NOME, ALASKA, DEC. 27, 1916.
We haven't heard much about the
local tom cod inuustry since the Eski
mos ha\ e taken to dug racing. There
may be more grub as well as glory in
too great Alaskan sport—as long is
the merchants continue to hang up the
bacon.
The recent great storm on the At
lantic caused many ship wrecks.
Somehow the telegraphic accounts of
them do not seem to tittillate the
nerves as do the reports of big battles.
Newspapers will appear very dull
when the war is over. But, cheer up,
it is not over yet.
If the allies would provide the Ger
mans with men and munitions and
Germans lend the allies about half of
her generals the war could go on for
a long time with honors nearly even.
With the generalship all on one s.de
it may eoiKiauc to be a deadlock, as
it is. It s possible, however, that the
recent reorganizations in Britain and
France may bring forth the leaders
they need and that the promised
"drive” in the spring may result in
the "debacle.”
It may be merely a coincidence, but
since the peace proposal mere has
been a Ktot-...ug ut aguiuig. 'lhe every
day trench warnire ot course Con
tinues, oui mere nave been tew op
erations of the kind called active.
Bom allies and Teutons say they will
fight on un.il peace is ueclared but
it would appear that a mere consider
ation ot peace has nulled the military
oucsive. Gar can fiaruiy seem good
to me men m the ire-ncties ana if
rumors ox me possibility of peace have
reueneu them it would seem to be an
auuen cruel.y to snaiter their gleam
of hope by tell.ng them that he strug
gle is to cwn,mue muchnitely. Mass
censciousue.-s is a peculiar thing. It
is a real xorce. The ioea of peace
having cnee entered the minus of all
the soiuiers and of all the people at
home, it may be impossible for the
loaners in any country to eradicate it.
Therefore it xnay be impossible for
me chancellories of Europe longer to
play their stupendous gome. The
moment that the great mass of people
tn any of the warring nations revolts
a; more war that nation will stop
fighting, and something of the kind
nay be at the bcdiorn of the peace
proposal Germany's great socialistic
leu.eii uiay be working for peace so
6tr. ngiy ih.,. the g ve. n.nen. is forced*
in Odense of ns eery existence, to
piopose let ms. If this force is work
ing .a Germany it may also be opera
tive in I ranee vv.ere the ueias.ation of
war has been frightful. And. such
Is the esence of mass consciousness.

the peace idea may be spreading ul?
through Europe in the minds of the
common people. When the comonulity
really ucsires peace the ruling classes
can no longer make war.

MONEY IN POTATOES.
The scarcity and high price of pota
toes, a close second to bread in foau ,
importance, must serve to remind *he i
citizen ot n.giected opportunities in j
the home culture of this useful vege- j
table. In a country that has so much
idle and arable land it is a reflection
upon the public judgment that small
tracts, at least, are not utilized in the
culture ot potatoes for home consump
tion.
Two years ago many New York sub
urbanites living on Kong island were
auracieu to potato cui.ure and now
nearly everybody is engaged in it.
Proximity to a great market made the
en.erprtse l.n.uiomliy promising, in
addition to prot.d.ug supplies lor lb.
