1876 DRESSINGS ARE
SENT HEADQUARTERS
By RED CROSS BRANCH

The Surgical Dressings Department
OF tho Ottawa Red Cross Chapter to.
day shipped 1876 standard gauze
dressings. This is the largest single
shipment OF surgical dressings made
up TO date by the local chapter as
they were all made in two weeks time.
the last shipment having bee made on
March lst. OF the fifteen thousand
dressings, nearly half (about 7,00o)
were made by the High School girls,
who cut all of their own gauze and
over two-thirds OF the gauze used in
the chapter workroom. This wonder.
tul record was all done in six school
periods. IL is hoped this number of
dressings can be equalled or bettered
In the remaining two weeks of March.
II this is done II will mean that the
Ottawa Red Cross Chapter has been
privileged TO contribute lo00 dressings
per day TO bind up the wounds OF our
American soldiers who are now fight
ing for the liberty and safety OF every
man, woman and child In Ottawa, on
the battlefields of France. This can
not be accomplished. however. unless
the women OF Ottawa bear in mind
that the spring offensive or the great
German drive will not be postponed
for housekeeping or spring sewing.
The fighting goes on on had DAYS as
well as bright days, and the soldier
has no time of for motoring, no mat
ter how pleasant the day. II is earnest
" hoped that the attendance will not
fall of for never was the need OF
surgical dressings greater than it is
today, and the women of Ottawa are
urged 10 help make the slogan of 30
000 dressings for March possible.

AMERICANS MORE THAN
 MATCH FOR THE GERMANS

London, June l7-Reuter' dispatches from the battlefront declare that the American soldiers are more than q match for the Germans. Wherever the Germans have met Americans, correspondents of the news agency say, thay have been defeated.
 L The American soldiers, ordinarily full of tenderness, have resolved to avenge the death of their comrades, who have been slain by treachery. The Yankees will have no mercy on enemy soldiers who refuse to fight straight.
 Tho achievements of the Americans on the French front are being given wide publicity in this country, and their presence on the firing line in in- creasing number is having the effect of strengthening confidence throughout the British Isles and stitfening the resistance of the Allied troops.

lhe Democratic party in the Territory through having their vanity played upon. For example:
 William Maloney was exploited by friends of Wick ersham and was made to believe he could secure the Demo cratic nomination at the primary cleo ton. It was not that those friends of Wickersham loved Maloney more, but that thay loved Sulzer less that Maloney was beguiled into attempting a hopeless race. Maloney was mistaken and there is no doubt but that he now realizes his mistake, as probably do other Democrats who were persuaded into being lined up and used as tail to his kite.
 Now that Mr. Maioney and those who joined him in being used as tools of those whose aim was to wreck the Democratic party in Alaska having been shown their error at the polls, there is still room for them within the
  see fit to return to 1t and work for it and for the best interest of the Terri tory as they did before they were ex- plotted by politicians less honest and more designing than themselves. True, they erred but most people do at some time in their career, but if they return like ransomed sinners to the fold now, their errors will be forgiven them. There is work to be done for Alaska and, so long as the Democratic party is in power at Washington, that work can be accomplished within the ranks and through the Democratic party in Alaska.

Residents of Alaska must register be- tween July , and September B.
 This period, it is believed by the provost marshal general, will give Northernors ample time to comply with the regulations, the fact having been taken into consideration that the difficulties of travel in Alaska render registration slower and more Git'cult than in the States.
