CAPT. RYAN TELLS
HOME GUARDS OF
MILITARY WORK
AIasKuiu. Do Not Kcali7.c What War
Means, Says Capt. Ryan As
Territory Is Too Far
From Activities
—
EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE, BUSY
Home Guards Will Hereafter Have a
Drill But Once a Week and All
Young Men Are Asked to
Join and Secure Aid
People in Alaska, Seward as well
' as elsewhere, do not know the mean
ing of this present war. Young men
i in Seward do not grasp the signifi
cance for if they did every eligible
would be a member of the military
unit, receive instructions which will
place him in an advance pos'wim to
win a commission when diafted.”
These were two pertinent reniaiks
made by Captain John J. Ryan »n u
most interesting talk at the A B. hall
given to the local Home Guards.
Mr. Ryan has just returned from
Seattle where he says that every other
man one meets is either wearing a
naval or an army uniform. “We in
Alaska arc yet to learn what this war
means,” he said. “We are too far
away for any center to have the great
importance of military preparedness
really envelope us. Go to Seatttle, in
fact, any town in the states. At
every turn it is militarism. One goes1
in a business place and immediately j
realizes a different something and then
you know. Women predominate as
clerks, etc., the men having already
gone to the war or are at the various
:antonments. It is remarkable how
tlie war has brought out the man-|
hood of our nation. 1 watched men
waiting to enlist and all were afraid
that the doctors or examiners would,
find something to prevent them from;
bearing arms, they were so anxious
to enlist that it aroused one’s patriot- j
ism.”
Mr. Ryan mentioned the great
work of the Red Cross and stated j
that in Seattle booths were on com-'
ers, vacant stores were occupied with
Red Cross organizations. “Everybody ,
is working for the Red Cross,” said 1
Mr. Ryan. “You take the clerks in |
the many stores and they have their
nights for knitting or sewing and no
engagements interfere with this work.
It is wonderful the war work pro
gressing and one must be on a famil
iar scene like in Seattle to have it1
brought home that the United States j
is in the conflict.”
John Noon also made remarks to
the members of the Unit anu riien it
was decided to have but one drill a
night a week and that will hereafter
be Fridays. Capt. Ryan urges all
young men in Seward to give up one
night at least for their country, at
tend the drill and be taught military .
tactics.
