NOME. ALASKA. AUGUST 28, 1916.
one of the must illuminating articles!
relativi to the vast complexities of
tiie European wtti is printed in a re
cent issue of the Independent. Most of
us have known in a general way that
the great struggle which has deluged
Europe with blood for the past two
years was something vast, monstrous
a conflict su immense in ils propor
tions, so immeasurable in its effects,
embracing such remarkable display of
forces ami including such diverse ar
ray ol races, as to reduce to cumparu* i
live insignificance tin mightiest wars
>f all time.
We have learned that, in the num
ber of righting units involved, the
armies of any one of the leading pow
ers are double and treble and even
five and six times as great as the
mightiest military forces as the world
has ever seen. Also, that the number
of nations involved Is probably greater
than were ever engaged in I'uiubat
at one time before and that the races
of men represented in the tremend
ously far reaching battle lines are
more diverse ill color, Idood and creed
than ever been drawn together in one
struggle since the dawn of time.
We also know Unit the territories
and luncuriibulunt peoples involved
a.v g:eater and the costs more monu
mental than in any conflict of which
history bears record.
Hut, although we have known that
this is the greatest struggle in which
mankind lias ever become involved,
but few of us have more than indiffer
ent realization of just how great, tlow
complex it really is.
For instance, few save the statis
tically inclined, realize that there are
no less than fifty races involved. Few
er still.are aware that at the end of
the second year of war the belligerent
powers were holding more than three
million, two hundred and ten thousand
square miles of territory than was in
cluded in their national possessions
before the struggle commenced; or
that more than sixty three million,
eight hundred thousand people were
living under the shadow of an alien
flag.
The tremendous magnitude of it all
has been but indifferently realized by
even the best informed persons.
The following information, drawn
from the article mentioned will,'
therefore, be not only interesting but
will give the average reader a some
what different conception of the true
iimmensity of the conflict and of the
huge number of factors involved.
As the article is from one of the
most reliable publications in America
and is based upon the most complete
information obtainable, the statements
quoted may he considered us nearly
accurate as can possibly be compiled.
The nations at war are:
Entente allies: Great Britain, France,
Russia, Italy, Japan, Belgium, Serbia,
Montenegro, I’ortugal, total 9.
Central powers—Germany, Austria
Hungary, Bulgaria, Turkey, total 4.

ing in the struggle are:

gurs, Circassians, Croatians, Czechs,

ADVERTISING.
I asked eight dollars and a half for
one fine black Polled Angus calf, which
price was not too high; I hooked it
west, I hoofed it cost, endeavoring to
sell the beast, but no one wished to I
buy. Day after day I toiled along, I
and bored men with the same old
song. "I have a calf for sale; I ask ’
eight dollars and fifty cents for this

j' tth, rest your feet, and quit your
wearing out the street, and howling
by the year; spend fifty cents and ad
vertise your sawed-off cow of pocket
size, and buyers will appear.” I fol
low ed up that sane advice and put my
jaded feet on ice; and when the ad
appeared, ten customers came to my
.site; one bought the calf and paid tho
n ight, the others bucked and roared.
And thus, by printing little ads, the
wise man gathers In the scads, and
rests his aching corns; a little ad will
make more noise than fifty seven busy
