Incoming Executive of City Gives a Most
 Comprehensive
 Outline. STEWART PAID TRIBUTE COunciImen Praise Work of Retiring Mayor and Executive Family
 To Get Busy.

At the city council meeting last night there were two well-defined de. velopments, a remarkable tribute to the retiring mayor, B. D. Stewart. and most comprehensive message to the citizens by the new mayor. Emery Valentine.
 After the minutes of the three pre- vious meetings had been read and approved, pending bills referred for o. K, retiring Mayor Stewart an. nounced that he would leave the exc. cutive chair of the City of Juneau and turn it over to the one who had been elected at the election last Tuesday.
 Before I retire. however" he said. II want to thank the members of the city council who have worked with me this year. for their able assis- tance. We have worked in perfect harmony and I believe have accom- plished much good for the city in the way of Improvements and in new ones contemplated. I will now ask the two retiring councilmen, Messrc. Erlcson and McKanna to escort the new councilmen, Nels Sorby and Gun mar Blomgren. to their seats"
 Tributes Are Passed
 Before the action suited the com mand, retiring Councilman Ericson rose and paid tribute to Mr Stew. art and to his colleagues in glow ing terms. MT. McKanna also spoke words of approval for the hearty CO., operation that had existed between the mayor and the councilmen. Councilman King, in a few we'll chosen words. said he desired to pub licly show appreciation to MT Stew art for the efficient advice, able as- sistance and learned knowledge he had at all times given to the mem bers of the council

We will now turn to our new mayor and help him make this the best city in the Ter ritory, keeping up our reputation"
 CounciImen Seated
 New Councilmen Sorby and Blom gren were then escorted to their chairs at the table. and with the ex- ception of Councilman Miller. who had been taken suddenly i'll previous to the meeting, the official family of Juneau was completed Mayor Val entine arose from his chair and as
  his message to the counclmen and the spectators who crowded the coun- cil chamber. At the conclusion of the message a recess of the council was taken until next Wednesday,. In the meantime the committees will un- in different officers, if deemed nee essary, will be ready for announce ment.
 Mayors Message
 Mayor Valentines message was as follows:
 Gentlemen of the Council.
 Ladies and Gentlemen:
 In accordance with the time honored and conventional customs requiring that the executive head of administrative templated legislation in the form of 8 l present the following ex- pressed thoughts for your considera- tion.
 I am fully conscious of the respon- abilities we are assuming in the con duct of the government of this city for the coming year. The situation we are facing is grave, the necessities, of the city are as great and pressing as ever, while it's resources are less. Hardly more than half of the = approximately $29.000 that has been received from the Federal licenses can be expected Val- nations have declined. and the law will permit no higher levy. It is reason able to believe that our revenues will be reduced not less than $25, ,O00 below the receipts of last year. This will leave approximately $90,500 in addition to the $S,000 reported to be in the treasury, that is to say in all $9S, 300 with which to supply the needs of the city during the fiscal year. Of this $3O, 900 will be required for the schools, and at present rates $26, 900 will be for salaries of city officers and employees $6.000 for the Fire Department, $3 .OOC

CULTIVATION.
To Farmers, Bankers and Business
Men in the South:

To Farmers, Bankers and Business
Men in the South:
The proper cultivation of corn and
other food crops ought to be on the
minds OF every one Of us at the present
time In many sections OF the South
the failure to proper y cultivate corn
during the month OF June is one o. DE
great causes of low yields. On account
Of tie greater part of the time being
devoted to other crops upon which
the fal ne. has been entirely de-
pendent 4or his money as we'll as the
credit to make the crop, the corn crop
is f.en neglected, especially by Negro
tenauts. The fields grow up IN grass
the cultivation is never taken up again
and the result is a very low yie.d.
Posters have been distributed on this
subject but it Will take work and in
terest and organization on the par of
farmers and business men to get this
important matter tended to.
Mil the weeds and grass and con-
serve the moisture for good crop by
shallow and intensive cultivation.
A part of ihe duty of every farmer,
business man and banker IS to en-
courage at this season the proper
cultivation Of fGod oops as we'll as
cotton,
This letter is not asking that any
crop be neglected; it asks the proper
cultivation CT al crops in this emer-
i goney.
Yours very Tuly.

Elood, &nys General Woo6.

Atlanta, June 20-The "apathetic
spirit Of the American people in re-
gard to the war" was the keynote OF
an address here today by Maj. Gen
Leonard a. Wood, commander of the
Southern Department, L. S. A., be-
fore the eighth annual meeting of
taa International Association of Ro-
tary Clubs The nation, he said, has
not yet awakened to the fact that
we are fighting powerful foe and
the quicker we realize THAI sacrifices
must be made in order to win the war,
the quicker the war will end"
With a soldiers bluntnoss, General
Wood told the delegates America will
win in the end, but not until ter
rife price has been paid in blood y
There is a general feeling throughout
the> counTy he said, that young men
were not raised to be soldiers, but
call boys are raised to be soldiers
and to furnish the sineWs OF war and
there will always be war as long as
there is bitter international business
competition.

ATROCITIES

When, early in the. war, there were published re-
ports of unutterable roffenses committed by German
troops against the Belgians, those reports were very gem
orally discredted on this side Of the water as exaggera-
tons due to excitement, or as ainpliffcations Of incidents
of lawlessness committed by individuals for which the
government or the military authorities could not properly
be held responsible. But the authenticity Of 80 many of
these reports has been 80 thoroughly established by thor
ough investigation and by the sworn testimony Of cred
ible witnesses that no doubt remains. It has been DEM
onstrated beyond the possibility Of a doubt that the Ger
man government has authorized and required the COM
mission Of the most atrocious crimes against non-com-
blatant men. women and children, for the evident pur-
spectacle of what would follow when tho awful wrath of
the hun was incurred.
The stories which now come from the section OF
France from which the Germans have retreated are,
therefore, received without question. for the ~offenses of
which we are now told are exactly Of the class with those
Of which abundant proof has already been furnished.
The whole territory evacuated has been devastated,
not by the necessities OF war. but by the senseless rage OF
the authorities who have seemingly determined that the
world shall be given another object lesson in fr1ghtful-
ness.
If the object il to brighten the French people into a
less vigorous defense of their property and their homes.
the effort is proving futile, and. instead Of becoming
frightened. the French are angered, and are stirred to a
still more tremendous effort to drive the invaders from
their land.
German efficiency has been highly praised. But
seldom has there been shown a greater degree of ineffN
cheney than in the utter failure of German officialdom
to understand tho mental and spiritual processes of free
peoples.

POSSIBILITIES. ARE ON

Berlin says that there are as yet no German subma-
rines on this side of the Atlantic ocean. The report that
q German submarine had fired a torpedo at an American
ship of the New England coast is attributed to a desire
to create the impression that Germany has begun hos
tilities against the United States.
Those of us who were not present have no means
of knowing whether or not the reported torpedo was
actually fired. We do know that the report was made
by American officers and seamen who are conversant
with the subject, and, in the absence Of absolute proof
to the contrary, we must suppose that their statements
are correct. If they are not correct a mistake has been
made, as mistakes in such cases are often quite pos
sible.
But in any event, it is not necessary for Americans
to manufacture evidence to support the contention that
Germany began the hostilities between the two nations.
The hostilities are now on. They have been on in a for
NAL and regular way on the part of both nations for two
weeks, or ever since the existence of a state Of war
was recognized by the American congress. And for two
years at least prior to that time, Germany has been en-
gagged in hostilities against the United States.
1t is not necessary, at this stage of the proceedings.
for anyone to fire a shot In order to begin the wal"
The war is actually on, and the firing Of shots is merely
a matter of detail. 1t will be entirely satisfactory if the
next shot is fired from an American gun.
