RAISE IN PAY FOR
 ROAD COMMISSION MEN

FAIRBANKS, July 14. - Road Su- perintendent R. J. Sommers here has been authorized to increase the pay of his labor fifty cents per day, in a wire from Col. w. r. Richardson. This means that men who have heretofore been getting S4 per day of eight hours will now draw $4.5O. Employees working by the month, excepting su- perintendents, foremen, chauffeurs and regular office employees, get a raise of $15 per month. This increase means a raise in the local pay roll of the commission of about $100 per day The raise is supposed to be due to the increased cost of living.

BAKER IMPRESSED
BY CHARACTER Of
MEN IN TRAINING
Secretary of War, I'M WelcOna-
ing Trench and Camp"
Pays Tribute to Soldiers in
CantOnments

High. compliment is paid the
American men now In training
camps throughout the country by
Secretary of War Newton D. Baker
in a letter to Trench and Camp"
Secretary Baker. who is making
the rounds of the camps and canton
ments and will visit each and every
one of them IL time will-permit. says
in his letter:
"As / have gone from .one camp
to another ! have had fresh i'm
preston of the splendid mental and
physical character Of the young men
in training"
Secretary Baker has been much
impressed with the fact that the
books he found under the soldiers
hunks were such as to show that
their owners were scholarly and that
their literary tastes and interest in
the news of the world had suffered
no slump, even though their time
and attention are taken up with mil
itary duties.
Following is Secretary Bakers
letter to John Stewart Bryan, editor
in-chief Of Trench and Camp:
my Dear Mr.. Bryan:
Both officially and personally,
am deeply grateful for the work YOU
and your associates are doing under
the auspices Of the National War
Work Council Of the Y. ri. c. A. It
makes available in attractive form
the news Of world happenings to the
men in cur forces here and overseas.
"As ] have gone about from one
camp to another, I have had q fresh
impression Of the splendid mental
and physical character of the young
men under training. Under their
beds / have found books, not often
idle, or worthless books, but very
often books of the student and schol-
ar, and their eager interest in news.
both CT the world and home has been
very evident from their conversation
and their taste in reading matter.
1T is clear that this medium which
you are providing for them will be :
source of profit and that it will
arouse fresh and constant interest
in things from which they are. at
least in part, shut off by necessities
of camp life and military training.
Cordially Yours.
Newton D. Baker.
Secretary of War"

COST OF WAR

A statistical shark has figured
that the aggregate cost of the war
to all the nations involved will be
$155, OOO, 100000 by next August,
provided the conflict lasts that long.
The expenditures thus far total
more than 800, 900, 900, 900.
Further expert figuring shows the
daily cost of the war to be $780,
/, 100000, or $6,500,OOO an hour.
This means that for every second
that is licked of $10S,333 is spent.
Like everything else. the cost of-wart
is going up, the daily expenditure
having been a paltry $50, 000,0 0O in
1914 and 500, 100000 a year ago.
There are now 53,OO0,O 600 men ac-
lively engaged in the war, the
Allies having 100000 and the
Central Powers 100000.

the issues fairly before the world
and to afford an opportunity for .
settlement other than by arms. The
projectors of the League believe
that in most cases war can thus Dc
avoided.
We are now in q League to En-
force Peace. We are using the unit
ed forces of the democracies OF the
world to strike down irresponsible
military autocracy. II that is AL
lowed to live, no peace made after
this war will be permanent. 1t will
last as long as it is to the interest OF
the military dynasties to have 1t
last, and then when the opportunity
comes to them to strike for further
conquest, peace viii cease and war
will begin again.
An indispensable condition, there
fore, Of successful and useful
League to Enforce Peace. after this
war is over, must be the winning OF
the present war and the suppression
of the power of the HOhenzollern
dynasty that is responsible for the
present crime against civilization.
The first purpose of those who
wish to promote the League to En-
force Peace must be to win the war.
That the Allies, with the aid Of
America, are going TO do, no mat
ter what it costs.

A PARDONABLE ERROR

Captain Jones was q very round
shouldered and eccentric officer.
On a particularly dark night in
Egypt, while practising his company
in outpost duty, he approached one
of the sentrieS, who failed to halt
him.
In a great rage the officer de-
manded of the now trembling sentry
the reason why he had omitted to
challenge him.

confused soldier. II thought you
was a camel"

The League to Enforce Peace is a
plan for making the peace which
follows this war permanent peace.
The plan looks to an international
agreement OF all nations, by which
they shall enforce peacable proce-
dure before a court. or commission
Of Cancellation, of hearing, the
submission of evidence. argument
and decision, either in the form Of
judgment or recommendation of

war before this procedure has been
completed, all the other nations
agree to resist the war thus pre-
maturely begun, in violation of the
plighted faith Of member of the

The League does not look to the
enforcement of the judgment or OF

WHAT WILSON ENv1Es

When President Wilson wrote
that he envied the men who ION the
field and in the trenches" would
fight the final battle for the indie
pendence Of the United States" he
only expressed a yearning that is in
the heart of everv red-blooded man.
The laws Of nature set limits to
fighting ability. hut the springs of
patriotism arc not Quenched by age.
When General Nelson leveled the
guns at his own home in Yorktown
he could not ."go over the top" but
he could and did shoot his home to
bits with as much spirit as If its roof
had keen an enemy trench. So the
happiness that comes from dischar-
ging emotion in action was his de-
spite his years.
For those who can neither point
cannon nor throw a bomb. nor
even perform less dangerous, IL
equally essential tasks behind the
Line. there comes of necessity the
unrest of unexpressed emotion. It is
at best dull and drab affair to stav
at home without uniform and without
rank, in safety If you will, but in
obscurity also. and watch the roaring
tide of life and Joy and triumph that
is in the red front of battle go rush
ing by. Of course. the soldier runs
a risk and It is that risk that makes
his life glorious. If war were a mat
ter OF swords of lath and paper bal.
looms, If the men were manikins and
the stakes were ake-believe, then
the whole business would be an affair
Of mountebanks and not warriors.
But precisely because the game is
the biggest the world ever saw-sc
big, indeed, that most other wars
look like vaudeville shows and the
world series becomes as childs play
and because the hazard is death
with honor or life with triumph and
the stakes are the freedom and hap
piness and safety for the world. the
fascination Of this adventure is so
great that no man is so old, so poor
spirited, so sordid or so immersed
in business as not to hear the call
OF the bugles and feel the Juggling of
forgotten instincts for conquest, for
growth and for glory.
VOAy ACOAUSuS WILSON Is the
most important personality in the
world. Not because he comes of q
long line of robber Ronanofs or
cutthroat Hohenxollerns. but because
his brain and character stand at the
head of the most powerful and the
most peaceful people On earth. His
word will shape the peace negotia-
tions; on mis- Judgment hangs the
lives and safety of millions: on his
efficiency depends cur national SEE
curity. Surely these are tasks big
enough to occupy every energy and
every thought of any man.
And yet over the spreading laws
surrounding the White House and
through its still and guarded CORR
doris has rung the shrilI trumpet of
war, and in the great heart of that ST.
lent patriot and supreme servant
Woodrow Wilson-the echoes have
Weakened that make even him. the
most honored man OF all this age.
wish that he, too, were with the boys
on the field and in the trenches,
What Wilson envies they have.
And how great is that power of serv-
ice for and of particiDatiou in the tri-
umph and victory of our nation!
