URGES NEGROES TO
BUY LIBERTY BONDS
Folks at Home Should Support
Colored Troops That
Are Abroad.

An appeal TO the Negroes, to bury
Liberty bonds until it hurts, is made by
Lieutenant J, II. w. Ayers, Medi cal
Reserve Corps, 81 Kennebcc street,
Wilmington In his letter he says;
ain these turbulent times when Ameri-
can manhood Is being spilled on the fields
of Europe and all America is stimulated
with the progress that the troops from
here are making, we too as race have
Just cause to be equally proud of the
boys that we have gwen to such noble
cause, for they have already made an
enviable record by the valor and courage
they have shown ON the firing line.
"Thcse BLACK Americans, as they
are sometimes misnamed, have proven
that of all people the Negro as race
is most patriotic, and it Is up to us, who
are not able to take up arms, To support
those boys whose blood is running GRIM
son on the bloodsoaked and shellscarred
fields Of France
"How can We best do this?' The an
swer stands out clearly, Buy, buy; buy
until it hurts for inasmuch as we put
money in Liberty Bonds, War Savings
Stamps and Thrift Stamps we are lending
an Invaluable aid TO the government
which must keep those boys in food,
observing the laws of conservation, by
Hooverizing, and by giving what aid we
can TO make those boys over there
happy as possible. These are the things
that are in the power of all no matter
what his or her vocation in life may be.
These are the times when every Negro
must think OF the serious side OF life,
for the sacrifices we are now making
and the blood that rs being spilled are
but the having of a foundation OF justice
''To the mothers who have giventsons.
and the wives who have given your
husbands, can but say, Let not your
hearts be troubled for to You belong
those heroes, black though they be. who
are traversIng the silent halls Of death
and whose deeds will become implanted
in the hearts Of every Negro.

 Tn my opinion, the whole Shil- ka matter in Seattle is the result of nothing but general misunder- standing. The strange, flag seemed to, excite much suspicion and many believed it to be the Bsloheyiki flag The flag, however. is known by all the Russian residents of Seattle.
 Personally, I feel absolutely sat isfied as to the loyalty of the ship and her officers to the provisional government.

OPEN LETTER TO THE PUBLIC
 ABOUT SAVING Judge Royal A. Gunnison Outlines Some of the
 Details of His
 Work. ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED Will Be Necessary for Everyone to Cooperate to Help Win the
 War.
IS NEEDED

In an open letter to the Press, Judge Royal A. Gunnison, federal food commissioner for Alaska, says, among other things:
 As you are, of course, aware, the United States Food Administra- ton has extended it's activities to Alaska and President Wilson has approved the appointment of the writer as Federal Food Administra- tor for Alaska.
 MT. Hoover, the United States Food Administrator, has stated the purposes and hopes of the admin istration, tersely, as follows:
 It is the hope of the Food Ad- ministration to so guide the trade in the fundamental food commodi- ties as to eliminate vicious specu- lation, extortion and wasteful prac- tices, and to guard our exports so that against the worlds shortage, we retain sufficient supplies for our own people and to cooperate with the Allies to prevent imitation of prices, and that we stimulate ill every manner within our power the saving of our food in order that we may increase exports to our Ali lies to point which will enable them to properly provision their armies and to feed their peoples in Winter
 The Food Administration is call
 ! ct, md rt to disturb conditions and to de- fend honest enterprise against il- legitimate competitor. It has been devised to correct the abnormal ities and abuses that have crept in to trade by reason of the world dis turbance and to restore business as far as may be to a reasonable basis.
 There is no doubt but that the conservation and control of our food, and the stimulation of pro duction of food materials, is ab- solutely necessary to our success in the war.
 The newspapers of the country play an extremely important part in the work of the Food Administra- tion to "grubstake" our soldiers and our Allies, for it is through the Press almost entirely that the Food Administration is able to reach the individuals constituting the great public, to set forth its aims, the necessities for the work and what it is accomplishing.
 The limited space and facilities of the Alaska newspapers is real ized by the Federal Food Adminis- trator, but the patriotism of the publishers and the staffs of the va rious papers is also appreciated. Hence, we have no hesitation in asking your assistance in this work.
 The Federal Food Administrator for Alaska has established a Di vision of Publicity. under the inn mediate direction of Mr. l.. l.. Hard ing, and this Division will see to it that National and Territorial Food Administration news and in- formation will go forward to you at frequent intervals.

CONSCR|PTION OF WOMEN IS
 GERMAN PLAN
Working Girls Are Not Given the Same Con- SideratiOn as the
 Wealthy Ones.

COPENHAGEN, Jan. 4.-Plans for the war are being made in Germany, and there is general feeling that girls, as well as boys, will be com pelled to undergo a regular period of training corresponding to the Ger man youths service in the army. The service proposed for girls is not military, but civil. It is proposed that all women should, preferably at the age of IT, be taken from their homes and compulsory train ed," either in a profession, a trade, or in household duties.
 The characteristic German division between rich and poor is maintained in the project Girls of the upper classes are to be trained in special institutions; poor girls will go to factories or be placed in private households, where their employers will give them trifle of pocket money and make a contribution to the State.
 The idea meets with wide com- mendation in the German newspa- pers, but one English critic notes that there is some difference be- tween made conscription which puts man into a regiment run by and for the State, and a female conscrip- tion which makes a girl work with out wage for profit of private in- dividuals. The latter cannot with accuracy be called anything but slav- ery"
