Acting on specific orders from the Seattle headquarters of the company, the local agent of the Alaska Steam ship Co. announced today that the great demand for accomodations on the last outgoing trip of the Victoria and the inability to secure another vessel to take the unexpected ovcrplus of passengers will necessitate a com plcte encouragement of the berth ac- comodations. In no case will a man and wife he permitted sole use of a three berth room and it will probably le necessary to assign many of the male first class passengers to inter mediate or stecrage accommodations. The encouragement will be conducted in such manner as to take care of the women first and when they are pro yded for male passengers will be placed with their wives as far as pos siblc. All others and all surplus pas sengers will have to content themsel- yes with steerage accommodations. Mir. Carrol says the demand for tickets is almost beyond the carrying capacity of the steamer and only by making ar engagements along the suggested lines can the vessel accomodate the number seeking transportation. Mir. Carol has been urging the head office to send another boat, but has been advised by General Manager John II. Bunch that it will be impossible to send an other steamer with the added admon- ition that "he might as well make up his mind to it." NIr. Carrol asserts that the agent at St Michael has asked for many additional berths over and above the St. Michael allotment in response to demands from the Yu- kon section and there is also a large ovcrplus list here for which no other accommodation than steerage can be provided It is regretable, he says
 that conditions are such that the com pany has no alternative but to accom-

fort in the interest of the boys who are daily offering their lives on the
 French hattlofields. Selfishness is q
 dominating trait in most people, but it would seem that at such time as the present even the most selfishly inclined would be willing to lend their assistance to providing such comfort
 and help ,as may be possible for the devoted sons of the land who have
 gone forth to suffer the pain of bleed ing wounds and possible death in or

 realize the urgent need for extending
 all possible help to the Red Cross in its noble work of succoring the sick and wounded and relieving the agony
 of the dying, but it is high time they did. Furthermore, they should be will l ling to attest their understanding and sympathy by doing anything they can, even to their own discomfort, toward helping those who are fighting
