It is well for the rest ol us that we cannot conceive the rc;fl horrors of
of war without seeing them. In an illustration in Colliers Weekly which has
just arrived there is presented a photograph of a lot ot dead french soldiers
who were killed by the Germans in the forest of Mesnel. In another story of
the war a famous Vmerican writer describes a trench tull ot bodies alter a
battle. He declares that the bodies were not lying orderly but were tangled
up while some of the stiffened limbs protruded as if brandished!
Just think what a picture that word presents.
We are also told that by the loss of the three British cruisers sunk bv
a German submarine fourteen hundred men lost their lives, fourteen hun
dred men means at least double the population ot this town, lhat brings
home to us what it means to have fourteen hundred living sentient beings
converted into carcases within a few minutes.
After reading several of the greatest newspapers in the world about
this war one becomes convinced that great newspapers are no different es
sentially from small newspapers. They are larger and they can pay more
for articles by specialists on certain subjects but that is about the limit of
their difference. Some of them contain more rubbish than small papers be
cause a small paper has always got to be a little more careful of that
ubiquitous subscriber who is eternally waiting around the corner to point
out the faults.
Hut particularly in this war business the large newspapers show them
selves to be made of the same clay as the smaller fry, and a big bunch of
clay is less beautiful than a small bunch. In each country now at war the
papers are talking in a manner that reminds one of some of the Alaskan
papers during election time. I he side ot each paper is winning hands down.
The other side is made up of a lot of cowardly theives who can t stand before
the gallant soldiers of ‘our’* country. The enemy is always superior num
erically by three to one and they never could have gained any success only
for a lot of fortuitous circumstances.
This all looks childish, just as childish as the small paper whose candid
ate is always certain of a great majority and whose opposing candidate is
never any good by no means, nohow.
All this helps to teach the lesson that a man running a big business is
not necessarily a better man than one who runs a smaller business. We are
nil the same human animals only one man has a better chance to keep in the
limelight.
Reports from the outside indicate that a big rush will taken place to ;
this part of Alaska very soon. Letters arriving say that thousands of people
have their eyes on Seward. One message even declares that twenty five tho
sand people will arrive here before next summer.
It scorns now to be taken for granted that the railroad will come here
as the people have had time to look into the fake boosting done for other pro
posed sites. At first it is possible a rush might take place which would be
too large but if people are doing nothing elsewhere it inflicts no harm on them
to try their fortunes some other place. May they all come and be successful.

SAN FRANCISCO.—Secretary of
the Interior Franklin K. Lane, who
has made a special trip across the
country in behalf of the candidacy of
James D. Phelan, arrived in San Fran
cisco at 10 o’clock this morning from
Reno. Half an hour later the Secre
tary was in the thick of an important
conference, the first that has been held
with the members of the Alaskan En
gineering Commission, in his rooms
at the Palace Hotel. In company with
W. C. Edes, the chairman, and Thom
as Riggs Jr., Mr. Lane went over the
surveys recently made in that section
of Alaska which extends south to the
Tanana valley and for which Congress
at its last session authorized the ex
penditure of $35,000,000 for a new
railroad. The two members of the
commission hastened to this city from
Seattle, and their arrival at the hotel
was simultaneous with that of the
Secretary. Lieutenant Frederick
Mears, a third member of the board,
is still in the North.
In a letter to the Ruby Record-Citi
zen, Archdeacon Stuck denies that he
made the sweeping charges against
all the white men in Alaska attributed
to him by newspaper reports. He says:
“Nothing ever went into any state
ment of mine Outside that I have not
made again and again in public in
numerous places in Alaska. I have
said that the chief hindrance to the
work of Christianizing and civilizing
the Indians is the evil influence of the
‘low-down whites.’ ”
The jury brought in a verdict for
the government in the first of the fish
eries prosecutions in relation to the
operation of fish traps. The defend
ant in the action was the Taku Can
ning and Cold Storage company, oper
ating at Taku Harbor.—Juneau Em
pire.
Chairman Edes, of the Alaska En
gineering Commission has announced
in Seattle that the data on the Alaska
railroad routes will be in thejiands of
the President within forty days, and
intimates that the selection of the
route will follow within a short time.
This is news of the right sort, and giv
eo to the people of Cordova and the
Copper River Valley occasion for re
joicing.
FAIRBANKS, Oct. 31.—A private
dispatch from Washington to a man in
this city states that Judge Fuller, who
recently went outside on a vacation
has resigned his position. His succes
sor has not been named, but it is re
ported that Chas. E. Bunnell has a
chance of receiving the appointment if
he is not elected delegate to congress.
1DITAROD.—In Commissioner Al
brecht’s court on Tuesday and Wed
nesday of this week the unique spect
acle was presented of a woman on
trial for the crime of gambling. The
case was that of the United States vs.
Matilda M. Moses, and the complaint
alleged that the defendant on Septem
ber 15 last, at Discovery, Otter, parti
cipated in a game of poker “for money
or other valuable consideration.”

PARIS, Nov. 6.—If there were no
newspapers telling of the great battles
being waged about fifty miles north
of Paris, and if there were a little
more life to be seen on the boulevards,
no one would realize that the nation
was at war. There is no excitement,
and little anxiety is discernible in the
faces one sees on the streets. Those
who have always thought that of the
French people as excitable would be
surprised to see how calmly rind re
signedly they await the fate of the na
tion. Without the habitual roar of the
traffic, Palris has assumed the aspect
of prolonged Sunday.
Since the enactment of the ordinan
ce prohibiting the crying of newspap
ers, one sees the news venders silently
holding forth their wares. All have
small headlines; large ones have been
outlawed.
It is only the government automo
biles, with their horns and unmufTeled
exhausts, filled usually with officers
and soldiers, which one has to avoid
while crossing the streets, as all civili
an vehicles go at limited speed, a new
and pleasing arrangement for Paris.
It is impossible to go far outside the
gates of the metropolis without meet
ing companies of soldiers. Sentries
are stationed at every cross-road, lit
tle bridges, railroad switch, and sta
tion. To relieve the monotony of duty
they take pleasure in challenging the
casual passer-by. If he has his identi
fication papers all in order, they plead
for news, tobacco, and a moment’s
conversation.
“Singing Soldiers” is what the
French infantrymen have become.
Along the dusty country road may be
seen small detachments, marching
about without any notion of where
they are going, or what small part in
the big drama they are playing. Some
cheerful spirits always start the regi
ment marching song to make the long
steep hill seem less steep and the tire
less march less disagreeable.
LONDON, Nov. 7.—-Refugees have
been telling the American Relief Com
mittee queer tales of pretended relief
workers operating in Holland. Most
of these pretendeis are steamship and
hotel agents working on commission,
who circulate among the incoming
i trains with badges on their sleeves.

Some of them warned passengers that

“What do you mean by telling these

An American ludy complained of
giving an endorsed check for twenty
pounds to an American stranger who
treated her gallantly in Germany.
Sincer he was going ahead of the par

in London, and send her the rest after
paying 6 pounds to a friend in London.
No money came, and the lady proceed-i
ed to London, where she learned that j
the gallant stranger had not only
drawn money for himself but instead
of paying six pounds to the London
friend he borrowed six pounds. His
name did not appear on the relief com
mittee’s books.
