MY Dear MIR. Ainslie. The Chill

been at work in a quiet way for
fourteen years, receiving and caring
for homeless and destitute children
of this Commonwealth. During that
time il has received as It's legal wards
over 1900 children whom it has fed.
clothed and cared for.
Last year 1T received 1S4 addition
al wards, the largest number In any
year since the society was organized.
OF this number $50 are now under
guardianship and supervision Of the
society. Tho average number in our
receiving home is about thirty chill
dren. Those In family homes under
supervision of the society are visited
regularly year after year and called
into the receiving home when not
satisfactory to the people; or !f in
any way neglected In their training
and care.
"All this care and supervision re-
qures no: only much thought, but
considerable money for food. cloth
ing. shoes and supervision.
Owing 10 the increased number
OF appeals, and the hard financial
times, and the high cost Of living ex-
penses, the society has incurred an
Indebtedness on current expenses OF
over $4,000 in caring for these chill
dren.
This is the first public appeal the
society has made in this way for as
sstance. We appreciate your kind
ness In giving us permission to have
Badge Day for the society on the
Goth day OF April.
The society is doing a pure char
ity work. receiving no State aid what

Most respectfully,
WILLIAM j. MAY BEE,

REPORTS WRECK AND LOSS or
 FIVE LIVES


 Reporting the wreck ol tbo gas schooner New Jersey an omcial statement was received at the local Customs office yesterday in which it is stated that the boat was total loss sometime after October l4. 1914 on which date she smiled from Nome under command or Captain John Cholok of Nome, with Q crew of four men whose names were O.

 The boat belonged to the Womnn's Home Mission Society of California, as represented by w F. Baldwin, ond was bound for Point Hope with a cargo Of general merchandise valued at S2250. The vessel herself waa rat- cd at s975. The craft was sighted off Prince of Wales on October l6, 1914, and since that date nothing has been heard of her.
 She was built at Ballard. Washing ton, in 1910 and was registered at Los Angeles. California under Che of iicial number of 207462. Her cargo at Che time of clearing rom Nome was listed at 6 tons.
 It is believed that the craft must have been frozen In off the Siberian coast and then crushed by tho moy- ing ice. w. P. Baldwin, who makes the report, states that the reason for the delay in sending the information to the local office has been due to tho fact that it was generally auppos- ed that the boat had drifted to the Siberian shore and that word would be received of her safety.

 "The Yukon is proving @ steady placer producer. and have hopes it will develop a number Of new camps. The Mayo silver property looks very promising.

 "The Tolovana has not developed enough yet to predict much as to its future. It win remain small camp.

ALASKANS SHOULD COMBAT PLAN TO
 TRADE OFF ALASKA

"The people ol Alaska, should take steps to combat tho plan of Con- gressmon Frank O. Smith. Of Nary land. to trade Southeastern Alaska to Canada for some concession from that country" said Judge Royal A. Gun nison in speaking of the propaganda along this line. lone who does not know would be surprised at the hold this scheme has gained among iniiu' ,ential people" continued Judge Gun nison.
 Judge Cpnnlson said that when be was at thu meeting of the commis- sion for uniform laws in the United IStates and the American Bar Asso- ciation he heard @ great deal Of talk among prominent lawyers and oth- CTS in favor of the Smith plan "to obviate the menace to peace' which Smith claims to be feature of the ! possession of narrow strip along the coast by the United States. which shuts off Canada from greatly need. ed seaport.
 "The conviction seems to obtain among Q great many Americans that Southeastern Alaska would be of much more use to Canada than it is to the United States" said Judge Gunnison. "and the activity of Rep Iresentative Smith and others in pro noting that idea cannot help but in- ! crease the number of those who agree with him unless something is done to offset their work"
 A peace society with its headQuar' ters in Philadelphia has been con stantly urging that the United states should surrender Southeastern Alas. la to Canada fin the interests of ! Deace.
