 but at the same time they have proven
 one of the most powerful agencies in marine warfare ever employed by man and the lessens their activities have taught will continue to live long after
 the memories of the present conflict
 have been forgotten. Through the years
 to come the submarine vessels will con- tinue to be a most important factor in naval warfare and the naval develop ments of the future will be shaped by the lessons of the so called submarine those mysteriously moving craft that the very structure of future warships will be shaped to meet the possibilities possessed by them and with the de- velopment of their capacities will come an added need for the naval designer of the future to plan his larger war ships so that they will be able to meet and offset their activities. Thus, in q great sense, the submarine will con- tinue to be one of the most important factors in sea fighting, perhaps for cen turies. AS method of maintaining an active blockade where the area to be covered is not excessively great they are probably the most effective agent ever developed. Working smoothly and silently and almost unseen they will at all times be menace to larger war craft and one that cannot but be feared because of the peculiar nature of their functions.

NOME, ALASKA, NOV. 2, 1915.

Judging from the announcements form Washington, relative to the sink ing of the liner Hesperion. the Germans are, to use the common phrase. lin bad' again through their insistence that the liner was not destroyed by submarine torpedo. It turns out that the government has secured fragments of the war engine which sent the big passenger ship to the bottom and pro- nounces them unquestionably portions of submarine torpedo and belong not to mine or other destructive agency of that nature. Germany has all along claimed that she had nothing to do with the destruction of the vessel and has been most insistent that such destruction was the work of a mine and not of her submarines. Of course, in the absence of proofs as to who fired the torpedo, the fragments of which were found in the stricken vessel, we must listen to the German contention as to her non- culpability but at the same time we cannot help but feel that some one is putting something over" on us when it is proven that the agency which de- stroyed the vessel was the very thing that Germany has taken great pains to point out that it could not be. It looks nightly like some one has been doing little falsifying some where. Germany cannot in justice be held re- sponsible on the showing of our naval experts. for the government may be perfectly sincere in it's protestations of not knowing anything about the fatal ity or the reason therefor but at the same time it is clear that the Hesperion was torpedoed and some one must have done it. The question is, who?

THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA.


 We wish for no victories but those of peace; for no territory except our own; for no sovereignty except the sovereignty over ourselves. We deem the independence and equal rights of the smallest and weakest member of the family of nations entitled to as much respect as those of the greatest empire. and We deem the observance 'of that respect the chief guaranty of tne weak against the oppression of the strong. We neither claim nor desire any rights or privileges or powers that we do not freely concede to every American republic. We wish to in- crease our prosperity, to extend our trade, to grow in wealth, in wisdom, and in spirit, but our conception of the true way to accomplish this is not to pull down others and profit by their ruin, but to help all friends to d com- mon prosperity ana common growth, that We may all become greater and stronger together"

BUDDHA'S TEACHINGS.
Gospel of Buddha.)


 The Enlightened One" saw the four noble truths which point out the path that leads to Niryana. or the extinction of self:
 "The first noble truth is the exist ence of sorrow. Birth is sorrowful illness is sorrowful and death is sor- rowful. Sad it is to be joined with that which we do not like. Sadder still Is the separation from which we love, and painful is the craving for that which cannot be obtained The second noble truth is the cause of suffering. The cause of suffering is lust The sur rounding world affects sensation and begets a craving thirst. which clamors for immediate satisfaction. The illu- sion of self originates and manifests itself in cleaving to things. The de- sire to live for the enjoyment of self entangles us in the net of sorrow. Pleasures are the gait, and the results pain. The third noble truth is the cessation of sorrow. He who conquers self will be free from lust. He who no longer craves, and the flame of de- sire finds no material to feed upon. Thus it will be extingushed. The fourth noble truth is the eightfold path that leads to the cessation of sorrow, There is salvation for him whose self disappears before truth, whose will is bent upon what he ought to do, whose sole desire is the performance of his duty. He who is wise will enter this path and make an end of sorrow" ls
 The eightfold path is CD right com prehension, CD right resolution, (3) right speech, (D right acts, (5) right way of earning a livelihood, (sl righ, efforts, CD right thoughts, (S) right state of peaceful mind This is the truth. This is religion

In the rapidly shifting panorama of events composing the great war drama of Europe one is apt to lose sight of the fact that what appeared to be about to become one of the most important factors in determining the final issue,
 the submarine war, has been com
 pletely cast into the background and is at present all but forgotten. Yet at the commencement it appeared probably the foremost menace that Britain had
 to lace in maintaining her supremacy of the seas. Britain herself accepted it as a joke, "a paper blockade" but such acceptance was but natural as 1t has been the British attitude In a greater of lessor degree toward practically every phase of the war until recently when the true nature of the peril the nation was facing suddenly dawned upon its people Yet, in spite of the British attitude, 1t was ultimately proven to he a very serious joke If measured In the terms of sacrificed lives and destroyed property and Bri- tain paid a heavy price for her levity time she has apparently succeeded in driving the German hornets from the sea and can probably afford to laugh at the discontinue of her enemies but at the same time her glee must be of rueful character for Germany is undeniably very much ahead of the game in the things that count. Ger many has lost, according to the British
