Now is the time public organizations of Seward to be
stir themselves and think of publicity for Seward. Pub
licity is everything, that is. real hot blooded publicity. It
does no good to think out loud among a few of what should
be done, but make a noise like "hustle" and let the world
know what it is all about. Poggeyinn and fossilism has
no place in Seward. Energetic action is needed now.
Take it ail back—if now looks as if—remember "it
r. >w looks."—as if March may go out like a lamb instead
of a lion, as it came in.
The disease "Hunism,” embodying as it does, all of the
filthful diseases of mind and body, must be stamped out
for certain. Kipling, in an interesting interview in anoth
er part of today’s < lateway, says something worth reading
and then worth remembering.
Easter will soon he here and then the Devil will come
out from his forced retirement and launch his yearly of
tensive. Hut between the real horrors of war and the
barbarism of the degenerate kaiser and his more degen
( rate co-horts, the Devil is going to have a devil of a time
making gains on any ground.
Hungary's premier proclaims that she didn’t enter
the war for conquest. They’ll all he confessing that the
kaiser made ‘cm do it, before long.
Score another one for Charles A. Sulzer, Delegate
I com Alaska to Congress! His homestead bill is more evi
dence that he is working for the north and the people in it.
Have you registered for the election next Tuesday?
If not do so. for it is important that you vote and show
your franchise right.
Norway gives convicted German bombers seven
months's imprisonment. It’s simply dangerous to slap the
kaiser’s wrist that wav.

One thing, if you don’t watch the moon rise on these
nights, you are missing a most prettvsight.

MILK SUPPLY
FOR CHILDREN
IS THREATENED
WASHINGTON, March 2S. — One
oi the most disastrous epects which
ran come fiom the world war and one
which threatens the future life of the
nation is the curtailment of the milk
suppl\ fo» children, say.- a buMetin
iust issued by the Children’s Bureau
of the most disastrous effects which
Laboi-. .Milk is described as the in
dispensable food for children and
whenever the milk supply is limited
the life and health is imperilef
The probable effect of the war on
tin* health and welfare o*' out chil *-en
is hot learned from the experience of
the European countries. It is to a’vt
Mich conditions as now exist in Euro;>e
tiiat the Children’s Bureau of the La
bor Department is pointing out the
eeresisty of increasing and conserv
ing our milk supply.
tn ord »r to supply food to the allies
ihir country must prepare to feeti an
< ver ineieasing number. This can be
done in two ways -by increased pro
duction or by decreased use of f(Hjd.
Kooii may be saved by eating less, by
substitution or by elimination of
waste. None of these methods will
impair the health of the adult. But
the child cannot have its food cur
tailed. Neither is it wise to attempt,
except in the case of cereals, substi
tution of foods, asserts the Children’s
Bureau.
Before 11:0 war the United Slates
imported large quantities of milk pro
ducts from the northern European
countries Now this supply is com
pletely shut off. The United States
is compelled to not only give up its
import, but must be a large exporter
of these commodities to the allies.
According, to the bulletin of the bu
reau, the existing situation demands
that the number of milch cows must
\h> increased in this country or the en
tire world will face the calamity of
milk shortage. The growing demands
on the country for milk production
das not been met b> a corresponding
increase in dairy herds. The per ca
pita milk production in the United
States is now only about one quart
including that used for all purposes.
It has not increased since 11)00 and,
unless immediate steps are taken to
augment and conserve the dairy in
dustry, it will fall rapidly.
In Europe the milch cow has been

this country and, unless radical mens- j
ur?s are taken to prevent it, the same
situation will obtain. It is an aston
ishing fact, the Department’s Ilullctin
shows, that the price of feed has in- \
creased not more than 20 per cent.
As a war measure immediate action
is mporative to save and further the
country’s dairy industry.
CUBANS GOING !
OVER THE TOP !
JOIN COMRADES
HAVANA, March 28. — Adolfo Tro
and Antonio Lopez liubio the first two
Cuban soldiers to go “over the top” in
France, arc on their way to rejoin i
their comrades of the Foreign lx?gion
from an Atlantic poit, after having
wrought, as a gift to President Mono*
cal, on their furlough here, a tattered ;
Cuban flag, which was raised in “No
Man’s Land” last April 7, when Cuba
declared war on Germany.
While the measures which the Cu- '
ban Government contemplates taking
to send an active lighting lorce to the
French front are not completed, many
Cubans like these two heroes have vol- •
u n tee red in the* French Foreign Le
gion. liubio and Tro left Havana on
September the 2drd, 1914, to enlist in
the French Army as volunteers. They /
were accompanied by eight other Cu~ .
bans, and all were incorporated in thv
infantry of the Morocco division c-f i
the French army.
'I he shrapnel-torn Cuban flag wh ich
is a prized .souvenir of General Me no- !
cal, was hoisted by Tro and Rubio with
two other Cubans, privates Circuelo,!
and Crespo and were attached to the
same division. 1 he French military i
telephone had just brought tu the sec
tor where the Cubans were stationed,
the news ol Cuba’s declaration of war
a gains. Germany, and the flag was
hoisted on a small pavapet amid the
cheers of the French soldiers. Its ap
pearance was .^aluted by the Geimans
with a shower of shrapnel which killed
Ciruelo and Crespo. Their com pan-1
ions regained the flag^and Rubio and :
'I ro were commissioned to bring it j
back and hand it to General Menocah.i
