THE FOOD CAMPAIGN.

The national food conservation Campalgn has at last reached Fairbanks, and house wives of this city will be asked to sign pledges and membership cards in the "Cnited States Food Administration The signing Of these will obligate the members to follow out the instructions of National Food Admlnls- trator Hoover in the eliminating of food waste in the kitchen
 Every patriotic woman ot this section should enroll as members and should follow the instructions of the department earnestly and faithfully. By SO doing, they will do a service for humanity. The European world is on the verge of starvation, and -Amcr1ca, the food store house of the World IS called upon to furnish sustenancc. This is vast responsibility and will make 1t necessary for the provcrbally wasteful American family tc ecenomize and eliminate culinary abundance and eXtraVaganCe.
 It will not only be helping to feed the al lies but will also keep down the cost of living at home.
 Perhaps little forced economy will do the American people good. It may make them realize the shameful and needless waste of which they have been guilty in the past.

GENIUS IN W AR.

American genius has been counted upon to produce novel but effective devices to com bat the submarine and to win victories for the allies on land as well as upon the sea. But to date there is no evidence that such in ventions have been made While 1t is true that American inventiveness will probably play large part in the outcome of the strug- gle, every American is not an inventor by any means.
 For instance, an average ot 5,NO letters a week are being received by the navy con suting board most of them from persons who believe they have the real and only SoIu ton of the submarine menace.
 Naturally the vast ma jority of these sug- gestions are covered by patents or are who'll ly impracticable. But the government au- thorities and the volunteer civilians who are assisting them carefully investigate the merits of each plan in the hope that some obscure genius may stumble upon the plan that will revolutionize warfare
 The policy of maintaining an 'open mind' toward proffered ideas is having a good effect, as a number of useful sugges- tions have been adopted by various depart ments of the government.
 The government will pay suitable price for all inventions suggested, and invites the inventive genius of the country to submit any and all plans which might be of use in rhe world war

WHAT WILL. PEACE MEAN: ::

President Wilson, in addressing the Jap anese mission yesterday, declared that Am erica is fighting for peace that will be per manent and serene, with no danger of her rights being violated in the future Until such peace Is guaranteed, tAmerlca will fight on to final victory with her allies.
 The President declared that America seeks no gains or indemnity for herself, and looks forward to the time when she can be friends with all the world.
 And the American people hopes this will soon bt realized America does not glory in war. Her people are peace loving and abhor armed strife. And now that they have been forced into the struggle, they are anxious for an early termination of the strife ln a victory for the allied cause They are anxious to return to the paths of peace, secure in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
 And Aaskans are particularly anxious for the return of settled conditions which will come only with peace, and are doing 'their bit" Loyalty to the government to bring the war to successful conclusion as carly as possible.
 The development of this great domain IS being retarded to great extent by un- settled conditions due to war times. Peace will be hailed with glad acclaim in the North land.

cricau people to observe one mcatlc,~ day each week as means of preventing short age at home aud to prevent famine among our allies MI patriotic citizens are urged io make this small ~cli-dcuiaI: by observing one mcatlc~~ day, the American citizen may enable some family in Europe to enjoy meat Du one day Of the week.
 The entente world k depending upon Am- erica to furnish it with it, supply of meat l~ well as almost every other iood~tuli. This country k thus given vast powers and great responsibilities. IINtraHagancc in the Amcri- ,an home may mean the death by starvation md under nutrition of thousands Of people in the nations oi our allies
 It k not likely that there will be any hing compulsory about the national meat less day. The national food administrator ,a~ appealed to the fairness and honor of he American people, and his plan will be readily and willingly followed by all pat .iotc Americans
 And, aside from the effect ii will have Dn conserving the worlds meat supply, it will also be q good thing for the people in hi, country. Ii is better to go without meat one day in the week voluntarily than to be obliged to go without it several days q week ,n account of high prices
 But how Kaiser Bill will c<uIt when he hears the news, IIc will tell his people that even bountifu1 America is on the verge of starvation because of the German submarine warfare, and that Uncle sam will soon be tarrcd into submission.

NO CAUSE. TO WORRY


 Unlike our contemporary, we cannot see any local political significance in the tacl that Col. Wild, r. Richardson has, iu due course pi tmc been promoted to the next highest rank and consequently transferred to other fields oi activity.
 The country is at war, and the services ,i Brigadier General Richardson are too valtl- able to allow him to remain as chairman of the Alaska Road commission and direct work on trail ol admittedly no military vaIuc
 The hint that the generals removal was the result of 'knocking' the trail is the mcr est piIlIc The war department has real nan-sizd job on it's hands and is too busy at tending to its own somewhat extensive al- fairs to take a day off to read one oi our contemporary lengthy editorials
 And AIaskano need have no fear that the trail is going to suffer through the removal of General Richardson to other fields \ change is to be madc-that -is ccrtain-and we do not see any possibility of the change being for the worse
 For some years, at least the maintcr. ancc of the trail has not been properly within the jurisdiction of the war department. B.,l at that time the nation was at peace, and there was not enough work to be done in d military way by the officer, educated to lead he American army. Thus such work a> that ,f the Alaska Road commission was turned over to the war department It was to be eN- pcctcd that General Richardson and Lieu tenant Colonel W. P. Davidson, of the com mission would be assigned to active duty with the new army, as they are both able and eff ccnt officers.
 It has been no secret that the govern mcnt has for some time been planning to take the maintenance of Alaskan trails from the war department and turning it over to the department of the interior, where it right ly belongs As roads are more in the scope Of the interior department, it will be easier to obtain funds for Alaskan trails from that source than 1t was from the war department The detaching of the two officers just men toned indicates that this change is about to be made
 The transfer of Col. Savic from Fort iscom also indicates that the government telegraph lines in Alaska, now maintained by the L. $. signal corps of the army, will be turned over to the post office department This, also, in our opinion, will be a change for the better

TIME, ALMOST U

little more than week remains in which men of military age may register for the SC jcctive draft in Fairbanks and the territory. After that Cncle sam will deal harshy with any who failed to enroll in the given time. The punishment usually given Outside is a years Imprisonment in the federal penlten- tiary Misunderstanding or ignorance of the law is not taken as an excuse. In fact, no excuses are in order.
 Up to date, little more than half of the men of draft age in Fairbanks have offered their services to Uncle sam, and nearly Ho more must enroll before the books close on Saturday evening" September lst. There is no evidence of stacking here. Nothing more serious than procrastinaton can be found in the sloWneSs of the registration.
 But the situation is getting serious. Some of our young fellow citizens are in danger of unwittingly branding themselves as slack CTS and bringing upon themselves disgrace they will never be able to live down.

CHEERING WORDS.

Cheering news for the people of Interior Alaska is brought by Hon. W. (. Edes, chair man of the Alaskan Engineering commission, who arrived yesterday in Fairbanks from the coast for an inspection of construction work at this end of the line The chief railroad builder declared that the original plan Of the commission will be carried out as closely as possible !n spite of the war, and that the con struction work will be rushed summer and winter in order that the new line may be opened at the earliest possible date.
 One of the objects of his visit is to pre- pare data on which to base his estimates for next years appropriations. In spite of the fact that there has been big advance in the price oi material, the government intends to prosecute the work with vigor, not only to tap the Natanuska coal fields to relieve the coal situation on the Pacific coast but also to fulfill the governments promise to give Alaska complete railway line without any preventative delay.
 In order to prevent agalnst tuel short age in Fairbanks this winter, he declared that construction will be rushed south from Happy
