CHARLIE DAVID
SAVED WHOLE
TRIBE NATIVES
Practically everybody in this sec
tion remembers Charlie David, for
merly connected with the Copper
River railway, and now working for
the Alaskan engineering commission
to the westward. Consequently the
following article from the Anchorage
Times will be of interest to our read
ers :
'Without possible recompense* or
oiiier motive*. Charlie David, up at
Chickaloon, alone* and unassisted,
took hold of the sick native* situation
at that place*. When Charlie* moved
in on tin* job there was one native
who had already crossed the* divide.
In:* the* rest of the* tribe -twenty-four
in number were too sick to boat the
tom-toms and attend to the usual na
tive obs<*(|uie>s; in fact, they were too
far gone* with the* 'fill' to e*ve*n btirv
the late* departed. So this was the*
first job to be* attended to; then there
was a little* job tee attend to in elimi
nating a horde of starving native
dogs; this also fell to Charles N**xt
was a matte r of going flown tn his
own begging camp and completely rob
in.lg it of bedding, except that use-el

and publiei-l. tol I a large audience at

A League of N.ilano. In- : aid. was in

would call tin ' king business." Hut ’
the great power idea would have to!
be exercised if mankind was not to
go down in bloodshed and ruin.
Tin- great power idea, he explained
was that each state was in conflict
with all other states, and it absolutely
opposed the idea of the common wel
fare of man.
"It was only a little more active in
Berlin," he asserted, "than in the other
capitals of Kurope Kvery foreign of
fice, war office and admiralty has been
organized to carry out the great power
dreams.
"Foreign offices are too secretive
and advantage-seeking instruments and
toy antiquated for the difficult task of
dealing fairly with all other nations i
under a League of Nations.
"The Knitcd States is in a different
position. Il is a republic, with a pres j
idem capable of speaking plainly to;
the peoples of the earth in u manner j
which is enough to produce an epi '
demlc of epilepsy in European foreign !
offices."
A League of Nations would have to
substitute, lie said, some sort of cen
tra) control in which diplomacy would j
have to lie pooled and represent the j
whole of mankind. If this was left to
the present foreign oftices to arrange.!
he contended, it would be asking them
to arrange for their own extinction.
"I have always been an advocate
of complete victory," he added. "But
something more than Germany is tin
matter with Europe at the present
time. Bnless the great power system
embodied in present-day foreign of
flees, pursuing secret policies, is de
stroyed, tliis war will not have been
xvorth while."
