Remember the thrill you to get when you read about the old captain of the sailing ship, and how the lookout on the toremast, when he sighted a whale spouting, would cry down to the deck, “Thar she blows!” And how the whale- boat would be got cut, with the mate in the bow poising his harpoon, with the long line coiled in the bow and ready to run out freely when the whale “ran” under the stroke of the harpoon?) And how sometimes the maddened and frightened whale would come up under the boat, capsizing the crew into the water? Well, they don’t whale that way any more. Science has taken the place of daring, and the humpbacks, finbacks, sulphur bottoms and sperms are pursued now with a steamer and a harpoon gun in the bow. Whaling in our Alaskan waters is now a con- siderable industry, we hear. Altho there are some intermittent effarts by old-time sailing vessels, the industry as now organized is confined to two shore stations with steam vessels operating from them. The old-time whalers, making their catch at sea, use only the oil and whalebone, the entire carcass being wasted. At the shore stations, however, every part of the carcass is utilized, the products including the various grades of oil, as well as fer- tilizer ‘and animal me: The sperm whales constitute the most valuable read when Unimak Pass, in the Aleutian Islands, and the other is Port Arm$trong, on Baranof Island, in southeast Alaska. hese stations are” modern institutions where the carcass when brought ashore is handled scien- tifically to get the last ounce of value out of it. lhe whales are killed by means of sniall steamers with muzzle loading guns at the bow, from which the harpoon is fired, the rope being coiled below and paying out with the flight of the harpoon. TALK FOR A YEAR, ANYHOW l SEEMS to be the general opinion that, under one of Bryan's pet year-to-talk-at-it treaties, our country can do nothing, while for a twelve-month Great Britain can continue to arbitrarily interfere with our trade with neutral countries. But— Is there anything to interfere with Uncle Sam's placing an embargo on all war supplies ship- ped to the allies from America? Such action would make John Bull mad, very likely, but he’d have to talk it over for a year, a very serious year, With all the fighting world needing his help, it begins to look silly to see Uncle Sam standing iround playing the part of anybody's goat. WE DID IT, TOO EK NGLAND'S blockade course may be quite irritating and all that, but when she pulls the records on us we find plenty of precedents estab- lished by Uncle Sam about the year A. D. 1862. But then we were starving our own kin, which made it strictly a family affair. STAR—THURSDAY, AUG. 12, 1915. PAGE 4, WHAT ABOUT THIS, ROBERT? NO THE croakers and knockers of the LaFollette Seamen's law, designed to place a greater pro- tection on human life at sea as well as to give the seamen humanitarian treatment, there is a bit of unwelcome news today in the announcement that the American-Hawaiian Steamship Co. is going to put on three new liners in the coastwise trade. | Robert Dollar and the Pacific Mail Steamship Co. have been filling the columns of the subsidized press with their wails over the “ruin” staring them in the face with the operation of the Seamen’s law. They'd be forced out of business, they claimed. And now the American-Hawaiian Steamship Co, comes to bat and knocks their lamentations clear across the fence Wonder what say now? PLAYING BOTH ENDS OUNT VON REVENTLOW characterizes Ru- mania’s neutrality “malevolent,” which shows what a hazardous undertaking it is to play both ends against the middle. If Greece enters the war on the side of the allies, which appears to be down on the cards, Rumania will find herself in a very precarious pre. dicament, trying to keep neutral. Sort of a “Heads | win, tails you lose,” propo- sition for her. Robert-After-the-Dollar has to + C. E. TAYLOR, 3016 First ave, suggests that the S. E.

CLEAR CASE | EN LINDSEY has been found guilty of con. tempt of court in Denver. There's nobody we can think of who has more reason for feeling contempt of court than Ben Lind. sey; Colorado courts at that. BRITISH AND GERMANS AGREE HANGED conditions of warfare, the British note contends, require a new application of the prin. ciples of international law. Here’s one point on which the British and the Germans agree.
