YUKON'S CONTRIBUTION
 TO EUROPEAN WAR

The contribution of the Yukon Ter rltory to the cause of the Empire in the present great war is something over which the Empire, the Dominion and the Yukon, should be proud. This Territory with its population not ex- ceeding 5000 white and not more than 10000 natives and whites combined, is sending to the front about fifty of it's most rugged men, and is contri- outing in cash to the various volun- teer funds in-round numbers S10,0OO.
 The fifty men represent one per cent. at least of the entire white pop ulation of the Territory, and the cash contribution represents two dollars per capita for every man, woman and child. Were the Dominion to send one per cent. of her total population she would have SO,OO0 men for the front. Were she to contribute volun- tarlly two dollars per capita through out her wide domain her cash war fund would be $16,O00,0O0.
 Were the entire Empire to contri- bute men in like proportion to Yu- kon in-this first contingent, Britain would have from her total poulation of 434, ,O00.O .OOO no fewer than 4,34O,OOO men in the field. Cut the Empires population intwain, and even then the army under the Union Jack at the rate of one per cent. of the Yukon's proportion of contribution. would pro duce an army of the magnificent to- tai of 2,17OO00. Such figures would make Kitchener glow.-Dawson News.

 POWDER TOO TAME

Conspicuous among novel weap- ons used in the present war is the petrol bomb. Use of poisonous gases is undoubtedly planned by military engineers"
