City Cfficial Paper
NOME, ALASKA, SEPT. 17, 1915.
The tremendous opposition developing
against the franco - .British loan comet
not as a surprise us such an eventuality
was greatly to he expected. Not only
from the hyphenated citizenry of the
country but ulso from the strongest
dyed in the wool Americans, many 01
whom feel that in this manner lead
ing strength to the thews of wai
America is doubly convicted of tht
charge of aiding and abetting In tht
greatest crime of the centuries. Since
.he beginning of the war the United
States has been at all times one ol
the most important factors it the strug
gle through being the primary source
■ f supply for the* entente allies. Since
auTiost the first day of the struggle the
anti-Teuton alliance has depended on
the United States for the bulk of every
thing which enabled them to continue
their struggle against the superlot
strength and equipment of the enemy
This were all very well if the aid thui
provided were confined to the necessi
ties of life—to the providing of foot
and clothing and tho numerous harm
less commodities necessary to sustalr
. a people in health and comfort. To feed
and clothe those who are In need ol
such attention is a solemn and holy
duty and they who give themselves to
such action are worthy of the highest
encomium. The trouble has been, how
ever that tliis aid has extended to tht
supplying of the tools of war, the im
plements of death and destruction
without which the ghastly human hola
oaust could not continue for more thar
a brief period. Although theoretically
preserving a most Innocent and harm
less neutrality, the United States hat I
been not only directly contributing tc
a most shameless horror but has alac
been the principal factor In its perpe
tuation. It is universally admitted that
wore it not for tho war supplies In the
shape of arms and ammunition furnish
ed by this country the gory strife
would long ago have ceased. Assum
ing this view as correct, the United
States is as much responsible for the
present existence of the war as any o
the nations engaged. Not for the
■auses to be sure, but for the effects,
he uncounted host of dead and wound
ed, tlie terrific destruction, the wan
ind woe, the teurs and sororws that
lave followed dince the day the nulloni
ould no longer maintain their powei
.hrough their own resources and ef
forts. This war is the most terribli
that has yet disgraced the history o.
Humanity. It is a War unjustified by
prinulple and dontains not one loty
yf anything in the way of ewcuse that
;an be called commendable.
It is aleo the most awful of all con
flicts In that tt is a war of extermina
tion. No cruelty Is too cruel to pruc
tice, no horror too awful to inflict s>
that the enemy might be injured. Any
and every reeource, regardless of its
nature or consequence has been em
ployed wherever possible and no virtuv
that has not been outraged in the mad
ness and fury of the struggling millions
And hi all of this the United States hat
had a share and is as blood guilty, li
fact If not In theory, as any of the wai
crazed nations. Yet, despite the ghast
ly awfulness of it all, the most of u;
are content to ease our minds with thi
reflection that "business is business;
to solace ourdelves with the belief that
what is going on is none of our con
cern, in as much us we had no han<
in bringing it about. This docs noi i
relieve us of the moral responsibility^ ]
however. It is our shot our shells that
are screaming on the war torn field!
of Europe today and in many instance!
it is our guns that are tiring them
Strive as we may lo absolve ourselvet
of responsibility the fuel that we art
the primary agent in the continuance
of the war canot be denied. When thesi
facts are considered in an open light oui
responsibility is painfully clear. Tt
those to whom humane feeling is not
an ubsenl quality the idea of such ai
awful responsibility is repulsive, and one
cannot wonder that the Austrian ano
German element in the United State!
are not alone in their opposition to tht
proposed billion dollar loan. As re
marked, "Business is business," but
still one cannot but wonder at the
general disregard of the awfulness o
the transaction. Not content with
merely supplying the active means witl
which the work of destruction is ac
complished, we are now preparing tt
lend still further aid in the shape o
money to carry the work of carnage ti
still greater lengths This is "business’
with a vengeance.

AT THE FRONT

This is Frederick Villiers’ seveteenth
■. ar. Everywhere we go in the English
lines some officer says to him: “But
I suppose you’ve seen ull this sort of
thing before.
And Villiers, who has painted wat
pictures all over the world, says: "It’s
all new to me. I’m a babe at this new
game of war."
It is not all now to him, of course.
Villiers’ first campaign was in 1870
In those days no one touched off a can
.mu until trie enemy was iu sight. 1.

too far.
i ne British artilleryman tinkered
witli their gun as delicately as watch
makers adjusting a jeweled watch, and
me gun boomed out again.
It hit the farm house," was the
message that came back over the tele
phone.
It was 1U0 per cent shooting, for the
iwo lest shots are almost always neces
sary in range tiruling.
i ue twentieth century British artil
.... were showing us how well they
new how to shout.
i,ut there s another point in this
twentieth century warfare that is even
moie important, anti that is to keep in
mind where not to shoot.
oiner we saw an astonishing ex
ample of this. VV e were in the Eng
lish trenches at Bloegstreet • wood
Viliiers had trudged down the trend
before me.
Through a periscope, we looked
across the grass and saw the German
trenches, not a block away.
Scattered rifle firing was Incessant
Bullets whistled over the trench now
and then, but it was a quiet sunshiny
lazy, summer day.
English soldiers sat about smok
ing, talking or reading.
Suddenly from behind us came th<
yell of an English shell, it passed ovei
us.
"A hit waa the word the periscopi
man sent down the trenches.
Through periscopes, We saw a black
cloud hanging over the German
trenches. There was a gap in their lint
of sand bags. 1 was glad that we could
not see into the German trench.
Whut was going on at that moment
hidden from our eyes, we could not
know. Surely there were dead and
torn men, lying in a bloody mass 01
shrapnel.
The same afternoon sun that was
warming us looked down on that sight
which we could not see.
The three hundred feet between us
and them was like the width of the
world. And that same English shell
would have done the same thing to out
English trench if some expert artillery
man had given a certain screw a twist
too much to the left.
Speeding 40 feet lower at the end ol
its journey of perhaps four miles, the
scene of the bloodshed would have beer
in tlto English and not in the German
trench.
This shooting was unknown six
months ago, but in General French's
artillery parks it has become a common
thing.
“I thought I knew war," said Villieri
“but 1 would not have known a thing
about artillery possibilities if I had
not seen that shell fall on the German
trench.”
