WITH RED CROSS
URGED BY HERBERT c. HOOVER

triotic and relief societies in the for
warding OF all soldiers comforts and
hospital supplies.
Means OF Eliminating Waste.
As a means of eliminating the waste
described by Mr.. Hoover agents of
the Red Cross supply service are to be
stationed in every military training
men will supervise the distribution of
supplies arriving from Red Cross de-
pots. Calls for hospital supplies made
by chapters and organizations amliat-
ed with the Red Cross as far as posi-
BILE will be filled as orders at factory
are filled.
Mr.. Hoover's letter outlining the
necessitay for such work as the supply
service will dc is in part as follows:
"As the result Of the past two and a
half years experience Of war, all
European countries now know the
vital necessity for a total centraliza-
ton under the Red Cross executive of
the whole of the volunteer civilian eff
fort connected with the comfort OF
those in the service Of the army and
navy.
Struggle to Get on Effective Basis.
There was a long struggle on the
part of the military and Red Cross Of
icials to get those matters on to a
systematic and effective basis.
"In the end they have come to one
form of organization in every country
in Europe, by which the Red Cross ex-
ecutive centraliZes executive control
of all such activities and decentralizes
its various phases into local chapters.
and these again are divided into divi-
ct 1T ~
surgical and medical supplies, of nurses.
of base and convalescent hospitals, the
creation, collection, transportation,
Standardization and redistribution. etc.
of all sorts of supplies.
"The grouping of these various divi-
sions must be varied with national ne
cessity. depending upon geographic
and transportation questions. Tho work
of the women. which is very large
factor in Red Cross work. must be
co-ordinated through the central agency
and representation Of the women in
that central agency has proved the
only effective method of securing this.
Cooperate With Red Cross.
1.-The already established women's or
CARNATIONS of verious kinds can find
their best purpose in instructing their
local bodies t. place themselves en-
tirely at the DISPOSAL of the local chap
tiers of the Red Cross.
TN general, the one fundamental fac
tor in war organization generally is
Capitalization of executive, and such
Capitalization cannot be effected If
there are a lot of national semi-inde-
pendent boards or organizations oper-
ating outside or partially outside of
the direct control of the Red Cross ex-
ecutive.
I'm any event, the general principle
must be that the Red Cross itself is the
| centralizing executive operating by
| intense decentralization of it's produc-
tive and distributing functions. and
| this has been arrived at as the only
possible solution after an enormous lot
of pain, turmoil and waste"

.. S. WOODEN SHIPS too
LATE TO SAVE ENGLAND
So German Secretary Of the Interior
Tells Commute Of the
Reichstag.

BY the Associated Press.
AMSTERDAM. April %. via London.
April 30.-In the first two months Of un-
restricted submarine warfare shipping to
the amount OF more than 1900. 900 tons
was sunk by the Germans. DR.. Karl Helf-
ferich. German secretary Of the interior,
told the reichstag main committee yes
terday. Asserting that the submarine
campaign was proving great success. he
continued:
1.-The first months results excelled the
best previous results by 25 per cent. the
second months by so per cent. Exact
figures cannot be given. but in the first
two months the freight tonnage sunk ex-
ceeded 100000. of which more than
100000 was British.
Too Much for England.
From our figures one may estimate the
total tonnage still available for British
trade at 100000 to 10. 900 600. 1t is clear
bear sinkings at the present rate. AIDE
quate substitutions by new construction
are impossible, as the British increase in
ships in 1915, notwithstanding every eff
fort, was not sufficient even to replace
the normal diminution of peace time.
1.-THE wooden ships which the United
States intends to build to save Great
Britain will. in all probability. only
come into use when they have nothing
more to save. Great Britain's
attempt to alleviate her difficulties by
drastic restrictions in importations of
the less essential commodities is
doomed to failure because. of her total
imports in 1916 of 100000 tons. 81
100000 tons consisted of foodstuffs
luxuries. wood and iron. and among the
rest were many things Indispensable in
war times"
Germany Short, But Secure.
DR.. Helfferich then concluded:
I'VE in Germany have been kept short
but we stand secure. The war of star
walton is turned against its originators
The American apostles of humanity
who are trying to drive our neutral
neighbors to war against US with
threats of death will not turn the scales
of fate.
"If we remain true to ourselves. keer
calm, maintain our nerve and keep ouI
own house in order by maintaining
internal unity. we have won the war
In these decisive weeks the German
people has to prove that it is worthy
to exist"

MUNICIPAL FACTS


 Within the last few days there have been great many questions asked relative to city affairs and we, the undersigned, in giving the follow ing facts, (which can all be verified) desire to put before the people some information, which we feel they ought to know.
 1st-The present council construct ed a garbage dump, at a cost of $3,36318, which has been needed for years and has proved itself a sue cess.
 2nd-They have put in a salt wa ter fire fighting system. which will be completed as soon as the ground thaws sufficiently, and for this pay $6,2S5 65, the remaining half to come from the Alaska Juneau Mining Co. tax until paid for.
 3rd-Have purchased a LaFrance fire engine and hose truck, at a cost of $G.750.00 Engine will be delivered about May first.
 4th.-Have purchased $768.00 worth of piling for a fishermans float and have the piling on the ground. and the contract for driving let to Mir. Webster, who will start work with. in a few days.
 5th.-Streets. sidewalks, and such work have required an expenditure of about $26,65489.
 The hold-over councilmen are i'll favor of maintaining the library, and much better quarters than those en- joyed, at present, are available in the upstairs of the city hall, as soon can be accomplished and still have sufficient room for tho fire depart ment.
 The present council have made some mistakes. so also will the next and has there been council in the past who have not?
 The present hold-over councilmen have gone on record as being op posed to buying the water works at $100,O00.0O.
 MT. Ericson, candidate for Mayor has openly declared against the wa ter works at $100,O0000.
 Mir. Robertson, candidate for May or, few weeks ago. before the city council, and citizens assembled declared himself in favor of buying the water works at $100,000.00
 MT. Valentine, a candidate for May or, few weeks ago, also declared in favor of paying $1OO,0OO.O0 for the water works
 The last council turned over to the present council $2,331.S5 when we took hold of affairs. We will turn over to the incoming council be- tween seven and eight thousand dol lars, with no outstanding bills.
 Remember, our fire engine is paid for, or the money set aside and not counted in monies on hand, so also are all other improvements men toned.
 However there will be no money coming in to the treasury until July first, and our revenue for the coming year, will be very materially re- duced. We three hold-over council men will have to serve the people with whoever is elected and are sup posed to be governed by whom you elect, as to what you want done. IT IS UP TO YOU, MIR. TAXPAYER.

PROHIBITION IS
 ONLY A STARTER
 IN NEW MORALS
Mrs. Hatcher in Lecture Says Women Must Now Enforce High Moral
 Conditions.

Mrs Cornelia Templeton Hatcher | of the Alaska "bone-dry" law, at the recent short session of the national Congress is largely responsible, de 1 livered a most interesting illustrated lecture on the High Cost of Low Living" in the Juneau Methodist church last evening" The auditor ium was crowded.
 Mrs. Hatcher prefaced her illus trated talk with short history of the Alaska prohibition bill. Alaska 1 is the largest single unit of Terri tory in the world that ever voted dry is the way Mrs. Hatcher voiced her appreciation of the splendid vic tory for prohibition which has been won largely through the efforts of a i few campaign workers of the ". c. IT. U. This work, as Mrs. Hatcher stated, was done entirely without a campaign fund.
 Mrs. Hatcher also told briefly of the opposition with which she met when she suggested Territorial con trol of the schools and had on dis play two pens with which President Wilson signed his name to the bill which gives Alaska control of her schools for the first time. One of these pens Mrs. Hatcher said she would keep in her own family, the other she delivered to Governor Strong for the Alaska Historical Museum.
 The lecturer displayed pictures showing the evil effects of alcohol, featuring her talk with interesting opinions and amusing anecdotes.
 "The work of the W. c. T. U. is not finished in the Territory, but has just begun" Mrs Hatcher stat ed in the course of her talk "The removal of the saloons is only the re- moval of great stumbling block. The mission of the w. c. T. U. is to educate women and to help them in the enforcement of higher moral conditions"
 Following the lecture, many of the large audience present renewed ac- quaintance with the speaker and held the pen with which President Will son had signed the Alaska school bill, which Mrs Hatcher termed President Wilson's valentine to Alas ka' since it was signed on February 14th
 Mrs. Hatcher will talk in Douglas Wednesday afternoon before the Douglas w. c. T. U. and in Juneau, Thursday afternoon before the Ju- neau order.

MILITARY MEN TO
 MEET TONIGHT FOR
 ORGANIZATION WORK

Tonight, those interested in form ing a military organization by which drilling and the manual of arms and general discipline will be the instruc- tions, will meet at the city hall This is practically an adjourned meeting of the one held last Friday night.
 The following telegram which was received by Governor Strong recent ly from Franklin K. Lane is self explanatory and will be read tonight at the meeting:
 Hon. J. F. A. Strong,
 Governor of Alaska, Juneau, Alaska
 No military organization can be recognized under the present status, except the army, navy, marines and national guard. The President and Congress have not as yet announced their policies with regard to volun- teers. My advice would be that you gather and train men as well as you can now. and before they are far advanced there doubtless will be the machinery created by which they can be brought into some formal ser vice.

NOTICE

It is claimed that in this Di- vision there is no great de- mand among the workmen for the passage of a law allowing them the freedom of choice of doctors and hospitals when they are sick or injured, and that they are opposed to any legisla- tion that will prevent the em- ployer naming the doctor and hospital for which the work men themselves have to pay.
 I have good reasons for be- lieving otherwise, but l have no desire to try to force the enactment of an unwelcome law and if this one is not wanted l will be pleased to know it. So now publicly invite every em- ployee or other person who is interested and is OPPOSED to the present system to let me know about it, either in person or by letter, with the positive assurance that your identity will be held in the strictest conf dence. Remember, I cannot help you if you are unwilling to help yoursef.
