Of the millions of young men now in the armed service of the United States several hundred went from Cordova and the Copper River valley. We sent them away with cheers and blessings and socks and cigarettes, and we follow their fortunes with eager ness and pride. But what else are we doing for these brave fellows Many of them gave up lucrative posi-. tions to serve their country. and per haps many of those who return will be maimed by the bullets and bayo- nets of the Boches. The least we can do is to back them up with our money, by buying Fourth Liberty Loan bonds.

The News has pointed out repeat
 edly the necessity of doing something to stay the decrease in the gold out put. The necessity of relief now be- comes more apparent than ever. If the industry is to stand against the everinCreasing costs of operation, as- assistance must be rendered. Gold miners cannot handle low grade prop
 critics on multiplied costs of opera tion. Already many of the lowest grade properties have been shut up. That is why the world this year is receiving fifty per cent less gold from the Yukon valley than it did last year
 Not only are the miners quitting the game on the old and known properties but they have ceased to look for new gold properties. The prospecting in dustry is demoralized. Dawson News

"The Belgian" at the Plaza

The Belgian" showing for the last
 time at the Plaza today, is a picture of intense interest and contains real historical matter on the war. It IS d picture in which Sidney Olcott pre- sents Walter Whiteside and Miss Val entine Grant in a story that deals with one of the most cruel. yet heroic periods of the great war. It depicts the treatment of the Belgian womc-. and girls by their brutal captors, and shows with vivid realism the ruthless crimes against the men. A gripping love affair runs through the story and results in the triumph of that tender emotion over might with final justice to the most offending German. This justice is attained by the timely ar rival of the Americans who are ac- claimed by the Belgians as then saviors The picture has the honor

LETTER MAKES HIM
 LONG FUR ARIZONA

Ali is not gold that gltters, and sometimes truthfulness and exact de scription are sacrificed to euphony lii the selection of adjectives used by "bOoster' states. At least, such is the private opinion expressed by I. c. Low thian. q former resident of this state but at present numbered in the pOpu- lation of Sunny California,
 Not long ago Mir Lowthian wrote tc Harry Wclch, secretary of the cham Der of commerce, requesting informa- tion. The reply was sent on the win ter stationery of the organization which bears above the date an inscrip- tion reading. "The sun is shining in Phoenix today" This apparent state ment of the obvious produced immed fate results.
 Having lived in the state for 70 years, a good portion of which time was spent in Phoenix, it would seem that the mention of this locality would suggest sunshine to MT. LoWthian, in which tn. same manner rye bread and cheese suggests a summer beverage once pop ular in Arizona. That the gentle jog was necessary however is evidenced by the fo4-wing comment from the in happy exile:
 T notice by the headline in your let ter "the sur is shining in Phoenix, which has bad effect on me as l know exactly what your sunshine is in mid winter. l have spent over 20 years in your state and have been in your city at all seasons of the year, and expect tt 1 be there again shortly.

N Herrcaux, late of Culiacan, ln thc state of Sinaloa, Mexico, and Meil-known in mining circles in this Sttie, is visiting in the city at the con rluslOn of a tour of the southwest spent | 3n inspecting mineral properties Tn winch he is interested. The visitor ! IS highly impressed with the possi- | hIhtes confronting the undeveloped | prospects in this portion of the coun- ! try and predicts very prosperous ! era for this industry, once the normal conditions are re-established. Ar. Herreaux entertains an equally optimistic opinion as to the future of the Mexican mineral belts where OK tenslNe developments and exploitation Is waiting upon favorable legislation. That protective laws arc not d Chimera hut on the contrary are well on the way to fruiton, is shown by the recent decree published by President Car ranza extending the time limit for the Hing of denunciations or claims upon proven petroleum deposits until De cember 3l, 1918. with the sole restric- ton that during the extended time he taxes on the property shall con hnue. According to the provisions of 90 presidential decree issued the year

"The Rravest Way" at the Lamara

Sessue Hayakawa, the Jap, has in The Bravest Way" one of his charac- teristically sparkling creations in which he plays the part of a Jap who is the soul of honor, and who, rather than betray his friend, whom he thinks guilty, suffers disgrace and punishment and, for a time, the loss of the girl whom he hopes to make his wife It is one of those pictures in which a strong man demonstrates that true friendship is bigger than fear and even makes this friendship combat his love of woman. Hayakawa is surrounded by a fine cast and Paramount has given him a super production. Second only to the feature is a very remarkable U. s. war reel in which glimpses of the first French whippet tanks in action are given.
