\eed for Red Cross activities every
where is not realized by those remote
from centers of mobilization or those
who do not realize the true horror of
war, and realization cannot be had un- j
til the mangled wrecks of humanity j
come drifting home from the battle}
line.
This was the situation in Canada in
the early days of the war and it is
the same here. Onlv those of adven
turous spirit and those in the regu
larly organized units went on the first
call from the Dominion. Oth°rs look
ed on with a disinterested spirit and
this continued through the first year
of the conflict.
Then home came the survivors of
the Ypres. gassed and sightless, piti
ful examples of Hun frightful ness,
anti all Canavto, except the disloyal
among the French Canadians arose in
arms.
It is not money alone that counts i
in the needs of the Red Cross, but
work.
There must be socks, bandages, hos
pital garments, dressings, slippers.I
and sweaters by the ton.
It is not believed that we are with
out care for the wounded of our Al
lies, but it is that we do not realize
the need for actual labor.
Once let Crit Tolman, or Bill Ken
nedy, or any of the men we know,
come hack from the front with the
story of actual conditions'—shortage
of doctors, hospital supplies, and the
nights of agony waiting fo,* what you
might have provided, and there will
he women anxious and begging for an
opportunity to help.
Anything which might be said new
is without avail.
More activity is being shown in
Southeastern Alaska because there it
is not far from Prince Rupert, which
has given its quota of men long since
and has its quota of dead and wound
ed, never to be forgotten.

TAKE A BRACE
Recent arrivals from up the Inlet
give as the reason for the lailure ii
efforts to organize a home guard
there, the fear of those eligible that
they may he called upon to put down
an uprising right at home, so exten
sive is the turbulent and seditious ele
ment at hand.
It is difficult to realize that this can
be true, that there are in any part of
Alaska, enough disloyal persons to be
cause for serious worry, and that
those living in the same community
should show the white feather is be
yond comprehension.
The best thing for loyal people in
terested in the upper country, to do.
is to forget their differences, petty
jealousy and desire for preferment,
and put down organized and disor
ganized attempt to foment sedition.
To do less is cowardly.
a
CRUELTY TO FILM FANS
Film fans hereabouts recommend
that the man who buys releases for
Captain Fathrop, change hi» brand M
hop. or write to a few of the ulti
mate consumers of canned drama for
opinions on what is considered most
appetizing.
The melodrama entitled Xew York
featuring Miss Florence Heed, which
was shown here last evening, does not
reflect credit upon the buyer’s judg
ment, neither does it flatter the Alask
ans’ supposed taste for occular enjoy
ment.
Melodramas are distasteful, and thr
canned type are worse than the fresh
article. Also there is extreme doubt
as to whether any board of censor
ship would* stand for as many shoot
ings and as much brutality as was
portrayed in the film shown here yes
terday evening, unless it pointed sonic
exceedingly strong moral and the play
referred to was conspicuous for its
lack of.nioral.

the only fur-covered goldfish in the

entage is established.

DISCOVER NEW FISH
j ARCHDALE, Del. — Coast fisher
