 This is the first year the Salva- tion. Army has called on the public for funds to aid 1t in war work Heretofore the work has been prose cuted from the funds of the organi zation collected in the usual manner This last Spring a call was sent out by Miss Evangeline Booth, at the head of the American branch of the Salvation Army, for s1.000,000, She quickly got more than S2,00O,O00 Then she left for France for the pur- pose of personally overseeing the work done there by the American branch of the Army.
 "The Salvation Army has felt that Alaska should help in this great work" said Ensign Kerr. "and sent me out to see what I could do. The people of Petersburg came to the front nicely, and I am here to re ceive what aid the people of Juneau see fit to give"
