WHY GERMANY LAID DOWN HER
ARMS IN 1918.
“Wo laid down our arms because j
army headquarters urgently asked it
to avoid catastrophe ,and only then we
till led for President Wilson’s help in
connection with his fourteen points,”
paid Count von BernstorfF, formerly
ambassador for the German govern
ment at Washington, in defending the!
late president against almost univer
sal charges by the Germans of betray
al of Germany . BernstorfF declared j
further that the charge is a “falsifica
tion of history,” as everyone knows
who was present at the negotiations.”:
This is the first time any German of
prominence who was identified with
the old war regime has publicly con-1
fessed that Germany was beaten; com
pletely beaten when it laid down its j
arms. It is a frank confession cor
rect in every particular, and possib- '
ly it will be ogod fo rthe German soul
it it is accepted by any considerable '
body of German opinion. The very
suggestion that the war lords threw
up the sponge or that the German
people—who were not so different l
from the ruling class in their mental
attitude toward the war as they were
represented to be—yielded because of <
the famous fourteen points, is prepos- :
terous. The Germans primarily hoist- 1
ed the white flag because of a military'
collapse and to prevent their own coun
try from being cverrun as they had
overrun Belgium and France, and then
the fourteen points were seized upon
in hope of softening their defeat.

yore are gone but fortunately we still 1

SHOE WHEN DESERTED
Abandoned on the trail by a band
:if Kochrine Indians, Sam Brooks, a
native boy in a tubercular condition,
committed suicide by cutting his
throat with a knife, according to word
received by the Anchorage Daily Al
askan from the Interior. The tragedy
secured February 18, about thirty or
nore miles south of Kochrines on the
ower Yukon. The young man was
>etween the ages of twenty-five and
twenty-eight and had been a reindeer
lerder at one time.
Tha Kochrines have always carried
he reputation of being vicious, and re
gardless of missionary work done in
their section, they still retain many
if the former customs, of which the
nanner of the young Indian’s death
vas one. Official inquiry is being made
nto the case in an effort to place the
guilt and mete out proper punishment.

A native known as “Jimmie the
Tough/’ according to the Pioneer
Scout, states that in an igloo quite a
distance from Council, three Eskimos
were engaged in a poker game, mak
ing the sky the limit, and playing for
large stakes, through some quarrel,
supposedly brought about through the
players having imbibed too freely in
moonshine, two of the natives began
fighting with knives, the third native
standing by watching the fighting. Af
ter the fighter had been engaged for
some time they both, approximately at
the same time, succeeded in stabbing
each other and fell dead. At the
sight of his dead companions lying on
the floor, and the money scattered in
all directions, the third native became
frightened and running into the snow
a short distance away from the cabin
shot himself through the heart. The
names of the natives were not learned.
