Inquiry.
LONDON, Jan. 22.—The opinion of
the late Walter Hines Page, Ameri
can wartime Ambassador to Great
Britain, is adoiced in tomorrow’s Ref
eree, by Frank Power, author of a
series of “revelations” regarding Lord
Kitchener’s death, as proof of his con
tention that the British government
not only was grossly negligent in
protecting Ketchener when he start
ed in 1916 on his fatal journey to
Russia, but even vras implicated in
causig his death.
Mr. Power’s “revelations,” which
lhave been running several weeks,
have been conspicuous so far rather
by the violence of the language used
and extravagance of the accusations
than by a plausibility of argument
or weight of evidence. In the latest
installment, besides quoting Ambas
sador Page, he declares that “failing
official action of a satisfactory or
ter, I myself will organize a public
inquiry of my own.”

says, will be a ‘^well-known peer
whose name is honored throughout
the Empire,” and other distinguish
ed men.
The British Government, incidental
ly, has already taken action regarding
Mr. Power’s “revelations.” Though
mentioning no names, the First Lord
of the Admiralty, Mr. Bridgeman, last
month repudiated in the House of
Commons allegations concerning gov
ernmental responsibility for Lord Kit
chener’s tragic death.
In tomorrow’s Referee Mr. Power
quotes the following from the recent

sador Page’s letters:
“First one thing and then another
■was taken out of Kitchener’s hands
—ordnance, munitions, war plans.
When he went to Gallipoli some per
sons predicted that he would never
come back. There wks a hot meet
ing of the Cabinet at which he was
asked to go to Russia. He is said
ito have remarked that he was only
going because he had been ordered
to go. There was a hope and feeling
that he might not come back. As 1
make it ouit, there was very little per
sonal sorrow at the loss of Lord Kit
chener.”
Mr. Power cites a formidable array
of witnesses whom he will ask to
appear at his projected inquiry into
the circumstances of Lord Kitchen
er’s death, among them men against
whom he has been indiscriminately
hurling accusations in his “revela
tions” concerning Kitchener’s death
when the warship Hampshire sank
off the Orkney Islands, presumably
hit by a German mine. Among those
who, Mr. Power says, will be asked
to testify are the Commander of the
British Grand War Fleet, staff offi
cers who selected the Hampshire for
the voyage which proved fatal to
Lord Kitchener, officers who failed
to sweep the ship’s course for mines,
officers and men in charge of the
various shore stations at the time of
the tragedy, twelve survivors from
the Hampshire who, Mr. Power claims
were ment'ioiied but were never
named by British naval authorities;
officers and others “hound hy a sol
emn oath not to make public com
munications on the subject of Lord
Kitchener’s death,” and many others
who, according to Mr. Power, know
much more about Lord Kitchener’s
tragic end than has ever been told.

An aged Indian, known to the
whites as Mike Moore, passed away
ait his home in Juneau recently, his
death being due to pneumonia. A bat

mast above his place of residence
in the Indian Village, gave notice of
■his passing. In speaking of the old
Hoonah warrior, Staroller White has
(the following in his Weekly:
Away back in the period when
Alaska was yet a Russian possession,
the Indian now cold in death was a
mighty warrior. Then there was war
between neighboring tribes and clans
—iSitkas and Killisnoos, the Hoonahs
and Chilkats. Mike Moore was a
Honah, and to his people a flag was
a flag and it so happened that the
flag carried by Mike’s clan was that
of England. But it was a flag and
more than once was It carried at the
head of the advancing army of Hoon

Favor Dealers Who Will Favor You
Spot cash trading is ot course the oest
policy of purchasing. There are, however, times when
even those well heeled financially must resort to “credit”
buying. You may see the time when it will not be convenient for
you to “come across” with the cash. And when that time comes
the local merchant is the only one who will “accommodate” you. The mail
order house would turn you down cold. They want your business only when
they have your money in hand.
Unless you trade with home dealers when you have the
ready cash—don't ask for a “credit lift” in a pinch. It’s not just. It’s
net even common decency to expect your home town dealer to bear
the burden of your bills—when you refuse to do business with him when you
can do it on a spot cash basis.
By every reason of right your local merchants are entitled
to your patronage—every penny of it. They cater to your best inter
ests with the best brands of merchandise. Their quality standards are the
highest. Their lines are fresh—clean—right up to date in every particular.
Their prices mark the extreme limit of economical buying. They deal fairly.
Every dollar you spend with them buys actual value. None of it goes for ex
orbitant mail order expenses—costly catalogues—high salaried office workers. They don’t
attempt to lead you on with merchandising “lures”—with low prices on one or a few articles—
then high prices on all other goods.
They want your business. They will do everything within
their means to earn your patronage. They must handle your account
with care. They can’t stand to lose trade—because their field is limited.
Even if they were inclined {which they are not) to employ underhanded methods, they couldn’t
afford to—because it would kill them commercially.
Turn trade to the dealer who in turn will treat you right. Put your con*
fidence in merchants who have confidence in you.
