City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, MAY 28, 1915.
In mi order issued to his troops in
June 13ti3. General Robert K J-.ee said:
' No greater disgrace can befall
the army and through it our whole
people than the perpetration of
barba.ious outrages upon the in
nocent and the defenseless
If must be remembered that we
make war only on armed men.’
Quite a contrast to the spirit mani
fested in the present great conflict
where unwarned and defenseless towns
are bombarded l>v battleships and the
swooping monsters of the skies, where
neutral and unarmed ships are sent
plunging downward to destruction with
a precious freight of human lives With
a remorseless disregard of humane
feeling. Quite a contrast, isn't it? It
never suggested itself to that great
Confederate leader that there was
merit or even advantage to he gained
by such trifles as tiring upon unwarn
ed towns or in sinking unwarned ships
loaded with neutrals, non-combatants,
women sar children. Verily, we believe
that such a one as he would even he
very likely to accept the view that a
treaty was something to he respected!
Truly, things have changed. To Gen
eral Lee "outrages upon the innocent
and defenseless” were abhorrent things
which no necessity could condone. Vet
today the rankest barbarism is ex
cused by the offender on the plea of
the "frequent inability to distinguish
between belligerents and neutrals,”
It were indeed well if some of our bel
ligerent friends across the water could
conceive a trifle of the noble and
chivalrous spirit breathed in that mo
mentous utterance of General T-ec. And
it would also be well for themselves if
they could realize that humanity at
largo still approves of I he sentiment
contained in the order of one who in
the face of the direst necessity could
condone no act on the part of his army
which savored of brutality or inhu
manity
DISILLUSIONMEWT
Many men- (here have been, dis
couraged and distraught, who, tiring
of life's struggle laid down their bur
dens voluntarily and passed to the
long sleep. Rut none have sought ob
livion with higher courage or deeper
despair than the man who, a few days
ago. calmly set his scanty house in
prder and. in full health and strength,
{swam out and out into the great ocean,
into the eye of the sun. until the great
i waters enfolded him and rendered
back his soul to hts Maker. N'o
work, no hope, no use," was the mes
sage left behind.
It was not hunger or immediate ne
cessltj that drove this man to his
death He left money in the pockets
of his clothing N'o doubt ho was a
disappointed man: one who had set
his mark high, and instead of success
found only failure and unappreeiatIon
in the base world.
There is much of this variety of des
pair In the world, beyond the reach of
kindness or charity, and it Is often
more cruel than hunger. The bursting
of the bubble, the falling of the air
castle, the waking from the youthful
dream to a realization of a drab and
plodding existence, with no reward in
sight.
It is one of the penalties of our doe
trine of the equality of men that all
should hope for success and for recog
nition. and hut few achieve these ends
The buoyant souls follow the vision
courageouslv over the rough road, but
there Comes a time to most of them
when the rosy dream fades and they
s>e a w ret cited reality. This the
period of life that tries men's souls
ind sometimes lends to abandonment
u tlie struggle.
Yet we must remember that success
often lies just hiyond. for those who
have the hardihood to endure. And.
In any event, it Is the part of manhood
io go forward with a stout heart in
•loud or sunshine fighting the good
tight and gathering strength from the
struggle if not for our final good in
i liis world, then perhaps in some exis
lepee yet to come Disillusionment Is
i supreme test for apv soul, and Its
leBiedy Is in higher courage.—Ex.
