And now it is the peo > e of Rumania
who are, like as were the Italians,
clamoring to get themselves in'o
trouble despite the efforts of the
guiding powers to save them from the
fearful costs entailed in going to war.
A short time ago it was Greece and!
later Italy who had the fever. In the
former nation the popular clamor for
war was stilled only by the decided
negative of the government while the
latter lias taken the fatal plunge for
better or worse, usually the latter. Rut
for the decisive refusal of the Greek
king and his cabinet to concur in the
popular desire it is probable that long
ere the present day the Greeks wouid
have boon offering bloody sacrifices on
the altar of this moloch of humanity
instead of living, as at present, in the
comfortable ways of peace and har
mony. To the smaller European
states the present is doubtless looked
upon us a most propitious time for the
evening up of old scores all regardless
of the fact that the balancing of ac
counts may not be accomplished with
out paying a fearful price and with
the added certainty that this price
must lie paid regardless of whether the
desired end is gained or not. In the
case of Greece the primary impulse
behind the popular inclination for war
lies in the desire to vent a long cher
ished hatred on the hereditary Turkish
foe: a Jmtrwrt nutured by ,he Turks
themselves through two centuries of
encroachment and usurpation. The
same applies to Bulgaria which nation
also views the Ottomans as its dearest
foe. Inspired by their long continued
hatred for the Turk it is no doubt dif
ficult for the people of those nations
to overcome the inclination to get even,
especially at the present time when
beset by powerful enemies, the object
of their revengeful desires seems al
ready tottering toward national disso
lution. Of Rumania it may be said
that in addition to the ancient hatred
of the Turk there is in the minds of
ihe people an ever present fear that the
Austrians will ultimately visit upon
themselves the fate of Bosnia and
Herzegovina and a number of other
small nations who were unable to offer
a defense against the usurpation of
their powerful neighbor To Rumania
ihe Austrian nation therefore repre
sents, greater ttian the Turk, a men
ace to the national existence and one
whose inclination toward smaller sur
rounding states has been conclusively
demonstrated in the gradual or forci
Vile absorption of all lesser national
units touching upon Its borders. The
ever present fear that they may be
compelled to share the fate of other
small nations added to the several at
tempts of the Austrians to encroach
upon the national liberties of the Ru
manian people has resulted in the
growth of a spirit of intense hostility
toward their mighty neighbor even as
the animating cause of the hatred of
Greece and Bulgaria toward Turkey is
born of natural fear of a more powerful
nation with aggressive inclinations
With such impulses as hatred and a
desire for revenge for past offenses
dominant in the hearts and minds of
the people It require': but a breath to
fan the smouldering spark of national
resentment into a fervid flame of hos
tility which reckons not of costs so
that it mav find relief in striking tierce
and hard When this powerful Impulse
to "get even” slezes upon a nation it
is clear that it is only by the most
wise and careful leadership that the
controlling government can avert
the cumulative disasters of war Even
then there Is no surety that the hostile
inclinations of the people may not
prove too powerful for restraint with
the result that the debt of national
hatred is still further Increased and
the profit, aside for the gratification
that may be gained from smiting the
foe. Is little or nothing that mav he
called an adequate compensation for
the trials and sufferings to which the
nation has been subjected by the rasiij
inclinations of its people
A lady, the mother of several chil
dren. called at the ofllce of the Ketchi
kan Miner to file a complaint that her
hoys and girls were not s>nt home by
the police after the ringing of the cur
few The Miner winds up a long ar
ticle on the subject by saying: "When
ever boys and girls are found gadding
about the streets at unseemly hours
of the night, there is something radi
cally and criminally wrong at the
homes of such boys and girls. The
curfew may ring and policemen may
do their duty, but there is no power
and no law in the world that can take
tlie place of home training and home
discipline. Parents cannot shift their
-responsibility to the city and parents
who depend upon the curfew to pro
tect their boys and girls and drive
them tiome, should not complain if
they bring shame anal disgrace home
with them. Loose discipline In the
home results in loose morals away
from home. The curfew should he an
admonition to parents rather than a
w arning to boys and girls "—Douglass
Island News.
Secretary Daniels does not satisfac
torily answer the criticism made
against his administration of the navy
In his letter to Harry A. (hirfield It
is probably true, as he says, that more
ships are in commission than ever
before, that the number of men in the
service has been increased under his
rule, that the vessels are properly
provisioned and well supplied with
ammunition. Also it may be true that
in the past two years more has been
done for the navy than was done in the
last two years of the Taft administra
tion. The chief complaint against the
Secretary is that he has not taken the
larger view of naval matte.rs. that he
has not treated this branch of the
country's military service as primarily
a fighting machine. What he lias done
|is to introduce some things which are
known as Daniel's fads and fancies,
that he has weakened the morale of the
yqmen has failed to inspire them as men
whose business is to fight at a mo
ment’s notice should be inspired. In
this way the navy has been softened
and is generally considered less fit
than before Mr Daniels came into of
fice. Brooklyn Standard Union.
The United States of America are
confronted at this time with a business
situation unique in its history. Tem
porary lull in certain industries, owing
to international strife, will undoubted-j
ly he followed by an intensive business
activity. The disarrangements of the
financial situation and of imports and
exports have, in a large measure, ‘‘put
on the brakes" on business. Rut this
temporary lull appears full of promise
of an era of unexampled prosperity for
our country if our business men are
alive to their opportunities and reach
out for the markets which have here
tofore enriched our foreign competi
tors. Our local situation is probably
an index as to the situation else
where. The Felt era Company are
working day and night shifts to till for
eign orders; the Endicott-Johnson
Shoe Company are working their full
force of ubnut five thousand men to
take care of foreign orders in addi
tion to local demand. The Kfne is here
and now when every 'AMoHean busi
ness man must be alive to the oppor
tunities in store for him; there is al
ways business, but it gravitates to
him "who gets after it.” We have the
facilities, workmen and ingenuity to
manufacture what the world needs, the
market* are open to us, and our slogan
must be ‘Prosperity through industry
and conquest ■ net of countries, but of
mark els.”—Es.

TWO VIEWS OF
| EUROPEAN WAR
THE ALLIES VIEW.
By Alfred W. Bryce
The fall of the leaf six months ago
formed the drop curtain to the great
series of conflicts known as the Battle
of the Marne. The space of time in
tervening is short in proportion to the
importance of the issue of last Sep
tem, yet long enough to reveal the
battle in something like its true impor
tance.
What the issue meant for the lands
of Gaul it meant, also, more remotely,
for the remainder of Europe, and even
for the world. With less than forty
million French. Napoleon had nearly
mastered the nations. Ninety million
Teutons, organized and skilled in arms
beyond all other peoples, once they
had brushed away the French obstacle
might well have succeeded when Na
poleon almost won
Yet the fate of the German people j
is settled. They cannot win the war
in so far as to gain a peace acceptable
to themselves, and will be driven to
accept terms disastrous to their high
station as a Bower.
THE GERMAN VIEW.
By Hugo von Kleiit
In spite of all "official" announce
ments from Petrograd Marshal von
Hindenburg’* attack upon the right;
Russian wing hits proven to be far'
more effective and Important than!
could be gathered from the highly col
ored reports of that part of the \aier- i
lean press which for some reason or;
other is favoring the allies
The result of these operations was;
that more than 110,000 prisoners of |
war, over Son cannon, ion machine;,
guns and vast amounts of war mater- '
ials were taken hv the Germans.
The 10th Russian Army under the I,
command of General Baron von Siev- \
ers is destroyed. Only scant remains '
of this army took refuge behind the <
protecting forts of the Narev line. The ,
20th Armv Corps lost all of its generals,1
to the Oermnns. >
East Prussia now rejoices lieing re ,
i lieved of the Russian yoke, and von 1
Hindenburg has unquestionahlv he- 1
come the most popular man through-j,
out the empire. |j
Even in the press of the neutrals we |1
find here and there a word of reeogni- I'
tion for the Marshal and for his hril
liant chief of the general staff von
Ludendorff. The fact that a consider- j
able number of the German troops, who j
won this decisive victory over the litis- i
sians, wore young, newly trained men,
speaks all the more for the spirit that
is prevnding the ranks, and for the
capability of their illustrious leader.
