RSE.CHESTNuT IN WAR.

.Londen.-The British school boys
horse-chestnut harvest is one of the
amazing war activities fthis autumn
Some time ago, an appeal was issued
TO the school boys. stating that the
government could use unlimited guam
titles of horse chestnnts and ecorns in
the manufacture of munitions. The
quantities that have been turned in
have exceeded all expectations. and
the harvest is only about half in, One
small London school has collected
1000 pounds. A record is kept Of the
number Of nuts collected by each boy,
and the best record so far is 21.175-
One school room Of 20 boys has gath
cred 115,70O.
Generally the school room IS used
for collecting and drying the nuts
which must be brown-ripe, dry and
free from husk. If allowed TO heat
while in storage. the nuts are useless
for the purpose required They are
| therefore not kept in sacks, but spread
out on dry floor space not more thar
a foot thick and turned over occas-
| ionally with fork or shovel.
| Farmers who have lage quantities Of
/ acorns find them a profitable crop this
year. as the government pays SIS tor
for them on the spot.

thoven and Wagner. It only needs to be relieved from the incubus of Hoh- enzol,ern tyranny to become an in- fnitely greater people than ever it's poets, prophets or seers have dreamed.
 With the Hohenzollern dominating it's destinies with mediaeyial despot- ism, it will not have true friend in the world. A truly democratic Ger many will, despite all present bitter ness be cordially welcomed into the full fellowship of the commonwealth of nations.
 The continuance of despotism is Q menace to democracy ana civilization. As the cry rang through Europe In 1S14 Enough of Bonaparte" so now let the cry now sound through civil ization with reference 10 the Hohen- zollern dynasty-"Eerazez linfame."

OUR PRESIDENT-oNE FLAGl

James M. Beck in New York Times.
 A group of minded, hair splitting, half baked Americans in the United States senate, German apolo- gists on the one side and craven weak ings of the pacificist school in the other, succeeded in the closing hours of congress m talking to death the administration measure empower ing the president to establish armed neutrality on the sens and otherwise safeguard and uphold American rights.
 Well may an outraged country hang it's head in shame for this wretched reprehensible performance and let loose it's wrath at the odious exhibi- ton of national perfidity and dishon- or in high quarter.
 To thls commonwealth's disgrace, Wesley l.. Jones aligned himself with the obstructionists ami lifted an un- llIue-S NolCe III SAtSHhdbiCit oh psti barrie acts of warfare It IS hls indi- vidual privilege to make common cause with poltroons, if he must. but this state, bearing Iha le:tiest Amer ican name, disowrs hlm in that rclc and dlsavows the sorry part he pley- ed.
 Whether Woodrow Wilson required the power and credit he asked, is beside the question. l. was enorsI that he asked it. Immediately it be- came the plain, patriotic duty to grant what he asked 10 the full and ill manner that would forcibly and without the shadow of a doubt im- press upon the world the perfect unity of this nation. Anything short of ready and responsive compliance with the executives request meant fa,hng short of national duty in this emer- gency. Whether the president re- quired, or did not require, the addi- tional powers called for, he needed for the country's sake, an expression of congressional confidence which such an enactment would unmista- kably give.
The Nome daily nugget., 1917-05-03

As it is, nonaction proclaims to the world, though wrongly, a congress, if not country, divided against itself, withholding authority from the presi- dent and unwilling to meet eventual ities impending! And al, because of a motley contingent of mollycoddles and malcontents made potent for mis- chief by a palseying system of un- limited debate In the United States senate.
 Once upon time a drunken sena- tor, obstructlng legislation by holding the floor to air his grievances as the hour of final adjournment approached, was forcibly seized by the sergeant at-arms and removed to the cloak room, upon autocratic order of the presiding officer, and the appropria- ton thus saved. Stern treatment of like kind administered to the hyphen- ate fearing Stone and his measly fol- lowers would have spared the blot now put upon the nation.
 The -1ntelligencer has believed that congress should be kept in con- tinuous session. With the possibility of war fast developing into proba- blity or certainty, it seemed the part of national wisdom. But the specta- clcep resented at Washington these past few disgraceful days has greatly modified that view. The less congress is in evidence, if hts Americanism is to be besmirched by unpatriotic out bursts and it's duties obstructed by loud and uncomfortable majority, the better for the country and the safer the guidance of the ship of state.
 What the nation is demanding is an affirmative foreign policy, vigor- ously enforced in the protection of American rights. The country is be- hind the president and prepared to give him it's support to the last dol- lar and the last man in resisting ag- gression on sea or land. It would have him add 10 his vested powers any powers that may be necessary to command respect for American lives and the American flag. The time for strict accountability is at hand and permits no wavering or hesitation.

FAIR EXCHANGE
A New Back for an Old One.


 The back aches at times with dull, indescribabls feeling, making you weary and restless; piercing pains shoot across the region of the kid- neys, and again the loins are so lame that to stoop is agony. No use to rub or apply a plaster to the back if the kidneys are weak. You cannot reach the cause. Alaskans residents would do well to profit by the follow ing example:
 Mrs. II. I. Davis, 296 Weidler St, Protland, ore..s avs: For years I had a great deal of trouble with my back and kidneys. Sharp pains would catch me and 1t seemed as if my back was giving out on me. My kidneys acted too frequently, causing much annoy ance. Doan's Kidney Pills rid me of the pains. My back got strong and well and my kidneys became normal. I have had no severe attacks of that kind since."
 Price, soc, at all dealers. Don't sim ply ask for a kidney lremedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Davis had. Foster Milburn Co.,, Props. Buffalo. N. Y.

When the author was in London and Paris in the summer of 1916 al subject that was uPpermost in the minds of the entente publicists was whether thoes nations should not an nounce shat they would make no peace aIth the Hohenzollern dynasty. The proposed policy was not without em- barrassments growing out of dynastic considerations and the nature of their governments.
 The United States as the greatest republic of al time and from it's very beginning the foremost Interpreter of democratic institutions, can make this demand with better grace :han the entente powers. There would be a peace without victory if the house of Hohenzollern, which from the time of Frederick the Great has cursed all nations, Che most of all Germany and which added the rape of Belgium to that of Silesia, was permitted to continue it's ba,eful in fluence upon the world and the growth of democratic institutions. Neither the Lusitania nor Belgium crime will be fully atoned while the Hohenzol- Tern reman in power.
 The United States has no cause of quarrel with the German people. The mystic chords of memory" re- mind us that they are our friends, and their blood is so intermingled with our own that lasting enmity between these two peoples is or ought to be unthinkable. If they have sustained the kaiser and his war 1t is because they have been deluded by the base less fiction that their great nation was suddenly and treacherously at- tackled by England, France and Rus sia. They will at no distant day know the truth and "the truth sha, set them free"
 Germany's high qualities of cour. age. steadfastness, and infinite sacri. fee are worthy of all praise. Only { callous heart could fail to be touched by their present infinite suffering.
 I venture the prediction that nc nation will before this century ii ended profit more by the stupendou' sacrifices of this war than the lant of Goethe, Schiller and Bach, Bee.

clad i'll the light green foliage of the
season, never looked more beautiful
than this afternoon when the special
train which had brought the distin-
guished visitors, with their royal eS-
corts, from the north, drew into the
Union station. Everywhere bunting
flew in the light breeze, mainly the
American national colors The British
union jack and the French tri-colors
were in evidence in many places, but
the local flag makers had been unable
to meet the public demand for Them.
There were no other decorations
and even at the union station the only
touch of color was lent by the three
large hags-thc American, British
and French-which were hoisted on
the three great masts adjoining the
plaza. Nor was there any music to
greet the visitors, the original plan,
including the presence of the marine
bdld, having DeeH dIleHutu 10 COIL
form to the view expressed by Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing
that this was a grave and serious
event in American history and not to
he lightly treated or regarded as a
social and festive affair.
