While the size of the crowd at the Shrine Star Spangled Banner bay Ball last night was rather disappointment to the committees ill charge of the affair, the dance as a whole was one of the prettiest little parties ever given in Juneau and those present enjoyed every minute Expressions of approval were heard on every side and every one present went home happy at an early hour this morning.
 The hall was beautifully decorat- ed with large American flags and Shrine emblems, everything being with thg sslsFMlksS . and bids' pf "Oid Glory predominating. A large five pointed star was formed with festooned flags, in the center of the hall. and the side walls were GOV cred with flags and emblems.
 One end of the hall was blocked off with large American flags and during the evening the entire au- dience stopped dancing and burned to that part. While the orchestra played the Star Spangled Banner, two of the flags were drawn aside and revealed Miss Nellie Simpkins, draped with flags and holding a large silk flags which was kept flut tering by large electric fan As all the lights in the hall were turned off, with the exception of those playing on Miss Simpkins, the effect was very striking and the audience enthusiastic anplaudad the ring

It stands to reason that on a new article Q good impression in the first place inspires confidence on behalf of the buyers. It must also be taken into consideration that the market is 2 very long way from Alaska, and this year the buyers have to more or less trust to the Judgment of their representatives,, who in turn have to see that no in ferior packed goods are dumped on the market.

$4,000 DAMAGE
! SUIT FILED; ECHO
! OF SCHOOL WRANGLE

.Spooner, Minn., Sept. 24.-Former
Superintendent of Baudette Schools
N. E. Schwartz has filed suit against
CIR. Middleton for $25, 700 damages.
The suit is a sequel to the recent
school controversy in that village.
Mr.. Middleton, while president OF
the school board, refused to sign a
contract with Mr.. Schwartz and was
instrumental in inducing his son, E..
c.. Middleton, to. bring an action re-
straining the school board from pay
ing any salary to Schwartz. The
latter then brought mandamus pro-
ceedings against Mr.. Middleton and
the matter was finally decided In
the supreme court, where Mr..
Schwartz was allowed his salary and
sustained on most points in the con-
troversy.
Damages are now claimed for the
wrongful Interference by Mr.. Mid
dleton with the rights Of N. E..
Schwartz, specifically in refusing to
sign Mr.. Schwartz contract; his
wrongful act in having his son begin
the injunction proceeding; the
wrongful act of Mr.. Middleton In
slandering Mr.. Schwartz through
the public press, and also that Mr..
Middleton at various times and pla-
ces had made threats to "get" Mr..
Schwartz.
The action will probably come up
for trial at the next term of court
to be held at this end of the county.
The papers were served by Deputy
Sheriff Dundas and the defendant has
twenty days in which to make an
swer to the charges.

In the same cell with DWyer was
Alex Monroe, who Saturday after
noon was found guilty of robbery
in the second degree. Although
Monroe had the same chance of es-
cape as his cellmate, he neither aided
Dwyer nor made any attempt to
leave his cell, 1t is said.

down and serve it out than .have
them after me for the rest of my
days." was Monroe's reply when ask
ed If the hole was too small for him
to get through.
Has Bad Record.
Whether or not Dwyer Is "hard
boiled" he at least has a record. This
is the fourth time he has been con-
fined in the Beltrami county jail. A
short time ago he was put in the
Duluth Jail and escaped over night,
and has had many other 'experlen-
ces." After escaping from the Du-
luth jail he returned to the Cass
Lake Mission and three was arrested
for bootlegging by federal officer
and brought to Bemidji and confined
in the county Jail.
Claims Had Saw.
Dwyer claims that he had the saw
concealed in the leg Of his trousers
when he was put in jail and could
have escaped before If he wanted
to. The officers theory is that as
Dwyer was in the cell with four
other prisoners who were charged
with robbery, his plan was to wait
until they all got their sentences and
then free the whole bunch, but as
all the rest we're freed except Mon
roe and as he wouldn't attempt es-
cape, Dwyer had to take his chan &C
alone. Dwyer will probably be TAX

THE "ARMY OVER NIGHT"

We are not hearing much during these days Of a
million men sprinsins to- arms over night. Big talk lie
one thing ana action Is another. ~
Our government IL making what haste 1t can in the
raising OF an army. At this time a new army of a mil.
lion men is not contemplated. The new army is to be
one OF half q million. It has been intended that thi.
army should be put into training by September 1. but we
now learn that in all probability the time must be ex-
tended. The men can be drawn and sworn in before that
time. Of course. but the present prospect is that with all
the haste that can be made, training camps will not be
ready by September 1. F
Those who talked so glibly about the simplicity OF
the problem Of raising an army forgot that no matter how
many "sprang to arms something more was needed
They forgot that before these men were Of any military
value whatever they must be trained. We. are told of the
minute men Of 7s. who left their plows in the burrows
grabbed their rifles from the walls, and were thereupon
soldiers as good as any.
where the tactics with which the conditions
of their lives had made them familiar. But for real mil.
itary service they had to be trained, even to fit them FOR
warfare so comparatively crude as it then was. Our
men, taking them as a group, are utterly destitute Of the
knowledge Of firearms alone, and the conditions Of mod
en warfare necessitate training in a score Of other direc.
tons.
transportation, Of sanitation, of medical supplies, and so
forth. And to arrange for all these things requires time
and labor, and without them an army, no matter
what the character Of IT'S individuals, would be merely al
sheep in the shambles.

MORE THAN SCIENCE NEEDED

Maxim Gorky says that Russia's great trouble is her
lack of scientific and technical knowledge, and that the
filling Of this gap is the chief thing needed in the recon-
struction Of the country.
Science" is an elastic term, and probably Gorky
uses 1t in its broad sense. If he does not he is mistaken.
Of the physical sciences is essential to SYM
netrical progress. But knowledge of those sciences alone
will not create or save a nation.
In certain ways Germany is the most scientific nation
on earth. But Germany is on the road to ruin, or to re-
construction, through much tribulation. German science
and technical knowledge have accomplished wonders. but
because these things have been made to minister to the
selfish ambitions of men whose conceptions of the social
order are utterly perverted, Germany has become a men,
ace to the world, and inevitably she must be reformed
or destroyed.
Russia lacks this sort Of knowledge. Her people
need 1t. They need advanced knowledge in agriculture.
in engineering. in the sciences and arts generally. She
has q wealth of raw materials which the possession of
adequate knowledge will enable her to utilize. But that
knowledge will not Of itself be sufficient.
Russia needs spiritual knowledge which all the study
of physics cannot give. The olgarchy which had fasten-
ed itself upon her like a great cancer must be rooted out
and destroyed. On the other hand, the people who have
been the victims Of this system need themselves to learn
what government is and what it means.
The multiplication table is an excellent and indispen-
sable thing. but the most complete mastery Of it never
made a man a good citizen.

H TWAMLEY GIFT

Among the interesting announcements made at the
commencement exercises Of the University Of North Da-
kota was one to the effect that the family Of the late
James Twanley had made to the university a gift Of
$1,000 as a memorial to Mr.. Twamley, who was one Of
the drst board of regents Of the university, and who
served In that capacity for ten years.
This gift comes. not directly from Mr.. Twamley
himself. by bequest, but from his widow and children,
who were entirely free to exercise their judgment in the
matter. and to give or withhold, as they saw At. The
Offering, therefore, is one of perfect free will, a fact
which enhances its gracious character. As a loving trib-
ute TO the memory Of a departed relative nothing could
have been more appropriate. for 1t is a recognition of
the interest which he, himself, felt in the university and
its work. and an evidence Of the generous participation
by the members Of his family in that interest.
Tho gift is to be placed to the credit of the Stu
dents Aid fund. from which will be drawn, from time to
time, such sums as may be deemed expedient to be loaned
to struggling students to aid them in carrying on their
college work. The sums 30 loaned will be returned later
out OF the earnings Of the students who have benefited
from their use. This gift, therefore, becomes part Of a
permanent revolving fund which. year after year, will
aid in providing successive groups Of students with the
means for obtaining an education. It is an investment
IN character, a stimulus to honest endeavor and contri-
button to the social good. It was made modestly and
unostentatiously. but those who have made it are entitled
to the assurance that the gift is valued. and that the
spirit which prompted it is understood and appreciated.
