President Pays Eloquent Tribute to.
Mother, Memories of Whom Come
Back With Increasing Force as
Years Accumulate. Hears Ser
: mon by Bishop.

Carlisle, England, Dec. 29.-
President Wilson, accompanied By, !,
Mrs. Wilson, came to Carlisle today
in rain and cold penetrating mist,
to visit the girlhood home of his
mother. But the warmth of the
greeting of the people Of the town
and of the thousands; Of strangers
from the surrounding country more
than Offset the dreariness Of the
weather. Large crowds lined the.
streets and cheered the presidential
party Justify as it drove from the
station, where the president was re-
ceived by Mayor Bertram Carr and.
local notables, to the Crown and
Mitre HOTEL where the president
signed the Freeman's roll.
They visited Annetwell Street,
where the site Of his late grandfath-i
er's chapel was pointed out to him
and the house in Gavendish Place
that was built by his grandfather.
During the services, the Rev. Edward
Booth, the pastor, requested the /
president to come into the pulpit and !,
address the assemblage.. This the
president did, delivering a short
speech, in which he touched simply
but eloquently on his mother. The
president spoke as follows.
.1t is with unaffected reluctancs
that I inject myself into this service.
7 remember my grandfather very
III, and remembering him, Ican see
i. = he would not approve. remem-
- What he required Of me and re-
ltmber the. stern lesson Of duty hs
spoke. And I remember painfully
about things he expected me to know
that I did not know. -
"There has come q change Of
times when laymen like myself are
permitted to speak in congrega-
ton. There is another reason why
I was reluctant to speak.
"The feelings fixed in me today arc
really too intimate and too deep to
permit of public expression. The
memories that have come of the mo-
ther who was born her care very at
fecting. Her quiet character, her
sense of duty and her dislike Of os-
tentation have come back to me with
increasing force as these years Of
duty have accumulated. Yet, perhaps,
it is appropriate that in a place Of
worship I should acknowledge my
Indebtedness to her and her remarka-
BILE father, because all that the world
is now seeking to do is to return to
the paths of duty, to turn from the
savagery of interests to the dignity
of the performance of right.
81 believe as this war has drawn
nations temporarily together in
combination of physical force we
shall be drawn together in q combi-
nation of moral force that is irresisti-
BILE. 1t is moral force as much as
physical force that has defeated tho
effort to subdue the world. Words
have cut as deep as swords.
"The knowledge that wrong has
been attempted has aroused the ma
tions. They have gone out like men
for a crusade. No other cause could =.
have drawn so many nations togeth-
er. They knew an outlaw was a.
broad and that the outlaw purposed~
things.

MUSICIANS ARE ASKED TO GIVE IN THEIR NAMES Efforts Are to Be Made to Keep a Band for Ju-
 neau Which Is
 in Demand. A CALL BEEN ISSUED There Are a Number of First Class Musicians in Gastineau Chan
 neI Towns.
A CALL BEEN ISSUED

A good brass band for any city is generally mater of evolution. Musicians come and go and bands organize and disband, until finally out of the trials and tribulations a good town band is organized which sticks.
 Several bands have been organ ized in Juneau. Some of them have been good bands. In fact, there are now enough musicians on Gastineau Channel to form as good a band as can be found most any place. The trouble is, however, that some of the musicians work at other voca- tions and it means real sacrifice in time and money to attend prac- tice and play for engagements.
 Despite all handicaps, few of the musicians still believe that Ju- neau may finally get together a band which will answer all purpos- es. The business people have been liberal always with their support. In the past too often band masters have come along and wanted to see the color of the "coin of the realm" before giving up any of their talent. The belief still pre- vails that if a few earnest musi- cians would get together and give up enough of their time for prac- tice that they would get engage ments and secure money from other sources to be well paid for enter prise. All the business people. and citizens demand is an evidence of good faith before a subscription paper is showed under their noses, and asked to put up for something before they are given any idea Of the "class of goods they are going to receive"
 Frequently calls come in for mu- sicians. For time the Island peo- pie were blessed with an excellent band. There are now in the city several excellent orchestra's, among them the High School Orchestras, under Prof. J. Sumpf; the Palace Theatre, and Marks Orchestra. There is also a need for a corps of trumpeters, to be formed by six or eight buglers for the Home Guards.
 Carl Johnson, of The Empire Staff, has been asked by several peo- ple to issue a call for musicians and see what may be done towards or ganizing another Juneau band, and if sufficient number of musicians are not available on the Mainland to include Douglas Island, and Tn that event constitute a Gastineau Channel Band. Any person inter ested should leave his name with MT. Johnson, and if enough inter est is manifested a meeting will be called and the musicians organized and a leader selected of the nome brand" instead of the imported ar ticle."

SHOEING HORSES IS
 NOT EASY TASK FOR
 SOLDIERS TO LEARN

CAMP LEWIS, Wash, April 5. -Shoeing horses that never before have been shod has its thrills un- der any circumstances. but at the horeshoeing school of the remount depot the thrill is eliminated as much as possible with the aid of the shoeing stocks. If horse or mule is at all inclined to object to hav- ing his feet tempered with, he is placed in the stocks and comes out shod.
 It takes about four months to transform an average soldier into a first class horseshoer and they are being turned out from the re- mount depot at rapid rate. There are forty-eight fires in the school, each with complete equipment. |.

HEADQUARTERS OF
 ARMY EXCHANGE.
 OPERATORS BUSY

CAMP KEARNY, San Diego, Cal, April 5.-Headquarters of the command holding a trench area, as exemplified in the recent tour of duty of the officers training school corps in the trenches here, is about as busy a place as well can be imagined. Much of the business IS handled over the telephone and virtually all the slight noises in the headquarters came from the voices of the men using the tele- phones.
 Several lines-their number vary ing with the strength of the com mand and the area it held, were run into the headquarters and con nected to small exchange direct ly comparable to those used in of- flee buildings or other private. tele- phone exchanges seen in everyday life. Tn orderly, sitting on the dirt floor, with a receiver strapped to his head, operated the exchange.

CIVILIANS MOSTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR
 WAR IN MEXICO

JUAREZ, April 5.-Revolution- ary war in Mexico has been con- ducted largely by civilians during recent years. Since the downfall of the Huerta government, few train ed military men have participated in the revolutionary movements or have held commissions in the fed eral army.
 General Carranza, president of the Republic, was a planter in Co., ahuila before the Madero revolu- tion begun and he was made pro visional governor of that state. While he holds the rank of gener- al, President Carranaza' military experience is limited to reviews and observations of battles from be- hind the lines. He prefers to wear civilian clothes to uniforms.

MOSS FOR USE FOR WOUNDED
 IS EXPLAINED
Red Cross Will Give At- tention to This Phase of the Work Near
 Juneau.

For some weeks past plans have been pending between Red Cross Di- vision Headquarters and the local Chapter, regarding the use of spagh um moss in certain types of Red Cross supplies. Mrs. G. T. Jackson, chairman of Military Relief for the Juneau Chapter, who has previously made a detailed study of the peat bogs of this locality, has now agreed to take charge of the spaghum moss work here and expects, in the near future, to formulate definite plans for the collection and use of the moss.
 At present the bogs are buried un- der a depth of snow so great that any sort of field work will be i'm possible for some weeks Persons desiring preliminary information. how ever, may consult Mrs. Jackson at any time
 There are, according to Mrs. Jack son, two species of spaghum moss in this vicinity, one of which is com paratively valueless for surgical pur poses, but the other of which is in demand because of it's highly absorp- tive quality, As soon as the snow has disappeared sufficiently, Mrs Jackson expects to mount speci- men of each species and place them where they may be examined by per sons interested in collecting the moss for the Red Cross.

PRO- GERMANS HAVE
 NARROW ESCAPE FROM MOB
FEDERAL AUTHORITIES TAX E THE MEN lN CHARGE AND
 FIND DAMAGING EVIDENCE

Muskogee, Okla, June 6.-The action of a mob which gathered in front of the clothing store operated by r. II. Mayland and Fritz Crl- cauer, alleged pro-Germans, and threatened them with violence this morning will have it's aftermath to- morrow when charges involving vio- lations of the sedition bfl will be filed against the two men.
 Federal officials said tonight that the evidence on which they will be prosecuted is now in their hands as Ia result of a raid on the house oc- cupied by Maryland and Cracauer after they had been taken to the federal jail this morning
 What the evidence consists of the officials would not state, but it a said that lists containing the names of many Germans were found.
 The painting of five figures repre- senting iron crosses on the show win dows of the store this morning drew an immense crowd and when May land and Cracauer appeared at the store trouble seemed imminent. May land ran, pursued by a crowd. and after being caught, someone called for a rope
 This was forthcoming, but a prom inent attorney who had reached the side of Mayland pleaded with the crowd against mob law.
 A policeman then took Mayland to jail Cracaeur was rescued from the store and also lodged in jail
 A search of the store and the house in which the men lived revealed sey- eral hundred pounds of flour and sugar, all of which was confiscated by the United States marshall.
 The Muskogee company of the na- tional guard was given special in structions tonight to hold itself in readiness for a hurry call to the fed eral jail in which the two alleged pro-Germans are confined.
