As rule formal ratification OF a
peace treaty is expected and neces-
sary to make it valid.
Peace treaties are usually written
by hand throughout,t sealed with
many seals and bound with green
silk ribbon,
Thc,rulers Of the signatory powers
don't ailix their signatures or seals
to peace treaties entered into by
them. This important formality is
carried out by special accredited
peace commissioners.
Each nation entering into a peace
agreement is bound by all of the
terms agreed upon by its peace COM
missioners, provided it cannot be
shown that such commissioners did
not expressly violate the instructions
given them.
The effect OF peace treaty is TO
put an end not only 10 a war but
also to all complaints relating to the
subject for which war was under
taken. A new war can be under
taken for similar causes OF complaint
but not for the same. The peace is
an oblivion or amnesty of all past
difficulties.
Latin originally was the language
in which all'peace treaties involving
Christian powers were written. Later
French was generally adopted as
the language for such agreements,
but nowadays it is customary Tor
copies OF the treaty to be prepared
i'll the language of each OF the sig
natory powers.
Each signatory power is given an
original copy OF the peace treaty. In
addition, it is customary to make |
and sign several copies of the treaty |
for convenience. The original copies |
are kept locked up in the archives /
of the different countries, while the |
certified copies are used for printing
from and for reference.
Peace treaties are not written
straight across the page or pages,
like ordinary documents. They are
written in parallel columns, ea"'
column being in the language OF one
OF the signatory powers. The %eXt of
each of these columns is an exact
translation OF the text of all the 9th
er columns, and the utmost care is
taken in the selection OF words that
will convey identical shades OF

 NEW YORK, Mar. 6.-Former President Roosevelt today took up the cudgels in behalf of Alaslla's big game by sending to the conven- tion of the American Game Protec- tive association in session here a message urging it to use its intlu ence to defeat the bill introduced in the house of representatives by Chas. A. Sulzer, delegate in congress from Alaska, permitting the killing of wild game in Alaska for marketing purposes and allowing the keeping of such game in cold storage. if necessary.

 RECEIVED FROM
 MANY SOURCES

With the month but half gone, the orphan fund is exceeding by many dollars all previous reports. Tester day there was added an amount sufficient to keep an orphan for a year, although derived from two sources and to be applied in differ ent manners.
 From Fox comes a donation of $11.50 from the school children of that place. Last Christmas these children made a drive and secured $25 to be applied to the support of an orphan, and lately they made another from which they secured the amount necessary to keep one for a year. Their selection Is a Belgian orphan who is now in France, and in the near future their teacher, Mrs. E. B. Collins, will outline an other fund campaign for them to adopt a French orphan. as they do not wish to slight anyone,
 To the credit of MT. and Mrs. Emil Van Raes goes the sum of $25 donated to the orphan fund by the raffle of pair of Belgian hares. One hundred chances were disposed of at 25 cents a chance, and the to- tai proceeds were turned into the fund. Harold Bleecker, who has been wanting pet rabbit for some time, was the holder of the lucky number and is now the proud pos sessor of pair of Belgian hares With these two additions to the fund the amount is as follows:

IN AND AROUND RUBY
Bp Special Citizen Correspondent

The Ruby Derby, scheduled for March IS and postponed because of impossible trail conditions, was held on Wednesday, March 20. The wealth CT was ideal for the event, and the following entrants raced their dogs to Long and return. distance of 29 miles each way: Walter Goyne with 16 dogs left at 9:30 A. M.; George Jimmy. a native driving eleven dogs belonging to Dr. F. B. Good, $40; John Pilbock, dogs. $50.
 Almost immediately after leaving Ruby Goyne had the misfortune of having one dog go lame, the animal having been kicked by horse the day before the race. Goyne united the dog and let him run loose be- hind the sled. Upon arrival at Long the lame dog became confused and ran into the Wild Goose dog houses. This necessitated Goyne's going after him and making him cross the line. In this manner considerable time was lost. and it is the opinion of the spectators that this delay caused Goyne to lose first place in the race, which was won by George Jimmy, time 6:04:12. as against Goyne's time of 6:O6:49. Mushers coming into Long later on who had witnessed the passage of the team from the Fourteen-mile road house stated that the loose dog was limp ing badly when he passed that way.
 A picturesque feature of the race was George JimDy's leader, Fancy. She is. without doubt, intelligent enough to be human. When she skinned into sight of Long. it seem. ed as if she were just rolling at an easy gait. When she reached the narrow trail leading off to the Pio- neer road house, for just the frac- Ol d SSCOlU Sllc SWtINtu OH lulO it and, quick as lightning, at a word from the Indian. she regained the main trail. In front of the Wild Goose, where the teams all turned, she made a spectacular, clean turn instantly and darted directly back for Ruby amid the admiring excla- nations of the crowd. Not one sec ond did she lose.
 John Pilbock arrived late at Long and made Ruby at 5:O9 P. M.
 George Jimmy's team was awarded first money, s250; Walter Goyne's second money, s125.
 Last year George Jimmy ran the same race, time 5:2334; Alec Brown, time, 5:23:39; Walter Goyne, time, 5:2s:5O
 Judges of the race were Peter Johnson, Thos. DeVane and Pat Whelan at Ruby; Chas. Hoxie. ST., Fly Wallace and Carl Faggstrom at Long.

THIRD ALASKAN TOWN RECEIVES
 AN HONOR FLAG

Advices received by The Citizen from the Liberty Loan headquarters of the Twelfth district at San Fran cisco show that up to Saturday night three Alaskan towns have been awarded Honor Flags, showing that they had subscribed their quota. Cor dova received its flag Saturday. The other two towns already being awarded flags were Ketchikan and Anchorage.
 The number of towns throughout the entire western district being awarded flags is growing steadily. Saturday twenty-six flags were award ed. The drive seems to be pro- gressing with satisfactory speed and, while official figures for the district are unobtainable, on account of the Liberty Loan officials being far be hind in the tabulation of the sub sCribers. 1t is believed that it is millions of dollars ahead of the orig inal estimates.
 The following message was received Sunday by The Citizen from Liberty Loan headquarters covering Fridays drive:
 San Francisco, April 13. 1918. The Citizen, Fairbanks:
 "Cordova awarded Honor Flag to- day. bringing the total flags awarded in the Twelfth district up to 179 for the end of the first week of the Loan drive. The district is millions ahead of the official bank reports San Francisco alone has subscribed $25,000,0O0, and the State of Oregon nearly s20,O00,000. Women workers in every state are credited with bringing in millions in subscriptions.
 IVAN SMITH"
 Yesterday The Citizen received the daily report covering Saturdays re suits as follows: San Francisco, April IA, 1918. The Citizen, Fairbanks.
 Two hundred five Honor Flags awarded this district and claims have been received for thirty more. It is believed that the Twelfth dis trict leads all others in the number of Honor Flags awarded. There is no slowing up in enthusiasm.

IVORDALE HOME FROM EXTENDED
 OFFICIAL TRIP

From an extended trip of several weeks, Game Warden Hjalmar Nor. dale arrived in Fairbanks yesterday afternoon. He left here on January ?, and was for the entire time on the run Investigating the district over which he has jurisdiction.
 On his return trip he left Mo Grath on March and has been on the go constantly since that time. The return was made by the way of the Kuskokwim, Lake Minchu- nina and the Kantishna district.
 From McGrath he headed for the Mt. Foraker section, where he made Ia side. trip of about twelve days duration around the headwaters of the East Fork of the Kuskokwim and about the base of Mt. Foraker. From this section he headed for the Kantishna via Lake Minchumina, arriving at Glacier city, and then made for Nenana via the Middle river route. arriving there on the 10th of April.
 In speaking or the conditions oD- served during the trip, he states that everything was in good order. In making the trip across country it was necessary to break trail all the way, as no visible trail was to be seen. Just shortly before leaving McGrath a twoday rain was had, which obliterated what trail ever eX- isted. and heavy snowfall came shortly after The rainfall was gen eral throughout the Iditarod and Kus- kokwim. The mail service to these places was put out of commission by the bad weather, and it will be some time before the schedule will be resumed.
 An abundance of big game was noticed on the trip, while the scar city of birds was remarkable, very few being seen on the entire trip The stampede to Nixon Fork is nothing for those living in Fair banks to get excited over, as noth- ing extraordinary had developed up to the time of his leaving.
 After leaving the Kuskokwim sec tion big timber was scarce, and no accommodations were to be secured, it being necessary to make camp every night wherever suitable tim- Der could be found, and it was scrub by at that.
 With Nordale on the trip was Perry Warner, who remained at Ne nana.. Both men had seven dogs to a team, and by alternating in the lead the trip was not as hard as might have been. Although slightly reduced in weight, Hjalmar is none the worse for his long trip, and will soon hit the trail on another trip.

INFORMATION OF VALUE GIVEN
 CONCERNING RED CROSS WORK
 BEI'C DONE FOR THE SAMMlIlEESS

tuberculosis, the deadliest enemy c. the civilian population of France for general relief work, and dozen other helpful and constructive ser vices. The work of the American Red Cross in France is Good Samari- tan work. It is the attempt of a nation to make answer to that ring ing question of the Masters, Who, then, was neighbor unto him who fell among theives?" The medical and hospital supplies of some of the armies allied to ours are not sufficient to render the relief their soldiers ought to have. And the civil population of some of these countries is suffering severely from disease after nearly four years of war.
 0. Are knitted wash cloths accept able to the Red Cross?
 A. Yes, if knitted in fine mesh, they are acceptable and needed. Wash cloths made of toweling are also desired and are preferred, in many ways. The wash cloths should be knit only by beginners. All who have learned the stitches should at once begin on sweaters or socks? 0. Are crochetted articles accept able?
 A. The war authorities in France prefer not to have them. They are bulky, and seldom warm enough. It is preferred that not even in Am erica should wool be used in cro- cheted articles, except in the lay, cites for infant refugees and shoul' der capes in black for refugee wo- men.

The Woman's Bureau of the Red Cross has prepared answers to some of the many questions that have been asked concerning the knitting work. Should others occur, leave them, in writing, at the Red Cross room at the library. and the bureau will answer them if possible, or if not will ask the division officers at Seattle for the information.
 o. Is it advisable to put in sock machines to knit socks?
 A. Our advice is strictly against this, as headquarters with it's ma chimes can supply the necessary quota of machine-made socks. The machine-made sock is used in hos pita!s only.
 O. Can the heels of socks be knit ted double?
 A. They can be, but it is not en- couraged by the Red Cross authori. ties. Experience has shown that heels knitted double thicken from precipitation and crack across where the heel begins.
 o. Are any chain letters appealing for contributions of money or arti. cles authorized by the Red Cross
 A. No; "The Red Cross has not and does not approve of the chain letter method of obtaining gifts and has never authorized any person to use the name of the Red Cross in any chain letter scheme. You are urged to pay no attention whatever to any chain letter reaching you in which the name of the Red Cross is used" Instructions issued by Divi sion HeadQuarters).
 O. For what purpose is American Red Cross money spent in France and Belgium?
 A. The public's money given to the Red Cross is being spent in France and other allied countries for such purposes as the following: Infirma ries and rest stations for the sick disinfecting rooms and dormitories for the soldiers; for hospital equip ment, medicines and dressings (near ly 4.000 of the 5000 hospitals ir France are now receiving supplies from the American Red Cross); fol food for the sick and needy, fol ambulances for the wounded; fol motor trucks which make the Am erican Red Cross independent of the already overburdened railways ir France; for the investigation ant cure of trench diseases; for the building of homes and schools fol the orphans and helpless: for tho relief of destitute families; to figh
