NOME, ALASKA, SEPT. 21, 1916.
Ii Hu- rumor, printed in yesterday’s
Nugget to i lit- i ffi-ct that Villa's forces
have captured Chihuahua City and
ilia! Caranzu lias lost control of the
situation should prove to be true, it j
would seem that the hour is not far
distant when the United States will
hur t- to step over and set the Mexican
house in order. Our available regular
army is not very large and our militia
may not lie as well trained as our
regulars, but we opine that out forces
arc adequate, entirely adequate if they
arc not bothered by politicians qnd
essay writers at Washington, to do a
I* rfectly dandy job. Then the good
days will come again when an Amer
ican in Mexico does not have to pin a
British Hag to his coat lapel for self
proteetlon or ilee with his family to a
tici man consulate to escape a half
drunken mob of cowardly half breeds
bent on killing the despised Ameri
cans, the only people whose country
wont lift a hand to protect them.
"Hut," say the exponents of none-in
tervcntlon and the peace-at-any-price
people,” our army isn't big enough, the
Mexicans are blood-thirsty despera
does, the bandits are skilled marks
men and the mountain passes would
all lie ambuscades whore our pour fel
lows would be shot down like sheep."
t)ii pshaw, just that, pshaw, indica
tive of deepest disgust. What this
country lacks just now is more cour
age and national pride both in certain
very high circles and among a lot of
others who talk and write about the
horrors of war. They give themselves
tin- shivers cverytime thel think about
blood. As a matter of fact the Mex
icans probably wouldn't give our
army any more trouble than did their
•Spanish relatives, which was none at
all. The bandits are at their best when
in hiding and those fearful mountain
passes, why it is just possible that the
intelligent department of our army
knows all about them. Ves, the Job
lias been waiting for us some years
now and—a good time to clean house
is while your neighbors are busy at
the same work, then they can’t come
in and bother you.
Greece has been looked on as a
probable ally for some time. Much
diplomatic persuasion has been used
on her which she Jong resisted. Then
iho German-Bulgar troops arrested
20,000 of her soldiers without a strug
gle, and seized some forts, a town and
a province, as if they too wished to
make her an enemy ally. And now she
will very likely get into the thick of it,
Strikes cause a lot of trouble but
often they seem to be necessary to
enable workingmen to get a fair wage,
decent treatment, and proper recogni
tion in the industrial world. And,
when you come to think of it, most of
the strikers show a truly fine spirit
when they leave their Jobs, many of
them probably with little money laid
by to keep them up, and go out to
fight peacefully for ^the most part
really by mute protest, for their rights
or for a principle, when they know
that temporarily at least they are
sure to be losers in n financial way.
Those strikers in New l'ork now, they
are striking not for their own benefit
but for the reinstatement of others
who lost their Jobs. They seem to
know that helping their fellows is
helping themselves. Human solidari
ty of which other people have prated
much and practiced little is a real
thing to them aiul it would be well
if it became a working principle In
every man's life.
The revival of the suggestion for a
tunnel under the British channel, to
render more easy and safe comtnun
llcatlon between England and France,
with special reference to future war
possibilities, may be another instance
where, In looking to the future, but one
side of the question is taken into con
sideration. The United States has on
hand now a case of that kind..
The opening of the Panama canal
wus looked upon, when the work was
started, as a military measure of pre
paredness. it was urged, and the
argument looked strong, that the open
ing or the canal would make the navy
available in short notice on either
ocean, and therefore the canal would
enable us to get along with a smaller
navy than would otherwise be neces
sary. We have discovered now that tho
opening of the Panama caul means,
Instead, additional territory to be
guarded and protected and that the
canal itself is one of the most vulner
able objects of attack in rase we be
come involved in war.
Perhaps something similar to this
may develop with the proposal tunnel
under the British channel. Theoret
ically it seems now that through this
tunnel it would lie more easily possi
ble to transport troops across the
channel, without danger of attack.
Considering the rapid development of
the submarine, this looks sound. But
would not the tunnel itself lie vulner
able to submarine attack, when it is
completed, and would it not be neces
sary to guard it in the most- elaborate
manner, possibly by a fleet of sub
marines V
What would be the efTect of great
quantities of high explosives, placed
by submarines on the ocean floor im
mediately above the tunnel? Could it
not be broken and flooded in this
manner? Probably, before the tunnel
project fully ripens, these considera
tions may come up and be discussed
as they have not been up to this
time.

a ueuiT anu nigger magazine means
more publicity for the district in which !
you are interested. More publicity
means faster progress in development
and faster development means more
dollars for you.
Ho you see that by helping us now
you will be helping yourself in the
future. While we are at it, we want
to say a few words to the merchants
of Nome. There is going to be big
business for you in this section in the
future. How soon it will develop de
pends a great deal on how soon you
are willing to develop it. If you are
alive to the possibilities of the mining
and other industries of this section
you should be willing to assist any
project that will tend to further its
interests. You will put you shoulder
to the wheel and assist any movement
for the betterment of conditions in the
district and the development of Its
latent resources.
However, you cannot do it by set
ting back and waiting. Get together
with the mining men and others who
are striving to do something for the
country and work with them for de- |
velopment. We need roads, a harbor !
and a half dozen other things and they !
will not come unless you get In and !
bend your assistance by boosting or j
helping others to do so. Any outlay I
of time or money that you may make |
at the present time will undoubtedly |
return to you tenfold in the future.
At least assist in securing for the ,
country such benefits as may be gain- !
ed by advertising the wealth and re- j
sources of the country.
