IF THE REPORTS coming from the seat of war yesterday can be cred
ited there is a reign of carnage ahead that will, in the words of Oom 1 aul,
stagger humanity.
Never can the British empire lie quiescent un
1T WILL STAGGER der defeat at the hands of the Germans while
HI MAMT\ there is a drop of masculine British blood or a
shilling in the British treasury, for defeat for
Britain in the present war means the wrenching by the Teuton ot all the
fruits of a thousand years of patriotic sacrifice, progressive statesmanship
and national concentration. From the pinnacle of the edifice of national
pride defeat would reduce the British empire to a secondary place in the con
cert of the nations and humble that pride to a depth where death and beg
gary would be preferable.
On the other hand Germany is fighting for the very breath of her na
tional existence. To her defeat would mean the crushing down from the
sight of the promised land of the greatest world power to exterior darkness,
weeping and gnashing of teeth, from being the dictator ot the poluiis of
powers she would beconn* the craven beggar pleading for colonial or com
mercial crumbs that fc from the tables of her conquerors. 0\ei hei would
stand for centuries the despised Slav and the hated t»aul with whips in hand
and with words of contempt upon their lips.
Britain and Germany are proud nations and defeat to either would be
damnation. The\ have become accustomed to rule and under the heel of
others either and it.- people would crumble as a giant would shrink under the
contemptuous command- of masters. I he greater the height from which a
nation falls the greater will be its crash and the more destructive will be the
consequences, for nation-, being collections of individuals, are subjeit to the
same influences as individuals and their fate is similar under similar cir
c imstances.
Rome and Greece and Troy and Spain and the rest when once defeated
fell a prey to despair and were stunned beyond the power of recuperation as
a once haughty mi ;i»*naii*o who 'oses his fortune shrivels under the con
tempt of his former associates while men who are no poorer but were never
richer carry themselves with confidence.
Defeat for Britain or Germany in the present war means the loss of all
that national life holds dear. No doubt there is a superior intelligence to
ours which, apparently at least, has ordained that nations which have ruled
must fall —that the nation that lives by the sword must perish by the sword,
and that to all peoples must be given the privilege of commanding and the
curse of national slavery or national humiliation.
So, history is only about to repeat itself and one of those nations must
fall from its high estate. The fall will be awful. Men who have strutted in
the insolence of conquest must bow their heads to the inevitable. They must
watch their commerce fade and their wealth vanish. They must see their
flag ignored and hear the name of their once proud nation uttered snccr
ingly or. at best, with insulting and patronizing sympathy.
Therefore neither can surrender while there is breath in their body or
blood in tlnir vein.-. And the saddr-t truth of all is that l>oth must pursue
their career of carnage until one i.- .-mothered in its blood for the survival of
both as great nation- is out of the question. It must be Britain or Ger
many in the lead of the commerce of Europe one or the other, or the con
tinuation of the beggaring preparation- of both for that ultimate and inevita
ble struggle for supremacy in Europe.
General Manager l>. L. Thane, oi*
the Alaska (lastmeau Mining com
pany, thinks that there is nothing in
the conditions created by the Kuro
pean war that should cause concern
among Alaskans. Material conditions
here he thinks are sound* even though
there may be a slacking up in de
velopment temporarily. **£>o far as
the Alaska Gastineau Mining com
pare is concerned,” he said, “the work
will continue just as outlined and the
mills will be finished on time. There
will be no cessation of the work at
Kensington either. Everything will
move along just as planned.”
