EAGLE BALL
 B|C SUCCESS

It Is a recognized fact that among organizations, the local aerie oI Eagles ranks among the highest in the matter of entertaining. How ever, they fairly outdid themselves at their annual Thanksgiving ball, held last Wednesday evening, for. except in point of the number of people attending, the dance was one of the greatest successes of years in Fairbanks.
 The Thanksgiving bail is the opening event of the winter social season in Fairbanks, and as such is a very elaborate affair. It always includes a turkey dinner, in accord ance with the custom which pre- vails in all parts of the United States, and the occasion last We'd nesday evening was no exception In fact, it is stated that the dinner partaken of at the dance was the best ever spread by the Eagles A tasty punch served to complete the refreshment part of the pro- gram.
 The decorations were another flea, ture of the occasion. They were i'm ported from the Outside and were arranged under the direction of Lawrence Tnimme, who is a past master in the art. The color scheme of purple and white was heighten- ed by multi-colored electric lights tastefully arranged, large star of lights being in each corner of the spacious dancing hall.
 The dance lasted until about o'clock in the morning. There were about 125 couples of dancers in attendance. The music was fur nished by four-piece orchestra, composed of Victor Durand, Victor Mente, William Gorbracht and Tom my King

They then went to Daw- son and later came to Fairbanks. where they have since resided and where Mrs. Rappolt endeared herself to all who made her acquaintance,
 Mrs. Rappolt died shortly after II o'clock last Tuesday night, of complication of troubles with which she had been patient sufferer for a long time, although she had haan hut few days in the hOSnita al at the time of her death. She leaves her husband to mourn her death. It Is stated that she also leaves three brothers and a sister.

Mr.. Lloyd George has two sons in
the instruction camps, soon to 20 to
the front. A. Bonar Law, recently
leader of the opposition and now in
the coalition cabinet, has two sons
in the army.
Il is worth while to bear in mind
that the workingmen In the muni-
tions factories are not bearing all
the burdens of the war. Nobody
works so hard as the. men at the
heads Of affairs, who, in all the
fighting countries, are already de-
scribed as rapidly wearing them
selves out. The aristocracies and
the wealthy classes in all the coun-
tries have sent their best young
blood to the fighting line, and sac
rifced it. with a noble lavishness.
After all, the skilled workingman in
England has today about the best
chance that anybody enjoys of get
ting through the thing with whole
skin; he is more needed in the fac
tories than in the trenches, and all
that is asked Of him Is that he will
do his duty as unsparingly as the
men who are going under fire every
other day in the field.

and makes doubly hard the burdens
that have been thrust upon him.
And these burdens are heavier,
vastly heavier and more trying for
Count Bernstorff than they would be
for a man of coarser fiber. Count
Bernstorff is q man Of rare refine
ment, man Of culture, Of social
attainments, and inherently and by
training is gentle mana gentle
man. -
1t is fitting, therefore, that the

America speak and think of Count
Bernstorff with kindly feeling and
with sympathetic appreciation of the
burdens he is carrying.

BURDENS OF THE RULERS

What the war means to all classes
of the people in Europe is suggested
by the experiences of some of the
families of rulers. The German aris-
tocracy has been decimated to a de-
gree so fearful that it has been
seriously suggested that another
year of the conflict would well-nigh
exterminate that class. In France
one member of the government, Pre-
mier Viviani, has had a son killed
in battle, while another, M. Del
casse, has a son in a German prison
camp, and wounded.
In England, Premier Asquith has
four sons in the service, one of
whom has been sent home wounded.

AMBASSADOR BRRNsTORFF

Count Bernstorff's position as the
German ambassador to America is
as trying as anything within the
scope of fancy.
His responsibilities as the chief
representative of his government in
America, with well-nigh all Europe
In the death struggle with his coun-
try, and with the overwhelming pre-
ponderance of American sentiment
for the allies and against Germany,
must be little short of crushing.
His position calls for supreme
patience and supreme courage.
Every move, every look, every act,
every utterance must come within
the confines of finest diplomacy.
The open skies of heaven circulate
no free air for Count Bernstorff.
Every breath must be guarded or he
will be misunderstood and misrep-
resented.
With a heart bleeding for those of
his family wounded and slain in
battle, and for the many hundreds
Of thousands of his countrymen
wounded and slain in battle, and
with realization that any false
move here on his part in utterance
or act might instantly result in a
break between Germany and Amer
lea, or that, apart from any error
OF his own, the break might come
from causes beyond his control
with all these facts and thoughts
and feelings surging through his
soul, his must be the most irving
position in America-more trying in
many respects than that Of our
President, and that is measureless.
Obviously the responsibilities of
Mr.. Wilson reach a thousand times
further, but he is at home and with
his own people, and has all true
Americans back of him to a man, in
this war situation.
But with Count Bernstorff it is
as different as it possibly could be.
He is in foreign nation and among
q people who, in large proportion,
have come to feel, since the sinking
Of the Lusitania, very bitter toward
the German government because of
its barbaric and ruthless methods of
warfare.
And all this complicates the situa-

FRANK HEARS CRIES
URGING HIS DEATH

ATLANTA, June 6.-Resolutions pro-
testing against the communication Of
the death sentence imposed on Leo M.
Frank for the murder Of Mary Phagan
were adopted at q mass meeting on
the grounds Of the Georgia State Cap
itol. The resolutions also denounced
outside influences" for what 10 term
ed an attempt to break down trial by
jury in George and to make a '1oke Of
Georgia courts and Justice"
The meeting had been we'll advertis-
ed and there were more than 1000
persons present.
Governor Slaton had the militia COM
panies in the city under arms at the
armory. but there was no need for
troops. The meeting was orderly.
The Rev. A. c. Hendley. pastor OF an
Atlanta Baptist church, was the only
speaker. DR.. Hendley knew Mary Pha-.
gan and he has taken deep interest
in the case.
Hendley. in his address, charged that
outside influences" are attempting to
dictate to Georgians how they shall
administer justice. and urged that the
attempt be rebuked.
Work of Outsiders.
Georgia cannot afford" said Hend-
ley. ito allow outsiders to tell her
that she must not carry out the SEN
tences imposed by her courts. Leo M.
Frank was fairly tried and convicted.
and the United States Supreme Court
the highest tribunal in the land
has affirmed the findings OF the
Georgia courts.
IF Frank is allowed to escape We
might as we'll abolish trial by jury IN
Georgia To commute Franks sem
tence would be an invitation to mob
law"
Hendley also attacked certain At
lanta ministers who have asked Glenn
ency for Frank.
The minister's address was loudly
sheered and the applause was heard by
Frank in his cell in the Jail, which Is
only short block from the capitol.
The meeting was the first of series
OF anti-Frank meetings to be held IN
every county in the State.
