Any man who is anxious to enlist under the Stars and Stripes to fight the Germans, but has been unable to do so be- cause of the army and navy rules barring those with pro- nounced defects of speech, may cheer up, for the government has hit upon a scheme to overcome the difficulty. The person to whom the officials at Washing ton have turned to straighten out this particular matter is Frederick Martin, director of speech improvement, of New York city, under the direction of the Board of Education and director of the clinic for speech defects at the College of the City of New York.

CAPT. MEHAFFEY IS AT VALDEZ; ROAD IS
 IN GOOD CONDITION

The Valdez-Fairbanks road is in excellent condition with the excep- tion of about miles of the high way near Paxon. This is the in- formation received by General Wilds F. Richardson today from Captain J. C. Mehaffey and w. R. Waugh, who arrived at Valdez and Fairbanks today.
 Captain Mehaffey came from the interior to the coast and MT. Waugh went from Valdez to the interior. meeting near Richardson. They re- ported that the rains in the inter- for have been very light since the middle of July, and that in fact there has been practically no rain to speak of.
 Paxon was found to be badly rut- ted. owing to heavy local rains in that vicinity, but the road crews are making good progress in sur facing the stretch up again. All crews working on the road are about 2,5 per cent short of their usual quota of men. Captain Me haffey is just returning to the coast from a tour of the interior section and is expected to arrive in Juneau on the Alaska the lat ter part of this week. On his ar rival here he will relieve Col. Davison as disbursing officer of the road commission, the latter having been ordered to report for active duty.

ORDER OF ELKS
 MAKES ANOTHER
 PATRIOTIC MOVE
Members Will Be Asked to Observe Rules on Food; Conservation
 to Be Motto.

During the month of July the Order of Elks passed an appropria tion of $1,000,000 as a patriotic fund for hospital work at the French front, and a special circu- lar just issued by the Grand Ex- alted Ruler of the Elks' organiza- tion asks the members to assist MT. the food supply of our country. He says:
 "All the resources of our great country must be enlisted in the cause--men, money, food-and ev- cry citizen must do his bit. Every patriot cannot become a soldier in uniform, bearing arms; compara- lively few can make any substan- tial donations of money; but the one great service to our country to our allies, to democracy and to humanity, to which every patriotic citizen can contribute, is the con servation of the staple food prod ucts of the country"
 The necessity of such conserva- tion is not apparent to the people of Alaska, as we have an abund- ance of natural resources under such conditions as are now prevailing throughout the world. To deny an Alaskan of meats shipped from the States would not mean a meatless day, as our forests are vast pas for 1anC o,.ih and our streams are teeming with the choicest fish, but we can con- serve on other products, and to this end the order of Elks are ask ing their membership for a written pledge, during the duration of the war, to observe the following rules in their household:
 (A) That one meal each day shall be served without wheat food
 (B) That one meal each day shall be served with out meats.
 co That no butter shall be us- ed for cooking purposes when a satisfactory substitute is available
 (D) That bread shall be sliced during each meal only as required for immediate consumption.
 (E) That at three meals each week at least one dish shall be served prepared from food uncon- sumed at previous meals
 When one considers the Order of Elks has membership of 50O,000, and with each Elk's family observ- ing these instructions, it will mean very material saving on the ar ticles enumerated Therefore, this admonition is of more importance than would appear by simply read ing the list over, and it may be the means of supplying food to our European struggle, until the 1918 crops are available, which, at the present time and under the pres ent extravagant methods of most American people, would not seem possible.
 Those who are fortunate enough to be left at home with their fam lilies should use their utmost in- fluence, not only with their own household, but in every way pos sible, to carry out the wishes of Mir. Hoover and his committee in the conservation of our food SUD- ply, and it shows very clearly the patriotic character of the Elks' organization in asking their mem- bers to sign pledge for the dura- tiOn of the war.

THE DOCTRINE OF GENTLE
NESS.

1t is a well-known fact that in
times Of war criminality within
each national group is on the in
crease. It is only logical that it
should be so. People hear and
read so much about butchery and
destruction that the acts lose
great deal Of their terror, hearts
become hardened, and the evil i'm
pulses gain the ascendancy. The
abnormal minds of the vicious and
the criminally inclined find stimu-
latIon therein.
All the more reason for educat-
ors to strive to counteract this
tendency by constantly preaching
to the young the doctrines of gen.
tleness, sympathy, and helpfulness.
While telling them that as patri-
otto citizens it is our duty to take
up arms in defense of our country's
interests, or Of humanity's ideals,
we must yet point out to them that
the distinguishing virtues of civil
lied men are sympathy, kindness,
and compassion; that the rule of
truly great and noble souls is not
to hurt but to help their fellow
beings; that greater courage and

THE LAW OF SERVICE.

in the carcass OF the lion ne nau
slain, he propounded his riddle:
From the fierce there came forth
the sweet" Similarly the warlike
preparations in which our nation
is now engaged-and the same
holds true of the other nations in
volved in the present war-have
a disciplinary value beyond calcu-
lation. We are learning, as we
never learned before, the patriotic
duty of doing useful work, of rend-
ering service. It is no exaggera-
ton to say that in normal times OF
peace one-half of a nations energy
is idle or employed in useless if not
wasteful and injurious activity.
Not to speak of habitual idlers,
poor and rich, whose only occupa-
ton is pleasure seeking, we have
in mind the vast number of those
engaged in n,inistering to the
whims and pleasures Of the idlers,
and in serving them, or in the pro-
duction of useless vanities and
luxuries, or in the gentle art OF
relieving people of their money by
any method, including speculation
and gambling. The main object is
to make money, and people do not
ask whether OF nc there is a quid
pro quo, whether or no any serv-
ice is rendered to society for the
money obtained. Young people at
high-school or college, whose par
ents supply them all their needs,
take it for granted that whatever
time can be spared from their
school work must be spent in sport
and amusement.
Now, however, the country's call
to young and old alike is: Do some
thing useful, productive; render
some service. Young men who
never knew anything more stren-
uous than playing baseball or pool,
are training, drilling, working on
farms, enlisting in the large army
of useful workers; young women
who never knew any more serious
exertion than shopping, dressing,
and dancing, are taking part in
various enterprises of help and re-
lief, are sewing, knitting, and gar
dening. All this is as it should be.
But this valuable discipline must
not be dropped when the war is
over. It must remain the perma-
nent policy of the nation. To secure
permanent prosperity, peace, and
happiness for all, society must no
longer permit one half Of it's hu-
man energy to be idle, and the

1t is strictly in accordance with

ORTHODOXY AND ZIONISM.

There was time when it was
taken for granted that Reform or
liberal Judaism and Jewish nation
alism were incompatible, that III
onism was the natural twin of
orthodoxy. A few recent facts
ought to disabuse peoples minds
in regard to these matters. In the
first place, more and more of the
clerical and lay leaders of the lib
eral synagog are joining the Zion
list ranks. DR.. Jos. Krauskopf of
Philadelphia is one Of the latest
converts. In the second place,
many official representatives of
orthodoxy are not at all slow. in
showing their antagonism to Zion
ism.
At a recent conference of ortho-
dox rabbis held in New York, one
Of the participants, a layman, sub
mitted a resolution expressing the
conferences approval Of the estab-
lishment of a Jewish home in Pal
estine. After considerable wrang-
ling the resolution was defeated.
In Poland a number of German
rabbis who style themselves "Agu-
oath Hal rthodoxim" are carry
ing on a vigorous propaganda
against nationalism among the
Polish Jews. This is probably done
at the behest of the German gov
eminent.
And, to crown it all, there is the
report of an official declaration
against Zionism on the part of the
conjoint committee of the Board
of Deputies Of British Jews and
of the Anglo-Jewish Association,
the two representative bodies of
official Anglo-Jewish orthodoxy.
Evidently orthodoxy has no COM
plete monopoly of Zionism as yet,
and there is ample scope for the
Mizrahi's activity besides trying
to make all Zionists orthodox.
