City Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA, AUGUST 4, 1915.
l.ate arrivals from the outside state
that throughout the East everywhere is
visible the activity occasioned hy the
great demand of the warring nations
for the means and implements of
death. Everywhere one goes, accord -
ing to one widely traveled witness, is
visible a feverish activity in those
lines of industry catering directly to
the horrible demands of war. Machine
shops, iron plants, every species of
work shop, is being, converted to the
task of making arms and ammunition;
across the wide reaches of the ocean
ships are hurrying, loaded deep with
ttie mineral constitutents of powder to
supply the ceaseless demand of the
powder mills which are turning out
their deadly product by scores of tons
Everywhere the efforts of Industry are
turned from the making of the things
of peace to the task of catering to all
that is cruel and Vicious and horrible.
That the United States is reaping .»
mighty profit from this ghastly work
goes without saying. ' Millions of
money multiplied are being wafted
into the commercial channels of the
nations from that bloody tide of death
anil destruction sweeping over Europe.
An article published in a conservative
English paper, some time ago. states
that the entire output of the United
States in the line of high explosives
lias been bought up by the allies for
months to come. Three hundred mil
lion rounds of rifle ammunition, seven
end n half million shrapnel shells,
seventy thousand armor piercing shells
and a million rifles in addition to so
many tons of explosives of various
varieties that the numbers run neorly
to the billions were sent to Europe be
fore the war was six months old. One
firm alone—the General Electric Co.
t.v the way—has already received or
ders for sixty million tons of gun cot
ton and other explosives used hy the I
lirltish troops. Add to this a half mil
lion ions of harhed wire for the making
< f tlie deadly entanglements in which
men are forced to go nnd when caught
In I lie enmeshing mazes are slaughter
ed hy the thousands, and we begin to
see what this holacast of death is
bringing to the nation. According to
-.a-.1---lj. ,j
the Rame article, up to the
end of February. over eighty .
million pounds, not dollars, worth 1
of war goods had been shipped
to Kngland and France nlone. One
cannot help but wonder, when rending 1
these figures telling of the great values -
being expended in this country for the <
tools of war, just how many of those
por devils that have gone upon the
firing lines, because they had to. are *
lying stark and dead through the ’
things that we, who claim to be a 1
humane people, have sent to aid and
■sustain such awful things. How many
tens of thousands of the young and i
strong and virile, the youth and *
strength of the nations, are sleeping I
ihelr last sleep through the deadly
things that wc of peace loving America
have supplied? How many innocent t
babes nnd little ones are crying in the
abandoned grief of childhood for the
father or brother who will not return
again; how many wives and mothers
and sisters throughout those war dis
tracted lands are going about the busi
ness of life with aching hearts and
unsmiling faces—with naught left to
them but to wait through hopeless bar
ren years of empty longing through
the things that we have supplied for
the destruction of (heir loved ones. Tt
is all very well to say that If we wrr
not aiding in the mnintainenee or the
awful things now going on across the
water, someone else would, hut are we
thereby made one iota the less respon
sible for the death and maining of
those tens of thousands who have'-'suf
fered and died upon the shot swept
fields of war through the deadly in
struments of death that we have fur
nished? Are we not in. the last analy
sis, fully as guilty of their death, as
responsible for their sufferings and
those of their loved ones, as those who
planned and executed the gigantic
horror which is crushing their souls
and bodies? Are we not, in lending to
the work of destruction, just as guilty
of what results from the use of the
powder, shot and shell that we supply
as the man who lit the torch of war
or the man who fires the gun because
he has to? In fact, the soldier who
pulls the trigger of his rifle at the
command of his all powerful masters
is far less responsible than we. for his
work of destruction is a task that he
must do, though his soul revolts at the
doing, while we, the most advance!
nation of the age, are assisting in that
awful work because we want to be
cause our hungry greedy, money-mad
souls are blinded by the lure of golden
dollars so that we cannot see the evil
of our ways.

ORIGINAL'“ONE
HOSS SHAY”
DISCOVERED
PITTSFIELD, Mass- The original
"one-horse shay" is now at the lierk
shire Museum of Natural History and
Art. The old ehaise was presented to
the museum by Francis W. Rockwell,
who owned it for many years. It was
formerly owned by the late Amasa
Rice, of Pittsfield, and his son. Robot t
A. Rice, has told Mr. Rockwell of
Oliver Wendell Holmes' frequent visits
to examine the old chaise during his
residence at Pittsfield, 1848-1865, and
it is believed that this is how Mr.
Holmes gained his inspiration for ltis
famous poem. “The One-Hoss Shay.”
Mr. Rockwell writes that this ehaise
is over 100 years old. It was formerly
:he property of Samuel MeKav, one of
Pittsfield's first citizens In his day.
1793-1834. In the inventory of his es
tate, one Item was “One gig and har
ness, $130.”
Mr. McKay was interested in other
forms of transit, for records shows that
“S. M. McKay. I.emml Pomeroy and
*
T. A. Gould were incorporated with the
capita! of $340,000 as the Pittsfield &
West Stockbridge Railroad Company.”
Mr. McKay gained the title “Colonel*’
as one of the Governor’s military aids.
