SEW \RD. VI.ASK A. SATURDAY. JUNE 5. 1915.
Every tragedy is inter*ined with the comedy which seems to he neces
sary to bring out in greater relief the tragic circumstances of the main plot.
In the supreme tragedy of the European conflict as the world audience gazes
transfixtd with horror along comes the republic of San Marino with a declara
tion of war against the Teutonic empires. The mighty nations of the world,
greater nations than those that ( aesar knew, have hurled their countless
legions in a fury of slaughter at each others’ throats. The continent of
Europe shakes to the thunder of belching cannon, the universe feels the war
tremble in every part and empires are fighting for their lives while out
comes the piping voice of San Marino threatening the struggling giants with
its puny fury. The thing can only be paralleled in illustration by describing a
menagerie of tigers and lions lighting to the death for the mastery while
the tiny lapdog of some whimpering female rushes into the fray. '
San Marino, the nation which has hurled its defiance at the legions of the
two kaisers, has a standing army of just nine hundred and fifty men! And
every tenth person in the total population is taken to make up that mighty
fighting force, for the imputation of the whole republic is just nine thousand
five hundred souls!
What a joke the threat of that great commonwealth must make in the
military camps of the great powers. Could it be* possible that some grim
Teutonic humor suggested the message that arrived here yesterday saying
that San Marino had entered the lists? It sounds more absurd than any thing
else imaginable. Nine hundred and fifty men to back up the hordes of the
crar of all the Russians and the empires, kingdoms and republics that are
now facing the three allied empires.
The area of San Marino is twenty three square miles, just about size
enough for a good lunatic asylum.
Japan has come to be regarded as almost a superhuman power because
it defeated the Russians hut the failure of Russia in the present war seems
to suggest that the Japan idol might after all have only feet of clay.
In the war against Japan Russia was compelled to transport her armies im
mense distances and supply them far. far away from their bases. In the
present war incompetence appears although Russia is fighting at home,
this incompetence is probably due to the system of government that dev el
opes countless subjects instead of independent citizens and men.

Richard Jackling, a well known Se
attle young man, who was dangerous
ly injured in the engine room of the
steamship Corwin May 15, as that
vessel was approaching Bering sea on
her way to Nome, is recovering at the
Dutch Harbor hospital of the United
States coast guard service, and he is
beginning to gain in strength.
Young Jackling was thrown into the
machinery by a violent lurch of tho
ship, and his leg was so badly mangl
ed that amputation below the knee
was necessary. The amputation was
performed in the coast gud t service
hospital. The young man has spent
several seasons in Nome as an em
ployeo of the J. J. Sesnon Company
and was on his way north to return to
its service when injured. He was em
ployed in the Corwin’s engine room
for the voyage.
