PREPAREDNESS HERE

War with Germany is very near in fact the declara- tiOn may come within IS hours.
 There are German raiders at ready to make repr sal wherever possible and open hOStteS will be the signal for them to attack unprotected American ports of which Seward is one of the most prominent and most valuable
 There is no doubt about it that German raider com mander or German sailor who in the event of war could effect the destruction of government railroad property at Seward or Anchorage delaying the completion of this coal road would be rewarded with the iron cross.
 The reasonable step is for the men of Seward to or ganze military unit for defense which will form basis of volunteer organization on which the government could depend to resist attack here of anything but well equipped force
 Five hundred men properly armed with rifles en- trenched along the beach could prevent the landing of sail ors in small boats from any ordinary commerce raider the crew of which averages about 200 men. It IS well known fact that guns mounted vessel are not efec tive to any degree against earthwOrks while raider with two sixnch guns might lombard the town it would heS tate to use sufficient ammunition to effect landing TO risk being disabled by sending enough men ashore to ovepow- CT an overwhelming armed force.
 In war against Germany the Pacific Coast has noth ing to fear except from raids by going submarines armed with deck guns commerce raiders but this would be an ever present danger and not to guard against is criminal negligence.
 Preliminary work toward eitecting such an organ zation as mentioned above should be taken up at once

A COMPETITION IN HUMAN INTEREST

Why blame the village pool room because the boys and young men spend their evenings there? They enoy the click of the pool balls and the ragtme music ot the player piano. Why find fault at the swapping of un- seenlv stories at the general store at Hanks corner? The men have good time and it is great treat for the small boy Why raise howl at the opening ot dance hall at Peters creek or movie" theatre at BenSonS! ! The people who back these enterprises in response to the social needs of rural life have scored against the church of Jesus Christ at important point they have catered to human interest and have got results.
 The need of opportunity for recreation in rural com
 mtes has been recognized first by those who conner ciaze it and in doing put it the plane which brings the largest financial returns The country church. whose ideals is to have Sunday services more or less regularly
 Sunday school that closes during the winter, and an an nua revival meeting cannot hope to compete with such enterprises Nor can any rural church ignore such needs as these supply Nothing that touches for good or eV the life of rural population can be alien to the country church whose ministry is successful
 Boys and girls are as human as their parents were. Shall they not be protected by the high ideals which come from relating religion to social life, to education, to re- creaton and to the varied interest of the days work If the city working girls problem is too small wage to enable her to live right it not true that for the country gr the problem is that of supplying sufficient wholesome recreation to occupy the time and energy which otherwise gets wrong trend?
 Should not the avenue of human interest as means of reaching the heart be welcomed the church of Jesus Christ in rural communties?-(The Church at the Center)

RUBBER HEELS

Taking the rubber heels off shoes of German dipo- mats returning from the United States with Ambassador Benstorff to the German empire because this rubber might be used to make munitions of seems like going little strong.
 There are about 200 men in the party and the question rises as to how these 400 rubber heels might have been used to help the German It would also be interest ing to know what the dominion government did with the heels after seizng them and whether not cash allow

Two hats that do not commit them selves to any particular season or cline, and one that announces its de- vOtiOn to winter are shown in the group of new millinery pictured here. It would seem like beginning the win ter all over again to invest in winter millinery at this late date. So. if oc- caSion demands something new in the way of headwear. the ever-ready lady hetakes herself to some smart mil linery establishment There she views the new things made in anticipation of the spring for those who journey south to meet it.
 There she will find hats of satin, hats of silk, hats of combinations of three fabrics with straw braids. and hats of many other things. They are not the hats of summertime, but will not find themselves out of place under sunny skies. Neither are they winter hats, yet they are not too airy and fragile to face snow fIurrieS They are hats of the demi-Scason, and you may wear fur scarf or no scarf at all with them.
 At the left hat of natter blue faille silk k shown, embcliShed with black silk soutachc braid and lovely little handmade roses of silk. They are in soft rose color and are set fiat against the hat. A lot of fine handwork makes this an expensive bit of luxurious headWear, but it's excuse for eXtraVagance is it's lovelinpSS.
 At the center of the group is hat of black satin. q simple narrow-brimmed shape. It's claim to originality rests upon the deep llounce of black lace that falls from the top of the crown. Ii falls over a collar of silver ribbon, and terminates at each side of the front The collar is finished with the sim plest and most Se't-satiSAed of little bows. Wlii, ,h a~-r"ts il.. '' . o'1ality,

nerched at the front of the crown. The owner of such hat will bless the milliner who created if, for it can be worn almost anywhere.
 A small, quiet little turban Is draped with soft satin and finished at the edge with Il band of fur. One little ostrich plume has the temerity to curl and nod Squarely at the front. This little hat Is meant for wintry weather. and is modest in design and price. so that il is not much of an extravagance even though it be the last of several prede- ceSSors in the present season.
