A War Prophecies.

As Emperor Wilhelm obstinately declined to be killed on Sept. 29, one of the strong features of the prophet ess of Paris failed to materialize, and the balance is therefore necessarily weakened. Last January the cele- brated Nine, de Thebes, of Paris, made public predictions that a Euro pean war would break out about mid year, preceded by a sensational trial; that the Pope would die shortly after hostilities began, and that the Ger mans would get near Paris without penetrating into the city. Later she prophesied that the German emperor would be killed on Sept. 29; that the French would enter Germany on Oc- tober 29, and that the war would end Nov. 7. It must be admitted that some of the predictions have come true, but the kaiser has thus far kept out of range.-Ex.

Aims To Wear Down Foe

PARIS, Nov. 20.-Persons attach ed to the French war office estimate that the Germans have in Belgium and France and along the German frontier to Switzerland about 1,750,- 900 men. The French and English have undoubtedly a numerical super iority, with possibly 2,225,000 men on or near the fighting lines. The req son the allies do not turn the Ger mans out of France and Belgium is partly because the power of the de- fense is greater, with modern weap- ons and intrenchments than the pow CT of offense. There is probably no position on the line that either army could not take if it was determined to do so. It is simply question of concentrating sufficient forces on that point and suffering the inevitable losses.
 A position is taken at loss great CT than has been inflicted, and the winners, upon advancing, find them
Valdez daily prospector., 1914-11-20

selves facing another position, which also may be taken. If this opera tion is repeated often enough, the numerical superiority of the attack will become an inferiority as the weeks go on, and the war will be lost. General Joffre and Field Marshal French are careful of the lives of their men. They seek to accomplish large results by letting the Germans attack under unfavorable circumstan- ces, when they will do so. The allied commanders appear to think the Ger mans may be engaged to greater ad- vantage in France and in Belgium than in Germany Their effort is to dispose of the allied troops upon this or that part of the vast front so that important fractions of the invaders may be destroyed or captured.
 For the allies to drive the Germans before them eff that should be pos sible) would be to drive them back on their bases with armies intact. The problem of beating the Germans on this frontier would be more diff cult every mile they were driven back. The conviction exists at the headquarters in the field and the min istry of war that the war is to be a hot vyirfnrJ ic f0 ho won solely by attrition, and that this process of attrition can be applied as we'll in northern France and in Bel gium as on the Rhine. The care of the military organization is therefore not to be extravagant with the un- replacable human material.
 France probably has 100000 men, most of them under arms, who have never been to the front They are the very young men and the re- serves of the older classes, who are being trained to take their places on , " battle lines. France, therefore, can lose 100000 men and yet main- tain her fighting forces at the same strength they are now. The same thing is probably true of Germany, and so military observers here look upon the immense operations which have taken place as only the begin ming of conflict which may not reach it's greatest violence until spring.

ILLEGAL VOTING.

It is apparent from yesterdays pro ceedings in the district court that the grand jury is making some inquiry concerning alleged illegal voting in the recent election. It is improper for an outsider to urge upon the grand jury any recommendation as to it's action in matter brought before it for investigation, but it is never i'm. proper for a newspaper or an indi- vidual to express publicly or privately the hope that if any wilful violation of law has taken place the grand jury will give it such attention as it deserves.
 Beginning on election day and per sistently ever since charges of illeg- al voting have been made, some of them specific as to names and gen. eral facts. Other charges of unlaw- full acts have been made, along with high tide of wilful and mostly stu pid mendacity.
 The Prospector does not want to be in contempt of court for any ef- fort to influence judicial inquiry, but believes it legitimate to observe that public sentiment everywhere is strongly in favor of publicity in all matters of public interest, and if there was anything unlawful or i'm proper done on election day in the Third division by any person, official or unofficial, the public is entitled to know the exact facts for future refer ence, if for no other reason.

a country which guarantees liberty of conscience, that we cannot look at a pictuAe on Sundays or play a game of pool if we damn well want to, it makes a man think that we are gov, erned either by fools or political knaves.
 Just think of some wire-pulling pol itician back in Washington introduc. ing a bill to close moving picture shows in Alaska on Sundays!
 Just think of that Pharasaical job seeker holding the power of a czar over lot of people whose boots he isn't fit to shine!
 Just think that because we haven't a vote in the real elections that we must be treated like a lot of out. laws-siwashed like a lot of helpless drunks!
 How long are the people of the territory going to stand for it? How long will it be before the matter is brought into the courts and a jury of our citizens asked to give a verdict as to whether they and their fellow citizens are to be free and independ- ent or to be subject to the whims of a lot of petty politicians and off cials who have been taken up so much with their own crawling for power that they have never given themselves time to study what the word liberty means?-Seward Gate way.

SUNDAY CLOSING.

The more one. thinks of that so- called Sunday c1 sing law and the more one thinks of how it is admins tered in this territory the more does he feel like using strong language. In Cordova, Valdez, Juneau and oth- CT cities in Alaska the moving picture shows keep open on Sundays just the same as ever and Seward would prob ably have the same privilege today were it not for the unfortunate visi- tation of district attorney who came to this city as an Eastern mogul might travel into the wilds of some pagan country and inflict punishment on his slavish subjects.
 Alaska should assert it's rights in this and other matters if it's rights are not recognized by its would-be mighty masters. Let us suppose that any place of amusement or pastime defied the authorities and remained open in spite of the ukase of some travelling job holders. Let us SUD- pose that any of those people were arrested for their defiance. What would the result be? Does anyone think for moment that jury of Alaskans would bring in verdict of guilty?
 The Gateway is not by any means suggesting that anyone should break just laws, but it will say that many unjust and oppressive laws have been removed from the statute books on- ly when the people arose and assert ed their power as sovereign people.
 There is nothing more galling to any man of the least independence or spirit than the knowledge that his liberties can be curtailed by any other man or body of men and par ticularly by any man or body of men who should be the peoples servants and not their masters.
 When any man or body of men ap- propriate to themselves the power of interfering with the absolute freedom of an American citizen he places those citizens in the position of slaves under the heel of an autocracy worse and more galling than the slav' cry under pagan monarchy because the American citizen has been raised in the atmosphere of freedom and has been taught to claim freedom as his own.
 The matter of closing shows or any thing else in Alaska might appear tC be trivial in itself but it is an en croachment on our liberties which we should be the last to tolerate It is a thought of really sickenine intensity that petty official has the power to tell us how we are to spend Sundays or how we are not. If any clergyman of any church dared tc tell us that we were to spend the Sabbath in a manner dictated by him we should mighty quickly tell him to mind his own business, but when body of Pecksniffian laymen, o1 one Pecksnihian layman. tells us. in
