A CORRESPONDENT has drawn attention to the lines by Tennyson which
foretold air battles. The lines say something like
A GHASTLY DEW “and from the clouds there rained a ghastly dew”
when the visioned armies of the future met in the
air. These lines rather suggest that from the ships of the air there fell some
poisonous substance but, after all, fighting in airships is ghastly and the lines
bring home the unearthly sensation which must come when from a dark sky
in the dead of night awful messengers of death descend as they did in the city
of Antwerp. Verily bombs from airships are “bolts from the blue .
THE ENTRANCE of Turkey into the war is probably the only thing re
quired to make the present war even still more horrible. With Turkey fight
ing for Germany and Austria Greece must tight for its very existence.
With two hundred thousand muhomnietlans let loose against the hated
<hristiaus and with no neutral powers to stay their hand and the hand ol
their hating Christian neighbors in the Balkans Europe is almost sure to tall
back to the days when mercy was neither given nor expected.
With masses of savage Asiatics fighting with Russia and Turkey ami with
no concert of the powers to maintain the rules of civilized wai fare the woild
will probably be steeped in blood.
It is truly developing into a world-war ami only the God of battles him
self can tell the outcome.
IT IS STILL hard to believe most of the stories that are told about the
war. One thing cannot be denied, no matter in what direction ones sympa
thies lie, and that is that the Germans are gaining ground all the time. It
is also certain that the allies are lighting stubbornly and well and that the
German invaders cannot hope to walk across b ranee as easily as they did
forty-four years ago. Then the French armies surrendered, now they are
lighting to the death, tor national deuth it is if they meet ultimate defeat.
With a quarter of a million Turks attacking Russia in the southwest the
relief of the Austrians ought to be tremendous. At present Austria seems to
be getting the worst of ,t if the telegrams from Bucharest can be believed
and the coming of the T>rks would mean evening the strength, and evening
the strength means the prolongation of the war. Aye, everything that has
occurred since the beginning of the butchery has tended to increase the dur
ation of it. It looks as if the demons had conspired with their earthly allies—
the European concert—mark that word—CONCERT of powers.
And do telegrams friendly to Russia from Bucharest mean that Roumania
also will be drawn into the vortex in the sea of blood? Does it mean that all
the Balkan states will rush again at each other’s throats and that the inhu
man hate engendered by past wars will be loosed with no hand to separate
them ?
To say now that the war is the greatest the world ever saw seems like a
weak joke.

ALASKANS ARRIVE

Men Who Have Taken Big Parts in
the Upbuilding of the Territory
booking Over Seward
Clyde L. Morris and Ed E. Flem
ing, two men who have left their
mark in the pages of the story of
Alaska’s upbuilding, arrived yester
day afternoon on the Mariposa and
will leave as soon as possible to take
a look over the country around Sew
ard.
Mr. Morris was formerly president
of the Arctic club in Seattle but he is
chiefly noted for the fact that as a
contractor he built more than four
hundred miles of ditches on Seward
Peninsula alone. He was also the
I contractor who built the Seward
Peninsular railroad and various other
' works. Major L. H. French, to whose
camp Mr. Morris and Mr. Fleming
will go first, has recently purchased
half an interest in the business of Mr.
Morris.
Mr. Fleming was the head of the
mining firm of Fleming Brothers and
! Hanks which took out big money and
operated extensively in the good old
! days of the Nome Third Beach lino.
Mr. Fleming was also associated with
the Wild Goose Mining company of
that camp in his time and is one of
the most prominent of the early
Nomeites. While they are in Seward
they will “look over the country”, but
that is all they wish to say.
NEWS FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE NORTHLAND
C. McKinzie, of Nome, was bound
over to await the action of the grand
jury for trying to shoot Judge (Jeorgc
| D. Schofield, an attorney of that place
! recently. The men had had some diffi
culties over a mining claim.
James Fish, member of the central
committee of the republican organiza
tion, has issued a call for republicans
to enroll and join a republican club
which is to be organized in Valdez.
Similar clubs are being started In
Cordova and Seward and the organi
zation plans an active campaign this
fall.—Valdez Prospector.
News from Colorado creek, Innoko
| country, state that the winter dumps
cleaned up remarkably well, several
: of the miners taking out as much as
! $10,000 for the winter’s work.
Juneau—John Reck, J. (1. Heid, I1.
Wolland, J. T. Martin, Ralph Robert
son, K. C. Russell, R. A. Gunnison,
Wni. Britt, J. McKanna, Mark Rus
sell and J. B. Caro were named at
the primary meeting in the Juneau
city council chambers Saturday night,
to be delegates to the non-partisan
convention called by the mayors of
different towns in the first judicial di
vision to place a ticket in the field
for members of the territorial legis
lature.
Carefully prepared estimates show
that the placer gold production of the
Fairbanks district this year will total
approximately $.‘1,791,000. This is
about the same as the production last
I year.
Miss Ware, principal of the Cor
dova schools, and Miss Crabb, the as
sistant principal, are now visitors in
Seward. The ladies arrived on the
Mariposa and decided to remain here
instead of going west.
- -
Dr. VV. W. Babcock of Philadelphia
came on the Mariposa to do some
hunting. He was to have come with
Thomas Martindale, the author, but
Mr. Martindale was prevented at the
last moment from making the journey
by matters arising from the war.
