ANCHOKACK. ALASKA, THURSDAY. APRIL 1-’.
DO YOUR DUTY, YOUNG MEN.
Anchorage ha- a right t«t expect that those voting men who
are physically fit will join the military organization that is in
progress of format ion hero. We hope, ami we believe, that
they who join this local organization will not be called upon
tor foreign service, lint that is neither here nor there. The
point is that Anchorage should show its colors, should reveal
in a substantial and concrete manner its willingness to respond
to the nation’s call, in case of need. It is up to this town at
this time to organize military forces, just as ever\ other city,
town, hamlet and village in the Fnited States of America and
outlying possessions thereof, are doing right now. The exeeu
live committee, in whose hands the formation of a military or
ganization has been placed, by selection of a public mass meet
lias fixed on Friday evening of this week to start the formal or
ganizatiou of the military forces. < >n that evening those who
have signed the cards that have been distributed and all oth
ers who may wish to join, are requested to assemble at the old
Presbyterian church building on F street. I>c there; don’t let
any other engagement prevent you from doing your manifest
duty. Il is no time to think of amusement or pleasure when
this great nation is at war with a powerful enemy. Don’t ex
hibit indifference. Do as other young men in all other com
munities are doing now. Show your patriotism; your love of
your country; your loyalty to the Stars and Stripes. Those be
tween the ages of 18 and do years are eligible to enlistment.
Likewise, those up to 4b years of age. who have had previous
military experience are urged to .join. Parents should encour
age their youths to enlist. It will do them good physically.
Our fathers before us have fought to preserve this great nation,
and it is up to us of this day and generation to uphold the hon
or and dignity of the Fnited States of American—high attrib
utes that have been bequeathed to us by our forebears, many
of whom shed their jife’s blood that the heritage of liberty \
might be passed down to future generations. A< the heroes
of the war of the revolution and the civil war fought and died
that this nation might live, so must we of this generation
light, and die. if need be. to maintain our freedom.
The executive committee has selected Lieut. <'. A. Ross,
of the II. S. army, to take charge of the organization of the lo
cal forces. Lieut. Ross did not seek this trying position, lie
was chosen because of his eminent fitness, and he accepted be
cause he is a loyal American, ready to do his duty.
If the rich, red blood of your forebears courses through
your veins, you will be at the meeting Friday evening.
AWAY WITH PESSIMISM.
A Kansas college professor raises the cry that if tlu* sea
son’s crops are not as abundant a^ usual, this great nation will
he wanting in food supplies. Others are bewailing the fact
that the I'nifed States has not a standing army of a million or
more, in the war situation that confronts ii>. Pessimists are
shouting their doleful tunes from the house tops and are eon
tributing to the unrest of the people generally. Such talk as
-■ indulged in by the Kansas professor and others is what in
creases the cost of living, already enough, heaven knows. Away
with the pessimists! Kverything i~ alright and will continue
1o lie alright. The crops will be as abundant as usual. The
• I oil of nature is not going to desert us in the hour of our need.
In fact, we are going to raise the most abundant crop this year!
in the history of the nation. Why.' Because there will be a
big demand for farm products and good prices will be obtained
by the tiller of the soil. As to troops, if we haven’t got the.a,
we can train them. That's how other nations gained <|;eir
lighting forces.
We are free to confess that this pessimistic talk makes u
weary. We have faith in the ingenuity of the American poo
pie. We do not believe that any other nation on earth can
provide the lighting forces and the fighting equipment that this
nation can produce. Anyone who is at all informed, must know
that some of the most important lighting weapons employed by
tin1 belHgcrent nations in Fiirope are American invention. . I
The submarine and tin Hyingmachine are creatures of the!
brains of American inventors. And the brains that conceived''
these lighting machines can evolve means to be used in combat !
ing them.
The t inted States will be required to raise a considerable!
army of defense and will do so without serious trouble. It is
not expected that we shall send large forces to the fighting
fronts. Uf course, Col. Roosevelt may take a division or two
over to France, and we hope lie will. But other than that, we
figure that our lighting forces will be employed on the Mexican
border and in guarding our great manufacturing plants and
great industries. But it is advisable to prepare for any eventu
ality that may arise. And that is what our capable govern
merit is doing right now.
Our big part in this world war will be to supply our al
lies with ample financial aid, adequate supplies of food prod-,
nets, clothing, munitions, etc., and our fleets can be empoyed
to advantage in clearing the seas of (icrinan raiders and sub
marines.
There are no grounds for fears, but at the same time, we
must not be asleep. We must realize that war is on with a
jiowerful foe and we must exert ourselves to the limit of our
endeavors.

new points.
We have received a complete line
tof Cut Class Ware in Wine, Liquor
and Water Sets. Having bought all of

BRITISH ^RIVE TEUTONS BEFORE THEM.
LONDON, April 1*_\ General Haig, commander of the
British forces in France, today reports the capture from the
Germans of the villages of Monchy, Is* Preax and Labergirc,
and says that the British troops are sweeping in pursuit of
the retreating German hordes. A large number of German
prisoners were taken at Vuiny ridge. They had been cut off
from food supplies for four days and were in a pitiable condi- 1
tiou, wholly unable to give resistance.
