VON TIRPITZ THE PROPHET
Von Tirpitz verifies the judgment and the utterance
of President Wilson. There can be no peace, there can be
no victory for justice that will be maintained in peace with
the German government unless that government shall be
responsible to and express the will of the German people.
Von Tirpitz puts it this way: “The greatest victory can
not replace the immense sacrifices we have made, ihe
peace of the reichstag majority would mean Germany s
defeat.” *
There is but one Germany in the von Tirpitz mind
end that is Germany Prussianized, with the lvaiser as its
deity. To reach a peace settlement through the German
people, by the will and the hope and the aspirations of the
people as they are slowly awakening to the bloody Ma
chiavellianism* of their Prussian masters, must, by the very
logic of human nature, mean the unseating of those mas
ters and the birth of a new nation that will sever all kin
ship with Prussianism.
From the von Tirpitz utterance it is evident he can
perceive at least the promise of a new spirit in Germany,
for which democratic civilization so fondly hopes. \ on
Tirpitz makes the issue precisely as President \\ ilson has
stated it. The only peace that Prussianized Germany can
accept is a Prussian peace; and that is no peace at all.
THANKS, MR. Sl'LZER
The thanks of the people of Alaska are due to Dele
gate Sulzer for the passage ot the bill exempting claim
owners from doing assessment work this year. It is con
ceded that to him is due the credit. The service is not a
slight one by any means. Particularly beneficial is it to
those of the Gastineau Channel district, and those engaged
in operating mines throughout this section of Alaska. It
is beneficial, of course, because it saves the cost of the as
sessment work to claim owners but its particular value
to the people is because of the relief to the labor situation.
The operating mines need far more men than they now
have. If it had not been for the action of Congress sev
eral hundred men would have to be taken from other use
ful occupations where they are helping to keep the wheels
of industry moving in order to perform the work on the
many hundred unpatented claims within this section of
the Territory. Such a burden would be a very serious
' matter at this time.

count of this excellent service by Delegate Sulzer, an
achievement that was particularly difficult of attainment
at this time on account of the war, with the work it is en
tailing upon Congress, and because of the circumstance
that Congress is anxiously trying to get through with the!
extraordinary session and secure a few weeks’ respite be

The American Army casualty list in the great war has
begun. It has begun, most appropriately for a contest ol
Kultur which has shamelessly thrown aside all the re
straints of civilization and humanity, in an air raid on a
hospital, plainly marked, many miles back of the fighting
front. For Germany it could not have begun worse.—
