SOLDIERS GUARD IMPORTANT BUILD-
 INGS IN SkAGWAY

The Skagway Alaskan of the 21st, contains the following.
 Upon request of the Skagway Coun- cil of Defenso. sixteen soldiers from Ft. Wm. Il. Seward arrived in Skag- way last night at o'clock and were immediately detailed on guard duty. The water front, White Pass offices, Customs building, Broadway. the court house, and the car shops were put under guard Soldiers are patrol ling the streets today.
 Excitement prevailed in the city last night. and many rumors made their way among the people. Word from responsible government men, was re- ceived on the City of Seattle, that a general plot was on foot by Germans to destroy certain property throughout the United States and it's possessions on January 21. Every city was warn- ed, and as Skagway IS the gateway to the interior the Defense Council deem- ed it wise to take extra precautions here and asked for troops. In addit- ion to the soldiers, Carson, Page and Hardy and an extra watchman were on duty last night and were under or ders to investigate any suspicious char acter.
 During the late hours of the night the cabin in which Fred Kruhe was living was entered by government men and Kruhe was taken to the court house for investigation as suspici- ous character. When found Kruhe was lying in bed, completely dressed, even to having on boots and fur cap. Tn his possession were found notes written in shorthand which he says are a combination of five different sys- tems, but which neither, he, nor any one else, can read. The finger nails of Kruhe's hands are black and stain ed from chemicals. He knows chem ical formulas, which he says he has learned while studying the chemical process for extracting gold. Kruhe is partially supported by his father so he claims, who lives in Fairbanks, but he. himself, has done little work for years.
 kruhe came to Skagway about two months ago, from Juneau, and has done no work in that time and has kept close to his house. He is thin, unkempt, and has the appearance of being sick but says he is in perfect health Although not arrested, Kruhe is being detained for further investiga- ton.
 Soldiers will probably be in the city for several days, guarding against any eventuality that may arise. No dam age has been reported from the States and it is possible that the plot has been thwarted or postponed.
 Later the authorities found that Kruhe a few years ago had been an inmate of the insane asylum for few months. He is to be sent to his fath- CT in Fairbanks.

Ask Only a Square Deal

Perth Amboy resents the attack made upon this city by the COM
manding officer at Camp Raritan. While we do not claim to be q
model city by any means, we do insist that we are no worse than the
average city.
In one sense, the action Of the Camp Raritan authorities might
be taken As a compliment. 1t seems that one of the first things done
when the soldiers came was to put military police in New Brunswick.
Apparently the military authorities had no confidence whatever in
the New Brunswick police and did not even give them a chance. But
evidently Perth Amboy's reputation was better 50 the local authori-
ties were deemed capable of handling the situation.
That the local authorities have not accomplished all that was ex-
pected of them is not surprising. The expectation of military author
-fy, especially in regard to discipline, is vastly different from the ideas
Of civil authorities. 1t would seem, therefore, that when the com
mander at Camp Raritan found that conditions at Perth Amboy
were not what he had anticipated, he might have taken them up
with the mayor or chief of police and suggested improvements be-
fore taking such drastic steps as he has done.
Perth Amboy has been glad to welcome the soldiers. The broad
minded policy of the local Y. NJ c. A, which has thrown its wonder
full equipment wide open TO the soldiers is in striking contrast with
the Y. M. G. A. at New Brunswick, where the Y. NJ. G. A. has refused
to admit the men in uniform.
While we are not excusng the local police for any of their short
eomngs, the fact remains, they have a difficult task in handling the
soldiers especially when some people are so willing TO assist the
soldiers eVade the law by making purchases for them.
There Is no denying the fact that much better work could be
done II the city had an excise board that was willing to work with
the police bn: that is hopeless until q pew board IS elected.

Today We Celebrate

Anniversary of Newspaper Advertising
Advertising, now the main prop and
support of a vast majority of newspa.
pers and periodicals, was given little
consideration by early publishers, and
the vast advertising industry is @
growth of the last century.
In the days of the Stuarts in Eng
land ne industry could succeed with
out the approval and patronage OF
royalty, and today marks the 254th
anniversary of the first kingly recog-
milton of the value OF newspaper ad-
vertising. In the Kingdoms Intelli-
gencer of that date, Charles II an
nounced that on certain days his sa-
cred majesty" would heal his peo-
on of royal hands, and would at the
expiration of the period discontinue
the treatment till Michaelmas next
A few advertisements had been
printed in English journals and news
letters before that time, but the rec
ognition of the king gave a great I'M
petus to the industry, and in 1864 and
succeeding years many lads" were
printed in the Intelligencer of Sir
Roger L'Estrange, and its successor,
the London Gazette.
Many of the advertisements of that
period dealt with strange and magical
practices and drugs for the cure OF
various ailments, so King Charles II
was not the only advertising ''quack.''
From the earliest period of Ameri-
can journalism which had its begin
ming in the United States at Boston
and in Canada, at Halifax, the pub
fishers solicited advertisements. The
Boston Newsletter. the first regularly
published newspaper in America, In
it's initial number April "a, 1904. car
ried appeals for ads" John Camp
bell, the editor and publisher, and also
postmaster of Boston, announced that

This Is a doubtful day, according to
~astrology, for the stars contend for
good and evil domination. While
Jupiter, Uranus and Venus are In
beneflc aspect, part of the time, the
planets change to maleflc aspects.
During this con1guration IL Is well
to be cautious about thoughts as well
as actions.
Women are supposed to be exceed
ingly uncertain and capricious under
this sway. The stars indicate that
the law of extremes Will affect them
Is 1t effects all things else, and that
while many will rise to supreme
heights of heroism, others will be ex-
traordinarily selfish and mercenary.
This is not a favorable day for low
ers, who may be easily provoked with
each other. There is also a sway that
Is encouraging to deceitfulness
1t is wise to be cautious In associat-
ing with relatives or friends during
this planetary direction, as the stars
may encourage discussions and dis
agreements.
One of the strange results of the
evil aspects of the stars, which are
supposed to produce war, is the fall
ing away of friends, a~strologers de-
clare. Social conditions and relations
will change radically each year, they
p~rophesy.
Venus is in a place making of run
usual interest in dress, and again
there is a representation hat a ma
tion-wide compaign for economy or
for standardized attire for women
may take place before autumn.
Ther is an aspect that causes the
seers to emphasize the wisdom of
caring for many personal possessions
of small value, because these will be-
come precious, since their manufac-
ture will not be resumed after the
war.
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is prob
ably will travel and change places of
residence. They have the omen OF
domestic anxiety. They should be
cautious in money affairs.
Children born on this day may be
inclined to be careless and untidy.
These subjects of Cancer are likely
to be unsettled in nature and fon OF
change.
