YUKON WOMEN
 AFTER V0IE

Toronto, Jan. 22-The women of the Yukon are, like their sisters in the East, organizaing for political emancipation and are circulating througp the Women's Protective League of that territory, a petition for the extension of the franchise to them. There is danger of the foreign vote overwhelming that of the Bri-ish-born; hence the appeal to Ottawa for the franchise, which, the women of Yukon believe, is nec- Cssary to protect the interests of he country, especially during the war, and to enable them to assist in the reconstruction movement when peace is established.
 It is pointed out that the women cf the Yukon territory were denied tie righ- to vote on the liquor ref erendum last summer, which re suited iu the vets carrying the ter ri'ory.

 ALASKA PORTS

Washington, Jan. 26 - Brigadier GeUeral Erasmus M.sWeaYer, chief of the Coast Artillery Division of the United States Army, when the proposed plans for the fortification of Alaska barbors were submitted to him, immediately called atten- ton to the fact that in the fortifi- eaton bill now before congress, no provision had been made for the fortification of the Alaska coast.
 In speaking of the proposed bill, Gen. Weaver stated that the plans fnr the protection by invasion of the Alaska coast should be taken into consideration and that no time should be lost in doing so.
 General Weaver said:-"My per sonal opinion is that this matter ought to be taken up Immediately, and given every possible considera- tion, as one of our live projects" The plans referred to by Gen WeaY- CT are those for the proposed for tification of Cook Inlet, Resurrec- tinn Bay, and other approachse to the government railway terminals.

NOT AIMED AT MR. LEVER.

Greenville News.
In the News of July q appeared a
cut of Representative A. F. Lever with
the following statement under it:
This is the chairman of the House
Committee OF Agriculture to whom
the president wrote sharp letter aI
criticism for adding an amendment TO
the administration food bill, asking
for a ioint committee to supervise war
expenditures"
This may have caused an entirely
erroneous impression to the effect
that the sharp" criticism was. direct
ed at MIR. Lever The inscription was
unfortunately put by the makers ol
the picture. Mr. Lever did not put
the Objectionable amendment into the
Food Control Bill. He has absolute
ly nothing to do with it. 1t was in
serted into the measure in the Senate
by Senators Weeks of Massachusetts
and Owen of Oklahoma. Thereupon
Mr.. Lever wrote the president asking
what his attitude was toward the
amendment. It was in reply to this
letter that the President wrote MT
Lever in "sharp" criticism OF the
amendment, (not of him), at the same
time thanking him for his courtesy
in requesting his views and urging

NUMBER 25S.

The number 25S is now part OF
the history of the United States.
There are many famous numbers IN
the history of all lands. Some OF
them are dates, some refer to distance,
some to length of time and some to
groups of citizens or soldiers. But
among them all No. 25S is unique. 1t
is the first number drawn in the Sc
lection of an army of more than
half million men from total Of over
ten millions, to meet the tide or
German, brutality and autocracy which
has already disturbed the peace OF
the world and which threatens the
liberty of generations yet unborn.
That is what No. 25S means IN the
story of America When it was taken
from the glass globe by the secretary
of war, pasesd along to others and
finally read aloud, 4,557 Americans
stepped to the front and answered
"Ready." Four and one-half thousand
men-the first line of defense OF the
great new national army-repiled 70
the call of No 25S. More than half
of these will probably be selected for
service. Few men can resist the ma
tons appeal for defenders when II
comes to them first. 1t gives them a
place which they would loaah to re-
linquish to another.
From all sections of the country
have come reports of the satisfaction
felt by those men whom No. 25s call
ed to the colors. And they may well
be proud OF the distinction.
When the war is over there Will De

of 25s'' will top them all. And later
on the Sons and Daughters of No
25S will come and they, too, will per
petuate by their organization Its

coon dogs and a yellow mule named
jimmy. and on the rear of his ten-acre
farm there were-and are four pecan

than ink and he can tell quality
folks as far as he can see them. But
the same token he has a supreme
contempt for white wash, and when ne

in Georsia or anywhere along the Cen

of old chaps like Jerry and they tneI

Jerry is shiftless and admiss that
no is "natchal bawn liar" and the
watermelons that graced his table on
the nights of chilling dinners dad not
grow on the vines of his landed es-
tates. But lawsey massey, Jerry
would go limping barefoot to help ou'
his white friends and sit up all nlga1

"He was fairly happy and content
