The Greatest Clothing Sale Ever

There is no need to elaborate on the cxorbi-
tant cost of clothing materials and production to-
day. And the outlook for fall is still less encour-

prices on good clothes for men and young men,
These facts together with the expiration of our

Thomas J. Donohoe to the Distracted Democracy at Nome failed in his mis- sion and found friends of many years standing giving him the cold shoul- der.
 While the Nome Democrats are re- ported to be split three ways it ap- pears that none of them are willing to support the Donohoe machine"
 The orders from Donohoe were to the effect that Nome Democrats must see that Fawley and Daly. candidates for. the Senate and House respectively must be defeated, which will have the certain effect of rousing antagonism of Nome people.
 It is also reported that Holzheimer wanted to take the star part at the Fourth of July celebration and read the Presidents message but the Con- mittee in charge turned him down al though Holzheimer had permission and support of the Mayor.-Juneau Dis patch.

ALIEN ENEMY
 UNDER ARREST

Last Saturday Carl Heir, who is reg istered as German alien enemy in Douglas but has been employed in the Perseverance mine, was put under arrest at the latter place on authority of Presidential warrant for alleged violation of the Presidential procla- nation governing the conduct of alien enemies.
 X week ago last Tuesday a stick of dynamite was found on the Doug las beach down past the COW barns near the residence of Meir and day or two later his cabin was searched and a young arsenal was found there, also some dynamite fuse. Upon the mans person when arrested was a pair of field glasses. All these things are contrary to the rules and regula- tions laid down for the governing of alien enemies.
 The officers claim that the man has been making seditious utterances and has been travelling back and forth between Perseverance and Douglas without permit, which is also against the regulations.
 The accused is in the federal jail in Juneau awaiting trial.-Douglas News.

PRISONER DIES AS
 RESULT OF DRINKING CONCENTRATED LYE

A coroner's jury pronounced liar ry s. Gillespie, who died last night as result of drinking concentrated lye, suicide, having taken his life with his own hands.
 Gillespie was brought here from Hoonah few weeks ago on the charge of insanity, as he had tried to commit suicide there by jumping overheard. This is his-third attempt at suicide since he was found insane and placed in the Federal jail Once he tried to kill himself by hanging and once by cutting his wrist. Both times he was angry because his at. tempts had not been successful Juneau Empire.

Kans., and the other is at Fort Ogle- thorpe. Tenn The doctors live in barracks at these camps. just like any soldier in the National Army The complete course of training which they undergo lasts three months.
 The first month is given over to teaching them the simple rules and routine of military discipline. They learn to drill and to command com panies of men, and they study the or ganization of the Army and the func- tions of it's different parts. During the second month they occupy them. selves with the special duties of medi. cal officers. They are taught how a field hospital Is run. how hospitals are managed behind the lines. and the new conditions and problems which confront an army on the European battle fronts. During the third month they concentrate upon some special branch of medical work. Some are specialists in X-ray photography, some in head surgery. and others in the var. ious other departments of medicine and surgery.
 About half of the graduates of these camps are sent away for service in the front lines. The men picked for this are the younger. men sand those who are more robust and able to with stand the necessary hardships. The rest go into the different hospitals and institutions behind the lines About 10 per cent go into head surgery, 10 per cent into Roentgenology. 35 per cent into general surgery. another 10 per cent into cardiovacular practice. and so on.r The proportion of men as. signed to any given branch Is determ. ined by the need for specialists in that line.
 Of course. it has not been possible to train in this fashion all of the physi- clans in the Medical Corps. The need was so pressing that many had to be taken directly out of civil life and given a uniform. It Is the purpose of the Surgeon Generals staff to do this as little as possible in the future, so that the officers in the Medical Corps may all have a knowledge of military technique.

TRAINING DOCTORS
 FOR THE ARMY

The first United States soldier to be killed in the war and the first to be wounded were both in the Medical Corps. The fact must have impressed the American people with the serious risks which are taken by Army dec tors. Before we entered the war the bravery and sacrifice of medical off, cers at the front had probably been too little appreciated. As 2 matter of fact, the officers and enlisted men in the Medical Corps are the only sol diers who go into noman's land with no defense whatever. The tireless work on the battle field of the stretch CT bearers, all of whom are in the Ned ical Corps, is full of danger.
 No profession has volunteered it's services to the country more generous. ly than the medical profession. About 24.O0O physicians. or nearly one-fourth of the eligible physicians of the coun- try, have expressed their willingness to resign practice to go to war. Some have already received their training and have gone to France. Some are waiting to be called, and about 1000 are now in the camps receiving the special instruction that will fit them for military life.
 When 8 physician receives word that his offer to join the Army has been accepted, he is ordered to report for duty at one of the two training camps where Army surgical schools are located. One is at Fort Riley,

ANOTHER TITANIC WENT
 DOWN

Another Titanic went down during the night between Saturday and Sun day. This time. however, the Titanic neither struck an iceberg or was tor. pedoed. It went down without either; but it was only gas boat tied up at the wharf, presumably got fouled of it's moorings and when the tide was high. sunk. The boat belongs to Mr. Baines of Metlakatla. He had come over in company with the Rev. Mars don, who lost pair of shoes and oth. CT personal effects. It was later lowed on to the sawmill flats, where 1t was pumped out.

"Yes, he did. He moved into this

happy man for two weeks, until one
morning he found himself, also his
family, lying out on the cold, damp
ground, in company with some bits of
furniture and some miscellaneous toin-

descended upon them with admirable
exactness. The cries Of the wounded
were heard once more. a sign that
many had been hit.
An artillery officer acted as observer
in the foremost sense and directed the
fire by phone. Promptly at 8 80 o'clock
the artillery fires stopped and we at
tackled. The eleventh company of the
Sixty-seventh regiment, of which l
spoke before, came under the fire Of
the enemy's machine guns and IS of its
men were killed after they had only
proceeded few steps outside the
trench.
Dead and wounded men lay among
the branches and the trees everywhere
on the ground. Every man who was
able to run sped forward to reach the
enemy trench as quickly as possible. A
part Of the enemy defended itself des-
perately In trench filed with water
and mud. A terrible hand-to-hand fight
resulted. We stood In water up to our
knees.
Men, severely wounded, lay in the
mud, holding their mouths and noses
above the water. During the fighting
they were trampled more deeply into
the dirt under our feet for we could
not see where we were going; we could
only "roll up" the entire trench.
The section won was fortified with
all possible haste. Once more we had
acquired at heavy cost In human life
a few meters of the Argonne forest.
This trench, which we took, had
changed hands many times and even
now we were preparing for the usual
counter-attacks.
Presently the "jackasses" went into
action. The "jackasses" are the guns
Of the French mountain artillery. They
were so named because they were
drawn by mules. They are guns of fiat
trajectory, kept from so to 100 meters
behind the enemy lines. The shells
from these cannon flew directly over
our heads and cut their way through
the branches at high rate of speed
Because of the high velocity OF the
shell and the short distance it travels
the defamation when the shot Is fired
and the noise of the explosion, sound
almost at the same instant. These
"iackasses" are greatly feared by the
German soldiers because they are kept
working day and night.
It was winter and very cold. The
trenches had been filled with water
and were now nothing except deep
bitches Of mud. Under these condi-
lions, through the ice-cold nights, our
routine consisted of 4S hours duty

Insure Good Results.

If one is pressed for time a good
showing can be made by keeping cool
and quietly disposing of one task be-
fore beginning another. Hurry and ex-
element will hinder any cause. But
the person who has mastered himself
or herself-who remains calm under
all circumstances-is the man or wom-
an who does splendid work.
Learning to concentrate ones mind
upon the duty at hand is, indeed, an
effort worth while. Therefore, the girl
or woman who would spare herself
hours of needless worry or excitement
should wisely keep her head-in other
words, give her best attention to what
ever task confronts her.

MOSQUITO larvae. At spot where he
and other travellers saw fish actively
swimming, the water was found to
contain not less than 1873 per cent Of
