SUPPOSING—
We are so convinced that we are
in the right, and so sure that our
national strength, when it is fully
exerted, will give us the victory,
that we rarely or never consider the
possioility of defeat. I that wise?
The race s not always to the swift,
nor the battle to the strong.
Suppose that the event should
turn out ottier than we wish. Sup
pose the Allied armies are so decis
ively defeated on the western front
that they are forced to surrender
and that the Kaiser dictates a
German peace and enforces it. So
large a contingent of American
troops might be captured that we
should have to accept humiliating
terms and pay an immense indem
nity to buy back their freedom. And
even if Germany should win with
out havng many American hostages
in Its hands, this country, although
still unconquerod, would face a per
manent enemy. We should not suf
fer immediately from any demands
that Germany might make upon us,
because we should not meet those
demands, and Germany could not
enforce them. But we should have
no more than a temporary respite.
A Germany victorious in this war
would be sure to attack us sooner
or later. It long ago marked our
country as its next victim. We can
not guest what the pretext would
De, but Germajiy would find one.
Could we make a successful re
sistance ? Assuredly. .But we should
not delude ourelve as to the thor
oughness of the preparation that we
should have to make. The contest
would be one to determine which na
tion had the greater sea power.
The conditions would favor us. The
enemy would have to send its war
vessels and its transports three
thouand miles to reach our shores.
What German submarines have done
to the seacraft of the Entente
our own submarines could do in
destroying an invading armada.
Nevertheless, a hostile army
might effect a landing. Therefore
we should be called upon not only
to defend our coast cities with heavy
artillery and stout fortifications but
to create, train and keep in a state
of instant readiness an army large
enougn to reduce to a minimum the
chances of invasion and the injury
that would accompany a landing.
Meanwhile, we must not iorsei
that, if the Kaiser held England
and France by the throat, we could
hope for no help from our allies.
When Germany should translate into
deeds its contempt for the Monroe
Doctrine, we could count on no as
sistance from abroad in warding off
blows aimed primarily at our neigh
bors, but quite as much at ourselves
Canada might be invaded and over
run and could offer no resistance;
we could be attacked from any
one of a hundred points on our
northern oorder. Moreover, our
peril from within, from alien en
emies, great as it is now, would
then be multiplied tenfold!.
To what does all that lead? Sim
Ply to this: that, unless we win this
war, our destiny will be to become
a great military and naval country,
compelled by constant danger of
attack to require universal military
service, to submit to oneiv>us tax
ation, and to maintain estab
lishments comparable to those which
we condemn in Prussia. We could
never be free from apprehension of
embroilment with the world enemy,
or exempt from the losses, the hor
rors and the expense of war when
our unrelenting foe should choose
to assail us.
Clarence Berry left on the train
this morning for Whitehorse, where
he will embark on one of the White
Pass boats for Circle City.
Mrs. Barthels was a passenger
an this morning's train, bound for
Brookes, where her son is engaged
In mining.
A mistake was made in the lo
cal on Saturday mentioning George
Palmer. It is Harry Palmer, who
is the son of the pioneer shoemak
er and he will leave on one of the
first boats for the pound country.
Teddy Curran, [mining recorder
for southern Yukon, came over on
the train last Saturday and returned
this morning. Mr. Curran is also
tire warden, and among his
duties is the inspecting of gpark
irresters on the locomotives and
ather safety devices for the jjre
tention of fires. He makes the
trip about once a month durng the
iry summer months. ^ ^
BKAGWAY WUNHN HUUlBTiUKr
FOR BED CR0&8 WORK
Before the end of the week every
woman in town will be given an op
portunity to register for Red Cross
work. The Skagway Branch is
now engaged in many lines of work,
some of which can be done at home.
This gives the very busy women a
chance to sandwich in an hour of
Red Cross work between their house
hold tasks..
The woman who sigha and says
she has no time for Red Cross work,
while her fingers perhaps, are
Plying a crochet hook is> looked up
on askance Dy her friends. Every
woman is not "doing her bit,"—but
"doing her utmost" these days.
Ther© seem to be little excuse for
the woman who thinks Red Cross
work a necessary evil which does |
not touch her life.
The committee finds the women
of Skagway eager to register for
Red Cross work, having had to date
but one refusal.
"A. B." HIKE TOMORROW
There will be a "hike" under the |
auspices of the Skagway Alpine Club
tomorrow, L. H. Pedersen being
guide. The plan Is to go to the
top of A. B. Mountain, the party
leaving the 22nd Street bridge at
7 o'clock. Lunch will be eaten
about 11 o'clock, or sooner, near
the blue-berry patch; and after
a rest ,the climb to V e summit will
follow. The return to town will be
direct. The club will provide with
out cost hot coffee. As usual each
must provide his own lunch and
utensils.
Crying For Help
Lots of It in Ska«way But Dally
Growing Less.
The k'dneys often cry for help.
Not another organ in the whole
body more delicately constructed;
Not one more important to health.
The Sidneys are the filters of the
blood. ,
When they fail the blood becomes
foul and poisonous.
There can be-no health where
there is poisonous blood.
Backache is one of the frequent
indications of kidney trouble.
It is often the kidneys' cry for
help. Heed it.
Head what Doan's Kidney Pills
have done for overworiked kidneys.
Proof of merit in the following
statement:
Mrs. L. M. Woodworth, 903 Al"
vord Stz. The Dalles, Ore., says: "I
had been subject to backache 'and
dlsordred kidneys for five years.
Finally I had such a terrible Bpe'l
of backache that I thought I would
die. Mornings when I got up my
back was so weak and sore I could
hardly get out of bed. I tried dif
ferent medicines with no relief, un
11 I finally us>ed Doan's Kidney Pill?
1'wo boxes stopped the backache and
made me feel as strong as ever."
Price 0c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
set Doan's Kidney Pills—th^ same
that Mrs. Woolworth had. Foster
