City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, JULY 5, 1915.
N'ow that the highbrows are busy
devising the means by which peace is
to lie restored to the war distracted
nations of Europe, it is interesting to
note the varying and multitudinous
terms suggested as a reasonable bAsis
for bringing about the wonted tran
quillity and to insure its permanance.
Although the governments of both
France and Hrltntn have announced
long ago, and in almost Identical terms,
the minimum terms upon which peace
will he concluded in the event of vic
tory, the self delegated peace
arbitrators are proceeding with a care
less disregard of all that has been said
by tho Prime Ministers of both of the
western allies, to remake the map of
Europe from every conceivable view
point that human Ingenuity enn de
vise. In fact the voluminous treatises
on the best method of revamping Eu
rope are dally threatening to exceed
in volume the vasty ami heterogenous
mass of screeds containing explana
tions of how and by whom the war was
started. The amazing torrent of ex
planations. as to how things can be
settled, while interesting are also a
trifle silly, for, as far as can be ascer
tained to date, no one explanation has
seemed altogether adequate to meet
the facts upon a logical basis of agree
ment therewith.
Not only are the majority of tile
plans somewhat illogical in the face
of the fact that the proposition of ex
pediency will probably he the great
determining factor but. almost without
exception, they are based solely on the
assumption that the allies will ulti
mately emerge triumphant from the
mighty struggle and therefore in a
position to dictate what terms they
will. While it may be true that the
allies intend to desist not until Ger
many Is crushed or they themselves
are conquered, it may be not Indiscret
lv suggested that the final triumph of
the allies seems at present a possi
bility as remote ns at the beginning
of the war nearly a year ago. In fact,
Germany seems no nearer being whip
ped at present than on that memorable
August day when her farspreading
legions commenced their march on the
French capital. It is even suggested
that as far as may lie judged from out
ward aspects the German nation is
more powerful today and lias a more
commanding grasp on the situation
than at any previous time during the
war period. All of which leads to the
suggestion that in addition to being
exceedingly premature the plans of the
peace experts which demand the over
throw of the Germans as the primary
basis of calculation are also a long way
from the prohahle course of events.
While it is quite within the bounds
of possibility that the entire map of
Europe may be remolded somewhat in
accordance with the ideas of the
knowing ones, it is far more prohahle
that there will be little change unless
both Germany and the allies intend to
exceed the limitations set down as the
ultimate of their demands at the be
ginning.
Ever since the era of high explosives
and steel armor plate opened there has
been a constant warfare between the
makers of arms and of armor. When
ever an armor has been devised, im
pregnable against existing guns, the
gunmakers have promptly produced a
still stronger gun, able to penetrate
the newer armor.
The struggle has been like the agos
old struggle between the defenses of
society against thieves and the acti
vity and ingenuity of (he thieves in
breaking down or evading the defenses
of society.
On the western border of the present
war a new development of the old
struggle Is now being seen. It is hut
a brief period since the Germans com
menced the use of asphyxiating gases
in attacks upon the trenches of the
allies, but already* the defenses are
being set up. The first defense was
the use of “respirators” by the troops
attacked, through which they escaped
the worst consequences of the poison
ous gas. French chemists have come,
to the front with an additional defense
When the chloride fumes of the
Germans are seen drifting down be
fore the winds upon French trenches
the French spray air with ammonia.
This combines with asphyxiating gas '
and turns it into an innocuous nm
monlum bromide. Of course, there,
there will he other deadly gases used,
against which counter sprays will tie
___I
brought into action and the battle of
the chemists will be ns active as that
jof the makers of arms and armor.
Ttefore the war is over the resources
of chemistry promise to be drawn up >.i

WOMEN MUST PH
HUSBAND ALIMONY
I.OS ANGELES. The state court
has ordered Mrs. Harry Kraus, fiu
years old, to pay her husband, who is
only 39, $40 a month alimony until the
suit brought by the aged woman for a
divorce from her husband is settled.
The attorneys for the husband insisted
that as the woman had all the mone\ |
and had supported tier husband since |
her marriage and it was under those I
conditions that he agreed to marr\ her. |
that she should pay the alimonj until
the case is settled. The court decided
that the conditions existing prior to
the application for a divorce should be
continued until the ease is settled, as
would have been his decision hail the
woman been supported by the husband.
The decision caused much comment in
the city as it is the first time in this
county that n woman has been forced
to pay alimony to her husband.
