DENTISTS OFFER no PULL

CHICAGO, Aug. 18.-The regula-
lions requiring that drafted men have
four upper and four lower molars
made work for Federal Investigator
Hinton G. Clabaugh and his assist
ants today.
They we're running down reports
that dentists were offering to pull
enough teeth to insure the patients
escape from army service.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Federal
and police officers today began an in
vestigation of charges that many for
eign-born citizens, summoned for
physical examination and the draft
are attempting to bride physicians to
report them unfit for war service.
Several men summoned in one ex-
emption district, where the foreign
elements predominates, are said to
have offered large sums of money to
examining physicians. They will be
arrested If the reports are found to
be true.

when has the uniform ever inspired
contempt in the breast of loyal
American. There are agitators and
aliens who have no respect for the
uniform, but they would has respect
for no uniform. The uniform has al
ways been held in the highest res
pect by any person worthy OF the
nameof citizen. It Is the people OF the
calibre of this Seattle editor who
think of the uniform with anything
but respect, the near anarchist, the
fault-finding, carping, unpatriotic
class who insult the flag of the SOL
der wearing the uniform.
Such talk at this time goes far to-
ward hindering the young men of the
nation from voluntarily wearing his
country's livery; and it comes with
poor grace from men who are grow
ing rich out of the contracts the war
has brought to the Puget Sound city.
Anything which tends to lower the
present high standard of the Ameri-
can soldier should be suppressed, and
the great trouble is that such utter
ances by irresponsible papers cause
a greater burden to fall upon those
papers which uphold the government.
If it were not for these scurrilous
sheets there would be no need of gov
eminent censorship.
Why should the steamship en-
ployes and the town of Cordova con-
tinually hammer away at Valdez?
Persons travelling between this port
and Seattle have stated many times
that they are told by steamship men
and citizens of Cordova that there is
nothing at Valdez, that it Is impos-
sible to get thru from here to the
interior on the trail, that the town
is dead, etc. 1t looks to an dnprejud-
iced observer that the steamship conf
panies would take pains to play fair
with the towns in the territory and
that Cordova would be the last town
in Alaska to point to the disadvan-
tages of a sister town. A person cali
take an auto here and get to Willow
Creek before the boat can get from
here to Cordova, and the court house
records show that Valdez is paying
taxes on a larger amount Of business
than any other town in this division,
including Anchorage. If the town is
dead, it is a lively corpse, as its pay
rolls reach into the hundreds OF
thousands of dollars, and it's cannery
has made the largest pack of fish OF
any in the north considering its size.
We do not blame our sister town for
being jealous to the point of untruth-
fulness, as her citizens are confined
to narrow limitations of environment
until they become pessimistic and
narrow in turn, but it would be bet
ter for us if the steamers would al
low us to fight our own battles with
out outside interference.

which borders upon the anarchist

purporting to tell President Wilson
howto treat enlisted men. The article
in question stated that:
1.-The American soldier must be
raised to the point where his uniform
commands respect instead of con-

This should be news to the major

Half Million OF Enlowrnen'
Fund Gaes Into Liberty
Bond;

Following the decision of the
Board of Trustees of the Endowment
Fund of the American Red Cross to
invest one-half million dollars of the
availa bic cash in the permanent En-
dowment Fund in Liberty Bonds,
due application for that amount has
been made. Eliot Wadsworth, Trea-
surer OF the Red Cross Endowment
Fund and Vice Chairman of the ex-
ecutiye Committee, said in letter
to John Poole Of the Liberty Loan
Committee, Washington, D. c.:
"Consultation with the Board of
Trustees of the Endowment Fund of
the American Red Cross resulted in
united approval of the suggestion
that available cash in the fund be in
vested in the Liberty Loan, and l
herewith make formal application
on this account for 100000 in
bonds. This fund comes from many
thousand Americans whose patrio-
tism, sympathy and will to serve
have led them to become Life or Pa
tron members of the Red Cross. Its
investment in the Liberty Loan is
not only in harmony with their SPLEEN
did impulses but fulfills every re-
quirement of soundness upon us as
trustees"
Discussing the practical advanta-
ges of this investment, Mr.. Wads-
worth made this statement:
1T is important to understand
that moneys to be put into Liberty
Bonds do not come from the Red
Cross War Fund. They come from
the Endowment Fund, derived from
membership dues of Life and Pa
tron members, which have increased
greatly since the outbreak of the
war.
LAS means Of promoting the eff
ficiency of the Red Cross and hav-
ing it measurably prepared for war
or disaster, an endowment fund
was created, to give the Red Cross a
permanent source of support.
"The endowment fund provides
an income which defrays in part the
expenses of continuous education
al campaign in first aid and nursing
work; keeps up a reserve organiza-
ton of high grade, trained nurses;
helps meet numerous minor relief
appeals, and makes it possible for
the Directors General of Military
and Civilian Relief and their assist
ants to keep the organization for
relief work in war or disasters ready
for instantaneous action"

LONDON, oct SO.-London' bomb
proof shelters are being card-fndeXed
in preparation for further German
raids. Sufficient tunnels, arches.
crypts, easements and substantial
buildings have been inventoried to ac-

it at the disposal of the public.

ticlpation of the recurrence of Ger
