EITHER TEUTONS OR NOTHING.
I’rof. Rudolph Huch, the press in
forms us, is an article published in
the Tagliche Rundschau, on the "pro
gress of tlie higher development of
mankind" (!!) is convinced that ‘‘the
French are doomed n> perdition,” and
he feels himself "free from every
emotion" in that score, "Roth the Eng
lish and French mission to the world,”
he continues "has had its day. The
Rritish have prepared the soil on
which kulture can flourish. Rut to cre
ate kutlure was not in their power.”
thank God It was not! And then ths
c hoice lilt of blatent insolence, a per
fect gem, as a finale: "There arc races
which are incapable of attaining a
high humanity (sic) Incapable of in
fluencing the world. Such nations arc
destined to hew wood and draw wa
ter for the dominant nat'ions. If they
cannot fill this inferior office they
must perish.”
There you are! It is plain enough
The Germans are the only race capa
ble of ‘"attaiirtng a high humanity.'1
All other nations must choose between
"hewing wood and drawing water”
for them, "or perish.” Smplicity itself.
How much longer in the face of
Germany's utmost contempt for any
civilization not Teuton'ic, in the face
tit her absolute disregard of nil laws
human or divine, will some of the
leading American papers continue In
produce editorials in the form of an
appeal to the German government tc
"he good,” and not force the United
States Into a war? When will this
country understand there Is but one
thing that the Germans of today re
spect-force?— Ex.
"THEY SHALL NOt PASS."
I was said commonly during the first
two years of the war that n striking
ofattiro of the conflict was the ab
sence of great military personalities.

of censorship, to treat the dramatic
side of the war a* it was treated in
previous wars had much to do with
the subordination of personalities to
conditions, no doubt, but it seems
: probable that posterity, especially in
1 France, always will know Robert Ne
ville, and always will recall his now
famous “They shall not pass.”
This simple statement was made
by a French officer nearing three
score years who had not been con
spicuous before the war. It related
to, and replied the statement of the
Germans that they would take Verdun
and pass beyond the fortress. The
effort to take Verdun beg in more than
a year ago. Neville, an unknown
Colonel in the artillery when the war
began, and now in command of the
army of France, had no theory of de
f' nso which he could formulate for
the press when confronted by cor
respondents. “I've got no theory. A11
I know about military science is to
fight,” he Is quoted as saying, but he
asserted confidently that the Germans
should not pass. He made good his
word. Now his personality is the
theme of sundry French writers, one
of whom dec hires that the capacity of
a general is a niysteiy, but that the
I indefinable trait, which General Ne
ville does not recognize in himself as
j a mil iary genius.explains Verdun. The
( stronghold has proved impregnable
because the impact of German leg
iens, faultlessly equipped, has been
received, as often as new legions have
been formed to march across the
scene of the slaughter of those that
preceded them, by a commander who ;
has no theory, but who has t e magic
of great leadrshlp.
It was announced in Berlin official
dispatches in February, 1 b > 6, that
Verdun had fallen. In Mach, 1917,
General Neville is the hero of Ver
dun ami a looming figure in Europe,
despite the vast ness of the scale of
operations, it is evident that some
personalities, or a least some exam
ples of personal achievement are too
great to be dwarfed by circumstances.

ALL FOR FIVE DOLLARS.
In the Alameda mail came to some
bachelors of Seward a communica
tion from Grand Rapids, Mich., tell
ing them that they ran be married and
live happily ever afterward by just
sending a description of themselves to
a certain agency in that city with n
mere two dollars. The only
other charge is three dollars when the
marriage talcs place. The matri
monial agency has a hundred ladies
in tow, or on the string, or whatever
you call it, and all of them have
dough, all the way from $1,000 to
$30,000. After sending the two bucks
r”—t . .. .l*
the ladies will write directly to you.
which is worth the money itself, and
as the letter says "don’t let the small
fee of two dollars Ueprve you of a
loving wife and life long happiness.”
There’s a life long term in all due
some people. Send the two dollars
to the Gateway, instead, for further
information.
With the letter comes a newspaper
called "The Unity," with pictures of
the beauties held in stock, and they'd
make any man's mouth water.
One of the ladies photographed is
described as pretty, with a beaufiful
! <1 isposition, plump form and all the
rest. Somehow she looks like a rela
tive of Banjo Bill and is, therefore,
lather attractive in a way.
Another says “I am a fine looking
widow.” Several others adinht pulch
I ritude also.
But the question is,, who is the spy
that gave the bachelors away here?—
Seward Gateway.
ALASKA SHOULD HAVE NATION
AL GUARD.
Senator Aldrich has introduced a
bill providing for an Alaska national
guard. The measure Is wisely direct
ed. A law providing or a national
guard should be passed at the ear
liest possible date. Indications are
that the United States will soon be
at war with one of the greatest na- (
(ions in the world. In fact it is ad
mitted that a state of war virually
exists at the present time. An oppor
tunity should lie given the people of
Alaska to serve thdir country if they
so desire, and the sooner the oppor
tunity is afforded the better it will be.
There is none of us who do not
hope that the necessity for Alaskans
to serve their country on battlefields
will never arise. We hope that men
will not have to leave the territory to
join the federal forces either for at
tack of defense. However, if the
"orst should come Alaskans should
lie given the chance that all would
want under the circumstances.—Kx.
HANG ON!
Have you ever been possessed of a
wild longing to break loso and rove;
to get away from your environment;
to change your condition? If you
find your work heavy if you feel that
responsibility is unbearable; or you
feel you cannot stand the climate of a
“banana belt," or otherwise you feel
your ambition, your courage has de
serted you; don't desert your post.
Take the opportunity of your life to
exert your will and determination.
Hang on and all will come right, and
that means success.
It has been Wisely said that all
worthy doing, patient and careful do
ing reacts with happy effects upon
the doer. While this is an old truth,
it is well to be reminded of it once
in a while for we are very apt to
. forget that persistence never fails to
be rewarded. In these days when our
water pipes are bursted and we have
measles in the family and we go
about with cold feet; let us hang on;
better times are coming. Let us
compare our condition with that of
1 our neighbors and we shall soon find
out that it will pay us to tiang on a
while. Because "there is no place like
home.”—Ex.
