DAWSON WOMAN HAS PRAISE
 FOR Us

Mrs. George Craig, who passed through Skagway recently enroute to her home in Dawson, having been in London, England, for more than a year and whom the Alaskan inter- viewed while she was in Skagway, nraises President Wilson as lead CT and compliments Skasway.
 In an article in the Dawson News she says: T was astonished on coming to Canada and finding what a vast difference there is in the diet. The people of Canada must learn to conserve. Yukon must al- so get down to the war rations. l was shocked here to find this com muni' / eating white bread, and in dulging in cakes and many luxuries and with the baconless and beefless days being observed only in res taurants. The people must come To realize it. The Americans have evidently caught the idea, for on touching Skagway, the only Ameri- can point I visited while enroute to Dawson, I found they are on ra- tions or food restrictions which hold down the allowance.
 "The opinion prevails now that, since the United States has come In, that President Wilson is the gigantic personality of the Allied cause. He Is regarded as a master mind, and his statements and his judgment have great weight with the Allied cause. While the Am ericans were slow in 8 way in con- ing in, it Is now regarded as some what characteristic perhaps the way g great democracy enters war as a coAtraBt to some of the old monar- chial methds."

Learn 70 Swim.

Swimming should be muGe part of our school training IL is iu some schools already. but. instead of being occasional. it should he compulsory. Every Sumn,r brings d pathetic string of drowning acciieutS and nine out of ten of these would not happen if the people engaged knew Eow 10 swim.
 Parents who protest against their lit- tie boys going swimming for fear they will be drowned should rather urge them to go 50 as 10 learn how to avoid being drowned. Not one Is drowned trying to learn tO swim tU a hundred drowned because they never tried to learn. 1t is facility as easily acquired as walking. Hartford Cour- Gut.

Loan workers today redoubled their
initial efforts that Ell Centre and I'M

the nations fighters.
Up to the close of business this aft
ernoon it was expected that $4,000
worth of bonds had been subscribed
fora 25 per cent oversubscription
on the daily average that insult be OBJ
tanned to meet this city's quota
The opening day Of the big drive
netted about $4,000 in subscriptions
taken at the banks and at the cam
paign headquarters. All but $4,000 Of
this amount was pledged by purchas-
ers calling at the campaign offices.
Today's total, it is expected, will
add $4,000 additional. To reach its
goal in the eighteen days of the cam
paign's duration, Ell Centre must sub
scribe an average of $4,000 day.
The majority of the initial subscrip-
tions We're for sizable amounts, rang
ing from $500 to $4,000.
The city of Ell Centre has been di-
vided into nine different district diff
ferent from previous campaigns, and

patched within "a hours.
Some trouble has been occasioned
by the finding ,that numbers who re-
returned their qucstionnaires by mail
failed to complete the task of filling
them out. 1t is likely that in eases
of this sort the registrant will be
called before the board to furnish the
necessary information.
The board has received word that
it has the authority to give passport
permits to registrants who have regu-
larly filed their questionnaires, even
though they have not been classified.

by the wonderful sons they have
borne and reared, and torn from
from their hearts to lay on the
altar of their country!
Like a Person.
There is something in the
French patriotism which we, of a
great free country as yet unas-
sailed, cannot quite appreciate;
for 1t takes adversely to test and
cement both friendship and love.
|, We love America because we
are. on the average, good citizens
with a high sense of responsible
ity, we love America vaguely, as
a principle; but an American Will
go very far indeed for a princi-
pie.
A Frenchman loves France as
IL she were a PERSON.
France Is his mother, and lis
undying devotion to her Is ce-
mented and sealed by the fact that
for centuries she has been threat
ened by the foe which invades her
now, and life itself Ia not too
precious a thing to lay down,
cheerfully and gladly, for the pro-
lection of La Patrie.
Better for Ordeal.
The nobility of that attitude is
reflected in the faces of all
France, and 1t Is not too much
to say. that, profound as her sor-
rows have been and deep as her
miseries have been, France ia the
better spiritually for the tremen-
dous sacrifices she has made.
That same foe would do to
America, and to all civilization,
what he has tried to do to France.
Your boy has seen and he has
heard much; escaped prisoners,
refugees from the stricken dis
tricts and contact with the homes
which have been SO ruthlessly
ravaged, are bringing to him q
more human reason than mere
DUTY for helping to destroy the
barbarity which has risen so hor-
ribly in the midst of peaceful
and O happy world.
He has been very close to the
reasons for the American entry
into this immense conflict, and
those reasons, as he has come
face to face with them here, have
reused in him a resolution which
can only be for his ultimate bet
terment, and the ultimate better
ment of his kind.
No, you need not worry about
your boy. He's getting along!"
Tomorrow: One Frenchman
Willing to Talk Peace.
