THE SPIRIT OF THE NORTH.
The spirit of the North has again
been exemplified, says the Valdez
Miner. In a Southeastern Alaskan
town, recently, a family lost their i
home and all they possessed by fire.!
They were without even the or- j
dinary habiliments of everyday at
tire The citizens of the town quick
ly subscribed $700 for the unfortu
nates and installed them in a new
home.
And this is but one of the many;
instances occurring nearly every'
week in the Northland. It mattersj
not the race or creed of the un-j
fortunate. The hand of good-fel- j
lowship is extended and help af-'
forded to all who need it.
In no other country in the world
!
can one find so many whole-hearted,
sympathetic persons. The latch-j
string is always out- The full purse !
is always extended. The flour bar 1
rel is scraped for the needy. The;
last pound of bacon or smoked fish’
is given as freely and as cheerfully
as if the owner possessed the mill
ions of the t late Henry Prick.
And the sourdough wouid have it
no other way. The man who turns j
a deaf ear to the unfortunate and '■
lefuses succor to the distressed has
no place in the Northland. The
man - who prizes his dollars more
than his neighbors’ good will is a
poor trailmate.
Until civilization shifts its cen
ter and the North is overrun with
the greedy money-grabbers of the
States. Alaska will stand pre-emi
nent ar.d alone in her splendid gen
erosity to the needy.
SLOW RECOVERY
Bosnia may be a lone time re
covring from the effects of the
war. according to press reports from
Sarajevo. Factory production is al
most at a standstill, railroad trans
port is irregular and uncertain.
Ftores are bare of stocks, imports
are much reduced, clothing and food
are high in price, and there is much
idleness among the people. The
crops last fall, however, were
abundant and there is sufficient food
to meet all needs.
The German and Hungarian sign~
which formerly appeared above the
store windows have given place to
placards in Serbia and Sarajevo has
taken on quite the appearance of a
Serbian town. The Serbian inhab
itants are, of course, quite content
with the Belgrade government, but
the Germans. Austrians, and Turks
are not quite so happy. There is
a disposition, however, to accept
conditions as they are and to hope
for a resumption of the commercial
activity and advantages which the
people enjoyed at the hands of the
Austrians. The friends of the Serbs
and Jugo-Slavs hope that with time
the Serbian government will be able
to match the prosperity and progress
which the Austrians and Germans
brought to the country.
Among the population America
enjoys great prestige and respect.
This is largely due to the timely
help brought to the country by the
American Red Cross and the United
States food administration. Until
the arrival of these relief agencies,
Americans had never before ap
peared in Bosnia in any considera
ble number. The presence of the
officers of the Red Cross and the
food administration has had a spler.
i
did moral and educational effect
among the Bosnians. Much of the
rancor and harsh feeling engen- ■
dered by the war has been re- j
moved, and through the work of
these Americans the larger part of i
the people now look upon the United '
States as a friend, not as a foe.
REDS IN HOLLAND.
____
Hundreds of men and women of
all nationalities, considered unde
sirable, but accorded refuge and!
hospitality by The Netherlands, are
stili confined behind barbed-wire
fences in the big war internment j
camp at Harderwijk, says a corre-1
spondent of The Associated Press.
Many of them are war refugees, \
escaped from Germany or Belgium,
and to their number, since the war.
have been added several scores of
Russians, of Bolshevik tendencies,
whom the government ha« confined
there for safe-keeping.
The Russians have been particu
larly troublesome, but the means
taken by one of the Dutch military
officers :n charge of the camp to
control the:r actions are reported
in the Dutch press to have been so
severe that recently a number of
Dutch soldiers arc said to have mu
tinied rather than obey the orders.
A JAPANESE VIEW
Anti-Japanese agitation i>. says
the Tokio Xichi-Xichi, a calendar
event in the United States, and it
is not astonishing- that there should,
at this time, be a revival of it in
the Pacific states. It is high tipi-,
says the paper, to appeal to thought
ful Americans when legislative bills
and resolutions directed against
Japanese and resulting from such
agitations are proposed; and these
go the length of impairing the
good name of the Japanese empire
Former Senator Theodore E. Bur
ton of Ohio, now staying in Tokio.
is quoted as saying the agitation is
engineered for purposes of Ameri
can domestic politics, and has noth
ing to do with racial prejudices.
The Xichi-Xichi disagrees with Mr.
Burton and expresses the belief
that racial prejudice plays an im
portant part in these agitations, with
the danger of imperiling the friend
ly relations between Japan and the
United States.
Discussing the Japanese-American
relations, the Yorodzu says that
when the United States entered the
war in 1917. the Japanese in Am
erica gave their most hearty sup
port to the American cause, and
even the Pacific states became pro
Japanese, all their former anti-Jap
anese agitation being completely
shelved for the time.
i
But from about the time when
The armistice was signed, and espe
cially after the introduction of the
, racial equality proposition at the
Paris conference by Japan, the pen
jdulum again began to swing back
Avard and once more anti-Japanese
movements, in the form of legisla
tive and other measures, are now
“rife throughout California and
other Western states.
“In short,” says the paper, “the
United States is now seized with
Japanophobia. This," says the jour
nal. “is a shame to American in
telligence.”

WASHINGTON. D. C.—Continued j
prosperity in Hawaii is noted in the !
annual report of Governor C. J. j
McCarthy, which was made public j
recently Exports of all kinds, in- *
eluding sugar and other foodstuffs,'
were valued at $83,343,648. whiie I
imports were $10,922,921, a de- i
crease of $955,407 compared with i
the year before.
Enforcement of the prohibition j
act has resulted in a marked de- j
crease in crime. Governor McCar
thy said, but “there is a large
quantity of illicit liquor manufac
tured, and the Federal authorities j
are endeavoring to stamp out this j
traffic.” Utilization of stills made J
of galvanized iron has poisoned the j
liquor in some cases, the report j
stated. Jail -entences instead of,
money fines were suggested as a
check on the traffic.
Seventy-nine corporations, includ- i
ing mercantile, agricultural, bank- 1
ing and savings and loan concerns, J
were incorporated during the year, j
Twenty-six banks are in operation!
in the islands. Their total deposits j
are $35,349,134.
Additional appropriations to im-j
prove the harbors are reeded, the j
report said, so as to provide ade- j
quate facilities for the increasing j
number of transpacific liners stop-:
ping at the islands. Concrete piers, 1
varying from 600 to 950 feet long, i
are under construction by the Unit
ed States engineer service, and the
necessary shops for making repairs
to vessels have been provided.
MANY AMERICAN
PARENTS VISIT GRAVES
OF SOLDIER SONS
PARIS. — The first hotel in ,
France, reserved exclusively fori
American fathers and mothers who
have crossed the ocean to visit the
graves of their dead, will be opened i
a: Romagne, where is located the
largest American military cemetery 1
in Prance. Here sleep more than !
I
21,oU0 American boys who laid !
down their lives in the war.
Now that passport regulations are :
being lifted, many American par-1
ents are coming to Prance every'
day to visit the graves of the Am
erican soldiers. Some mothers come
alone, and not knowing French cus
toms and language, suffer many dis
comforts finding the way to their
boys’ graves. Many wish to remain
a day or two at the cemeteries,
which are some distance from the
nearest towns, but until now there
have been no accommodations.
Similar hotels will be established
later at other American cemeteries.
The second one probably will be
placed at St. Quehtin.
jAfter Romagne, the next largest
cemetery is the one at Thiacourl.
with 4.200 graves. Among the oth
er large American cemeteries are:
Beaumont, 750 graves; Fismes, 1,
800 graves; Ploisy, 1,885 graves;
Juvigny, 416 graves; Fera-en-Tar
denois. 3,500 graves; Belleau. 2,500
graves: Bony, 1,800 graves, and
Villiers-Toumelle, 400 graves.
