William Maloney, is support ed and under the advice of members of the opposition party, and the ill- concealed purpose of splitting the Democratic vote, by causing party dissension, which shows so plainly in his campaign, has increased the Sul- ger sentiment in nearly every sec. tion.

HOPKINS
 LAID AT REST;
 MANY FLOWERS

At Eagle hall yesterday afternoon was held the funeral services of Frank Hopkins. who died recently at St. Joseph's hospital
 at the services, and several beauti- full floral pieces were in evidence as tokens of the high regard in which he was held.
 The services were conducted by Aerie No. 1037, F. o. E., to which the deceased belonged. The funeral oration was delivered by Rev. II. H. Lumpkin, who chose as his sub ject "The Good Samaritan" which in life MT. Hopkins personified. The beautiful life led by the deceased was dwelt upon by the minister and his many kindnesses to those in distress were exemplified
 Dr. Aline Bradley, Mrs. Jack Heath. Mrs. J. H. Groves and Mr. E. l.. Sanderlin beautifully rendered the service hymns. Al the conclu- sion of the services the remains were taken to the Fairbanks ceme- tery and amid the sorrowing fare wells of his many friends he was laid at final rest.
 Acting as pail bearers for the Eagles were George A. Coleman. F. L. Sanderlin. Adolph Landaas, Au- gust Burglin, D. Frank Coombs and John o. Hagen. The honorary pail bearers from the Knights of Pythias club, to which MT. Hopkins also belonged, were Max Behlke. N. R. King, George Hainsinger, John Hub bard, John H Jones and Hiram Clark.
 "I'm quite near neighbor of yours now," said MT. Bore. "I'm living just across the river" Indeed" re- piled Miss Smart. "I hope you'll drop in some day"

ALASKAN DOCS
 VALUABLE AID
 ON WEST FRONT

An Associated Press article ap- peared recently in these columns stating that General Pershing did not want Alaska dogs on the Ameri- can battlefront, because they "cannot learn new tricks" The article went on to say that this statement caused considerable surprise. as 1t had been understood that the Alaska dogs pre- viously sent to France had been success.
 The misunderstanding has arisen over the fact that General Pershing was talking of one thing and the correspondent of The Associated Press, or his Seattle commentator, of another. The Alaska dogs that were sent to France and were so successfully used were employed by the French army in the Vosges sec tor, a part of the long line that falls in mountainous country, where haul. age is made most difficult because of the frequent snows and the difficulty of building roads up to the actual firing line. It will be seen that under these conditions the Alasks dog would be in his element. Light sleds loaded with provisions and equipment could make a trip of a few miles over terrain that would be impossible to any other sort of vehicle, in the cold and deep snows of winter. It is here that the AL aska dog came into his own, and made his contribution to the great war.
 But the country that is being held by the American troops, the Picardy sector, is an entirely different propo- sition. Here dogs are used only for rescue and Red Cross first aid work. And for this an animal of the ter rier type, or sheep or police dog some very quick, small, active ami nal that has been taught to fetch and carry, and has something of the retriever instinct bred in him-is necessary. The splendid brawn of the malamute would be wasted here, and entirely out of place.
 So if you have dogs to join the army, have them enter the French and not the American service. It is the French who need them.

DAVIS THEATRE.
Aircraft PhotopIay is Feature.

Appearing in a role no less fascin- ating than any of her previous DOT traya1s, the inimitable Mary Pickford was seen in her latest Aircraft pho toplay, How Could You, Jean?' at the Davis theatre Monday. Both picture and star demonstrated their populari- ty with emphasis, and Miss Pickford was able to add another artistic char acterization to her famous gallery of picture portrayals This is an excel lent photoplay, based upon the story of the same name by Eleanor TIovt Brainerd, which was published serial ly in the Saturday Evening Post, and which was picturized by Frances Ma rion, and produced by William D. Tay-
 Tor, with artistic effort.
 In this picture Miss Pickford takes
 the part of the aristocratic young girl
 who is forced to seek employment
 through a change in the family for
 tunes She secures place as a do- mestic in the family of Mir. and Mrs. Bonner in the country. She has a hard time foiling the attention of Oscar the hired man, but then she meets Tom Burton, son of dyspeptic mil lionaire and he is so infatuated that he bribes Oscar to get out so he can have the place and he be in the con- SIanC company or the nlreq S1rl. Bur- ton, Sr., to keep an eye on his son puts up at a neighboring farm and the plain wholesome food does wonders for his dyspepsie. The climax comes when Ted is rescued from burning farm after thrilling fight with a de- 1 faulting bank president.

SKILLED NURSES WILL
 LONG BE IN DEMAND
For a Generation After the War Says
 the Red Gross.

However long the war endures, there are certain war needs that will be with us for generation, and the greatest of these is the demand for skilled wo- men trained in nursing. This is em- phasized in Red Cross literature sent to the Norwich branch.
 The American Red Cross, engaged in enrolling nurses as reserve for the army and navy nurse corps, and for the civilian needs of the fami- lies of our soldiers and sailors, recog- nizes what that need will be. Demands from foreign countries for American nurses to establish training schools come steadily. The Children's bureau of the American Red Cross in France has answered French need by offer ing training in infant welfare nursing to French women.
 American nurses will play a large part in the reconstruction programmes not only in the United States, but in all the allied countries.

RED CROSS PEOPLE
 MUST CUT POLITICS
Officers Or Workers Are Not to Run
 For Public Office.

Red Cross officers or workers. if they are to continue as such. will not be permitted to run for public office in the coming general election or to be- come active in the interest of any candidate. This announcement has been received by the Norwich branch from the headquarters of the Allan tic division.
 The announcement was based upon a ruling of the war council as de- scribed in a letter from George E.. Red Cross, to Ethan Allen, manager of the division. The letter reads:
 The first general electon since the entrance of the United States in the war, is to take place before long, The Red Cross is and must be maintain ed strictly non partisan, non politi- cal organization. The reasons for this are so obvious to everyone that they need no elaboration.
 Membership in the Red Cross in ciudeS so many people and there are SC many men of prominence engaged in its work either at home or abroad, that it is not at all unlikely that many of them will be candidates for office. No matter how sincerely any Red Cross official or worker may strive to keep separate his Red Cross work from any possible political ambitions which he may entertain, he may and probably will be quite unable to prevent his friends from using his connection with the Red Cross in order to Sain favor with the voters.
 While such action cannot be con- trolled, all candidates for office who are at heart sincere well-Wishers for the Red Cross, should realize that they must do all in their power to prevent the public from gaining an impression that political preferment can or should directly or indirectly be affected by Red Cross work either at home or abroad. The text of Red Cross service to mankind is stamped by the approval of the American peo- pie. regardless of politics. race or re- ligion. No taint of sehdshness or self seeking can be allowed to creep into the work endangering and even per haps destroying its great accomplish ment.
 Accordingly, the Red Cross War Council instructs me to direct that you request all officials of the Rec Cross either in chapters or division | headquarters, who are in any position of executive authority and who at thu same time contemplate candidacy fol | public office. either to resign in theil
 official capacity from the Red Cros.
 or to refrain from such candidacy. A
 the same time, we ask that you givt
 this statement the broadest publicit!
 and that you use every influence O
 your office to prevent. in so far as i:
 possible, the use of the Red Cross O.
 of it's services either directly or in
 directly in the advancement, or il
 connection with the political 'cam l paign of any person.
