LOOK TO ALASKA FOR RECRUITS
 FOR ALL BRANCHES OF SERVICE

JUNEAU, AUG. 24,- (By MaiD- The authorities at Washington have been requested to grant authority to .ae army officers of Alaska to enlist men for the aviation corps and other special services and favorable action rs expected at an early date. All ar engagements have been completed for he QuartermasterS boat Peterson to
 ome to Gastineau Channel with off
 CTS on board to make the examina-
 ions of those who wish to join the ,ervice and the boat will arrive here ,horJIy after September 10th.
 Col. NJ. A. Sayille, who passed thru Juneau this morning on the Princess Sophia stated that on account of Alas la being practically an Overseas De partment" recommendations have ceen made that a regiment of troops uc be known as the Alaska Regiment be formed, for the purpose of increas- ing the supporting hold.'
 "We have recommended that on ac- count of the distance between Alaska and the States, that the supporting hold be increased and that an Alas kan regiment be formed" said Colonel SaviIle. This regiment would in- clude the regular troops now stationed in Alaska and those who volunteer and are drawn through the selective daft for service, and would mater ially increase the interest being talk en in the war by the people of the

Territory.
 We have also asked for authority to enlist men for the aviation corps and for other special corps which the government is raising. On ac- count of the mining industries here the percentage of technical men for for the number of population is reIa- lively higher in this section of Alas ka than in any other part of the Unit. ed States.
 Arrangements have been made for the Peterson to come south and she will arrive here about September 10th or within few days thereafter Or ricers will be on the boat to make all examinations necessary. We wish time to get the notification of the Wis it of the boat to such points as Wran- gell, Petersburg, and Ketchikan While the boat may not go to these places, we desire to cut down eXpen- ses to the government as much as pos sible, and also the expenses to the men themselves"
 Gen. w. p. Richardson this morn ing received the following telegram from Captain Ed R. Stone, who has been left in charge at Fort Seward:
 Have requested authority for en- Gstment of men for aviation corps and others. Peterson will leave here for Juneau about September 10th. Will advise later.

THE TIME DRAwETH NIGH

AS the time draws nearer when the cork is supposed to go into the bottle for the last time, when, in fact, the bottle is supposed to be thrown away and kegs used only as a receptaclcs for fish curing, it becomes more and more apparent that things will not be as set forth in the statute.
 From here and there, drifting about on the wings of the wind, come faint odors of hootch being waited to caches against that day.
 While an overwhelming majority voted Alaska dry, it is highly evident that the minority does not propose to suffer from the drouth imposed upon them and it would even seem that part oi the majority propose to continue under the age-old motto: "Do as l say, but not as l do."
 Just what is to happen when this dry act goes into effect is a highly important item these days and occu- pies a big niche in the minds of many people.
 Purveying drinks to the thirsty forms a considerable part Of the mer- chandising business in most of the coast towns; in fact, it is a more ex- tensive business than appears, for in addition to supplying the thirsty at hand, there is an active mail order, trunk, suit ease and express business from the various distributing centers to consumers in distant camps.
 To all inteuts and purposes, all of this trade is to be cut off in a twink ling of an aye on orabout next jan uary once.
 But there is many a slip and any one with hat an eye can tell that it will not be cut off either on January once, twice or even three times.
 The question is, what will be done about it?
 A law on the books to look at and disObey is a highly demoralizing stat ute, for it teaches disregard of the law and there is enough disregard of law at present to go around and leave plenty for the next generation.
 To those who pay attention to ht- tie things and watch the pointing straws, it is disturbing to see their fellow townsmen setting about with

THE RED CROSS APPEAL

Concerning Red Cross activities in Southeastern Alaska, which applies to Alaska as a while, the Juneau Dis patch expresses the following senti- ment:
 "The Juneau Chapter of the Amer ican Red Cross is sending out an ap- peal to the people of this city which should meet with immediate and hearty response from every man, ev- cry woman, and even every little child within reach.
 "The practical business people who are engineering the financial part of the Red Cross work have come to the conclusion that spasmodic contribu- tions to the cause are praiseworthy but not economical. Plans cannot be made for work ahead with any degree of certainty when the committee does not know how much money-or some where near how much-is going to be available within the month or two just ahead. Gifts to the Red Cross are generally gifts from the heart; but even that organ likes to feel that it's gift is in the form in which it will

great deliberation to circumvent the law of the land. It starts a train of thought as to just what will happen before the condition about to occur will be righted, for it will be righted no matter what the cost There is a law of balance which looks after you and l and it is as certain as the sea- sons. but there are so many ways of evening things and the penalty in- ficted so varied as to give room for much speculation
 Of one thing We may rest assured the activities of the hootch purvey- ors after January first will inGict upon all of us that type of sleuth known as the "hootch hound" with his attendant stool pigeons. There will be breaking in of doors, chases after elusive bottles, keg hunts, ar rests, false and otherwise (probably more otherwise than false), bribery, perjury, and subornation of perjury, possibly there will be a little shoot ing to enIiven the scene and many a cabin will house a little hootch mill.
 Yea, verily, the indications are that we will have quite a little time.

do the most good.

do the most good.
 And the way Juneau offerings to the Red Cross can be made to do the most, is for them to be given regu- Iarly, on definite scale and for the particular object of seeing the work in this chapter go full speed ahead with no inopportune stops to take on more fuel
 What the committee asks is that everyone give something every month for the Red Cross; that everyone say to himself or herself, "What is jhc biggest possible sum that I can spare to be given as my share toward heal ing distress and preventing suffering in the great war;"
 And when the question is answer ed, the committee wants that sum to come voluntarily, gladly, each month into the hands of the workers who will administer it so that the great est good may come of it for the suf- ferers across the sea.
 Don't let's have this thing lag. Let's all take counsel with ourselves and our oank books-or bill books and then GIVE-GIVE until it hurts somewhere; GIVE the money that goes into any unnecessary expendi- ture. Let us tax ourselves until each of us feels the strain at least a little and thereby knows that a part of the big burden is being lifted.
 "The wealthy man can give many dollars; the poor man can give less; the women can all give at least tho cents, few looked at by themselves, but many in the aggregate, which are being savej daily in every kitchen by wartime economy. They could hard Iy go for a more worthy cause.
 "The children even, can sacrifice their candy pennies that other little children may have food.
 "Let's make this a big thing for Juneau. It's case where no one is watching us. Everyone must judge his own ability to give and let his con science say whether or not he will make that contribution. There isn't a thinkable excuse for not giving to this cause. It can't do any harm and is sure to do much good. For fire eater or pacifst, it is a way to express patriotism or pity. American citizen, friendly alien or enemy-all can unite in a cause which means help for all relief from pain for all who can be reached. And if all are NOT reached, it will be only because We didn't ALL do our part.
 "Let's fairly deluge the committee with our subscriptions. They want dollars, half-dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies, every month-one or many of all or each-it doesn't matter. They just want everyone to give what they can and pledge it glad Iy and QUICKLY.

Robert Carter in Philadelphia Pross.

The Fairbanks Citizen has kicked up quite so much ink dust as the one re gently quoted in which he dubbed the valdez-Fairbanks road the "Richard- son Rut." It is still the topic of con versation in every interior paper and even the coast papers continue to com ment. Here is a counter attack from Valdez:
 "Anent the recent celebrated trip of the Fairbanks editor, who travelled over the trail from Valdez to Fair banks in an auto "driven by himself" and which was the subject of burn ing editorial, on alleged disgraceful conditions he encountered, the follow ing is one of the arguments used: Fairly good progress was made until the auto reached Gulkana when it reached the first of the innumerable bad spots encountered. The road was bad to Donnelly (244 miles in) then fairly good, and from Richardson to Fairbanks were numerous bad spots. There are, however, a few bad places near Fairbanks
 "After roasting the trail to his hearts content, this amiable editor, fearing he would offend the powers that control the destinies of the Fair banks end, thus reverses himself The coast end of the trail, consider ing the money spent on it, is in very poor condition. On this end of the trail between Fairbanks and Richard son, it is a great deal better, etc.
 Considering hat ten-year-old chil- dren drive from Valdez to Copper Center, and that the road is nearly a boulevard from here to Chitina, Val deg drivers making it on an aver age of ten hours, and driving it fre-
  ouentIy, it is hard to understand what our esteemed contemporary is trying to say. He states that he made good time as far as Gulkana and was then six or eight days making the remain der of the distance, it looks to us as if the banning would go to the Fair banks end. An auto can run in from Willow creek in very short time, elim- mating the long wait at Chitina and Cordova, and allowing passengers to catch a boat several hours sooner than by going over the railway.
 "Bob Sheldon recently took the Edes party into Fairbanks in two and one-half days, and brought Mrs. Ro- barts and daughter, who were mem bers of the ten-day jaunt described by Mir. Caskey, back to the coast last week in three and half days and could have made better time but for having ladies aboard, who were unused to the long hours in driving.

SERIES OF CONCERTS.

There will be special trains to ant
from Middlebury on January 20, Febru-
AIRY 7, and March 6 when the people of
the college and the town will take in
three musical concerts given at the
Playhouse in Rutland. Six artists OF
international fame will be there. The
first celebrity is Florence Hinckle, who
is perhaps the most sought for soprano
sooist in America. She sings songs
that everyone likes and she does it in a
delightful manner. She has often been
said to have voice like Meba's and ia
have the faculty Of singing songs that
take" like those sung by John Nc
Cormack.
Leginska, who is the second artist to
appear on the concert course has time
and again been called "the Perewewski
Of women pianists." She is far more
dramatic in her playing than Paderwski
and has in many places where the two
have appeared received the better criti-
cisms of the two. She wears an art
costume of black velvet with white col
lar and every minute Of her recital you
feel that she is thinking of nothing but
her piano and making 1t express the
thought of the composer.
George Barrere has for years been
recognized as the most famous hutst in
the world. He is head of the Trio de
Lutece and has as associates Salzados,
harpist, and Kefer, 'cellist. Salzados is
the only harpist who has played solo parts
on that instrument with the New York
Symphony orchestra. Kefer was the
head 'cellist with the New York orches-
ira until he resigned to devote all his
time to concert work. Martha Phillips
appears with the trio. She has just
made her debut in New York this fall
and received the highest criticism of the
season from three New York news
papers. adv.
1t is understood tnat it will cost $3.50
to get these artists to come to Rutland.
E. Miller is making arrange
ments to seat the Mddebury people
together in the Play House. He has
desirable section available but only
limited number of tickets to sell.

GOV. GRAHAM'S MESSAGE.
Bennington Banner

Governor Graham's inaugural mes
sage is the most unusual and interest
ing document of the kind from YER
mont governor Of the present genera
ton. Aside from it, recommendation
of change in the judiciary system of
the State it proposes to introduce a
more modern and concentrated plan
of taking care Of the business of the
State departments. The States present
method of doing business was put
in force when the gross expenses of
the State were less than a half million
dollars year. These expenses have
now grown to upwards Of two million
dollars a year and it is manifest that
the old way of doing business is not
adequate or efficient, While there are
some points in Governor Graham's sug-
gestions that seem to require further
study his message should be taken
seriously by the legislature and the
State. The effort so promptly started
in a few quarters to attempt to dis
credit the governors proposals should
be frowned upon. His summary of
recommendation is the result of four
teen years of intimate knowledge of
State affairs and not to be taken
lightly.

experience with a bear while hunting.
He traced it in snow to a cave, the trail
being very fresh. Having sat for two
hours watching in vain for it to come
out he decided to enter the small open
ing in the rocks and crawled in, rifle in
hand. AS soon as his body darkened
the opening bruin dashed by him
crushing him to the cave floor, as the
space was small. Unhurt he hurried
outside and took three shots at the
fleeing bear without result. The Incl
dent happened in Mendon.

IN THE HEAVY WEIGHT CLASS.
Burlington Free Press.

Since Lieutenant Governor Hurburd,
President Fairchild and Senator Foote
of Addison county, who will name the
Senate committees, are all in the heavy
weight class, senators will all doubtless
smile submissively over their committee
appointments, no matter how they may
chafe inwardly. However, we believe
fair play will characterize committee
appointments in the Senate, and the
same thing is true of Speaker Wilson s
committee selections.
