City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, OCTOBER I, 1915

The belief that the western allies have at length aroused themselves to the utter futility of attempting to whip Germany by resting on their arms seems confirmed by the reports that they are still surging ahead with the same impetuosity displayed in the lat ter days of the previous week. Wheth- CT this is mere flash in the pan" or not cannot be told az yet but from the present display of dogged tenacity and purpose one would judge that they are at last seriously attempting to bring the great struggle to the final issue. Throughout the preceding pe- riods of the war after the first great rush which forced the invaders back from Paris the Anglo French armies have seemed well content to remain al- most entirely on the defensive save when the persistent activities of the Germans forced them to adopt of- fenslve measures as the only means of protection against the Ieutonlc On- slaughts. This inactivity has con- tinued for more than a year and has doubtless proven exceedingly costly as well as entirely intellectual in over coming the foe. It is probably true that the allies have been greatly handicapped by a lack of sufficient implements of war to meet their DOW erful and thoroughly prepared adver- saries on an equal footing, but the fact that until recently they made no de- eided effort to overcome this difficulty seems to indicate that they were either not fully aware of their weakness in this respect or else believed that time and certain economic conditions would
 enable them to triumph without an
 exhorbitant sacrifice of men. Tn either
 case time has proven the fallacy of
 expecting to overcome a foe as well
 sustained as the Teutons. who have
 made war preparation the primary
 business of their national life, by sim ply sitting still and waiting for some ing to happen. Germany has refused

 parently as we'll provided as in the

MT. M'K|NLEY WAS FIRST SEEN IN
 THE YEAR 1794

The giant of the Alaska range beheld by Stelier in TAI was Mount St. Elias, and 151 years were to pass before the Italian Duke of Abruzzi planted his foot upon the summit after Americans and Englishmen had vainly tried to attain it.
 Mount Mckinley was first reported in May. l794, by George Vancouver, the British navigator who at the time was surveying the head of Cook Inlet. He described Mckinley and it's neigh bor Foraker, as distant stupendous mountains covered with snow and ap- parently detached from each other" The Russians called the greatest mountain in their Alaskan doman "Bulshaia Cora" which means simply Great Mountain" and to the native tribes 1t was known at Denali, Dole vka and Traleykr.
 Princeton graduate, w. A. Dickey. prospector and miner, who explored the Susitna river In 1S6. was responsi- hle for naming the great mountain Mckinley and to the neighbor peak Capt. J. S Heron, T. s. A. gave the name of Foraker three years later.
 The first man who tried to scale Mc- Kinley was the Hon. James Wicker sham, judge of the District of Alaska and now territorial delegate to con- gress. He was somewhat of a moun- tain climber. having "done" Mount Rainier but he got no higher on the flank of the Alaskan Alp than 10000 feet More than one desperate siege was to be made of Mckinley before the 'mushers" Thomas Lloyd and Pete Anderson gained the slightly lower south summit and Dr Stuck finally won the supreme height Prof Her scheli Parker, of Columbia, and Bel more Brown on their third attempt fell short by few hundred feet.

The poet Byron came along; he didn't talk of Art or Song. but bragged, until the light grew dim, of distances he used to swim. And Scott bored everyone to sleep by talking cattle, swine and sheep. Their thoughts were anchored to the past, to trifiing things that did not last. Their harps were hung on rusty nails, while they sat telling ancient tales.

SURROUNDING AN ARMY.

Those not familiar with military tactics have q very vague idea as To how an army Is surrounded. It is gen orally believed that a commander who schemes to encircle the enemy with an impenetrable ring of guns and men must conceive some method of man. covering his troops round to the rear of his opponents army. It Is possible however, for general well versed in field tactics to cleverly roll up" large body of troops by frontal attack alone. This is accomplished by means of flanking movements.
 For purposes of example let us imagine two armies facing one another drawn up in two long lines. Behind one of the battle lines body of re- serve troops stealthily make their way over to the right. Their purpose is to make a sudden onslaught on one end of the enemys line. At exactly the right moment, when the artillery fire is at it's fiercest the reserve troops violently attack the forces situated at the extreme left of the enemy's front. The attacking force, owing to its over whelming numbers. bends back the end of the assailed army. 'It refuses it's right" as military men say.
 At the opposite end of the line a similar attack is launched, which has the effect of forcing back the enemy's right. An army which refuses" al- most at the same time it's left" and right" wings is doomed. Unless a very speedy retreat is carried out the whole force Is rolled up" as both It's Hanks are forced back.
 As the right and left Hanks of the enemy give ground the attacking troops slowly force their way to the rear of the assailed army, closing In the while. The result Is that within a few hours the defeated force Is en- tl.ely surrounded, although in the first instance 1t was attacked from its front Weekly.

The announcement that a new river has been discovered south of the Panama river by MT. H. M Eakin of the geological survey brings again to mind that We are really living on the frontier in a new and little known country The improvements of mod ern life and the close association with the things of more effete centers has benumbed us to the fact that We are really living in the very outposts of civilization and that just beyond our
 immediate environs is veritable tielra ,ncognito: wilderness that Is alra,st unemployed. This "River of Doaht" as some one has suggested the discovery of Mir. Eakin be named, lies in a section that closely borders on the long settled centers of the territory and In close proximity to several of the earliest established interior com munlties and vet, in spite of years of prospecting. Ii has remained un- repoted if not undiscovered. The ddZ2le of electric lights and the ready communication afforded by the steam ship. the telephone and the telegraph have caused many of us to forget that we are a long ways out on the edge of tlines and 1t is only when something of his nature develops that we again hcuome aware that We are actually the pioneers of new and as yet un- kurwn land.

Golf on a Battlefield.

Golfers Of the Mexico Country club
at Mexico City who were recently
barred from their games for two weeks
because the Carranza and zapata
forces were using the links for bat
tleground. had an unusual experience
when, on the day after the retreat OF
the soldiers they resumed play.
Notwithstanding that the links had
been torn up by shells. all went we'll
with the game until the drive-off from
the seventh tee had been followed up
to the green. II was then that the
man who had the best lie waved to
his companions excisedly TO hurry on
up. They thought that he had holed
out with his midiron, but found that
his discomposure was caused by the
fact that he could not use his putter.
Between his ball and the cup lay the
body OF a revolutionist, who had been
killed in an exchange OF shots the
day before.
