In its moral aspects the war would have been lost, despite the defeat of enemy arms. Conceivably the victorious nations would be internally torn by strife and revolution. Certainly there would be wars, for wars have been the old order’s only means of composing its differences. They would increase pro- gressively in destruction and in the deterioration of international morality until they dragged the world into an era of dismal retrogression, from which the progress of the past would become irretrievable.

Juneau has come a long way since the rude be- ginnings in the 1880s. Today Alaska's capital city is comsidered the best place in Alaska to live, a city which in spite of difficulties brought about by war cenditions still maintains some form of most of the advantages it offered before the war.
