NOME. ALASKA, DEC. 21, 1916.
The peace proposals say nothing
about evacuating Greece. Probably
it isn't n.cessury as the allies will
doubtless be glad to get out of that
mess as soon as they can without loss
of dignity.
The Mexicans are now demanding
that the Lnited States shall return
General Comaduran to the Carran
zistas 30 that they may shoot him for
desertion. They have pleasant cus
toms down there, as well as queer
notions of the rights of asy lum.
We have not been to the movies
much in our short life, but within
thp space of three mon.h3 we have
seen iauy Arbuckle married no less
than eleven times. Usually there are
no witnesses and perhaps that is why
lie geis out of it and tries it again so
quickly.
The German allies did most of the
winn.ng anod yet they are forced to
sue for peace. Curiously the force
that thwarted German ambition never
had a major battle with her. British
sea power was around 1 or though
mighty, mostly invisible, and always
throttling her. It saved the allies
from defeaL
When Joffre was the French chief
of staff he was often interviewed by
war correspondents who did all the
talking while the general nodded his
head thoughfully from time to time.
The chances are that he has done some
talking in the past few day3. If he
hasn’t he will doubtless write a book
like Kuroputkin and tell the world
what his plans were and why they
were not executed. It is pretty tough
to get to the top of the ladder and then
get pushed off.
The terms Germany now offer seem
on their face to be most humiliating
from Germany’s point of view. For
one instance, take her changed atti
tude towards Belgium. Boon after
occupying that country the imperial
government announced that the cap
tured territory had been made an
integral part of the empire, that it
would never be given up. Surely it
was Germany’s intention at that time
to hold her prize, it must now be a
blow to her pride to thus reverse Ijer
plans in plain view of all the world. Of
course, Germany knows, as does all
the world, that the relinquishment of
Belgium Is absolutely necessary in
order to persuade the English bull dog
to let go. The invasion of B igum
was Britain's pretext for entering the
war and she w’ould never stop light
ing until this point at least should
have been gained. There are doubt
lesr many other demands England
will make but for the most part they
will probably center around the mat
ter of Belgium's violation. For in
stance when England urges that the
mcnuce of Prussian militarism shall be
forevere removed, she Is demanding
that all possibility of another inva
sion of Belg.an territyry shall be made
impossible.
Tlie whole question of peace Is so
great that it staggers the imaginaRon

heard only of the major actions and
quite likely we shall learn alter a
while that many of the most impor
tant happenings havf never been
made public at all.
The subject of peace has btv.t
broached. Supposing after a series of
diplomatic exchanges of views a fot
mal conference of all belligerents is
agreed on, peace Will not necessarily
be the result. Conflicting demmis
may seem possible of settlement only
on the battlefield. Though naturally
omc the trend of world thought is
turned toward peace, the end of *he
war is most probable. Even then
If peace is decided on in broad terms
it is unlikely that the armies will be
withdrawn from the field for many
months and possibly years. And even
after the soldiers have returned home
there will doubtless be questions .ins
ing out of the war that will require
five, teD or twenty years before th ;y
are finally settled.
And the atvrul aspect of the whole
matter as it mnv seems destined to
turn out is lliai peace Will uesc-ml
on a bleeuing Europe wuuout any
pticepuble gum tor Humanity in ex
change tor six million ol her Strong
est men siu.n, ana twelve million
wouttued, some of them so that they
are a burden to themselves and the■ r
people.
The war ha3 cost the people of
Europe a terrible price and yet the
pet pie did not want the war. It was
put upon their shoulders and they
bore their burden. And they will keep
on bearing it. Apparentij it oceu-s
to only a few of them to do their 0'*-n
governing. Why civilized p.ople should
delegate the power to declare war ,s
beyond comprehension.
BERNHARDT'S VISIT.
The spoken drama is to receive some
much needtd encourag ment and *•?
vival of initiest in the visit to this
country of Mme. Sarah Bernhartt,
wao ermes to utilize her great art in
pr-cluing funl> for th, relief of the
suffering soldiers of France.
i'ublio interest will be keenly stimu
lated by Mme. Bernhardt's vis;t.
Sir.ee her last uppearance in America
she has become crippled in limb, hut
she has lost none of the fire of her
art, nor her great dramatic ability.
She has made successful public ap
pearances in France since her hospital
experience and has visited the war
zone and brought the drama to the
soldiers in the trenches.
She is working now for her country,
and at some personal cost to her
comfort of mind and body. It is fit
ting close to a great career. Fran :e
has done much for the great artist
ami now she is repaying that debt.
The Bernhardt visit will renew in
terest in the egc-d star's personality,
and materially benefit her soldier
countrymen.
