Cans and Gowns for CLASSIFY a
unanimous vote the senior class of the
! Davenport high school decided to wear
the cap and gown at their commence
ment exercises this June. This class.
which will be the largest ever grad
uated from the local school, will be
the first to wear the cap and gown in
the history of the institution. Principal
Marshall, when asked if he was in
favor of the idea, said: Il have no
choice in the matter whatever. II is
entirely private affair of the class,
and it is absolutely their privilege to
wear whatever they please. The ap-
pearance of the class in cap and gown
makes an impressive sight. However,
| think that the talk of over dressing
at commencement exercises is some
/ what exaggerated, for l have seen
very little elaborate dressing on prev
ious like occasions" Mr. Marshall fur
Their stated that the classes graduating
after this June will not be compelled
to follow the example this years class
set, but will be given the privilege to
vote on the affair.
SquatteryiIIe to Be Condemned
Notices to quit have been served on
all the tenants of the city and the d..
r. |. {, n. W. railway on City, Maple
and Willow islands and along the rail
road right of way. There were 81 not
ices served by the Levee improvement
commission on its tenants and IS not
ices to quit on tenants of railroad
property. The "squatters" have been
notified to vacate their present homes
by April 20. AS all of the notices have
now been served every one OF the
"squatters" has more than a mIlth's
notice, the amount of time required
by law. So far as Is known by the
Levee commission none of the squat
tiers" has retained legal counsel and
none Of them will make fight against
moving TO new homes. There will be
no Cap" Streeter and no trouble in
cleaning up the district the commits
sion believes. The city authorities
have been told that the islands have
become the resort of bootlegging
Joints and worse and it is regarded as
high time that the entire district be
cleaned up. The presence Of the
"sauatters" was considered a menace
to the reclamation Of the river front
and the comprehensive plans for levec
improvement to bring city beauti-
full"
No decision at C0nference-D aven-
port architects met in the office OF the
mayor in the city hall with building
commissioner Ralph c. Graham, in an
attempt to get lower insurance rates
for Davenport The discussion OF ways
and means was protracted practically
all day, but no decision has been ar
rived at thus far, Mr. Graham an
nounced that 1t would take az least
three days to decide anything definite

 The appearance of Ignace Paderewsh at the Audi torium Sunday afternoon was Q notable event.
 For the great musician stood out the master of new field It not the goldenhaired pianist of the epoch which ended in August 1914 It vas not merely the exhuberent artist the of incomparabe music whose very personality filled the theatre, whose thetlc emotions overpowered and charmed his company Paderevsd was all of that on Sunday but he reached heights more alt.tudnous and inspiring.
 The orator. the patriot tho who loved his coun try above oil things dominated the artist The exhu beance of personality there, the prodigality of feeling the richness emotional life which long ago brought preeminence to th.s Polish musician. But his great gifts sought fresh expression At moment the audience aware of performer for the utter of whose spirit the plane seemed inadequate thing Upon occasion the audience wished for some greater instrument filter for the interpretation of mood so potent Again he the musician Of surpass Ing unfolding exQuistely the poetry Of Chopin mazurka.
 Then music was forgotten. The poet and the ma geian lost in the patriot Polands historic suf ,erngs, her mistakes her trumpbs her present exrem self In music The orator embodied his corntrys plea; he its plea it's message the outer world. Four thousand people felt before the dignity of the artist. because through him they came into kinship with great race they became aware of the terrible urgenc,es of an entire people
 Paderewsk. the greatest pianist of his time, has thus brought about new majesty to his art He has shown that at tho ultimate art means an endowment and an equipment transcendng the pettness which too short while ago prated of "art for arts sake Plan ist orator and patriot. n Paeerewsh nobler art has become the means of serving majestic race. of ex pressing the soul of millions of people

 Have you any Idea of the extent of the Alaskan coast line7 The shores Of the Territory are washed by three great oceans These are the Arctic the north, Boring Sea on the west and the Pacific on the south The Aleutian Islands, off the Alaska Peninsula are separated from each other and the main and by network of rocky straits, and much of south and southeastern Alaska is made up of noun aneous islands that have rocks of all shapes and szes The islands really the tops of mountains half lost in the waters. They rise In spires and cathedrals some of which thousands of feet above the water and others hidden beneath it, lying there concealed and ready to rip open the hulls of ships the iceberg ripped the Titanic.
 The extent of the Alaska coast, its windings, passes that of the United States proper It Is greater than that Of all states the Pacific from Puget Sound to tho boundary of Mexico added to that of our states on the Atlantic, including the Gulf All told, t is more than 26OOO miles long, or longer than the dis tance around tho world at the equator, and, in prcpor ton It's length. 1t has perhaps more dangers than any other coast lines on earth.
 Nevertheless not onehalf of 1t has yet been sound ed by the survey vessels and more than half of the general coast line Is not marked by lights or by any ads to navigation

NOME, ALASKA, JULY l, 1916

With the release of the American troops captured in the recent clash be- low the border war is happily averted for the time being and it is, therefore, To be hoped that further trouble may still be averted. The nation has been perilously close 10 confiict-too close for one to fail in acquiring in some sort an idea of just what war would mean. When one sees the grim reality ioom- ing just before ones eyes, one can then appreciate it's grisly aspects and realize their awfuness. Many of us have seen and will doubtless not deny the posses sion of hope that circumstances or conditions will not again bring us to the verge of conflict Not that most of us do not feel that Mexico deserves good thrashng by way of punishment for the numerous insults and outrages of which we have been the victims Whatever may be said in favor of the Mexicans. none will deny that they have
 
 and richly deserve a hiding. On the other hand, war is terrible thing, re- gardlcss of whether one is conquered or conqueror How appallingly terrible it may be only those who have wit messed it furies can tell. Those who have gazed upon it's horrors with a full perception of the reality speak of it in solemn tones and subdued voices. The un- needing and minimizing alone refer to il with lightness Only those who has faced the grim god of war stalking over shot ploughed battlefelds. who has looked upon it's writhing. mutilated vic tims, seen the blood. the wounds. the heaps of dead, and ghastly awfulness can realize what il means and one and all agree that no thoughts can picture no words describe. what fearful thing il is. Ana these, remember have known only portion of it's dreadful features Their knowledge is of the wounded. the maimed and dying, the mseries of camp and march, the havoc and destruction of shot and shell. They reek not of the added pain and woes and want and mis- cry that lies behind the visible horrors of the battlefield. They do not remem- Der that wars awfulness does not end on the battlefield The pain and misery are not confined 10 the shot swept fields where crashing missile and rendng bomb do their deadly work. Far beyond the point where the plunging shot can strike IT the roar of guns be heard. wars horrors are inflicted The shot that tears away human life upon the battlefield often causes more woe and pain than comes to him who perishes from its shock
