THERE MUST BE NO COMPROMISE


BY his lies and sly intrigues,
He, within his own domain,
Nav deceive the peace--hope leagues,
When he lauds their heroes, slain.
But the time has passed for us
To accent one word as truth,
From this gulping octopus
Foe of pride and love and youth.
Khaki lads are over there
Bruised and burned by steel and ire
Counting death from trick and snare,
All to ease one demons ire.
Homes are leveled-hearts are torn,
Unbelieyably intense
Is the grief OF those who mourn
AT the bier of innocence.
What does Prussia owe mankind
For this trail of tortured souls?
Firmly, let us keep in mind
That such griefs demand their tolls.
We have promised 10 protect
Liberty. the whole world round
Let's demand and let's collect,
Till oppression falls, uncrowned.
Let us have. when peace shall come,
Such peace as WILL endure
Needing no suggestions from
'Kultur's' crafty eamoufleur.
When at last the din shall cease,
And he pleads with fearful eyes,
Strange every makeshift peace
There must be no compromise.

Berlin newspapers regard the Anglo

editorially to brace up the nerves of the

speaks on "another impending ruthless
Anglo-French attempt to break through

SALVATION ARMY
MEN ARE FIGHTERS
.DOUGH-BOY" TELLS OF OLD
SALVATION ARMY MAN SHOW
ING YANKEE SPIRIT

| In yesterdays article an account
was given Of the high standards
which the Salvation Army requires
! in selecting men and women, none
but those having three years expert
ence in social work being accepted
for duty at the front.
The third particular in which the
Salvation Army differs from other
organizations in its management is in
respect to receiving rs workers any
man of draft age. From the very
start the Salvation Army has refused
to use in its wok any man subject to
the draft or to military service in
any connection or to any extent.
It is always interesting to hear
what the boys think of the work that
is being done for them. One typical
letter from a. soldier to his mother
is offered without being edited as to
spelling or expression. The senti-
ment is what counts.
"We have with our Division one
good organization, and that is the Sal
walton Army. there shure good, any
thing they can do for US they do, and
do it willingly. there right with US
through it, thick and thin. was
talking to an old Salvation man the
other day. An old gray headed man
too, and this is what he said When
it comes the time of an attack by
the (Hun) he is right ready to help
teach them a lesson in the Yankee
style, and / believe he can equal any
of the Huns even tho he is an old
man. / cant see how it is, that such
an old man like that can stick like
he does, but I presume he is like all
the rest of US, has that good old Yam
kee Spirit"
This is only one of thousands of
dough-boy letter flowing daily thru
the United States mails. The volume
of spontaneous testimony pouring to
headquarters from France would at
times seem to indicate that every Of
ficer above the rank of captain had
taken his pen in hand to indorse the
work of the Salvation Army among
the dough-boys. II;

Circulars From Director Gen.
eral Distributed Among
Rail Men Here

Thousands of circulars dealing with
the participation of railroad employees
in the previous Liberty Loan cam
paign and containing a plea for 100
per cent. subscriptions in the COM
ing drive are being distributed
among the federal railroad workers
throughout the country. The cir
culars have been issued by William
G. McAdoo. director general or rail-
roads and include the following:
The patriotic support of railway
employees to the Third Liberty Loan
was more than gratifying. On some
railroads practically every employe
became a subscriber for one or more
of these bonds.
Now that the Fourth Liberty Loan
is about to begin, l earnestly urge
all railroad officials and employees to
cooperate in securing a 100 per
cent" result on every railroad and
believe that where the officials and
employees unite in a patriotic sup
port the response will be even more
gratifying than that to the Third
Liberty Loan.
realize that there are many in
stances where railroad employees are
not financially able to assume ad-
ditional obligations. In such in
stances there should be no criticism
OF Jne failure OF an SulplOyS " Sdbs-
scribe to the Fourth Liberty Loan.
1 believe, however, that when the
urgency OF the need is presented to
employees that few will fail in their
financial support tof the govern
ment.
Ny attention has been called to
the fact that in the past loans many
employees have subscribed through
their banks and through other
agencies than the railroads. No
criticism should be made against en-
ployes for subscribing to bonds in
this way. but it is matter of pride
to the railroad administration that
the employees on each railroad shall
receive the credit for all subscrip-
tions they make.
Government bonds are the safest
investment in the world. and in max
ing such an investment railroad en-
ployes at the same time have an op-
portunity to help win the war and
give needed support to our noble
sons and brothers who are risking
and giving their lives upon the bat
tlehelds and upon the seas.
l hope that 100 per cent. OF the
railroad employees will subscribe to
the sbonds of the Fourth Liberty
Loan. l can think of nothing more
inspiring than the great body of
railroad employees effectively banded
together TO work for the success of
the Fourth Liberty Loan, and l urge
upon each railroad employe patri-
otically TO do his share. In this way
we can shorten the war and save
many lives, and bring a glorious vic
tory.

DRAFT
 BOARDS ALASKA
 TO MAKE CALL
Registrants from Class A No. 1, Are to Be Called in a Very Short
 Time.

Local draft boards in Alaska will commence calling the registrants from Class Al, for examination with in a very short time and the men will be required to report on May 1st, instead of June 30th as previous ly ordered. Telegrams received from Provost Marshal General Crowder yesterday changed the date of draft as the season in Alaska is too short to train the men properly in the short space of summer after June 30th. All Alaska men will report to ports in Alaska for training, relieving the regular army men now on duty.
 Drafted men from Boards No. 1 to 8 inclusive will be sent to Fort Will liam H. Seward, near Haines, for their training. The officers at Fort Seward have been recommending the change in the date of draft for some time and recently several of the of ficers made a special trip to Juneau on the Peterson to take the matter up with the proper authorities. The telegram reCelNeu yeSIeIudy was thc result.
 The entire details have not as yet been worked out but men from Douglas, Haines, Juneau, ketchikan, Petersburg, Sitka, Skagway, and Wrangell will mobilize at Fort Sew ard between the 1st and 18th of May for training. It is expected that the men from Anchorage, Cordova, Me Carthy, Seward Valdez and Iditarod will be mobilized at Fort Liscum near Valdez.
 The men from Eagle, Fairbanks, Nenana, Ruby and Panama will prob ably be sent to St. Miachael for training, although the Iditarod men may also be sent there, instead of Fort Liscum. The members of the local board will issue a call within the next few days for men coming under the jurisdiction of the Juneau board to appear for examination.

SOLDIERS MAY
 TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HOME SERVICE
Red Cross Calls Attention to the Fact That the Juneau Chapter
 Is Ready.

Juneau Chapter of the American Red Cross wishes to call the atten- ton of all enlisted men to the fact that all dependents of soldiers should call upon the Home Service Station for assistance if they need it. All of the Red Cross resources, finan- cial, advisory, and the more intangi- ble ones are at their disposal should occasion require them.
 Should a family be confronted with insurance payments, interest on a mortgage or anything of the sort and not be able to meet the situa- ton, the matter should be taken up with the chairman of the Home Ser vice Section. All business is treated sort is by no means to be considered charity. It is the business of the Red Cross to relieve the men who are in active service of these Wor- ries and there should be no hesitancy on the part of those in need of as- sistance to make their wants known.
 The chairman of the Home Service Section of the Juneau Chapter is k. E. Robertson. The other members are Hon. R. w. Jennings, Dr. P. J. Malone, Mrs. G. D. Christian, J. L. Gray, Mrs. F. A. Boyle and Mrs. J. L. Gray.
