 Please accept my most sincere thanks for the twelve boxes of dress ings of various kinds. viz: Gauge. sponges. cotton pads, congresses, making a total of four thousand and two articles in all.

 I need hardly say that in Q large military hospital like this the demand for dressings is very great. and a con- tribution such as yours is most ac- ceptable, specially so on account of the excellence and finish of the dress ings.
 Please convey my thanks to your and to the various work CTS who have made the dressings. and tell them how much their con- tribution is appreciated.

 Washington.

keep men at that job and all because he
does not pay them enough money. Those
janitors get $50 per month for eight hours
work pc rday, which is just about $40 per
month too short of what men should get
for such work The white janitors all quit
to go to work in the various ship yards
and it is only a matter of short time
when the colored men will quit and take
more lucrative jobs. However, this is
splendid time for colored men to get gov
eminent jobs, which will last the most Of
their natural lives, as the white men can
do so much better that they do not hesitate
to not only leave them even when they are
fixtures, but new ones will not apply.
George o. Allen, the oldest employee in
the Seattle Postoffice, from point Of serv-
ice, among the colored employees, has taken

witness for his passports and truly hope
that he will find in South America just
what he is looking for. He has been a

and the most Of that time has been work
ing in the postoffce department Of the gov
eminent. Mrs. Allen will remain in the
city until he has thoroughly looked over
the field down there and decided whether
he will locate or return to Seattle. If he
decides not to return she will sell their
property and join him in that far-away
south land Both of them have a smatter-
ing Of Spanish and Portuguese, quite suf-
fcient to make themselves understood, at
least when they are hungry. Mr.. and Mrs
Allen are among most substantial citi-
zens and the whole community will regret
to have them leave, but truly hope they will
do well, be happy and live long. God be
with you till we meet again.
Frank Richardson, who is a native pio-
neer in the Northwest, has recently re-
turned to Seattle after an absence of some
years 'Since leaving the city I have
travelled up and down the Siberian coast
with party of mining prospectors and all
through southwestern as well as southeast
ern Alaska. The Siberian country is hard
to beat for general resources and some day
it will be one Of the great countries of the
world, but with all Of her resources she is
not able to hold a candle for Alaska to
run by. 1t appears to me that southern
Alaska is the coming garden spot Of the
world and, owing to her innumerable re-
sources which in the near future will be
priceless Fine vegetables and grains can
be raised almost all over southern Alaska
and throughout southwestern Alaska agri-
culture in the near future will be even
more extensively carried on than it is in
the state of Washington" enthusiastically
declared Mr.. Richardson one day this week
Charles S. Parker writes from the Des
Moines training camp: "About fifty per
cent Of the men, who originally came here
have gone for some reason, but the balance
of us are still here and training away

we are doing well and they further say, it
is one Of the finest camps in the country
OF course Mr.. Parker is now under mill
tary regulations and it is not his to COM
ment one way or the other as to the out
come of affairs, but the editor Of this paper
is Of the opinion that none Of the men now
in training at that camp will be used in
the very near future. We are told that
the regular colored regiments in the army
the Twenty fourth and Fifth Infantry and
the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry-are not up
to fighting strength and no efforts are being
made to fill up their depleted ranks The
president has only accepted such colored
units as were forced upon him from North
ern states. It is the concensus of opinion
that no more colored regiments will be or
gained, unless the situation in Europe be-
comes much worse than it now is, and if
no more cOlored companies are organized
there will be no use for the officers that
may pass successful examinations after the
training at Ft. Des Moines has come to an
end
The Scott Harris Family gave it's concert
last Monday evening and it was one Of the
very pleasing entertainments Of the season.
A house full and overlooking awaited the
opening number on the program and that
first number by Willie Harris fully convinc-
eel those present that they would get value
received for whatever amount each and
every one had paid for admission The
remarks preliminary to introducing Mr..
Harris, who would deliver the Cotton Ex-
position address Of the late Dr. Booker u.
Washington by Mr.. Frank Griffin, were of
themselves striking feature of the inter-
estlng program rendered by the family: DR..
Washington himself could have put no more
vim into that now historic address than did
Mr. Harris and one felt almost as if DR..
Washington had returned to life and was
delivering this speech for the first time.
Miss Harris followed her father in a char
acter song, which was so very clever that
the audience, with laundering applause,
called her back, and if such thing be DOS
slble, she did better in her second appear
ance than in her first Mrs. Harris recited
number OF recitations, each of which were
wildly applauded Her rendition of Paul
Lawrence Dunbar's ''When Malinda Sings,
was pleasing and pathetic and she demon
strated that she was an elocutionst of no
mean ability The guitar selections bv Mr.
Harris were likewise pleasing features Of
the interesting program. On the whole it
can be said without fear of successful con-
tradlctlon that, the Harris family is gifted
both IN music and elocution and if thew
continue to grow in their work thew need
never again advertise benefit program on
account OF misfortunes Sixty odd dollars
were realized by the family over and above

 ANNUAL BALL |S.
 GREAT SUCCESS

Tn 8 patriotic setting, the board of visitors of St. Luke's Home gave its fourth annual charity ball at the Woma's club last evening. From a so- cial and financial standpoint the event was one of the most successful affairs of the season.
 The auditorium was decorated in wealth of holiday greens but the chief motif of the decorative scheme was the flag. In the center of the stage, which was miniature forest, the flag waved the spot light accentuating its pres ence. Over the side lights about the room were the flags of the allies with just the touch of Christmas greenery to recall the season.
 The reception hall was in olive branches and on either side of the fire place stood two small Christmas trees. The state flag and the national ban ner, were hung just opposite the re- ceiving line composed of the members of the board who gave the function for the benefit of St. Luke'S Home.
 The supper table was charmingly decorated in scarlet carnations and the lights were shaded in the same red tone. Mrs. E. ]. Bennitt, Mrs. Louis H. Chalmers, Mrs. Dwight B. Heard and Mrs. Charles Van Der Veer pre- sided. Mrs. Walter Talbot was at the tea table and Mrs. Ancil Martin pre- sided over the punch bowl
 The details of the dance were planned by Mrs. W. G. Hartranft and among those who assisted her were Mrs. Gordon Tweed, Mrs. c. F. Aims worth, and Mrs. Herbert Burr Atha.
 Donald Dunbar was master of cere monies and arranged very delightful dance program The music was fur nished by the Forest Burney orchestra

Several at tempts have been made on the speak ing stage to present this wizard, but it remained for William Fox to give the pleasing presentation that is found in Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp The handling of this part of the magic of the picture will be viewed with a great deal of interest by every adult in the audience, while the children sim ply go crazy over it.

COLONEL BREEN
 GIVES UP PLACE JANUARY FIRST

Colonel Fred S Brecn, who since last May has been doing the double duty of disbursing officer and agent for the United States under the selective ser vice law and also that of adiutant gen erdl under the same law, will be re- licVcd of both offices before January 1.
 The resignation of Colonel Breen Was handed 10 Governor Campbell sev- eral days ago, but no move had been made to replace him as it had been hoped that he would reconsider and withdraw his resignation. But he was determined to step out. and yesterday, in conference with Governor Hunt, insisted that he be relieved. Governor Hunt admitted that he had made no move toward replacing him and stated that he had wished him to remain. However, if the colonel was insistent he would accept his resignation and have the office taken over by Jan uary l.
 The duty of disbursing officer, which single office Colonel Breen was sup posed 10 fill, calls for little work, con sisting only of signing the pay war rants occasioned by the draft. The re- maining work was supposed to be done by the adjutant general. In Arizona s case, however. that work was detailed by former Governor Campbell to Col ouel Breen. With the change in that office in a day or two, however, much of that work will be taken over by Ad- jutant General Harris.
 A disbursing officer will be named who will give bond in the sum of $1000O.
 T will be very glad to be relieved of the work, said Colonel Breen last night after it had been ascertained that his resignation would be accepted. Tt has been a long, hard drag and I am willing 10 give someone else a chance
 Colonel Breen's home is in Flagstaff where he is editor and owner of the Coconino Sun. Since last May. Colonel and Mrs. Breen have taken residence in Phoenix
