BEFOULING THE AMERICAN
NEST.
There has been said by a partisan
writer ‘ patriotic support is due oniy
to patriotic service," and it seems
that he is impressed with the idea
that he has formulated a striking
epigram in rebuke to one who
pleaded for loyalty to country and
against the dispersal of the nation
al energies in partisan warfare.
Perhaps it is. says the Cincinnati
Enquirer, but not in any general
sense as it is applied to the exist
ing situation Our present troubles
arise from the difference of opinion
as to what constitutes patriotic serv
ice. These differences are numer
ous and varied. Hence the epigram
merely becomes a platitude.
There exists, however, occasion to
rebuke the little Americans whoj
feverishlv clutch from foreign:
i
sources the insults, the deprecia- j
tions and the assaults- upon this |
country and give them approval and
wide publicity, thinking thereby
that they are improving certain
projects of their own devising. For
their benefit and correction there
are two ancient sayings that should
be quoted. The one is: “It is a
dirty bird that befouls its own
nest,” and the other the famous ut
terance of Decatur: "My country,
may she ever be right, hut, right
or wrong, my country!”
Whatever is wrong in American
affairs can be attended to by th?
political parties and their master,
public opinion. When the advice of
aliens is needed, it will be request
ed. Meanwhle loyal citir.ens should
be spared the castigation and abuse
of jaundiced foreigners whose mo
tives are subject to challenge and
whose intentions lack honor. House
keepers in this land have a harsh
way of handling those who "track
mud" upon their clean floors. It is
the remedy that should be applied
to these scandal-mongering politi
cians and doctrinaires who hope to
rise through disparaging their own
people.
IGNORANT AMERICANS.
After visiting various parts of
the United States and lecturing at
several American universities. Ale
jandro Bunge, director general of
statistics in Argentina and one of
the Argentine representatives at the
Pan-American Financial congress,
returned to Buenos Aires, aston
ished that so little is known in the
United States about his country.
The idea is still generally preva
lent among North Americans, he
says, that Argentina is inhabited by
half-breeds, negroes, and Indians.
“Naturally,” he told a reporter
for La Razon, “in banking, indus
trial and commercial circles they
know us as a great and rich coun
try and with a great future. Bui
outside these circles, the generality
of people do not know us. In nt
other way can be explained th:
astonishment that was expressed by
many persons on numerous occa
sions to learn from the Argentim
delegates that the majority of ou
population is of the white race. I
is believed that in these regions th
dominating element is meztizo (mix
ture of Spanish and Indian), and
•.hat there are many negroes and
mulattos.
'Happily, a group of bankers and '
distinguished men have undertaken
the task of making known to their
compatriots through disinterested
propaganda the truth about Argen
tina and the promise of its future.'*
Argentine government statistics •
show that nearly 90 percent of the'
8.000.000 inhabitants of Argentina ‘
are pure Caucasian, a larger pro
portion than exists in the United
States or. it is said, any other j
American republic.
WEAPON OF THE FUTURE.
Mobilization of the mosquito, the
housefly, the louse and various oth- ;
er disease-carrying pests for the dis- ;
semination of deadly germs in ene-1
my territory is a possibility of “the I
next war” pictured by Professor;
Maxwell Lefroy, an English sci- j
entist.
“I foresee the mosquito from j
Brazil starting yellow fever in new !
lands, the housefly, duly infested
with cholera, dysentery or enteric,
and the tvphus-laden louse doing'
their deadly work much more ef
fectively than spies poisoning wells.”
said Professor Lefroy in a recent
address in London.
"This would be part of the work
of a war office of entomologists—
the working out of strategic plans
for the distribution of these pests
by airplane. It seems that the
world is intent upon furnishing an
airplane service for these pests,
many of which are now held some
what in check by natural enemies
in their native climes. This will
give them just the means of transit
they have required. It will be a
peace-time danger as well as one
that could be used very offensively
in war. The danger from these
‘winged battalions of death' is more
serious than one dare estimate.”

FISHERIES COMPANY HAS
MONEY TROUBLE ON COAST
i The Salt Sea Fisheries, a new
concern which recently started busi
ness at Port Wells, is in financial
difficulties owing to its president,
Harold Butterworth, decamping with
$12,000 worth of securities and cash,
isays a report from Valdez. The po
lice have been unable to locate him.
The Salt Sea Fisheries sent up a
boat and crew about two months
ago to prepare for the fishing sea
son, and the vessel and outfit have
been at Valdez for some time wait
ing to hear from the company.
Captain Reynolds, who brought the
Brookdale up from the States, has
been in the hospital the past six
weeks, suffering from a broken knee
cap, and the big launch has been
under the command of Captain
James Klock. A lien has been placed
on the vessel by several Valdez
creditors, but it is understood that
but $2,000 has been paid on the
boat and that title rests in the origi
nal owner.

The new fisheries powerboat Tern,
which was built at Fairbanks dur
ing the winter for Inspector Cal
Townsend, was in port for a brief
time yesterday afternoon, enroute
fiown the river on her maiden voy
age, the destination of the craft be
ing the lower Yukon river, where
the cannery operations soon will be
in progress.
Mr. Townsend was in charge of
the boat, with Charles McGonigal
acting as navigator and Herb Hea
thorn as chief steward. Two ex
perts who were sent to the Interior
country to make a study of the fish
situation resulting from the can
nery operations will be met at Tan
ana and will spend the greater part
of the summer on the river with
Inspector Townsend.
The old fisheries launch was tak
en in tow at Xenana and will be
put in service on the lower river for
side trips, should the need arise.

TRADE WITH SIBERIA
HAS BRIGHT OUTLOOK
A big increase in trade between
Nome and the Siberian coast this
summer is predicted by Seward pen
insula tradesmen who are cognizant
i
of the outlook. This view is based
on the volume of orders already
placed with local and Outside busi
ness houses for Siberian delivery on
the opening of navigation. Accord
ing to E. L. Holt, 100 tons of mer
chandise destined for Siberia will
arrive on the first boat alone.
Last year the value of Nome
shipments to the Siberian coast ran
well into the hundreds of tons, and
would have been greatly exceeded
but for the disarrangement of Out
side boat schedules resulting from
the withdrawal of the steamship Sen
ator from the Xome-Seattle run.
A number of citizens of Nome
have been taking lessons in Russian
so as to be able to converse more
freely with the Russians on the Si
berian side and thereby promote
closer trade relations.
