GRIGSBY TALKS TO
 BIG VALDEZ AUDIENCE

VALDEZ, Sept. 29-The Grigsby meeting here last night was a big sue cess. The hall was packed to the ut most, Grigsby spoke two hours and was warmly applauded throughout the speech. The first half hour of the speech was devoted to answering Schofcld's charges. He completely
 quashed this charge in such a manner that it will undoubtedly act as a boomerang against SchoGcld. He made no personal attacks on either Of his opponents but proved Schofeld to be a hyphenated Alaskan He devoted very little time to Cobb who is not considered here as am important fact or in the race. 1t is generally conced- ed that Gugsby will have a majority over both his opponents combined in this division. In the latter part of the speech Mir. Grigsby devoted his time to a comparison of the respective merits of Suzcr and Wickersham and he proved that Wickcrsham is unfit for reelection by various congress- ional records demonstrating that he had aoppeG on every important Alas ka issue when forced by the press and popular opinion. The meeting was very enthusiastic and loudly applaud ed Sulzer's name every time it was mentioned. Present indications arc that Grigsby and Sulzer will carry this section by a good majority

The Nations Duty to Immigrants.

rom the Chlcago News.
Much has been said of late in condem-
nation of some American citizens of
foreign birth who have seemed to hold
a divided allegiance 1t is. of course,
true that every person who becomes a
citizen of the United States must re-
nounce all other allegiances, with no
reservations. The oath taken at that
zenship particularly to abjure al
legiance to the government under
which he formerly lived.
The duties in such cases, however, are
reciprocal. as President Wilson assert
ed in his address the other day before
the citizenship convention in Washing
ton. The foreign born resident of this
country who casts in his lot unreserv-
edly with the land of his adoption
surely deserves square deal. There
fore he is entitled to all the privileges.
without discrimination, which other
citizens enjoy. He should not be denied
opportunity for advancement either In
politics or industry because of his
origin. Once citizenship is attained, all
perpetuation of prejudices founded
upon differences of national origin Is
as vicious as the attempt to make
capital out of atfilation with partlc-
ular group of foreign-bo citizens.
The newcomer may be entitled to
more consideration in one way than
the native born, in the sense that spe-
cial provision should be made to enable
him to learn as quickly as possible the
duties and the benefits of American
citizenship. In the interest alike Of
the immigrant and of the nation the
process of assimilation should be as
sisted in every reasonable manner.

willing that they should suffer the ap-

bright as the sun. 1t Is 1874 times as

$4,000 times in surface, and 100000
times in volume. Its distance from us.
according to the same estimate, Is 4ss

that instead of being at this enormous
distance it were placed in the center
Of the solar system, in lieu of the sun.
1t would then occupy eighty-five hun
dredths of the space lying within the
orbit of Venus, and as seen from the
Garth. would subtend an angle of about
10 degrees of arc. Thus. when its
lower limb was on our horizon its
upper would be within 20 degrees of

Would Avoid Delay.

This equipment should be purchased
in time of peace and kept in store by
the government, as. if properly stored,
very few of the articles suffer much
deterioration. and if the purchase is
put off until time of war it is only with
great delay and difficulty that it can
be secured. To avoid this delay and
service many of the Red Cross chapters
in cities where base hospital units are
being organized have raised money to
purchase it.

Will Receive All Alike.

The base hospitals will receive regu-
lar. volunteer and National Guardsman
alike. and so every soldier whose duty
brings him within range of hostile bull
let's has reason to take keen personal
interest in the knowledge that in those
hospitals is being now enrolled the
most distinguished talent in the medi
cal profession in this country.
Each division of troops requires at
least one base hospital. 1t is equipped
to receive 500 patients. It's professional
staff consists of twenty-three ply
sicians and surgeons. two dental sur
geons. chaplain and fifty trained
nurses. To assist the latter are en-
rolled twenty-five volunteer nurses
aids. The enlisted personnel numbers
153. while authority is given for the
employment of about fifteen civilians.
The naval base hospitals. of which
several are now in course of organiza-
ton. are of about one-half the size of
the army hospitals. The medical equip
ment of one Of the army base hospitals
is estimated to cost about $25, 900. and

Condemns Without Hearing.

There are we'll known remedies and

tempted The government of the Unit
ed States cannot consent to see those

Of the world have accepted for the safe

the just and honorable principle that
neutrals may not be condemned nor
