By way of stimulating sale of Thrift Stamps, Postmaster Walsh has placed Thrift Stamp cards with stamps at tached in many business houses where they may be easily seen by the public. The demand for War Saving Stamps has been such that the second ship ment to the postofIice has been entirely sold out and only Thrift Stamps re- main. How soon another supply will be available is uncertain as the post master has no information as to quan- titles forwarded up to the present time. A new supply may arrive on an early mail or it may be several weeks before more stamps are available. In the meantime the public is urged to pur- chase Thrift Stamps which may be eX- changed for War Savings Stamps whenever new supply arrives.

,'The Nome Common Council will meet in executive session at the city hall this evening. Efforts to ascer- tain if the council will appoint suc- cessor to Councilman Lynell, who de- parted for the Yukon a few days ago, were unavailing. It appears that the departing councilman failed to send in hss resignation before hitting the trail. This will probably have the ef- feet of suspending any present action toward filling the vacancy.

TELLS OF LIFE IN TRENCHES
Corporal Willard Spoke In City Hall
Theater Last Wednesday Night.

The address given by Corporal will
lard, member OF the first contingent
OF the American expeditionary forces
TO France with General Pershing, at
the city hall last Wednesday evening
was a very interesting one Its
eloquence lay in its sincerity and per-
sonal experiences rather than in ora
torical ability, and he held the close
attention OF the large audience pres
ent from start to finish. Starting at
the camp where his regiment spent
some time In training, he took his
auditors TO the port OF embarkation
across the sea TO the port OF landing
and from there by cars TO the front
In terse language he described
camp life, trench life, and "over the
top" in France.
Shock troops" he stated, are those
men who have volunteered for the
carrying out of some particularly
dangerous duty on the lighting line
and when once chosen always remain
shock troops. Going over the top"
Sunday school picnic where every
a Sunday school picuic where every
one gets the most he can out OF II.
The ambulance drivers and ambu-
lance drivers and ambulance corps
came in for unstinted praise. They
seem TO be without any fear, and worl
with only one thought-the picking
up OF the wounded and rushing them
to the hospital in the shortest posi-.
bic time, where brave and willing
physicians and nurses ministers 10
their needs.
The work of the Red Cross, Y. M
G. A. and the Salvation Army for the
comfort OF the soldiers in France was
highly extolled, and gave us a fine in.
sight into what the work OF these or
ganizations mean to boys over there,
especially the value OF the comfort
kits to them.
He told OF the seven kinds OF gases
used by the Germans. but in terms too
technical for ye scribe to set down in
cold type
We were glad of the privilege Of
nearing at first hand such an account
OF war operations in France, and we
set 1t down as our opinion that man
who has been "over the top" and can
look upon II as picnic Is worthy
son OF a worthy sire. and will uphold
AZ all hazards the splendid traditions |
OF American soldiers. It forestalls |
as nothing else can, the fate that lies
in wait for the kaiser and his hordes. |
