SOLDIER INSURANCE

One of the uses to which it is proposed to devote part VI
the proceeds of Liberty Loan bonds is to afford to our SOLDIERS
and sailors life and indemnity insurance and 10 proVloe
for allowances to their dependent families while they are LII
the ranks. On this point Secretary McAdoo, whose piah
of insurance for our fighting men was endorsed by Presldeht
Wilson and is now embodied in a law pending before congress,
says:
Every soldier and sailor who serves his country In THIS
war will earn everything the proposed war insurance I'LL pro-
vides; to be a beneficiary of the proposed law will be a badge
of honor.
when we draft a wage Garner, we call not only MIN DC
the entire family to the flag; the sacrifice entalled IS not
Invisible. The wife and children, the mother, the father, all
are involved to the sacrifce-they directly bear the burden OF
defense. They suffer just as much as the soldier, Dut
in a different way, and the nation must generously discharge
as a proud privilege the duty of maintaining them until the
soldiers and sailors return from the war and resume the respon-
sibility.
I'VE have drawn the sword to vindicate Americas viOlat-
ed rights, to restore peace and justice, and to secure the prog
ress of civilization. We cannot permit our soldiers, while
they hold the front, to be stabbed in the back by uncertainty
as to what is being done for their loved ones at home. Our
tOmOrrOws are in their hands = theirs in ours. The national
conscience will not permit American soldiers and their depend
ents to go unprovided with everything that a just, generous
and noble people can do to compensate them for the Sufferlngs
and sacrifices they make to serve their country"

spies of the German government who still infest parts of this
country. All such fellows ought to be branded and after the
war sent back to the countries from which they came-or the
countries for which they are now in labors.

 Don't "take a last fling" It may land you in the hospital. At the best, it will probably bring you into camp in an unfit condition to take up your new duties with profit and enjoyment. There are strenuous days ahead of yon and it will be good sense on your parS to make reasonable preparation for them.
 Look Forward With Confidence
 You will find nothing required Of you in the army that is beyond the powers of the everyday American. You will see clearly ahead of you, after you have read this course, the path which you are to follow. Look ! forward with confidence. Enter the service with the firm determination of doing your best at all times, ot play ing square with your superiors, your associates, and yourself, and of talk ing care always of your assigned du- ties whatever may happen.
 You will find that everyone else will treat you with courtesy and fairness for that is the inflexible rule of the army. Out of that rule grows the comradeship and the attractiveness, even in the face of all dangers and hardships, that are characteristic of American army life.

REGISTERED? DON'T LOSE
 YOUR CARD
Card May Keep You Out of Jail Warming Issued by
 Governor

JUNEAU, Aug. 22.-Although the work of registration under the mili- tary selective draft law has been in progress less than two months in the Territory of Alaska, the Governors office has been advised that number of registrants have lost their regis tration certificate cards. This is a serious matter, and persons who reg ister should use every precaution against possible loss of their certifi- cates, since such loss may result in very unpleasant complications. Gov ernor Strong today said, in speaking of this matter:
 "The young man who registers un- der the selective draft law should guard his registration certificate as he guards his money. Very great in- convenience and serious embarrasS- ment may result from the loss of a certificate. Let no man think the lit tie card is a mere scrap of paper'-it may serve to keep him out of jail."
