RED CROSS ITEMS.

A cable received today from Cam paign Manager Davies from Seattle says that indications are that Alaska will lead the NATION in the percent age of membership per capita.
 Another cable says that it is the membership they seek rather than the amount of contribution from each member.
 MT. R. w. Baxter of the Alaska Steamship Co. has allotted $50 to the Cordova chapter and the local committee are considering applying this toward securing membership for Cordova children.
 The committeeman have been in structed to urge those they solicit to take membership for children of each home. The membership banner that will be given each house where a member exists, is entitled to an extra cross for each addirionaI member If parents feel financially unable to take out a dollar membership for the child, the committee will supply soc of the amount or if necessary, they will pay the entire amount.

U. S. CAPT. ON U-BOAT
Said He Was NaturaIized in Boston
Even Passed the Cigars.

London, Oct. 1.-The commander of
German submarine that has sue
cessfu1ly attacked at least one vessel
claims American nationality, having
been naturalized in Boston before the
war.
Sponsors for this statement are
members of a British expeditionary
force whose boat was torpedoed a few
weeks ago in the Bay of Biscay and
who were saved mainly thru the cour-
tesy of this alleged German-Ameri-
can.
Their story is in marked contrast
to that told by the survivors of the
Belgian Prince When the captain
learned that some were Americans and
Canadians he showed great interest

I'm an American in a way" he
said. Il used to live in Boston and

But he invited some of his victims

them about the vessel.

an outcast wherever he goes" he said.
NO chance to make a living in Ger

Constitutionality of the Kansas
white slavery law is being tested be-
fore the supreme court today in a
case appealed from Montgomery
county Irregularities in adoption of
provisions of the act are alleged by
attorneys who seek to secure a court
opinion holding the state law invalid.

raised a question concerning the val

provisions of the present law were
gestion of ". L. 0ronjaw) Brown,
speaker of the 1913 house of repre-
sentatives and candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination for United States
senator in 1914.
Attacks on the law concern them
selves with two separate and distinct
publications of the act The act now
in existence does not compel women
to establish their character when ap-
pearing as plaintiffs in white slave
cases An amendment tackled onto
the bill by the senate provided for
clean bills of character by women.
The bill as originally published con-
tanned this provision The measure
as subsequently puDuS6ed and print
ed in the session laws, did not carry
the character provision Both bills,
it seems, were signed by Governor
Hodges and each was known as
House Bill No. 40. Brown was author
of the bill.
Point Out Error.
The state today contended that the
legislative history of the white slavery
law is clear and perfect. They con-
tend that an error was committed in
the erroneous publication of the first
bill, that records of the house and
senate show appointment of conferees
to discuss disputed provisions of the
bill They also claim that both
houses regularly passed the bill as it
now appears in the general statutes.
A number of men-probab1y a
dozen or fifteen-are in the peniten-
tiary at this time because of convic-
ton under the provisions of the law.
1t is probable that twenty-five or
thirty men have gone to the state
penitentiary for violation of the law
which is now alleged to be unconsti-
tutionaL Should the court declare
the present law invalid, the action
would probably automatically release
the men now in state prison and in
jails for violation Of the state white
slave act.
It is probable the supreme court
will hand down an opinion in the
case in November
