 The mobilization of the National Guard units in eleven yesterday and today preliminary to their dispatches either to the camps to Europe, again serves emphasize the efficiency with which the federal government is conducting all military affairs connected with this
 Although the Guard has been only partially as sembled is still home stations and has not been Washington dispatches declare arrangements for the dispatch substantial endorsements of these troops overseas already being discussed.
 The speed with which the administration has moved in this crisis the decision displayed by the War Department in the handling of all its problems and the that has attended it's efforts all deserving of the highest praise. Although certain distressing deficiencies have yet been remediedas instance, in the matter of artillery the record of past four months is of continued efficiency and productive labor
 Where the errors of the past have not been died, part the failure to improve conditions due insurmounable obstacles Artillery, for in stance, cannot be manufactures overnight. However against this may be the fact that the problem of providing sufficient tentage which threatened to serious has been remedied, todays dispatches declar ing full supply is available"
 The government has tackled gigantic problem with courage, energy and ability It has profited by of it's allies and has benefited by their ad vice. The fact that it has done in four months than military experts believed possible is directly attributable the fact that it has consistently dis played these qualities in all it's arrangements for strengthening the nations military arm.

Judge Wickersham presented his side of the Dele gateship election contest to the subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary committee in far abler man. than the make-beleve lawyer who is writing edi- oral screeds for the Dispatch has it. Yet the two members of tbe subcommittee who pres en Senators Walsh and Colt, told Judge Wickersham that his contention absurd and that Judge Jen- nings right Senator Walsh in his discussion with Judge Wickersham, told the latter that he had tried a score of such cases lawyer and Senator Colt, who had been Rhode Island Judge before becoming United States Senator. told him that he familiar with the law and practice in contest Both men had read Judge Jennings opinion, and both thought it conclusive.
 Judge Wickersham had every opportunity to be heard in Judge Jennings and he and his friends given ample time for appeal to higher court

THE MAYOR AND THE COUNCIL.

The recent actions of Mayor Valentine are in. explanable Particularly his of the purchase of site for the fishing industry His actions in this matter have been rankly inconsistent, say least and they not explained by his veto message.
 When the fisheries question first preached ih Juneau no one apparently enthusiastic than the Mayor. He proessed to be for it strongly. and he went to considerable pains in preparing plans for the development of the Mann Shatuck property There talk then of the illegality of any in debtedness that might be connection with invest in place for fish berth have their carfoes handled he anxious city under take the establishment of distribution plant for an electric lighting system He working for both prop. ositions
 But Mayor Valentines objections the site for the fisheries industry go further than the expense Notwithstanding that he has done great deal of talking about the need for floats and docks for the fishermen during the last few years he said in his veto message Monday night that the city now has docks and floats sufficient for her needs.
 The Empire congratulates the members of the City Council for promptly overriding the Mayors veto on the fisheries site purchases They acted in of progress They voted to make Juneau bigger and better-bigger and better for everybody owns property here, for everybody in business here for everybody who works here
 clear conception of what it what the people want and one that is unafraid. To up tree, it looks as if the Mayor riding for a fall.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

Juneau, Alaska, July 24. To the Editor:
 1 notice in last evenings issue of The Empire a dispatch from Boston under date line of the 23rd referring to the announcement of the Chris tian Science Board of Directors with reference to the Military Service Act. lhasmuch as the dispatch is meagre and does not give the complete state ment of the Christian Science Board of Directors, thereby in a way giv. ing an inadequate impression of the scope of their announcement, I take the liberty of handing you herewith the announcement which was print ed at the direction of the Board in the Christian Science Sentinel of July IA, 1917, and would appreciate you giving space to this letter and the enclosed announcement

 It is not expected that any great number of Americans Europeans in America will the length that Lampas has gone to demonstrate their devotion the flag of freedom.

The fact that it is not necessary makes the more brilliant the example of unselfish devotion which is. 70 far, unique and which may remain so.

CD as practitioners; CD as readers i; (3) as conscientious objectors. The question of enlistment seems to be so very personal and individual that it must be worked out by each one on the basis of his own demonstra- tion, but in view of the approaching draft and in response to inquiries lysis of the Military Service Act may be helpful to those concerned. The pertinent parts of the Military Service Act are as follows: "Regu- lar or duly ordained ministers of re- hgion shall be exempt from the selective draft herein prescribed; and nothing in this act shall be con- strued to require or compel any per son to serve in any of the forces herein provided for who is found to be a member of any wellorganiZed religious sect or organization at pres. ent organized and existing, and whose existing creed or principles forbid its members to participate in war in any form, and whose religious con- vlctions are against war or partici- patton therein according to the creed or principles of said religious or ganizations, but no person so exemp- ted shall be exempted from service in any capacity that the President shall declare to be noncombatant" /" Students who at the time of the approval of this act are preparing for the ministry in recognized theo' logical or divinity schools" are equal ly exempt with ministers. Another exempt class is persons engaged in industries, including agriculture, found to be necessary to the main tenance of national interest during the emergency Still another is those in status with respect to persons dependent on them for SUD- port which renders their exclusion or discharge advisable"
 Taking this Act as whole, it might be said that those practition- CTS whose cards appear in The Christian Science Journal might be regarded as exempt, but that only
 
 Act would exempt other practition- CTS or readers. In this connection it might be said that all Christian Scientists should be ministers, but no class is set apart in the manner called regular" It should be said also that a Christian Scientist could not claim exemption as a conscien- tous objector, without misrepresent ing Christian Science, for in the church tenets or platform of the Christian Science church no specific reference is made to participation in war.
 The allowance of claims for ex- emption will be in the judgment or discretion of local exemption boards subject to the right of appeal to similar boards of higher authority, and the question of exemption from military service is one to be worked out between the individual and the tist is a true patriot because he is learning what patriotism is, and his real helpfulness to his country and to his fellow men of all nations increases in proportion to his under standing of Christian Science
 Speaking of this subject our rev cred leader, Mary Baker Eddy. tells us Miscellany, p. 277), But if our nations right or honor were seized, every citizen would be soldier and woman would be armed with power girt for the hour"
