NOME, ALASKA, JULY 11, 1917.
“NONE SO BLIND—"
The one great outstanding fact of I
the war as it is being fought today !
is that the results of combat depend j
primarily upon the artillery. Nearly J
three years of almost continuous war- !
fare has demonstrated that there 'is
a stalemate every where until one
side or the other shows a preponder
ance of artillery service. Great num- j
bers of inen are necessary to hold
the gains resulting from the destruc- ,
tive force of the artillery but the J
guns are the first essential to the win- '
ing of battles. i
Cavalry and infantry can make lit- 1
tie progress until the artillery has j
pulverized the opposing trenches and ‘
^ fortifications and cleft a path through 1
enemy lines. j
Thi^- battles of the present war are '
simply an enlargement of the policy
of Napoleon to concentrate cannon In '
sufficient numbers to blow an opening i
in the opposing front. In a great de- J
gi'ce. the Napoleonic axiom that “God J
fights on the side of the heaviest ar- <
tillery" is being daily proven on the
European battlefields.
At the Inception of I he war Ger
many unquestionably’ possessed su
perority In the number and general
effectiveness of her artillery forces and
was easily able to overcome the op
Iposition atj practically every point
until the British and French succeed
ed In gathering sufficient guns to off
set the enemy batteries. Today, they,
and not the Germans, possess the
preponderance of artillery strength.
What Is also Important is that at the
start of the struggle Germany not
only possessed more guns, but also
had men who knew how to use them.
Today, if not actually dependant on
men who are not the equal of the
highly trained gunnery specialists
employed by her at the beginning,
Germany at least possesses no more
< xpcrienced gunners than her enemies.
And not alone has she gone back
with respect to artillery but Is also
far Inferior to the allies in naval, cav
alry and infantry’ power.
Today we must estimate the cen
tral powers as inferior In every branch
of military strength, and present pro
ceedings Indicate that they possess
no decided superiority In the matter
of generalship. In fact a logical sur
vey’ of the general developments of
the war Indicates that the much
vaunted German strategy and gener
alship has been vastly overrated.
In the matter of resources the Ger
man allies are also far behind the
entente. What the central powers
have captured In the line of supplies
1ms gone to the armies and the mil
lions of non-comlmtants within their
borders. Despite the immense quan
tities of plunder wrested from their
enemies, there is little abatement in
the widespread suffering of the civil
ian population. A largo part of Ger
man) is hungry today and that hun
ger end natiorul misery increases as
the struggle goes on. Needless to
say, the suffering of those millions
of non-combatants affects in greater
or less degree tbe morale of tbe fight
ing forces.
On the financial side, Germany has
been for three years taking hard cash
from the pockets of her citizens ami
replacing it with paper promises to
pay. And the debt to her people has
continued to grow until those prom
ises are today practically worthless
unless Germany secures peace with
a victory. And this against the great
est odds ever known! And now, as
a culminating blow to her prospects
of success, her enemies have been
joined by the richest and most re
sourceful nation on earth.
With this view of the situation in
mind we are forced to wonder how
the German people hope for victory
any longer.
How can they longer blind them
selves to the final failure of their
autocratic rulers?
With each brutal measure resorted
to by her desperate leaders—and each
one is seemingly more brutal than
those which have gone before—the
penalty grows greater. Already the
nation is theratened with financial
ruin, and with still darker disasters
in prospect.
With a nobility and heroism that
cannot bo denied, the German people
have, for /nearly three long years,
sacrificed their lives and possessions
and denied themselves everything
with the utmost of loyalty and con
fidence in the ultimate victory of their
autocratic masters. They have done
all that any people could have done
but today they cannot but realize that
the major portion of their sacriflcfles
have been In vain unless— It is true
that they are willfully blind to the
facts which stare them in the face.
“None so blind as h'im who will not
see," says the adage and wo wonder
if that is really the reason why they
cannot realize the situation, and real
ize, too, that, although the hour is
late the Germain people can still save
Germany if they will.
Rot the German people bring peace
to the world by abolishing their nu
tocraccy as the Russians have done,
and they need have no fears that
Germany will not be allowed a place
of honor among the nations of earth.
Ret them but abolish their autocracy,
thereby ridding the world of the men
ace it represents, and they will find
In these same United States which
are now preparing to use the utmost
of their forces against them, a friend
and sympathizer which w*ill demand
nothing but Its Inalenlable rights and
will, furthermore, insist that Germany
and the German people shall receive
their Just dues at the hands of others.
