towns to volunteer their services as members of this Board of Instruction The Provost Marshal General has asked that they be men with "ardor to help win the war; willingness to serve without compensation or ex- ploitation; appreciation of the possi- bilities of the plan; intelligent con ception of the kind of soldiers the Nation needs; ability to analyze mems difficulties and to inspire in them patriotic desire to serve.' We know that this community pos esses many men of this type and we contemplate no difficulty in organiz ing our Board of Instruction once the patriotic nature of the work is known to them.
 "The work of the Board of ln- struction will be somewhat as fol lows: During the perturbation per iod the selected men will be- called together by this Local Draft Board and at that time particular informa ton will be given by members of the Board of Instruction, along the fol lowing lines: the personal value Of
 military training; the chances for promotion, etc.; the aid and friendly support of the Red Cross, the Y. M. c. A. and other camp activities; the provision the Government has made for the protection and welfare oi disabled soldiers and, in the event of death, of their families and de pendents; through its War Risk In surahce Bureau; the Government pro- vision for allowances and allotments to soldiers dependents.
 '1n addition to this the Local Board expects to receive the offer of some ones services to instruct the selected men in preliminary mili tary drill, to familiaFiZe the men with first principals, to teach them the fundamental principals of mili tary discipline, and in the customs etiquette and ethics of the distinc tive branches of the Service. Per haps this feature can be accomplish ed through out efficient organization of Home Guards. which the men will be urged to attend. The military training received through our Home
 Guards by men who have entered | the Service from Juneau has proven it's value for it placed them a month
 or more ahead upon their arrival al i camp"

Will Be Used Throughout the Territory for Selec- tive Draft Men of
 1918 Class.
ANNOUNCEMENT MAD E
M. s. Whittier Explains the Scope of the Work and What Is to Be AC-
 Comp|ished.

Announcement was made today at the office of the Local Draft Board that the Provost Marshal General, through the Local Board, is to es- tablish Boards of Instruction through out the Territory, whereby the selec- tive service men of the 1918 class just registered are to receive ad- vance instruction in military matters before their induction in the Army.
 In explaining the nature and scope of the work of the Boards of In struction, M S. Whittier, member of the Local Board stated: "Its object is to put the selective service men into camp. willing, loyal, intelligent, clean and sober, and thus to fit them for rapid progress in becom- ing good soldiers. This is to be ac- comphshed by systematic personal instruction given beforehand to each select4ve by members of local com mittee of reputable citizens in each Board area acting under the aupices of the local Board. The necessity for working for this object is that very few selectives have seen any military training before reaching the camp. Further, camp surgeons re- port that the mans mental attitude affects his physical condition. Thus the efficiency of the National Army is affected by the mental condition of the individual after selection in Class 1 and before arrival at Camp. Army officers have stated that to send contingent of men who have been put into fit condition mentally and morally is to gain at least a month, and often more, in time, for the readiness of the division to leave for the battle field"
 The plan of organization is this, the Local Board desires a number of men of Juneau and other channel

keeping the gold mines of Juneau running, though in some instances at a loss to themselves. He said gold was an essential war material, and it's production dignified, pa triotic pursuit.
 Dr., Hindley paid glowing compli- ments to the people of France and Great Britain and Canada and other Allied Nations, including Italy, and especially dwelt upon the fact that Canada by the British North Ameri- can treaty was not compelled to furnish one man or dollar to if nance the war for England, but went into the strife voluntarily because the people realized the danger of German autocracy.
 Coming down to the United States, the speaker said that he had great admiration for Col. Roosevelt as one of the greatest of "our private citi- zens," ,but differed from Roosevelt that the United States should have flung itself into the war when the Lusitania was sunk. He declared that America. entered the war at the physicological moment, and it seemed as though President Wilson and his aides were divine agents who picked the proper time, for had they en- gagged the country into war when the Lusitania was sunk it would have ended fin a great tragedy to the American and Allied cause

GER. DAvISON'S
 PROMOTION GIVES

No Army promotion that has yet more Alaskans than that of Gen. Peter w. Davison. recently appoint ed a Brigadier-General. The merit of Gen. Dawson was recognized by the people of this country, and there has been rejoicing all the time in the record he has made.

The Alaska daily empire., 1918-09-07

A still bigger audience filled Elk's Hall for the second Chautauqua pro- gram rendered last night, to hear the lecture of "The Reign of the Common People" by Dr. w. J. Hind ley. The Fillion Concert Party again performed and the members showed that they had few new stunts "up their sleeves"
 Dr. Hindley was introduced by Father Roccat who had known Dr. Hindley while the latter was Mayor of Spokane and while the Father was resident priest there The humorous Introductory speech made by the Father caused much hugh ter and applause on the part Of the audience, especially when the fether in, showing how a community spirit of unity could do so much for town, how such spirit was shown in securing the Chautauaua here, how it was part of the teachings of the society to encourage such spirit, unconsciously exclaimed with great fervor that he had tried to keep out of, politics, and added, God help me to keep out of poli- tics in Juneau"
 The audience fairly shouted with laughter. and it was several minutes before the father could resume.
 Need For Cooperation
 Dr. Hindley emphasized the spirit of corporation needed for winning the cause of freedom for mankind. He said the rumblings ofs the rights of the. common people could be heard all over the world, in Ger. many as well as elsewhere, that the common people, through the present war. were coming into their own, and that they would make, it impos- sible for such war as the present ever to be repeated. He declared that ignorance was the worst foe to progressiveness and condemned the street corner agitat0rs' who sought to capitalize the ignorance of tho masses for selfish ends, spok- en in the name of humanity. He said Russia was brilliant example of people in darkness trying to struggle towards the light, who were sold out to the Germans by the Bol- sheviki, because of their ignorance and lack of preparedness to govern themselves. However, he still had hopes of the awakening of Russia and when that awakening came and constitutional government was re-es- tablished by the aid of the Allies. there would be such great indus trial boom throughout Russia as would greatly swell the trade of the Pacific Coast. and of Alaska. He pictured how Juneau could manufac- ture its raw products on the ground and build up great community and send forth it's products by ships to the seven seas. ,..
 Democratic infusnce of War
 The speaker said that the present war had leveled all class, distinc- tiens, and that the blooded aristoc racy of Great Britain was fighting and shedding it's blood in the trench es along with the representatives ol the common people. He paid great tribute to King George for his demo cratic ways, and thought he probably would be the last king of the Brit ish Empire.
 Praises Gold Production
 The speaker comphmented the residents of Gastineau Channel, as well as other Alaska towns for their liberal war donations and co-opera tien, and said especially was credit due to the patriotic men who were

BRITISH LABOR's PROGRAM

A Subcommittee of the Executive
of the British Labor Party has pre-
pared reconstruction program which
is worthy of attention. The program
will be considered from every view
point by the party in England and
many changes may be made before ii
is adopted as the official platform OF
the Labor Party In its present form
it is one of the most mature and care
fully formulated programs ever Offer
ed by a political party of the recog-
nized standing of the British Labor
Party. Unless opposed by coalition,
this party may elect a majority in the
House of Commons at the coming gen.
eral election.
The program does not consist of
war cries or peace pleadings, it has
no Utopian ideas and does not hold
out bait for votes. 1t tells what the
state must and can do and what the
workers themselves must do in order
to bring about social improvement.
1T is the result of an adjustment be-
tween many opinions and interests"
says The New Republic whose con-
flict in the past have impaired the
unity and hampered the growth of the
British labor movement. 1t was writ
ten as a result of the sufferings, the
struggles, the experiments, the fall
ures, the successes, the aspirations
and the thinking of the British wage
earning class during its four genera
tions of conscious development"
Some Americans will shrink from
the drastic character of some of the
proposed social and financial legisla-
ton. So will some British, but the
world must recognize that the social
problem will be far more serious than
it was before the war. If the demo-
cratic countries fail to accept a plat
form along the lines of that proposed
by the Subcommittee they may pro-
woke a more dangerous and drastic
agitation.
America would find it necessary to |
modify much of the program before
it would remedy our social problem |
America, nevertheless, must have a
reconstruction program which has
been carefully thought out, not by
group of social reformers, or anti
social revolutionists, but by Americans
who recognize the needs of labor, by
who will plan for the well
fare of America and all of it's classes,
not for the welfare of a political
party.

The intensity of emotion and the
spiritual exaltation wrought by the
war have brought forth many poems,
but in few of them does such simple
faith and strong conviction of the
right shine out as in this. 1t was
written in 1915, during the second
battle of Ypres. Before conscription
in Canada and when voluntary en-
listment had begun to falter, the poem |
was used by the Government. Great |
Britain owes the presence of many of
her sons on Flanders soil to these
fifteen lines of faith and courage.
Colonel McCrae went over in the
early days of the war with a hospital
unit from the City of Montreal For
more than three years he had labored
to lessen the sufferings of shot torn
bodies and war weary souls. Death
came to him from pneumonia the
twenty-eighth of last month.
This man, although his body lies
where poppies blow" has thrown to
us a torch which shall be lifted and
carried to the people, not only of
mistaken Germany, but of the world.
