CARING FOR THE WOUNDED
Army Hospital and Individual Prep

wounded while abroad are not going
to be nearly so badly off as the term
wounded" might at first imply, if they
are to be sent to Asheville for "recon-
struction" and the restoration OF their
nervous system. Preparations here,
both by the government and by the
leading women OF the city, indicate
that life for the soldiers will be made
sojourn in AsheVille
To start with the wounded men will
be quartered at Kenilworth Inn, de-
signed as a high class resort hotel and
only turned over to the government as
a hospital for the period of the war,
after representations had been made
showing that the use of the hotel was
absolutely neces sary. The hotel is de-
signed throughout on the highest class
scale, and the grounds Immediately
surrounding it are the most beautiful
and picturesque to be imagined.
Located in a dense grove, at the top
of a high hill, the new hospital will
have all the advantages of splendid
view,s together with shelter from
any harsh winds, and while complete
ly isolated from city life, is yet within
a stones throw of the street car line.
Aside from the plans made by the
government the women of this Sec
| ton organized under the leadership
of Mrs Thomas S. Rollins, are prepar-
! ing to look after the cOnvalescents,
and see that they have plenty of diver
sion and fresh air. For this purpose
| the ladies have obtained pledges Of a
number of automobiles, and each car
will be manned by a driver and good
looking girl in uniform, who will act
as orderly, seeing to the wounded sol
dier's wants and explaining the vari
Gus points of interest to which the
wounded men will be driven. Women
and girls are entering enthusiastically
into the spirit of this work, and every
indication points to slow recover1es
on the part of the soldiers in order
that they may longer enjoy the goot
time that is going to be provided fol
them.

From that time on my friends the
"cooties" were constantly with me.
"Cooties," or body lice, are the bane
of Tommy's existence.
The aristocracy of the trenches very
seldom call them "cooties," they speak
of them as fleas.
To an American flea means a small
insect armed with a bayOnet, who is
wont to jab it into you and then hop
skip and jump to the next place to be
attacked. There is an advantage in
having fleas on you instead of 'cooties"
in that in one of his extended jumps
said flea is liable to land on the fell
low next to you; he has the typical
energy and push of the American,
while the "cootie" has the bulldog
tenacity of the Englishman; he holds
on and consolidates or digs in until
his meal is finished.
There is no way to get rid of them
permanently. No matter how often

THIRD LIBERTY
LOAN APRIL 6
ON FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF THE
UNITED STATES ENTRY INTO
THE WAR.
FOR THREE OR -FOUR WEEKS
How Large The Loan Will Be Depends
Upon Fate Of War Finance Bill
in Congress.

Washingotn.-On April 6, the first
anniversary of the United States en-
try into the war, the third liberty
loan will open. There will be cam
paign of three Or four weeks.
In announcing the date, Secretary
McAdoo said the amount of the loan
the interest rate and other features
such as converta bility Of bonds of pre-
vious issues, maturity and terms of
payment, are yet to be determined,
and that new legislation will be nee
essary before plans can be completed.
The fact that the amount of the
loan is dependent on further legisla-
ton indicates that it will be far more
than $780, 100000, the remainder of
authorized but unissued bonds, and
the fact that certificates of indebted
ness now being sold in anticipation of
loan bear IL per cent interest, az
fords some indication of the interest
rate.
How large the loan shall be depends
largely, however, on the fate OF the
pending war finance bill carrying an
appropriation of a half-billion dollars
and action on the railroad bill, with it's
appropriation of similar amount.
Although Mr.. McAdoo made no spe-
cific announcement, it is now taken
for granted in official circles that
there will be but one more loan be-
fore June 30, the end of the fiscal year.
The statement concerning the date
of the campaign was made at. this
time. Secretary McAdoo explained to
give every community time to prepare
for the big bond sale, and he strongly
advocated popular demonstrations OF
patriotism on the day of the opening
of the loan and second year of war.
After starting the date of the cam
paign opening, the secretary con
tinued:
april will forever be a consecra-
ted day in American history, and 1t
seems peculiarly appropriate that the
opening Of the second year of our par
ticipation in this war for the honor
and rights of America and the free
dom of the world should be celebrated
with a nationwide drive for another
liberty loan.
"The camaign should begin with
great demonstrations of patriotism ir
every city, town and hamlet in the
country that will truly express the
spirit .of aroused America"

TO Take Steps to Combat German
Aggression in Siberia.
Washington.-Indica now point
to an agreement between the entente
powers and America to conf1de to
japan alone the task of taking such
measures as may be necessary to COM
bat German aggression and influence
in Siberia and to protect the military
stores at Vladivostok. No final con-
clusion has been reached. however,
and it was said in high official quar-
ters that condition were changing
so rapidly and so many new factors
were entering into the problem that it
would be unsafe to predict overnight
what the issue might be.
Exchanges are proceeding rapidly
between the entente governments and
washington and the matter was con-
sidered at q cabinet meeting. 1t Is
understood that the state department
Is being slowly but steadily Influenced
to accept the view which seems to
obtain in Great Britain and France
and possibly in Italy. That is that
q single power with an efficient army
and navy within easy reach OF Siberia
and not otherwise employed, and act
ing in conformity with a general
agreement might be better able to
deal with the situation than any inter
; national force, such as was at first
contemplated.

gerous, because you are liable to burn
holes in the garments if you are not
careful.
Recruits generally sent to Blighty
for a brand of insect powder adver-
tised as "Good for body lice" The ad-
vertisement is quite right; the powder
is good for "cooties;" they simply
thrive on it.
The older men of our battalion were
wiser and made scratchers out OF
wood. These were rubbed smooth with
a bit of stone or sand to prevent spin
tiers. They were about eighteen inches
long, and Tommy guarantees that
scratcher of this length will reach
any part of the body which may be at
tackled. Some of the fellows were lazy
and onlv made their scratchers twelve
inches. but many a night when on

KAHLITNA RIVER GROUND
 SHOWS TO ADVANTAGE

Well pleased with the prospecting he has been able to accomplish this winter, A. E. Clark, representing the Lower Kahlitna Mining company, will leave for the state to purchase ma chinery with which to test this sum- mer on a more extensive scale the companys ground on the Kahlitna river. says a recent issue of the An chOrage Times.
 Before he left the claims of the company Mr. Clark put everything in readiness for the work this sum- mer. He has eight men on the ground and ditches and dams are in fine con- dition for the first water. Until his return from the states these men will work an open cut and sluice the earth thru boxes already in place.

IInnn the result of the sum

Upon the result of the summers work, asserts MT. Clark, will depend the future activity of the holding company. From present indications, however, he thinks there is no doubt but that the ground will pay to work. and is laying his plans accordingly. He intends to develop the property with both dredge and hydraulic plant. If it is possible to determine the value of the ground early next summer he will have his heavy ma chinery shipped in next fall and thus be ready to start active work in the season of 1919.

HAS ONE THOUGHT
 TO WIN THE WAR

That the one thought and purpose in the national capital is to win the war, was the statement made by J. L. McPherson, secretary of the Seattle | Chamber of Commerce and Commerc- ial Club, upon his return to Seattle. Monday from Washington. where he has spent the last several months in an effort to obtain legislation that will enable Alaska to develop it's re- sources.
 l Mir. McPherson said that the re- markable showing of Alaska this year in the production of metals and fish ing has aroused a widespread inter- est which cannot fail to be produc- tive of great good for the develop ment of the northland.
 "The fact that the land of gold has this year became land of food, with a fishing production greater in value than the combined fishery production of Washington, Oregon, California and British Columbia, and in the pro- duction of minerals. Alaska has ex- ceeded the mineral production of Cal ifornia, has brought home to the members of congress and our govern ment officials the great extent and value of Alaska's wonderful re- sources," said MT. McPherson. Alaska Loses in Population "The fact that, despite this great output of much needed products, AL aska during the last year went back in population over 4,000 strongly em- phasizes the necessity of a change in our Governmental policy towards the development of the northland, a pol | icy that is resulting in the creaming of the rich resources of Alaska. with out building for the future.
 "I have found widespread spirit of helpfulness among our leading pub lie men that augurs well for Alaska's future. They have been given to un- derstand that Alaska's one thought in this hour of worldwide crisis is how she can help"
 MT. McPherson also said that the American Canadian fisheries confer ence hopes to bring about settlement of all disputes and controversies be- tween Canada and the United States over the fisheries of both the Atlantic. Pacific and border states. This com mission he said, will hold sessions in Seattle, in the rooms of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Commerce ial Club.
 The United States shipping board, MT. McPherson said, has ordered hearings in the Alaska towns on the question of freight rates. There hear ings will be under the director of the boards attorney examiner O. B. Kent, who will be in Seattle some time about the 9th to 14th of May. and will proceed immediately north hold l ing hearings at Ketchikan, Juneau, lCOTuOtd, pew al anu <hhShoAooS'
 The United States forestry bureau will this year, Mir. McPherson also said, initiate the work of the segre- gation survey of all arabic lands em- hraced in the Alaska forest reserves This work will aid materially in AL 1 askan develOpment, as it will theE he 1 possible for prospective homesteaders l in the coastal region. where they will 1 find markets available for their pro- ducts. The greater value of the work, as viewed by the Alaska bureau IS the fact that many Of these men. with home ties in Alaska, will be attract ed to the fishing industry. and Will aid toward the building of a large fishing population in Alaska.
