WOMEN GREAT HELP IN WAR;
DANIELS SAYS WORK COULD NOT
PROCEED WITHOUT THEM.
Asserts That Best Results Como
Through OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Thanks to Women.

Washington. Dec. AT a meeting
of the women's advisory committee
on navy auxiliaries, in the headquar-
ters of the American Red Cross, Sec
retary Of the Navy Daniels said, in
the course Of an address:
THE women are in the war because
war cannot be conducted without
them. Across the water in the early
42S-Canaryy Dec. TWO
days of the war there were modified
organizations of patriotic women and
patriotic men. They organized in the
cities and states to serve and to help,
but they largely failed in their pur-
pose because of their division of in
terest. They lacked uniform and
co-ordinating head.
Il think it time. everybody in Amer
lea should be a member of an organ
ization and helping the army and
navy.
in getting the coordination we
must not lose the spontaniety and the
enthusiasm and the zeal of individ-
uals, but it must be harnessed to or
ganization.
you know that this navy is made
up Of boys. The average age is twen-
ty-one, perhaps nineteen. Sixteen
year-old boys rushed into the navy
and they said they were eighteen in
order to get in, and I have no doubt
that If they made a false statement
the recording angel blotted it out.
so you are working for the boys.
and that is the appeal to the mothers
OF this country, you are working for
boys. and l come to thank you and
to join with you and the heads of the
Red Cross who are charged with this
great work"

SEWARD, ALASKA, TUESDAY, JANUARY l6, 1917

Just at present it should be remembered the accuSa- ton against Secretary McAdoo and others has better foundation than hearsay Lawson has been able to say no more than that someone told him what someone else had said The fact that Lawson told Chairman Henry to his face that he spoke of the leak really nothing material as there was evidently rmor about leaks and Henry or anyone else could be excused for speaking in such a manner. We shall probably know today what opinion to form but certainly the cables yesterday con- veyed no proof of wrong doing. All of remember well Lawson's articles in the magazne-Eveybody's if mem cry is correct-n which he spent months rantng about the exposures he was about to make and finished up like an exploded gas bag.
 Lawson, although a successful stock gambler who has made millions to be torn by the ambition to get into the lmelght It should also not be forgotten that Wall Street did everything in its power defeat Wilson and his party and may be looking forward to the next election and may be already forging the weapons with which to accomplish the end of the Democratic party All that Lawson has told us yet, unless todayS cables bring further information is that his banker told him that McAdoo was responsible for the leak. This banker and McAdoo are still to be heard from.
 cable coming last night too late for publication says that Henry declared Ambassador Bemstortf had made two millions by the leak If this proven and there no reason why it could not it will mean of course that Bern stors recall will be demanded It will also mean that McAdoo will be disgraced and the cabinet of President Wilson and his administrative machine generally degad ed in the eyes of the whole people, This will affect the honor of the President himself but it will create world scandal such as has been only associated hitherto with countries like Mexico.
 It is safe to say though that Lawson with his usually irresponsible haste has made charges which he can never drive home One go further and say it is also safe to assume that if McAdoo has been ndiscreet nothing worse can be charged against him. He certainly never deber- aely gave away such secret when its divulgence he must know involved the father of his wife fatally threat ened the administration of which he himself is part ruined his honor and betrayed his own party into the hands of the enemy Lawson and his friends have lied or bundered It would be too terrible to harbor any other belief
