Miss Bern hofer needs no Introduction to the music lovers of Skagway, for all remembers the beautiful voice of this young singer, for she sang to a delighted Skagway audience when she first made her appearance after q numba' of years hard study in German-', where after graduating from conservatory of music in Bellin she sang in grand opera. All who wish to hear a musical treat should attend, as this will probably be Miss Bernhofer's last appearance in the north. Miss Carolyn Bern horer shows promise Of being a great singer, but at present is turn ing her attention to the piano. Miss Carolyn graduated with tlrSt horOrs from the Academy of Music in New Westminster, B. C., where she did most creditable work. These two young ladies are deserving of the most liberal patronage and should have a full house. All who attend will find a treat in store for themselves. It has been said by eminent critics that Miss Mary P. Bernhofer ranks next to Tetrazin- nj as a coloratura soprano, not only are highest notes held and colored with ease, but her middle and lower notes are full of melody and sweetness.

Preparedness Not For, But Against

Not preparedness for war, but a pre-
paredness against war, was advocated by
Dr. John Grier Hibben, president of Prince
ton University, in recent address
DR.. Hibben takes issue with pacifcists
who want peace at any price, nor is he in
sympathy with the peace propaganda
which is being prosecuted in many of the
public schools of the country. He says:
ct do not advocate preparedness for
war, but preparedness against war = a
preparedness which in the event of the
catastrophe of war itself will prevent the
enormous initial sacrifice of human lives
which has characterized every war in
which the United States has been engaged
throughout our history
"No one can be so blind regarding the
significance of present conditions as to
take the position that grave national
emergency is not at least a possibility.
81 am not in sympathy with the peace
propaganda which is being prosecuted in
many of our schools, so far at least as it
endeavors to quicken the peace sentiment

is to men who are not performing this

available will Loyalty respond"

action against the Germans use of poison
GUS gases in the attack on the allied front
near Ypres.
The use Of these chemicals was charac-
terized as "diabolical'' by the British Sec
retary of war, speaking in the House Of
Lords. 'The government feels" he said
that our troops must be adequately pro-
tected by the employment of similar
methods SO as to remove the enormous and
unjustifiable advantage which must exist
for them if we take no steps to meet on his
own ground the enemy who is responsible
for the introduction of this pernicious

MUST HAVE LEADER

In the Barnes Roosevelt libel suit, now
progressing at Syracuse, New York, an in
teresting side light was thrown upon the
screen by Mr.. Barnes, while testifying, a
few days ago.
1t shows what men who do things think
Of the question Of leadership.
II told Mr.. Roosevelt, said Mr.. Barnes,
'that if we were to maintain in this
country system Of party government, or
ganization was necessary; that no move
ment could ever come to achievement un-
less it was organized
THE idea that the people can move
without order or policy is aburd upon it's
face They must have leaders or they do
not move at all, and no party movement
or any other movement can progress un-
less it is financed by people whose hearts
are in the work and who are willing to
give to the cause for which they stand.
II have said, as say now, that no party,
whatever it be-Republican, Democratic,
Progressive, Prohibitionist, Socialist,
Labor or Independent-can move forward
without proper control and guidance"
