ARMY OFFICER
 DEFENDS ALASkANS

The allegation of Archdeacon Hud- son Stuck. of Alaska. in his recent book. "Ten Thousand Miles With a Dog Sled" that the influence of the white man is general and of the Ameri' can soldier in particular on the native population of Alaska Is for evil, Is de- nied by Capt. R. Fl. Pierson, who has been the surgeon at Fort Gibbon. at Panama. for the past two years. Capt. Pierson, who has just been transferred reached Seattle on the steamer Jeffer- son yesterday and Is registered at the Hotel Washington, says the Seattle PostIntelllgencer. awaiting orders from the government.
 "I havn't read the archdeacon's book" said the captain yesterday aft ernoon. but I know the contents pretty we'll. He charges the white population with debauching the In dians and with selling them liquor in large quantities. Now. am not de nying that these things so on. They do everywhere that the white men have had any dealings with 8 less civilized population. But think that. on the whole, the soldiers and the gen. eral white population of Alaska are . pretty fine lot of people. Let me ten you something about what those same people whom he denounces so unspar' ingly have done.
 Give Money to The Church.
 Last winter, by sales and bazars, the people of Panama, raised $500 for the support of the Episcopal mission. The same amount was raised for the work of the Roman Catholic church. Then the Episcopal mission burned. and they raised $500 toward the cree. tion of new one. And at Christmas they raised $500 for Christmas tree, through which a present was given to every child in the neighborhood, The Episcopal mission was without mis- sionary last winter. and the people asked me to hold services, which did, and they all turned out for them. That doesn't look as though they were an irreligious and wicked lot, does it?
 AS concerns the selling of liquor to the natives, I believe that the regula- tion which prohibits it is as much re- sponsible for the existing evils as any. thing. If an Indian could buy his whiskey over the bar, under proper re- strictions. there would be much less drinking. But where he has to buy 1t in quantity to get 1t at all, he doesn't stop until it is all gone. That white men sell the liquor to the Indian in that way is simply the result of the government restriction.
 What Evil There Is Is Open.
 "I think very highly of the Alaska white men. There are evil men in every community, and in Alaska the evil is likely to be open rather than glossed over and sn2aking. as in more highly civilized communities. Alaska has made a great contribution to the world from her mineral resources, but far greater than this, believe. has been her contribution to the world through the men that she has de- veloped. They are of heoric mold. en- during hardships that people else where could never stand. and they do not deserve the condemnation that has been heaped upon them. I believe that their wickedness has been ex. plotted for the benefit of the mission. aries. If they didn't have stories to tell of the wickedness that exists there they couldn't get as much money as they do"

BOY SCOUTS MAY
 BE WAR FACTORS
(By Gertrude E. Mallette) Boy Scouts.

Among many other phrases of the Wars influence that the world at large is likely to overlook in it's interest in the greater things, is the activity of the Boy Scouts. A scout movement was begun m Juneau last year, fact which will naturally bring nearer home the bigger significance of the movement in foreign lands in this time of strife and struggle.
 Already the Scouts are playing an important role In connection with the military operations in the European conflict, though their work will be rather incidental than a part of the active campaign. Several Scouts have been taken as spies in Belgium, thus early in the war; while on duty as bridge guards. Essentially an organ working for peace, the largest work of the Scouts will undoubtedly be con nected with the enormous task of harvesting the crops in the warning countries. Baden-Powell, one of the foremost organizers in the Scout work, remarked few days ago: Tt should be remembered that though we are against war, we are not, therefore against seif-defense. It follows that every patriotic Scout, should necessity arise, will respond to his country's call for such aid as he may be able to render
 Through their training in signal work, undoubtedly large number of the older Scouts will be called into service in the capacity of officers at tendants, orderlies and messengers. Baden.Powell is careful to state, how ever, that whatever part they may play in such connection will be in their individual capacities, and not as Boy Scouts, but simply as young men well trained for the duties required of them.
 Like many other organizations show ing permanence and power, the Scout
 movement can be traced back to widely differing sources where con structive ideas came to boy workers and were tested with varying degrees of success. The emphasis of the move ment has always been laid upon peace interests, rather than otherwise, and the greatest aim is efficient citizen ship, service and character building. England was the pioneer in the move ment, and since its first establishment in that country it has been establish ed in twenty-seven countries. There are approximately 5OO,OOO Boy Scouts in Europe, divided as follows: Great Britain, 100000; Germany. 5O,OOO; France, 5000; Austria-Hungary. 15.- 900; Russia-Poland, 5000; Servia, A. 900; Scandinavia, SO,OO0; Scattered, S5,OOO.

Paris.-An official statement issued
by the war Office this afternoon adj
1nits that the retiring movement of
the French left before the superior
numbers of the German right wing
continues.
It is stated, however, that the
French are slowly advancing in LOr-
raine in the vicinity of the Vosges
and that a general engagement is
now in progress in the vicinity of the
Mouse.
HonoluIu.-Stripped for action and
with her crew prepared to die fight
ing, but determined never to sur
render, the German cruiser Nurnberg
sailed out of Honolulu haTbor during
the night. '.
The Australian cruiser Warrego
was reported to be waiting outside
the. three-mile limit, and Captain
Schoenburg of the NuTnberg hoped
to escape her.
London.-The Belgium high COM
mission, appointed to protest to Pres
ident Wilson and the government of
the United States against alleged
German atrocities in Belgium, and
especially against the burning of
LouVain, sailed for the United States
on the Celtic of the White Star Line
this afternoon.
Paris.-AlI of the military hospitals
south of Paris are flied with wound
ed brought from the north. Among
them are many British. The wound
ed praise the bravery of the German
infantry in the highest terms, but
state they are being deliberately sac
rificed by their officers, who keep
them in action against artillery with
out any attempt to silence the guns
or to take cover. The Germans move
straight ahead in massed formation
until they are almost annihilated.

the earlier movements in the field,

officers led their men.
The British field marshal reports:
British officers killed, SO; wounded,

killed, 1877; wounded, 629; missing,

limit Dutch steamer Won Hogendorp
stopped off Jersey coast by British
cruiser Suffolk.
jacksonville, Fla.-Reports from
st. Augustine say heavy firing has
been ehard off Florida coast.
Paris, Sept. 1.-THE fifth German
aeroplane which flew over Paris this
afternoon and was driven off by guns
mounted on Eiffer tower dropped
two bombs in the city. Both explod-
ed, but no serious damage was done.
It is now considered certain that the
aeroplane was not hit by the shots
fired as the aviator headed of from
the city at high speed.
The guns in Eifiel tower fired re-
peated at the aeroplane, but could not
get the range. The machine kept at
height of more than 1000 feet.

sued from the war Office when it

Coming on top of similar announce
