GEN. .PERSHING AND STAFF GIVEN GREAT OVATION |
 ON ARRIVAL IN PARIS

PARIS Thursday, June 14.-The only event that ever approached the enthusiasm expressed at the recep ton of MaorGenera Pershng and his staff the rival of King George in this city in 1914.
 Thousand of American flags waved from as many windows French girls with American flags to their breasts and their arms filled with flowers, bought from their scanty savings fairly fought for chance to get near enough to the machines to hu their offerings into the laps and on the shoulders of the astOnhed American officers The Americans had not imagined the heights to which Partisan enthusiasm could rise
 Boys men, girls and old women struggled to jump on the running board of Pershngs car in an effort to shake his hand The demonstration was the more sgnl- fcant because it came from great oupourng of people who for the time being seemed almost to forget that the great war was in progress.

The Courage of Life

The two virtues that help us along most in life are trust and courage, Apart from the tragedies invited by sin and violence and self indulgence, a large part of our trouble comes from anxiety, dlStruSt, apprehension. It was not all frivolity that dictated the an- swer of young girl T'ho, Icing urged to prepare herself for a profession CT def mite work, responded; I'm not going to look ahead and worry. l can do lot of useful things. can mend. and make salad, and amuse children. and be pa tient and economical, and help people to enjoy themselves, and l don't be neve nice girls starve." Courage anl faith are always assets. Even if life goes back upon them and fails to come up to expectations the practice of these virtues is just that much to the good, and we have at least not lived In the evil moment until it arrived.

THAT LARGE ORDER FOR STEEL

Thirteen hundred tons of 5V- pound rails were recently ordered for "our railroad," and the con tract was let to the United States Steel Company and the event called for tinkling cymbal and sounding brass. There was much rejoicing in tho land of eternal snow" un- til our statistician got out his pencil, aud then our hopes tobog- ganed to the gravel pit with dull thu". Fifty-pound rails would mean one-hundred pounds to the yard of track laid; and in 41SOO tons there are 2,6OO,0OO pounds; at 100 pounds to the running yard this would equal 26,OOO yards of track this large order" would complete, or about 15 miles. AS the road, when completed, will be somewhere in the neighborhood of STO miles long it will take nearly 30 years to complete it at the rate the contracts for steel are being let. And 5O-pound rails in a country which gets 45 to so be- low will be 8 constant menace to life, as the frost will render them so brittle that they will break un- der the slightest strain. Fifty pound rails are considered too light for Shay logging engine, and they cannot be expected to transport very heavy loads where the frost renders steel as brittle as ice. The steel should be at least heavy enough to stand the immense 5O- ton engines ordered for the road Valdez ProspeCtor, Feb. 15.

CRYING FOR HELP
Lots of It in Alaska But Daily
 Growing Less.

The kidneys often cry for help.
 Not another organ in the whole body more delicately constructed;
 Not enc more important to health
 ThG kidneys are the filters of the blood.
 When they fail the blood be- comes foul and poisonous.
 There can be no health where there is poisoned blood.
 Backache is one of the frequent indications of kidney trouble.
 It is often the kidneys cry for help. Heed it.
 Read what Doan's Kidney Pills have done for overworked kidneys.
 Proof of merit in the following statement:
 c. c. White, barber, 1646 Mis- sion st., Salem, Ore, says: q have been taking Doan's Kidney Pills off and on for number of years and they have never failed to do good work. Standing in one position so much was hard on my back and kidneys. At times I could hardly stand up straight. After I had taken a box or two of Doan's Kidney Pills, my back felt as strong as ever"

THE NATIONAL SPIRIT

War, if it finally comes to the United States, should bring its people 9 needed rebaptism in the uaIicEaI faith. The fatness of q haf celturyQ of peace has relegat- cd patriotism to the backgroun of cur national life. The public mind has not dwelt upon the citi- zeu's duty to the nation because the obIiga ton has been taken for granted. and We have been very busy with personal concerns, with business with commerce, with our daily routine of duty and with the urgent concerns of bread-winning.
 We have assumed that our peace fuI conditions were settled condi- tiCus and that life in America was but the contest of individuals for preferment, and the collective du- ties Of citizenship have been too often forgotten obligations
 But war brings a different aspect. IL has taken England more than two years to rub peace out of its eyes and acquire the war Rerspect- i've. The island life was sodden with he selfishness of peace. As well think of drawing the sun from it's position in the universe as Eng land rom its settled and peaceful position of industry and trade. Yet there has come to the people at last the slow realization that the sovereignty of England might pass 10 aliens. It has dawned upon the masses that they may become tenants of a German landlord, and the national spirit has risen to the danger.
 So with America. though there is no though of changing sovereign ty. The interests of our govern ment, of all our people, have been invaded by foreign nation, and it has become necessary to hold it to account, to defend our authority oyer cur own affairs. Citizens are required to take their minds from their private business to the con cerns Of the nation and all of its people, and the need is bringing an awakening of the national spirit.
 Men and women of America are raising their eyes to their coun- try's flag with g new interest and devotion, and its bright colors ap- pear in a new light.
 We see it thus, with FOlger Me kinsey. the Baltimore poet:
 Every day is the flags birthday,
 Every day it is gleaming, Fresh as a rose on the lips of May
 In it's azure eyrie streaming. Every day it is-break 1t out,
 To the loving winds unbend it! Flag of the nation that leaps wi+h
 shout
 To lift and love and defend it. ''Every day on the rolling tide
 Where the ships Of the line are
 sailing,
 Under the blue of the heavens wide,
 Its stars and stripes go trailing.
