RESHAPING THE MAP.
Supposititious reshaping of the map
of Europe, on theories involving the
success of one or the other parties
to the present struggle, are now in
order. Of course, the probability of
any accurate forecast being made is
remote, because there will be an im
mense number of details and there
is always the possibility of a lack of
agreement between the prevailing
states on the final details. Yet there
is some slight interest attached to
these forecasts.
In the event of the success of the
allies and their being in a position
to impose any terms which they
might desire upon Germany and Aus
I i 1(1, | UO UUUUdMJ (U kuuv A a UUMM
would suffer more severely than any
other German state. Indeed, Prussia
is the only Germanic state which has
before it the probability of dismem
berment.
The czar has already announced his
intention to re-establish the ancient
kingdom of Poland, under his own
crown, however, suggesting that he
will occupy toward the new kingdom
the same relation that the emperor
of Austria occupies toward Hungary.
The re-establishment of Poland would
deprive Prussia of a great share of
territory which 't has held since the
partition of Poland between Prussia,
Austria and Russia in the time of
Frederick the Great.
The allies may compel Prussia to
surrender the province of Schleswig
Holstein, which she took with the
strong hand from Denmark a gen
eration ago. Th's would deprive Ger
many of the Kiel canal, of such great
naval advantage to her, theoretically
at least. That canal would probably
lie neutralized, but placed under Dan
ish sovereignty. Alsace and Lorraine
would probably go back to France^
Fngland would probably demand and
take over Germany’s foreign colon
ies. and Servia would get Bosnia and
Herzegovina. Italy, as the price of
her neutrality, would probably demand
the Italian provinces at the head of
the Adriatic now owned by Austria.
All this Is fairly obvious. The one
question remaining—and It contains
the germs for a whole lot of future
trouble—Is what will be the Russian
demands and how can they be satis
fied In such a manner as to Insure
the future peace of Europe ? The Bal
kan question will remain, it Is to be
feared, one question which would not
be settled, and In It, as of old, will
be the germ of future wars, notwith
standing the frightful lessons now
taught.—Ex.
DIPLOMACY
Asking the question, "Can Europe
ever again tolerate the peril of secret
diplomacy?” the conclusion of the
London Dally News Is that "The ex
ample of the United States must here
after become the model of the civiliz
ed world.”
Monarchy has always sneered at
American diplomacy as of the shirt
sleeve variety. Because It was op
en. direct and honest, it was pronoun
ced uncouth. Because it refused to
engage In Intrigue, it was held to
be deflnclent in skill. Because It kept
faith, It was pityingly regarded as
maladroit. But the worst of Its of
fenses has always been publicity.
The war now raging In Europe is
the direct result of royalty’s secret
diplomacy. Everything relating to
supreme governmental policies has
been secret except the existence of
the colossal war machines and the
crushing taxes which have sustained
them. '
1U imtf WO/ IUO vouow.o—r
peace have been almost as drastic
as the censorships of war. A handful
of men In each country knew what
was going on. Hundreds of thou
sands who are now arrayed against
each other in battles as secret as
the diplomacy that led to them had
no more knowledge of the true situ
ation than their relatives at home
have now, whether fathers and broth
ers and sons at the front are dead or
alive.
Of late we have had some imita
tors of the secret diplomacy and cen
sorships of the Old World, but with
the tragic example now before us it
Is hardly possible that they can
make |further headway.—St. Louis

Vote For
George R. Goshaw
To the Voters of the Third Division:
As it is impossible for me at this time, owing to the close
of the mining and business season at this placer camp, to
come before you in person, I find it necessary to make
this announcement through the medium of the press.
I desire your vote for Senator to the Territorial
legislature, from the Third Division, at the
flection on Tuesday, November the Third.
My friends have not urged me to seek this office, nor
does the office seek me, I SEEK THE OFFICE, and I want
your support and vote.
I am solely responsible for my candidacy, and have
made no pledges or promises to any individual, party or
concern, and if elected will go to Juneau, absolutely unham
pered with ties of any kind; to do that which will advance
the interests of the whole people of Alaska:—not to go there
and vote “aye and nay” during the session, but to work
with a will and a knowledge of affairs, gained from a con
siderable experience, especially in this Division, and con
tinue such work, throughout the year and the entire term
of office.
If you feel that you can NOT honestly and sincerely
cast your ballot for any of the other candidates for this
office, THEN VOTE FOR ME. Yours very truly,
Chisana, Alaska, Sept. 1, 1914. GEORGE R. GOSHAW.
