Douglas Wal Help

The people of Douglas Island are in. 7ited to cather at the Lyric theatre Thursday night at S:45 o'clock to decide upon a method of raising fund for the relief ot Che Belgian war sufferers. Our ueiqhbor city, Junean, is making a united effort a!o1g ibis line aud the people of Douglas l-laud are invited to join hands with them in this work of mercy.
 A letter recently published in Life is perhaps the best statement of the case we have read. }t says.
 "I beg of you in happy, safe America to deny yourselfa a cigar, a theatre seat and au extra hat and help us to now help them. Ten cents sill buy 8 child ten rolls of bread. Fifty cents will cover little feet which never again will be caressed by mother. A dollar will buy a shawl for the widow. Give, give, < beg of your generous hearts. America has led Che would iu charity for less worthy causes. Compassion knows no nationality. Pity blesses the poor. You mothers, when you tuck your children safely into bed at night, re- member these little things reared in no less care and luxury, who are adrift in the world which has used them ill. The aged, too, like older children, hay ing lived, have earned rest before death, yet, they, too, are cast from homes, Knowing nothing of where dear ones are, their sons at the front fighting the enemy which has destroyed them for honor's sake. All Europe is one great slaughter house. Could you see this tragic possession file out from beneath St. Malo's eleventh century gates-all one's wealth is not enough to heal their broken hearts and bodies"

Some men just can't get out of the way of fame. The Ketchikan Mail says: John ". Troy, editor of the Ju
 ueau Empire, passed through this port on his way south a few days ago. Mr.. Troy goes for a rest from his ed torial labors, aud be needs it. He took a contract in the last campaign that no man could carry out. We admire bis nerve if uot his judgment. He was one of the geuetals in tbe most rotten political scheme ever sprung in Alaska.
Douglas Island news., 1914-12-02

Douglas is a happy town and one that is most fortunate because of the fact that we are not suffering from business depression. The men of Douglas Island are working and draw ing their regular pay every month. 1t is different in other places. Even the bustling town of Seattle has an army of 5000 or more unemployed living at Che sHotel de Giuks.n So it is that we can each spare a few dollars for the relief of the war sufferers on the other side of the continent. It is indeed hard for us to realize their necessity. How ever, whatever may have brought it about, they are in dire need. We may sbhor war-we can only sympathize with the innocent victims. Come on, good people, lot us show the world that there is nothing greater nor more ten der than the heart of Douglas Island.
