Reports Encouraging.

Secretary Tuckerman reported yester-
day that up to Friday night the total sub
scriptions to the Red Cross war service
fund amounted to s1S9S94.24.
Henry b. F. Mcfarland, chairman of
the finance committee, said last evening
that the additions made to the fund yes
terday carried it well over S192.000. and
that the interest had been quickened by
the announcement that our troops will be
sent to France. He said he looked for
much larger contributions next week. The
actual and pressing necessity for the fund
would. he said. stimulate the giving, not
only in Washington, but all over the
country through the 900 chapters.
The Red Cross war service fund was
presented at the Board of Trade shad
bake yesterday by Myer Cohen of the
executive committee. Chairman Mac
farland was indisposed, and Admiral

RECITAL BY MABELLE PARSHALL BURNETT
 WAS A RARE TREAT
Program Covered Wide Range and Was of a High Order of
 Artistic Excellence

The benefit recital by Mabel!e Parshall Burnet. reader, given un- der the auspices of the Red Cross at the Redmen's hall last Thursday evening was an event-an event Ill a class by itself.
 There was large attendance. and not one in the audience who was not keen in his appreciation ot the readers $ wonderful ability.
 The peopleof Wrangell areindeed fortunate in being able to claim as their own a lady Of the professional class-one who has been received with great appreciation wherever she has appeared. Many whowere present Thursday evening have paid for high priced tickets to re- citals in the States that would not rank with the one given by Mrs. Burnet. She is an artist. Her style and manner of reading are little short of perfection ltselt. Her graces ot intonation and gest- ure show complete fusion of thought and feeling with the verbal expression. while Ter control ot the muscles which produce the facial expression is nothing less than marvellous.
 The program covered wide range and every number received hearty applause. Tnalast number was patriotic recitation, Anerl- ca, ." at the close of which Miss Margaret Bronson struck the notes on the piano of My Country tis ot Thee,' the audience rising and singing the national anthem as the patriotic ending of patriotic event.
 In so unselhshly giving the public the benefit of her art for the Red Cross Mrs. Burnet has doubt less made the greatest individual contribution to that worthy cauae that has been made by any one in Alaska.
 \ unique feature of the recital was the ushers. Four charming young ladies, Misses Florence Billion, Amanda Horgheim, Edna Sinclair, and Irene Coulter, dressed as Red Cross nurses, attended to the ushering in a most creditable manner.

En dorses Riggs for Governor

Thomas Riggs, h., citizen and resident of the Fourth Division. and member of the Alaska En- gjneering Commission, has been endorsed for the Governorship of Alaska by Democratic National Committeeman Thomas J. Dono- hue, since the refusal of Judge Jennings and others to be can. didates for the appointment, and the consent of Mir. Riggs to ac- cept the appointment had been obtained.
 Such 8 change would mean that MT. Riggs would quit posi- tior that pays $10,00O year and expenses to take one that pays S7, 900 year.
 Mir. Donohoe accuses Gov. Strong of party treachery for at tempting to give former Delegate James Wickersham a certificate of election as Delegate to Congress, which he could not do without ignoring the opinion of Attorney General George Grigsby on questions of legality that came before the canvassing board.

A PATRIOTIC DUTY

Every citizen of Wran- eell and surrounding coun- try, and every alien in whose heart there is a spark of pa- triotism for the land of his adoption, should participate in the observance of Memo nal Day in Wrangell next Wednesday, May 30.
 Not since the days of Lin coin has there been a time when it was so eminently fitting and proper that we pay suitable tribute to the soldiers of the Civil War the men who settled with the sword a question of principle over which no oth- CT tribunal had jurisdiction.
 Memorial Day, which is always filled with sentiment, is this year fraught with deeper meaning than ever before. The fact that our country recently entered into the great war of na- tions to fight for the ulti- mate peace of the world and the liberation of it's peoples has put Us in a state of mind to enter whole heartedly into the Memorial closer vance. This year we can better understand the les sons Of the past, and better appreciate the period of peace which we have en- joyed the most of our lives, and which was won by men who were willing to die that the Unicn might prevail.
 Today the thought of ''one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all, causes every American worthy of the name to feel a warmer thrill of Ameri- canism, and a desire to pay suitable tribute to our sol dier dead men who meas ured up to the full stature of American manhood and fulfilled the highest duty of American citizenship by giving to their country the best they had, the best that any man has-their own lives.
 Throughout the nation the Memorial Day observance this year will surpass those of other years in interest and meaning. Every resi- dent of Wrangell and the surrounding country should participate in the local cere- monies. Let the day be ob- served in Wrangell with a true and abiding realization of its essential solemnities. !. ... ...
