GEORGE CALLIGAN WRITES
TO VALDEZ FRIENDS
George Calllgan, the Valdez miner
and well known old-timer, writes to
the Prospector that he is in Tacoma,
but will be homo about June 1. He
says: "Tacoma has lovely weather.
Since I arrived here the 17th of Jan
uary, thoro has been no rain, the
lawns are as green and look as fresh
as spring. Occasionally I notice a
rosebud, and many front yards have
cores blooming in them, i am visiting
by nephew and wife, F. R. Calllgan,
and am having (he time of my life.
Tacoma is having quite a boom, (he
'■fleets of activity in war and ship
building. They are to have a new
Heel plant hero soon. Camp Lewis is
so near that the soldier boys keep
Iho streets filled and one can hardly
walk on the sidewalks they are so
packed with men in uniform. This is
particularly true of Wednesday and
Saturday afternoons, as these are the
days the soldiers are given town leave
at the camp. They are constantly buy
ing small articles so the merchants
and shows are working full blast. I
notice groceries and Iivlog are as high
here as in Valdez. The same price for
butter and eggs, as well as other
things, while the restaurants are
much higher than in Valdez. There
are no houses for rent. Tacomans are
Hooverizing on everything but prices.
I shall not return until about June 1.
SEND IN BINOCULARS
In yesterday’s mall a letter was re
ceived from the government again
calling for spy glasses, binoculars,
telescopes, sextants, and chronomet
ers. The need is imperative for these
instruments as it is impossible to
make the lenses in this country, and
the navy and scout ships are short of
these ‘eyes for the navy.” The gov
ernment gives each man sending these
glasses one dollar for the use of them.
They are carefully tagged with a met
al disk and returned to you If desir
ed at the end of the war. Your glasses
may be the means of saving an Am
erican battleship of a transport. Lt.
Faust will receive these glasses at the
signal corps office.
8TICK TO YOUR JOB
The government has notified all
workingmen who desire to leave Al
aska to go outside to take work in the
shipbuilding plants to stick to their
jobs, until they hear that their offer
to work has been accepted. Send in
your application for work to the
chairman of the four-minute men of
your town, who will forward your
name to the government. If you are
accepted you will be notified. The gov
ernment assumes no responsibility in
contracts.

An open letter to the clergy of the
nations ailed against Germany.
Great Bend. Kansas.
Jan. II, 1918
To the clergy of the United States and
countries allied with her against
the central powers:
Gentlemen: T write to you to call
.attention to the form of treason you
are engaged in and hope you wi>l dir
'oitiuue it when the treasonable ra
turo of your occupation dawns upon
you. The f alser says (Jed is on lii '
side, aiding to win his I'attlcs, and
I rocfaiuis it. to his soldiers, people,
Germany's allies and ttie world, and
(lint God will give them the final vic
tory, and that he is the divinely ap
pointed agent to conquer and rule
the world. Ab Cod does not deny any
of these claims of the kaiser, and as 1
all have been taught that God is all
powerful, it gives confidence, courage
and the will to the Germans and their
allies to make any sacrifice in lives
and property necessary to win the war
the same as though God was a renl
being and the kaiser’s claims were
true.
As it is adjudged treason by the
United States and her allies for any
of their people to praise and be on
friendly, intimate and business terms
with the kaiser, it must also be treas
onable to be on such terms with God,
his most powerful ally.
The fact that it has been discov
ered that the universe contains no
real God does not relieve you of the
treasonable nature of your profession
since all the world is still ignorant
of that discovery, and consequently,
is greatly influenced by the kaiser’s
alleged will of God.
It would be considered treason and
you would be prohibited by law and
punished were you to proclaim the
power, wisdom and goodness of the
kaiser and pray him to end the war,
and It is a greater degree of treason
and you should be prohibited and
punished by law when you thus flat
ter and petition God, who is the kais
er's principal aid.
With the above facts called to your
attention, if you do not voluntarily
cease your service to this alien ene
my, I hereby on behalf of the women
and children, made widows and or
phans by this war, and in the name
of the Church of Humanity, petition
President Wilson to Issue an execut
ive order declaring the worship of
God to be treason to the United States
and punishable accordingly, and I al
so petition the United States congress
to pass a law to prohibit forever, un
der heavy fine and imprisonment, the
worship of God in the United States
and its territories.
To be consistent the allies should
no longer tolerate the worship of a
czar and kaiser, named God, while
sacrificing so much to rid the world
