NOME, ALASKA. JULY 18, 1916.
Although countless manifestations
of mighty changes in the long accept
ed order of things are daily spread
before us in the rapid wihrl of world
ly events, not many of us stop to re
thct (111 the effects that may he pro
duced. Most of us are so busy watch
ing tin dizzying rush that we do not
think do not understand that Time,
the great architect of mundane things
is busier, much busier, than usual;
that, like the potter, he is moulding
from the clay of the world, new and
strange things on a swiftly whirling
wheel fashioned of nights and days and
weeks an,I innniu.. foul i.f »»« or,,"
pause to speculate of the wondrous
things lie may be shaping as the fly
ing wheel goes round. Seldom do any
of us remember that we arc witness
ing the most monumental events that
have occurred since the earth was
peopled. Fewer still realize that we
are living in whot may lie justly
termed the greatest epoch making po
lled in the world's history. Yet, when
one reflects it may be clearly seen I
that the events now occurring arc
shaping new destinies for humanity
and tin world. \Vo have already wit- j
nessed the marvelous effects produced '
by the war on nations and individuals
far removed from the great conflict.
Wo have seen the whole course of
earthly events jarred from accustom
ed channels and forced to accommodate j
themselves to new courses.
W'e have learned that nations, no I
less than individuals, are so depend
ant upon one another, so inextricably
bound to one another with unseen,
though none the less indissoluable
bonds, that great national develop
ments in the one cannot but, in some
degree, affect Ihe others. A great na
tional calamity happening to one na
tion spreads an ever widening ripple
of ( ft et, like the stone cast upon the ;
bosom of a placid pool, which even- !
tua 11> reaches the utmost bounds of |
earth, affecting each nation in great
or less degree as it passes.
To continue the comparison, it may !
I"- said that the great war Is the j
largest stone that has ever been cast
into the sea of human affairs. Noth
ing s ue. perhaps, the flood of Bibli
cal lore, has so seriously affected the
"hi,|i iaci of men. Centuries of do
ing ha.a bein undone; thrones and
not I a.s have trembled. The tradi
tions ot ges have been unsettled, the
thoughts and beliefs by which man has
guided Ins course fur ages have been
disturbed, uprooted and discarded. The
whole trend of human ideas has
changed and will probably change
still more. It is not to be imagined
that his change is temporary; that it
will not endure, that it will not affect
the future more than the present.
The world will never again return

to where it was before. Humanity
will not resume the old, accustomed,
order if thought or habit when the
war is done. Out of this great inter
national cataclysm has sprung a new
order of things of which we can even
now catch the first faint glimpses.
N'ew ideas have been born, new
thoughts have been unleashed, new
impulses have been created. Man
1ms been shaken from his long placid
ity and cannot again return to his old
state until some distant day. Nations
and governments, perhaps the hardest
tilings in the world to change, must
inevitably yield to the new impulses
that have come to man. The w.ar may
not change immediately the physical
boundaries of the nations but it has
set in train causes which may pro
duce greater effects that the blows
of sharpened steel and eventually
bring greater changes In the national
boundaries of the world than were
ever shaped by the sword. A revolu
tion is occurring, an upheaval of hu
man thought, that will be felt for ages
to come—perhaps as long as mankind
shall endure. The causes that are
every day occurring under our very
eyes are shaping the mile stones of
the future anil changing the face of
the world.
We see it not, this giant force,
springing from the midst of blood
and slaughter, but it is there, over
powering in its might and pregnant
with many things to shape the future
of humanity and the world.
