Seward’s quota toward the One Hundred Million Dol
lar war fund for the Red Cross is $1600. Seward will raise
it’s quota as it does all things pertaining to the war.
It doesn’t matter who started the war — Uncle Sam
will finish it.

President Wilson has asked that the American peo
ple observe Memorial day. May 30th, in prayer and fast
ing; prayer that our armies may win the war for democr
acy and rid the world of the Prussian monster.
Alaska wins first honor in subscriptions, or rather
over-subscriptions, to the third Liberty loan, in the Twelf
th Federal Reserve district. The advertising that Alaska
is securing in her support of the government, will be the
greatest kind of boosting after the war is over. Thev will
all want to come to Alaska and share in the good things.

Soft Drink
for the Bluejackets
Our boys in the navy enjoy their
Bevo. The esteem in which it i3
held by the entire Navy Depart -
• ment is clearly indicated by the
fact that it is sold and. served on
all U. S. vessels and in training
camps. Afloat or ashore, you will
find Bevo unusually refreshing,
good and healthful.
Soft in the strictest sense, but a
thoroughgoing man’s drink. Try
it by itself, or with a bite to eat.
Served everywhere—families
supplied by grocers, druggists
or dealers.

The Food Administrator lias sent out a warning that
unless people consume less meat there will be a continu
ance of meatless meals and meatless days.
A decrease of 30 per cent in the cost of raw hides, an
nounces a St. Louis shoe factory, would affect the manu
facturing cost of a pair of shoes about 5 cents. But no
doubt an increase of 30 per cent would make it necessary
to raise the price of shoes about $1.50 a pair.
Might is right, says the Hun, as his long-range gun
brings down a maternity hospital. While any nation holds
to this policy, the world cannot be a wholly decent place to

it pours on your shoulders or surges

ONE PIECE footwear. And as for
wear—it navigates rocky surfaces and
jagged trails that would spell death for
ordinary footwear ui a half or third

more. Nothing made like it—looks
like it—or wears like 'it. Try it.

PARISIANS ARE
PREPARING FOR
THE AIR RAIDS
PARIS, May 14 — Parisians are
“digging in” to avoid the bombs of
the German air-raiders. Trench
shelters, it is announced, will be con
structed along the Champs Elysces in
the Bois de Boulogne, in the Bois de
Vincennes and in all the public squares
These are intended as refugees for
persons in quarters where strongly
vaulted cellars are not accessible.
Their construction will give the people
of the Frnch capital more than ever
the conviction that Paris is now a
part of the heroic front.
31 ore than 3,000 cellars already are
in use as places of refuge during air
raids and the authorities have given
their approval of them as safe even
if the house over them should be desr
troyed by airmen’s bombs. Some of
these cellars shelter as many as 100
persons. Many of them are connected
with another cellar by a passage so as
to afford an exit if flooded by broken i
water pipes or filled with gas from
broken gas mains.
Some are equipped with tools for
•epairing broken j)ipes.
