NOME, ALASKA. MARCH 22, 1917.
This h;u is she greatest disaster that
hns overtaken the United Jitates since
slavery and secession forced an appeal
to arms.
It has divided the citizenship ot the
country as it has not been divided
since Appmattox. It has nullified the
work of half a century in the way of
absorbing ininugi ition Into a body of
ceitizenship with common aims and
common objects and common ideals. It
has menaced us with another civil war.
It has forced upon us a policy of
military preparation which would have
been deemed unthinkable three years
ago and the consequences of which no
man is wise enough to foresee.
We have been compelled to adopt
a programme of naval construction
which will make us at least second
in sea power and which might compel
us to exert all our energies to make
ourselves first in sea power. It is driv
ing us toward a policy of army organ
ization which seems certain to result
in compulsory military training and
may necessitate compulsory military
■service.
What the future political effect of
such a jiolicy may be we cannot know.
It may revolutionize our republican in
stitution in spite of ourselves1 It may
tear us from ancient moorings upon
which all the safeguards of the re
public have been believed to depend.
We are obliged, as well, to consider
a complete abandonment of our cen
tury-old policy against entangling al
liances and for the sheer protection
of civilization make ready to throw
all our resources into a world-wide
coalition to maintain peace by the brute
power of overwhelming force. What
is to become of the Monroe Doctrine
we can only surmise.
Jn the more immediate aspects of
the conflict the danger steadily in
creases that we, too will be drawn
into the war despite all our effort*
to maintain (neutrality. Vet our
friends among the allies, and in par
ticular the Eritish seem to regard
it as an impertinence that we should
show any anxiety about what is
going on in Europe, that we should
desire to know what each belligerent
is fighting for and that we should
presume to ask it there is any com
mon ground uron which a permanent
peace could be discussed. To an Am
erican anxious for the future of the
republic and its Institutions, the Lon
don attitude toward President Wil
son’s request for information is one
of tho most amazing developments
of the conflict.
We do not ask the combatants to

make peace. Wo merely ask each
side exactly for what objects it is
making war. We ask this because if
the war continues much longer, :hor»
is a growing possibility of our being
dragged in against either the central
powers or the entente. We cannot
tight against one side without auto
matically fighting for the other side
and that side's objects. It is essen
tial, therefore, tht we' should know
what those objects would be. If we
fought against the central powers on
some just provocation of our own,
should we be incidentally also fight
ing for the altruistic aims of a re
stored Belgium and Serbia and north
ern France, for an end to militarism
and an organized machinery to en
force enduring pear ? Or should we
be fighting primarily to conquer Con
stantinople for Russia Alsace and
Lorraine for France, the Trentino fo>
Italy, the German colonies and Ger
man trade for Great Britlan, and war
indemnties for all these nations?
If we fought against the entente
on some just provocation of our own,
should we be incidentally fighting for
the mere Integrity of the Teutonic
empires, for the right of the German
people to live under the political sys
tem ana dynasty whicn tney them
selves prefer, for the succor of Greec
from allied oppression and for the
protection of Turkey from allied dis
memberment, for partial disarmament
which included British naval power
as well as German military power,
for the freedom of the seas, for the
spontaneous liberation of German in
stitutions, and for no more than these
objects? Or should we be fighting
to keep Belgium and Serbia perma
nently under Teutonic rule, to add
more of France and Russia to the
conquests of the central powers, to
make Germany the mistress of the
seas as well as of the continent, to
make autocracy more despotic than
ever and militarism more ramnant?
We want to know not in glittering
generalities but in accurate detail,
to what extent the allies are still
fighting for unselfish principles or
whether those principles may have
become subordinated to selfish lust
for vengeance an ggrandizement. We
wnt Jto know -to what extent the
central powers re still fighting for
the arrogant ambitions with which
they started t' ■_ war, or whether these
vi 1 motives have been chastened into
a mere desire of self-preservation.
We want to know whether we, too.
must begin the mobiization of all
our resources and prepare for the
worst.
That is why President Wilson's
questions are neither academic nor
impertinent.—New Fork World
