There** a little sermon we should all preach to ourselves every morning
while we live in small, quite Alaskan towns. By preaching it is meant that
it should be kept forever before our minds.
That little sermon is that we should not take too seriously the little ir
ritations that are inevitable in small communities.
We should not make mountains of trouble out of mole hills of nothing
but passing misunderstandings.
How often do we meet men and women who speak bitterly of each
other although each might be the best people on earth under ordinary circum
stances and under better circumstances might be the best of friends, one to
the other.
We should always remember that the trivial differences which must
come when all are thrown together constantly are by no means serious
w rungs.
It is a well known fact that men and women who while they spent a
winter together in the small town hated each other have become the best
iriends when they meet later outside.
These little spats which we are prone to regard as fierce quarrels are
nothing but the little irritations that might happen to members of the same
immediate family.
There is no place in the world where so many ridiculous divisions, social
and otherwise, occur as in some little community whose limits are narrowed
by and whose life is isolated by forbidding climate all around. There no
strange faces come to distract the thoughts of the local people from each
other and throwing people constantly together without change always means
irritation.
It has come to be proverbial that partners cannot avoiu angry rauwcms.
(let two men isolated in a cabin for a winter and let those two men be Hoi)
Job and Solomon the Wise and yet there will come moments when Job will
hum with the desire to hit Solomon over the head with the frying pan.
It is thus with a larger number of people isolated, only it is thus in a less
intense degree in direct ratio to the numbers of such people. 1 he smaller the
town the more intense the bitterness.
And. vet, this same Holy Job and this same Solomon can in later years
feel ashamed of themselves and later still can laugh at the remembrance of
the little tiffs.
William Jennings Bryan ha> hit on the finest plan in the world to avoid
wars. His plan is that whenever there is trouble between two nations a com
mission will weigh both sides of the case, tor a certain period the two angr)
countries must wait while the commission is at work. By this means Mr.
Bryan believes the nations »ill have time to let their angry passions cool.
Foxey W illiam Jennings.
When we were all kids our mothers used to advise us to count ten before
entering into a quarrel and before »e had come to seven we usually declared
hostilities at an end.
As the kid i> father to the man or the women the man or woman is
usually a good deal of a kid, and the trouble is that he or she often shows it.
Now, let us like good kids keep as friendly as we can to each other. Life
for the winter will be all the pleasanter tor all of us.
Amen.

BERLIN, Nov. 10.—Carl Diem,
General Secretary for the Olympic
Games, who, as earlier cabled, was
wounded in the fighting before Paris,
has sent to the Lokal Anzeiger from
the hospital the following letter des
cribing a night attack by troops of the
Guard Corps:
“After the battles near the village
of Youlpaix August 29 and 30 our reg
iment had a rest day, then marched its
30 miles September 1 and the same
distance September 2. The third day
we seemed to have caught the enemy
and were incessantly on the move un
til late at night deploying and taking
up various positions. We failed to cat
ch him, however, and made camp dis
appointed and utterly exhausted. Tho
long desired field kitchens, our “goulJ
ash cannon,” as the soldiers name
them, had just appeared, steaming de
liciously, when we got word that the
enemy had occupied the village of
Marsaux, a few miles away, and en
trenched. Several companies of our
regiment were told off for the ussault,
some against the village, the others
for a flanking attack. Daylight had
long vanished when we marched out.
“Unload rifles!’ was the first com
mand. Not a pleasant command for
the infantryman,—to take the cartri
dges from his beloved rifle, now of no
more use to him than a feather until
he gets breast with the enemy. But
what is the use.-orders are orders and
in night fighting this order is parti
I cularly called for if comrade is not to
shoot comrade, and the cartridges rat
I tie from his magazine.
“We march out through the still
| September night, the moon lighting
our way but lighting us as well.
“We leap a couple of ditches, burst
through the hedges and fences and la
bor up the steep slope of a ploughed
field, the companies moving forward
in complete silence. Suddenly when
we are about a hundred yards from
the brow of the hill, it rains bullets,
most of them luckily going high. The
field fairly seems to spew rifle balls.
The tension is slackened. No command
is needed; there is the enemy. Bayo
nets are fixed and the platoons deploy
ed in an instant and with a ‘hurrah’
the men charge forward against the
enemy. These disappear, however, fal
ling back on the real position, the vil
lage itself. It is 400 yards away, the
charge takes from our ovei taxed
lungs every last atom of breath.
“The silhouette of the village
stands out dark before us and its wall
spray out lead and fire. The church
spire spits out sparks like a fireworks
i display piece. Long streams of fire
playing from every aperture, and
■ around our ears whistles and whizzes
the hail of steel. We trip over an un
. suspected wire, splash headlong into
| a ditch full of water, climb the church
yard wall. House after house is taken
with the bayonet, house after house
bursts into flames, then pursuit con
tinues through the village and for sev
eral miles beyond. It is almost dawn
.
before the exhausted troops come to
rest and fling themselves down to
sleep rifle in hand and without troubl
ing themselves to unsling their heavy
packs from their backs.
“How often have I laughed to my
1 self at the youngest of our officers
j when he delivered his naive lectures
to the men and wondered what respect
his platoon of reservists, grown men
five to seven years his senior, would
have in real battle for his twenty ir
responsible years.—In the battle of
the Marne, the bloodiest of the war to
date, I lay wounded among comrades
whose voices were already still and
watched his platoon go into action on
the left flank. A line of French tren
ches spit fire from machine guns, rif
les and artillery' and against it our

men charged forward to certain death.
At their head our youngester lieuten
ant, laughing as usual, led the way in
a whirlwind advance by rushes, his
dwindling squad following him devo
tedly until the bullets took him.
“Our next youngest lieutenant was
unpopular, owing to his biting scath
ing tongue, always rasping the sensib
ilities of the men. And yet we all
came to love him. Once when we seem
ed to be sitting in a ginantic corn
popper of artillery hail against which
no umbrella could protect, this tongue
of his usally so scathing, kept us in
roars of laughter while old Brother
Break-Bones swung his iron flail
above our heads. 1 saw him too that
day on the Marne lying still and white
beneath the pines.
“The third ofllcer—a reserve ofllcer
was his exact opposite. He rarely had
a word to say and silent as usual, on
that day at Voulpaix when we could’nt
make out whence the enemy’s fire was
coming he stood erect upon a wall in
the full firo. We pulled him down with
a broken leg but not before he hud
pointed out the enemy to us.
“The eldest of our lieutenants was
also a reserve ofllcer. He knew every
little kink of soldering. He was equal
to every emergency. Before we march
ed out he helped the inexperienced to
make their wills. He too was ready, I
am sure, when on that bloody sixth
of September his life went out like so
many others.
“And our captain with the gouun,
honest heart and the celebrated name;
he new every one of the 270 men en
trusted to him, the circumstances and
the duty for every individual was fit
ted. Never during the entire cam
paign have we run out of bread and
every day with few exceptions we had
two warm meals. For that we had to
thank his unwearying care. And when
we had our baptism of fire from trc
artillery,—we lay unprotected in a
wood and could not stir,—he walked
up and down before us, calmly puf
fing at his pipe and staking his life
for no other purpose than to give us
courage. For him too was the battie
on the Marne his last day. His own
leg broken and with a gaping wou id
in his breast, he bound up the head of
the bugler lying beside him anu mur
mured ‘poor youngester, poor young
ster.’ He was buried the next day.
Tears are not often shed in the field
but his little hillock was damp.”
The name ‘‘Gamble’s” Is a trade
mark and wherever seen is a guaran
tee of wholesomeness and cleanliness.
