WAR MOTORCYCLES IN PARADE
Side Car Machine Guns Feature

In a recent preparedness parade in one
OF the largest cities in the Middle West
the leading feature consisted of three Ex-

The general belief throughout the coun-
try Is that in case we should need these
outfits for active service. the Excelsior
motorcycle and side-car attachments will
be the drst to be used, as the Excelsior
has proven itself to be the most durable
motor on the border, doing hard, rough
service. This Is due to the fact that the
Excelsior side car can be attached or de-
tached In a few minutes, because the
sockets for the side car are part of the
motorcycle, and when coupled together 1t

States cannot and will not consider peace at the instance of Prussia or her agents, as the Rus sians favorng peace now are her agents.
 Positively the only peace the Americans are prepared to accept is peace which must be dis astrous to Germanys rulers such as peace made over their bodies and peace that will make the German people return to reason and humaneness' By their action with the poor defenseless, they have disgraced humanity and deserve either anihilation or reduced to everlasting servitude. Their disregard for all respect for others rights preclude them from ever enjoying any further confidence of any nation that will be true to any terms of peace These are the reasons why we believe that the Allies will never accept peace at the instance of Prussia. She deserves no peace until humiliation is complete

WHAT ABOUT THAT CAMPAIGN?

What about that food conservation cam nairn? asked subscriber yesterday. The in- Quirer said that such campaign was on in earn est all over, but that nothing was heard about in Ketchikan. Is patriotism dead?' he asked.
 Had it not been for the fact that we were very busy at the time, we would have answered fully. and the answer would have been something like this: Patriotism does not mean that we must let our acts be known. Patriotism need not be Jagged. Let the skepticals take the trouble to look around. they will soon find that the Americans in Ketchikan are not the kind of people who need proddng who need to be minded every day of their duties. People here have been careful to observe every request made by every branch of the government. In our case all that which lIr. Hoover had to do was to sug- gest and every housewife responded without a murmur They need no reminder which is the kind of patriotism that counts
 There are various kinds of patriots. For instances Take the grocer whose place of bus mess is eXtravagantly decorated with l2 and puts up the price of all commodities fifty per cent on account of the war. The brber who charges double for everything he does and blame it on the war. The landlord who sends out notices of advance rates with an etf,sorz1i flag in the corner. The banker; the lcier; the money lender who brags of h.; patriotism, cheers departing young men for the front and forecloses notes and mortgages on the family home they have left behind These make up one class of patriots. Fortunately, Ketchikan has none of that variety. The citizens know their duties. perform them and never brag. The only braggart in town is the Progressive-Min the editor of which is ever prone to laud the &C., tions of the citizens.

Wolves of the Sea.

Facts appear incontestably that sharks, and big ones, abound in Gu ban waters. The Antillean shark is less dangerous than some Australi- an and south Pacific species. In clear water fifteen or twenty feet deep he is timid. Near a boat an chored where the bottom can be seen from the surface, as in those waters it commonly can be at the depth named, the bather is safe. In deeper water there is risk. If there is blood in the water from a wound ed man or fish the swimmers peril is great. Indifferent, lazy creatures, of low order of intelligence, sharks are instantly frenzicd by the presence of blood and will attack anything that moves.-Popular Sci ence Monthly.

 HUNTING Swift and Long Distance Run ming Alter Moose

The danger of getting overloaded in a cold climate is well understood by the Indians of Alaska. A gov ernment official there explains how carefully they guard against the danger of freezing to death in con- sequence of allowing themselves to become too warm.
 On the upper Yukon the old method of moose hunting in early winter was for the Indians to go out on snowshoes after q heavy snow fall in search of fresh trails. When one was found the swiftest runner of the party prepared himself to run down the moose. Stripped of all clothing except a shirt aad brooches and carrying q light shot gun loaded with ball, he started off after the animal, while the women and slower runners followed more leisurely.
 Sometimes a moose would run eight or ten miles before being overtaken. The runner never stop ped until he had overtakcn and kill ed it, and he never stopped then. The cold at that season is very in- tense. The hunter, heated with his long run, would quickly have frozen to death if he had stopped. For that reason, after having killed the moose, he returned to camp at d run, leaving his followers, who were more thickly clothed than he and less heated, to cut up the carcass and drag 1t home.
 These Indians on the upper 1u kon hunt other animals besides the moose, and some of them are fear s..ss hunters
 Black bears are found in all the land, except in the barren tundras bordering the arctic. coast. They are usually hunted with bows and arrows, but the bravest of the hunt CTS will attack them armed with nothing but long bladed knife.
 In such a case the hunter wraps 8 blanket about his left arm and hand and with it thus protected thrusts it out for the bear to seize as it rises upon its launches. Un- der the guard thus afforded the hunter is enabled to make a fatal thrust.
 Alaskan hunters need to be bold, for the peninsula boasts of having a species of bear considered to be the largest in the world. The skull of an old male looks as if the crca- ture belonged to the animal life of a former age, when beasts of gigan- tic size roamed the earth.-Los An geles Times.

The large turnout at the liber- ty loan rally last evening, and the enthusiastic response to the appeals for the sale of bonds was enough to make any one proud to be resident of Wrangell.
 Last week Mrs. Sadie Edmun- son, principal of the Native school, received the appointment as the Wrangell representative of the Council of National De- fense. Mrs. Edmunson immedi- ately addressed a letter to every organization in town asking each to send three representatives to a meeting to be held in the town hall on the evening of October Is to decide unon the : manner in which the sale of liberty bonds should be brought before the people of Wrangell. At the meeting held October IS it was decided to hold a rally on the evening of Liberty Day and to appoint a committee to arrange for the event and also boost for the sale of bonds.
 The enthusiastic meeting last evening at which $10,O00 was raised was the result of the above plans.
 The rally opened with the sing, ing of The Star Spangled Banner by the audience. Miss Margaret Bronson at the piano.
 The invocation was given by the Rev. J. s. Clark.

as chairman of the meeting, then made an introductory address which was we'll received.
 Stirring addresses were made by Leo Mccormack, F. H. Gray, Harvey Stackpole of Ketchikan, and w. H. Warren.
 Following the addresses the chairman announced that Mir. Warren, the banker, was ready to take applications. Fred Lynch, an octogenarian, was the first to come forward and buy a bond. Hon. P. c. Mccormack, treasur- CT of the Improved Order of Red- men, announced that he had been authorized to purchase a thousand dollar bond for the Red men.
 w. H. Warren, secretary of the Arctic Brotherhood, an- nounced that he had been auth orized to purchase a five hundred dollar bond for the Brotherhood.
 After all who desired had signed applications the chairman announced that including $8,OOO that had been previously sub- scribed, $25,0 900 had been raised. There was a hearty applause.
 The rally closed with the sing ing of America" and a bene- diction by the Rev. H. P. Corser.
 The hall was donated for the occasion by MT. Bender.
 Following the rally there was a dance given by MT. Bender which was well attended and greatly enjoyed.

Wells and MT. Henley were in the office of the magazine, gloomily discuss ing its prospects, when funeral went by in the street outside.

DO YOUR BIT

You have been asked by men on the streets to buy liberty bonds. The big meeting, where the meaning of liberty bonds has been explained to you is over; and. if you have not already been converted, and purchased one or more bonds, there is still time.
 You have not sinned away your day of grace.
 The government is asking of the wealthy to not only buy lib- erty bonds, but also is taking from 10 to 60 per cent of their income for the support of the war, but it says to us common ordinary people, Your savings are not conscripted for the war, but you are asked to loan your money" Money loaned at Soo or lOoo has to be watched by a shrewd lawyer and the net gains are often scarcely 20. Here is a loan at 4oo that is sure. There is no chance of losing. At the close of the war these bonds will be worth mere than their face value. They are the very high est class investments.
 The appeal thus far is to sell fish motives. There is a much higher reason than that for in- vesting. We are all familiar with the story of David, and how he went out 10 fight against the giant to contend for the liberties of his people, and we can imag- inc how the people felt when he went forth. Likewise we have watched our young men as they have left us to fight for liberty against the modern Hunnish gi- ants. They go forth as our champions. Can we hesitate to support them with our money? They need our help, shall We be slackers and not give it? The true patriot is a patriot is a pa- triot clear down to his pocket book We have seen boys ike Case and Taylor and Carlson that have grown up here go forth. Shall one of these boys be lost because our money las failed to buy the proper guns, and secure the proper protection for them:
 Again it's either buy liberty bonds or contribute toward an indemnity in the end to ransom the country from slavery.
 If you have not ready bought to your fullest capacity, get your money quick, and run to the bank and buy before it is too late.
