THE VICTIMS OF THE WAR.

According to all official re- ports from the several firing lines in Europe-and this in a way includ- es all the censored dispatches from press respondents-every man in each of the armies is fighting with enthusiasm, believes devotedly in the "cause" of his country, counts his hardships as nothing, and, when wounded, thinks only of getting back to the trenches. Presumably there are many such men in every army, but there are some others, and now and then something is heard from one of them-something in startling discord with the outgivings of war boards and the matter passed" by the censors.
 Here, for instance, are few lines from a private letter from a young English soldier to trusted friend:
 "All the brave ones and the good ones have answered and are gone Some of them are beyond recall now. The old ones and the physically un- fit are left to be England, Belgium, Germany, France-and Europe to- morrow. Is the acquisition of some ones land worth all of it? I'm only normal soldier; I'm only common subject, and per haps I don't understand, but Pm fac ing my Christian brother with a heavy gun and bayonet, and I meet the same hopeless look in his eye that is in mine, and, all the time, Pm asking, Why? Why?"
 This man is probably mistaken Tn thinking himself normal soldier" if by that term he means that most of the others take the same view of the war that he does, and, coming from an Englishman, the reference to land acquisition is surprising, as that would come more naturally from a discontented German soldier. It is significant, however, that even in the ranks, nowadays, there is apprecia- tion for what may be called the bio- logical effects of war, and its ten dency, especially in the case of vol unteer armies, to take the best for cannon food and to leave behind the dull, the unadventurous, the coward ly, and the selfish to carry on the business of life, including that of keep ing the race going.-Ex.

A WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1915.
WELL! WELL!! WELL!!!

Mistaken kindness always gets folks into trouble. Last Sunday the Miner printed verbatim extracts from the prospectus published in Chicago for the Alaska Utilities Development Company" by o. P. Hubbard. The Miner didn't charge a cent for the advertising, and yet some local guar dians of the public veal are offend ed. Last night half dozen persons who call themselves the Valdez Chamber of Commerce held a meet ing on the state of the country and roasted the Miner. Today Hon. Jos eph c. Dieringer, general public cen sor, affirmed that an effort to sell lots in Swanitzville $150 per or more to people in Chicago is a good thing for Valdez.
 Such being the case why should anybody kick because the Miner printed whole paragraphs from the prospectus? A meritorious project always courts publicity and extensive advertising. If the luminous plans of the Alaska Utilities Development Company" personnel and legal status unknown, seek radiation from 1O5 La Salle street, Chicago, through print ed matter, why not in Valdez?

SALUTED BY A SONG.
Jenny Lind's Graceful Tribute to Our
 National ElaQ,

NatIohaI Flag.
 There is a pretti' story told of the honor Jenny Lind once paid to the American flag. It was when she was in New York, more than sixty years ago. The frigate St. Lawrence had just returned from cruise. and the midshipmen went to hear the Swedish nightingale sing at Castle Garden the ater, and the next day they called on her in body. Their enthusiasm and her graciousness soon brought about visit to the ship and the acceptance of luncheon rendered her. When she was about to leave the ship she looked up at the stars and stripes and said:
 "I wish to salute your flag"
 So, standing on the gangway, she sang 'The Star Spangled Banner" Si- lently from all over the ship men gath cred with uncovered heads until the ships family were all assembled on deck. Nor were they her only audi ence, for borne upon the still air her song had been heard by many other vessels near by. and when the won- drous voice ceased steamers blew their whistles and exultant cheers rose from all sides, filling the harbor with their tribute of applause for the beloved artist and of loyal reverence for the flag she had so beautifully salnted.- Rehoboth Sunday Herald.
