ARMISTICE DAY
Just nine years ago tomorrow ended that vast, de
structive struggle wherein thousands of our bravest boys,
our finest citizens unstintingly gave their efforts, their
blood, their very lives, that we at home might remain for
ever safe from the threat of militarism.
AT 11 O’CLOCK
At 11 o’clock let us stand for a minute in silence, fac
ingthe East, thinking of the incalculable debt we owe to
those who perished in the most glorious cause under
heaven.
FOR PEACE MISSION, NOT WAR
An the eve of the annual drive for new members and
^'maintainance of its standing army of supporters intact,
Chairman T. R. McEwen of the Seward Chapter of the
American Red Cross, is confident Seward, as heretofore,
will more than subscribe its quoto.
Tomorrow, Armistice Day, has been set aside for the
society’s annual roll call, and is the period during which
the people are given opportunity to endorse the first aid
movement by joining the ranks of the Red Cross.
Clergymen throughout the land will extoll from their
pulpits tomorrow the humanitarian peace-time activities
of the American Red Cross. v
Sixty percent of membership subscriptions are re
tained by the local Chapter for home work.
The society performs a very wonderful work.
Remember this tomorrow when you are asked to join.
“UNCLE JOE” WAS MODEST
“Uncle Joe” Cannon attributed many of the quota
tions credited to him in the press at the inventions of re
porters. Addressing the Washington correspondents one
time he said:
“I owe to the Washington correspondents’ corps, my
reputation as a wit and critic. When I came to Washing
ton I earned that you men possessed the magic power of
making fame for men in pubic life. Some of your mem
bers discovered that Joe Cannon enjoyed publicity and
would never repudiate any newspaper story. So, for a
quarter of a century, I have been quoted on every conceiv
able subject, although I have really given very few inter
views. It has not been necessary for you to consult me
as to my opinion. You knew about where I stood and you
have made me say what you thought I should say. Some
times I have been a trifle shocked by the words you have
put in my mouth ,but I have always ’stood pat.’
“For instance, during the war, a reporter made me
say that the army officers who remained at Washington
to conduct the buusiness necessary to the operations over
seas ‘wore spurs to keep their feet from sliding off the
rooo-top desks’. That littJe sally went across the country
and caused amusement among some critics of the war
administration, but it was a deep inndignity and com
plete injustice to hundreds of men in uniform wso manag
ed the war campaign from Washington and naturally
wore the conventional uniforms of officers.
“I regretted that particular quotation, but until this
minute I have never complained to you, the real authors
of my fame.”

up,” remarked D. E. Valade yesterday
with reference to tonight's double
header basketball game betwix the
Army and (not the Navy) but the
City squad. First of all the atten
dance 'will be treated to another rrp
snorter fracas staged between the

The first game, the girls, starts
promptly at eight bells, 8 o’clock.
To help things along abit the Sew
ard band will be on tap making its
I first public appearance in months.
I This in itself should be of sufficient
assurance that a big turn-out will be
present this evening.
AUTO CRANK LOST
If anyone by any chance have pick
ed an auto crank during the past few
days they will confer a great favor
on the honorable Sgt. B. V. High, by
letting him know. He says it is a dif
ficult task to crank up his old Buick
four -without a crank, and if one does
not think so he will be very .happy to
give them a practical lesaon.
Mrs. A. T. Moehring, who Served
as a juror during the Anchorage term
