The results which are being felt from the war in Alaska and even in
countries more remote show how closely intertwined are the affairs of the
people of the world. The nations which arc now at war are, indeed, the key
stone to the political structure of the mundane sphere. When they get shaky
the whole structure threatens to crumble and from Persia, Egypt, Asia Minor,
>outh Vfrica and various other parts of the earth come already the rumbling
as of a great building becoming disintegrated.
Perhaps when the war among the chief European nations has passed
there will still he war in the countries which have recently become embroiled
and which are still to enter it. .The Lokal An/eiger of Berlin already has
stated that the time will come when Japan will have to answer to (.ermany for
the capture of Tsingtau. When one side is defeated in the great war there
will continue struggles of a religious and other kinds in countries where
teligion is still a passion. In colonies of the defeated nations will occur re
bellions and revolutions. The defeat of Russia by Japan was followed by a
Russian revolution and who can sav that the defeat of Bet many or Austria
or Russia or any of them may not be followed by a revolution in I oland,,
Hungary, Alsace, India or some place else.
The great nations by declaring war have not only removed the keystone
of the political structure hut they have given rein to passions which are
mighty hard to extinguish once they are lighted by the hope of satisfying
them. Already we see how in the breast of Japan has been lighted the hope
ol being a real power in the Pacific. Turkey and Egypt have held out to
them the chance of throwing off the yoke of the hated Christian. Maybe tomor
row the royalists will try again to place a king on the throne of Portugal.
China may come to the conclusion that an opportune time has arrived to
drive out the foreign devil. The Moors and the Algerians may come to the
conclusion that France’s hands are tied and that liberty might he won.
Almost every country in the world has waited for years to find some j
other in a position in which its defeat would he easy. This is already becom
ing evident b> the actions of the Boers and the Khedive. It Italy was only half ,
sure that Austria would he licked she would he in the struggle at this moment.
If Koumania believed that Russia would win she would be at Russia’s side.
If Bulgaria had faith in the ultimate victory of Germany she would attack
Servia tomorrow and Greece the day after if necessary.
That is the political structure of the world—a structure that is made
op like a rickety stone wall without plaster from which the taking of a few
large stones might mean the toppling of the whole.
It was easy to >tart the great war but it will probably be much harder
to finish it. Neither the Germans can honorably sacrifice the Turks by making
peace nor can the allies sacrifice the Belgians or the Servians. \Nith great
hordes of Mohammedan> in arms only heaven can see the end.
Thus has the loosening of the keystone let loose the whole pile and af
fected all civilization and even barbarians. Financially the world is affected
and politically it will be very much affected in every part, probably, before
this war is ended. But this is realty no war. It is an upheaval of humanity.
It is a hurricane that has disturbed the whole human pool and it has not yet
leached its full fury.
ROW AT LATOI'CHE.
A row recently occurred at La
touche in which a Seward man named
Terazin, to spoil the name phonetical
ly, is reported to have been stabbed.
The information was conveyed in a
letter received by last mail that the
other party to the reported scrap is in
jail in Valdez. It is reported that
stabinp was a feature of the fifrht.

BELGIANS WILL
NOT QUIT DOGS
DOGS ARE USED IN BELGIUM
AS IN ALASKA AND
are valuable.
(By The Associated Press.)
DOVER, Nov. 23.—England has a
law regulating the importation of
dogs which has caused great grief to
refuges forced to seek the safety of
British soil. The law requires all dogs
to he held in quarantine for six
months before they can be given lib
erty in England and oflieials at ports
of entry have no authority to waive it
in airy case.
Many Belgian women and children
saved their dogs when war drove them
from home and managed to keep their
pets through all the rush and scramble
of the exodus, but when they reached
Folkestone, Dover or any other port
of entry they were told that English
laws would not admit animals which
were not held for six months.
One woman ut Folkestone asked to
be taken back to Ostend with her dog,
but Ostend was closed. In fact it was
probably in the hands of the Germans
who held less terror for her than the
order that she must leave her dog.
Finally she consented to have of her
friends drown the pet, as she said she
could not bear to have it locked up in
a compound for six months.
Few refugees had any knowledge
of the strict English law about ani
mals. However, some of the experi
enced travelers who came from Bel
gium managed to slip pets past in
spectors because of the great rush
and the hurried examination given all
luggage.
One Flemish refugee brought his
wife, eleven children and a dog to
Folkestone. He was penniless, but un
willing to part from the dog and asked
that quarters be obtained for the fam
ily in Folkestone so they might be
able to visit the dog every day.

HOW BELGIANS
CROWD HOLLAND
FLIGHT FROM ANTWERP CAUSES
A WHOLE RACE TO
SCATTER.
(By The Associated Press.)
BERGEN OP ZOOM, Holland, Nov.
24.—Conditions among the Belgian re
fugees crowded into this little city are
typical of the situation in all Dutch
towns near the Belgian border. With
a population of 10,000 ordinarily, Ber
gen op Zoom now shelters about 20,
000 persons. Most of the homes have
given over rooms to refugees. Barns,
warehouses, churches and other public
buildings have been turned into dor
mitories and eating houses.
During the siege of Antwerp re
fugees were sent here by the train
load. Most of them were penniless,
for the Belgians who had money went
to London or some of the large Dutch
cities.
The burden of feeding the refugees
has fallen heavily upon the Dutch gov
ernment and the various municipali
ties which are doin their best to
make the homeless Belgians comfor
table. Most of them have only the
clothes they are wearing and philanth
ropic committees are providing under
wear and endeavoring to supply
warmer garments for the peasants,
many of whom are lightly clad.
Thousands of Belgians who were
unable to get into crowded trains
walked to Bergen op Zoom. Invalids
were brought on pushcarts. Some of
the refugees carried enlarged port
raits of relatives. Others carried
chairs. Frequently the women had
sewing machines on dogcarts together
with bundles of clothing tied in sheets.
The Belgians and Hollanders living
near the border have a common lang
uage and are similar in appearance.
Many wear the wooden shoes seen so
generally in Holland and the little
girls have quaint white caps worn on :
frames with wire curls that project in »
front of the ears. The peasant men
also wear distinctive Flemish costum
es,—trousers extremely loose and but
toned to a short-waisted shirt of the
same material.
Having no work or means of re
creation the refugees in Bergen op
Zoom gather about the railway station
where Hutch soldiers stand on guard
and keep the Belgians away from the
passage to and from the trains.
Refugees who have lost members of
their families have chalked notices on
the walls of stations in many of the
Dutch towns. Such signs as “Jean
Marie de Maries of Antwerp went to
Amsterdam on OctoberlS” or “ will ;
Mari.e de Maries of Antwerp please I
write to her mother in care of Roosen- j
daal Relief Committee where she is?”
may be seen written on the brick walls
of railway buildings or posted in sta-!
tion windows. Relief committees in all
the towns are flooded with letters
from persons seeking lost relatives.
