A STACKER

We give you our service, you shut
off our beer,
But the Stacker can drink until he is
full to the ear,
We leave our good homes to protect
you from harm,
While the Stacker goes by with q girl
on each arm.
And laughs at the jacky, poor, un-
lucky cuss,
You can go with a Stacker but why
criticize Us?
The Stacker rides around in a Ford
Of his own,
And charges two bits for taking rs
home.
We are doing our duty. his liver is
white,
And we go to bed at nine every night,
While the Stacker stays out as late
as he cares,
And laughs at the jacky, that is if
he dares.
Discipline, we know, is thing that
must be,
But honest to goodness, we fail to
see,
Why the drinks of the jacky are milk
and pop,
And the whistles and cocktails of
the Stacker never stop.
The Stacker can dance, but it seems
rather hard,
That at a social dance, the jaeky is
barred.
We have shouldered our rifle and tax
en- our place,
And will go to our death with smile
on our face.
We are fighting to kill the Prussian
autocracy,
And you must help US preserve our
national democracy.
This is jacly that envies everyone
of you,
Until we go over, please, oh! please,
people use US true.

DISLOYAL ELEMENT CHARGED
 ATTEMPT DELAY U. $. WORK

ANCHORAGE among federal employees and attempts to de- lay government projects and incite ferment and disorder by disloyal per sons is the startling condition point ed out here by the federal grand jury in it's final report to Judge Brown.
 Concerning these charges the re- port says:
 Investigation by us has revealed that there is an element in our midst, some of whom are earning their live lihood from the government, who are disloyal to the government. opposed to the present war, who seek to fer ment discontent and disorder, and who are trying to impede the prosecu- tion of governmental projects and en- terprises, and we therefore recom- ment that congress enact a law that will amend our present law on sedi- tion and make it offense for any one who by word or deed tries to stir up strife, to arouse difficulties and dis order in our industrial conditions, in- terferes with or obstructs government tai enterprises and undertakings, and who in any manner strives to impede the government in prosecution of the war or carrying out all governmental projects"
 Another paragraph in the report be- side the usual findings follows:
 "We wish to call the courts atten- tion of the phenomenal frowth of this section of the Third division. and ow- ing to the increased court business, the urgent necessity for a federal building suitable for court purposes at Anchorage"

He states that while the soldiers were not needed at the scene of the strike it was thot best by the government to have them there, as one of two men could do damage to the mine buildings and bridges it would take a year to re- place.
 One I. w. W. was arrested by Mar shal Brenneman, after he had plain- ly shown his stand on the strike.

Regulations Governing Selecting Men Issued Today by the Direction of Their Work FearleSsly.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. July a. Regulations governing the selection of the national army from the nine mill lions who registered, were issued to- day by the President. who makes it clear that there will be no class ex- emption, but that each indicidual case will stand upon it's own merits.
