YOUNG MEN OF ALASKA, YOUR COUNTRY CALLS.
A foreign lot* threatens this nation. Already American
lives, while engaged in lawful pursuits on the high seas, have
been sacrificed, as a result of the inhuman, unlawful, self*as
serted, indiscriminate submarine policy inaugurated by the
German empire. The Prussian submarine policy recognizes
neither law of God nor man. It responds only to the will or ca
price of the Teutonic military system. This foreign foe has
done more than assert dominion over the high seas. It has
surreptitiously been engaged in seeking to form an alliance
with Japan, Mexico and Cuba, to make war on the United
States, should this nation boldly proclaim its rights as a neu
tral and decline to supinely yield to the unprecedented and vici
ous submarine policy invoked by the German autocrat and a
coterie of willing henchmen. A condition not of our own seek
ing confronts us, and we propose to make armed resistance to
further encroachments on our lights.
The United States is preparing to make war on this for
, eign foe. Indeed, a state of war already exists. A call to the
eolors has been issued. The young men.of the nation are asked
to respond to this call. At this time, it comes from the United
States navy department. In every loyal daily newspaper in
America today, Secretary of the Navy Daniels appeals for men
for the navy, to man new ships and ships held in reserve. The
Times feels honored by being called on to assist in the good
work of enlistment.
The president of the United States has signed an executive
order directing that the authorized enlisted strength oi the
navy be increased to 87.000 men. He was authorized by con
gress, in case of emergency, to direct such increase in enlist
ment. New ships and ships in reserve are being fully commis
sioned as rapidly as possible and the need is imperative for a
larger enlistment to man them. There lias been a net increase
of over 6,500 in enlistment since congress recently authorized
, an increase, but many more are needed. AND NEE DUD NOW.
The United States navy offers exceptional advantages to
young men of stuff and ambition to serve in the first line for
national defense. There are many young mAi in Anchorage
and in the Cook inlet country that are adapted, in all respects,
to service in the navy of the nation.
The Times is authorized, by Secretary of the Navy Daniels,
to make this appeal to the young men of Alaska, in behalf of
the nation that we love and revere, and that now needs the will
ing aid of all patriotic young men. Do not permit this appeal
1q fall on unwilling ears. It is a duty, an honor, a high privi
lege, to serve your country in the hour of need, and that hour
has come. IT IS HERE NOW.
I
Any one wishing further information with respect to serv
ice in the United States navy can gam it through application
to, The Times. We in turn shall secure it from the navy depart
ir|ent. This method is rendered necessary because there is no
recruiting office here.
It is with confidence in the loyalty, in the manhood, and
ir the high sense of duty of the young men of Anchorage, and
ofid-he Cook inlet country that this appeal is made. Let it not
bdfsaid of us that an urgent appeal from our trusted officials
of the government shall fall on dumb ears. Such a result is
unthinkable. On the contrary, let us respond nobly to the call
of the nation. Let us show that the young men of Alaska are
\ only too glad, in the hour of need, to throw their all on the altar
of the nation.
DO NOT DELAY A SINGLE MOMENT. ENLIST NOW.

through the land and industrial department of the Alaskan En

LORD FISHER IS
.« I
IN NOT DEBATE
LONDON, Mar^i 6.—Atlnpll Sir
Hedworth Meux, member of tfie house
of commons for Portsmouth, at which
port he is commander-in-chief, in
criticising in the house those who
wished to bring Lord Fisher, first? sea
yord, back to the admiralty said:
“Lord Fisher deserted his post
like a traitor.”
There were scores of dissents at
this juncture.
“Well," went on Admiral Meux, "if
he had been a soldier of a sailor he
would have been shot.” '
“This hydra-headed intrigue to
bring Lord Fisher back,” declared
the speaker, ‘is headed by persons
who had failed and if there is one
way to lose the war it is to bring
back those who have failed.”
George Lambert, a member of the
north division of Devonshire, expres
sed regret at the withdrawing of Ad
miral Jellicoe from the command of
the fleet, characterizing it as a “du
bious proceeding,” very like with
drawing Nelson from before Trafal
gar.” ' : 1
In his opinion a gigantic effort was
necessary to deal with the submarine
menace.
