HIE QUESTION OF PEACE
By Frank H. Si mm pads
At a lime whtn the whole world
is beginning lo discuss the ques
tiou of peace there is perhaps a
tirtaia appropriateness in reviewing
briefly t those i-fcicto wixlcii aeeiu per
tinent to this discussion. it is, in
addition, necessary that 'lie' Tribune
should set forth its view quite do
finitely, since certain of it„ readers
nava seemed in recent days to mis
understand iu statement*.
At the outset we may say that
the United States, like all the na
>iocs fighting Germany, is at war
because Germany has attacked not
merely or mainly the material in
trres's of the United States, but has
availed that whole body and frame
worn of international law and com
mon .Humanity which represents the
meaning for us o£ the word civiliza
tion. The Germans have done this
thing with the deliberate purpose
oi accomplishing thereby; certain
euds and aims, profitable and de
sirable tO;themseivos.
When Germany invaded Belgium
she tore/up, not a treaty merely,
not a single guarantee of specific
Uei^iau rights; she thrust a German
a word through, the whole ba^is of
iu'ernational right. When, having
done this, the Germans sought to
terrorize and subdue the people
wnose liberty they had invaded by
sys/ematic t arson, murder, rape; by
carrying the methods of the battle
field into their relations with civ
ilian populations, they similarly did
violence to that conception of J hu
manity which had prevailed hither
to throughout the civilized world
aud wa3 up to that time believed
'o urevail in Germany.
Iu sum, having tset out to im
pose a German, rule on certain por
tions of the,world, to conquer some
i aces and to annex and permanently
subjugate others, Germany hadk re
course to methods and to in
struments which 'were abhorrent to
civilized man. The massacre of Bel
gium were the work of soldiers
with weapons in their hands; the
crime of the Lusitania, the loosing
of poison gas at Ypres, the Use oi
tae Zeppelin and the aeroplane
against the jnom-combatant popula
tions ot open cities represented the |
combination of modern sciencej witlj
ancient J>arbarism. But all were
equally the expression of the same
tiermaa idea.f t ! ;
The consequence of this German
procedure wag to give the [present
war a wholly different character
from all otherj^rars in modern his
tory, It was recognized in France,
'a Britain, it has later been recoff'
r.ised in Italy) Russa and the Unit
ed States, that the real issue ot
fae vrar was whether the Germanl

t*ie high mountain range east of
Whitehorse and at an elevation
between 1500 and 2000 feet above
th» valley. Gold wa# discovered there

are to sink shafts to the bed rock
aud if results prove satisfactory
to operate on a larger scale. Should
the new diggings prove to be as
hoped the Alaskan jvill keep i'a
reader^ fully informed.
From authentic eources in Skag
way it is learned that the Pueblo
mine, near Whitehorse, is j fast
being pumped out and drained of its
water. Mining operations axe al
ready in program and it is | expect
ed that this copper producing mine
will again soon, be operating on ra
scale equal to that previous to the
disaster. General manager Berg is
pushing the work of rec&mation
and hag raeched the 400 foot level.
The government,diamond drill was
recovered almost two jveekfe ago and
is again ready for use.
Fifteen men are employedj at
the present time in the Valerie
mine and have succeeded in pump
".u"', water from the main shaft be
low the 200 foot level. A j car
load of thU ore is being shipped
daily. £
Ilea are working on two levels
in the Copper King .mine, the
Mainard drift on the surface and
a 90 foot drift in the tunnel. Be
ginning with last Thursday th's
mice began to produce more than,
a car load of ore per day and it is
expected it will do considerably} bet
tar in the near future. The oil
plant is in good working order and
will bfl connected with, a large com
oressor. {.
The Grafter crejv; is again work
ing and is mining much, rich ore

High lip on the s.opes of Aionnt Mart

the last remnants of an uucieut and
most mysterious race, the Negritos, or
"little uegroes." Scientists differ hope
lessly as to their i ri rlti and history. but
the traveler v.-'.to Is fortunate enough to
penetrate into their carefully hidden
villages tinds the quaint little people
extremely interesting.

pressed into service, and these go lop

Sometimes a beater will emerge from
the brush currying a pig he has encoun

still, bringing news of the sighting of a

called in and its energies directed to

By slow but sure steps the war]
chanced its character in the mindi of
the remotest neutral from a war of
the eld European type, from a war
based upon rival ambitions of con
tending states, to a struggle be
tween two ideas and two ideals,
the ideal of the >vorld (Outside of
Oermany, which yas based upon the
conceptions and teachings of a
thousand years of progress toward
humanity, justice and equality, to
ward jthe mutual recognition of in
dividual rights, and the German id-es)
that there was a special right vest
ed in the German to ignore all dic
tates of^law and humanity when he,
collectively and in the form of
h's siste.|desired something.

jarring and jolting of the wagon I
ride is what weakened my kidneys
and cauued backache. I could
hardly get on or off the. wagon be
cause of sharp paing in the small

were too frequent In passage, caus
