in the fight.


The biggest thing in hisory is tax
ing place at this time and every man
with clear-eyed vision of his full
duty will sieze the great opportuni-
ty to do his full share. To buy a
bond or contribute to the Red Cross
does not make anyone patriot. It
is only when you do everything that
lies in your power to do that you
find the full measure and privilege
of patriotism. If you fail to do that,
just to the extent are you betraying
the cause that every decent man in
the world is fighting for.
Resources count in this war fully
as much as the men. If our armies
are not supplied the only way
this can be done is by the people at
home-they will fall in their battles.
Failure of supplies, or in their source,
makes weak spot in the line. The
weak spot will surely result in the
| loss of life at the front, the loss of
a big battle, the taking of prisoners
and it prolongs the war. It may
mean the loss of it.
l. If industry is interrupted and sup
plies fail to reach our soldier through
the Indifference of any man or body
of men. just to that extent do they
become responsible for the spilline
of life blood by the men who art
fighting for him that he and his fam.
lily may enjoy the blessings and op
portunities of freedom and democ
racy. This applies to men in every
walk of life, the employer, the la
borer, the farmer, the professiona
man, the commercial man. The re
sponsibility rests on everyone alike
| The Public Safety Commission feel
that it's first great effort should b.
made towards bringing every Mime
sotan to a full realization Of his in

in order that, as a whole, we ma,

it may be made efficient to the las
degree by and through the unife,

can well be subjugated to this on

EITHER FOR OR AGAINST.

The pacifst or Stacker is traitor
to his country.
This is the only way to designate
either of this class of people. You
are either 100 per cent American in
all that the name implies or you are
an enemy of the government. You
are either for or against.
If you are disposed to act or feel
like pacifst, keep it to yourself; !;
or if you influence anyone else in
any way along those lines, you are
a traitor to that extent because you
withhold your strength from the
government and it is that strength
that is now vitality essential.
If a pacifst, by argument or in
fiuence, is this sort of traitor, he is
in the same class with the man in the

TRENCH ROUTINE.

Edwin A. Abbey, I'd, in the Allan
tic: Just now the trenches are in a
frightful condition of mud and wa
ter, and it is utterly impossible for
the men to keep dry or to nave dry
dugouts to sleep in. They are in a
state of misery, as far as physical
comfort goes, for days at time;
and yet they stand all night, often
for sixteen hours at a stretch, in
pouring rain and under intermittent
fire, looking out over the parapet in

THE pAPOOSE.

"In q quaint old city" said Daddy,
Indians come into town every Satur-
day morning with bright-cOlOred bas-
ketS and beaded moccasinS. They make
these things and they make beaded
bags and purses and little ornaments.
"They drive oxen instead Of horses
and the oxen move so slowly as if they
did not care in the least if they ever
got anywhere at all
'The Indian women. or SOuHWS as
they are called. carry large baskets up
on their heads in which are the things
they have to sell, smaller baskets,
purses and mOccaSinS
sometimes, too, they bring into the
town flowers in the summer and in the
autumn red berries-for they have a
little village of their own out in the
country. They are not wild at all and
they would not dream Of hurting any
one.
cone day a little girl named GIVE
was sitting in her room reading when
she heard the door bell ring. She went
downstairs and there was a little In
dian girl, not any older than herself
"'Will the beautiful lady buy pretty
basket?' asked the little Indian girl.
''Oive was so pleased! She was not
nearly big enough to be called lady
for she was still very young, and she
knew quite well that she was not
beautiful at all. She had freckles and
very big mouth, and she had only a
little hair which was quite straight.
And she was tall for her age and much
too thin. But she had never been called
beautiful before and though she knew
the little Indian girl was quite wrong,
still she was delighted.
"'YOu are beautiful YOURSELF said
Olive. For the Indian girl had long
black hair and enormous dark eyes,
wonderful dark skin with quite a good
deal of color.
Me beautiful? she asked ooh no,
me not beautiful at ALL

smel+ino Art Ancient One.

In the old world the art of smelling
ores was discovered about 1900 B. G.
1t has sometimes been suggested that
iron tools and weapons may have been,
made at an earlier period from mete-
orites. Recently a considerable amount
of evidence in behalf of this hypoth-
esis has been presented by G. F. zim-
mer. He has compiled a list of the
known iron-containing meteorites,
nearly all accumulated within the last
century, and he shows from these alone
about 250 tons of iron might be OBJ
tanned. Of this amount more than SO
per cent is malleable, consisting of
nickel-iron alloy.

VOLUNTEERS AT
 POST REPORTED
 BEEN ACCEPTED

The local board was advised yes terday from Fort Gibbon that all the boys who had volunteered or were drafted had been accepted, passing the physical test with high marks. The only vacancy to exist in the ranks is the delinquency of Tom Rostad in not reporting.
 The commanding officer at Fort Gibbon is highly pleased with the class of men who have responded to the call, and he states that physical ly it is one of the finest bodies of men that has ever come before his notice. All seem willing to learn and they arc throwing themselves into the work with zest that speaks for q crack company once they get to working together.
 Th2 following are those who eom- posed the last consignment: Myer Samson koteck, Andrew Steven Busch, John Sigfried Peterson, Dong II. Young, Isadore St5 n, Carl F.

ALASKA WOMAN
 MEETS DEATH

Late advices from the Outside bear news of the death of Mrs. Rudolph Kalenborn in Tacoma, Washington, during the early part of this month. The death was caused by the over- turning of heavily loaded automo- bile, which crushed her so badly that death occurred before medical service could be of use. The acci- dent occurred while Mrs. kalenbOrn and a party of young ladies were on their way to Camp Lewis to pro- vide entertainment for the soldiers there at one of the theatres in the cantonment.
 Mrs. Kalenborn will be remem- bered by the oldtime residents of the upper country as the wife of Rudy" Kalenborn, the druggist. Af- ter living in Dawson for some years they visited Fairbanks in 1912, later going to Tacoma, which they made their home. At the time of her death she was 3S years of age and had lived in America for 31 years, coming from London, Eng land, the place of her birth, when seven years of age.

EXECUTION SET
 FOR OCTOBER 4

The date set for the execution of Milo Seguro, who was convicted at Iditarod for the murder of J. E. Riley, has been set for Friday, Oc tober 4, at an unnamed hour and in the presence of a specified number of witnesses.
 At the conclusion of the trial and on the rendering of the iury's yer dict, Attorney Tozier, counsel for Sc guro, gave notice of an appeal which, until it is passed upon, will act as stay of execution, and until such time as decision has been given on the appeal the date of the execution cannot be certain.
 Physically Seguro is not a large man, being of average height and weight, and his general appearance is one common with his race. On coming off the boat yesterday he made no manifestations as to the presence of the crowd, but walked in a nonchalant manner, being i'm mediately taken to the federal jail where he will be confined until the date of his execution.

KEYS BOYS ARE
 NOW ON WAY
 TOFORElCN SOIL

Writing to The Citizen from Camp Merritt, Tenafly, New Jersey, the information is conveyed by the Keys boys that they were on their way overseas to serve with the colors having left Kelly Field, Texas, where they were in training for a number of months.
 The letter stated that they had a great time going across the coun. try, being royalty entertained by the inhabitants of all the towns they passed through. At the time of writing they were ready to sail for France, and in all probability that would be the last opportunity they would have to drop line for some time.
 They also mention meeting Jack Dalton, who at one time was em. ployed by the A. E. c. at Nenana. He is a member of the same conl- pany as they, and they feel quite at home by having an Alaskan with them. w. c. Blanchton was also mentioned as being member. Kind. est regards were extended by the boys to their friends here.

ROLAND GIVEN
 BIG CONTRACT

NENANA, July 30.-The first large grading contract between Nenana and Fairbanks was awarded yester. day to Knute Roland, who will pro- ceed at once with the preparations for making his camp in order to start work as soon as possible.
 Roland previously had a large con tract we'll toward the 43-mie section but was driven out by the high wa ter, suffering much loss. The new contract was given him in order that he might not be such heavy loser in his work.
 The new contract is on the north side of the Panama river, about three miles from the bank, and is of about one mile in length.

CERTIFICATES
 HAVE ARRIVED

Certificates for those who have enrolled in the public service re- serve have been received by JOlfn A. Clark and are now being dis tributed to those who have affixed their signatures to the roll.
 When the call came for those who had knowledge of any of the ship building trades to come forward and affix their signatures, signifying that they were willing to enter the ser vice of the nation in the shipbuilding trade, the call met with ready re- sponse, although there were not as many received as could have been, the quota allowance for this district falling below that set by the public service reserve board.
 The certificates are much in the nature of diploma, being nicely printed in Old English and Script type, and would be an ornament in any home.
