If the statement made by Premier Asquith in the
House of Commons was correctly reported in the cable
of yesterday it would make one feel that peace is nearer in
Europe. The message clearly showed Asquith as saying
that Germany alone stood in the way of peace because
Germany wanted only a peace humiliating to the allied na
tions. In other words the statement meant that if the
Central powers were willing to agree to a peace that j
would he honorable to all sides this peace could be obtain
ed. The chances are the great war is nearly over and let
us hope it is. if for no other reason than because it is get
ting tiresome reading about great victories that never
happen.
The war is now hardly more than a blood-thirsty foot
ball scrummage. Either side might shove back part of
the other’s line but each side is fully prepared when shov
ed back to stick its heels in the ground and shove its
shoulder out in an opposition shove a little further back.
The only trouble is that each shove butchers some more of
the beings who were apparently selected as the lords of
the earth—lords of the lower animals, at least, and we are
lords of the lower animals because the wits given us for
other purposes are used so often for the destruction of
other beings, if not ourselves.
Since the occurrence was mentioned in print it has
been learned for a certaintv that the Mr. Trov who lost
* %>
his life by an automobile accident at Port Townsend some
days ago was the father of John W. Troy, editor of the Ju
neau Empire. The latter will have the sympathy of every
one who has known him during his manv wars in the ter
ritory.
The Alaska government railroad in some respects is
like the European war. In the beginning and while things
were uncertain disputes and dis-satisfaction were evident
but gradually everything will shape itself out and the end';
will be that the railroad work will be concluded and the
railroad be an accomplished fact almost without public
notice.
lH'G THROUGH FORTUNE
IN GRAPHITE TO REACH
A POOR GOLD MINE1

(Special to Gateway by United Press) 1
REDDING, Cal., August 12.—Hav
ing dug his way through a ledge of
graphite now worth a fortune, to
reach a poor gold mine from which he
has gotten a bare living for 14 years.
A. K. Egcrton of Whiskeytown has
ju.-t sold hi.- claim to H. S. Warmeck
of this city.
The graphite is valuable because

the war has shut off importations
from tier many.
When Kgerton drove a tunnel into
his gold mine over ten years ago. he \
eut a black ledge five feet in thick- '
ness. He passed up the “black stuff”:
as worthless and went on taking out
gold, his tunnel finally penetrating the
mountain H'on feet. The black ledge,1
which was really graphite, was en- <
countered ninety feet below the sur-; t
face. *
The name of the mine is “Ala Min’s t
