MANY GERMANS
PUN TO LEAVE
THE FATHERLAND
I
—
BERLIN.—It is expected that sev
eral million Germans will attempt,
as soon as passports are available,
to leave Germany and secure more
lucrative employment abroad.
The newly organized imperial mi
gration bureau denies that a Ger
man commission in the Argentine is
attempting to arrange for the ac
ceptance of 5,000,000 Germans,
which is vastly more than the South
American country could suddenly
assimilate, but says that delegates j
of the new bureau will shortly gro
to the Argentine to protect such j
Germans as do arrive there front
being robbed and deceived.
The bureau says the Argentine is j
friendly to Germans and offers good
chances for skilled labor such as
carpenters, watchmakers, mechanics
and printers.
The Argentine consulate-general
says that a commission has been
sent to the Argentine which will buy
land for the emigrants and institute
farms and schools. He declares that
the Argentine government is willing
to welcome large colonies of Ger
mans, but demands they should ac
cept Argentine citizenship, so that
there will be no danger of creating ■
a state within a state. Precautions j
are to be taken against Bolsheviki.
Emigrants are especially welcome to
the territories of Chaco Misiones,
Chubut, and on government lands.
Twenty to two hundred hectars will
be given free, on condition that they
are not to be sold, and cattle and
machinery will be advanced on cred
it.
DOG OWNERS, NOTICE!
Owing to the scarcity of fish and
the increased cost of other dog
feed, it will be necessary for me to
i advance the monthly rate for feed
ing dogs from $4 to $7. Those hav
ing dogs at my place below Nenana
are hereby notified that I will not
continue to feed dogs at the old rate
after September 10. The dogs must
be either taken away by that date
or left where they are with the un
dersanding that the board there
j after will be at the rate of $7 per
month per dog. XELS STOL.
FAIRBANKS HAS
GIVEN UP PLAN
OFiFOOD SALES
Surplus army supplies will not
be sold in Fairbanks in competition
with the merchants of the upper
.town. The plan is as good as aban
! doned as the result of the receipt
.of a telegram from Surplus Officer
jDevol, addressed to President Fred
| Lewis, of the Fairbanks Pioneers.
The wire states that the supplies
| to be offered for sale in the States
| this month do not include the com
|modities most needed in this coun
try, and the season is now so far
advanced that it is considered
doubtful if the supplies could be
shipped to Interior Alaska before
j the freezeup.
The telegram reads as follows:
: “Relative yours of September 3d,
| the shipment of surplus stores is
iauthorizied by the war department
j providing the stores are available.
I There is no sugar, canned milk, but
jter, lard, or coffee. It wil be nec
jessary for you to pay freight and
the expense incident to the delivery
!of supplies to you. If shipment is
possible, notice will be given * to
jyou, also particulars as to payment.”
I The list of supplies to be placed
'on sale Outside, as published some
i time ago in the columns of The
'Xews, includes canned meats, vegeta
bles and bacon.

“Roosevelt-Peacemaker”
INTERESTING SIDELIGHTS ON LIFE OF GREAT AMERICAN
ARE GIVEN IN ARTICLE BY BIOGRAPHER COMMIS
SIONED TO WRITE THE HISTORY OF THE PERIOD
WHICH COVERED HIS PUBLIC CAREER.
NEW YORK. —1 Joseph Bucklin
Bishop, for 30 years a personal
friend of Colonel Theodore Roose-1
veil, and who, five years before the
former President’s death, was com-,
missioned by him “to write the his-'
tory of the period which covered
his public career,” presents in the
September issue of Scribner’s Mag
azine, the first of a series of papers!
which gives for the first time many
interesting sidelights on the life of
the famous American.
The paper, entitled "Roosevelt— j
Peacemaker,” selected and arranged
from the former President’s public
and private correspondence, amount-1
ing to more than 150,000 letters,
deals with Mr. Roosevelt’s efforts to
end the war between Russia and
Japan and which resulted in the
Portsmouth Peace Conference of
i 1905.
For the first time, apparently, is j
revealed the fact that Japan made
the initial overtures for peace. Four
days after the great Japanese naval
victory over Rojestvensky's fleet in
the sea of Japan, on May 27, 1905,'
the minister of foreign affairs of
Japan, the letters show, cabled Min-^
ister Takahira, at Washington, to!
invoke Roosevelt’s aid as a medi
ator.
“I was amused," wrote the Presi
dent, “by the way in which they;
asked me to invite the two belliger
ents together directly on my own
motion and initiative. It reminded ,
me of the request for contribu
tions sent by campaign committees;
to office-holders, wherein they were i
asked to make a ‘voluntary contri
bution of 10 percent’ of their sal
ary. It showed a certain naivete
on the part of the Japanese.”
According to his biographer, every
step in the negotiations, extending
over a period of three months, was
taken by Mr. Roosevelt without the
aid of any of his most trusted coun
sellors, John Hay. his secretary of
state, being critically ill; Secretary
Root having resigned from the cab
inet many months earlier, and Sec
retary Taft being absent in the
Philippines.
“One reads the thick volumes of
his correspondence with amazement
bordering on incredulity,’’ writes
Mr. Bishop. “It is incredible that
one man could* do so much and so
well. In no other task of his life
was the abnormal energy, mental
and physical, of Theodore Roosevelt
put to a severer test, and from
none did he emerge more triumph
antly. His activity was as tireless
as his resourcefulness was inex
haustible.”
The President's etivity was dr
rected, he said, to “not only steadi
ly and irresistibly forcing the two
warring nations into a conference
* * * but bringing other nations
like England, France, and Germany
to the support of his efforts. If
Russia balked and showed signs of
refusal, he persuaded the kaiser to
bring pressure upon the czar in the
(interest of peace. If Japan showed
'similar signs, England was appealed
to, to bring pressure upon her. In
the end Germany alone really
helped, and Roosevelt gave unstint
ed praise to the kaiser ever after
ward for what he did then.”
In all of this correspondence the
colonel wrote “without restraint or
reservation.” In a confidential let
ter to Secretary Hay he referred
to the kaiser as a monomaniac
and “a jumpy creature who has had
another fit ” In another missive
he thus characterizes the former
emperor of Russia: “The czar is a
preposterous little creature as the
absolute autocrat of 150,000,000
people.”
Every day, and often several
times a day, he urged the emperors
j of Russia and Japan to agree upon
j terms of peace. Once he wrote a
[friend: “The more I see of the
'czar, the kaiser, and the mikado,
jthe better I am content with derr
jocracy, ever, if we have to include
the American newspapers as one of
Jits assets—liability would be a bet
ter term.”
! While the conference was in ses
t
jsion, the President had occasional
doubts of ultimate success. “I have
|led the horses to water," he wrote,
.“but heaven only knows whether
(they will drink or start kicking one
another beside the trough.”
j When victory crowned his efforts,
;however, continued Mr. Bishop, he
was not elated by it. King Edward
of England said of him to the
American ambassador in London:
| “I am simply lost in admiration
|for the President; nobody else could
have done it.” Mr. Roosevelt’s own
:verdict was: “I am overpraised. I
am credited with being extremely
long-headed. As a matter of fact,
I took the position I finally did not
of my own volition, but because
events so shaped themselves that
I wrould have felt as if I was flinch
|ing from a plain duty if I had acted
otherwise.”
