ARE YOU A SLACKER?
You have a duty to perform here of importance equal
to the army soon to fight over seas.
There is now in course of formation in Seward a mili
tary unit to which every American in good health from
the age of 20 to 25 years should belong.
Its ranks are open to all able to drill.
Many men have taken advantage of the opportunity
to become proficient who are not physically fit for the
army, but who desire to make themselves as valuable to
their country as possible and who realize the opportunity,
liut others, young and fit, do not attend.
Are you blind that you cannot see the “handwriting
on the wall?”
Men at the head of the nation, who know what must be
done to safeguard the future of this, the most glorious ag
gregation of people under the canopy of heaven, know
that the only possible chance America has to survive the
ordeal now putting the world powers to test is military
preparedness—compulsory military training that every
able bodied man may have knowledge necessary to protect
himself and his home in event of the supreme call. This
conscription for service may not be applied to Alaska
owing to the need of men for the development of its much
needed economic resources, but that is no excuse for fail
ure of Alaskans to, where possible, become proficient in
military training.
There are enough young men for a full company in
and about Seward, who would drill every night in the week
if they were convinced that they might be called upon dur
ing August to aid in withstanding an attack, or an attempt
to invade Alaska.
But right now the war seems far distant.
Germany seems to be in extremis, with no chance of
sending an army against us.
True, but so are some of our allies in extremis. With
out aid they would be one with Beige and Serb.
No one can foresee the end, even if Germany be con
quered as soon as the optimists believe—what then?
That “what then” has the statesmen and the generals
of the world by the heels right now, and none can answer.
Mighty republics have l)een born among peoples long
oppressed.
There will be no balance of power.
Safety lies with those who are prepared.
You and 1 can do our part.
Are you?
Be at the A. B. hall tonight when the organization of
Seward’s military unit is completed.
ILL-TIMED APPLAUSE
—————
Indiscreet is the mildest term at hand to describe the
action of the person who applauded during the picture
show last night when a picture of the undersea freighter,
Deutschland, flying the German ensign was thrown upon
the screen. Not that every American does not recognize
the achievement of crossing the Atlantic with a submarine
but in the final analysis the craft is only a floating monu
ment to the policy of ruthlessness and frightfulness cal
culated to make ‘'Deutschland uber alles” a grim reality .
It is an ill-shaped monster maue necessary by the misguid
ed human monsters under whose baleful rule a wonderful
people have been driven into a maelstorm of suffering and
death, taking with them half a world. Such applause is
little short of treason.
SPRING’S CALL
The sun is shining and the streams tinkling over the
pebbles and we want to close up shop and take a long hike
to the top of the high hills and view the world beyond.
ALASKA IN THE PUBLIC EYE
If Alaska does not come to its own and become known
otherwise than the ‘‘Frozen North,” it shall not be due to
lack of advertising, for adv ertising it is having from
the gold producing parts to the clam spots. Its resources]
are being shown all over the country. Seattle’s Alaska
advertising—as in everything else, as usual—leads. That
city maintains permanent exhibits from Alaska and in!
every way possible encourages people from all over the
world to visit the country. And this has been thus from
the time of the great rush to Nome. Later, steamship
transportation companies took it up and gave it a boost.
Still later the transcontinental railway companies joined
forces. Now comes the Canadian Pacific railway company
with an offer to help along that line.
According to Mr. Lowle, general agent for the com
pany, with headquarters at Juneau, that company is solic
iting some of Alaska’s curios, mineral displays and any
thing from Alaska, agreeing to take whatever is offered
to the fair at Toronto, Ottawa and the Western Fair to
be held later in the fall. Here is an opportunity that Alas
kans should not let pass pass.—(Ketchikan Progressive
Miner.)

He—How about love in a palace?
She—Oh, Jack, this is so sudden.
He—Well, it won’t be if we’ve got

A Careful Witness
Not long ago a man was charged
at a country court with trespassing,
and also with shooting some pigeons
which belonged to a farmer.
In giving his evidence the farmer
was exceedingly careful, even nerv
ous, and the lawyer for the defense
endeavored to frighten him.
“Now,” he remarked sternly, “re
member you’re on oath. Are you
prepared to swear this man shot
your pigeons?”
“I didn’t say he did shoot ’em,’’
was the reply. “I said I suspected
him of doing it!”
“Ah! Now you’re coming to it.
What made you suspect the man?”
“Well, I first caught him on my
land with a gun. Secondly, I heard a
gun go off and had seen some pigeons
fall. Thirdly, 1 found four of m>
pigeons in his pocket—and I don’t
think them birds flew into his pocket
and committed suicide for the fun of
the thing.”
