RED CROSS SOCIAL
 A GREAT SUCCESS

A large number of valdezans at- tended the Red Cross musicale and dance at the Post last night, the Post boat being taxed to capacity to accom- odate the crowds. All who attended report a splendid time and the Post ladies realized a neat sum for the Red Cross. Some of the cakes auctioned of went as high as s16.50, and bid ding was lively. A complete program of the function will be published in Saturdays paper.

TNLESS we. as citizens of Valdez, do all in our power to hang together and keep our citizens at home, we will report many absent at roll call next winter. The town must have indus tries if it has to pay bonus to se- cure them. We must give persons de- string to come to Valdez an oppor- tunity to secure remunerative em- ployment. There is room on our wat erfront for a large number of fac tories, but we hold on and wait for the ravens to feed us, as in the days of Elijah. We have the best town site and the best hafbof in the territory, both lying idle for lack of industries. Now is the time to get together and boost for our town. In good times we win be too busy to boost. In hard times we are too depressed. We have one cannery which adds to our rev. enue, but we should have more. There are more fish in the sea to be caught, and the same applies to other indus tries. The city council has advertised that it win pay cash for all fish brot to the city. but SO far we have failed to arouse interest. The flats are cov- cred with idle craft. There are thous- ands of pounds of fsh waiting to take the bait, but we can get no fishermen. The council asked for opinions on constructing a float, b':t aside from the usual knockers who hastened to protest against expending dollar to get back ten, there were no persons interested enough to meet the civic body half way. Are we lazy. self-sat- istied or indifferent! There must be some reason for our failure to take advantage of our opportunities. We work ourselves up to the point Of frenzy over politics or some small civic matter involving a few dollars and stuff cotton in our ears to keep from hearing the voice of Opportun- ity. We must put more time in trying to build up our city or we will have no city to build up. Meet with the council. Take an interest in city af- fairs, and if you have good idea for the advancement of our town send 1t in. Let the rest of us know it. It takes a united citizenry to build town. One man can pull down faster than twenty can build up.

by an overwhelming majority; but who can deny that at the time the draft was proposed that 1t would not have been turned down by . large ma jority. It takes time to educate na- ton up to where it understands It's peril.
 So with Ireland. Those who are loudly calling her a stacker today should remember that 1t is only lit- tie over a year since Great Britain and Canada were applying the same epithet to this country. We awoke to our peril and joined the world against the common enemy. So too will Ire land when she understands her needs. Until that time we must work to show her people the peril of allowing Ger man militarism to dominate the world.

IRELAND SLACKlNG"

The situation in Ireland today is g violation of the principle of self-de- termination for which we ourselves are fighting. Steadily for more than forty years has Ireland by vote of more than four to one asked for self government and been denied.
 Bad government brings bad results. Canada and Australia were both per mitted to vote upon conscription, and it was endorsed by the one and turn cd down by the other. No one can call the Australians slackers,i and yet Ire land has more volunteers in the Brit ish army at the front than Australia. Two years ago Ireland had contrib uted 173,OO0 volunteers to the Brit ish army and navy-all volunteers. That, for a nation of but 100000 people equals an army of 100000 volunteers for the United States. When this nation reaches that num- Der of volunteers it will be time to throw stones at Ireland. The above does not include the thousands of loyal Irish serving in the armies of the overseas dominions.
 General N. B. Marshall wrote from the Dardanelles, where the shattered Irish regiments stood shoulder to shoulder with the Australians and New Zealanders, Though I am En- glish must say that l am proud of the Irish soldiers. They have fought magnifcently. They are the cream of the army. Ireland should be proud of her sons as she has done her duty nobly."
 At time when this nation is heart sick because we ourselves are failing to measure up to the requirements expected it must be remembered that loyal, self-governing Australia refus' ed to accept conscription. But she was within her rights. So is Ireland.
 Critics throughout the nation arc making the most of Ireland's refusa to accept peremptory conscription Editorial writers are hurling broad sides at her for her alleged disloyalty These same writers were silent over the Australian vote; they were silent over the narrow margin with whicf conscription carried in Canada, ant they are silent over the refusal to al low the American people to vote upoI the question.
 The country today stands unhesi tatingly behind the administration 1T its war program, and were conscrip tion to be voted upon it would carr,

THE NEW espionage bill which somebody seems anxious to have Con- gross adopt provides twenty years imprisonment for the use of language contemptuous of the executive de- partments of the government but per mits scot freedom to anyone who ven- lures to criticise Congress. Why the distinction? Congress is as much an integral part of the government as the President or any of his appoin- tees; and most of the latter are de- pendent upon Congress for the crea- tion and the maintenance of the places which they hold. The new espionage bill would seem to make the creatures greater than the creator, ..

THE CALL OF THE ROBIN

A heavy coat of ice and snow
Is spread DER valley and hill
But down beneath it all / know
The heart of the earth beats still
heard the robins call today
So clear were his accents sweet
Again | lay in the arms of Spring
And felt her pulses beat.
Colby the half-moon glitters
Thru the boughs Of poplar white,
But many a leaf will there unfold
And simmer in the light.
When Springs warm breath is blow
ing
Thru woodland, vale and town,
And blossoms pink will the peach
tree bend
Der the fence by the brick walk
brown.
Ere long beside the slippery path,
Beneath the ice and the snow.
The grass will shoot and buttercups
Their yellow faces show.
At the foot of the snag in the fallow
field,
In its shadow dark and deep,
Many a heart-shaped leaf viii spread
And blue-faced violet peep.
For I heard the robin to Springtime
Thru the mists of the morning call
As he swung from the bough of a
maple
That towers DER the old church
wall
