WHATEVER sentimentalists might say human nature is seen at its best
in war. It is also seen at its worst in that condition, of course, but can any
one imagine a more glorious heroism than that
THE GLORY OF W \R of Garros the Frenchman who far up in the air
charged a German airship and gave his life
willingly that he might strike a blow for his beloved fatherland?
He must have known it was death. Only a miracle could have saved him
but the dispatches tell us that he never paused for a moment but went to
his do* m because his doom was required for his country’s good and glory.
What are all the mouthings of a million politicians to that one act of
Garros? What could the greatest multi-millionaire purchase that could shed
such lustre on the name of his country ?
Garros is a hero and a martyr and a greater blessing to the world than
a thousand preachers for by his death he has elevated humanity in the minds
of humans themselves.
And, no matter what way our sympathies may lie. is not the spectacle of
Germany facing its mighty foes one that causes our nerves to thrill?
There is something inexpressibly, stupendously grand in the thought of
the German nation striking at its titanic foes on every side.
There is something truly magnificent in the sight of the men of beautiful
France standing on the frontiers of their beloved country and giving their
lives that the nation of centuries of glory might be saved from the invader. ,
There is everything heroic in gallant little ^ervia battling against the ,
might of the great Austrian empire.
Even there is something glorious in the parading of the Russian multf
tudes with bared heads praying through the streets that the land which gave
them birth might win honor and glory, no matter what starvation and tyranny
the morrow might bring forth.
It is inspiring to watch the men of Austria and Hungary march
against the serried hosts of the czar.
The cheering of the London populace shows that the martial ardor of the
Englishman still lives and that they are ready to stand by the side of their
allies.
War brings death, but does death really mean calamity? Those who sur
vive will mourn the beloved ones who die, but in the ordinary course of events
the sorrow of death would come to the same number. The youths who die
for a noble purpose will be mourned by the parents left behind but were
there no war matters would be reversed and those youths would live to mourn
their parents, and natural death so-called brings no more consolation than
death on the field of the battle.
Soft sentimentalists may prate about the horrors of war, and there are
horrors, but humanity will come purer and stronger, not more corrupt and
coarser, out of the ordeal.
WELL-KNOWN MINER
MEETS A SAD END
JUNEAU, July 22.—The body of
William Shroyer of Ruby, Alaska,
was found on the beath seven miles
south of Juneau last Saturday after
noon by employes of the Dupont
powder plant. The body was found
with only the head and shoulders out
of the water, and was fastened to the
sharp rocks, face down, with the shoe
of the right foot ofT and the trousers
torn from the knee to the ankle. De
ceased had at one time been engaged
in mining with Dan Sutherland, but
was suffering from a nervous shock,
having been struck on the head by an
ore bucket, causing a small clot of
blood on the brain, and was at times
very irrational. While at Tenakee
springs recently he attempted to walk
to Juneau. He was about 40 years of
age and has relatives in Wabash, In
diana.
“Billie” Shroyer was one of the
hardest working and best known
prospectors in Iditarod, Ruby and
other camps.
