"NOW IS THE TIME
 TO FIGHT HARDER"

Alaskans, who have prob ably been hardest hit finan- cially of those of any section of the United States on ac- count of the war, are prac- tically unanimously agreed that there should be no peace with Germany until the mill tary and monarchial autocracy of that country is crushed and their rule in Central Europe and elsewhere ended for all time. For the consummation of this program they will stake their last dollar and their last personal effort. Let the war continue until the purposes for which it is being fought are achieved in full measure.
 In the language of Secre- tary McAdoo Now is the time to fight harder"

THE CANADIAN VIEW

TORONTO, Oct. 7.-The Canadian newspapers, while admitting that the latest Teuton pace proposal is an improvement over previous of. fers, expect that public opinion in France has a considerable distance to travel yet before it reached any satisfactory ground for genuine peace terms. All of the papers demand an unconditional surrender on the part of the Central Powers. They assert that it must be for something that Canada and other civilian nations have shed the best blood of their manhood-a definite understanding that the cause for another such a war must be removed
