A H. McDonald, recruiting agent in
Seward for the sea training bureau,
U.S. Marines, ha> received the follow
ing instructions from VV.J. Gramhs.
supervisor of the Seattle Training
station. United States Shipping Board
** This is to inform you that Kd
ward .V Hurley, Chairman of thj
United States Shipping Board, has to
day established new age limits tor
men entering the Merchant Marine
through the iCecruiting Service. 1* rum
now on adventurous youths from IS
to 20 inclusive will oe accepted for
training on the training ships of the
Shipping Board as sailors, cooks and
stew arils. Men between the ages of 32
and 35 inclusive, w ill also be accepted
for training as sailors, cooks and stew
-arils. Prior to this date all the 3000
men a month accepted for training by
the Shipping Board and subsequent
service in merchant crews have been
within the present draft age limit of
21 to 31, but in order to draw more
lightly on men available for military
duty under present draft legulations.
the Shipping Board will hereafter ac
cept men of draft age only for train*
ing as firemen. New age limits for
fireman are 21 to 31 inclusive. Uire
men who have fired six months w ill be
given special training as oilers and
watertenders.
“Mr. Hurley states that he expects
the new age regulations to stimulate
recruiting for the Merchant Marine
service. There have been several thou
sand inquiries by letter from youths
under the draft age who want to go
to sea. We are building for the future
and hope that a majority of youths
under 21 to be trained by the Ship
ping Board as sailors, cooks anil stew
ards will stick to Merchant Marine
after the war is over.
**l’pon receipt of this letter ill you
please set* that recruiting for the Mer
chant Marine will be stimulated. The
training station at Seattle consisting
of the shore station and the two train
ing ships, l.S. “Iroquoise” and the
U.S. “Chippewa” are now in comnuss
ion and we have at the present time
some oOO recruits in training. Our
capacity is 750 and we urge upon you
the patriotic duty of putting forth
every effort to send us young Ameri
cans to be trained to man the ships
of the United States Government, and
in doing so you will he materially as
sisting to win the war.”
U.S. MARINES
GREAT BUNCH
OF FIGHTERS
United States Marines now in Fran
ce are a wonderful class of men. Sev
eral weeks ago the Associated Press
dispatches stated that one Marine,
single handed.had captured 21 Ger
mans. United States Deputy Issue
Evans has received a letter from a
nephew, now in France, who says
that not even the Americans have any
conception of the fighting abilities of
i
the U.S. Marines.
“These marines are in a class by
themselves,” writes Mr Kvan’s neph
ew. “The other day one marine sud
denly came upon 76 Germans. With a
yell this Marine was in their midst
aud crying out orders in a fast loud
\oice, compelled the entire 76 to sur
render. The Germans threw down
their arms, put their hands in the air
and yelled Kamerad as loudly as the
marine was yelling his commands to
a mythical force. The Marine marched
the whole darn bunch right into camp.
The Germans said that they thought
a thousand men had them surrounded
: and when told that only one man had
| captured them, evinced little aston
ishment but said that they were glad
| to have been captured.
“The other day another Marine
stumbled blindly on an entire gun ma
chine force and brought them into
camp with their guns.
“The Germans are afraid of the
Marines l can tell you. They will
.-.hoot at them long range with their
wi.>bangs but w'hen the marines got
within easy shot, the Germans throw
down their guns and surrender.
“Whenever the American soldiers
go the Germans appear to have on aw
-ful horror of them. They will tight
for a time but as the Americans be
gin to approach them, the Huns eith
er run or surrender.
“Its a great life and the Germans
weaken.”

DOES YOUR BACKACHE?
It’s usually a sign of sick kidneys,
especially if the kidney action is dis
ordered, passages scanty or too fre
quent. Don’t wait for more serious
troubles. Begin using Doan’s Kidney
Pills. Read this convincing testimony.
Mrs. Gus Andreas, 242 W. Fifty
eight St. Seattle, Wash., says: 11 What
caused my kidneys to get out of order
I don’t know. Across the small of my
back and over my kidneys, sharp
pains caught me all the time. Dizzy
spells annoyed me a lot, too, and I
always felt tired outand languid . I,
used different kidney remedies but
wasn’t helped until I used Doan’s
Kidney Pills. In a short time Doan’s
had removed the trouble and I have
felt fine ever since.”
Price bO cents, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Andreas had. Foster-Milburn

FIRST ALASKA DELEGATE
IS BEUEVEI) TO BE LOST.
The following clipping taken from
the Ruby Record-Citizen makes men
tion of the following:
Arrivals from Marshall report that
Frank Waskey, first delegate to con
gress from Alaska, is believed to be
lost. He left Marshall last winter
for the new strike in Goodnews bay,
but never reached his destination.
Not a word has been heard from hirn
since he left Marshall, and it is fear
ed lost his life in one of the severe
storms of last winter.
