ALASKA REGIMENT IS i
RECOMMENDEO TO WAR DEPT
Organization of an Alaska regi
ment. composed of the regular troops
now stationed in this territory .and
recruits taken under the selective con
~ scription law, has been recommended I
to the war department by Col. M. A.
Saville. who recently inspected some}
of the military forces in Alaska, says
a recent issue of the Juneau Daily
[ Empire. The Alaska regiment would
l be stationed at Jhe various military j
posts in the territory. Permission has j
also been requested of the war de-,
partment to enlist men in Alaska for!
the aviation corps and other special
branches of army and naval service.
Col. Saville is quoted by the Em
pire as follows:
“We have recommended, that on ac
count of the distance between Alaska
and the States, that the supporting
hold be increased and that an Alaskan
regiment be formed. This regiment
would include the regular troops now
stationed in Alaska and those who vol
unteer and are drawn through the se
> lective draft for service, and would,
materially increase the interest being
taken in the war by the people of thei
Territory.
APPLE CORNER j
IS BELIEVED TO
BE.NEAR1
(By Associated Preas DiipatrM
SEATTLE. Oct. 'l.—What the box j
shortage for apples is in the North
, west is not known, but east of the
mountains 11.262.UOO boxes will be
furnished, of which 85 or 90 per cent
will be delivered between October 15
and November 1. There will be 2,500
boxes ready for delivery in 30 days.
’ Manufacturers have an additional ca
pacity of 2,975,000, making a total
box output of 12,855,000 boxes. Such
were the figures on the situation east
of the mountains, as offered at to
day's conference of fruit growers and
box manufacturers, called by W. B.
Ayr, of the food administration, at the
request of Herbert C. Hoover,
t At the recent Spokane conference
it was estimated that there would bej
a shortage of 6,500,000 boxes for the
Northwest. Today’s conference is for
the purpose of approximating the
boxes necessary for the crop and also
^ whether the manufacturers will he
1 able to meet the required number.
Apple Corner is Charged
A spirited tilt developed at the con- j
ference between independent growers |
* and the market agencies. From state
ments made it appears that three
market agencies, Denny & Co., the
Earl Fruit company and the Boise
Products company, have contracted
: for the entire box capacity of a large
group of mills, thereby virtually cor
nering the box market.

“We have also asked for authority !
to enlist men for the aviation corps'
and for other special corps which thej
government is raising. On account of j
the mining industries here the percen
tage of technical men for the number
of the population is relatively higher
in this section of Alaska than in any

NEW ENGINE
IS PASSED
AFTER TEST
(By Associat'd l*r'»» Dispatch)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 30.—
Noiseless, unfailing, powerful, com
pact and speedy, the great new en
gine for aircraft, known as the Lib
erty motor, passed the gruelling test
of the war experts with flying colors.
Military experts admit that the trial
of the engine surpassed anything that
they had deemed possible and British
and French airmen who saw these!
tests acknowledged that they never i
saw anything so wonderful.
The linal war tests were given the
motor today after almost a month of
severe trials under absolutely every
disadvantageous state of air for fly- j
ing and for motor trouble.
It is upon this engine that Araer-i
ica relies to establish and to main
tain its air supremacy, excelling as it
does in equipment, engine power, ser
vice, speed and ability with the mini
mum weight of all other motors. It
is standardized and can be built in j
shorter time and more easily than the
present type of engine.

Harry McLean, formerly assistant
postmaster at Iditarod, died recently
at the Morningside sanitarium, to
which place he was sent from Idita
rod. He was the victim of a spinal
disease which affected his mind.
M. D. Manchester, of the Yukon
Gold force, while coming down the
Hunker road near the Klondyke mess
houses, recently saw a big black bear
and two cubs in the middle of the
road. The mother bear promptly dis
puted the passage, thinking the Ford
an enemy. However, the driver slow
ed down and kept coming. This was
too much for bruin and she beat a
hasty retreat for the hills.
The Nenana News was recently re
quested to announce that Dr. M. K.
Smith, of that placefi had a quantity
Df typhoid antitoxin, which he would
give away free to the residents if they
would call at the hospital. He stated
that the exceedingly high water made
the danger of contagion especially
great and advised that all water for
ilrinking purposes be boiled.
[SUNDAY’S j
| SERMONS |
“DOING HIS WILL TO
KNOW HIS DOCTRINE”!
“Doing His Will to Know His Doc
trine" was the theme at the Methodist
church Sunday evening. Rev. Patton
said: In John 7:17, we read, “If any
man do his will, he shall know of the
doctrine, whether it be of God, or
whether I speak of myself." Jesus
here challenged all the world to be
convinced as to the truth of his teach
ing. He leaves none out. Learned
or unlearned, white or black, we have
the opportunity to enjoy the fullness
of God. The only conditions are that,
we do his will. This is not an unrea
sonable request; it leaves man with
his freedom of action. It makes him
responsible as to his knowledge ot
God. A child was extremely ill on
board a vessel at sea, the ship's phy
sician not being skilled in children’s
diseases, dispaired of the child’s life.
It was fully realized that port could
not be reached in time for consulta
tion. The doctor sought the only open
course and sent out a wireless call in ■
search of help. An answer came that
the proper advice had been found. The
physician acted accordingly and thci
child’s life was saved. Cain and Able
each appeared to make sacrifice to;
God. God accepted Abie's petition,!
but did not hear Cain. In I John 3:12 )
we find the reason that Cain failed. *
“His works were evil." Just as the
sun is hid by an opaque body coming
between us and it, so is God shut out
of men’s lives by sin and disobedi-1
ence.

Van Vollenhoven, head of the Dutch
mission, conferred with Food Admin
istrate!' Hoover today on the food sit
uation in Holland and the status of
Dutch ships loaded with foodstuffs
held in American ports. The mission
is expected to present a new formal
proposal offering a lar^e amount of
tonnage for use in American coast
wise trade in exchange for food ship
ments. Holland, with the other
Northern European neutrals, has re
ceived no foodstuffs from the United
States since the American govern
ment took control of exports nearly
two months ago.
