THE RED CROSS SHIP.
The ship which the American Red
Cross is to send to Europe with 150
surgeons and nurses and vast stores
of hospital supplies will "play no
favorites” in its merciful mission. Its
object is to mitigate the horrors of
war in every one of the bleeding na
tions. If any contributor to the fund
wishes his contribution devoted sole
ly to the relief of the stricken of one
particular nation, he has only to name
his preference and the money will
be expended accordingly; that is one
of the basic principles on which the
Red Cross makes its appeal. Many
of the foreign born have been ex
pressing their regret that they could
not get to the fatherland and do their
part. Here is a chance for them
to do something for the country of
their birth, something more effective
than a single arm could accomplish
if its possessor could get to the field
of battle.
’ It is a singular thing, considering
thd widespread interest in the war,
that there has not been a rush to
contribute to this fund. Americans
have proved time and time again their
generosity and readiness to help and
relieve the victims of any great dis
aster. They contributed to the Red
Cross $600,000 for the relief of the
sufferers by the fire at Salem. Yet
in the presence of this staggering
calamity the Red Cross contributions
thus far received amount to less than
$30,000. It is certainly not due to
any lack of feeling; it must be that
the imagination has not been suffi
ciently quickened to appreciate the
horror and the need. Surely any one
who can must feel the desire to do
something to help.—Ex.
Sunday and Monday were busy days
for the gas boats on Valdez bay car
rying hunting, fishing and berry pick
ing parties to favorite spots on both
sides of the bay. The fish were not
biting but many of the hunters re
port bagging a number of ducks. The
berry pickers were rewarded by se
curing large quantities of blueberries.

BUTTE ASKS COURT
IMPEACH OFFICIALS
Business Men Assert That Mayor and
Sheriff Have Failed To Main
tain Order
BUTTE, Sept. 8—The businessmen
of Butte have filed a petition with
Che federal court asking that a
grand jury be drawn to probe the
officials of the city and county. The
petition also asks that Mayor Dun
can and Sheriff Driscoll be impeach
ed for failure to suppress lawlessness
by the miners who seceded from the
Western Federation and started the
Butte Mine Workers union.
The association of business men
behind the action assert they have
proof that both the mayor and sher
iff were active in their support of
the new labor organization. The
charge is made that Mayor Duncan
refused to employ special police to
protect the property of the Western
Federation of Miners and that its
headquarters were wrecked with dy
namite. Although no attempt at con
cealing their identity was made by
the dynamiters none of them have
been apprehended by the authorities.
The business men of Butte see no
prospect of an early adjustment of
the differences between the unions
and fear that the conflict will last
for years. Many mine owners who
have contracts with the Western Fed
eration have refused to discharge the
members of that organization. They
have offered to employ members of
both unions but that plan has been
rejected by the Butte. Mine Workers,
who declare that the Western Federa
tion must quit the district.

TRIP TO SWEDEN '
WAS GUT SRORT
Valdez Citizens Have Trouble In Eu
ropean Countries To Keep From
Being Drafted.
Axel Nasman has returned from a
trip to his old home in Sweden and
tells of an interesting adventure
which caused him to hasten back to
the land of his adoption. He was in
Sweden when the order was given for
mobilization of the Swedish army.
Every man between the ages of 22
and 42 years were called to serve.
Mr. Nasman did not feel like being
detained in Sweden to become a
part of its fighting force and hastily
packing a trip he made the trip
across Sweden and Norway to Ber
gen, where he secured passage on
a Norwegian steamer for New York.
He reports that the steamer sailed
far north on her voyage, while near
the British Isles, fearing to encoun
ter mines.
Nasman reports that Nels Ulander,
well known in Valdez, where he liv
ed for years, has been drafted into
the Swedish army. He is an Amer
ican citizen but while in the old
country married a Swedish girl of his
boyhood days and his marriage made
him subject to being drafted into
the army. It is believed that Ulan
der had been released from duty, as
it is only necessary |to make his
identity known to the American con
sul to secure his discharge.
