 Greetings, Great Rush of '98 on this, your twentieth anniversary! We love your memory for it is you who have created of worthy to follow in the footsteps of their older brother pioneers and it is through the pioneers that Alaska will enter in Greatness. You took the dweller of the town and the dweller of the country and showed them Opportunity hither- to undreamed of; you showed them Possibility in the hills and valleys, and, following Possibility, our sturdy pioneers have opened fields rich in gold and copper: they have cleared the and broken the soil into productive farms, they are the trappers and traders of today, the chants the bankers.
 We you much, Days of '98, for in you we saw magnifed all that good and all that was evil We the days of open license of the dance hall, the saloon the gambling house. the extravaganza, and called it Life. We providence self-dcnial, plodding determination, and Tn the arrogance of youth called it Folly. You have taught us Days of 9S, that what took for Life was Folly and what we took for Folly was Life; for Success is Life and Failure is Folly
 We older, Days of '9S than when we swarmed across the mountain passes the wa ters of the Yukon We have profted by your good examples and by your errors Your like will never come again Your Romance will live Gren of you they in turn will tell their chill Gren.
 Hail! Gone but undyng, Great Rush of 1898"

100000 Under Arms.
Seattle Times

few weeks ago. the Government speaknf of having 3,0O0, 900 under during thu present year.
 Its plan for 1918 announced by Genera Crowder, now contemplate the raising of the army strength to nearer 4,O00,000 men by January 1.
 "As further step carrying the War Depart ment's plan to have 5000, 900 men in service b.. the provost marshal general, has issued call 220,000 white draft registrants.
 This call, it is stated lis expected to exhaust tho lumber of men in Class One and when added t school acquisitions of 23436, brings the total call so far announced for July to 243,436"
 Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the Senate mil. itary committee yesterday stated that in August 300, poo citizens will be called to the colors in Septem. Der 150 900, in October l5OO0O, in November 15O 900 and in December 125 900. Here is total of S75 900 men to be drafted during the last five months of the year bzringing the nations armed forces well up to 4.O0O,OOO.
 If Class One is expected to be exhausted by the drafts during July where the additional 1,OO0- 900 men to come from, unless the government dips very deepingly into those other cassfcations which created because of the departments belief that this arrangement conducted to the time efficiency of the country?
 Ths question is all the more timely because Sec rotary Baker and General March, chief of staf opposed to immediate changes in the draft age and General Crowder has informed the Senate that he is not prepared to press his earlier recommenda- tion for modification of the law.
 There is certain seeming conflict in these nouncements which is due to be cleared up later by statements from the War Department and the Senate committee. On the face of Crowder's plans and Chamberlains detailed prediction, however 1t is evil dent the New Year will under arms, at home and abroad the biggest army raised by the Gov ernment of the United States

GEN. GREENE AND PRECEDENTS

Conceding for arguments sake that Gen. Greene sent to the Philippines because the War De- partment dstrusted his adaptibility for the com mand of a Division in France, it is a reflector on his patriotism, his character his ability. War history is filled with accounts of the lack of coni- dence in ability of good officers for certain positions The removal of Generals Rosecrans McClernand Buell. Averell, Warren and others from comma nds and the refusal to promote Gen Logan and others whose positions them the priority of claims to promotion did not reflect upon their patriotism or abilities or characters in any way. It simply meant that Gen. Grant or Gen. Sheridan. Gen. Sherman, as the might be, did not have confidence in the men for the positions which they held or to which they aspred. Likewise with Jefferson Davis re- moval of Gen. Joe Johnston and Gen. Bragg after wards recalled to be given important commands and others who were recalled for further important service Nor was il any reflection O Gen. Miles, who was Major General of volunteers before he was 25 years of age, and who afterwards made record that proved him to be of the greatest Indian fight CTS in the history of our country that Gen. Shafter was chosen to command the Cuban expeditionary army.
 Gen. Greene and Gen Wood do not present iso- lated instances where good soldiers did not get what they wanted in commands.

ALASKA REINDEER MEAT
 ON AMERICAN TABLES

War acquaints us with strange foods. Horsemeat has been sold on the open market Whale meat is timed on the Pacific coast. Shark is praised by many; and Alaska, rich in resources, has shipped to the United States during the past year, 38,295 pounds of reindeer meat. This is about nine times the shipments of 1916 and another year ought to show greater gains. It looks as if reindeer will be added to the list of meat animals that supply the American table
