 When I reached the spot where the first three bombs had fallen glass strewed the street for a block. In the middle of the macadam road was shell hole, six or eight feet across and threv deep. Here lay two men in uniform who looked to me to be dead; there a civilian, white haired whom 1 knew had been killed.
 Wonder was a little girl. half her face gone; yOunder a young woman, both feet gone. Our young lieutenant Y. M. C. A. man from Canada, our host for those days, himself wearing the gold stripe on his arm which be- tokens wound, and no longer fit for service in the field, was bending over the wounded. l heard one of the strick- en soldiers moaning: Mother, O moth er' Younder lay two little babies al ready covered with sacking.
 We rushed into a nearby basement where they said there was a wounded woman. Her hip was gashed. A Red Cross nurse appeared from nowhere. Now they were carrying an old lady, shaking with palsy, from a shell of a house. She was eighty if a day. She had a bonnet and gloves. How she man aged thus to array herself for departure from her home or to live at all in her demolished house, is beyond me.
 All this' is what I myself saw, and one pair of eyes sould see only a small corner of the devastated area. Houses wei mere walls. All tne interiors were torn out, as if by fire. A girls school nearby was a wreck.

 Policy of Subiugation
 Thus may be seen the subiugation policy of the nation who disregards all rights, all treaties, and as a free lance assumes the rights of the seas and in actions fears not God nor regards man.
 One of the provisions in that match less address of Jesus Christ in the sinagogue of Nazareth was to give liberty to those who are bound" and if America with her constitution, the greatest ever conceived by the mind of man, can in any measure assist in giv- ing liberty to the bound of earth she will have done Christ like deed.
 While we desire to assist those whose rights have been taken, and whose lib erty is threatened, we must remember that our own liberty is at stake for our national enemies have planned in such a way as all through our industrial and political organizations German spies are q. less when we come to know that the following action was taken by that gov ernment and went on record on the 22nd day of Judy, 1913.

 Safe Guarding Constitution
 Ours a constitution which guarantees liberty to every man, liberty, a free dom like that of a child wandering at will through it's mothers flower garden, a liberty like that of the bird as she flies through the air, enjoying all the air of which she is capable.
 She guarantees to us protection, placing behind the humblest man or woman, or child every other man and every pound of led. and powder, and every dollar of the United States,
 She safeguards our domestic or home life, for if there is one institution which the American holds sacred it is the home The place where the child is loved and protected. Home, the place where love is the crowning jewel of every pleasure. Home, where the weary man coming in from his day of toll, and the hand brushes the worlds un~ generous scorn from his brow. Home, where the young is given in holy we'd lock, and the song of the bride and the bridegroom is heard. Home, where at eyentide, the winds whisper low and the golden chord is broken and the weary sink to rest, these our constitution guarantees.

MAKE CALL FOR ESTIMATES ON
 INLET DREDGE
Commission Getting at Cost of Improvement
 Asked Up Inlet

For the purpose of reaching an estimate as to how much it would cost to dredge slip sufficient for handling coal at Anchorage during the summer season, bids have been called for by the Alaskan Engineering Commission, for an IS or 20-inch sue ton dredge.
 tnsistent demands from Anchorage for harbor facilities there have been met by the commission in the employ ment of William Gerig, a harbor en- gineer of the widest experience, and formerly associated with the Panama canal force, to make complete esti- mate of the probable costs of such an improvement.
 In a recent announcement by Capt. MearS, ne stated that no improve ments would be made until after the findings of Gerig had been passed up on.
 No provision for harbor improve ments at Anchorage was included in this years estimate and it is no; probable that the government, in veiw of the countrywide protest against "pork barrel" appropriations will countenance any such waste in view of the short season that the upper in- let is open.

COAST TOWNS TAKE
 PRECAUTION TO STOP
 SPREAD OF MEASLES

Strict quarantine has been ordered by the territorial board of health, in an effort to break the epidemic of measles which has swept up the coast of Alaska.
 Health Officer Romig, who returned from Valdez last night, states that the epidemic has developed in a viru- lent form in coast towns to the south ward and rigid measures are being taken to stop it.
 Some years back similar epidemic swept through Alaska and nearly an- initiated the natives to the westward and in the Arctic sections.
 Official instructions appear in an ad- vertisement on page five of this issue and all persons are ordered to obey them.
 No child of school age will be allow ed to leave Seward without permit from the Marine surgeon, and on ad- vice from the territorial authorities all children coming in on the boats will be quarantined for certain uum- Der of days. Similar precautions are being taken elsewhere
