It IS hoped that many more will see their way clear to make monthly payments to the cause. The con- tributions made thus far range from one dollar per month to five dol lars per month.

JUNEAU CHAPTER OF AMERICAN
 RED CROSS
Juneau Chapter meets Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday afternoons, at the City Hall, at one o'clock.

All women who knit, and all to meet at the City Hall tomorrow in order that plans may be laid for completing the 252 knitted sets that have been allotted to Juneau Chapter for completion by October first.
 Mrs. Lowle, instructor of knit ting, sis also anxious to have all persons report on work that is out, whether it is finished or not, in or der that she may be able to esti- mate the amount of work Juneau Chapter can supply within a given time. The instructions for the new work are being printed, and Mrs Lowle states that they are very simple and the articles easy to make.
 It may be that some women who are excellent knitters have not taken up this work hitherto be- cause they felt that it was an un- important phase of Red Cross en- deavor, and that the factories could turn out more satisfactory goods at greater speed. The facts of the mat ter are, however, that the factor ies are greatly overworked, and that their products are contracted for long time in advance.

THE COMING GENERATION OF BOYS
(NeW York WOrld)

(NeW York WOrld)
 One of the most distressing facts to be faced by sad nations of Europe after the will be dearth of boys at the next of manhood This draft extreme youth abroad has been forced In America it come about only last and most unlooked-for step in the face of dire emergency There is nothing in evidence calling boyhood to the colors the eaping desire of youth itself; the aspiration to valiant deeds which with the spring of fe the force which has made it true that thus far the of the Republic have been boys wars, though fought with strength and spirit of men.
 The lure to the youth of the present conflict is readily understood There is service abroad to begin with To the budding mind this is romance. There is again the summons of high service for the world That carries the suggestion of such chivalry filled the ranks of the old crusaders with juvenile knights. To the youthful dealist, the glory and galanry not the and ghastlness of the fight for democracy fill the frame.
 To the boys of America, eager to know what they shall do for the Nation, Secretary Baker Gen. Wood Secretary Daniels and others address themselves through the current American Boy. The voice of Gen Wood is the voice of all: Every boy should finish his school course. ' The boys should remember that they are serving in the best possible way by preparing them selves to efficiently when the time comes
 Most probably when the time comes, the service will be that of peace, which calls not less than war for the work of trained hands and mind None of them need fear that there will not be tasks that tax all of his powers.
