NOME, ALASKA, NOV. 2, 1915. I
Judging from the announcements^
form Uashington. relative to the sink
ing of the liner liesperion, the Germans
are, to use the common phrase, "in
had" again through their insistence
that the liner was not destroyed by a
suomarine torpedo. It turns out that
the government has secured fragments
of tlie war engine which sent the big
passenger ship to the bottom and pro
nounces them unquestionably portions
of a submarine torpedo and belong not
to a mine or other destructive agency
of that nature. Germany has all along
claimed that she had nothing
to do with the destruction
of the vessel and has been
most insistent that such destruction
was the work of a mine and not of her
submarines. Of course, in the absence
of proofs as to who fired the torpedo,
the fragments of which were found in
the stricken vessel, we must listen to
the German contention as to her non
culpability but at the same time we
cannot help but feel that some one is
"putting something over’’ on us when
it is proven that the agency which de
stroyed the vessel was the very tiling
that Germany has taken great pains to
point out that it could not be. It
looks mightily like some one has been
doing a little falsifying some where.
Germany cannot in justice be held re
sponsible on the showing of our naval
experts, for tire government may be
perfectly sincere in its protestations of
not knowing anything about the fatal
ity or the reason therefor hut at the
same time it is clear that the Hesperion
was torpedoed and some one must have
done it The question is, who?
In the rapidly shifting panorama of
events composing the great war drama
of Europe one is apt to lose sight of
the fact that what appeared to be about
to become one of the most important
factors in determining the final issue,
the submarine war, has been com- |
pletely cast into the background and is j
at present all but forgotten. Yet at the j
commencement it appeared probably I
the foremost menace that Britain had |
to face in maintaining her supremacy j
of tlie seas. Britain herself accepted it
as a joke, “a paper blockade," but such j
acceptance was but natural as it has j
been the British attitude in a greater
of lessor degree toward practically
every phase of the war until recently
when the true nature of the peril the
nation was facing suddenly dawned
upon its people. Yet, In spite of the
British attitude, it was ultimately
proven to he a very serious joke If
measured in the terms of sacrificed
lives and destroyed property and Bri
tain paid a heavy price for her levity
before it was done. At the present
time she has apparently suceeeded in
driving the German hornets from the
sea and can probably afford to laugh
at the discomfiture of her enemies but
at the same time her glee must be of
a rueful character for Germany is
undeniably very much ahead of the
game in the things that count. Ger
many has lost, according to the British
'statements, some sixty or seventj
vessels with a total of six or sever
hundred lives but to offset this she hai
piled up a record of several hundrei
!! vessels sent to their doom while th<
j sacrificed lives will reach into the thou
sands. The balunce of ravor is unde
1 niably Germany's. The submarine;
have uow been driven from the sea;
but at the same lime ihey have provei
one of the most powerful agencies it
marine warfare ever employed by mat;
and the lessens their activities have
taught will continue to live long after
the memories of the present conflict
huve been forgotten. Through the years
to come the submarine vesels will con
tinue to be a most important factor in
naval warfare and tiie naval develop
ments of tbe future will be shaped by
the lessons of the so-culled "submarine
war." So serious is the menace of
those mysteriously moving craft that
the very structure of future warships
will be shaped to meet the possibilities
possessed by them and with the de
velopment of their capacities will come
an added need for tile naval desiguer
of the future to plan his larger wur
Iships so that they will be able to meet
und offset their activities. Thus, in a
great sense, the submarine will con
tinue to be one of the most important
factors in sea fighting, perhaps for cen
turies. As a method of maintaining an
active blockade where the area to be
covered Is not excessively great they
ale probably the most effective agent
ever developed. Working smoothly
and silently und almost unseen they
will at all times be a menace to larger
wur craft and one that cannot but be
feared because of the peculiur nature
of their functions.
THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA.
Elihu Hoot.)
"We wish for no victories but those
of peace; for no territory except our
own, for no severeignty except the
sovereignty over ourselves. We deem
the independence and equal rights of
the smallest and weakest member of
the family of nations entitled to as
much respect as those of the greatest
empire, und we deem the observance
of that respect the chief guaranty of
.lie weak against the oppression of the
strong. We neither claim nor desire
tny rights or privileges or powers that
we do not freely concede to every
American republic. We wish to in
crease our prosperity, to extend our
.rude, to grow in wealth, in wisdom,
ind in spirit, but our conception of the
true way to accomplish tills is not to
pull down others and profit by their
■ uin, but to help all friends to a com
mon prosperity ana d common growth,
■hat we may all become greater and
stronger together.”

BUDDHA’S TEACHINGS.
(Gospel of Buddha.)
"The Enlightened One" saw the four
noble truths which point out the path
that leads to Nirvana, or the extinction
of self:
“The tlrst noble truth Is the exlst
lence of sorrow. Birth is sorrowful,
l illness is sorrowful and death is sor
rowful. Sud it is to be joined with that
| which we do not like. Sadder still is
the separation from which we love, and
t painful is the craving for that which
'cannot be obtained. The second noble
itruth is tile cause of suffering. The
cause of suffering is lust. The sur
rounding world affects sensation and
begets a craving thirst, which clamors
lor immediate satisfaction. The illu
sion of self originates and manifests
itself in a cleaving to things. The de
, sire to live for the enjoyment of self
entangles us in the net of sorrow.
I Pleasures are the gait, and the results
i pain. The third noble truth is the
cessation of sorrow. lie who conquers
self will be free from lust. He who
| no lunger craves, and the flame of de
|sire finds no material to feed upon.
,Thus it will be extinguished. The
fourth noble truth is the eightfold path
that leads to the cessation of sorrow.
There is salvation for him whose self
disappears before truth, whose will
is bent upon what he ought to do,
whose sole desire is the performance of
his duty, lie who is wise will enter
this path and make an end of sorrow."
• * •
The eightfold path is (1) right com
prehension, (2) right resolution, (3)
right speech. (4) right adts, (5) right
way of earning a livelihood, <«! right
efforts, (7) right thoughts, (S) right
state of a peaceful mind This is the
truth. This is religlog
