NOME, ALASKA, OCT. 19, 1915. I
The belief of many that the United |‘
States will ultimately own a large J
share in the various belligerent na- '
thuis seem in a fair way to be real- 1
iz« d in spite of the declaration of the s
kaiser that everything would be over
but the shouting, by the present month. L
England and France have already 1
sought and obtained a large chunk of 1
L ncie Samuel’s shekels upon security 1
which is guaranteed by the respective j
governments and now along comes 1
Ualy with her hand out asking for 1
some of his surplus wealth. It isn’t 1
uH.cu to be sure, only a trfling twen
ty-live millions, which is comparative- 1
ly small to Uncle, but it serves to
show that L'ncle has stepped into Bri
tain's place as the “banker for the
earth." It also serves to show the
condition to which the nations have
been reduced by the year of blood
and destruction just concluded. This
is w hut one year of war has cost the
financial colossus of the earth—Bri
tain. She is relegated to the background
as tlie world's money changer and is
■ mpelled to look to outside sources
; r t..e money to sustain herself. With
Ena ia 1 unable to help her allies they
are pretence compelled to look to the
I nited States for the wherewithal to
carry on their costly game as there is
no other nation sufficiently wealthy to
spare tlie huge sums needed to carrv
on a struggle of such huge dimensions
as the one In which they are now in
volved. Millions are trifles to the war
distraught, nations at present and “bil
lion is fast becoming the foot rule by
wlii' li the costs are measured. Mil
) mi>ttiply so rapidly in the fearful
struggle that they cease to be the
tr> mendous sum they were a short
time ago and, as a consequence, finan
cial reserves which are counted In j
terms < f millions are altogether inade
c ate io jne* t the costs that are grow
ing steadily greater.
Careful computations place the total
costs fur the first year af war as about
ten billions, which, as Italy has been
engaged but a comparatively short
tilin', means that each nation lias been
compelled to spend about two billions.
When it is considered that the total
-nn; >f the national wealth of each of
i In combatants aside from England,
] is hardly in excess of ten
I millions one cun see where lies the
i eason for tho sudden demands pn
tide Sam for money. All of the al
lied nations, with the possible excep
tion of Russia, are nearly at the end
of their cash resources and are com
pelled to fall back on their national
{credit in order to go on.
This is after only one short year of
struggle, be it remembered, and, with
the present prospect that it will be at
least another year before the game is
... it seems a certain conclusion
that before the end of that period
radically all of tile warriors will be
compelled to draw on the immense
resources of tin- United States. This
means tiiat the United States will hold
n immense interest in each one
through the possession of their se
curities backed by the national assets.
There is little doubt that by the
middle of the second year of warfare
every one of the contenders will be
iravving on the wealth of America
ml that they will ..11 be doing so
ultimately seems not a problem but
i certainty. The only question is how
nuch of the demand the United States
will be able to till and this alone
ncasures the amnunt of interest this
aatlon will hold when the war is over.
CLIMATE DOES NOT CHANGE.
Willis Isbister Alilh; m's Book on .Met
eorology.)
The question of this constancy oi
: the climate must be diseusutd for three
!different time intervals, first, has the
jrlimate remained cunstant during tin
| recent pact, say tile last luu y ears,
j secondly, has the climate remained
I constant during tile historic time;.', say
tho last 7,000 years; thirdly, has the
climate remained constant during re
cent geologic ages, say the last 10,
000,000 years.'
There are many stations where me
teorological observations have been
made for more tlm.t loo years, in fact,
a few lecol'ds cover more than 300
yt :.rs. Based upon these observations,
:l*e statement can confidently tie made
.1 at the climate is essentially the
;anie now us it was many years ,
■veil loO years ago. This is largely |
untruly to popular belief, it means !
hat, taking one year with another, j
lie snowfall is just as large now as |
then. It moans that sleighing lasts j
lust as long now is t n. It means
that the winters are no milder now than'
then means that the summer - ar» no
hotter now than then.
The constant statements by the old
er people, that the climate is different
now than it used to lie When they were ^
younger, are due to the tendency to |
.nagnify and remember the unusual
while the ordinary is forgotten. Thus '
in time, it is only the unusual snow- ,
fall or the extremely low temper
that are well remembered, and uneon
siuusly the abnormal has thus been
substituted for the normal. There
statements are also due to the fact
atat the attitude toward life, the
amount of energy, the daily occupa- '
lions, anti perhaps the place of resi- 1
dence of the older people are very j
different now than when they were ^
.- ounger.
in discussing ihe possible changes {
in climate during the last 7,000 years, 1
inference must be drawn from such |
recorded facts as the dates of harvest,
lie kind and amount of crops raised,
■ he kind of clothing worn by the peo
ple, tiie habits of i'e of the people,
existence of certain wild animals and
crest trees, the size of ih<- rivers, the
height of lakes and inciosed as, etc.
rom evidence of tiiis kind, the con
tusion has been drawn that there have
ieen no marked changes in climate
during historic times.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
i Harry A. Wise Wood, chairman con
ference committee on national pre
pardness.J
Early in tile Iasi century Uie United
stales was in diilieulues with Russia,
and tile lioly alliance—Russia, Prussia
and Austria. Russia had ultempted to
exclude foreigners. From certain dis
pted territory in the American north*
west, while the Holy alliance had
threatened to reimpose Spanish rule
upuii tlic South American colonies,
which, having revolted, had been rec
ognized liy our government us inde
pendent states.
these controversies having reached
a critical stage. President Monroe, in
I,is message to congress of December
j.isjii, announced tbe policy, already
indicated by Jefferson, which since lias
borne Monroe's name. Jefferson had j
said. "uur first and fundamental max
im should be never to entangle. our- j
selves in the broils of Europe. Our )
second, never to suffer Europe to in- j
urmeddle with cisAtlantic allairs.
Shortly after these words were writ- J
ten Monroe in his message said:
"The occasion has been judged prop
el in asserting as a principle in which
the tights and interests of the United
States are involved, that the Ameri
can continents, by the free and inde
pendent condition which they have as
sumed and maintain are henceforth
not to lie considered us subjects fur
future colonization by any European
powers. * * *
••In the wars of the European pow
ers in matters relating to themselves
we have never taken any part, nor
dues it comport with our policy to do
so it is only when our rights are in
vaded or seriously menaced that we
II nt injuries or make preparations
for defense. With the movements In
tiiis hemisphere we are of necessity
more immediately connected, and by
causes which must be obvious to all
nlightened and impartial observers.
Tile political system of the allied
powers is essentially different in this
iaspect from that of America. * * *
\V(> owe it, therfore, to candor and
to the amicatble relations existing be
tween the United States and those
powers to declare that we should con
sider any attempt on their part to ex
tend their system to any portion of
this hemisphere as dangerous to our
peace and safety. With the existing
olonies or dependencies of any Euro
nan power we have not interfered.
But the governments who have de
hired their independence and main
lined it. and whse independence we
have on great consideration and on
iid principles acknowledged, wo could
put view any interposition for the pur
,. ., oppressing or controlling In any
■ tlier manner ther destiny by any
European power in any other light
