COME FORWARD
The Public Safety and Defense Committee, which
you. as a cnizen of Seward, authorized to act in your stead
for the safety and protection of the people and town <jt
Seward, has issued its first call. The committee directs an
announcement to the patriotic people of Seward, asking
that volunteers come forward and compose a military unit
for the purpose of drill and duty. This is an invitation
to the citizens who were in such accord with the beautiful
and patriotic sentiments expressed at the mass meeting
of last Sunday, to step into local service, and thus give ex
pression by deed to the noble patriotism that filled their
hearts.
It is the first call of the first military body in Seward.
To manv of us it is the first intinuftion of our lives that
*
Uncle Sam might need our individual services to protect
the principles of our llag. and the honor of our ancestors,
who died to make it what it is.
For all prosperity and comfort; for all the safety and
lihertv of which we have partaken so generously, Uncle
Sam lias n >t. until now. even inferred that we were in his
debt, and owed him an acknowledgement of past favors
and an expression of gratitude. We have not been asked
to face the scourge of battle on the field, or to share in
the death i«low of any enemy submarine. To ask us to
perform simpler service would be impossible; to ask us to
show less gratitude would be none at all. We have only
hoen asked to drill a couple hours a week in our home town
in order that, if need be, in the distant future, we could
distinguish “squads right" from “squads left.”
To sign the roll of membership in our little military
unit would be a gentlemanly manner of expressing to
Uncle Sam i»ur appreciation for past favors, and the
establishment of a right to share in future ones; it would
prove to ourselves for our personal, inward satisfaction
that we ar» men of high honor and great pride in our
American citizenship; it would also show that we are try
ing to assist in every way possible, and that we appreci
ate the efforts of the Public Safety and Defense Commit
tee. who are working for us.
YOUR OPPORTUNITY
Let us no longer overlook the fact that the most profi-j
table mines for Alaskans at the present time are to bej
found in the sea. Moreover, these inexhaustible mines!
are open roads t<* wealth to every man with eyes to see
and ears to hear and imagination to believe and courage
to venture.
Those mining now are virtually pioneers and pros-'
pectors, but just one of them, the Pacific American Fish- j
cries company, is investing $1,000,000 in the certainty that
the Alaskan seas will prove richer than the mines of
Golconda.
Men can do without gold, and most of us do, but we
cannot do without food; and as food, Alaskan fish will
constantly grow in popularity, not only l>ecause of its in
trinsic merit, but because it’s cheap in price, and an ever
increasing proportion of the American people must of
necessity turn to cheap foods under existing economic j
conditions.
In tne t itv of London the motor bus seems to be more i
*
deadly than the Zeppelin bombardments. Since 1914 the!
air raiders have killed 131 according to official admis
sion and th • 1ms 954; from all of which one might conclude j
with the late brother Milton that peace hath her victories I
no less renowned than war and upon occasions, more!
, „

It may be that some of them have tried it so often, j
that congressmen are getting to be fond of extra sessions, j
