SCHOOL BILL IS
 BEING DEBATED
Special to The CitiZen)

JUNEAU, Apr. 11.-Again this af- ternoon the house went into com mittee of the whole and took the school bill under discussion. The de bate of this measure lasted all through the afternoon session without any agreement a being reached.
 The paramount question now seems to be whether to have elective or appointive boards. Several of the representatives have expressed them selves as believing that the people of the territory should have an op- portunity to vote on this question. The measure will probably be taken up again tomorrow.

(Special to The CitizenD

JUNEAU, Apr. 1.-The prohibi tionists both inside and outside of the territory are actively engaged in trying to hasten the date of Al aska's entrance to the ranks of the dry states. Both legislators and sen ators are being swamped by cable grams asking that the dry law be made effective July l, and in case that is impossible to prohibit the shipment of liquors into the terri tory after that date.
 Most of the legislators are content to let the matter stand as it has been fixed by congress. and there is not likely to be any stampede in making laws as suggested by the wires received.

 THE ROAD COMMISSION.
 When seen last night concerning the appropriation for Alaska roads and trails, Superintendent R. J. Som mers said that he had heard nothing concerning its passage from official sources. He is sure, how ever, that the only Alaska appropria- tion in the army bill was that for the road commission.
 The passage of the appropriation means that the usual amount of summer work will be carried out, and preparations for this will be started as soon as he hears from headquar- ters. While the plans for the sea sons work are understood to be out lined, they have not been made pull lie vet

The storm has driven the shore ice. along which the racers were to travel. out to sea. and 1t is believed that all Of them. with the exception of Paul Kjegstadt who has been located. have been swept along on the fIoes. In any event. the storm has had the effect of delaying the race at least ten days.
 Kjcgstadt was found today. sepa- rated from his team. about seven miles from Solomon. by the Council mail carrier. One of the dogs was dead and the remainder scattered around on the tundra for consid- erable distance Kjegstadt himself expresses the opinion that the re mainder of the racers have been swept out to sea on the ice. He says that they became lost from each other in the storm while travel ing on the trail leading along the shore ice, and that he headed his team for the shore. and therefore knows nothing regarding the where abouts of the remainder of the racers.
 Harry Aver and John Stevenson have departed to search for the re- matnder of the teams As fast as they are located the drivers will be given instructions to return to Nome for another start. to be made in about ten days,

Some Sa 1:l,ics Are Wise
Some of our American officers have
al the privilege OF watching the
gigantic preparations necessary for an
up-to-date Haig push, as well as the
thing itselfe- 1t is unfortunate that
more of them cannot be spared from
the training camps for this educational
experience. To the soldier schooled
only at West Point, or III the Cuban,
Philippines or Mexican campaigns,
study of the inside workings OF the
great British military machine, 1917
model, while it is evolving one of
these pushes, is bound to be tremend-
ously instructive.
Fix 1t To Run
To the untutored civilian it is be-
the towns, roads and fields of northern
France, from the channel bases to the
battle-lines, seems at casual view a
huge, intricate mass of disjointed junk
with a lot of men aimlessly tinkering
and potting about, trying to fix it up
so it will run. But closer inspection
along with sympathetic instruction, re-
veals compactness, and coordination,
and terrible power masterfully direct
ed. And soon one learns that all this
tinkering and pottering is for another
purpose. 1t is not to make the ma
chine run, but to make it run faster
and smoother and further.
Tommy Is Changed Too
This machine is no more like the
feeble, wheezy contraption of three
years ago than the Tommy of today
resembles his comrade of the first hun
dred thousand. Both were doubtless
the best that could be procured at
short notice. They did the work cut
out for them as we'll as could be ex-
pected in the circumstances; but the
shortcomings of both were manifest
Each has progressed UNNECESSARILY.
Tommy is now scientific special
lied fighting man. He has learned
and is learning every day-tricks of
er's men. Many of these he invented
himself. Others he has acquired from
the Germans-but he never fails to i'm
prove on the latter. as for example in
the fine arts of sniping, gassing, liq- |
grenading and camouflage
Knows He's a Better Man
The British army of today is strong |
for individuality The enlisted man |
as we'll as the officer, is encouraged to |
develop himself. Whenever he shows |
aptitude in any particular line he is |
given opportunity to let his talents
have full swing This keeps him in
terested in his work. British soldiers
mostly talk shop They take only cas-
ual notice of things outside the big
business in which they are engaged.
Tommy is cheerful because he is
confident He knows he is a better
man than the Boche. He hasn't the
slightest doubt about the outcome.
Wherein he differs from some of the
weakened folks at home who, fear
ng a stalemate, would be beguiled by
,ffor, of Cormap-mada paope
These are some of the reasons why
he British fighting machine has
reached it's present pinnacle of eff
,iency.

range the magnificent machinery of the
British army to realize its tremendous
power, and watch Tommy working,
and fighting, and playing, to under
stand his splendid spirit.
The Miracle of the British
It is the immensely of it all that
most impresses; next, the miracle
whereby Britain in three short years
has been able to go further in know
ledge of the art and business of war
did in nearly a century. Since 1914,
the Boche has progressed steadily in
the science of man-killing the Briton
has caught up with him and now has
passed him. Today there is scarcely )
feature of organization or equip I
ment, nor device of offense or de-

Things Still to Learn
No, the British haven't learned to
dig and build defenses such as these.
They haven't had to. But they have
learned how to turn them into death
traps for their occupants, to assume
the tenacy themselves, and protect
chem from recapture. They have done
more than this. They combeiled Hind

paralysis The Hetzel home has been
quarantined by DR.. W. A. Pike. hui.
at present there is no certainty that
the babe has the dread malady. Syn,p-
toms of the disease made themselves
evident yesterday morning when DR.,
Pike was called to examine the child,
following which he ordered the home
be quarantined Immediately. The
left arm and left leg of the little girl
are effected. altho there Is no par.
alysis in evidence at the present time
Every precaution has been taken by
DIR. Pike to prevent the spread of the
disease and for this reason he ordered
that the home BE closed without de
lay.
This is the first case to be report
ed in this city since last summer
when the state board of health de-
clared that an epidemic existed in
the county.
DR.. Pike, Ottawa's health officer
has ordered local physicians to keep
a strict surveillance on all illness and
whenever there are any symptoms OF
the disease that the homes be quaran
tined Immediately,
While State Board OF Health author
tiles express fear that the epidemic
may manifest itself in this locality
again this summer, Ottawa physicians
do not anticipate there will be as
many cases as we're reported last
