ENTENTE AFTER THUNDER, TOO,
 DEBS IS REP ORTED AS SAYING

CANTON, O., June 16-Eugene V. Debs,s three times Socialist candidate for the Presidency of the United States, addressed the closing ses- sion of a threeday convention of the Socialists of Ohio here today Alphabetically denying that he had repudiated the party's St. Louis plat form, which pledges opposition to conscription and Liberty Bonds, Mr. Debs is quoted as deslaring the So- cialists must stand more firmly than ever for their principles.
 Debs. after paying tribute to the Socialists who have gone to Jail for the sake of their principles, praised l. w. w. members. referred to the Bolsheviki as comrades, and is said to have urged that the purposes of the Allies in the war are the same as those of the Central Powers plunder.
 A crisis in America similar tc that which placed the Bolshevihi in DOW. CT was predicted by Debs.
 J. J. Fried, alleged Cleveland So cialist, said Debs had approved g plan for American Socialists coop eration with the Bolsheviki by send ing an army of 100000 men to theil assistance.
 During Deb's address Federal op eratives seized and held for inves tigation 55 young Socialists who could not show registration cards.
 In his public speech Debs declared himself to be as guilty as Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes, who was recent, convicted of violating the espionage act. He said he would not try tt establish his innocence if arrested on similar charge, and added:
 The United States, under tho rule of autocracy. is the only coun try in the world that would send woman to jail for ten years for exer cising the right of free speech"
 Socialists, the speaker cried to hi. audience, must fight militarism where ever it is found. Don't i'm agine for a moment" he declared that all the junkers are confined in Germany. They don't want oul eyes focused on the .junkers of Der lin so we'll not see those in oul own country"
 You are in a cruieible today. Debs continued. If you permit your selves to be driven out of the party you are not of the stuff of whicf reyolutionists are made"
 Imprisonment of Socialists who have not feared to speak of theil views on the war. Debs pointed out would help the Socialists.

FACTORY FOR
 GYPSUM LIKELY
 LOCATED VERB
The Output for Past Year Was Less, but the Price Much Better Than
 Formerly.

It is believed that a number oi local industries might be established in Juneau. once the possibilities are realized for their successful opera tions, and among the first likely will be a factory to manufacture gypsum products from the gypsum mine in Southeastern Alaska According to statement. just issued by the Unit ed States Geological Survey at Wash ington, the output the past year de- creased, but the price was better. The statement says:
 The total quantity of crude gypsum mined in the United States in 1917 was 2,696,226 short tons, decrease of 61,504 tons from the output in 1916. This decrease was due to the reduction in building operations in the second half of the year. The total value of crude and calcined gypsum produced in the United States, however, was far greater 502,509.
 The average price per ton for gyp- sum and gypsum products shows a large increase over the price in 1916. The average value of land plaster rose from $2.04 a ton in 1916 to $2.74 in 1917, of gypsum for retarder in Portland cement from $134 to $1.65, and of all grades of calcined gypsum from $397 to $5.55.

THANE IS TRYING
 TO GET IN ARMY
 TO SERVE NATION

For weeks Bartlett l.. Thane, Man aging Director of the Alaska Gas tineau Mining Company, and head of the E. L. Thane Exploration Com pany Department, has been trying to get into the Army, and when the announcement was first made that Alaska was allotted ten Captains and thirty Lieutenants in new engineering regiment, MT. Thane wired Gov Thomas Riggs, Jr., mak- ing application for appointment as a Captain in that regiment.
 It has been known also for some time that MT. Thane has the project of the B. L. Thane Development Department for the development of great iron and steel business on the Pacific Coast about as far along the road as he had expected to got it until after the war.
 As far as his friends know MT Thane has no intention of severing his connection with either the Alas ka Gastineau Mine or the E. L.. Thane Development Department.

GOVERNMENT DEMAND BIG
 FOR WOOL.ENS

A friend of The Empire thought. in knitting in Alaska, the following from a trade journal might prove of interest to Empire readers:
 An idea of the tremendous hole in the Governments war needs are making in the ordinary supply of underwear and hosiery for the civil ian trade may be gotten from the following figures: Today the Unit ed States has contracts with over 400 knitting mills. It has paid them $75,0o0,0OO in the last year, and has thrilled orders for underwear, hos iery and other knitted equipment valued at $200000,O00. For the cur rent year the Government has bought 14,000,000 pairs of woolen puttees, 69,000,000 Summer and 49,000,0 900 winter shirts and drawers, 2S,000,- 900 pairs of lightweight wool half hose, and 45,00O,0O0 pairs of heavy weight wool halfhose
 These figures are combined from the buying of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps. They arc no index to the military strength, but include large reserve to be built up against any contingency. Already the Coy ernment has taken more than half of the product of mems two-piece un- derwear and large lots from mills that formerly made only women's underwear, and it is likely that for the winter of 1919-1920 the Govern ment must have every piece of mems woolen underwear which can be made in America.

Democratic Senators Aid Re
publicans InInterfering With
Merchants Marine.

Washington, Jan. %, William
Denman, former chairman of the
board, appearing before the
Senate committee investigating the
work of the board, declared that
owing to the filibuster against the
original shipping bill, providing for
Communicating ships, fifteen vessels
building for foreign countries had
been lost to the American merchant
marine. These ships were rushed
to completion and sent away to the
nations for which they were building
before Congress could pass the act
in a succeeding session.
The original shipping bill was de-
feated by a coalition of seven dem
ocratic senators, Bankhead, Cam
den, Clarke, Hardwick, Hitchcock,
O'Gorman and Vardaman and the
republican minority.

Of Interest to Planters and
Everybody.

The acreage in oats on the first
day Of January, was the smallest in
years, due to the long dry spell last
fall. The acreage in wheat is neg
ligible, and the State is facing an
unprecedented hay shortage.
Corn in St. Louis is selling for
$175. Hays are bringing from
$25.00 to $4,000 per ton. Even
shucks are finding a ready sale,
bringing from $15.00up. Cob meal
is selling from $1,000 up. Oat
straw is bringing $1,000,
Every part of the corn plant has
a ready demand, corn, cobmeal,
shuck, and stover.
But the point is that there are
practically none of these COM
modities for sale, and it seems that
we are face to face with inc most
acute feed shortaeg in the history
of the State, and we must get ready
for 1918. In certain OF our largest
distributing centers, shelled corn
can not be had at any price.
All lands that can be gotten in
proper shape ought to be planted to
corn in March. The best seed
ought to be used and not too spar
Iingly. And fertilizers ought to be
used more literally then usual, and
must be laid in at an early date i
,, they are to be had in time to use il
growing the 1913 crop.
1t is up to us all to see to it thai
the several counties plant their al
loted quotas. 1t is good bushes;
and a patriotic duty. We can't af
ford to go to our neighbors to Dor
row. They are supplying the boy
| in France and our Allies. Many o
our Allies are suffering for food.
See that the boy between the ag
of ten and eighteen is in the cor
club, then help him to make gooC

The Farmers Golden Op-
portunity.

Nowhere in the wide world has
anyone profted more from the war
than the American farmer Prices
of cotton, rice, sugar, grain, live
stock; in fact of everything the far
mer has to sell are higher than he
ever dreamed of-and the end is
not yet.
Unlike the farmers of France, of
Italy, of Russia, and of other coun-
tries in the war, the American far
mer can 60 about his work, sowing
in the Spring and feeling secure
that his fields will not be overrun
by the enemy before harvest; reap
ing in the firm knowledge that his
stored grain will not be seized by a
ruthless invader.
'Tis true the farmer has his trou-
bles. Help is hard to get, and the
cost of production goes up month
by month. What the farmer has to
buy also advances continually in
price, but the farmer, unlike the
city dweller, can, if he desires, pur.
chase very little and still get along.
His living is right on his farm.
That he purchases elsewhere is large
ly in the line Of luxuries. He can
sell now, while prices are high, and
buy later, if he wishes, after prices
90 down.
In fact it would be wisdom if he
would follow this plan. Cut down
on the purchases of luxuries and
save for the next period of depres-
sion. That is just what the United
States is asking him to do in con-
nection with the War Savings COM
paign. The world needs food-all
that can be produced. The govern
ment needs money-all that can be
had. Let the farmer produce the
food and supply hungry world, and
put his money-part, at least from
every load of produce he sells-into
government war savings stamps.
The security is the best in the
world; the interest rate Is good; the
War Savings stamps cannot decline
in value. The men, women and
children who own them are insured
against adversely.

Smileage Campaign.

Realizing the need OF proper en-
tertainment for the soldier boys III
the camps, the Government OF the
It. s has appointed a Military En-
tertainment Council, whose busi-
ness it is to provide such things as
will be of help to them. vi course
this means heavy expense and as
the government is already taXed.to
the limit it was deemed a wise plan
to inaugurate a campaign whereby
the individuals could help, and also
give them a good opportunity to re
member the boys hence, the Smile
age Campaign. which is on all over
the U. S. this week.
Smileage books are two prices
$1.OO and $500. The coupons in
the books entitle the owner to ad'
mission to the various entertain
ments provided. 1t is hoped that
the citizens of Iuka will be patriotic
and subscribe literally when called
on by the Campaign Committee
The goal for Iuka is $4,000.

A TWENTIETH CENTURY PAUL REVERE.

Listen, my children and you will hear,
OF another rider than Paul Revere;
OF tiny lad on a strange, strange steed,
Who rode race for his country need.
He heard ofhs countrys call for men;
He heard Of their sacrifice, and them
He heard of the need for money. 90;
For food snd clothes to help them thru.
He wanted to help, tho he could not fight
He wanted to serve in the of right,
SO he mounted Thrift Card reins in hand,
And rode and rode thruout the land
Money! he cried money for clohes!'
The boys in the trenches''-oh he goes;
And mid the sound of the cattering hoos
The call re-echoed the roofs
Gather your nicklesl Gather your dimes
Help the Nationl Prepare, these mes
The people heard, as the boy flashed by
They heard his fevered, earnest cry.
And out Of the stockings laid away,
And out OF the closets hid from day,
They gathered their savings of many years,
And poured them forth with hearty cheers
Take thcse,o they cried in the cause of right,
Wei save for the boys who nobly light
As on he sped, he heard them say.
Wen do our bt-save every day
And wheasthe boy on his valiant seed
Had spread the call of his countrys need
He drew the reins o old Thrift Stamp
And patted his nose, all sweaty and damp;
"Our work is done, ;" he said, old man,

HE FRENCH RECEPTION

A writer in the Eycrybody's, who was in Paris when that city re ceiYed its first glimpse of American troops, says:
 T listened with all my ears to the comments that were made, and as everybody was talking at the top of his voice to be heard above the din, ! caught a good many of them amusing. A great many times they said: Oh, is sont fameux'- theyr fine. I heard several times: How tall and thin they are' Once or twice, with hearty emphasis, al- most o' admiration: Heavens, how ugly they are (And this was really true. l didn't realize until I saw a mass of them together how the Lincoln type Of powerful, raw bOned sincere uGliness has per sisted in many Americans.) And d course a thouand times 'Vive les poilus d'AmeriQue!.
 One working woman walking in front of me, carryig a boy, kept saying: It makes me want to cry wheP see their flag here and an old man said: T hope there is a German spy on evry streeet cor ner.' One woman, jumping up and down with excitement, said: Oh, l am so glad am going to see them; l never say any Americans in my life.' l gathered from her ac- cent that she expected them to wear feathers and paint their faces with war paint. l cannot begin to tell you the atmosphere of friend Illness and evident good feeling which permeated this enormous crowd. l never felt anything like 1t in nv life. But what pleased me most of all was what middle-aged, mtddle-class woman on the street rsr going home said to me after she noticed Johns uniform. She Baid: Every time see the Am ertcan flag it makes me think: 'No the Germans were wrong. Ideals ers the FeaIest things there are"

General Pershiug's caOled report yesterday tba ' there never has been 2 similar body of men to lead as clean lives" should be gratifying to tue people at home and to the nation at large.
 Our boys in France represent the American nation, and their actions on foreign and friendly soil will, ill q large measure, determine the Iu- ture impression of the people of the United States. Our "Sammies' are fighting for an ideal, one that is high and noble, and one of which any Christian nation can be proud. It's impossible to imagine brutal Germany fighting for a similar ideal.
 To live up to the high thoughts Of the American nation is a duty of the United States soldier. They have two things to do, bring Ger many tJ her knees, and represent the highest ideals of the United States at the same time.
