WORKERS HAVE MORE 1T
SI&AE IHhN ANY OTHERS

a strong appeal TO the workingmen
OF this country to participate in the
second Liberty Loan to the fullest ex-
PEAT has been made by William b.
Wilson. secretary Of labor.
Secretary wilson points out that
1.-THE workers have more at stake in
this great conflict than any others.
because it is only III democracy that
the common peoDie can come into their
own"
"Taa great European war in which
we are now Involved came TO the >peo-
pie OF the Western Hemisphere as a
| terrible shock, and to no portion of
the people did it come as a greater
! shock than 10 the wage-earners CT the
United States. they believed in and
wanted international peace, but they
wanted II on basis OF international
justice which would insure the right
Of our people to govern themselves.
When the Imperial German Govern
ment undertook to destroy the lives
OF our people and to impose a rule OF
conduct upon US without our consent
IA places under the Jurisdiction OF the
United States government. there was
no course left but to resist" Secre-
tary Wilson said
"'Fhe workers have more at stake
in this conflict than any others, be-
cause 1t Is only in democracy that
the common people can come into their
own. The greAt privilege is not given
to all Of US to serve our country on
the battlefield or in the trenches, but
there are other ways in which we can
serve and assist those who are privi-
legged to carry our flag on the battle
fields Of Europe ThcsiIupulse of sac
rifice for the common good is sending
Ae Youth of our country into tho
trenches in defense of Liberty, hui
mainly and democracy.
VITO those of US who must Of neces-
sity remain at home to till the soil,
harvest the crops, man the factories,
mines and mills, the way is open For
additional service. We too must make
sacrifices. The men who 60 l3fth to
do battle IN the field must s. 3q1ipped
and sustained. Funds must be forth
coming to furnish the food, the fire.
arms and other supplies for the fght-
ing forces Of the nation. Finances
for that purpose must be secured i'm
mediately from t he sale of bonds.
The workers can help by contributing
their mite.
Combined Efforts Will Win.
II am reminded of the fable of a
great drought when the crops were
wasting for the want Of water, and
one little raindrop said to another in
the clouds, I would like to go down to
The relief of the farmer and his per-
ishing crops, but am so little it would
be useless And another little rain
drop replied, 1t would be useless for
you to go down alone, but let US all
80 down and our combined effort viii
bring the needed relief Teh advice
was accepted and beautiful shower
poured down on the land and the
crops were saved for the harvest.
"And so it is with the workers, The,
funds each has available is but drop,
but all of the drops together can make
q shower of funds that will furnish the
needed supplies, bring Joy to the
hearts Of the boys at the front and
CONSERVATION to our enemies" Secre-
tary Wilson declared

FARM LABORERS ARE READY
BUYERS OF LIBERTY BONDS


One of the big surprises Of the Lib
erty Loan Campaign in rural districts
is the way In which the farm laborers
are responding to the call.
These men neither own farms nor
rent them; they are hired men and
are not considered a thrifty or saving
group, yet thousands Of these laborers
are asking about the loan and how
they can invest on the installment
plan.
The farmers Of the country are thor
oughly awake to the critical situation
confronting the nation and the triple
duty they have taken upon themselves.
is first to produce food, second to loan
money, and third to give their sons
and daughters some evidence Of the
self sacrificing spirit for which the
American farmer is we'll known In the
history Of the country.

AFTER
 RUSSIAN PEACE.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 15.- DelayedD That the German attempt to break down the Russian provi- sional government and to secure a separate peace with Russia is about to prove successful, is the report received at the state department from Petrograd, according to infor- nation given out tonight. The ne gJtiations which are said to be go- ing on have already had the effect of lessening the military effective ness of the Russian army, and in the event that they terminate sue cessfully for the Germans will stop all fighting on the part of the Rus sian troops.
 The announcement comes on the eye of the departure of the Ameri- can commission for Russia. Should the commission reach Petrograd in time. it is thought that the signing of peace terms can be averted.
 CONFIDENCE IN RUSSIA.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., May 16.- Oelayed) Evidence that the United States government has every conf dence that the real Russian demOcra- cy will soon reassert itself despite the Germanophils, is the loan of s1OO,OOO,O0O which has been made to Russia. The confirmation of the report that Foreign Minister Pavel NikolaieviCh Milyukov has resigned his post has not shaken the confi- dence of the administration, as the war experts consider that the pres ent troubles in Russia, following the recent revolution and consequent ov- erturning of the monarchy, are but natural.
 M. Milyukov rendered his resigna- tion yesterday His portfolio as for, eign minister has been taken by M Tereschtenko, minister of finance and M, Kerensky. previously minis ter of justice, has taken charge of the financial duties in the Russian cabinet

MOLLY HAD HIM TREED.

l U. IS lHt llIdoSOI ol lllt
 Fairbanks fire depart ment. She is very frendly with all of the fire boys and with other peo- pie who come around to visit her regularly, bringing such dainties as she Is used to eating, but she is as quick to recognize stranger as most humans. And she also recog- nzes the fact that to the average stranger she possesses more or less terrifying qualities, which fact makes her inclined to show eff whenever she gets a chance.
 Frank Clark was passing through the back yard at the fire hall one day last week. He did not see Molly and she did not see him until he was almost upon her as she lay sleeping, but suddenly she aroused herself into consciousness with d "COl lIldl AltlNlC MI. Sltbih lIIi4ih, and think quickly.
 And he thought, but he did not think in the right way. Fer instead of jumping in a direction where Molly, in her playfulness. could not reach him on her short chain, he jumped right into the right angle corner formed by two buildings.
 And there Molly kept him until help arrived and he was relieved from his predicament. For Molly on her chain, could reach either way from her stake except into the corner, consequently the conner was the only safe place for Mir. Clark to stay. Every time he would start along the side of the building in either direction Molly. from her pc sition on her launches, would play fully reach out paw that certain ly would have caught the man had he attempted to pass. He tried it several times until he finally saw it was useless, so decided to s.ve it up and call for help.
 Which accounts for MT. Clark's chagrin wlen one of the firemen came down from the quarters and, putting his arm around Molly's neck,
