THAT STORY of the preparations by the French authorities to defend
Baris has an ominous sound to say the least of it. It certainly looks us
though another “debacle” was about
HOW WILL THE WAR KMC to be visited on the unfortunate but
brilliant republic which has never seen
a progressive moment since the genius ot Napoleon became wrapped in the
sleep of death in St. Helena. For years, since the Germans conquered it,
France has given itself over to an orgy of family killing and tiee thinking.
It had reached the zenith of power and by the law of providence it began to
seek the nadir as the g.eat empires of the world betore it.
And. yet. no one can contemplate the fall of beautiful France from its
high station without regret. For centuries she has been first in peace, fust
in war and first in the arts, ami it* she has come to the termination as a great
nation—w hich may not be so- she may yet take a lesson from her niisfoitune
and once more arise before the complete history of the world is wiitten.
However, there i> little hope for France, apparently, in the present con
flict. Germany is beating her more easily than she heat her in l^TO.
In that war the city of Metz was captured only in October although the
war was begun in August. On the fu st ot August this year the Get mans
entered Belgium. A couple of days later the British government declared
war, and since that time, only a littV over three weeks ago the Germans have
over-run Belgium, defeated the french and British and are now swarming
over French territory.
From the place where the Germans now are to Baris is about lit* miles.
From Metz, where Bazaine surrendered in lyTO. is about 170 miles, so that
the distance to be traversed now is much less.
On the other hand the French armies at Metz and Sedan surrendered in
the last war but the l rench armies in the present war are not captive and
can, no doubt, still offer strenuous resistance to the invaders.
In other parts of the theater of war we find the Russians advancing in
awful force. France had n » such ally in ly70 but neither did Germany have
Austria at hor back. a-, the whole matter now probably depends on the abil
ity of Austria to ho d tin- Russians in chock until the forces of Germany are
freed from their work against the French and British.
Should Germany and Austria defeat all their enemies on the continent the
British fleet still remains and the chances are most favorable for Britain to
continue the war and keep Germany from the seas unless the Germans can
secure a stronger navy by the conquest of the French and Russians.
At least, this is the way. no doubt, that the matter looks to all laymen.
Evidently the German troops are too well trained and the armies as a whole
are too carefully equipped and handled for their enemies and it seems u
nothing but the overwhelming millions of the Russians can save the day
for the allies.
SOCIALISTS SPLIT 1’I*
IN FAIRBANKS DISTRICT
Reports from Fairbanks of recent
date show that the socialists in that
division are hopelessly split. Some of
the members of that party. so-‘*alled,
accuse a woman named Mrs. Mor ow
Lewis, a socialist “orator" of havinjr
persona! ambitions. She is opposed
by many of the people who former!)
supported socialist candidates and it
is >aid that many workingmen, who
are not socialists, but who support so
cialists because they believe them to
be in favor of workers, will vote for
one of the other candidates.

ROUMANIAN KING MAY
ABDICATE THE THRONE
Illness Given as the Reason For His
Expected Retirement
ROME, Aug. 28.—King Charles of
Roumania is reported to be very ser
iously ill and may abdicate the throne
as he feels the task of ruling too
heavy in the present state of Europ
ean affairs and while he is physically
weak. It is possible that his retire
ment may be due to differences of
opinion with his subjects regarding j
the question of Roumanians position j
with respect to the great conflict.
