ties, Just as we have met after a per-
lod of preparation and education, the
tasks imposed upon us by the war. Too
early a beginning cannot be made.
Competition between manufacturers to
get back the business they were COM
PEELED to sacrifice in order to assist in
the prosecution of the war will be no
less keen than the competition be-
tween chambers of commerce and the
cities they represent in quickly pre-
pairing those cities for new business
and as quickly making a bid for such
new business.
Efficient organization and judicious
advertising backed by ample funds to
carry on much work, will prove as eff
fective in community building as in
private enterprise Where shall we
look with greater confidence for an or
ganization equipped to carry forward
such a peace program than to the
Chamber of Commerce, composed of
the same men who have met every
sacrifice of time and money required
uf them during the war? And in the
preparation of a peace program, we
must include some method where adj
vantage may be taken of the several
organizations of brilliant and talented
women who have risen above petty
iealousies and have so splendidly car
ried their share of the heavy burden
placed upon all through the necessi-
ties of war.

THE LAST STRAW

The Chisana district is adm. t. tedly the most inaccessible plac CT discovery ever made in Alas ka.
 Since the James and Nelson discovery this camp has produc- ed over half million in gold, the present yearly output is over S5O,OOO.
 Nothing permanent was ever done to give this district any method of getting in supplies. Miners and operators have paid from 25 cents to $1.25 pound for their freight.
 These people never have had an adequate mail service. During the past year both incoming and outgoing mail was carried by the courtesy of the packers.
 There is resident population of from 50 to 60 in winter and and over 150 in summer.
 And now the Post Office at Chisana is to be discontinued
 Why was this office discontin- ued?
 It cannot be with the idea of retrenchment, for it never cost the government cent.

thrown aside. Conscience must

We must speak out because
we have been outrageously mis-

minority of professional spokes-

these lines have remained in my
memory:
oh, land Of now, oh, land Of
then,
Dear God, the dreams, the
dreams Of men,
Enslaved, immersed in greed
and hate,
Where are the things which
made you great?"
Gentlemen, the things which
made Germany great are not
dead, and the world cannot af,
ford to allow them to die. They
belong to the imperishable as
sets of the human race. They
have passed for the time being
alas! out of the keeping of the
mass of the German people
whose immortal inheritance they
were. They are now in the
keeping of that small minority
small but growing. of men ir
Germany itself from whose eyes
the scales are beginning to fall.
They are in the keeping of all
the nations who appreciate anc
cherish and are determined tc
maintain those great and high
things which the civilized worlc
has attained through the toll
sacrifice and suffering of its hes,
in the course of many centuries.
And, above all, they are in the
keeping of the fifteen or twenty
millions of Americans of German
descent. (Applause.)
It will be our glory after this
war is won to hand back these
ideals and these high and noble
things involate to the race from
which we have sprung, to 8
people, then chastened and con.
trite, of a country now blinded
by a hideous obsession and led
by the apostles of an outlaw
creed. And in thus preserving
them and fighting for them, as
we'll as for our -own country's
honor and safety, we shall not
only have fulfilled our duty as
loyal Americans and proved our,
selves worthy citizens of the
country to which we are bound
by solmn oath and by sacred ties
of gratitude and affection, bu,
we shall have helped to wrest
from perdition the immortal
soul Of the German people
Cheers and applause.)
