Seward, Alaska. Wednesday, April 26,1916.
Some tim* ago this prophetic journal made the remark that the European
powers in declaring war started something which might pass be>on<l their
control, and they apparently did. We now constantly see the flame jump
into new* lands and the chances are that decades will pass and man> of the
present generation will lie in their graves before the last sound of this conflict
started in Central Europe in 1914 will have faded away.
The great powers, abominable as their rule of smaller nations has been
and ruthless as their oppression of subject nationalities was, still held the
peace of the world as the keystone holds the bridge. They were the police
men of the world. All the rest of the so-called brotherhood of nations had
to bow to their ruling and make peace when the Concert of the Powers said
so, and suddenly this restraining influence failed and the whole structure
began to loosen and crumble. As the great empires fastened their fingers
in the throats of each other the little subject nationalities began to think.
Each of those great powers swore it was lighting for the liberty of the
human race and the little nations wondered. “Strange," they said, “how a
powerful nation fights for the liberty of others and by brute force holds us
prisoners at one and the same time. How very extraordinary it is that such
a power bleeds for the liberty of those held by another power and ignores
the claims of the prisoners in its own hands.
So. other nationalities became restless, historians will tell us in the years
to come, and when the year 1930 came the world was still in the throes of the
struggle first begun apparently by the assassination of an Austrian prince.
Some of the original great powers had been disrupted and revolutions forced
them to leave the original struggle but remote countries took fire one by one
and like a prairie lire the center was soon consumed byt its own intensitj
while it spread out in a great circle and still flared around the edges.
A cataclysm of the stupendous proportions of this war could not possibly
pass away and have its consequences hidden in a year or two. Not only has
it let the whole kennel of the dogs of war loose but it has had a moral
effect on the universal human mind. Men who a few years ago concentrated
ail their thoughts on the sale of sausages or sugar or some similar prosaic
calling suddenly had their thoughts bent on things martial. What was the
sale of a sack of oaten meal when viewed beside the resounding march of
millions? Haberdashers became heroic and mechanics became martial. The
whole human race underwent a metahorphosis and now as the year 1931
dawns nation is murdering nation and the end of the slaughter still seems
remote.

NORFOLK, Va., April 18. — “One
