NOME, ALASKA, MAY 26, 1915.
That great hearted kindliness so
characteristic of the men and women
of the Northland has again displayed
itself in the case of the unfortunate
engineer of the Corwin, .1. R. Jackilng,
who lost a lower limit a short time
prior to the arrival of the vessel at
Unimak Pass. We are told in terse
sentances. containing not the least
trim that the gift was anything out of
the ordinary, that tw> hundred dollars
was subscribed for the unfortunate
man before the little vessel departed
from Unalaska, all of whieh was con
tributed by the passengers and crew.
While two hundred dollars is not a
large sum, be it remembered that it
was the gift of a few' people, the ma
jority of whom are dependant on days
labor for support. This open lianded
kindness on the part of people, of
whom hut few have an assured in
come, deserves the fullest measure of
praise and we would that we were
worthy of the task of eulogizing their
tinhle hearted generosity, hut, as the
expression of the just measure of praise
due is beyond our limitations, we ran
hut remark that it was grand and
noble, hut nt the same time it must
ire said that expressive as was that
gift of whole souled kindness and com
passion for suffering and affliction, it
was but one of many instances wherein
the people of the North have displayed
a most superlative kindliness and
charity for the unfortunate and dis
tressed. We believe that nowhere on
this beautiful earth is the "milk of hu
man kindness” more susceptible of dis
play than among the people of this
great broad land of the North, the ma
jority of whom seem to have inbibed
something of the spirit of bigness and
broadness pervading the wrido domain
in which they dwell I.et but a hint of
sickness and suffering, sorrow or dis
tress, lie forthcoming and there are
always numberless hands ready to help,
to comfort and alleviate. And, kindliest
charity to all, it is seldom that little
or any regard is paid to social condi
tion, and the lowly and humble are
as welcome sharers in the genorosity of
the Northern people as are those of
higher rank and station. Not that we
believe that social lines are not as
rigidly drawn as elsewhere, but it has
been demonstrated time and again that
in answer to the appeal of suffering
and distress, caste distinctions are
usually forgotten and in the display of
that noblest of all human virtues both
rich and poor unite, glad to help, and
•
[glad to give. In seeming recognition of
'the fact that each and every one of us
'are. after all. made of much the same
day and subject to the same misfor
tunes and afflictions, regardless of the
height to which we climb And, it may
! be that there is something in the very
air of the North which leads to an.
cihups. uneoncious recognition of the
common heart beat pulsing through all
human kind which may, in a measure,
account for the readiness of the North
ern people to open their hearts and ^
pocket hooks In response to the cry of
misfortune. Whatever may he the
reason, the fact cannot he doubted in
the face of the unnumbered illustra
tions of Northern generosity which
come to light at varying intervals even
as it was manifested In the cnse of ttie
unfortunate voting man, .tackling
______ _
The marvelous resourcefulness of j
Germany In military matters is again j
illustrated in her employment of gas |
bombs in the assaults against intrenoh
■ cd positions held liv the enemy While j
vve hear lull little and only at intervals, j
concerning ttie use of those missiles.
3 it is indicated in the brief references
3 contained in the war dispatches that
r I Germany has not onlv discovered a
i; new Instrument of warfare, but is us-j
ling it with deadly effect against her
foes As yet w> are not aware of the
I exact nature of these seemingly revo
ijluttonarv instruments, but whether
they kill or merely stupify the un
fortunate soldiers who are compelled to j
I inhale their noxious fumes, it is evi- j
dent tluit the enemy are inclined to1
have a most wholesome respect fori
j their capacity to jeopardize ttie safety
, iif those against whom they are em
| ployed and it lias been directly inti
mated that the allies are so impressed
with their effectiveness that they are
preparing to follow I he German lead
by employing bombs of similar nature:
in their own operations, liven as lini-I
. union is the slncerest flattery, the fact
i that the enemies of Germany are in- j
. tending to follow her lead in the use
i of gas bombs, is the most powerful at
, testation as to their value as an agency
i j of war. On at least three distinct
occasions the British war reports
ascribe the success of the German of
fensive to the employment of these
bomba, notably in ttie recent attempt of
the Germans to cut their way to Palais
and also ,n the operations east of Ypres
reported yesterday, if, as the many
indication suggest, this new method of
pltccvns vhe enuny hors da combat, Is ,
to become a factor in the fletertnlna-j
tion of the great struggle, it is clear
■ that we must credit Germany with a
discovery of a military value, as start
ling as are her gigantic siege guns and
the development attained in submarine
construction, both of which have, had
’ an almost revolutionary effect on mod
1 ern warfare.
