If the hopes of the members of the railroad coramisson are fulfilled the
great work will be under way in four months.
Four months make a very short time and before we know it we shall all
he once again in the midst of a big stampede that will place all the other
stampedes in Maska in dense shade. It will be a stampede where the fever
of haste will he eliminated. In the old stampedes we just rushed to find
something in a hurr> and belio\ed that it we tailed to strike it rich in a da>
or two we never had a chance again.
Kut in the stampede which is due next April, and ma>he before April,
we can look forward to a permanent opportunity.
The coal mines alone will employ ten times as man\ men as an> camp
in Alaska ever employed. The money to be spent on the railroad construction
is nearly as much as the total amount that has come out of Nome during its
whole life. The homesteads that will he populated, unlike placer mines, will
become richer a> they grow older. Quartz ledges that no one would touch at
present will probably become \aluable properties when there is a chance to
get coal at a reasonable price and when there is a means of transporting all
sorts of supplies.
The coming of population "ill mean everything. It "ill mean that new
industries "ill come into being. Even the fish in the harbor "ill become
valuable in a commercial sense. The timber which is now lying idle will be
in demand. The hills around the city will have sheep and cattle grazing on
them. There "ill be nothing that the presence of people will not enhance in
value. People make resources because they make resources necessary.
The real horror of the "ar cannot be brought home to us by the combined
stories of the slaughterings. I'o get some insight into what war is one need
have only one vivid case of death under circumstances of horror brought to
his notice. Lieutenant Lody "ho was shot recently in the Tower of London
as a spy died very bravely. He even refused to have his eyes bandaged and re
fused to give the least information as to who were responsible for his spying.
In short, he died the death of the real soldier.
Hut just before dving he "orte to a friend in the l nited States telling
him “that a spiritual adviser had just visited me. It was his visit that made
me realize more than anything else that "hat your own General Sherman
said about war was true.”
That means that the horror of the violent wrenching of his life from him
had just settled on his soul. No doubt brave man as he was, his very soul
was shrinking at the thought of the unnatural passing away from this life.
He was thinking of the bullets crashing through his flesh, bones and life
organs.
Hut there are thousands of men now going through experiences on the
battlefield that are hardly better and some are worse. Besides them there are
o!d mothers by the millions that start up in their sleep every night frightened
to death by dreams that show them the mangled corpses of their sons. That

—
! TELLS HOW MEN WHO DRIVE
AUTOMOBILES HAVE TO
FACE MUSIC.
! -
(By The Associated Press.)
PARIS, OCT. 1.—The exploits of
the daring automobile drivers w.
whiz along the fringe of the shell-torn
battle front, and sometimes into it, on
j missions of military duty that have
cost many a life, are as remarkable
: as the aerial dashes in this war.
Thousands of luxurious touring cars
and limousines that once graced the
boulevards of Paris are now employed
in this service and many of them are
driven by their wealthy owners, who
rank as privates, and are comrades (
with professional chauffeurs. They
wear uniforms marked with an “A”
■ on the arm. Little is heard of their
individual deeds, which led the Figaro
to say their service was “obscured.”
In reply the Figaro printed on its
first page a letter from one of these
daring drivers, a Paris lawyer, that
speaks for itself. It follows:
“ ‘Obscured!’ The word is quickly
said. There is too much ‘obscured.’
And one has reason for being so who
is forced to remain far from the front.
Thus the automobile service is obscur
ed. But the Figaro ought to say that
in their obscurity the automobilists
know how to die and that numerous
indeed have been those who already
have fallen.
“If, at the beginning of the war, one
saw automobilists enjoying a ride in
the woods or with their cars sta
tioned before fashionable restaur
ants, that time has passed. That
should be known.
“The automobile squad to which I
belong is submitted to the most rigid
military discipline. We have three
roll calls a day. We do not sleep at
home. No one quits the garage dur
ing hours of sendee.
“The other day, about nine in the
morning, the quartermaster entered
the garage. Everyone was at his post.
The machines were all equipped tanks
tilled, provisions in the hampers, car-,
bines ready—everything to show that,,
we don’t just merely make a ‘run '
around the lake.
“ ‘They want a car!’ cried the quart
ermaster. *\Y’ho can go ?’
“Every man answered T.’
“One of our comrades, Jean R-,
was chosen. A turn of the crank and
the car was gone. Where? No one
asked One is too much accustomed to
seeing these machines depart to put
the question. They go, remain absent,
many days, sometimes.

“In the evening the machine return*

were broken. Bullets had riddled its
panels. Jean R- was not with it.
His comrade, tears in his eyes, had
brought the car back alone. Jean

His body was on the ground back
there, somewhere in the North. They
had not been able to bring it back.
Some English soldiers had arrived in

left so joyously in the morning.
“Some hours later, in the garage

“The men, in two ranks, raised the

“A day or so later, one could see,
one morning, some soldiers marching

All wore on the left arm that letter
