WHY JUNEAU ACTED

Some of the good people of Ketcht- kan were nettled because the Juneau Red Cross chapter requested people of that city to contribute to the Red Cross War Fund through this city, and seemed to think the request was in' spired by unseemly nerve" The fact is that Juneau was requested to take charge of raising funds in Alaska for the Red Cross during the drive for the week which began June IS, and terminates today, in all those towns except Douglas. Treadwell and Wran-
 gell. because it has an organized, af- filiated chapter of the American Red Cross while other towns than those mentioned have not. The request came from the National organization and was passed along by the Juneau representatives of the order pursuant to that request It probably had nev- CT occurred to any one in this city to go out of its own environs to get mon. ey until came the request that was wired here by the manager of the Pac- fife Coast Division of the great organ ization. Certainly there was no de- sire to profit in any way. The whole
 purpose was to cooperate with the National organization in raising funds for patriotic and humane cause
 Really there is no town in Alaska or elsewhere more admired here or hay ing higher regard in Juneau hearts than Ketchikan.-Juneau Empire.
