NOME, ALASKA, NOV. 12, 1915.
With the sinking of tiie liner An
cona, another great sea fatality involv
ing the destruction of women and chil
dren and other innocent lives has been j
added to the Jong list of inexcusable
atrocities for which the Teutonic al
lies are responsible, and has further
confirmed the long accepted view of the
world that the Germanic nations have
little or no regard for the moral or
humanitarian aspects of their actions
so that they result in the injury of their
enemies. This view has not become a
matter of fixed belief through occas
ional or isolated instances wherein
some particularly brutal inclination
was manifested but is rather the cul
mination of a series of acts, involving
the destruction of innocent lives, but
few of which contained the least par
ticle of justification on the score of
military necessity; which alone can
justify an action wherein the innocent
and harmless are visited with the hor
rors and brutalities of war.
This ruthless and savage barbarity,
so strangely irreconcilable with the
usual outward manifestation of the
German nature, has found expression
not alone in the sinking of ships load
ed with harmless neutrals but has also
been displayed with startling vivid
ness in the many aerial attacks on
towns in France and Britain whose
partial or complete destruction could
in no degree affect the issues of the
moment or the determination of the
war and where the prospect of death
and injury which was logically bound
follow such actions fell largely upon
those whose destruction could avail
nothing at all in deciding the outcome
of the great military struggle—-women
and children. Two after town has been
atacked and hundreds of lives sacri
ficed for no other reason than what
the Germans have termed "the moral
effect produced." Women and inno
cent habes. have been torn and dis
membered by the blasting shock of
bombs and grenades merely because of]
a desire to produce an impression which
it is futilely believed would tend to
destroy the moral fiber of the enemy.
This fact is openly admitted by Ger
man military leaders who at the saxpe
time acknowledge the futility of their
aerial operations as determining fac
tors in the game of war.
In nearly every case where a town
has been atacked by the Zeppelins the
larger portion of the victims have been
those who by all moral and ethical
rules should be held absolved for the
acts which engender international strife
or., lmtred. What part have women
and children in determining or hinder
ing the issues which lead to war or
what Dart do they play in deciding
the final issue? None whatever. The
best that war can bring to them is
t'itf and suffering whatever may he
tlte results Sorrow and heartache Is
their portion be the struggle great or
-mali, near nr remote and the man or
men who can deliberately visit upon
them its most dreadful effects save in
the course of desperate military neces
sity is convicted of the most brutal
savagery and barbariantsm. Germany
openly admits that the air bombard
ments are of no concrete value in de
ciding the war, that they have no re
sults which may be looked upon as
vital to the enemy's cause and thereby
confesses that such acts are a wanton
and Inexcusable destruction of life and
property which should shame any but
the most benighted savages. That the
innocent and helpless should be com
pelled to suffer In the path of march
ing armies is bad enough but that they
should be deliberately sought out and
made victims when far removed front
the seat of war for no other reason
than that a doubtful mental effect might
be produced savors of a ruthless bar
barity which places the perpetrators
beyond the pale of civilized regard
