City Official ■ Paper
NOME, ALASKA, JUNE 25, 1915.
The tremendous military power of
the German army has at no time been
more conclusively demonstrated than
in the great Galician campaign which
witnessed its final culmination with the
fall of Lemberg. Before the arrival of
the eGrman legions to dispute the con
quest of the Slavic hosts, the forces of
Austria seemed utterly unable to more
than temporarily check the advance of
the Russians despite the fact that the
enemy were fighting in a strange coun
try far from their own base and under
conditions of the most adverse char
acter, all of which tended to the bene
fit of the defending Austrians. It must
lie remembered that the Austrian army
is one of the best equipped and train
ed military forces in the world and, in
the estimation of trained military ob
servers before the opening of the pres
ent great conflict, was excelled in mili
tary efficiency only by that of Austria's
powerful ally. Germany. Vet, despite the
great development attained through
years of cultivation along the most
highly developed lines of military
training, before the slightly larger but
less highly trained armies of Russia,
the Austrians seemed as chaff tossed
before the gale until the arrival of the
remarkable fighting forces of Germany
during the last campaign in the Car
pathians. Twice during the period of
conflict we have witnessed the Rus
sians rolling wave like over the Gall
fian province and storming at the
rock bound gates of Hungary, despite
the heroic efforts of the Austrians.
Lemberg, Przemysl, Czernowltz, mili
tary strongholds of tremendous
strength, fell beneath the devastating
Russian tide, one after another, until it
seemed that the Austrians were doom
ed to inevitable destruction. True it is
that once they rallied for a brief in
terval and, by a tremendous effort,
hurled back the encroaching human
flood; but not for long. Within a short
period the Russians were Again rush
ing forward with seemingly resistless
strength, scattering the Austrians like
leaves before the blast, until the in
vading host had penetrated to the
plains of Hungary.
During the accompanying period, the
Germans were devoting their attention
to the tremendous task of holding
their own against the might of France
and Britain and at the same time were
conducting a furious offensive cam
paign against the Russians in West
Poland. The result of the German op
erations during this interval is a fur
ther attestation to the temarkable
power of the Teutons despite the fact
that they failed in the campaign
against Warsaw, as they are still in
possession of practically all of the ter
ritory captured during that period.
Still, this remarkable display of mili
tary strength does not disclose the
more spectacular aspects of the Ger
manic power as does the Galician cam
paign wherein the Germans were not
only successful in checking the Rus
sians in their foray into the Hungar
ian territory but also succeeded In
wresting away in a few weeks the ad
vantages gained by them during long
months of martial endeavor. It Is not
believed that the results of this re
markable campaign can be attributed
to an overwhelming superiority of
lumbers us it is indicated that the
lumerical strength of both forces was
ery nearly equal, hence the ease with
ivhieh the Germans forced aside the
opposition in northern Galicia, captured
iortlfled cities defended by the flower
of the Russian army, and delivered
flows of the most staggering descrip
tion, is most astonishing, and also a.
most convincing testimonial of the
greatness of their military efficiency.
Here, as at no previous time during
th* war. both sides in the tremendous
struggle developed the maximum
strength of their forces in a compara
tive contracted space. Both forces
were exerting the ultimate of their
total weight in an effort to smash the
opposition and, as the numbers were
comparatively equal—the slight infer
iority of the Russians being more than
compensated for by the fact that they
were in control of all fortified positions
and were fighting purely on the defen
sive—the results are a fair approxl
tion of the relative fighting values of
the opposing units and it must tie ad
mitted that the Teutons developed a
most surprising superiority.
Some years since the courts in New
York sustained the right of theatrical
managers to refuse to sell seats to tlie
dramatic critic of a weekly newspaper,
who had been boycotted by the mali
ngers because of his caustic reviews of
certain theatrical offerings and for his
comments upon the Iroquois fire.
Now the supreme court of the city
of New York has rendered a diametri
cally opposite decision, and has held
that all persons have equal right in
places of public anu.sement and that
the management has no right to deny
to any person the right to buy a ticket
and witness the performance. How
ever, the later decision rests upon
changes made by the legisaiture in the
written law.
When the older decisions were ren
dered the legislature had passed no
statutes on the subject. In the ab
sence of any statute law covering the
case, the courts then held that play
houses "are strictly private concerns,
conducted solely for private profit or
private pleasure,’ nnd that "the man
agers mn> not only refuse admission
under an arbitrary discrimination, but
they may quietly eject any person af
ter selling him a ticket of admission.
iSnce then the legislature has passed
a law declaring that all persons are
entitled to equal rights in all places
of amusement. In the present case the
court has decided that this legislation
is constitutional within the police pow
ers of the state.
Following upon the earlier decision,
before the legislature acted upon the
subject, the freedom of tile press in
the matter of dramatic criticism was
seriously abridged. The managers held
to their right not only to refuse the
ordinary "courtesies," hut denied the
critic permission to see the play at all
through purchasing a ticket.—P.-I.
