 Hon Charles E. Bunnell,
 Judge of the District Court,
 Fairbanks, Alaska.
 Dear Sir:
 Tn re: American Bank of Alaska under Receivership.
 "I beg to state that, under the conditions that prevail in thIs dis. trict at the present time, it would be practically impossible to close the Receivership of the American Bank of America within reasonable time, and that the estate is such that it could not stand a very great expense in the administration thereof.
 Realizing that you can make ar rangements for the conducting of the affairs of said estate for con- siderably less sum than it is now costing, and that it will be for the best interests of all the depositors and creditors of said Bank if you so do, beg to tender herewith my resignation as Receiver of the Am erican Bank of Alaska, said resig- nation to take effect at the pleas ure of the Court.
 "As there are several packages and certain papers belonging to former clients of the Bank left for safe keeping in the vaults of the Bank, l would respectfully suggest that the fact that I have resigned be made public and that be authorized to publish notice, requiring all per sons having papers in the vaults of said Bank to call for them before a date to be fixed by the Cuort, at which time my resignation should become effective.
 T beg to thank you for the con- sideration and extremely courteous

 "A. PRUNING, Receiver American Bank of Alaska" "
 Ever since the closing of the banks doors on August 27, 1917, and since his appointment to the receivership Mir. Pruning has been in charge of the affairs of the bank. His reason for resigning are for none other than stated.
 Judge Bunnell yesterday morning stated that the receivership would be vested in Commissioner Reed w. Heilig, who will act for the deposit ors of the bank for less amount than was being paid MT. Pruning, whose salary was fixed at $250 per month with a. rental of $5c, making total expense of $500 per month. The amount to be received by Con- missioner Heilig will be s75, say. ing of s225 to the depositors.
 The resignation of Mir. Pruning will be effective on June F, at which time the affairs of the bank will be turned over to the commissioner. The receiver is going to make every effort to collect all outstanding ac. counts before turning over his stew. ardship, and if it is possible an other dividend will be declared to the depositors when the collections are made. MT. Pruning will devote his time to the mining game after he steps down.

ARE FED
BY SELF DENIAL
Generous Doing Without i
America Supplied Food
to Europe.

Exports from this country since 1t
entered the war have kept starvation
from Allied Europe and have main
tanned the health and strength of those
who have been bearing the brunt OF
our battles, so that they could hold
out to victory. Now that hostilities
have ceased we must assume the add
ed burden of keeping starvation from
increasing it's toll upon the millions
who have been liberated from the
Prussian yoke. Famine would undo
the work which has been accomplished
in freeing the world for democracy. No
stable government can be established
and maintained by nation harasSed
by hunger. A starving people turns
to rioting and anarchy. Food has
given strength and courage to the ma
lions fighting for democracy; 1t must
now give the nations strength and
tranquility to re-establish themselves
in freedom and democracy.
Without our help it would have been
absolutely impossible for the Allies to
maintain a living ration. Since our
entry into the war we have been con-
tributing largely to the support of one
hundred and twenty million people
whose normal food supplies have been
cut off, whose production has fallen
almost to the vanishing point, whose
fields have been devastated by Ger
many. The food exported from the
United States in the past year has
been sufficient to supply the complete
ration of twenty-five million people
1t is hard to grasp the magnitude
and significance Of the assistance
which has been lent the Allies By the
patriotic, voluntary service of the
American people The food we sent
abroad last year would have been .suf-
ficient to feed one-fifth Of our popula-
ton. And this was done in spite of
the fact that we entered the year with
short crops. Our surplus was practi-
cally nothing. An overwhelming pro-
portion OF the food that left this coun-
try last year was saved out Of the nor
NAL home consumption Of our own
people
In spite Of difficulties met In inter-
nal transportation md shortage OF
ocean tonnage our food exports last
year amounted to = afgure that few
years ago would have been unbelieva-
BILE. Even the most optimistic element
of our population faced with anxious
CONSERVATION the prospect which
opened before us with the beginning
OF the 1917 harvest year.
The American people have not been
compelled to save. They have been
appealed to on the basis of humanity
and of patriotism. They have re-
sponded voluntarily.

Everyone who is interested in
a universal military training SER
vice for the United States should
not fail to apprise their Repre-
Sentave in Congress, and u. S.
Senator of the fact. The matter
will be up for consideration this
winter and already, now that
peace has come, opposition to
the plan is becoming serious.
and safe, when a year ago it
would have been traitorism, pro-
Germanism, etc, to have OPP
posed anything pertaining to war.
An army and navy in keeping
with our standing as a nation
should never again have to be
secured overnight as it were,
and at the needless and great
expense that goes with huge I'M
dertaklngS without due prepar-
edness.
AS for the moral and physical
effect upon those who would an
nually and automatically become
members Of Uncle Sans trained
fighting machine, there is but
one answer. Every soldier and
sailor seen on the streets Of ev-
cry town in the United States
during the past year or more
has been a living example of
what we'll regulated and disci-
plined life does for young man
hood.

AS one OF the convincing steps
toward q bone drv' United
States on July /, 1919, the man.
ufacture of beer ceased Nov. 80.
1t is estimated that stocks on
hand will last until July. What
effect national prohibition will
have upon business conditions
and the general welfare Of the
people will still have to be DEM
onstrated. The wet forces pre-
dict an era Of business depres-
sion which if it proves true, will
be unfortunate. One flaw in
that argument is that no dry
territory has ever been heard of
that did not show a big increase
In it's bank deposits over those
of the wet season. So, it may
prove with the nation. The
other argument, interference with
mans personal rights and liber-
ty appeals with more force un-
til you remember that when
most men are enjoying the right
to drink as much as they please,
when they please, that almost
invariably a mother, wife or
sister is made to suffer, if not
financially, from what may be
quite as hard, mental suffering
OF the kind that is glad if no
neighbor happens to drop in.
July 1st will be a day of re-
lief for these conditions in so
many homes that we think ma
tional prohibition will be the
greatest Of the many blessings
Americas men, women and
children have ever enjoyed.
