Ge.-msny's decl&r't'wi of guerrilla
warfare cr the sere has precipitated
a new jd ase in the worl l war. Not
satisfi’! with her atrocities on lent,
she has decided to throw aside all
rules of naval warfar?, and to run
amuck, to stab blindly at any and all,
knowing no friend, holding no tradi
tion of civilization or humanity sacred
Germany has gone mad. Frothing
and now snapping in all directions,
she in all likelihood will or already
has incurred the wrath of the few
remaining neutral nations, and they
out of sheer need of protection of
their dignity and the highest ideals of
their nationhood, will be forced to
break off diplomatic relations.
In the state of hysteria in which
Germany finds herself, she will not
continue long the present status. Any
organism driven to an abnormal speed
soon exhausts itself, and then comes
the collapse.
No fighter rushes wildly In all di
rections, striking indiscriminately, save
one who has lost his head. When that
state Is reached, reasoning power has
departed, mastery is gone and only
depravity and panic remain.
The mad dog never is satisfied to
bite his enemies alone. In his last
febrile and frothy attacks he assails
even those who were innocent or even
had befriended him, and finally, In his
craze and madness, turns upon him
self, and dinks his virus-jioisoncd
fangs into his own flesh, bringing on
own self destruction.
Germany may use the flimsy excuse
for her indiscriminate sea outlawry
that Britain armed all merchant ships
for offensive purposes, but this pre
text will not assay Germany may
bring out great numbers of subma
rines, hut British and allied wits will
match the enemy on land or sea at
any time. Germany has reached her
limit on land, and soon the great
smash-in will come against her there,
and the time is not far distant when
likewise she will make her final spurt
on sea and be forced to send out her
surface fleet, which will disappear be
fore the British grand fleet like a dew

Germany may attempt to overrun
Holland and Switzerland and possi
bly other small border states in the
near future, but those states have
scented the Hun and have prepared
in no mean way, anil will have the
eo-operation and advantage of a tre
mendous simultaneous pressure by the
larger allied nations.
The noose is around the outlaw.
Now for the tightening pull. T,et all

I l PAYS TO BOOST.
There is probably no person in thei
world who does not value the appro
bation of his fellowmen and does not
desire their appreciation of his ef
forts. This is one of the most neces
; sary and valuable attributes of char
acter, because without it one .of the
greatest incentives to good work and
which will be of benefit to mankind
as a whole, would be gone. The de
sire for approbation is the foundation
of fame, perhaps of honor, and of
much effort. All this being true, it
follows that one should give approba
tion where It is due; and not only
approve but express the approval.
There is a story they tell of Big
Mike Sullivan’s inteview with Presi
dent Roosevelt some years ago. Big
Mike visited the president with n
prominent Alaskan, who introduced !
Mike ns being very familiar with the
situation at Nome. The president
presently asked. "How are you pleased
with the judge?” ’Fine,” said Mike;
"best judge in the land.” “How do you
like the marshal?” "Couldn't he
heat,” said Mike. "Are tile other of- i
fieiais satisfactory?” "Surest thing'
you know,” said Mike. "How are |
conditions generally?" “Best ever,” j
from Mike. "Well,” said Mr. Roose- |
velt, "you are the first man from Al
aska who ever visited me that did
not have a complaint of some sort to
make. How is that V” "Mr. President.”
said Mike, "did you ever work in a
gambling house?” “No. I never did.” J
“Well, Mr. President, I did, and there
they pay boosters seven dollars and ;
a half a day, hut a knocker only gets
the worst of it.”
I.ike Mike, we believe it pays to
boost—not to boast without some
foundation—not to boost indiscrimin
ately, but to boost heartily and sin
cerely where a boost ts due. A fail
ure may deserve a boost because of,
the intention to try. A partial success !
frequently deserves a boost: but there
are a class of people who look only
for the faults and discuss them. They
criticise only from the point of view
of the pessimist. Such criticism is fre
quently heard of our legislature and
Us acts. That our legislature has not
been perfect we freely admit. Its most
enthusiastic member would not claim
I
perfection for any of Us laws; but o:
the other hand, it has done many goor
things. It has taken initiative in sev
eral matters that the subsequent voti
of the people of Alaska shows meei
the approval of most of the people
It has not passed a single act thai
does not show an UUentlon to Improve
the situation, and Just at the presen!
i time, when it Is about to meet again
it seems fitting that the people of Al
aska appreciate their efforts. So far
as this paper ^s able to judge the feel
ings of this community, allowing for a
certain amount of honest criticism,
the community Is well pleased wUh its
legislature, and we may reasonably
expect even better things from it In
the future. Several of the laws have
been passed upon by the upper coutrs.
Well defined Ideas have been express
ed by the power that has the right of
determination ns to the limitations
that are contained In the enabling act
Such decision as the late decision of
Judge Bunnell ns to the eight hour
law h;ive pointed out possible defects,
and the legislators themselves have
learned much of the d verse nerds of
the diflfernt portions of Alaska,—Ruby
Reord.
