SEWARD, AL ASK 'll ESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1913.
When Lord Loreburn. former Lord Chancellor of England, declared a
few days ago in the house of lords that if the present war lasts very long it
will lead to anarchy and revolution he probably said what most people will be
lieve who take time to think. If the cable appearing in yesterday’s Gateway
to the effect that the war 1ul- spread to the frontier of Afghanistan and
India, is correct it means that a conflagration has been started in vast and
combustible regions where the work of extinguishing it will be more diffi
cult than the work of extinguishing the war in Europe itselt. While the
power policemen of the world are tearing at each other’s throats who will
keep peace in the remote regions of the earth when* nothing but the teai ot
the other nations has maintained peace for decades and centuries ?
This war is truly like a great forest tire. One by one are the nations
of the earth being involved as groups of trees flare up when the wind drives
the forest fire onward. And now into the inflammable timber of the fur
East the flaming sword is piercing and casting the sparks where religious
and racial passion, uncurbed by the restraint ot civilization, is waiting onl>
the chance to blaze forth. Not the kaiser of Germany nor the czar of Russia
knew, perhaps, what a terror they were about to launch on the world when
they sent those smug diplomatic “notes" at the end ot July a year ago. Now.
with their deadly arms thrown about each other in a tatal embrace they see
the savage hordes let loose without the saving demands of civilization to
halt them on their course, and with all the savagery of the ancestors,
fanaticism and hate spurring them on to mutual destruction. The fire start
ed in Serbia and blazed north. Suddenly the wind changed and the forks of
flame shrieked south wan! and now through the heart of Europe and Asia
the tongues of fire rise to the heavens. What will happen even when
Europe bleeds herself to a compulsory peace and the powers find themselves
without the men or the money to extinguish the flame which they themselves
in their blindness created?

! THE TRAVELER TURNS
TURTLE AT SELDOVIA
The launch Traveler, the property
of Captain Cramer, turned turtle at
I Ship Creek about a week ago and is
now lying bottom up. A tug is at
tempting to right her but it is fear
ed that she may be a total loss. The j
accident was due to the fact that the j
captain took his boat up the creek j
; and thought he had anchored her in
1 the bed of the stream but when the!
I tide went out it was found that the 1
Traveller was resting on the steep
bank so that when the water receded i
she turned over. The boat went to
Anchorage from here and her owner
is a Seward man.

FATHER AND DAUGHTER
INJURED ON SAME DAY
The Cook Inlet Pioneer just to hand
records the peculiar fact that a father
and daughter received injuries from
different causes on the same day in
Anchorage recently. A sign fell on
H. Fitzgerald, badly lascerated his
lip and inflicted other injuries. On
the same day a case fell on his
daughter Marian, fractured her jaw :
and displaced the front teeth.

HAS NOT FOUND THE
STEAMER MACKINAW
ASTORIA. Nov. 16.—A wireless
message has been received from the
tug which went out in search of the
steamship Mackinaw stating that the
vessel cannot be found. It is under
stood that she became disabled and
sent out wireless calls for help but
nothing has been heard from her for j
a day or two. The fact that the tug
has not found here is not regarded as 1
alarming as the Mackinaw might be'
constantly drifting.
