SEWARD. ALASKA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 7. 1916.
The fact that the British alone lost sixty thousand men in the September
drive *»:ows us the futility of even trying to get a mental grasp of the
groat war and what it means. Sixty thousand men means once and a half
the number of the whole white population of Alaska, lhat number in itself
is more than the mind can envelope. Even the commander-in-chief of the
army who gave the word to advance could not bring home to mind the im
mensity of the numbers that took part in the attempt although it was only
one battle in one part of several fighting fronts. This war in reality the
clashing of oceans of men. It can never be brought home to us unless by
the work of some Homeric genius who by almost divine inspiration can catch
the enormity of it and by almost super-human skill can impart the stupendous
significance of it.
Leap yea** dances and Leap years altogether are supposed to be the
times when ordinary social sex relations are reversed, but as a matter ot
i'uct they are the times when the real sex relations appear in their normal
condition. There is a peculiar Action allowed to exist in the matter of sex and
that is that the man is the active party and the woman the passive. Every
man who ever “won” a woman prides himself on having captured something
uian the real truth is he himself ha* been made the prisoner. No lose an
authority than George Bernard Shaw has committed himself to this theory j
and no one w »o knows anything can refuse to agree with him. Almost any
woman outside the hideously ugly, and very few women are ugly, can manacle
and enslave any member of the opposite sex if she posseses only a particle o'
wit. A man »s only a slob at best. The very one who prides himself on being
a penetrating genius is very often the most gullible. The egotism which
makes him think he is something above the ordinary is the very character
istic which a woman uses against him when she takes it into her sweet heat!
to lanu him. Fhe knows him to be a fool and she plays him for one, and with
perfect success usually. Hundreds of men who made money in Alaska in
late bachelor life have found out the truth of this, but too late. None of
them learned \ hy they became so suddenly attractive until the money was
gone and the charmers with it.
Leap year is the only honest year of them all.
Newspapers in small towns very properly avoid scandals if they wish
to have the least ilaim to decency. Very often sensational papers just to
gain readers dwell on what should be hidden like sewers, and, unfortunately,
some people sometimes encourage the practise.

FEAR TORPEDOES.
By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
ATHENS, Greece, Dec. 110.—'(Spec
ial to Gateway)—Your Italian liner
comes across the Adriatic and the
Ionian seas toward Greece with all
lights out at night and the hearts of
passengers and crew in their throats.
Any moment the big Bang may
come. They tell you what life boat to
get into. Your seat is reserved for
you like a seat in the theatre.
The boats won’t be crowded this
trip. There arc fifteen big boats and
only thirty passengers.
At last, on the second morning you
sight land. The ship runs straight
toward a range of hills. Closer and
i
closer to the hilly shore we go.
Suddenly you see we are heading
for a niche cut through the mountain
range. It is straight as a string.
You can see it its further entrance
five miles away where it opens into
the Agean sea.
This is the Corinthian canal, plan
ned and begun by old Nero himself
and finished just as the twentieth
century opened fifteen years ago.
It is church time Sunday morning.
In a little village near the entrance to
the canal bell is ringing. It sounds,
like a church bell, but when you put
your glasses on the village you dis
cover that you are hearing the clat- j
ter of a Greek railroad train pulling
into a little station on the outskirts
of the town.
“What town is that?” you ask a
Greek fellow passenger.
“That’s Corinth.”
Why, there are two books in the
Bible named for this little town. And
here’s a train drawing into it past a
water tank—just like a tank in any
Kansas town—and stopping at a sta
tion just like any station in the
Indiana country.
Sunday morning and here before
you, is Corinth. Part of it is hidden,
it is true, by a ship full of Greek
soldiers, bound for the Balkan
frontier.
The Great W’ar leaves its mark on
Corinth just as it has left it on every

thing else in the world, from the lat
est stock quotation in Wall street to
the tourist-deserted streets of
Pompeii.
We get the ship’s bible and brush
up on Corinth. St. Paul established
a little church here once.
As we run over the two letters
which he wrote to the folks in the
church that once stood in this town*
we found out that there were times
when St. Paul was worried about thw
way things were going with the
church folks.
Some one in this little town that
lies before us one day received one
of these letters from Paul, which had
come by boat, perhaps over this very
bay of Corinth. He opened it and his
eyes were the first to read that pas
sage which, no matter how wars have
come and gone the world has never
forgotten. It begins:
“Though I speak with the tongues
of men and of angels and have not
charity, I am become as sounding
brass, or a tinkling cymbal.”
From the plateau behind the old
town a road winds down to meet the
village main street. With our glasses
we can see a long brown worm mov

ing slowly down the road toward the
town. It is made of the soldiers of
Greece, marching to the Corinth.
w'harf to sail toward the war.
Aeroplanes in this wfar have flown
over Nazareth. Jerusalem is in the
w'ar zone and here before your eyes
Greek soldiers are threading the
streets of Corinth.
On our left is Mount Parnassus,
w'hero the Greek gods used to live,
and as w'e sail into the high-walled
canal we see a Greek sentry standing
on a jutting headland, with the old j
home of the gods behind him.
