City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST 30, 1915.
With Russia preparing a second
monster army for service in the Spring
and with the remaining allies hasten
ing every preparation for the manufac
ture of war munitions and in otherwise
preparing for further conflict, it is ap
parent that none of those nations have
the least notion of quitting the deadly
game, save in the event of the complete
and overwhelming defeat of one side or
the other. In face of the repeated Ger
man victories one cannot but wonder
at the spirit of intense determination
animating Russia and which leads her
to continue the mighty struggle against
such seemingly overwhelming odds.
Despite the unprecedented armies Hung
into the field over a year ago she has
been compelled to relinquish every ad
vantage gained in the weary months of
struggle; step by stop she has been
forced steadily backward until today
she is battling with the savage fury of
a cornered animal for existence itself.
It is truly a most convincing testimon
ial to tlie courage of her people that
they are willing to run the risk of fur
ther disasters. History contains no
parallel of the tremendous struggle that
nation has waged or the terrific de
feats it has been compelled to suffer at
the hands of tHo Teuton armies. Tiie
tremendous losses considered, it may
be said that Russia has suffered the
most gigantic defeat of all time. Up to
tiie present period the total of her hu
man losses is roughly estimated at
nearly five millions—a far greater
number than have fallen in any war
of which we have record. In addition
she has lost one of the most fertile sec
tions of her territory and the total area
wrested from her possession is, roughly
estimated, equal to almost one-fourtli
of the entire territory of either one of
her opponents. This in itself may be
said to constitute the greatest territor
ial loss suffered by any nation since the
all conqueoring days of Napoleon the
First. And the end is not yet. Hardly
u day of late that does not bring the
news of further disasters; of continued!
etreut before the overwhelming foe; of
nighty forts relinquished before as- j
vaults which can in no manner be
•heoked. of fallen cities and slaugh
tered thousands. It (Acquires a supreme
■ourage to stand up tinder such tremen
dous blows and in refusing to discon
inue che struggle the Russians are be
Iraying an overwhelming purpose—to
conquer or die. Russia could easily
retire from the conflict at the present
time without great loss of national
prestige and doubtless the mnjority of
nations would do so under like condi
tions. And yet it seems that shatter
ing disaster nnd nerve racking defeat
're alike unable to still the mighty de
termination to crush the foe regardless
if the cost or the prospect that the
enemy may hlmeslf prove the victor in
(he end. The ultimate end of such a
struggle Is hard to conjecture.
The war has opened practically all
industrial fields to the women of the
-nuntrles of Europe An American en
gineer says that the women who are
now employed In the Russian munition
factories, "working on lathes, drilling
machines, etc ." are showing that their
labor Is Just as efficient ns that of the
men they have replaced. In the Eng
lish munitions factories the employ
ment of women Is Increasing, nnd (here
they too are demonstrating a like effi
ciency. In Germany and to some ex
tent in England, likewise, women are
taking the places of men in the hand
Mng of street ear service. The employ
ment of women conductors is practi
cally universal and many are becom
ing efficient motor operations So
rapidly are women taking the places of
men in these employments that the
British national union of railway men
is openly expressing concern as to the
effect of women’s labor upon mascu
line employment after the war is over.
Bor another thing, the enlarged em
ployment of women in these various
capacities Is going a long way toward
solving the problem of keeping alive
the productive capacity of the nations,
no matter how large a percentage of
the men may he drafted ns food for
powder. The women have made this
year’s crops over a large share of con
tinental Europe, outside of the relative
ly small districts which are the im
mediate theatres of war. The pro
babilities are that, with the exception
noted, crops will be up to the usual
average. Tf there is a woman available
to take the place in industrial life made
caennt hv each man who goe to (he
rront, and there seems to he such a
woman to he found wherever needed,
one of the anticipated war problems is
nonexistent.—Ex.

FREEDOM OF SEAS
Though not so indignant as in the
protest against Germany's lawless de
struction of human life on the high
seas, American public opinion is
steadily gathering momentum for a
“call down" of Great Britain’s equally
lawless interference with neutral
property at sea.
“There is no doubt," says the Savan
nah News, “that Great Britain and her
allies, in their efforts to keep commo
dities note ontraband out of Germany '
Austria-Hungary and Turkey, and con
traband articles out of neutral coun
tries because they might find their way
into enemy countries, have disregarded
the regulations of international law,
much to the injury of this and other
neutral countries.” The News voices
widespread opinion when it adds:
"There is no good reason why neutral
nations should suffer heavily in their
trade because most of the nations of
Europe are at war with one another.
3reat Britain and her allies are acting
is if they thought they owned the seas.
3eeause they have sea power they-are
mposing upon .neutral nations in a way
:hat is intolerable.
“There is one thing that should be
Finally and forever settled at the end of
this war and that is that the seas shall
ul itii: tu commerce, no matter what
powers ur how many powers are at
war."
.Never before in history,” says the
i imago News, “lias tile duly so clearly
rested upon a single nation to uphold
the cause of civilisation by standing
(irmly for the preservation of interna
tional law and the well established
tignis of neutrals."
After noting the exceptional patience
with which American shipping interests
have borne unwarranted interferences:
and costly losses, the Louisville Cour- 1
let -Journal sums the whole issue up
ijy saying:
"If Great Britain would institute a
blockade of Germany she must blockade
German ports alone. In her blockade
of neutral ports she is proceeding with
out right, reason, justice or precedent.
This is the word of Washington to the
British government. It should be en
forced.

SOCIAL ADVANCE
a7i opinion widely prevalent a few
months ago was that the war would set
hack the cause of soclul legislation and
the progressive movement generally by
bringing to the front, with new empha
sis, considerations of greed.
After observing the tremendous
strides which the nations at war are
making toward state socialism—toward
inbllc control of the food and drink
supply, natural resources, banks, in
dustries; toward minute regulation of
human relations In the interest of
maximum collective efficiency — the
Fresno, Cal., Reputillcan is inclined to
predict that "Russia and America may
he the only two greatest nations which
will find themselves, after the war, liv
ing under the old economic system. Be
tween autocratic Russia and democratic
\mer1ca will stretch socialistic Europe
\nd then 'the world will try out the
three systems.”
The power of the state to move to
any extreme, in a crisis, for the public
defense, which is receiving Just now so
many striking demonstrations abroad
must, many publicists sny, after the
war raise anew in all countries the
luestlon: If the public good is para
mount in war. why should the special
interest have the ascendancy in peace?
Should this forecast he realized. In
stead of being set hack, social progress
will have been greatly enhanced by the
war—even In the United States, though
here perhaps not so swiftly or so dra
matically as in Europe.
