And so when the soldier Of Christ has fallen
victim to the share of the enemy. when he
has gone adrift on the byways of sin and
temptation and is an outcast of the world he
served so well. and when the demon Of despair
approaches with suggestion of committing even
greater crime on his own life. then, he, too.
looking into the far distance of his once happy
youth, sees another Red Gross and on it a
figure bleeding, whose blood made the first
Red Cross on Calvarys brow: that cross too
will speak of mercy and forgiveness that the
world knows not. it will revive his downcast
spirit and lift him up again to begin new
life and persevere. Oh, let the story of that
cross sink deep into your heart and soul and
let it become the silver lining the clouds of
disappointment and adversely that so often we
meet along life's journey.
Graduates of 1918: A few years ago your
school, your alma mater, received you at her
threshold with maternal affection; with falter
ing steps you to see what a school looked
like near at hand; you brought with you the
golden dowry Of youth, enthusiasm and I'M
dying hope to win success, and today you see
your labor crowned with the reward Of a
diploma of which you justly may feel proud.
But all is not over yet; today you leave the
life of school to enter the school of life; today
you have broken with the past, and, like Paul
of Tarsus rising from the footstool of CANA
liel, you have risen from the feet of your
preceptors. Today you stand on the same
plane with those who yesterday We're your
superiors, your instructors and your masters,
henceforth you stand or fall by your own
strength or weakness
Remember there is no royal road to success
it must be won by labor, by perseverance and
the full realization of your own limitations.
Let the lessons you have learned at home, at
church and at school go with you through
life; love truth, honesty and clean life and
you shall not fail; set your face against all
that is false and low and transitory. Sell
not your soul, like Esau of old sold his birth
right for mess of pottage; say sell it not
for the feetng enjoyment Of sinful pleasure
that will leave stain your character and
sting in your heart that bitter tears in your
declining years will not wash away.
This world is too small to form fitting home
for the soul. St: Paul says: eve have not
here lasting abode, but we seek one that is
to come" And he adds, when this house of
this habitation is dissolved, there remains one
not made with hands, eternal in heaven" And
your own Lord and Master bids you remember,
"Be faithful until death and will give thee
the crown of life'' And so let me conclude in
the words of St. Paul. $50 run that you may
obtain" and may God bless you.

Wisconsin's Disgrace.

Probably in almost every public

evidences Of the German propaganda

to be thrown out. It is easy to identi-
fly it. It's eradication is quite as i'm

Oak Knoll Cemetery Upkeep.

Those who wish their cemetery lots
taken care Of this summer, and who
have not already paid in for that pur-
pose, are requested to do so promptly
in order that the Civic Betterment
club can know how much of fund
they can depend upon to carry on the
work this season.
At least two dollars is required for
the upkeep of one lot. Anyone who
gives the matter any thought must
know that anything less than that is
inadequate; and those who feel that
they can afford to do so should pay
more, and not altogether for philan-
thropic reasons either.
It is quite true that if every lot
owner would pay in two dollars there
would be sufficient money to keep the
cemetery in excellent condition and
likely enough also to put in the much
needed improvements. But there are
number of things to be taken into
consideration. Oak Knoll is a very
old burying place some of the graves
dating back to fifty or more years ago.
Many Of these have long been without
anyone to care for them, and there
are good many lots whose owners
have moved away and it is impossible
to secure their addresses. These lots
must be cared for-.not solely out of
sentiment but for the practical reason
that weeds and undesirable grasses
spread very quickly from them, and
their general unkempt appearance
would detract greatly from those kept
in order.
The lots Of those who are living in
this community who do not pay into
the fund and of those who have been
notified and do not respond are al
lowed to look uncared for although,
unfortunately, they have to have
some attention to keep them from be-
ing menace to the neighboring lots.
This is now the third season that
the Civic Betterment club has collected
the money and attended to the upkeep
of the cemetery, and in the main their
efforts are appreciated. But as in all
such affairs there are always some who
are dissatisfied. These fail to take in
to consideration that at the rate of two
dollars for the season Of three months
they are paying 16 2-3 cents week,
and therefore should not expect to
have their particular property have
constant care.
Through the season the lots are
kept cut and trimmed and the plants
are watered once day. This watering
has to be done from pumps, so it can
be easily seen, that even with the aid
of a water wagon, during a long hot
spell the vegetation is bound to suffer,
especially where the graves or lots
are raised above the general level.
| There should be windmill on the
place so the water could be easily car
ried by means of hose to all parts Of
the cemetery. 81
| Last year there was not sufficient
money! paid in to pay the expenses for
the three months and the club had to
meet the deficit. This should not be
necessary, and it will be difficult for
the club to do so this season, as it is
hard for organizations to raise money
this year for anything other than for
war purposes. " # 81 .l,

The Union has no desire to do Mr..
Holm or anyone else an injustice and
gladly gives space to the letter.
Mr.. Holm is the Onamia man who
refused to take Liberty loan bonds,
and the solicitor, G. H. Carr, alleged
that he made some very unpatriotic
remarks. Mr.. Carr wrote the Union
a letter in which he quoted Mr.. Holm's
remarks, and requested that the same
be published. The quoted remarks ap-
peared in the issue Of the 25th ult.
Apparently Mr.. Holm gives good
reasons why he was not in a position
to invest in Liberty loan bonds.
What the Union took exceptions to
were the unpatriotic remarks that Mr..
Holm is alleged to have made.

battles with sword or cannon, He labored not
for human glory reward, He promised no

to fight the greatest of all battles-the bat

ADMIRAL IN REVOL I
Plan as Outlined Was to Capture Cruiser, After Killing Officers
 Aboard.

LONDON, Aug. 7.-It is Iumored here from sources considered worthy of notice that German sailors at WiIhelmshaven, one of the big Ger man submarine bases, have revolted against a continuation of the sub marine warfare.
 It is reported that propagandists among the men melted the men aboard various undersea craft to leave on cruise.
 According to the plan outlined, as far as could be learned from the re- ports received, the sailors were to attack the officers, then surrender the vessels to the Allies, or seek an opportunity to sink them, and get themselves interned in neutral harbors.
 It is reported that over 50 sub marines s44ave fecSntiy" disappeared.
 According to the reports received, 23 of the ringleaders of the mutiny have been sentenced to death.
 Correspondents say the rumors are conflicting and actual facts are diff ficult to obtain.

 CANNERY TO
 MAKE DONATION
Answers the Call of the Ar. menian and Syrian Re- lief Committee with
 a Check.

The Hoonah Packing Company Is the first cannery to respond to the call of the Committee on Armenian and Syrian Relief for funds. The company sent check to John Reck, the treasurer, for $50. It is expected that every cannery in this section will contribute and thus help to raise the S2.50000 which the committee has undertaken to secure.
 Lists of subscribers to date will be published as soon as they can be prepared.
 Tomorrow night there will be a band concert at the Perseverance mine and speakers will be present to talk on the subject and to make an appeal for contributions.
 Juneau has not failed to make good on every appeal for funds needed for the Government and for war re, lief. Thus far we have always raised considerably more than 100 per cent. of the amount asked and in some instances we have gone as high as 200 per cent The committee will put forth extra efforts to see that the record is retained and that we do not fail in raising the required $2,500.00.
