SEWARI). ALASKA. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 5, 1916
James Bryce, now Viscount Bryce, who made the
speech in England in favor of peace is the very highest
type of Englishman. He is a man of tremendous intel
lect. He has even written a work on the l nited States
constitution which surpasses far and away any work on
the same subject by any American or anyone else. He was
able in this work by his extraordinary acumen to read the
spirit of the United States as no American has ever been
able to read it, with the possible exception of Abraham
Lincoln. He has the gifts of the philosopher and poet
which enable him to see more in a glance than an ordinary
mind could observe in a lifetime, just as the poet can see
in a rib of grass qualities which the ordinary person could
never see. For men like him even “the stones talk.” To
him and his kind Great Britain owes its greatness, and
not to the jingoes and Tories. Men like him and John
Morlev, another of the brilliant former statesmen, saw at
the beginning of the European war more man the profes
sional politicians that caused it. The men who Lave no
right to be at the head of affairs except that they were
born with money saw in the war nothing but a quick con
quest, the destruction of the German fleet, the ruin of
German commerce and a triumphant march to Berlin.
lie Morlevs and the Bryces and the Burns and Trevely
ans protested and found it necessary for the sake of
unity to leave the government in the hands of inferiors
and blunder after blunder was the result until after the
slaughter of millions and no gain Bryce and his kind find
it necessary once more to make themselves heard. Ger
many and the others also had their Brvces and Morlevs,
. * *
no doubt, men who are in public life only to serve man
kind. On every question such men are on the side of the
masses while their opponents are on the side of the privi
leged who must have their interests conserved even if all
the workingmen in the nation must shed their blood for it.
In his speech yesterday in New York, William How
ard Taft declared that the speech of Bryce was the most
hopeful occurrence for two years. Taft would haidly
have said this unless he felt that Bryce is not alone in his
opinion or that the British government is now using a
person of unofficial status with the standing of a Bryce to
make the first step towards bringing about the end of the
war.
After this war we shall probably come nearer to fol
lowing the Bryces, the Bryans, the Wilsons and the ofher
advocates of international arbitration than ever. The
idiots with the brass buttons and the empty dreams of
puppy glory may have to go to work, for the world has
learned the lesson that the minds which can invent instru
ments of destruction are superior to the human flesh
which must be torn by them.

POLISH WOMEN CONVENE
TO CONTINUE FIGHT
FOR POLISH RELIEF |
BUFFALO, N. Y., Oct. 2.—Leading
Polish women of America gathered
here today to discuss ways and means j
of continuing the campaign to secure
permission from the ruling European
(lowers to allow food and other re
lief to be sent from the United States
to starving Poland.
The failure of a personal appeal by j
President Wilson to the belligerent
powers, made for the Polish Women’s
Alliance and other Polish organiza
tions, did not discourage the women
gathered here today.
An entire week will be devoted by
the delegates of the Polish Women’s
Alliance of America, in annual con ,
volition, in formulating plans they
hope finally will result in breaking
the blockade against Polish relief.
Mrs. Ignaz Paderewski, wife of the
famous pianist, who has been work
ing unceasingly for the last year in
behalf of her people, is here to ad
dress the delegates representing IS,- ;
000 women.
