C. RAINE
STORY OF
IN ALASKA
Art League Members Delighted
With Treasury Dept. -Official's
Lecture.
Alaska, the wonderland, and
Alaska the land of opportunity, was
set vividly before the members of the
Bridgeport Art league yesterday after
noon in the splendidly interested lec
ture on that country by Edgar C.
Raine. More than 13,000 miles of
great productive country, of majectic
mountains and glistening ' glaciers,
across the Bering Straits into weird
Siberia and back again were traversed
in the short course of an hour and a
quarter. Two hundred exquisitely
colored slides illustrated the talk. A
pioneer in the land when it first catne
into world's importance with the dis
covery of gold there 20 years ago, and
who has eeen several towns which he
helped lay out with a tape measure,
grow into thriving cities, there is per
haps no one more intimately acquaint
ed with Alaska than Mr. Raine. As a
representative of the Treasury De
nartment of the United States, Mr.
Raine is required t6 visit every set
j tlement in Alaska once a year and he
i is the only man who makes such an
annual trip.
He is a short, wiry man who is ac
customed to run between 35 and 40
miles a day behind his team of 11
dogs, from settlement to settlement in
Alaska, j
In his-' lecture, every point of which
j is l-Vrstrated, Mr. waine .tens . oi
Juneau, 20 years ago a settlement of
log cabins andj tents, and today -an
Alaskan metropolis with steam-heated
sidewalks which melt the snow as it
falls upon them: He . showed the
Lynn canal, termed the "most ma
jestic, canal in the world," and. Chili
kot Pass, the .terror of so many pion
eers but nowj comfortably traversed
in a railway trip that "is worth going
1,000 miles to see." The Northern
Lights are thrown upon the screen
and then, the Midnight Sun. During
the summer basebajll games in Alaska
begin at llo'clock at night and con
tinue sometimes , until noon of the
next day. Mr. Raine- said the vege
tables in Alaska are .the largest and
most luscious that he has seen. This
he attributes to the fact that when
the sun comes out in summer it con
tinues to shine day and night.
! A number of ' pictures showed the
seal raining in the 'Aleutian Islands.
When , tl.e'se animals are ready for
market, they are killed with clubs
made in New London, Conn.
? The customs of the Eskimo and the
Indian of that country were' explain
ed. ' In Siberia 52 miles from Alaska,
pictures were shown of a feast which
the natives ' hold when they put their
old and useless people to death. The
victim agrees to the killing. He in
vites allhis relatives, and friends to
a feast and when the eating is con
cluded in the presence of. the whole
company, : who have heen seated
around as tpr ' some pleasant enter
tainment, . one of , the ; nearest male
relatives steps forward and kills him.
Another queer custom in that country
is that when a person becomes ill,
his friends send him a coffin. . Mr.
Raine says that he knows one woman
therewho has received five coffins.
The several hundred " members of
the Art League so thoroughly enjoy
ed the lecture that it was no sooner
concluded than they began making
plans to have Mr, Raine return next
year and tell them more' about the
great territory of Alaska.
. ' Power of a River.
, There are more spindles turned in
the mills of Lawrence by the power
of the Merrimac river than are turned
by any other river in any other city
4n the world. Four hundred acres of
mills, employing 40,000 hands, put out

U-BOAT WARFARE
(Continued from Page One)
where where neutral peoples live and
that It will especially be understood
toy the great people of the United
Qtates, whose most illustrious repre
sentative has during the war defend
ed with flaming words the freedom of
the seas as the highway of all na
tions. "If the people and government of
the United States keep in mind that
the blockade proclaimed by Great
Britain is hot only meant to wear
down the Central Powers by starva
tion, but aims at subjecting the seas
to her rule, without establishing in
this manner her tyranny over all na
tions, while on the other hand the
blockade of England and her allies
only serves to make these powers in
cline toward peace with honor and a
guarantee to all nations of the free
dom of sea traffic and sea commerce
and thereby a secured existence, then
the question which of the two parties
has the right on its side is already de
cided. Thought the Central Pnwpva
have no desire in this war to beg for
allies, they yet believe that they will
be entitled to. look to neutrals to ap
preciate their efforts to revise in the
interest of all the principals of inter
national law and equal rights of na
tions. "In replying now to the
in the American note of .b. itf
Austro-Hungurian government firstly
ra"arKS tnat m the exchange of notes
referring to the cases of the Ancona
and the Persia- it restricted itself to
defining its attitude to concrete ques
tions wmcn individually arose, with
out laying down its fundamental leg
al conception. But in its note of rrt
19, 1915, referring to the An
it reserved to itself the right to brine-
up for discussion at a later date diffi
cult international questions which
arise in connection with submarine
warfare. If it now refers to this res
ervation and now briefly discusses the
question of sinking enemy vessels, to
which that note refers, it is guided by
the desiro to show the American gov
ernment that it now, as heretofore,
strictly adheres to the assurance al
ready given and endeavors by clearing
up mat important tiuestion arising
from submarine warfare, -hwaneo i
touched the laws of humanity to avoid
misunderstandings between the mon
archy and the American union.
"Above all, the Austro-IIungarian
government desires to emphasize that
it is also its opinion that the thesis
set up up the American government,
which also is reported in various
learned records.that enemy merchant
men, apart from cases of attempted
flight and resistance, may not be de
stroyed without precautions being tak
en for the safety of the persons aboard
forms, so to say, the kernel of the
whole subjec. Regarded from a
higher standpoint, this thesis can of
course be ranked in a further sugges
tive connection,' and from that view its
domain of application can be marked
out more exactly.
"From the laws of (humanity which
the. Austro-Hungarian governrr-nt
and the Washington cabinet take in
the same manner as judging the lines,
the more general principle can be de
rived that when executing the right
of destroying enemy merchantmen the
loss of human life should as far as
possible be avoided. To this princi
ple the belligerent can only do justice
by issuing' warning before exercising
the right. Then on he, can choose the
Way which the aforementioned thesis
of the American government indicates,
according to which the commander of
the war vessel himself gives warning
so that the crew an passengers could
bring themselves into safety in the
last moment or the government of bel
ligerent states can, If this is recognized
as an inevitable necessity of war. Issue
warning of full effect also before the
departure "of the vessel which is to be
sunk; or, finally, it can, if it estab
lishes extensixe measures against ..en
emy sea trade, employ a general warn
ing for all enemy vessels in question.
"That the principle according to
which, care must be taken for the
safety of the persons aboard under
goes exceptions the American gov
ernment itself recognized . But the
Austro-Hungarlan government be
lieves that destruction without warn
ing is admissible not only when a ves
sel flees or offers resistance. It ap
pears to mention only one example
that, the character of the vessel it
self also must be taken into considera
tion. Merchantmen or other private
vessels which carry -military garrison
or arms aboard , in order to commit
hostile acts of any kind may, accord
ing to valid right, be destroyed with
out hesitation. , " '
"The Austro-Hungarian govern
ment need not call attention to the
fact that the belligerent is released
of all consideration for human life
If his opponents sink enemy mer
chantmen without previous warning,
as happened with the vessels Electra
(German), . DuBrovriik (Austrian),
Zagreb (Austrian), etc., which al
ready has been repeatedly censored.
And in this respect ' the Austro-Hungarian
government never returned
like for like, notwithstanding its un
contested right. In the course of the
entire -jvar . Austro-Hungarian war
vessels. have not sunk on an enemy
merchantman without previous, if
only general warning.
"The repeatedly, mentioned thesis of i
the United States government also al
lows various interpretations, insofar,
namely, as it is doubtful whether, as
it is asserted from various sides, only
armed resistance ju stifles the destruc
tion of a vessel with persons aboard,
or resistance of another kin3'; as is
shown if the crew intentionally
neglects to take the passengers into
boats the Ancona case or if the pas
seugers themselves refuse to enter
boats. According to the opinion of the
jVustro-Hungarian government, the
destruction of a warned vessiel without
rescuing the (persons aboard is- admis
sible in oases of the latter kind, be
cause otherwise it would be left to the
individual passengers to nullify the
right of belligerents to sink vessels.
"Moreover, it may be pointei out
also that there is no unanimity as re
gards in what cases the sinking of
neutral raerehantmen at all is admis
sible. The obligation to issue a warn
ing immediately before sinking ves
sels leads, according to the opinion of
the Austro-Humgarian government, on
the one hand to harshness which could
be avoided, on the' other hand it - is
under circumstances calculated to in
jure the Justified interests of belliger
ents. In the first place it must not be
overlooked that-the' rescue of persons
is almost always left to mere chance,

them aboard war vessels which are
exposed to any enemy influence, or to
extpose them in small boats . to the
dangers of the elements; so that it,
therefore, corresponds much better .to
the principles' of humanity to prevent
persons, by timely warning, rrom
using endan'gered. vessels. '
"Furt'hermare, notwithstanding care
ful examination of all legal questions
referring thereto, the Austro-Hunga-
rian government could not come to. the J
conviction that subjects of , neutral
states are entitled to travel unmolest
ed on enemy vessels.
"The principle that neutrals in war
time also should enjoy the advantages
of freedom of the seas only to neu
tral vessels, not to neutral persons on
board enemy vessels, because belliger
ents as is well known, are entitled to
prevent, the enemy's sea traffic as far
as they are able. Being in possession
of the necessary' war means and con
sidering it necessary for the attain
ment of their war aims, they can pro
hibit sea traffic of enemy merchant
men on pain of their destruction, pro
vided they have previously announced
this to be their intention, so that every
one, whether enemy or neutral, may
be enabled to avoid endangering life.
Even if doubts should arise regarding
the justiflableness of such, procedure
and if the enemy should threaten re
prisals,' then this would be an affair
for settlement between , the belliger
ents only, who, as generally 'recog
nize, are entitled to make the high
seas the scene of military operations
and to oppose . any Interference with
their enterprises and to decide for
themselves what measures should be
taken against enemy sea 'traffic. .
, "In such cases neutrals have : no
other legitimate interest i and there
fore no other legal claim, than that
the (belligerent information in time of
prohibitions directed toward ' the
enemy that they can avoid trusting
their lives and their goods to enemy
vessels.
' "The Austro-Hungarian government
can suppose that the Washington cab-
inet will agree , with these explana
tions, which, according to the Austro
Hungarian government's firm convic
tion, are unassailable, as . otherwise,
disputing their correctness would
doubtless be tantamount to saying
which certainly does not correspond
to the opinion of the United States
that neutrals must be ''f ree to inter
fere with military operations of bel
ligerents or even directly" assume the
office of Judging as to the war means
which are to be employed against ene
mies. .'
"It appears that it also would be
a flagrant misunderstanding if a neu-
tral government , only to enable its
subjects to travel on enemy vessels
while they as readily and even with
far greater security could use neutral
vessels, should fall to arms with a
belligerent power which perhaps was
fighting for its existence, not to speak
of the most serious abuses for which
the road would be left clear if the bel
ligerent were to be forced to lower
arms before every neutral who desired
to use an enemy vessel for his busi
ness or pleasure trips.
"NeVer was there the slightest doubt
that neutral subjects themselves have
to bear all the losses which they suf
fer by entering on land territory
Svhere warlike operations are taking
place. There obviously Is no reason
to allow different principles for war
pn sea, the more so as at the second
peace conference the wish was ex
pressed that, until the time when wai
on sea should have found a settlement
by agreements, the law, in force for
war on land, should be employed, as
far as this was possible, also. for war
on sea.
"In the spirit of what wri.s previous
ly paid, the regulation that warning
must be given to a ship which is to
be sunk undergoes exceptions of vari
ous kinds, under ,.. certain circum
stances, as, for instance, as 'mentioned
by the Amrrican government, in case

may-r be destroyed without warning;
while in other cases warning before
the departure of a vessel is necessary.
The Austro-Hungarian government
nan therefore state that it, a,s especial
ly regards protection of neutrals
against endangering their lives, is es
sentiality in accord with the American
government. But it was not oniy sat
isfied to put into effect in the course
of this war the conception represented
by her, but beyond that it . also ac
commodated its attitude with painful
care to the thesis set up by the Wash
ington cabinet, and would f eel inclined
to support it in its endeavor to secure
American citizens against dangers at
sea; which, endeavor . it supports by
the warmest philanthrophy and by in
structing and warning those entrusted
with it.
"s regards - circular note 10,602 or
last year regarding the treatment of
armed enemy merchantmen, the Austro-Hungarian
government, it is true,
is of the opinion that the arming or
merchantmen, even solely for defense
against the exercise of the right of
capture, is not establishei by modern
international law. A war vesei
obliged to come into contact wixn en
emy ? merchmantmen in a peaceful
mariner. It (has to waylay the vessel
by certain signals, to enter into com
munication with the captain, to ex
amine the ship's papers, ' draw up a
protocol and, if necessary, take an in
ventory, etc. Fulfilment of these du
ties presupposes naturally that the
war vessel has full certainty that the
merchantman, on its part, also, will act
peacefully. Without doubt such cer
tainty does not exist if the merchant
man possesses armament which is suf -r
fiVtent to ftelht the war vessel. It cap
hardly be expected to discharge its
duties under the muzzle or guns,
whatever their purpose may be; with
out mentioning the fact that mer
chantmen of the Entente powers, de
spite all assurances to the contrary,
areas have been proved been pro
vided with arms for a definite purpose
and use them for this purpose.
"It would be a mlsinterpretatoon of
the duties of humanity to demand that
crews of war vessels expose them
selves without defense to arms of the
enemy. No state could value its du
ties of humanity toward the legal de
fenders of ,the fatherland less than its
duties towards subjects of foreign
powers. The Austro-Hungarian gov
ernment, therefore, could have stated
from conviction that its promise made
to the Washington government did
not extend to armed merchantmen,
because they, according to the valid
principle and right which restrict hos
tilities to organized forces, are to be
regarded as' pirate vessels, which may
be destroyed."

MOST POWERFUL ORGAN.
z "" i . v
Famous Old Instrument In St. Paul's
Cathedral, London.' .
The organ of St. Paul's cathedral In ;
London is the most powerful in the, 1
world. There Is a . weight of three
tons on the bellows, and some of Its.
giant pipes disappear from view In the !
recesses of the enormous dome. Soma .,
of the smaller, pipes are up. by the ,
altar, and the rest are either hidden
away behind the long, row of choir :
stalls or are seen , towering on either '
side of the choir gates. But all are '
controlled from a little organ loft in
which is scarcely room for anyone be
side the organist seated at th.e key
board. There are five rows of keys and two
tiers of over 100 Ivory handle stops.
The organist showed how, by pressing
with his thumb one of a row of buttons
as he played, whole combinations. of
stops were pushed out or pushed in.
He demonstrated, too, how with the
slightest pressure he could transform
the sound of the organ from the softest
and sweetest of tones to a volume
which rolled and seemed to shake the
entire building. v
The organ Is a very ancient one. It
was built between the years 1624 and
1700 by one Bernard Schmidt, a ce?e- '
bra ted German organ maker, and cost
over 2,000. " Schmidt was merely re
sponsible for the Inside work, the case
being supplied by a joiner for just over
339, while the carving on the case
cost nearly 116. The organ has since
undergone entire reconstruction, but

Disguising Epsom 8alt.
Seeking for various ways of disguis
ing the taste of Epsom salt has become
something of a fadr Here is the very
latest suggestion, and a very good one:.
To each teaspoonful of salt add one
fourth teaspoonful Of cream of tartar
and a little sugar. Dissolve in .a little
hot water and add cold water. A small
er dose of salt Is required when the
cream of tartar is used, since it hastens
the action of the Epsom salt.
