 ARE HELPING

Several ladies met on Monday af- ternoon to discuss manner of gath ering together the linen, etc., for bandages for wounded soldiers and sailors as outlined last week in the Daily Alaskan. Mrs. Kirmse has very kindly consented to the use e her car for this, and Monday June 2Sth, was settled upon as the day upon which this would be done.
 No boat is due on that date and 1t is hoped that a useful sup Cly,-can be collected here.
 One has no idea at all of the crying need of this help and an in stance to illustrate this came to our notice a day or two ago, when a prominent Vancouver woman stated the local chapter of the Daughters of the Empire there, had collected uo less than 10 tons of suitable linens which had been dispatched and thev were informed that that quantity was barely enough for one days needs at the front.

Spring brings to Skagway as to other places tEe sun, the flowers and otler evidences of her beneficient power. peculiar to the NOrthland, hu, seldom does it fall to our lot to have with these blessings the Gov er of Southern beauty as part of our population, even TOT q few hours.
 Es the Southland is noted for tho beauty of it's foliage, for the lusciousness of its fruits, for the songs of it's birds and for the chivalry of it's men, so is its great est c'twn of glory, the beauty and charm of it's women.
 Nc greater guerdon of the pow CT of her beauty can be extended to any girl of all the South than to be elected the "Queen of the Mardi lGras" of New Orleans.

 ELkS' HALL LAST NIGHT

Spangled Banner" by Mrs. H. G. Kirmse, with piano accompaniment by MT. c. Bonebrake, was listened to in breathless silence and at it's end the melodious .songstress was greeted with round after round of applause.
 Following this came the prin- cipal number on the program-the Patriotic Address" by Col. w. L. Steyenson-which in his masterIy hands became more than its title implied, for it was eloquent as we'll as patriotic and delivered in the speakers habitually courtly and rolished manner.
 The exercises ended with the singing of America" in the rendi- ton of which the audience rose to their feet and joined with the mem bers ct the lodge.
 The decorations of the hall con sisted of a mammoth flag stretched across the back end of the stage and the pictures of Washington and Lincoln suspended on the sides of the hall and draped with the. na- t'onal emblem.

.BEAUTEOUS PRODUCT 0F SOUTH WAITED TEMPORARILY ID NORTH

The queen of this years Mardi Gras was Miss Sadie Downman.
 There may be years when the claims to supremacy of a num- ber T the beauties of the South ale 50 nearly equal that other in- flueIces may prevail in the selec- ii C Queen, but one glance at the rate of Mss Downman will con vince any one that in this instance tLere could have been no division of opinion among the judges.
 Though Skagway is noted for it's beautiful maidens it has never been the privilege of the chronicler to gaze upon such lustrous charms. Eyes as brown and soft as a velvet pansy. Hair like the tender dusk of a June night. Features and form not to be described even in the burning words of a poet. The soft cadences of her voice are like the purling of a gentle brook.
 All cn all Miss Downman justifies both the good judgment and ap- preciation of beauty of the commit tee "f Southern gentlemen, who sc!rc:Cd this years Queen of the NaTdi Gras.

ARBITRATION.
MAY SETTLE
DIFFERENCE
Deadlock Seems Near in Ne
gotiations Between United
States and England in
! Shipping Controversy

Washington, Nov. 9.-England
and America gradually are moving
toward deadlock on the subject OF
British interference with American
commerce. against which the admin
istration has 80 vigorously protested
in its latest message to Downing
street.
Arbitration, however, Is In the
lofing, as the means Of settlement.
The note to England stands as the
administration final and unalterable
declaration Of principles. An abrupt
demand for observance OF this ma
TONS rights will follow at once upon
any future detentions.
The United States does not con-
template asking for "disavowal'
for the future, but for a categorical
answer as to whether or not England
intends to continue her blockade
which America does not recognize
and her Objectionable orders-in-
council. under which American trade
has suffered. II England does not
yield. it is believed that arbitration
will be the NEXT resort.
Congress possible Intervention
may be serious factor. 1t was point
ed out. More radical members may
seek legislation aimed at shutting OF,
for instance. munitions Of war to
the allies. or even going further and
seeking to cripple them from getting
even more needful supplies Of food
and the like.
! The administration, however, does
not favor retaliation through legis-
lation, and hopes to head on any ten
dency in that direction.
The Bryan peace treaty. some say,
is to England's advantage, for its
breathing spell' OF one year would
give England the opportunity of con-
tinuing her interference without
trouble before arbitration could be
broached.

Los Angeles. Nov. 9.--In spite Of
its defeat by Oregon, the University
OF Southern California football team
today was declared by its hackers to
be the best In the state.
For 80 minutes, during the entire
first half yesterday afternoon the
Trojans fought Oregon to stand
still. Neither side was able to gain
consistently. and neither goal was in
danger at any time.
But In the second half Oregon
woke up. The superior weight OF
Coach Bezdek's huskies began to tell.
They battered the southern line un-
mercifully, and the game became an
Oregon parade. Mixing terrific line
attacks with beautiful. long. forward
passes, the Oregon machine piled up
S4 points while U. S. c., battered and
exhausted, struggled gamely to the
last.
Northern football emphatically
has demonstrated its superiority over
the southern variety. 0regon's
adeptness at handling long, bullet
like forward passes was the surprise
Of the game. These beat U, s. C.,
and the southerners were "hoist with
their own petard," The U. s. c. for
ward passes, when not smeared, were
good only for small yardage. a

OF DEMOCRACY

Washington, Nov. 9.--Increased,
open opposition to the administra-

Principle. and not personalities,
however. viii be emphasized. Kitchin
win not be disciplined" for his open
stand against the naval program, It
is understood. Nor VIII the powers
above him attempt coercion to swing
him into line. Therefore. the admin
istratIon is not disposed to favor q
caucus on the preparedness issue.
While perhaps such d method win
be necessary later TO gather enough
OF votes the administration prefers
'to have the passage OF the bills q
non-partisan, rather than a party
plan. such as 1t would become under
the caucus system.
Moreover. there is fear that eau
Gus would result Id a party split
a thing THAT the democrats on the
eve of presidential year and with q
decreased majority in the house, de-
sire to avoid.
Considerable speculation was
heard today over whether Bryan, al
a former Congressman, will utilize
his house floor privilege to go among
members as an active lobbyist against
the preparedness program. The bes'
informed democrats thought, how
ever. that he will confine himself t.
publicity and to his personal infiu
ence among individual congressman

BRYAN MAY LEAD

10 In opposing President Wilson'S
military preparedness program is giv-
ing democratic leaders concern.
They believe, however. that In
showdown between the two men the
nation would give Its support. gener-
ally. to the chief executive.
Yet these leaders do not UNDER
estimate Bryan's great influence In
event that an open split between him
and the man he made president
should endanger the success OF the
democratic party.
"There are only two men In the
United States who have really large
personal followings," said u demo-
crat high in the councils of the party
today. "One Is Roosevelt, and the
other Is Bryan. II Is too early to say
wnetner bryan lntends 10 use the
support he commands In an out and
out fight against the administration,
But the president has issued his pro-
gram, and he will have to 80 through
with II or admit defeat"
Leaders believe the republicans
will not attack the presidents pro-
gram, as they believe the country
favors a large navy and army in
crease,
AT the same time, II is expected
that q certain republican element
will make harassing attacks on de-
tails OF the program while protesting
to advocate better preparedness.
