City Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA, JAN. 18, 1916
The hostile demonstration which
greeted an attempt to hold a peace
meeting In the British metropolis U
most convincing evidence that the
British mind is becoming attuned to
the idea that peace is not only im
possi e hut is also undesirable as long
ts there remain* a hope of beating the
reuton alhes into complete subjection
it is also a most significant indication
that the British people are not »o
unalterably opposed to the war as
many of the reports previously sent
out Would suggest.
True enough, the Eondon announce
ment of the storm arising at the peace
meeting may be artfully colored to suit
mo i\ ishes of the war party which, of
-ise, controls the censors, still,
mere is no more reason for this view
'ban there is for believing that the
reports that the people were opposed
...i- .\ar. is a sincere statement of
There is, in all probability, a
considerable portion of the British
public w ho are opposed to the war, re
gardless pf the consequences of such
opposition. This Is bound to be. Prob
>»"> he nation has ever gone to war
without there were some who were
unalterably opposed, no matter what
the cause might be, whether Just and1
i Ight or ignoble and wrong.
The British may not as a whole be
exactly In sympathy with this war or
the causes which led to their being ln
llcted with its trials and desolation*
still there are few actual indications
that they are not resolved to see mat
’ers to a final conclusion now that they
are in it. Even as regards the labor
element it would appear from the evi
dences that the dissatisfaction over
the enforcement of general conscrip
tion is confined to but two or three
organizations which are in a position
to enforce a certain amount of recog
nition which may result in their ex
emption from military duty. These
rep robably, offering considerable ob
jection to the war and army service and
are doubtless not to be blamed for
an attempt to escape from possible,
• veil probable, injury and death. But,
i Is hardly to bo believed that the
great mass of the British working men
ire not In sympathy with the govern
ment In the great crisis with which it
Is confronted. The recruiting records
seem ample proof that the British peo
ple generally are resolved to do their
duty and thiB view is further confirmed
by such episodes as the stoning of
those who are seeking to promote peace
regardless of cost. It is possible that
it the outset of the titan struggle the
British masses may have been against
the Immense sacrifices entailed by
war; may even have been dissatisfied
with the government for taking a
stand which resulted in placing the na
tion in Jeopardy, but it is hardly prob
able that the feeling still persists save
in a slight degree. Patriotism is one
'•f the strongest features of the Eng
! sh character and now that the people
recognize that the very existence of the
nation is at stake it Is hardly believ
able that even the enforcement of con
scription will be greatly opposed, ex
cept In certain quarters w’hlch do not,
however represent more than a tithe
of the British people Indeed, It can
cosily be believed that the major por
ion uf the people have accepted the
view that peace is not advisable until
*u«h time as the object for which the
war was undertaken shall ba r been
achieved. With the advance of time
no* ,iebahly come a c eater under
■»’' hdlng ol' the issues involved and
also an active recognlt’ »i that th;
ruttp« existence of the nation is in
volved in the attainment of certain re
sults.
The Valdez Miner says: John A.
delischor, editor of Leslie's says that
if Alaska does not get what she wants
from Washington, that the threat to
secede tnu> bring the government to
time. Just what Alaska would gain
oy seceding le very doubtful, as the
territory would not have money enough
left after the grafters got through
with her to pay for a nigger's funeral,
it would be much better to get what
we want by showing the government
a hat we have to give than by any
ihreat of secession. The United States
,ias taken out #600.00(1,000 from Alaska
since it was purchased from Russia,
tnd about all that Alaska has got in
return has been a lot of parasites to
■ atten at the expense of her citizens.
Money has been returned sparingly
nd It has taken a handspike and much
•ajolery to get enough to run our
lostotuces and roads. No, secession Is
ot what we need, we should Insist
hat all our officials be Alaskans and
hat Alaska's resources are taxed suf
Iciently to furnish her the money for
ier needs. Just why a man should
ie allowed to take our tlsh, and our
upper, and our furs, and pay no tax
o the territory, is beyond our con
ception.

HOPE FOR BRITAIN.
(Seattle P.-I.)
Even though the central powers
nave advanced their war Interest
somewhat at the expense of the allies,
the issue of the war Is yet far from
being decided, and with the growing
bulk of Britain's army and the preser
vation intact, and even strengthening,
of its tremendous sea power, the final
decision Is in as much in doubt as ever.
This conclusion is made reasonable
through the recent statement of Pre
mier Asquith before the house of com
nons In which the premier Indicated
that Great Britain had been able tc
enlist, equip and place in the field ap
proximately 2,000,000 soldlerB, while
the allied forces on the west front
held off Qermany and Its great war
power for fifteen months. This Is the
great achievement of the allies, and to
the minds of many transcends In im
portance any victory that the central
powers have been able to gain in the
field.
From the standpoint of the allies,
Great Britain has room for brighter
hope than its public feeling evidences
During a period when German wfar
power was at its highest point, and
Great Britain at Its lowest, the allies
have been able to escape national ex
tinction, and, in a measure, to hold
practically all of their national boun
daries, except in the case of Russia.
England has a million and one-half
more soldiers in the field than a year
ago. Much blood and brawn have been
lost by all the armies, but If the meas
ure of power be men, the allies have
three times the strength of population
that the central powers have to draw
from
France has stood like a rock. Its
patrotlc army has been a marvel of
courage and persistence. No army.
indeed, has lacked courage. What
need has been evident has been in lack
d preparation and equipment and in
the discipline of the war power.
Time has been th » greatest Tiend of
the allies and the greatest enemy of
ne central powers Perhaps the sec
ond year of war may relieve the pres
ent stress upon the British public mind

per year but this has now been in- i
creased greatly and at the present
time one factory alone Is turning out

also ^completely reorganized the air
service and it is now operated as an
independent service and not as a

with the teguiar military commanders.
