 The relationship between the members of the Fourteenth United States Infantry and the peoplee of Skagway has been of the most friendly and hospitable nature, and now that some of Skagway's s very own boys are enrolled On the roster of the Fourteenth, it is a greater pleasure than ever to bend every efforts to entertain and in a measure show loyalty to the boys who are going to fight our battles in this great war for world free dom and humanity.
 The entertainment tomorrow niglt will provide an opportunity for the people of Skagway to reciprocate in a measure for the many enjoyable times had at the post and Haines for which the Fourteenth was res ponsiDle, and it is with the keen est delight that the manner in which arrangements for this affair has been taken hold of is noted.

 One year ago occurred the first registration for military purposes of the young manhood of the Ma tion. Ten million men responded in a single day.

a way as to permit of its organiza- tion and moulding into an effective army was entrusted to forty six huL' dred and sixty three local boards and one hundred fifty six district | boards constituting a force of near ly fifteen thousand of the leading citizens of every community who as sisted in their work by more than one hundred thousand equally pa trtotic volunteers, have performed work that challenges the at tention and excites the admiration of all our people. .'
 Well may we pause today, while another million of our youths enter the lists, and survey and results Of the years work. Each registrant has been examined and his aVailabill ty for military service has been de- | termined. In other words these millions Of men have been classified in such a manner that the Nation may now call for them to come for ward into the Army. No call can be so large that it will not be filled i'm mediately whether the number De such as may be filled by those who have been found to stand in the first rank of availability must go forward. In other words all these millions of men who one year ago were an inert mass have become & mobile Army. Each has found his place and each in his proper turn has marched or awaits the order to march. !,
 These results could not have been accomplished except through the de- voted and unselfish labor of patriots. The Local and District Boards have scored an unprecedented triumph and have earned the undying grati- tude of the Nation. Their achieve ment is one of the great successes of @he war. They have already sent iR to camp including those under orders for June mobilization, an army of more than a million and a half men. They have already produced as sol Ners one man out of every six reg istrants and the world stands in profound astonishment as 1t views this accomplishment.
 statistically stated, the Local Boards have sent, and are sending their registrants to camp in the fol- lowing numbers: -

 Much work yet remains. Today the new men of twenty one are be- ing registered and must be speedily classified. On the first of next month the Local and District boards will be invested with the still fur ther responsibility of preventing idleness and of uhproductive em- ployment which is not effective to the Nation in the emergency.

Ordinarily an offensive as carried out
In modern warfare is slowed down or
absolutely halted after week or ten
days of Advance, the defending army be-
ing able in that length Of time to bring
up reserves and more guns with which
to checkmate the power of the drive. Not
so in the present drive of Gen. Foch in
the salient marked by the towns of Sois-
sons and Rheims as the northernmost
points, the former held by the Germans
and the latter by France; the advance
of the allies has been continuing for IL
days, sometimes slowing down, at other
times accelerating its speed but all the
time sweeping on with tremendous pow
err. The weight of forces which Gen.
Foch seems to have back Of his drive is
remarkable in view of the fact that we
were being told only little while ago
by German officials that the Foch reserve
army was a myth. Moreover, the ad-
vance during the last two days has been
more steady than it was at the end of
the first week of the effort. The situa.
ton is decidedly encouraging, to say the
least.

another column, fall with direct personal
reference, but he undoubtedly had in
mind the Prayer case in Illinois, in which
person suspected of being pro- German
was executed without due process Of law
and without reasonable consideration.
That was one of the extreme cases in
the United States and it is being roundly
condemned not only by the president but
by all people who have desire to see
even justice done, Prayer may have
been guilty of pro-Germanism but he
ought to have been permitted hearing
before an established court of justice and
such penalty as the law prescribes
should have been meted out to him in
case he should have been found guilty.
Then there are many other cases in
which persons are being prosecuted rath-
er than prosecuted by the force Of mob
rule, It is time that these cases were
eliminated, and the presidents words on
the subject will no doubt call people to
their senses and remind them that we do
not care for any German frightfulness in
our own midst, perpetrated by ourselves
against those who may have erred To
criticize Germany, we must keep our
selves clear from criticism along the
same lines.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY AT SEA

The case of mistaken identity off the
coast of New England by which an
American submarine was disabled by a
shot from an allied vessel, presumably
an armed steamer, will be accepted as
an inevitable event because of the com
bination of circumstances brought to
bear The first and foremost circum-
stance was the fact that at least one
German submarine is known TO be OPP
Grating in American waters and every
undersea boat is viewed with suspicion
until its identity is revealed. In the
second place, there is host Of vessels,
both large and small, on the search for
the marauders and the crews of those
vessels are fired with the ambition to be
successful in destroying an enemy boat;
and, therefore, there may not be quite
so much attention to the details of Sc
curing Identification of an undersea craft
before attacking as there should be
Then, again, there are numerous vessels
of other countries present in American
waters all the time, and their comman.
ders might not be expected to have such
intimate knowledge of the locations
where American war vessels are operat.
ing, and it would be easier for them To
become suspicious Of any warlike craft
which poked its nose in close proximity
to them, as happened in the case in ques-
tion. The attack on the American sub
marine must, in the light Of those con.
siderations, be looked upon as excusable
TO certain extent, albeit the affair
should serve as a sharp warning to all
craft plying the American waters that
the United States has submarines as well
as Germany and that it is fully as es-
sential that they should be protected az
It is that the enemy should be run down
