Ent-ered an aecond-clasa matter Feb,

March ’ 1S78.

NUMB. ALASKA, Jt!l,Y 1. 1M16.
With the release of the American
iroops captured in the recent clash be
low the border war is happily averted
lor the time being .and it is, theretore,
to be hoped that further trouble may
still be averted. The nation has been
perilously close to conflict—loo close for
one iti fail In acquiring in gome sort an
idea of just what war would mean.
U lien one sees the grim reality loom
ing Just before one's eyes, one can then
appreciate ils grisly aspects and realize
their awfillness. Many of us have seen
and will doubtless not deny the posses
sion of ti hope that circumstances or
conditions will nol again bring us to
the verge of conflict. Not that most
ol us do not feel that Mexico deserves
a good thrashing by way of punishment
for tire numerous insults and outrages
of which we have been ihe victims.
Whatever may be said in favor of tire
Mexicans, none will deny that they have
tu ted in a manner wholly indefensible
and richly deserve a hiding. On i lit*
other hand, war is a terrible thing, re
gardless ol whether one is conquered
or conqueror. How appallingly terrible
it may he only those who have wit
nessed it furies can tell. Those who
have gazed upon its horrors with a full
perception ol the reality speak of it in
solemn tones and subdued voices. The un
heeding nnd unthinking alone refer to
ii with lightness. Only those who tins
raced the grim god of war stalkinj; over
shot ploughed battlefields. who has
looked upon its writhing, mutilated vic
tims, seen the blood, the wounds, the
heaps of dead, and ghastly awfulness
can realize what ii means and one and
all agree that no thoughts can picture,
no words describe, what fearful thing
ii Is. Anu these, remember, have known
only a portion of its dreadful features.
Their knowledge is of the wounded, the
maimed anil dying, the miseries of camp
and march, the havoc and destruction of
shot and shell. They reek not of the
added pain and woes and want and mis
ery that lies behind the visible horrors
of the battlefield. They do not remem
ber that war's awfulness does not end
on the battlefield. The pain and misery
are not confined to the shot swept fields
where crashing missile and rending bomb
do their deadly work. Far beyond the
point where the plunging shot can strike
i r ihe roar of guns be heard, war's
horrors ure Inflicted. The shot that tears
away a human life upon the battlefield
often causes more woe and pain than
comes to him who perishes from its
shock.
More often than not the victim of the
battlefield is not the one who suffers
the most from crashing steel and burst
ing shell, in far off peaceful homes
and in ltic midst of tranquil scenes war's
horrors often fall with greater weight
than on the field. The dead do not suf
fer; wounds will heal but the pain of
broken hearts, of blasted lives, endures
not for days or weeks but for years.
When the warrior Is eo and unfeeling
clay, widows live to suffer and children
cry for bread. 'To these war does not
end when the trumpet calls have ceased,
when battle flags are furled and tri
umphs are over. Bereft of him who fell
upon the field .tranquility does not come
when peace returns hut pain and mis
ery linger on, saddening Innocent lives
and blasting the future of youth amt
maid. The veteran tidtiks not of these
things when lie tells you in lowered
tones that War Is hell." Did he see
snd realize all. he would, doubtless, say
that war is "Hell" multiplied a thou
sand fold or remain dumb with the hor
ror that sweeps his soul.
Could we realize but a tenth part K
what lies beyond the shrill bugle call
summoning the troops to battle, doubt
h ss none oi us but would sicken w ith
dread at the thought of war
Did we but realize war's terrors not
one of us but would voice the hope that
Mexico will reflect before again seeking
to light the flame that will cousunte tier
s'If and bring to us those untold things
which must inevitably follow a resort to
arms. >.e are not seeking war, do
not want it and, if it comes, it will be
thrust upon us. a brutal and unwelcome
ilitng which can give us nothing to atone
tor the miseries It will cause.
It is sincerely to he hoped that Mexico
will realize that we seek justice alone
In entering her territory and grant us
what we seek after more mature re
flection.
