UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER
The very best answer that the
United Stales van make to the peace
parley ol the Hermans, and In fact all
of the Teuton nations, for that mat
ter, is to oversubscribe (lie present
$ti,turn,mm,ope Fourth Liberty loan and
to call several million additional men
to tin- colors This for tin; reason
that such an answer is bound to make
a sharper impression on the square
heads titan any amount ol iong-dis
lance conversation. Let the allies
also continue to drive the Huns back
on all fronts and thus demonstrate te
the enemy that the war will lie fought
to a finish in Hermany unless tin
Teutons are willing to make an tin
eoiiditional surrender.
ITcsideiit Wilson lias stated livt
principles upon which this country
will consent to confer for peat e, prin
i ipies sound and consistent with all
tin- highest hh als of Americanism. He
is in tavoi ol the league of nations
alter the war. This league will be
formed al the peace conference and
will lie the means of dealing impar
tial Justice to all nations for ail time.
It will lie tlte best method available
tor insuring a permanent peace.
The President's live principles are
as follows:
'there must lie impartial justice to
all nations, without any discrimina
lion between them
No special interest of any nation or
group of nations can lie the basis of
any settlement or part settlement it
not consistent with the common in
terest of all nations.
There can lie no league, alliance or
special understandings within the gen
of nations.
There ran tie no selfish economic
combinations within the league nor
the use of any boycott except as a
means of discipline.
All international agreements and
treaties must be made known to the
rest of the world.
These terms are detinite and un
equivocal. There can lie no question
as to what the United States will con
sider when it comes to peace terms.
They are sound principles upon
which the future peace of the world
may safely be founded.
They are based on the fundamental
idea of a league of nations after tho
war. With the co-ordination that tills
would procure, the live terms are
bound to bring about a condition that
will do much to destroy a possibility
of future wars.
And after the establishment of this
le. gue the I’resident gives his five
principles which shall govern the ac
tions of the league.
There shall lie no injustice done to
any nation or group of nations. The
first condition is the keynote of the
whole peace proposition which the ad
ministration will stick for against all
opposition. It is fundamental accord
ing to the ideals of the American peo
ple This will safeguard tho small
nation which has been crushed In the
war. This will safeguard the rights
of the nations which have been di
vided and ground down ttnde.r the
heel of the oppressor for generations.
In plain English, it is simply the
American doctrine of "fair play" ap
plied to international negotiations.
The second principle is really a cor
ollary of the first, for it is based di
rectly upon it. No special interest of
any nation or group of nations shall
form the basis for a peace settlement
or partial settlement, unless it is thor
oughly (insistent and to the common
interest of all the nations. This
makes sure that there shall be no dis
crimination between any of tho na
tions which take part in the peace
conference. For instance, Itussia ha:
long desired a permanent outlet t<
the Mediterranean. Those desirei
will not be allowed to work to tin
disadvantages of the small countriei
which are situated In the Baikal
peninsula. Other nations might lik*
i this or that, but these wishes can no
be granted by the league of nation:
unless it is for the benefit of all. Thi:
second principle simply guarantee:
that no nation shall suffer because o
the desires of a bigger and perhapi
more powerful nation.
The third principle is to guart
against any connivance within thi
. league itself. In other words, thi
peace conference must not lie ■.
frame-up. There shall he no com
tuning interests in the league in or
dor to get a majority of power ant
thus put through measures whicl
would be unjust and unfair.
The fourth principle treats tht
question of boycott This has been t
j much-discussed problem and has beet
I advocated as a means of keeping tier
many in bounds after the war. Bu
President Wilson says there shall hi
no economic combinations within tht
league anti that boycott shall not lit
used except as a disciplinary ineas
tire. A boycott of all German-made
goods has been advocated. The I’resl
dent does not definitely state that nt
such measures should he taken, bu
says that they should be regulated.
And last but not least in this re
markable set of rules of conduct foi
! the future peace league is that con
| cerning treaties and agreements. Tin
President says that all Internationa
| agreements and treaties shall he mndi
! known to the rest of the world. Thli
| will make possible all the other terms
! for there can he no secret agreement!
or combinations that will work foi
the good of one or two nations at th<
expense of the others
Take it all In all. the gist of tin
President's five principles for the es
tahlishment of peace is justice; jus
tice and liberty for all nations for al
time, without discrimination, motet
out by a league of all nations for al
nations. And such is what makes ou
country what it is today, the ideals o
justice and liberty for which our fore
fathers sited their blood innuntorabli
limes, and for which our sons am
brothers are now giving their lives.
America will be known in liistor;
as the savior of the world and of tin
ideals of the world.

VALDEZ CREEK
MINES ARE TO
BE PRODUCERS
Deputy United States Marshal A. ('
Dowling has returned alT'r an ex
tended business trip to the Interior
Among I he places visited during tin
trip was tlm Valdez Creek place
mines, and the marshal, who is an old
timer in tho country, and who hui
seen and been connected with mail)
mining out (its, expressed his opinim
that the proposition was hound even
tually to be successful
Unfortunately the company was tin
avoidably delayed in getting Its outti
on tho ground during the early spring
and not only was considerable time
lost, but part of the outfit was de
stroyed in the overflows of (iulkanti
river, which is one of the worst
streams in the country to travel or
daring the break-up, which this yeat
occurred earlier titan usual.
The marshal says that the etpiip
ment which this company has on th<
ground is one of the iinost in the ter
ritory. and he gained the impressior
that with a small expenditure ol
money to provide some needet
changes the mine would soon become
a highly successful producer
in going out the party had diffl
culiy in keeping to the trail, owing tc
a heavy snowstorm which overt obit
them on the Clearwater divide. It
snowed steadily for thirty-six hours
l and tin- marshal and party had to fol
* low in tho wake of "Hirde," r.n old
trail mare of Meiers’, who knew ever)
foot of the country.
With the exception of a small
hunch of caribou and one brown hear
the party did not see any game on the
trip. The caribou were too far away
to reach and the bear was too near
so they did not molost either.—Valdez
Miner.
