NOME, ALASKA, MARCH 29, 1915.
WARS’ HORRORS CAPITALIZED.
i ivcr in Europe they m e already com
mencing to turn the war to a rummer*
rial purpose, distinct from that sup
posed to he primarily involved, by
making the still warm battlefields of
France the gathering places for the
curiosity obsessed tourist ".loin ihe
war excursion and see the German
rout from the sidelines for yourself.
Fare eight guineas." reads the circular
addressed to venturesome tourists by
an English association announcing that
arrangements hate been made for "the
loffre’ tour of the battle fields of 1S14
while the enemy is still in France."
This in the phrase of the da,t is
"going some." Scarcelj has the echo
of the roaring guns ceased to rever
berate over the shot torn land, hardly
has the blood of countless thousands
dried upon tin- Helds and hills, nay,
while the enemy himself is still within
possible striking distance of the gore
stained spots on which the\ will gather
the curious are invited to come and
glut their desire for seeing the strange
and awful with such of the visible
evidences of wars horrors and cruelties
as may yet remain to he seen.
Here is modern commercialism dis
played with a vengence. Come all you
curiosity-mad ones; come with your
idling dames, your daughters and your
sons and look upon what yet remains
of the blood-stained scar that twenty
centuries of "civilization and culture”
has torn across the fertile Helds and
hills of sunny France, Come, see, at
so much per look, the awful desolation
wrought in the most enlightened age
in the history of the world, l.ook upon
the unnumbered graves of those who
thoughtlessly sacrificed their lives in
a cause for which none but their
masters knew the reason. Gaze upon
the ruins of the dozens of fair towns
and villages now battered and torn and
bereft of the contented thousands who
lately abided there lit peace and con
tentment hut are now driven forth
hungry and homeless to what fate
Heaven only knows Look upon the
once fertile Holds torn with blood
stained trenches and gaping hollows
where the shrieking shut lias fallen,
killing and maining dozens, perhaps.
Fill yourselves full with the visible evi
dences of tile horror, the misery and the
ghastly awfulness of war for which
you have paid your shilling!! to sec.
It is a noble sight, ladies and gen
tlemen. and one right worthy to be
seen, so come and drop your silver in
the hat and see what civilization and
iventleth century humanity has pre
ared for your edification. It is useless
o wait until this tnud horror has
ssed awftv and vanished with the
ke horrors of the past. Como white
he blood Is fresh upon the shrinking
nil. while beneath the hollowed
founds the flesh of the victims is still
ncorroded, come w bile the embers of
owns and villages are yet smoking
rum tlic touch of the flrey torch of war
’ome now while all is new and fresh
vith the ghastly evidences of what our
ivilization stands for. The sight will
mply repay you and beside yve need
muli' y. This is a commercial age
aid things are done in a hurry Wliat
Iocs it matter that the heart strings of
'ranee are yet vibrating yyith pain and
nisery: that tlie sound of weeping wo
nen and children fills the land. Such
rifles as those will but give an added
lest to the journey yve offer you for
lie small sum of eight guineas and yvill
'urther add to the pleasure of contem
plation and perhaps strike a new
hord in the gamut of your emotions
Don’t wait fair sirs and madams,
gather wliile the fields are wet with the
life blood of war victims Here yve are
to do '<ni service to show you horror
piled on horror if we can; to glut your
idle curiosity yvith all of rlie visible
evidences of man’s inhumanity, to on
able you to revel in the sight of a
world's misery. We are out fot
