NOME, ALASKA, MARCH 31, 1917.
Ur. Sherman, chief surgeon of the
United States Steel Corporation, who
has recently returned from the hos
pitals of Europe is quoted by the
1‘hiladelphia Ledger nj saying that,
up to tile present time, two and only
two great medical discoveries have
come out of the war. One discov
ery belongs to a Frenchman and has
completely revolutionized the treat
ment of burns. The other belongs
to Ur. Carrel, of the Rockefeller
Institute for Medical Research, and
Ur. Sherman insists that it is the
greatest discovery made since Lister
found the way to antiseptic surgery.
He says: "Intrinsically, this thing is
more valuable than the entire Rocke
feller fortune by which Carrel's work
was made possible. Even more en
thusiastic is the statement that "this
discovery alone will pay for the war
m fifty years.”
Ur. Carrel went to the war front
under direction of tiie Rockefeller
Foundation soon after the war be
gan. He found that eighty out of
every hundred soldiers who suffered
amputation did so because it became
necessary through infetcioo of the
wound. He found that seventy-five
out of every hundred who survived
over twenty-four hours after the
wounds were received died of infec
tion. Ninety-five out of every hun
dred wounded soldiers who died from
secondary hemorrhages died from in
fection. What did he do? lie stopped
infection.
A solution discovered by him which
can be made at a nominal cost, Is
introduced into the wound and
promptly kills all infectious germs.
From this time forward, wherever
surgical aid can reach the wounded
the dangers of infected wounds are
over, he Rockefeller Foundation, if
iliis were all that it has done or w ill
accomplish, has justified its existence
as the world’s greatest philanthropy.
Ex.'
Germany and Austro-Hutigary are
now beginning to count the cost of
tiio war upon which they entered so
lightly.
In the memorandum handed to the
American representative in Berlin for
transmission to Great Britain, France
and Russia the Imperial government
frankly admits that—
The spirit and material progress
which were the pride of Europe at
the beginning of the twentieth cen
tury are threatened with ruin.
Even more emphatic is the language
of the note sent to the Vatican:
Europe which formerly was devoted

| to the propagation of religion and clv
j ilizatlon, which was trying to find so
lutions for social problems and was
tlie home of science and art and all
peaceful labor, now resembles an im
mense war camp in which the
achievements and works of many de
cades are doomed to annihilation.
In the Austro-Hungary 'official
statement we find this:
The continuation of the murder
ous war in which the enemy can de
stroy much, hut cannot as the quad
ruple alliance is firmly confident—
alter fate, is ever more seen to he
an act of humanity justified by no
necessity and a crime against civil
izaton.
It is true also, as the German mem
orandum records that “not only upon
the belligerent nations but also upon
the neutrals the destructive conse
quences of the gigantic struggle weigh
heavily." Those arc nil statements of
obvious fact. The whole world is suf
fering from tlic effects of this war;
tint what has Germany to offer to the
world by way of atonement or by
way of guarantees for the future.
On July 26, 1911, Sir Sdward Gray,
then the British secretary of state
for foreign affairs, proposed to the
German foreign office that represen
tatives of Germany, Franco, Italy and
Great Britain "meet here in confer
ence immediately for the purpose of
discovering an issue which would
prevent complication.s" The sense of
the Grey proposals was that if Ger
many would hold hack Austria-Hun
gary, Groat Britain and France would
hold hack (liussla, and a peaceful
adjustment of the Serbian issue could
ho made. The German government
refused, and out of that refusal came
the war whoso ghastly consequences
have begun to make their impression
even upon the official mind of Berlin.
Whatever the moral responsibility
of Russia may be it is certain that
Great Britain and France did not
want this war, and that if Germany
I had co-operated with them to pre
| vent it, "the spiritual and material
progress” of Euiojk- would not now
be threatened with ruin.
In submitting peace proposals the
German government is in reality re
opening the negotiations which it
closed when the chancellor declined
to accept Sir Edward Grey's sugges
lios. Germany in the mean time lias
had her war. Even her junkers and
her liornhardtis and her Tirpitzes j
and her crown prince party have had
ther fill of it. And what has Ger
many to show for it, in spite of the
hostile territory occupied by her .
armies? Nothing lull death and de
vastation and a reputation for bad
faith which will require a century of
right living to obliterate.
Vet even in proposing peace there
is no hint of guarantees for the fu
ture, no suggestion of assurances that
peace does not mean merely an armed
f
truce which Germany is again to vio
late at the first favorable opportunity.
The gri at obstacle to peace is not
tlie indecisive status of the war or the
obstinacy of ilio French and British
governments or the desire of Ger
many's enemies fo% revenge. It is
the deep conviction of belligorents
and neutrals alike that the govern
ment of Germany cannot be trusted
and that there can be no security for
civilization until official Germany has
radically changed Its attitude toward
the rest of mankind.
That is why no neutral people have
tafaen Germ.nyls peace proposals
seriously and that is why no neutral
government will urge Great Britain
and France to end the war on terms
which would enable the German gov
ernment to proclaim a German vic
tory New York World.

NOTES
Twenty tons of high grade gold ore
from the Primrose and Bluebell mines
on Porcupine creek, belonging to Chas.
Hubbard of Seward, arrived there re
cently enroute to the Tacoma smelter.
The ore is expected to yield ahenit $75
per ton over and above the cost of
freighting and smelting.
Supt. Robert Summers of the Pair
hanks division of the Alaska Road
Commission says the winter trail will
be opened by the Commission from thu
point about 30 miles south of Nenana,
oil the railroad right of way, by the
way of Tolkat river to the mouth of
Glacier Creek and thence to the Knn
tishna diggings.
Copper miners of the Whitehorse
district have received word from the
Granby smelter tit Anyox that the
smelter will be unable to acept any
more ore shipment from them until
next March. The smelter is run by
water and the recent cold weather has
greatly reduced the power so that a
portion of the plant had to be closed
down.
Tom White and Nate Murphy, who
have established a fox ranch at O'
Donnell river, report they have located
a den of silver foxes and will make a
special effort to trap them.
Unusually deep snow for interior Al
aska is reported this w inter. In many
[daces where the usual snowfall is
from 6 to 10 inches the snow this win
ter stands 36 to 10 inches deep. f
