VENICE Is ONE OF
 MOST HISTORIC SPOTS
 IN THE WHOLE WORLD

Venice, one of the most historic spots in all the world, now threaten ed by the, Huns, owes its origin to early Hun barbarian. It was founded by refugees and fsherfolk who sOugh, am asylum from the Huns the isolated shadows and mud banks of the lagoons, and its real birthday dates from the year 425 Though many of the priceless art treasures have been removed to Rome, accord ing to press dispatches, it is impos- sible to remove architectural master pieces represented in many of the fa- nous buildings. One can well believe as indicated in the dispatches, that Italians will not make a determined defense within the walls of the city itself, for fear of damage from crash ing shells to treasures of history and art. Normally Venice has civilian population of nearly 100000. Among the numerous buildings famed in his tory is that of the Church of St. Mark, which is unique among the buildings of the world for it's unpar- alIeled richness of material and dec oration. Under a former law every merchant trading to the East was compelled to bring back something for the adornment of the fane. In addition to art treasures, Venice has become an important military center since the war, which no doubt is an additional incentive for the Huns to try and occupy the place

CHIEF ENGINEER
 OF SATURN HAS
 VERY BAD HABIT
Original Dances of Navy Man Has Bad Effect Upon a Prominent Seward Citizen but He Gets
 There Just the Same

On Tuesday morning after the Sa-
 urn's dance, prominent local attor- ncy. who has been considered one of the best dancers in Alaska, was dis turbed in his work by considerable noise in the next room. The noise constantly increased in volume and finally came to a crisis in set of shufling lcaping fotsteps.
 Patience having ceased to be a vir- tue this young attorney made an in vestigation. He found that the noise originated in the room of a prominent local fnancier. This gentleman ap- peared to be initiating, at one and the same time, both Vernon Castle and Salome and accompanied the rythm of his steps with various gestures and grimaces, which appeared all the more wonderful inasmuch as he was clad in paiamas.
 As soon as he was intruded upon he furnished the information that he was only preparing for the Red Cross dance and was trying to learn a few of the unique and interesting move mcnts of the wonderful exhibition of terpischorean de,terity exhibited by the Chief Engineer of the Saturn be- fore a select and appreciativc aud fence after the Saturn dance.

OUR SUBSTITUTES

It was formerly the privilege in time of war, for those who were drafted for service Co employ a sub stitute to so 70 the front in their place. It is very probable that the substitute in many instances did bet ter service at the front than the man who sent him would have done, yet there was some odium cGnging about the reputation ot a man who hired a substitute to do his actual fighting. Conditions have now changed. No substitutes are hired by those called to the colors, but by another spring the American people who remain at home by force of necessity will have possibly million substitutes in France offering their lives in the de- fense of those who arc for various reasons compelled to remain aahome.
 The aid of those who remain at home is absolutely cssentia, to the success of those who have gone abroad. hence repeated calls are made upon all of us to contribute Co the comfort and success of those who are enduring the hardships of trench life on the battle field. Among those in France now, some actually engaged in facing the enemy many others be- ing drilled for service, are hundreds and thousands of young men who have never before been far from the places of their birth, and in order to make life a little more cheerful for all these our substitutes, We are con- tributing to the Red Cross, and in ad- dition to hospital supplies are also asked to furnish money to make up one hundred packages composed of useful articles for the soldiers at the front. In doing this we are not only adding to their comfort and efficiency, but we are also making for the com ,inued safety of our homes.
 Prompt action on our part is as important to the success of the sol diers at the front as is their quick and unerring movements in an attack upon the enemy. What we do for our substitutes leaves no odium upon the reputation of those giving the aid, but on the other hand contributes immessurably to the success of what we believe is essential in making the world a safe place in which to live.
 Let us do our part as completely and promptly as our circumstances will permit,

STLZER,S LEADERSHIP
(Juneau Empire)

The nomination Of Charles A. Sul- ger for Delegate to Congress, and the consequent selection of him for the leadership of the Alaska Democratic party, was in response to a demand tha fg. be said Co be unanimous. As .y." .- became known that he would accept the nomination and at tcndaut leadership, there was rcjoic- ing among the Democrats of every Judicial Division. No convention any where at any time was more nearly rl ,ponsive to public opinion than tn, convention which nominated Mr. Sul- ger.
 That lIr. Sulzcr Is today rccogniz- ed with practical unauimity as the leader of the Wilson administrative forces ju.AIaska and that enthusiasm in his leadership is greater at this moment than at any previous time since it was thrust upon him are well known facts. That is known every where in Alaska and in Juneau bet ter than anywhere The attempts to make it appear otherwise are not meant for local consumption. They are sky-rockets sent up with the hope that they might be seen from afor.
