UNSUNG HEROES

POETS and dreamers deprecate the
fact that heroes died with the age OF
knighthood. They do not recognize
that courage never dies, and noble
deeds are as common in this pro-
sale age as in the medieval days of
chivalry and joust. Manus Dugan, the
young nipper in the Superior mine,
was an example of the courage of
the present generation. Without the
plaudits of the spectators to spur him
on to greater effort, he led his COM
panions to safety and plunged back
into the burning mine to rescue 9TH
ers That he went to a heroes death
was but a fitting end for such splen-
did heroism. To lay down ones life
for a friend is grand, but to give ones
life for a stranger takes a higher
moral courage and is a more heroic
deed. In time of battle. amid thun-
der of guns. and the bursting of shell,
with the blood at fever heat, it is
common for men to distinguish them
selves by some act of gallantry. But
the young Butte miner had none of
these things OF spur him on. One mo-
ment plying a drudging occupation
the next staggering beneath the shock
of the deadly gas explosion, it took
rare courage to rise to the occa-
sion at such a time. That he did so
was a matter of little moment-the
fact that after he had led his COM
panions to a place of safety thru a
hell of horrors, and knowing the dan

WEARING UNIFORM OR
EQUIPMENT UNLAWFUL

The attention of all concerned is
invited to the following extract from
an act of Congress making further
and more effectual provision for the
National Defense, and for other pur-
poses.
Sec. 1926: PROTECTION OF THE
UNIFORM: 1t shall be unlawful for
any person not an officer or an enlist
ed man of the United States Army,
Navy or Marine Corps to wear the
duly prescribed uniform of the Uni
ted States Army, Navy or Marine
Corps. or ANY DISTINCTIVE PART
OF SUCH UNIFORM, OR a UNI
FORM, ANY PART OF WHICH is
SIMILAR to a distinctive part of the
uniform of the United States Army,
Navy or Marine Corps. " Any
person who offends against the pro-
visions of this section shall, on con-
viction, be punished by fine not ex-
ceeding $500 or by imprisonment not
exceeding six months, or by both such
fine and Imprisonment.
1t has been noticed that the uni
form or various distinctive parts
thereof is being worn by number
of boys in this community, and whiie
the motive which prompts the wearing
of these articles is no doubt one OF
patriotism, and ignorance of this law
it has a tendency to ridicule and TO
lower the standard which in the case
of the uniform of the military
branches of our country, should be
held as a badge of honor.
1t is therefore requested that the
parents of the boys concerned prohi'
bit them from wearing any distinct
i've part of the uniform, referred tc
above.

OWING to the high price of paper
and the necessities of life, it has been
absolutely necessary for the Prospect
or to cut from it's subscription list
all those owing from the beginning
of 1916. BY carefully pruning our
list we have been able to effect a
saving of ten dollars per month in
paper alone, to say nothing of the
work of printing, wrapping and mail
ing these papers. Therefore, if you do
not receive your paper and know
that you are in arrears over eighteen
months, lay it to the war tax and the
paper trust. We would like to carry
our subscribers another year, as
many of those cut off would evenu-
ally pay up, but it has been rendered
impossible by the high prices of these
perilous times. If you do not receive
your paper look at your last receipt
and see if you are among the de-
linquents.

STAND BY THE GOVERNMENT

Under the above heading the Re-
publican Publicity Association has
given out a statement, which it has
sent to this paper, showing that the
Republican leaders in Congress ra-
Their object to the talk of standing
by the President" instead of stand
ing by the government. The follow
ing is the statement in full:
The Republican Publicity Associa-
ton, through its President Hon. Jona-
than Bourne. Jr., today gave out the
following statement at its Washing
ton Headquarters:
1T is noteworthy that many people
are changing their slogan to Stand
by the Government This is more
exact, a more patriotic and a more
democratic slogan than Stand by the
President
Some people will ask What's the
difference?' There is vast amount of
difference. The President is not the
government even in time of war. The
government is divided into three
branches, named by the constitution
in this order: Legislative, Executive
and Judicial. Stand by the Govern
ment.' means support of the three
branches of the government. Con-
gress is the first. most powerful
branch. 1t declares war, raises reven-
ue, makes appropriations and con-
trolls the raising of troops. The Presi-
dent executes the laws Congress en-
acts. The Judicial Department passes
upon the constitutionality of laws, III
is doubt, and determines controver-

sizes arising under the laws.

sizes arising under the laws.
Some people cannot distinguish
between My Country, right or wrong
and The President, right or wrong,
but there is a vast and essential diff
ference. In a democracy the people
are the nation, the President is their
servant, not their master. The folly
of the slogan Stand by the President
is manifest when one reflects upon
the numerous instances in which the
President has not stood by himself
very long at time. Free discussion
among the people has repeatedly
shown the President his error, and,
after much delay, he has changed his
attitude upon important problems.
Stand by the Government means
support of the judgment of the ma
iority of the people as expressed by
their representatives in the legisla-
tive, executive and judicial branches
of the government. 1t is not only our
right but our duty to discuss legisla-
tive issues. We differed on the con-
scription measure, but congress en-
acted it and we shall unanimously
support it. We shall Stand by the
Government In pursuance Of that
law. the President will enlist an army
which act we shall support. We shall
still Stand by the Government
ut is not a matter of standing by
Congress or the President or the
courts but Stand by the Government
We shall give all three branches OF
the government the aid of public dis
cussion, favorable or unfavorable,
and when the judgment Of individuals
has become the judgment and act OF
the nation, we shall support that act
and judgment. We shall Stand by the
Government Dispatch.

Come to Valdez, and
CELEBRATE THE FOURTH

1T is hoped that means may be
found to construct the highway ask
ed for by the inhabitants of CRANKY,
and Liscum. Such highway would
meet the needs of great number of
people and add considerably to the
income of our merchants and others.
In conversation with Mr.. James
Craig, superintendent of the man.
moth CRANKY copper properties adj
jacent to the bay, he stated that such
a road would he of the greatest con-
venience to the workmen and officials
of his company, as it would afford
instant and reliable access to the city
and would directly benefit a popula-
ton of several hundred. With direct
communication with Valdez the COM
pany could put on a jitney service
and much embarrassing transporta-
ton by water be avoided. Superin
tendent T. G. Quinn of the Prince
William Sound Water, Light & Power
Company was another staunch advo-
cate of the all-land communication
with his property. The grade would
be an easy one and would necessi-
tate but little work to make it easily
traversed by wagons or autos. The
Post would have access to the city
day or night and its officers and men
would not be compelled to await the
arrival or departure of the Post
launch. Such a road would be of great
benefit to our merchants, and would
open up a greater avenue of trade be-
tween the city and that side of the
bay. 1t is hoped that the petition be-
ing circulated by the promoters of the
project will be generously signed by
all who are interested in the project.
This enterprise need not interfere in
any way with the proposition advanc-
ed or the proposed road improvements
which are needed in the district. But
every dollar invested in a permanent
road in this vicinity will be returned
a hundred fold to our citizens.

Amsterdam, Jan. 23.-British
and German torpedo craft clashed
in the North sea last night and
fought, in quick succession, two OF
the heaviest naval actions OF the
war. Both battles took place off the
Dutch coast, in the vicinity OF
Schouwen bank, northeast OF the
mouth Of the Scheldt.
Officially, the only definite state
ment at hand is British admiralty
report issued this afternoon and
supplemented by brief announce
ment tonight says the American.
From these it would appear that
the two actions resulted in draw
though it is asserted that the Ger
mans were badly punished.
Unofficial advices strengthened by
the arrival of wounded German
flotilla suffered severe defeat.
The losses thus far definitely known
are one German and one British
destroyer.
It is almost certain however that
two German destroyers, including
the V-69 were sunk and three others
disabled.
The British armiralty admits the
loss of three officers and forty-four
men. Three German officers are
known to have been killed.
The V-69, one of the most power
full and modern Of German torpedo
boat destroyers and evidently the
"leader" of the Teuton craft engag-
ed in the coursce of the action, was
made the center of the furious on
slaught by the bulk of the British
flotilla.
A terrific fusillade was opened
her from all sides. The entire
bridge was catapulted into the sea

SPEECH OF WILSON
in DEBATE
Public Dazed and in Sea Of
Doubt over the Results

Washington, Jan. 23.-Quietly
and firmly awaiting the results of
his epoch making pronouncement
laying down the terms Of the Euro
pean peace which will meet the ap-
proval of the United States, the
President was the center of sea of
doubt and amazement tonight.
A shocked and astounded Wash
ington found itself unable to see
clearly the limits to which the far
reaching effects Of the Presidents
new attitude toward Europe might
lead.
Two things were clear. The Presi-
dent will make no further move un-
til the startled world has had time
to study and digest the unpreceden-
ted demand Of the United States.
The European belligerents will be
given an opportunity to reply to
the Presidents speech. The admin
istration takes the attitude that
while no reply is called for, the bel
ligerents might, however, state their
views.
Among Entente and Teutonic di-
plomats is was stated that while no
instructions had been received from
Europe, it was probable that there
would be no direct reply from either
group of belligerents in the form of
a diplomatic communication.
It was accepted as probable that
the statesmen of the two alliances
would recognize the speech and re-
ply to it in parliamentary speeches.
Washington believed that Lloyd
George would reply for the Entente
and, that Bethmann-H Hollweg might
be expected to address the German
Reichstag on the subject.
Diplomatic and legislative Wash
ington struggled in q, mass Of specu-
lative conjecture rs to the world ef-
fects Of the Presidents speech.
Republican members of the SEN
ate debate on the subject and des-
pite the parliamentary situation to
q point where the measure will be
before the Senate tomorrow for
consideration.

died on the way to shore.
Throughout the evening heavy
canonading was heard all along the
coast, bringing hundreds of Dutch
Burghers to the shore trying to
catch a glimpse of the clash.
The German mosquito flotilla"
had ventured forth from the naval
base at Zeebrugge under cover of a
heavy fog.
It is believed that it deliberately
sought an engagement with the
British, the theory being advanced
in well informed quarters that the
action was to screen either the de-
parture or arrival of one or more
German raiders.
It was recalled that every time
commerce destroyer had left or
arrived at home port there was
either a German torpedo attack on
the British coast or an engagement
with hostile craft.
This was true particularly in the
cases of the Moewre's home coming
and the U-liner Deutschland's de-
parture and return from her first
trip.
Furthermore, it is believed the
real reason for the German admiral
tvs secrecy concerning the arrival
in Swinemeunde Of the Yorrowdale
was that the raider herself was, ana
probably is, expected to make
home port every dey.

OF VILLA ATTACK
Renorts Reaches Border Thai
villa May Attack Pershing

Ell Paso, Texas, Jan. %. General
Pershing is taking every precautlon
against attack, prior to withdrawing
his punitive expedition from Mex
leo.
The precautions are due to the
fact that Pancho Villa in a speech
last week at Bustillo is reported to
have announced that he would pay
the punitive expedition visit be-
fore departure, to find out what
stuff his men are made Of"
Villastis in Ell Paso deny that the
bandit made any such threat, and
assert that he will make no move OF
any kind even against Carranza
forces until the American troops
are out of Mexico.
Then, they declare, he will take
Chihuahua City and Juarez. thus
completing his conquest of Northern
Mexico.
Owing to the rigidity of the CEN
sorship maintained concerning the
movement of General Pershing's
troops. even army men in Ell Paso
are obtaining their information
from Carranza officials here.
Andres Garcia. inspector of Me~l-
can consulates. received word today
from Casa Granda that the first OF

Congressman Ferris was roundly APP
plauded at his every mention OF the

applause followed General Hoffman's
statement that the only way 10 deal
with the draft resisters is the firing

Mr.. Ferris said that the only reason
the farmers were not more interested
in the war is because they do not know
certain facts.
The German kaiser issued his ulh,
