REPORT, DON’T THREATEN ’EM
Berlin, Jan. 12.—When a German
has lault to find with the service ren
dered him by some public official, he
must be very careful about threaten
ing to report the delinquent official to
higher officials. That constitutes
threatening an official is punisha
ble under the German laws It ranks
with bribery^ or attempted bribery.
A disgruntled Berliner who did not
like the way a post official carried out
his work threatened to make a report
to the control if the methods were not
changed. This was reported by the
official who objected to the action of
the patron. The lower court held
that the parton had violated the law
and the supreme court of Germany
has sustained the decision.
The court explained to the convict
ed man that he has the right to make
any report he desires to the head of a
department whose service displeases
him. He may also report to the
Reichstag. But he must not tell the
employee with whom he has trouble
that he will make such reports unless
the service is changed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—With the
completion of the Alaska Railroad
rom Anchorage on the coast to Fair
>anks in the interior the Mt. McKin
ey National Park focused the atten
ion of tourist travel, says Secretary
fVork in his annual report.
Several large parties, including the
residential party numbering 70, and
he congressional party numbering 65
came to the very gates of the park,
>ut were unable to enter because of
he lack ot roads and accommoda
ions.
The construction of a road in the
>ark and the extension therefrom of
i good trail across it is the park’s
peatest need. The Road commission
his year spent $2000 in brushing out
i trail across the park, tripoding it at
confusing points, and erecting eight
ents with small stoves at about 10
nile intervals for shelter. Mile posts
vere erected and signs placed at the
irincipal points.
It is said that prospectors are al
owed to kill such game as is needed
or actual use, but game cannot be
tilled and taken from the park, or
told.
