GOOD CHANGE TO ENLIST.

Young Man. your country needs you!
 Never in its history has your Ma tion been more in need of strong, vir- ile, patriotic citizens.
 The President has called for volun- teers for the army and navy. and while the response has been generous there is still an urgent demand for more men.
 The pay is good and the chance to see active service may never again present itself.
 Promotion is rapid, according to your ability, and you have chance to be one of those whose names will go down to posterity as Doing Things"
 Capt. Nolan and Lieutenant New love will receive your application at any time upon presentation at their office at the Signal Corps building, and your fare will be advanced to the States.
 If you desire to serve the grandest Country and the best Flag the world has ever known, call and put your name down as one of their noble de- lenders.
 If you can be spared from your home and family become one of a number of companionable fellows who have already volunteered.
 Time is precious; enlist now!

.Arlputated Arm Replaced.

LONDON, May 9.--The Daily News states that a surgical operation was performed on a son-in-law of James Grady, a member of parliament. re- gently that has no annals in surgery.
 He was severely wounded at the front some months ago and it was found necessary to amputate one of his arms. The surgeon carried out the daring experiment of removing the injured part of bone, then attaching the arm again and sewing it together.
 The operation was so successful that the patient can use his arm again. He is able to lift cup of tea slowly to his mouth. The only thing noticeable is that the injured arm is slightly shorter than the other.

WHO SHOULD ENLIST.

The wisdom of Alaskans enlisting for the war is a subject for general discussion these days. It is conced- ed there are no more men in the ter ritory now than are needed for the various development projects under way. Also that copper, fish, coal and gold mined in the territory comprise "war supplies of inestimable value to the nation.
 With this situation in view it is self evident that those actively engaged in Alaskan development are of more value to the country here than in the army.
 Young men not engaged in voca- tions of particular value to the terri tory. however. cannot do better than to answer their country's call.
 Every branch of the service is open, but there is special demand for gasoline engineers.
 This is a war of gasoline engines. There are m otor trucks, motor troops transports, motor sub chasers. motor airplaEes, motor driven batteries, mo- tor ambulances, motorcycles and auto mobiles in endless procession.-Sew ard Gateway

CONGRESS TO RELIEVE
 MINER AND HOMESTEADER

GERMANS WARN DUTCH
 AGAINST UNITED STATES

AMSTERDAM, May 9.--Die Post of Berlin. in an article today says that many Dutch East Indian prod ucts like tin, oil tea and tobacco now are being shipped direct to the United States, instead of via Holland, which thereby lose huge transit profits. The German papers say that Americans are actively promoting this new trade and it discerns symptoms similar to those that led Cuba to cut loose from Spain.
 With the United States and Japan struggling for mastery in the Pacific, Die Post sees a menacing danger to Hollands colonial authority.

 "I do not think that the Turks are the actual instigators of this gross violation of the rules of civilized war fare. All our information indicates that the Bulgarians are the prime movers and the Turks only incidental beneficiaries of the traffic.
 The girls are too young to be of any use. for laboring purposes be- sides, neither Turkey nor Bulgaria is seriously handicapped for labor, and in Turkey the use of young women for outdoor work IS practically unknown.

 GLASCOW.-Th ship builders Of Great Britain, who soon will be turn ing out virtually nothing else but standard ships and war vessels, nave one advantage over the shipbuilders of the United States that will be hard to overcome. They have nearly all their materials at their back doors.
 From the decks of ships in one Of the yards in the north of England, TOT instance. everything used in the con struction of vessels is within sight. Iron is extracted from hills that look to be almost across the street. Coal comes from the same place. on the other side of the yard arc great coke ovens. smelters, furnaces and rolling mills. Plates and steel forms may be carried from the mills to the ships under construction in carts drawn by horses. A single company extracts the orc. prepares 1t with its own fuel and sends 1t away from its own piaht as finished ships ready for the sea.
 There are many such examples here in the north. The success Of more than one of the shipbuilding concerns may be partially traced to the prox- unity of materials used.
 So great k the supply at the dis
