SEWARD, ALASk V. PR IDAY, JUNE 23, 1916. !
Just now while that Mexican affair is proceeding it is
the most interesting event for American citizens. It is
impossible to let the thoughts wander from it very long.;
Sometimes the old feeling comes that it is nothing more
than the threat of a small war which must end quickly in
the complete victory of this country, and, yet, sometimes
comes the thought that the situation is pregnant with pos
sibilities that might well cause anxiety.
The hostility of the South American republics is a
very serious consideration. Not only can the Spanish
Americans aid the Mexicans during the war with muni
tions but later will be engendered a feeling of hostility be- j
tween the Spanish speaking portions of the continent andj
the English speaking population, which may mean loss of
commerce and the virtual nullification ot the Monroe
Doctrine. Indeed, in the war which looked so close yester
day when we heard of the deaths of the American cavalry
men may be the germs of future struggles similar to those
which have been drenching the soil of Europe with blood
fur centuries. Who knows that we now are not watching
the birth of a storm which may rage in slaughter for ages
over this continent? How can we tell that this very day
we are not standing at the apparently small source of a
river of blood which will gain volume from the veins of
the two great races of the continent and roll on its agoniz
ed course to the ocean of eternity as Europe's river of
blood has flowed and is still flowing and will continue to
flow because all men do not speak the same tongue and
cannot understand or sympathize with each other's aims
and ambitions and prides.
If the United States could honorably now withdraw
from Mexico it would be conferring a blessing on posterity
by doing so. This giant republic has no honor to gain by
defeating the Mexicans and over-running their country.
The world would, indeed, be rather inclined to favor the
smaller nation and we should be only hoarding up for our
selves an unfriendly feeling from all peoples. To defeat
Mexico might mean the injection into the blood of both
peoples of that germ of traditional hatred which scarcely
ever dies. And still it may lie necessary to invite the
calamity.
* - ~ ■ - ■ ■ _ « --
No doubt, everyone is asking himself these days how
a war with Mexico would work out and there are some
facts which come home to us. Mexico is more than two
thousand miles in length. If it could raise an army in pro
portion to population equal to the one Great Britain rais
ed when necessary it could have over a million armed men.
It is nearly a thousand miles wide in places with vast
deserts and few railroads. What if Japan decides to
manufacture munitions and ship them to the Mexicans
as we have manufactured and shipped them to European
belligerents? The latter is a serious thought.

Homestead.
A tract in Woodrow is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.
The price is so low that no one can complain.

block in Seward for $125. — Some fractional tracts are
selling as low' as $25—$50 and $75.
