NO PROMISE OF PEACE.
The fighting in Europe it not relaxed; rather it indicates
that the animosities of a year ago have crystalized into settled
hates; hut there are indications that the resources of the several
nations are being strained to the limit. hen two such powers
as Great Britain and France seek a loan of a billion dollars from
outside, that is a confession that their own resources are so
drained that their governments do not want to ask their own
people for another great sacrifice. Russia, like a bear, is fight
ing in silence save now and then a growl that she has no idea of
crying for quarter, but rather that this business is to go on un
til it can be settled her way. Not much conies to indicate con
ditions in Germany and Austro Hungary, but it is clear that
they both are consuming themselves, as they have no outside
trade and the stress in many directions must be growing more
severe. At this writing the Teutons seem to be trying merely
to hold their positions on the northwest and south fronts, but
are lighting Russia on the north and east fronts and are maneu
vering to force a way to the relief of Turkey on the southeast.
Evidently to prevent this a mighty drive seems to be on by the
French and' British along the northwest front.
If tins is true, it cannot accomplish mucn except to possum
recall the contemplated drive down the Danube, for fortress
after fortres guards all the way from Alsace- Lorraine to
Berlin. Germany lias gained no ground to the northwest since
the first month of the war, and the French and English if they
attempt a drive into German territory will find the same ob
stacles in their path that German found in Belgium when she
hoped, by a swift and fearful advance to, in a few days, be
thundering at the gates of Paris, and' to control the cities and
ports on the Straits of Dover. There is already snow in Alsec
and Lorraine, and on the mountains where the Austrians and
Italians are fighting. The winter is close upon the contending
armies, and when all those powers contemplate how little has
already been gained at the cost of millions of brave lives and
the bankruptcy of states, one would think they would all be
willing to call it a draw battle and quit.
But such is not the case. Russia does not fear a winter
campaign. She thinks of that winter when the “Grand
Army” was destroyed by her agents—the icy winds, the frosts
and the snow—and, even above her mountains of dead, smiles
defiantly.
England knows that her rule will never more be safe in
India or Egypt if the Moslem power is not broken, while since
the days of Catherine, Russia’s dream has been of an open
way from the Euxine to the Mediterranen.
France and Italy understand that they must win or become
subject powers to Germany. While Germany and' Austro
Hungary say: “Look, combined Europe has been hurling its
hosts against us for fourteen months and they have not tainted
one foot of German territory.”
Thus the tempest of war rages and the world looks on,
amazed and horrified.
The air is darkend by more and more airships, the sea is
vexed by more and more submarines; the earth is heavy under
its weight of dead.
And there is no promise of an early peace.
-:o:
The mountains are today covered with snow, a gentle re
minder that winter is fast approaching.
Next Monday, October 18, will he Alaska Day, but so far
as we know no arrangements have been made to celebrate the
holiday.
Copper ore is accumulating in Cordova so rapidly that
more steamers are needed on the run to transport it to the
Tacoma smelter.
Cable communication has again been established with the
states, and until another break occurs in the line, which has ap
parently outlivede its usefulness, our press reports should be
received regularly, which has not been the case for the past two
or three weeks.
Manager Gillis, of the navy wireless station, is to be con
gratulated for the prompt manner in which he had repairs made
to the plant, after the serious explosion there which injured
several men and cause so much damage. Tt was just twenty
four hours after the plant was wrecked that the radio plant was
again in working order.
Prof. Frank G. Kane, of the Department of Journalism,
University of Washington, has appointed Edward L. Har
wood, as University correspondent of the Cordova Daily Times,
and his first news letter appears in today’s paper. Mr. Har
wood will also furnish us with an occasional budget of items
from Seattle, as to the doings of Cordovans in the Spirit City.
November 5 is the date set for the close of navigation at
Anchorage for the winter, and let hope that the residents of
the new railroad terminal, with its closed port, have an ample
supplies of the necessaries of life on hand to bridge them
through until next spring, when the beach will be lined with
people to welcome the arrival of the first steamer.
