NOME, ALASKA, APRIL 2, 1917.
This afternoon front the far-away
town of Candle, in the valley of the
Kewalick, there slowly wended their
way up the slopes of the desolate
snow-covered hillsides, a little group
of men and women bowed under the
weight of a great sorrow-stricken by
the blow of a terrible tragedy. They
were the friends of Bobby Brown who
gathered in that bleak spot, covered
deeply by the white pall, to pay him
the last tribute left to pay-the tribute
of tears and tender memories.
There were no sunny skies, no
blamy breeze, no blooming flowers, to
soothe aching hearts, and to suggest
immortally by the coming of Spring,
after the long darkness and dreari
ness of Winter; But on" thing there
was to suggest such a thought-the
feeling an l knowldge that thj name
and example of such a mat as Dolby
Brown will live forever as an Inspira
tion in the hearts of those who knew,
respected and loved him.
Crushed and broken, tortured ut
most beyond the point of endurance,
his reply to the anxious inquiries of
those who made so bravo an effort to
take him from Dime to Candle for
medical aid, was typical of ilie man,
it was the key-note of his philsophy
of life-'lt's up to me boys"-And his
heroism will go down in the annals of
the North; for though in the c-nd, na
ture conquered human nature, in his
supreme struggle to live for those
who so sorely needed him, he showed
always unfalterng courage red an
unbroken will to do what was "up to
him” to do, whether it was in the full
strength of his splendid, noble man
hood, or in the last, losing Pght with
Death.
The monarch whose dynasty is
founded upon a domineering militar
ism, and without whose assent the
carnage now devastating Europe
would not have been entered m>on ,1s
at least consistent in his latest ex
pressions of egotism and blood lust.
A few weeks ago Emperor William
proposed peace negotiations on behalf
of "a Germany conscious of victory."
lie has since been informed that peace
is to be had only on the basis of a
recognition by Germany of the wick
edness as well as the failure of its at
tempt to reduce a continent to sub
jection. Construing the demands of
the entente powers for reparation and
guarantees as "a rough rejection of a
sincere act of conciliation,” the em
peror spoke for all his military
astraps, no doubt, when, at his birth
day celebration, he once more urged
upon his subjects the efficacy of the

sword.
If the Inter boasting and canting
was also the voice of the people of,
Germany and Austria-Hungary peace!
is far away. Everything that has
been said on the subject of late shows
that, as ‘.he military caste by which
Germany is ruled brought on the war,
there can be no true peace until that
intolerable menace shall have been
disciplined either by Germany itself
or by the enemies of Germany. Every
aim of the entente powers as tvently
set forth, and every ideal of future
peace as visualise!* by President Wil
son led logically to the inducement
of the Prussian system .Obviously, the
humanizing and ci\ilizing of that sys
tem, if it could he brought about of
its own volition, would be for all the
warring nations not only the easiest
but the surest wa> to a lasting peace.'
Of this tile head of the system offers
no promise.
Wedded to his rapacious war gods I
and without tlie vision to perceive
the meaning of the danger signals that
confront him at home and abroad,
Emperor William has lost the great
opportunity presented to him by the |
president. Many loyal delegations of
subjects and allies have dutifully as
sured him of their unswerving devo
tion, but millions for whom no one
speaks are in distress, and as time
passes they will not fail la note more
and more clearly that the monstrous
delusion which brought this calamity
upon Europe is that which now with
pious and patriotic words urges# a
prolongation of the agony chiefly for
its own preservation.
A kaiser capable of profiting by
mistakes and as devoted to tiis peo
j pie as to his dynasty and his sabre
rattlers would have improved this
birthday ceremonial by seeking an
honorable peace, ns necessary to him,
in spite of Ids braggart airs, as to any
of his foes, A Germany not wholly
given over to idolatry of llie war
makers as is shown by Maximlian
Harden's renewed eulogy of President
Wilson, may yet bo beard i onri ssive
a Hohenzollern peace,
If wo cannot hope for a more en
lightened kaiser, a new and a better
Germany is still a possibility. There
will have to he one or the other be
fore the end of ill s conflict will lie
in sight. New York World.
There will be little dispute in the L'ni- j
ted States* over the statement of Howl i
Bryce that the expulsion of (he Tur
kish power from Europe is ‘long
over duo." It is overdue by reason
of manifest misgoverninent. It is
overdue on the principle of national
ties, of which the nations at war are
vying in neceptanci . now that Presi
dent Wilson has called the tune. '
"The Turks arc not.” as Lord Bryce
says, "a nation at all, in the proper
sense of the word,” but "a small con
quering tribe." Polygamy and con
slant Wars have kept them from mul
tiplying. In Constantinople and the
si rip ot land along the Bosporus, the
Dardanelles and the sea of Mortnora
the Alosh-m population is supposed to
hi about to per cent of the whole;
but tbe Moslems are not all Turks.
Many arc Arabs and Kurds, some
Greeks, some 1’omak Bulgarians, with
a representation of other races.
No other race numbers in the dis
puted strip even as many as the
Turk. The Creeks may have IS or 20
per cent, the Armenians nearly as
many (lie .lews 5 per cent. Bulgar
ians are a negligible element on the
coast, and Russians figure ill the
"scattering" column ,or as Russian
A i men bins.
It is easy tu say that the Turk
must gel out of Kurupe. But that
is far from saying that the Russian
with an insignifieent local popula
tion. should control the trade outlet
of seven Panubiau nations. I, old
Bryce himself does not set forth os
desirable ibis solution of the problem.
If to cut off Canada mole effectually
from the sea the Gorman navy were
tu plant mines along our coast out
side the Itireo mile limit and Berlin
were to announce that the area was
"dangerous to shipping” we should
have a home parallel to the present
situation in the North sea.
To stiul off Germany the British
admiralty gives notice of danger to
shipping, meaning mines, not only otf
tin German coast but along seventy
miles of Dutch and fifty miles of Dan
ish soil. W ithin those limits not only
Dutch and Danish ships but those of
other ting's must risk sinking or keep
wthm the three mile limit.
Neither side spares the feelings or
has regard for the rights of neutrals.
After volunteering respect for the
Declaration of l.omlon, which in it
self is not international law, Ger
many complained ^ha.l the en‘4jite
encroached on neutrals, and on Feb
ruary is, 1915, gave warning of the
"submarine blockade.” The sinking of
the Falaba with one American fol
lowed on March 2s; of the J-usitnnla
with many Americans on May 7. The
British countered with a closer grip
on trade, which was no more a true
blockade than that of the nations to
check the transfer of goods to Ger
many. Move and countermove con
tinue. each side blaming the other for
the cruel necessity it was under of
breaking layv or flouting comity.
The British attorney general, Sir
F. K. Smith, gravely rebuking Presi
dent W ilson for seeking "freedom of
the seas," says it is Britain's aim to
display "the most tender considera
tion" for the rights and even the con
venience of neutral* How tender
that regard is in fact the danger sig
nals of the admiralty give stern no
tice.
