NOME, ALASKA, NOV. 20, 1915.

The statement of Bonar Law that England is fast approaching bank ruptcy is doubtless rather a rude jar to the popular conceptions concerning the supposedly vast riches and inexhaus- tible resources of that mightiest of all earthly nations. For many years 1t has been popularly held that Britain was possessed of a wealth so great that there was little probability of any sit uation arising whereby her financial standing could be imperiled. It was generally believed that whatever might happen Britain would still stand, like some colossus, firmly planted behind her mighty financial bulwarks. serene and imperturable, veritable financial Hercules whom nothing could disturb.
 However, it has remained for one short year of war to disclose the fal- months agone, to voice the opinion that war of little more than one years duration would shake this financial giant would have raised smile of derision even among the best informed. Yet, today. that very thing is happen ing and this supposedly indestructible financial power is swiftly approaching the day when she will be driven to eX- tremes to meet her obligations.
 The odol of brass has, after all. feet of clay. It is not suggested that Eng
 land is nearing the end of her financial resources for this is far from being the case. She can undoubtedly still raise a fabulous sum by pledging her multitudinous possessions but this is neither expedient or desirable save as last resort England is thus far from being ''broke," in the popular sense. She has, however, reached a stage when the process of borrowing money
 must be discontinued for the reason that the national indebtedness is reaching such mammoth proportions that the national revenues will not suffice to support the government and pay the enormous interest on her rap
 idly growing debt which has already attained monumental proportions. In other words she is approaching the day when she will not be able to pay her debts without making sacrifices which cannot be viewed save with alarm. This situation is not the result of the pres ent war although war is the primary cause of the piling up of an indebted ness so great that financial insolvency is threatened. It is rather the result of series of wars beginning as far back as 1889, at which time the debt originated in its present form At the time of its inception, according to a recent number of the London Econo- mist, 1t was intended that the debt created by the war against Louis XIV ahould become a permanent one with the idea of casting the burden of the war on posterity. for whom, as much as for the living, the war was assumed to have been fought. The procedure was the subject of much criticism at the time, the chroniciers of that day characterizing it as Dutch finance but, that England had saddled herself ,gith most costly burden was not discovered until later, in 1916, to be exact, at which time the debt ha
 grown, through the additions caused sum of eight hundred and eighty five million pounds. By this time the real meaning of the debt had begun to ap-

Ihe Rev. Dr. NJ, G. B. Mason,
tor - years one of the secretaries
Of the Freedmen's Aid Society of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
was hastily sent from Chicago BY
Doctor Dan Williams to enter
Johns Hopkins Hospital, to I'm
dergo all operation under the d.
rection Of pr. Young, the well
known specialist in Urology.
pr. Mason is one of the best
known men, without regard to
race or color, in the country.
F1e has been before audiences Of
white and colored people in every
state in the Union-in churches
and chataquas. Aside from this
tact, he brought with him from
DT. Williams, another leading
specialist in the country, letters Of
recommendation, giving DR.. Ma
sons standing. Notwithstanding
all this, no private room could be
obtained, at any cost, in the hos
pital for this distinguished man,
where he could get the treatment
and consideration in keeping with
his rank and ability to pay for
this privilege.
DR.. Mason is not a charity pa
tient. He pays $40 per week, and
the operation was to cost him
$3.50.
Why is this treatment? There
is something radically wrong i'll
the white peoples religion.
In no other country does such
a condition exists. And yet this is
the country which undertakes to
teach religion and Christianity to
peoples and nations, far above
them in the practice Of those
principles which underlie oar
common humanity.

Monday, at the advanced age of SO.

diers, and since the war she has been
most active in charitable concerns.

The funeral of the late MIR.
John Wesley Watkins took place
from Bethel Church on last Sun
day, of which congregation he had
been a faithful officer for many
years. He was also very dis
tinguished Mason, and was buried
with all the honors due to his sta
ton. The late Mr., Watkins had
been member of Friendship
Lodge No. l, of Masons, for more
than half century. He was one
of the old-time characters whose
moral ethics honor the race of
which he was a member. Peace
