A Recruiting Station at Nome.

- rSSi ototiOu a. tNOhtCs
A suggestion comes from the North
that IL the government cares TO relieve
the people who are stranded on the
beach at Cape Nome It can do so by
enlisting large number OF men for mil
itary service In the Orient. There are
said to be hundreds OF men at Nome
who have nothing to do and are with
out means to provide for transportation
home. The labor market II overstock-
ed. and hundreds are unable to find an
opportunity to work for wages. Many
OF these men. although warned OF what
they would encounter in the new min
ing district on the shore of Boring sea.
went North without money or provi-
sions. They now find themselves des-
titute. wholly unprepared to combat the
rigors OF an Arctic winter. and there
fore driven TO the necessity OF asking
for free return passage.
II has been suggested In some quar-
tiers that II is the duty of the govern
ment TO bring back at public expense
all these people who are reported to be
In desperate straits. but II Is doubt
full II the task could be accomplished
even II the government was disposed 20
do II. The United States does not I'M
dertake 10 hold itself ready to go to the
relief OF misguided people who have em-
barked on mining ventures and fnd
themselves stranded because Of their
own carelessness. lack OF means or the
unfortunate turn OF events. II n did.
one OF the chief functions Of govern
ment would be the carrying OF succor
to reckless people who 20 fortune hunt
ing without counting the cost or call
culating on the difficulties that are 10
be encountered.
The plan Of enlisting men al Nome for
military service Is something more
practicable. II would give work 70
many who would probably enter the
service gladly II the opportunity were
offered. and az the same time would re-
iieve the labor market which is said
20 be so overrrowded. Men given the
alternative % passing winter at Nome
ai,hou, supplies or 81 nghting for Uncle
sam In China would no doubt choose
the latter. and they would be helping
both the government; and themselves.
The United states needs men for the
army. and there IS no telling how ur-
gent the ean for recruits VIII be In the
next few months II Is safe to say that
u 81 eco soldiers could be enlisted at
Nome they could be used 20 advantage
In the Orient at once. Moreover. the
work ot recruiting could be completed
quickly and the new contingent OF aght-
ins men thrown into China or the phil
ippines more easily and with far great
er dispatch than h they were gathered
In sections % the country more remote
from the present scene OF military ac-
,ivity.
The government may find Il well
worth while to take this matter under
serious consideration, and II II decides
that the plan is practicable one, to act
promptly. The calls for relief from Nome
viii probably become more urgent with
each succeeding week. and Sghatsver the
nature Of the response to the demand
for assistance. it must come soon. before
the season OF navigation Is at an END.

The moral Of this is that It is always
best to give away your money before
you get it-as. otherwise, you may lose
altogether the fun Of being generous.
