.JV. .1 GROWING SOLID
(Seattle Star.)
k,« It Is good news -that coming from
Alaska—that for the year 1915 copper
will take first place in the products
of that territory, followed by lead;
gold coming third For many years
| .gold has taken first place.
I ' The aforementioned reversal shows
| that'Alaska is coming into its own:
! that It is no longer to be looked upon
j solely as a field for the hardy ad
j venturer, but tha an era of commercial
I development has begun, coincidental
| with the commencement of work on !
f (he federal railroad, which will popu
! lat# Alaska with a permanent and de
sirable class of settlers.
MEN FOR THREE YEAR9' WAR.
(I/eslle’s.)
f. Germany is credited with producing
about 500,000 recruits per year from
her growing youth; Austria probably
half as many. Turkey is a more un
certain quantity, but may be pul down
at 160,000, giving the central powers
a total of new material of about 900,
ouo per year, which may be increased
by lowering the physical requirements
of recruits. Say that tha total is 1,
oOO.OOO per year to uffftet the loss of a
little less than 3,500,000. Placing the
» present available mllitury strength of
Germany at 10,000,000, Austria ti.UOO.Ooo
and Turkey 3,000,000, wehavea total of
18,000,000 fighting tnen upon which
there is a net loss of 3,500,000 per year.
Three years more of war would there
fore reduce the numerical strength of
the Teutonic allies by 7,600,000, leaving
p them Still over 10,000,000 effectives.
It is more difficult to arrive at any
satisfactory estimate of ttie potential
strength of the allies. Great Britain
without conserlption will never reullze
(be full measure of her strength. Can
ada has undertaken to furnish 6,000
men per month during the continua
tion of the war. Australia and New
Zealand are contributing their quota.
Franc* ought to bring about 300,000
new men into the service per year.
FtuHsle has practically inexhaustible
numbers of men. With conscription
Great Britain could easily Increase her
^ urmed forces by nearly one-half and
maintain them at their maximum ^
strength for a couple of years. The
allies ought to be able to put two new
men into the field for each one that
i
the central powers can muster.
KILLING OFF THE GENTRY.
(Minneapolis Journal.)
So many English aristocrats are be
♦ Ing killed that Englishmen, who pro
verbial “dearly love a lord” are asking
what England is going to do for gen- I
tlemen. The caste in Germany, who
are supposed to be responsible for the
war, are also being decimated. Over a
thousand Germans of title, who are
named in the Almanac de Gotha have
been killed. Noble families are becom
^ ing extinct or are losing all their heirs.
What will become of tho gentry of
Europe, and how can Enrope get along
without a gentry? These questions
arc seriously propounded in Europe.
Bless you, Europe, gentlemen can be
developed over night nnd you will be
astonished after the war how well you
can get along without the indispensa
ble species, how much, forsooth, of an
Improvement their absence will occa
sion.
England in particular need not de
spair. One of England's special Indus- ,
ries always has been the manufacture
of gentlemen. When gentlemen by
blrfh did not exist, England used the
raw material of almost anybody to
« fashion Into a perfectly good gentle
manly Imitation. Tho land of pompous
^ butlers and knowing valets always lias
in reserve understudies of gentlemen,
prepared successfully to undertake the
parts.
11C1I all the gentlomon in Europe In
this way and you will- behold a new
crop of the same quality in their place.
Even In America do we not seo them
arise? The persistence of their exist
ence argues, Indeed, that they repre
sent, If not an economic condition, a
Mil It .
psychulugicui necessity of human na
ture Jf some of mankind desire to
look down, others of mankind insist
upon the privilege of looking up. Hence
nioriHi chy and aristocracy, which are
older and more widespread today than
democracy and equality, as we Amer
icans must admit the moment we ob
serve tile larger world outside our- ,
selves.
NOT OUR WAR.
I Hay tv. i .yew s.j
it seems pretty hard lo gel it into
Hie heads of American citizens that
tins is not our war, and that we hn.e l
nothing to do with it—or ought noi tr |
have anything to do with iu To hear |
many of the people of this country !
tulking about it, one might imagine j
that we are in some way involved.
What we need in this country right
now is to attend lo our own business
exclusively, and lo allow the people \
across the ocean to do the same thing. I
They promoted the war aver there; let
them tight it out. There is no reason
wiiy we should sir up among ourselves
any antagonisms on account of a
snuggle with which we are not con
cerned.
elvery one of llie waning nations is
getting exuclly what is coming lo it,
just as every man wiio enters strife
reaps the reward that comes to him
who indulges in sucli barbaric ways,
it is a natural law linn no man can
injuj-e Ids fellows without himself be
ing injured. It doesn't make any dif
ference how tile war ends, all of the
nations engaged will be whipped.
BUSINESS AND MERE SENTIMENT
(New York American.)
from Chicago comeg Uitt information
.hui the Uajilaml, remodelled ami re
iaimed, wil soon be uoni lu aaolher
purl ami used once again in Ihe ex
cursion business. She had been re
modelled ones in Ills interest of ’'safe
ly'’ before the frightful accident in
which more than 1,400 people, mostly
women and children, lost their lives.
The new remodelling is promised to
be mare complete, and as the pitiful
cries of those whom she dragged down
to death will no longer ring through
her cabins, and her identity will be
largely lost through the change of
name, cold-heared business proposes
to make her once again a pleasure ship
and reap from her a profit, regardless
of her past.
Sentiment is perhaps an empty
thing. Business Is the great god of tho
day. It may be weakness to protest
that a charnel house called a theater,
or a steel coflln called an excursion
boat should not be still dedicated to
pleasure after having inflicted on hun
dreds of happy homes immeasurable
woe. But we could wish that in cases
such as these a decent regard for tho
feelings of fellow men would lead tho
owners of such properties to accept
any financial loss rather than to so
outrage tho reasonable sensibilities of
humanity.
THE REAL CAUSE.
(Boston Record.)
The animus behind the German pro
tests against our neutral trade, and
Ihe Rrltish objection to the same, but
not a love or desire for neutrality, but
a fervent determination to bend us
ns far from strict neutrality and to
wards their respectlvo sides as the
