutrality of Belgium was vio
lated . Can we wonder that the
Canadians have labeled. thein
"Obliteration?"'
Lieutenant McCarier. who enlist
ed from Yukon for service over
seas in the fall of 1915, arrived ^P
on the Prince Rupert this morning
enroute to Dawson where ho will
visit for some time. He has been
stationed on the northwest
coast of France almost the entire •
time that he has been over there.
11 UNLUCKY "SECONDS."
- Fat* Bears Hard Upon Monarcha With
II. In Their Titlaa.
! Art the numerals "11." unlucky whan
thejr fallow the name of a monarch? It
' would team to,
I Of tib» four living European rulers
. and ax-rulers so characterised two, the
Csar Nicholas II. of Russia and Stfltan
. Abdui Hamid II. of Turk*?, axa de
. posed and prisoners. The third, King
Manual II. of Portugal, has been de
prived of his throne by his people,
while the fourth, the Kaiser WUhelm
II. of Germany, has more than a gen
eroua share of troubles of his own.
History, too, curiously enough, tells
the same story. Alexander IL of Bus
sla was blown to bits by nfhfltrt bombe
in 1881. Louis II. of Bavaria was
drowned In 1888. Charles 1L of France
was strangled. James IL at Scotland
waa killed In battle. Xapoleo* II, hav
ing lost his throne, died In exile.
Among British monarchs Harold XL,
the last of the Saxon kings, fell at
Hastings. Edward IL was cnMOy
murdered in prison at the tnsflgarino
of his own wife, and a «tmPar fate like
wise overtook Blchard IL Huiiara IL
was murdered. James IL lost his ktng
' dom and his down at the battle of the
Boyne. His brother, Charles II, killed
himself by his debaucheries.
The above are but sample Instances,
culled at haphazard from history. There
are many others.—London Telegraph.

THE LOST TRIBES.
A Mystery of'the Hebrew Peopls That
Hu Defied Solution.
The "lost tribes"—or at le&it part oi
them— remain, u mystery to this day.
A portion of the Hebrew people—the
tribes of Judab ami Benjamin—return
ed from exile and became the ances
tor* of the Jewish people. The story
of their return la recorded In the books
of Ezra and Nehenrlah.
Others, probably some of them be
longing to tbe miming tribes of the
northern kingdom, are believed to have
returned from still remoter laods and
mixed with the Jews In Palestine
again (see Luke it 30), whila a few at
least probably mingled with the mixed
population with wtilch the king of As
syria colocdred Samarta and who be
came the amcesDocs of the Samaritans.
Many, hcwver, remained in the Assy
rian empire and lived In colonies
throughout the east
Various writers haw# claimed that
traces of them had been .found among
the Afghwns and also among the Tar
Cars, the Nestorlans and In India and
Africa, hot these are rather specula
tive Ideas than substantial errldance.
JosephuB, the Jewish historian, wrote
that the habitable globe was so full of
Jews that there was scarcely a corner
of the great Roman ^world empire
where they might not be found.—

Is a question that has often been
asked. Who first suggested the Idea?

The disposition of the average bald
headed man is to show such solicitude
for the welfare of others, that he neg
