SO. NOW the world sees coming another battle of Waterloo. When the
news came that the Germans had entered eastern Belgium and that the Bel
gians hoped for the landing of the British on the
WHOSE W VTF.HLOO coast most people who knew the location of the
battlefield of Waterloo got the idea, no doubt,
that the two armies would probably come together on the historic field as it
vuu equi-distant from both and would be on their line of march. This paper
suggested the probability at the time and, probably, many others did and
now the telegrams tell us that "it is expected”. Of course it may be expected
without ever happening. That Waterloo h;is been so impressed on the minds
of people newspapers might be inclined as well as others to suggest such a
repetition of history for the very thought is interesting.
Waterloo is only a few miles from the city of Brussels, the capital of Bel
gium. The great battle that decided the fate of Napoleon was fought there
in the month of June years ago. The British have always claimed the vic
tory and the Germans have claimed that the British would have been over
whelmed had not Biuct,or arrived in time. But. however that might be. we
find the French once more opposed by the Germans in the same country.
Then the French were the terrors of Europe now it is the invading men of
the kaiser. The British then aided to break Napoleon’s power, now they are
aiding in the effort to break the German power.
But, the telegraphic advices also tell us that the Germans are probably
surrounding the enemy at this moment. Just look at what this means. It
means in the first place that in this respect also history is repeating itsellT
In the Franco--Prussian war the Germans completely outwitted the enemy and
before the French knew what N on Moltke had in view Metz was surrounded
and Bazaine had to surrender an army of nearly two hundred thousand men.
Then came the disaster at Sedan and a march to Baris.
In this war we were told that the Germans had invaded Luxemburg and
that they wanted to pass through Belgium to reach the French coast. Luxem
burg is south of Bc'gium and Liege is in the east of Belgium, t p from the
south come the invaders getting Namur on that side while from the east
comes the main body from Liege and to the north we are told the Germans
have reached almost to Brussels. If that does not mean surrounding the
French and Belgians at Namur as the telegrams say it means nothing.
Indeed does it not look now as if when the Germans invaded Luxemburg
and Belgium that these apparently accidentia! movements were only bits of
a great plan which is now coming out. It looks like 1 ST0 over again.
Another strange coincidence in connection with the war anil the former
one is that they both began in the same month—August.
Napoleon III declared war in August. 1S70. and in the following January
the king of Prussia was crowiml emperor of Germany in the palace of Ver
sailles a few miles outside Paris.
NEWS FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE NORTHLAND
The Valdez Prospector says: There
is dissension in the ranks of the so
cialists in Fairbanks and the Alaska
Socialist, a semi-monthly newspaper
published in Fairbanks, is roasting
Lena Morrow Lewis for the manner
in which she conducted the nomina
tion to select a candidate for delegate
to congress.
Mrs. Lewis is accused of attempt
ing to build up a political machine in
order that she could deliver the nom
ination to her choice. If the facts as
s'tated by the socialist can be substan
tiated Mrs. Lewis is not above resort
ing to methods which have been used
to advantage by leaders of the older
political parties. The Socialist says
that Mrs Lewis “sneaked” into Fair
banks last year to establish a resi
donee, hoping to secure office but fail
ing in that to be able to have Burns
nominated.
The Socialist declares that Brooks
will not receive the support of the
party in Fairbanks next November.
Valdez—The local cable office today
received orders from Seattle to refuse
all code messages to Kuropean coun
tries that are involved in the war. The
• >rder has been sent not only to Alas
ka. but to all parts of the world. Dur
ing the present conflict cipher mes
sages cannot be sent.
Fairbanks, Aug. 1.—Charles John
son, a member of the well-known min
ing firm of Johnson Bros. & Johnson,
who have been operating under a
lease on claim No. 22 Coldstream, was
arrested today on the charge of theft.
Under the terms of the lease, John
son, who was in charge, was bound to 3
deposit the royalties due the owners j
of the claim. Larson and Freeman, in I
* the bank. The miners have made sev
eral cleanups but have not depositee
any of the proceeds with the banks
nor have they paid their bills at the
stores. Many of the miners who
worked on the claim during the winter
have not been paid their wages and it
is charged that Johnson was prepar
ing to leave the country. The arrest
has occasioned great surprise, as
Johnson is one of the pioneers of the
camp and has always had a reputa
tion for honesty.
The Ruby Record-Citizen says that
at no time since the pay was struck on
Long creek has the hoisting of pay
dirt proceeded so rapidly as at pres
ent. Nearly every plant is being
worked to its full capacity, and the
operators generally have an air of
satisfaction that can be found only
* with those who know for certainty
I that they have the world by the tail
' w it h a down hill pull.
None of the thirteen bodies known
to have been in the waters of Lynn
canal since the occasion of the launch
tragedy, the morning of July 4, have
been recovered and there is little
likelihood that any of them will be, as
the water of that portion of the canal
is said to be one thousand fathoms
deep. Diligent search has been made
along the shores of the canal but of
no avail.
