TIE GREAT LEADER
OF OUR ALLIES

Our boys are now following the
great leader of our Allies lover
there fighting the battle Of the
United States, fighting without
thought of being heroes-but fight
ing that men, women and children
may not be tortured, burned and
mutilated. Fighting against the
bestial foe Of America and mankind.
No greater heroes nor Drawer men
ever fought on the battle-felds Of
France than our "Sammies." Men
with dauntless spirits-men Of red
blood, courage, energy, vim and
Uigor are needed every day behind
the lines as we'll as behind the guns.
You need iron in the blood! Every
healthy man or, woman should have
about as much iron in his or her
body as there is in an ordinary
"tenpenny" nail. To gain this iron.
the bestway is to take an iron-tonic,
called "Iron-tic," a combination Of
iron in its most soluble form, dis
covered by DR.. Pierce and expert
mented with by his physicians at the
Surgical Institute in Buffalo, N, Y.

HOG ISLAND ACHIEVEMENT
PRAISED
Building Of Great Shipyard Ranks
Among Chief Feats of American
Labor.

When the war has ended, and it is
possible to judge things more fairly
than at present. the tremendous un-
dertaking of the building of the Hog
Island shipyards will. perhaps, rank
among the greatest feats of labor ever
accomplished in this country.
A distinguished Englishman has
thus commented on the Hog Island
establishment:
This is the most marvellous engi-
neering feat that | have ever seen.
and the organization which is con-
Quoting the work is unique. 1t can
not be duplicated anywhere in the
world"
The engineers, the management and
the workmen are all entitled to cred
it for the construction OF this magic"
city, with so ways for the launching
of ships. In spite of difficulties at the
start in making satisfactory housing
arrangements at spot so remote from
the facilities required for the COM
fort of workmen, the force remained
on the job until the difficulties were
surmounted and the yards made ready
for the manufacture, not mere build
ings. of ships. At this yard the De-
partment OF Labor is informed that
the number of accidents is being cut
to uncomnonly low rlgures.

SHIPS ARE CONTROLLED
Vessel Leaves for Europe from Y.

Every six minutes ship arrives
and another departs from some Ameri-

the Emergency Fleet corporation in
its official publication. Including
coastwise traffic, there is departure
from North Atlantic seaports every
II minutes. This -yate of operation

which are leaving these inward and
outward bound wakes are merchant

This fleet now numbers more than
1900 ships and because of the neces-
sity that they do the utmost work they
are capable of doing. in the shortest
possible time. their movements are
checked up with the same precision
that obtains on railroads. Over them
now is concentrated the authority of
the Shipping board, an authority as
absolute as that exercised by the d.
rector general of railroads over the
railway systems.

FISH SHIPMENTS MADE
FROM ANCHORAGE

ANCHORAGE. (By MaiD-Anchor-
age is developing into shipping point
for the fishing industry. Canned and
sailed salmon are brought here in
small power boats and on barges and
are then sent to the states on ocean
steamships.
The most recent shipment of fish
from Anchorage to Seattle consisted
of 1900 cases of salmon that had
been brought here from Libby, Nc
Neill and Libby's cannery at Kenai.
and $50 barrels of sailed salmon that
had been brought here from the plant
of the Kachemak Saltery and Canning
Company at Swanson Creek.
The season for canning and sailing
salmon is drawing to a close. Many
of the persons and firms in the sal
mon fishing industry will soon go into
the herring fishing business. The
herring run occurs in the winter
months and attains its heaviest pro-
portions at Kachemak Bay and other
places near the mouth of Cook Inlet.

GERMANS DARE NOT

Why Rheims has not been attacked

ty General Won Ardenne, military
critic, in the Berlin ''Tageblatt-"
The city of Rheims has very
strong garrison" wrote the general,
"at least two divisions of colored
Colonial troops. These find full pro-
lection from the German artillery fire
in the deep lying cellars, miles in
length, which the big champagne firms
have dug into the chalky soil. The :e
cellars can also be kept closed to the
gas fumes which spread out over the
ruins of the city.
The garrison is therefore girded

Inspiration to New Efforts

Inspiration to New Efforts
No more practical means OF inspir-
ing labor to the great task of winning
he war has been developed, accord
ing to information reaching the De-
partment of Labor. than through the
wartime practice of inviting the work
men in a body to witness ship launch
ings. At the big Fore River yards
and elsewhere every effort is made to
assure the men who have built the
ships an opportunity to see them slip
into the water, for the men in witnes.

realization of the great work America
is doing, but they take personal
pride in their own labor that they
would not feel otherwise.

vessel more or less to the Navy or to

HUNS HAVE BECOME
GH0ULS, DEAD MUST
GIVE UP SHROUDS

The cold blooded mater-of-fact way
in which it is proposed to strip the
dead OF their graveclothes is astound-
ingly illustrated by an article in the
Elberfield. Breie Presse. which Is
worded as follows:
Not only have the living duty to
the Fatherland. but also the dead.
The duty of the dead is to be buried
without clothes. 1t has often been
noticed that the dead are being buried
not only with clothes, but with under
clothes. and even shoes and stockings.
This is beautiful custom. no doubt,
but it is impossible in war time. The
paramount necessity today to stretch
our stocks OF WOODEN goods makes it
imperative that we should abandon
this custom.
Everything depends today on our
utilization OF every possible piece OF
clothing. and only the sorrnear;edness
Of our authorities and tenderness and
far prevented the compulsory strip
ping OF the dead before interment
A hint. however. has been given to
all the authorities connected with bur-
ials to put a stop to this practice and
to confiscate all unnecessary clothing
If the dead cannot be buried naked,
why not give them paper clothes
Our paper industry is far enough ad-
ranced today to enable US to give the
dead worthy, and even beautiful cloth
ing.
| 1t is now the duty of the govern.
ment to promulgate the decision that
only those who succumb to contagious
diseases shall be buried in their linen
Otherwise this linen and all other
clothing and underclothing must be-
long to the community.
Victory depends on such little
things as these.

MUNITIONS MEN RAN
THE STREET CARS
Solution of Transportation Problem
for War Workers Was Simple
When Attacked in RIGHT Way


When Attacked in Right Way
Street-car troubles-congestion and
inadequate service-have arisen in
many places where war industries
have transformed overnight a small;
city to busy factory center, perhaps
of quadrupled population. The De-
partment of Labor and the War De-
partment have been faced with many
problems.
In one such place the street car
company was unable to provide serv-
ice for the war workers, most of
whom were forced to live at long dis
tances from the principal factory, and
as a result the men gradually dropped
away from work. The factory owners
became desperate. and with only a
small force left on the job decided to
attempt a dangerous remedy-length-
ening the working day to get more
done by the men who were left.
This plan led to crisis, and the
Government was obliged to take a
hand. The ordnance department sent
an official from Washington to inves-
tigate and he discovered that the
trouble was not lack Of cars but lack
OF men to run them The remedy he
proposed was simple-he advised
choosing experienced streetcar men
from among the factory workers to
make trips on the cars morning and
night TO take others to and from
work The solution proved thorough
~ satisfactory and what might have
proved serious alteration was
