 FAIRBANKS, Jan. 12.-Wickersham failed of carrying the fourth division by seven votes but he now leads in the whole territory.
 Complete official returns from all precincts In the Fourth division give Sulzer sixteen hundred and eighty eight votes to Wickersham's sixteen hundred and eight-one.
 Complete and official returns from all divisions give Wickersham lead in the territory of eleven votes. This total includes Utica precinct In the Second division which Is said to be in danger of being thrown out be- cause of failure to conform to the requirements of the law. If Utica be not counted Wickersham still has plurality of two.
 The returns form Nushagak. Nak- nek, Koggiung, Ugaguk, Ngashek and some other precincts in the Third di- vision have not yet been received. They are counted on to be strong for Wickersham judging by their former complexion and by the fact that most of the voters in these places are trappers, prospectors, hunters and

The men stepped aside but some of them went on to an ex- press track along which out of the dense fog sped the express. Six of the men were struck and instantly killed. One of the forms was thrown under the wheels of the passing local

Soldiers All

The convenient tradition that men must
fight and women must weep deserved the
hard words spoken by Miss Ida Tarbell.
1--WE should make every woman in this
country, even though she lives on back
street in Podunk, feel that she is soldier
in war time" was her declaration for the
Women's Committee Of the Council of Ma
tional Defence. That is the truth, and the
sooner il is driven home the better.
What we need to feel-men, women and
children-is that we are all called to fight
for our country. A few millions, because
of physical fitness and their ability to be
spared from their ordinary jobs, must up
hold our cause on the firing line. Theirs is
the greatest danger and the greatest
honor. But no nation can survive IN mod
ern warfare if it sends its fighting men to
the front and lets the war go at that. Our
coming officers are already training vigor-
ously at Plattsburg; our whole new army
will be training in few months. The
rest of us have an equally important dis
Clpllne 10 learn, anu uiSClpliiIC PSiH" ""
all the harder because it must be applied
voluntarily, at home, without the compul-
sion of drill and regulation.
Miss Tarbell laid especial stress on the
necessity for food economy in every home.
There undoubtedly lies the first duty Of
every woman, and it is duty second to
none in the whole country. But, as we are
realizing day by day, the duty of every one,
men as we'll as women, is summed up in no
one simple formula. We must be ready
all along the line of life to help promptly
and intelligently. At the moment our duty
to subscribe to the Liberty Loan is upper
most. Later it will be other loans, other
obligations. Steadily, throughout every
days activity, must run the feeling that
we are in fact, if not in name, "enlisted"-
that first in all our thoughts must come
our duty to our country.

Praise for Mr.. Baker
Proof Demanded of His incompetence

Sir: I am inclosing a clipping from your
paper of yesterday letter from reader
who says that Secretary of War Baker is

reader, who signs himself Democrat"
doubtless got this idea from reading The
Tribune and other New York papers which
have been of the opinion that Baker is a
brainless incompetent, to be regarded with
contempt.
Now, What would like to know is this:
Just wherein is Baker incompetent? In
fact, I will pay $50 to any charity that The
Tribune will designate on receipt Of proof
that he Is incompetent. happen to know
that he has an exceptionally keen mind,
and that in the opinion of the War Depart

to his task, but is proving one of the most
efficient War Secretaries we have ever had.
Scarcely day passes that he does not show
a grasp of his job and such vision as to ex-
cite the admiration of those who come into
contact with him-those who have seen
War Secretaries come and go and know
something of the size they ought to be.
Baker has never had a square deal from
the newspapers, and this reflects on the
papers themselves, in that it indicates an
inability to obtain facts--the very thing
that a newspaper rather undertakes to DO.
II Baker is really big mah-and those
best in a position 70 judge insist that he is
the joke is really quite as much on the
newspapers who have not found this out
as on Baker.
BE this as it may, feel that the news
papers who critcse Baker should point out
specifically just where and how he is in
competent. The dramatic critic who simply
says that theatrical performance is rot

very far in his profession.

Spelling a Patriotic Day
EDITOR of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: ! know that the best paper in the
country has small space for seemingly in
consequential topics, but since New York
has been a strong advocate Of war and yet
has failed to lead in enlistment figures many
Of US are looking for the reasons. Perhaps
this is one:
Every weekday afternoon amid a racket
from a perfectly good horn a person drives
down Fifth Avenue on an excellent black and
yellow coach behind four splendid horses
which would make first class cavalry mounts
doubt if the government could make use OF
any Of the personnel except the horses.
As an ordinary stimulation TO patriotism
and in consideration of the feelings of the
man in the street, who is shouldering his
war taxes without a whimper. this violation
Of good taste should be the object of a spe-
cial coniscatory tax that would prevent
spelling an otherwise patriotic day for thou
sands OF persons who formerly smiled at the
light, but now swear. c. NJ.
