NOME, ALASKA, FEB. 23. 1917.
Il IS said tlial Uerm.in medical men
. t11 giving opposing advice, as some
times occurs in America among our
es'eemed physicians, on tin proper
w: y to make the limited war ration
•f meat go the farthest. One school
of doctors who should 1 n called duhs
advises bolting the meat in unchewed
chunks on the ground that this nu’h
ad will tend to allay hunger most ef
fectively. The other school urges
that the meat should be Fletcherized
to a degret of fineness not commonly
ol 'alned thus gaining for the body all
il e nutrimi nt and thereby assuaging
hunger to the utmost limit.
Collier's Weekly has not improved
its fiction nor its use of English since
Mark Sullivan succeeded Norman
tlapgood as editor. In fact in both
these respects Collier's stems to havi
retrograded. We hav. r ferred re
cently to some of the frightfully im
possible Alaskan stories that have
been printed h\ Collii i s. Now as an
illustration of the weird use of Eng
Ish by this national m.-.gazinc th
following is offered, "A white enamel
ed child's bed— pointed to Shaver as
th ■ occupier." We hate seen enamel
ed women on the stage and i Isewhere
4 who were fascinating but u ■■ doubt
that an enameled child would be as
attractive its a flesh, healthy one and
il is hard to imagine what kind of a
bed enameled child would have--pos
sibly it would lie of crockery.
The true sigmticence of President
Wilson’s advocacy of a league to en
force peace before a joint - -ssion of
congress was not that he proposed
anything new for the plan he urged
has been under consideration by
tli'nkers in both the old and new
world for considerably over a year.
Tv,e really important aspect of Mr.
Wilson's espousal of the proposed
league is that as-chief executive of
the United States he showed his will
itigiicss to depart from the tradi
tional and complete isolation which
has marked the policy of our coun
try from the beginning, Washingt on
warned l-is compatriots against in
U.ogling alliances, and his successors
m the presidential chair and others
in nigh positions in the government
have adhered to this— the policy- ali
ened by the first great exei u'ive.
Lincoln in his wisdom followed in t' e
steps of Washington .11 1 -fusing al
liances with Mb*. 1 govornme 1
though tm-y turnedf to oflfot ,nh-n
vanluges. And until the present tti •
United S'ates has stood in -pi -ulel
isolation. The eontbat now in prog
ress between two powerful alliances
of nations has served to show -li.it,
whatever tuny hive been true of 1 hi
pest, no nation run stand alone in
the future. Alliances for offence and
dolence have seemed *0 he the only
possible method of n taming 1 place
in the sun, and such alliances hive
been considered a necessity for the
advancement of commerce and trade.
The propoesd league to enforce peace
on all nations first by requiring all
disputes to be submitted to a high
international court and then enforcing
thj decrees of this court by the
s'length of all the contracting nalions
\
W'*uM do away with alliance.*, in all
piobability, and allow each nation to
develop along the tines best suited to
the temperament of its people and
the genous of its institutions. But
m becoming a party to such a h ague
America will cease to stand alone. We
huvt been forced by the h.ifcui of
destiny to abandon a policy which in
the light of the economic interdepend
ence of human beings is outworn and
antiquated. It will he remembered
that the senate wrangled long and
rl> ov an endui si ment of i he
president's proposal. It was not alone
politics that caused some of the ablest
senators to oppose the plan. They
ware merely clinging to tin hsitorieal
precedents of our country Alost of
them had been long in the harness
and their modes of thought and ac
tion hail been so moulded that it was
difficult for th« m to depart from the
beaten path. As it turned out the
United States is now committed to a
new policy when the war shall have
ruled, if the allies should prove \ ic
torious. And that policy is that our
country will take an acmr pun
world affairs. We will no longer ay
to stand alone for it will no longer
be possible K\ n if the war ends in
• draw, a world league is eminently
i be desir <1 by ill neutrals for should
tie re not be such a league, and the
two groat alliaiu > be still engaged
in i commercial war. ill neutral na
tions, including our own. would be
M' und to atoms in the struggle. Mr.
Wilsons’ appearance before congress
to advocate the endorsement of i
world league to enforc peace marked
;i new eia in American history, the
end of a long policy of splendid isola
tion nd tin t uu.mng of what may
possibly be a lasting foundation on
m > rest without
tear of a recurrence- of the grim spec
ter of war. Mi W.lsoa is fortunat.'
