PROMOTION IN
 SIGNAL CORPS

Yesterday the atmosphere in the vicinity of the signal corps office was blue. Not the blue that ema. mates from profanity or the con- cepted expression of the human feel. ings, but from a fragrant Havana it was smoke. The occasion was the passing around of the smokes to celebrate the promotions of two mem bers of the signal corps.
 Operator in Charge J. E. Pegues was promoted to the rank of ser. geant, first class. F. G. Griffin. who has been attached to the local of flee for the past three years, was promoted to corporal and will from this time on wear the chevrons.. Both boys are we'll pleased over their advancement and could not help passing out the fragrant weed to their many friends, who congratu' late them on their advancement.

PREPARE FOR THE LOAN

In little more than two weeks, on Aprl 6, to be exact, the third Liberty Loan, the first of 1918, will be placed before the coun- try for subscriptions. The determination of the people of the country to see the war through to a victorious conclusion will be largely tested by this loan.
 The first enthusiasm, which naturally fol lows the declaration of war, is over and VIC have settled down to looking at war in it: grimmest aspect. No longer will superficial emotions be counted on to produce subscrib- CTS; what is achieved now will represent the real feeling of the people of the United States, and there must be no occasion for the enemy to assume that the people are not behind the government in its war prepara- tiOnS.
 Not more than ten million subscribers took part in both of the first loans. This mat ter is not alone a question of the amount of money raised, but rather the distribution ac- complished. The more subscribers obtained the more backing the government has, the more vitally interested the people become in the war and our success
 To both of the previous loans, Fairbanks has subscribed largely. In this third one, our subscriptions should total at least as much as the total subscribed for both the other two, and the number of subscribers for the third Liberty Loan should exceed by at least fifty per cent the number participating in former loans. It is the purpose of the na- tional loan committee to secure at least l5.- OO0OOO subscribers as against not quite 10, OO0OOO for the first and second loans
 It is most important that these bonds

CIVIL SERVICE.
 PROVIDE HOMES FOR EMPLOYEES

In order to procure workers for it's war needs, the civil service com. mission is giving wide publicity to the fact that it is willing to provide adequate housing facilities for those l who enter the commissions service For the purpose of securing the ser. vices of war workers, the commis. sion has issued the following infor. nation to the public:
 The federal government Is not only giving close attention to the matter of the proper housing of its new ap. pointees in Washington. but the gen. eral welfare of the employees is now considered in greater measure than ever before. Many of the young peo- pie who have come to Washington for war work are hundreds. even thousands, of miles from home for the first time in their lives. They are strangers in a strange land, and it is not to be wondered at that they become homesick and magnify the troubles that they are bound to meet during the period of adjust ment to new conditions. The depart. ment heads realize that a good clerk must be a contented one. and many offices have appointed welfare work CTS whose business it is to take an unobtrusive interest in the affairs of the employees and to try to help them with their difficulties. Experi- ments along this line have had such good results that the number of of. Aces which employ welfare workers is increasing.
 Since the war began about 25,000 employees have been added to the civil service in Washington, D. c. The United States civil service com mission, whose duty 1t is to recruit this branch of the service. estimates that this calendar year will add an other 10000. Stenographers are be- ing appointed in great numbers. There is also need for clerks, both men and women, who are trained in certain special or technical lines, ship draftsmen, mechanical drafts, men, and workmen in trades con- nected with shipbuilding. The repre- sentatives of the civil service com mission at the post offices in all cities are prepared to furnish def. mite information and application blanks.

WILL
 BE SUBSTITUTE
 FOR FLOUR NOW

Upon instructions received from Ju neau. Luther C. Hess. food admins trator for the Fourth division, makes public the fact that potatoes may be used as a substitute for wheat flour.
 The information conveyed in the message proportions the amount to be sold as four pounds of potatoes to one pound of other substitutes. This Is COL strued to mean that with every sale of wheat -four in Fair banks and the outlying country tn" merchants will sell ten per cent of other substitutes to forty per cent of potatoes, instead of twenty Der cent of cereal substitutes as was required before. The message re- ceived by MT. Hess is as follows:
 Juneau. Alaska. Mar. 19, 1918 Luther c. Hess.
 Food Administrator. Fourth Dlvi- sion, Fairbanks, Alaska.
 Until further notice, potatoes may be sold as substitutes for wheat flour, providing they constitute but one half of the required amount of sub stitutes, and are sold al the ratio of four pounds of potatoes to one pound of substitutes.

CERMANY'S WAR
 COSTS INCREASE

 AMSTERDAM, Mar. 21.-In ad dressing the reichstag at the first reading of the German war credit bill for 15,OOO,OOO,OOO marks. Count von Roedern, secretary of the i'm. perial treasury, said that Germany war costs have increased from 2.000,- 100000 marks monthly in the winter of 1915 and 1916 to 3,750,0OO,O 900 marks per month during the past five months. There is every pros pect. he declared. of this cost being further increased during the next few months.
 The total cost of the war to date, he declared, is $50, ,000, ,OOO, ,00O marks Of this sum. he stated, the allies have expended 375.OOO. 100000 and the Teutonic alliance .O00.0O0.OOO. He gave no hopes for any relief from the strain of the financial burden in the near future.

WORM NOW IDENTIFIED BY A SCIENTIST

For many years the cheechako has been regaled with stories of one of Alaska's most noted progenies, the ice worm. The attention of the newcomer is called repeatedly to the honey-combed condition of the ice just shortly before the breakup as the ice worms work; the peculiar noises emitting from the ice in the process of freezing or in the run to the humble worm that infests the ice fields. Many tales have been told to the unsuspecting of the ice worm being a delicacy when other food sources have failed. AS an all round substitute for food the ice worm is pre-eminent when the un- suspecting cheechako is under the tutelage of the sourdough. Now comes a scientist with a statement in a recent Literary Digest that the Alaska myth is a reality. although existing in another part of the world. The statement is as follows:
 "Mr. F. E. Mathes, of the United States Geological Survey, has recent ly described some curious worms that abound on the lower parts of the Mount Rainier glaciers. They are dark brown. slender. and about an inch in length On favorable days in July and August millions and millions of them may be found writhing on the surface of the ice. evidently breeding there and feeding on organic matter blown upon the glacier in the form of dust. So es- sential to their existence says MT. Matthes, Ifs the chill of the ice that they enter several inches, and some. times many feet. below the surface on days when the sun is particu- larly hot, reappearing late in the afternoon.

 BEING MAILED

The office of Local Board r. was busily engaged yesterday in prepar- ing and mailing the questionnaires to the registrants whose names ap- pear on the registration list. Some of these papers will be sent to the States as far as Reno, Nevada.
 It is impressed on those who will be concerned to call at the post office as often as possible tO in quire If the questionnaires have ar rived. On receipt of the paper those receiving them should make the return as soon as possible. Those who have changed their place of residence should notity the local board of such change in order that the papers may be sent to the cJ.. rect address. The neglect of the registrant to make proper returns will not be tolerated by the boa l as ample time will be given in which to make such returns.
 The board is now sending o,' about five per cent of the recistra- tion daily, taking in all about twcnfy two days to mail the complete list.

be purchased with money from savings ii possible. And saving is better done befor. than after. If we have the money on hand for the purchase, it prevents tying up bank funds which can thus be used for other pur- poses equally as important. But if one has not been able to save the necessary amount required for the purchase of bonds, the easy payment system will again play big part in the campaign, and lien upon the savings of the future may thus be made serviceable
 It is estimated that person buying a Sl,OOO Liberty Bond provides the government with sufficient funds to equip twenty-five sol diers with two rifles each, or full company with 100 rounds of ammunition Thus the man buying S20,OoO worth of bonds can say that he provides for the clothing of a full company. ---s .-...
 The loan which opens April is more nearly the accurate gauge of the strength of Americans determination to win the war than either of the other loans hoated Every day devoted to individual saving in order to take part in the loan increases the determination to win.

KEYS BOYS ARE

Both of them are doing finely. but are com pelled to remain there for about thirty days longer than they had figured on.

man brute that strikes against civili. zation in Europe. A man may have been born in Germany and his fore. fathers before him for countless gen erations and yet not be the Gel man of which speak. We have thou sands of Germans in our own coun try and there are thousands more in Germany who hate German militar. ism as genuinely as the most loyal American among us. God pity them that they have to be stigmatized by the same name as those that repre- sent German militarism. God pity the helpless mothers of Germany that are compelled to send their sons forth to murder the mothers of other sons.
 No true American will. for an in- stant, hold anyi prejudice against any man simply because he is a Ger man. No true American will hesi- tate for one instant to give our gov ernment his utmost support in wag- ing war against that German mon- ster that is holding the people of Germany in subjection and menac- ing all free peoples.
 Germany has decreed war. So war it shall be. War to the death War so long as we have an ounce of strength. War so long as we have an ounce of manhood. But let us fight like men, not to drop our arms and with uplifted hands cry for mercy kamerad." Let us die fighting with our eyes upon that bright and shining star that guides to peace and the brotherhood of man.
 Let us not pollute the sanctity of the word peace by thinking of such thing as long as the German brute still lives. Peace. Peace. Can health ever make peace with disease? Can right ever make peace with wrong? God forbid that any shall be led astray by Germany's peace talk.--Contributed
