WHAT Is WRONG

Doesn't it seem strange that our Alaska
boys who were drafted, oh. 50 many months ago
are still lingering al the various camps. waiting
waiting TO be called to the front. but which call
never comes. We are almost tempted to say
that they are being Disseminated against. 1t
looks 70 us ike if they were dividing patriotism
among the fellows who never had CUTS enough
to break away t.om the hand-nursed and effete
States: sort OF feeling that while they are will
ing 10 take our money and all OF it and to set us
digging for more they are not willing to allow us
70 share in The glory of helping TO make civiliza-
tioon safe and certain. When we think of this
delay. a feeling Of resentment comes over us.
Our boys are just as good fighters as ever lived
Better by far than most Of the men at the front
now. They are not the kind who are likely TO
get cold feet at the approach Of few Huns
They can give them he'll in large doses. Yet
they are being reid back. What IS wrong?

ANOTHER KIND OF HEROES.

\ few days ago a 66-year old father was

Puget Sound cities. He had two sons at the

building ships. He was helping build the bridge

shield his boys against a day of hunger and
strengthen them for the combat with the Huns.

PLAYING ON ANOTHER STRING.

A writer in the Berliner Tageblatt says Ger
mans who belittle the efforts of America in the
war are fools Only short time ago. the
same newspaper and all other German news
papers were belttling Americas efforts. What
difference today. Evidently Pershing took
out that bombast and braggadocio out of them.
For they are gone. 1t would have been better
fer Germany if some full lunged German-Amer-
lean organizations and persons in this country
mad rot assured the German government that
America could not fight.

Secretary of War Tells West
Point Graduates How Re-
sponsibility is Met.

WEST POINT, N. Y, June - -
More than million American fighting
men will be in service in France in
the near future, declared Secretary of
War Baker in an address to 1877 gredu-
ates Of the United States Military
Academy.
Supplementing his recent announce
ment in Washington that United States
troops exceeding 100000 in number"
have disembarked on French soil, the
secretary told the cadets ut is not UNI
fair to speculate that we will shortly
pass the million mark"
Today's graduation was that of the
class of 1919, whose members were
awarded their diplomas a year ahead
of time.
Promised Part in War
Secretary Baker, who awarded the
diplomas to the graduates, told them
they were destined to have a part in
leading the armies of the nation to a
victorious peace.

the regular army you will prepare not

which France and Britain and Italy
and the United States have assembled

continued 1--WE see in that combina-
ton submergency of international
discord and of national selfshness.
II can imagine that when the God of
Nations calls the roll of those who
have been faithful, England will say:
I'm here with my ships and my men.
My losses are grievous, but my spirit
is unbroken.' Italy answers too from
the Alps to the Asiago. She says:
My sons are here dying and strug-
Cling, but holding the mountain passes

"And France-oh, the beauty and
sublimity of her response: I am here
bleeding at every pore. My country
is part occupied. The mother earth
has received to itself again hundreds
of thousands of my dead children. But
our heads are high, our determination
is unbroken. They shall not pass

not thrill you to hear: We too have

oughly investigated and acted upon as
the members of the board may see fit.
In these regulations are set forth
the same list of non-useful occupations
as those contained in the order re-
ceived by the county council of de-
Tense from the state council. For the

this list is to be regarded as a non
useful occupation, according to the Of
fetal regulations. Some changes will
be made later, it is said, which will
include other lines OF work.

garded by the boards as reasonable
excuse for temporary idleness or for

quent, shall not be considered as idle
ness.
5. Where there are compelling do
nestle circumstances that would not
permit change of employment by the
registrant without diSprOportiOnate
hardship to his dependents; or where
a change from nonproductive to a
productive employment Or occupation
should necessitate the removal of the
registrant from his place of residence,
and such removal would, in the judg-
ment of the board, cause unusual hard
ship to the registrant or his family:
or when such change of employment
would necessitate the nigh employ
ment of women, boards are authorized
to consider any or all of such circum-
stances as rea sonable excuses for non
productive employment.

MORE SILOS URGED
BY FOOD DIRECTOR

One of the most effective arguments
in support of the campaign to build
10000 silos in Indiana this year is the
fact that England and France are now
facing a serioIs shortage of animal
feeds. Harry Gilbert, Wayne county
food administrator, said Thursday.
81 am very much in favor Of this
campaign and believe that Wayne
county should do all in its power to
build the quota of 144 silos allotted to
it for this year" Mr.. Gilbert said.
America will be called upon to sup
ply the allies with meat as cable dis
patches say that horses and cows in
England are to be placed on rations

The girls of ST Mary's school gave
two afghans to the Red Cross The
parts were knitted and put together
by the girls.
The girls who enter a training
school for nurses are just as truly
serving their country as their broth
ers who wear the khaki, says Mary
Roberts, director of the Lake Division
Bureau of Nursing, in an appeal for
more Red Cross nurses.
Every day of nurses training not
only is of value to the student nurse
in preparing her for her profession. y
says Miss Roberts, but is of especial
value now in her community. War al
ways brings about great deal OF
sickness in the civilian population
which fills the hospitals just when the
hospital staff is most depleted When
the war is over the reconstruction hos
pitfalls will still need nurses, and the
who world will need nurses to carry
out new measures of public health
so the call of the American Red
Cross for $4,000 graduate nurses for
the Army and Navy before the end OF
the year is in reality a double call
asking, too, for thousands of young
recruits to fill in the ranks
