The Gateway telegraphic service certainly has one great advantage over
the great majority of the other papers in the territory—it is as reliable as
it is possible to he.
Looking over the papers which have not secured the Associated 1 ress
one can see some extraordinary fabrications, particularly in connection with
the war. This is not the fault of the papers themselves hut as their corres
pondents find it necessary to glean their intel igence from all sources many
false items are bound to creep in. Only the other day some newspapers print
ed not far from Seward stated that German warships were threatening
Victoria. Just before that the people of Seward read about the sinking of
the Audacious probably before the people in the British islands themsUes
knew about it. It is certainly something to remember that the Associated
Press cannot afford to injure its reputation by sending out false reports.
The Gateway can also assure its patrons that this paper never tries to
add to the news. It never colors and it never tries to add the sensa
tionalism. It gi'es the war news andiail other telegraphic news as it receries
it from the great press association directly.
The inauguration of a holy war probably means that the bloodshed will
he continued for many years. It is quite possible that the Moslem population
of the world will ri>e in arms and in countries so remote that the great
powers crippled financially by the war in Europe, will be unable to subdue
the fanatical hordes. The number of Mohammedans in the world is estimated
at two hundred millions. The number of Christians is just about five hundred
millions. With the Christian forces of the earth wasting themselves in a
fratricidal strife and with the mohammedans aided by the military skill of
Turkey and the borrowed science and weapons of Christendom the world may
he facts! by a far greater calamity even than hat which it is now undergoing.
A war between the great civilized powers is very bad hut even in the
midst of bloodshed the troops on both sides are moved by that Christian
charity towards each other that was instilled into their beings by Christian
mothers. A war between mohammedan and Christian would he a far different
matter. It is the doctrine of the mohammedan, if we are to believe the best
authorities that a war against the Christians would he a war on the side of
God. The mohammedans are laboring under the rage which comes from sup-1
pression of religious ideals. Not yet have the great majority of them acquired
the education which removes fanaticism and when fanatics fight, and especi
ally religious fanatics, they are fanatic indeed.
The mayor of Iditarod and the Iditarod Pioneer have made very nice
and friendly remarks touching the opening of the mail route between that city
and this. They have expressed the wi>h that the route will be a further link
between them and us.
Through the Gateway the people of Seward reciprocate to the full their
most friendly and cordial greetings. It i* not only to our material advantage
to be linked up with Iditarod hut it is a real pleasure. By having a mail
route connecting us with the big and broad and wide-awake people of the
interior we are brought in touch with the best in the territory. May Iditarod
live and flourish as long as Seward is here to meet them—and that is for
ever.

GERMAN OFFICER SAYS MARNE
\VV,8 MORE IIl.OOOY
I H AN MUKPEN
(By The Associated Press.)
PARIS, Nov. 25.—'The Aftenblatt
of Stockholm publishes a letter from
! a German ollicer to a friend in Swed
| on giving the following impressions
j of an engagement near Chalons dur
| ing the battle of the Marne.
“In the neighborhood of Chalons I
took part in the most terrible battle
that 1 have ever seen: 1 was, however,
at Liege, at Namur and at Longwy—
Since it was impossible lor our artii
iery lo silence the French batteries,
we decided to charge, thinking the
l Frcncn and English would fly before
j the German bayonet; the experience
proved that our ideas on that subject
! were entirely erroneous.
•‘Two ol our regiments were order
; cvl to take the allies' position by
storm. The French however, were
read) to receive us and there ensued
such a butchery us never was seen in
this or any other war. A detachment
of French concealed among the trees
threw themselves on us. They were
mostly turcos and zouaves, strong
devils against whom it is impossible
to light. A zouave, with a gun, bay
onet rixed, is the most infernal thing
that can be described.
‘ Savage cries of pain and of anger
resounded through the wood. A great
many men fell there and saturated the
ground with blood. Soon the 1' rench
artillery came into action ami its pro
jectiles completed the work oi the
bayonet. Our men beat a retreat at
full speed across the wood now in
(lames. These who had escaped the
bayonet fell under the rain of bullets
and lay burning in the thickets. Only
(>U men of my regiment returned. Of
the other only 11 came back, and of
the 71 survivors, all were more or less
grievously wounded.
“I followed the campaign in Man
churia. but 1 think in the course of the
five first days of the battle of the
Marne, more victims fell than were
counted in the battles of Mukden and
of Liao-Yang.”
Another evidence of the murderous
character of the lighting in this battle
is furnished by a French soldier’s let
ter published by the Depcehe de
Toulouse. We have been lighting for
three weeks to the cast of Verdun in
I the region of the Tournon, Genicourt
and Saint Mediel forests, “he wrote.
“We advance, but very slowly because

the “boches” (Germans) are strongly
! entrenched. For ten days we occupied
trenches only 400 yards from theirs,
and they did all that was humanly
possible to break through. They
| charged as many as ten times a day
and at night they tried to approach
by creeping along the ground. But all
their assaults were repelled with great
slaughter; 3,000 German bodies were
loft in front of our trenches.
“After every repulse each of our
men grabbed two or three mausers
with ammunition from bodies of the
dead and stood them alongside in the
trenches, and when the enemy came
back he was received by fire from his
own weapons.
“To guard against surprise at night
we took all the empty beef cans, tied
them to a cord and piled them so that
when the Germans came creeping to
ward our lines and the cord was touch
ed, they made enough noise to give
the alarm. One night when the cans
rattler, we replied with immediate
volleys and there were no more dis
turbance that night. In the morning
we counted five hundred dead Ger
mans lying on the ground within a
hundred yards of the trenches.”
