 By sr overwhelming majority the Chamber of Commerce of the Unit ed States voted to unite in dis crimination against German goods after the war if the menace of Ger many's military sutocracy WAS nor removed. If Germany refuses to accest the peace terms laid down by President Wilson within fixed time, then for every week the war is prolonged, Lord Sydenham pro poses that no German vessel be allowed to enter or leave any A mericNn port, including the Panama Canal, for one year
 "Whatever course the war may take" says Lord Sydenham, "let this he fixed and irreVOcable." In is address of last December Presi- dent Wilson said that, if the Ger many of intrigue and force be not utterly brought to an end. 1t should

"SCALPER" OF LIBERTY
 BONDS UNDER ARREST

San Francisco, Aug 12. - An alleged "scalper" of Liberty Bonds has just been indicted by the Fed eral grand jury in Cleveland. The defendant is an Akron, Ohio, resi- dent and the four counts in the indictment accuse him of violating the espioE age and seditton laws by representing that Liberty Bonds are likely 10 become worthless. The purpose of his propaganda was to induce holders to these bonds to sell them to him at prices far be- low their value.
 To the bond holders he is al- leged to have said: "The way the war is going the bonds won't be worth anything year frorn now.". He bought slOO bonds for SS5 and is said to have made as high as $500 week by his operations.
 A few days ago Governor James K. Lynch of the Federal Reserve Bank addressed 8 letter to all Lib erty Loan chairmen in this district making 2 full report of all com panies that were offering to eN- change stock for Liberty Bonds.

CARrB6t TO BE CROSSED
 WITH THE REINDEER

St. Jthns, N. F., Aug. 12. -Af- ter s12 years of experimenting in the raising of Dapland reindeer in northern Newfoundland, Dr. Will fred T. Grenfell, the Labrador medi- cal missionary, has decided to trans fer his herd to Canadian Labrador. An effort will be made there to in troduee' strain of native caribou blood into the herd which has de- teriorated through years of in breeding. Territory west Of Belle Isle Strait in Canadian Labrador has been selected for the new enter prise.
 pr Grenfell has long held the theory that caribou might be in pred with reindeer to produce a highly efficient draft animal, suit able for use along the North coast He was unable to give this theory Ia thorough test in Newfoundland. The country selected as the new home of the reindeer is remote from settled areas and considered well suited for the purpose. By agree7 ment with the government of the province of Quebec increases in the herd may be shipped back to New Foundland if the owner desires, as.
 The GrenfeH herd consists of 300 animals. virtually the same mum Der landed by the missionary twelve years ago at St. Anthony when he introduced reindeer to this prov inc.e At one time the, herd mum Dered 1900 but 1t decreased as 1t deteriorated from lack of new blood Dr. Grenfell, who is now in the North country on missionary work, expects that a government steamer will transport the deer to their new feedin: grounds this summer.

REoRGANIzE sKAGwAY's HOME
GUARD

The Alaska Home Guards. This thought brings to our minds the "Skagway Home Guards" Where, oh. where are they?
 It is true that our little city is quiet end htere is no need for an armed force at the present moment, put what of the future Can it be said hat Skagway does hot believe in preparedness. can it be said that there might not De need for a quick response to arms when the press dispatches of today give an account of the war having been brought to our very door by the -ussiug of sentinels at one of the important coast guard stations of the nation?
 Then again the question comes up: wny is Skagway behind all the other progressive cities and towns in the Territory?
 The movement was we'll under way. and had the approval of all the best men in Skagway. The training was good, and each and every member of the infant organ .zation gained some insight into military drill. The training was in itself of value to the members of the original organization. They underwent training in the drill exer- c.Ses which was ot value to them physically. and was of value to them as patriots. for it gave to each one oJ them g slight idea of what mill cary training is, and as the reports come from lover there" is your u.nd entirely at rest as to the pos siuility that this frightful war will soon be over. and that you may never be called upon to join the co-ors"?

ANT-NIACHINE SENTIMENT
(Nenana News)

The fact that committee of con- gressmen, largely Democratic, have decided that the election of MT. Sulzer was not regular, will cause the shifting of many votes to Wick ersham, and the influence of the powerful Democratic machine will be taxed to the utmost to prevent 8. landslide. The voters of Alaska like g square deal, and many of them now feel, as the result of the decision of the congressional committee, that MT. Wickersham was not treated with fairness by Judge Jennings and the other pow erful Democratic supporters of MT. .Sulzer.
 Mir. Sul2er will find, upon his re turn T.. Alaska to conduct his cam paign, that sentiment is not so much against him e against the men who were responsible for the decision which enabled him to go to Washington. And this anti-ma- chine sentiment, of which We doubt less will hear lot during the cam paign, will make it hard sledding for the candidate Of the Democratic party. < Probably, next to Judge Wickersham, the men who will find greatest satisfaction in the decision of the congressional committee are ex-Governor Strong and Surveyor General Davidson, both of whom were accused, as mem Ders of the territorial canvassing board, of favoring Wickersham aud betraying ther own party.

VOLNEY RICHMOND
 ON HE OUTLOOK

VOlney Richmond, superintendent of the N. c. posts :,- the North, who left n the last boat for the lower river, expects to visit here again before the close of the season. While here he said to a representa- tive Of the Dawson News:
 The North no doubt will exper- fence quite a boom again after the war. People who have been North want to come again, and many now eoing South temporarily will Seize the first opportunity to get back. A man outside lives Up to his reYen- ue and he is tied down to a rou- tine. Up this way he has the chance of launching into the hills and doing something fer himself, and no douht many of the lads will come back sfter the war to open up the great resources of the land.
 "Our posts will be well stocked for the coming year, but, of course, there IS 8 general advance in prices throughout the North, as well as outside. I presume that the advance here for the year will average something near 10 per cent over the prices of last year, but it will average quite {" little higher in Alaska. That is for the reason the Alaskan posts had been stocked farther ahead and war conditions diI not sffect that country so early as it did this. Some goods have doubled in price the last year, es- leciaily woolens, cottons and leath- CT goods.
 Tn recent letter from the out side I heard that Tom McGowan, legal adviser of the company, Is not coming North this year, but will remain at his home in San Francisco. Tom is not quite as viz orous as he has been, but is await ing anxiously the time when he will be able to visit the good old North again"

FORCE

We are out to whip the Hun and no weapon must be neglected. Force without stint or limit means economic force as well as military.
 Every day the economic plight of Germany grows more desperate. Hunger stalks through the land Her statesmen and bankers stand appalled, before a debt whose inter est charge now almost equals the nations savings. The moral world Is against her.

 Let no ship, after the war, be cleared for an German port; let no ship flying her flag or doing business with Germany enter our ports; let all trade with her be abolished and let all telegraphic or express communication with her De

When the kidneys are weak they give unmitsakable warnings that should not be ignored. By examin- ing the urine and treating the kid neys upon the first sign of disorder. many days of suffering may be saved.

 As you will see 1t Is to Invite A merican women to join with us in raising funds to build this large and much needed Home fer our Seamen in the Fort Of London.
 It is an urgent and a pressing need as enclosed leaflet will show and We should greatly appreciate the enormous help you can give the scheme by giving it publicity in your journal.

 July 1918 Dear Madam:
 We are making an appeal to women who owe so much to the protection afforded by our splen- did Sailors to unite in an effort to raise a Fund for the building of great Sailors Home and Boys Hostel in the Port of London, as an expression of gratitude to those splendid men of both Sea Services who nave lost their lives in the service of their country and to those who are still facing the per ils of mines and submarines.
 It 's propoesd that each Coun- try subscribing should be repre- sented f the building by having its own section, so that it will be definitely recorded that the Home is provided by Women from all parts of the world.
 The Women of Great Britain and her Overseas Dominions invite their sisters in America to cooperate with them in this scheme, for it has been the privilege of the Brit ish & Foreign Sailors Society to extend a helping hand to their sons and brothers in our Institutes during the war. In the case of the "Tuscania" we received, thru the American Ambassador in London, the warmest thanks of the Govern ment and Army of the United States, for the help rendered.
 The need for tnis Home is great now, put will be infinitely greater In the days to come. Our Sailors come from all parts of the world, at all hours of the day and night, often finding the only places available for their accommodation very un- desirable ones, where temptations assaii them at every point, and yet they are the men who have stood between us and the fate of Belgium and France, and other nations.
 It will indeed oe 6 proud privilege for Women to feel that they have been able to erect this Home to stand as a lasting memorial of their gratitude to these gallant men, who for the sake of the Wo- men, the homes and liberty of the world, have never counted the cost, but have one and all proved themselves more than worthy of the proud traditions of the past.
 A large sum of money will be required, and the more we are able to collect, the mora adequate the Home will be for the needs of the men and boys.
 Yours faithfully,
 BEATRICE DIMSDALE, President of the Ladies Guild, Brit ish and Foreign Sailors Socy.
