THE GERMAN GAME.
Evidence continues to accumulate
that the German government is creat
ing anarchy throughout Europe so
that it may frighten the peace confer
ence into favorable terms. As never
before in the world’s history war by
intimidation is being waged. When
the military conflict was in progress
Germany used the terrorists to stir up
revolutions in enemy countries and
they readily lent themselves to the
cause of Teutonic imperialism. Even
in the United States the I. W. W.
fought for the kaiser and kaiserism.
Having been defeated in the open
field Germany has fallen back on
secret porpaganda. Her agents have
gone abroad into Hungary, Austria,
Bavaria, Spain and other countries to
foment revolutionists and set us Bol
shevistic misrule. At Barceionia
twenty-eight Germans were arrested
after it had been established definite
ly that they were responsible for the
revolutionary strike.
Is it possible that those who rule
in Germany are ready to turn the
country over to the Reds if the peace
terms are unsatisfactory? Professor
Delbrueck says so and declares that
the Rhine will be the western border
of Russia.
The classes still ruling in Germany
^p.re the war profiteers, the Junkers
■and, indirectly, the-militarist. They
will not surrender the nation to Bol
shevism unless they are convinced
that it is futile to continue the fight
for their wealth.
Germany is surrounding herself
with a fiery ring of Bolshevistic
states. Her agents have set the Bol
shevistic fires burning in Hungary
and in Bavaria, which practically is
detached from the German state.
They tried to give the Bolsheviki con
trol of German Austria, but failed be
cause the people there knew that they
would starve if the allies refused to
feed them.
i. iionie uermuny crusnea coisne
vism so that she might say to the al
lies: “Give us peace terms that will
permit us to retain our wealth and
that will cause us no great economic
hardship. If you refuse all Europe
east of the Rhine will go to Bolshe
vism. Then collect if you can.”
The threat means ihat all of Europe
east of the Rhine will go into volun
tary bankruptcy. By active resistance
if possible, by passive resistance if
they can do no better, the Germans
will seek to prevent the allies from
collecting their just debts. Mean
time the Germans will hope that Bol
shevism may rend Belgium, France,
Spain and other countries of western
Europe to pieces and thus bring down
the whole European structure of civ
ilization into one general ruin.
It is a threat that makes a new
European war imminent.
If President Wilson had not insisted
upon interweaving his league of na
tions with the peace pact this second
war which looms like a world-envelop
ing cyclone in central Europe would
not have gained headway. We can
imagine either of two situations as
having prevailed.
Either the Germans, two or three
months ago, would have accepted the
terms of rejected them. If they had
accepted Bolshevism would not have
had a chance to acquire momentum.
If they had refused Foch would have
marched to Berlin and thence to Po
land and Bolshevism would have been
without power to resist effectively.
What is the situation now? Wil
son’s acre covenant has drawn out the
peace parleys so long that Bolshevism
has already begun what may amount
to another world war. In that war we
may be involved by the very nature
of the covenant.
How long will this war last? Who
shall say that it will not endure in
varying phases for a generation?
As the terrifying panorama unfolds
in Europe the dimmest political vision
can see why we should not Involve
ourselves. The war is to be between
the Haves and the Have-nots. In Rus
sia, Hungary and the Teutonic coun
tries the Haves and Have-nots have
already tried conclusions and the
Have-nots seems to be in the as
cendant.
It is not merely a case between
individual Haves and Have-nots but
between nations that “Have" and na
tions that “Have Not.” The bankrupt
nations, backed by their bankrupt
peoples, are looking with avaricious
frenzy upon the nations which still
possess sufficient assets for liquida
tion.
“The Microbe of Bolshevism at
tacks defeated nations, but not victor
ious ones,” said President Poincare of
France recently.
Let us assume that he is right and
that France and Italy are safe from
immediate revolution. What of the
future? The microbes of Bolshevism
are just beyond the Rhine. They may
be defeated today, but they will wax
fat on the corpse of central Europe
and multiply by millions. Apparently
the only way to crush them is by war
fare, by fighting that may continue
for many years. Are we to plunge
into this maelstrom with the frail life
belt of the league of nations as our
only protection? Or, to change the
metaphor, can we hope by pouring the
oil of the league on the ocean of
European anarchy to still the waves
to perfect peace?—Ex.

General Richardson says everything
is all right with the little American
army in Northern Russia, and Alas

It may be possible that if the new
bill that is up before the Alaska leg
islature for the establishment of nor
mal schools in conjunction with
Alaskan high school passes, the ter
ritory will be able to produce its own
school marms and not have to depend
entirely on the imported article.—

The future for Valdez never looked
more bright, more full of promise,
than it does at the present time. After
many bubbles have been burst and
some wildcat enterprises exploded
there yet remains much that is sub
stantial and well worth further devel
opment. There still remains mineral
resources with merit and values un
exhausted, unknown, unappreciated
and possibly with merit beyond what
is claimed for them in the Teikhell
district, in the Port Wells district and
in the district immediately adjacent
to Valdez. These resources must be
developed if Valdez is again to be
placed on the map.—Juneau Empire.

NOTICE.
It is imperative that all rubbish in
