SEWARD, ALASKA. SATl'RDAV. Jl XE 21, 1916. _^
Probably the scene witnessed this morning, and sev
eral other mornings, from the middle of this city is one of
the most remarkable of the kind. The chances are that it |
von went back to New York and told the people there that
you could stand in the principal street of Seward and see a
great black bear roaming at large on the hillside in plain |
view they might liegin to have very strong doubts of the
quality of your veracity. j
----
If a person in any country were to try to treat a warj
in which that country was engaged with philosophic truth,
lie would lx* regarded as a traitor. The man who is most
prejudiced is the man who is least able to peiceive his own
prejudice. One of the experiences which come with years.
is that neutrals cannot see your enemy in the same lightj
as that in which you yourself see him. It is hard to heat,
the man or the country you hate praised by others but it|
is one of the hardships you must bear. Prejudice actually
steals a man’s senses from him in the same manner, but in
less intense degree than, intoxicants. I rejudice niakts
fools of us all.
Let us try some more military expert suggestions
from the profundity of our military knowledge. I hat is,
let us all try it and see if we can fathom what the real
significance of a war with Mexico would he. It w ill aid us,
anyhow, in getting beneath the surface over which we
have been accustomed to skim with a contemptuous refus
al to recognize the Mexicans as anything worthy of notice
in a military sense.
With sixteen millions of people Mexico ought to be
able to get a million soldiers if she can get the munitions
for them. At the battle of Gettysburg something like
70,000 or 80.000 men were engaged on each side, so that!
both those armies combined would be only about a sixth
of the total Mexican strength. This would go to show
that the Mexicans would probably be able to bring a very
formidable army into one battle, but. apart from the large
battles, Mexico with its immense trackless plains could
carry on the more irritating guerilla method of fighting.
If the United States goes into Mexico in a real invasion it
cannot come back without full conquest if future trouble
is to be avoided, and what will it mean to garrison a vast
teritory such as Mexico is? The Americans, no doubt, can
easily land at Vera Cruz and take Mexico City after some
severe battles but that will be only the beginning. Be
hind will be the deserts where the Mexicans can exist
much more easily than an organized regular army, and
one more fact which must be taken into consideration is
the hatred for Americans which has recently been made
so evident in Mexico and which will keep the Mexicans
lighting as only hatred can. That Mexican war will be no
picnic if it comes. Let us hope it will not.

The Beautiful Suburb
Of Seward
WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.
The Govt. Railroad runs through this beautiful tract.
Woodrow lies near Bear Lake the famous fishing
ground of Seward.
Woodrow may be said to be in the warm belt as the
hills are so situated as to shelter this tract from the winter
winds.
Woodrow is situated just this side of the Bungalow
and plotted on the most desirable portion of the Johnson
Homestead.
A tract in Woodrow is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.
The price is so low that no one can complain.
You can buy a tract of about one third the size of a
block in Seward for $125. — Some fractional tracts are
selling as low as $25—$50 and $75.
The title is clear—A warranty deed, first handed.
Woodrow is plotted in tracts situated each on a street
and corner on an alley. Each plot is easy to access.
Woodrow is a beautifully wooded tract and a veri
table park.
ROMIG & ROMIG are handling this property and
