This measure applies primarily, Of

GENERAL HAIG

Sir Douglas Haig, supreme com mander of the British armies on the west front, is 56 years old "Dougie, !" IS the Tommies call him, was born at Fife on June 19, 1861. He cones of an old Scotch family, famed for their fighting qualities in the old days of border warfare.
 He was educated at Clifton and BrasenOse College, Oxford. He holds the unique distinction of being prac- tically the only really great soldier of today who has completed a uni versity course.
 General Haig is a cavalryman. In 1885 he began his career in the army, entering the Seventh Hussars. His rise was rapid. After being attached to the staff college he served through the Soudan campaign in 1898, was General French's chief staff officer at Colesburg in the South African war, and from 1909 to 1906 he was inspec- tor general of cavalry in India
 At the outbreak of the European was he was the commanding general at Aldershot. He was placed in com mand of the First corps, and led it at the retreat from Mons, the battles of the Marne, Aisne and Ypres. In charge of the First army, he fought at Neuve Chapelle, Festubert, Givenchy and Loos.
 Since he succeeded Field Marshall Lord French as n-chiefI of the English forces in the west hi most brilliant achievements have been the victories at the Somme, the

LET'S MAKE IT $15o,ooo

We are down to brass tacks thi! afternoon. This is our last day ot grace. It is expected that by sunset tomorrow Cordova shall have gone over the top" in the third Liberty loan drive by subscribing three times our quota, or $141,O00. The goal is in sight, and as a patriotic people we can not falter with the race almost run. If we would be loyal Alaskans and genuine Americans we will make one supreme effOrt-a final spurt that should carry us we'll past the $15O,OOO mark
 The time has passed to speak of Liberty bonds as a profitable invest ment, affording safe and sound secur- jty as the main attraction. That argu- ment is a waste of words today. No red-blOOded American will longer stop to reckon profits or count the cost of the contribution that the nation ex- poets of him. The call for genuine sacrifice has come and there is no escaping it. It is that spirit and no other which must prompt us from now on. The crisis abroad is a chal- lenge to every citizen-it puts him ton his mettle. The bonds he buys today and hereafter will represent something finer than a guaranteed in Yestment they will embody a sub stantial testimonial to his right to consider himself a true American There is no middle ground any longer. The Liberty bonds draw the dead line.
 Who has not heard the stirring ap-I peal? Who would still argue the mat ter further? The question which evening is not whether he should buy a Liberty bond, but what size. And if he has already bought a bond, then his chief concern should be whether he should not buy another regardless of the personal sacrifices involved. For surely if the citizen at home buys bonds now until he goes broke, he will not even then have made the sacrifice that millions of his fellow country men have made who are marching to the firing line. But there is little need for logic at this juncture. He is in- deed a miserable specimen of man hOod-a sham as a citizen and shame to his community and his coun- try-whO does not feel the swell of an overwhelming inspiration within him, urging him to shoulder his ful' share of the sacrifices involved in the stupendOus struggle.
 All other considerations aside, it be- hOOves every genuine American to take counsel with his conscience. That, after all, must determine his attitude on the bond issue The day has passed when any citizen can still pinch his pennies and hope to main tain his own self-respect or the high esteem of othe~a. It is war to the bitter end from now on and those who

President Wilson does not need a
congress in sympathy with his Win
the-war policy. The allied nations
have won the war Germany may
continue to fight on the defensive
for months to come, but her offens-
i've power has been destroyed The
end is only question of time What
the President does need is con-
press in sympathy with his after-the
war policies. They are the all-im-
portant issues today and he needs
congressman who will support him
with both hands, not those who Will
use one hand to support him and the
other hand to support a political
party hostile TO him. If you have
faith in the President, vote to send
a congressman to Washington who
wants to sec his administration sue
