REPORT CARDS EPLAINED

Douglas. Alaska, Jan. l7 1918. Editor News:
 There seems to bc doubt exist ing iu Che minds of some ot thc pa- rents as Co Che precise meaning of Che phrases on Jho back of Che re- port cards
 In order Go explain this. may say that cheeks are put after thc trait Co which attention is Co bc called. For example. if a check is put after Influence. Good" it means that Che child IS a conspicu- ous influence for good, a leader In a positive way. Likewise. if check is made after Conscientious" it implies that tho child is couspicu- ously conscientious.
 On Che other hand. if a check is put after "Work carclcasly dono' or "Auuoys others" the meaning, no doubt. Is obvious.
 The whole purpose of thc last sheet of Che report card is Go serve as a barometer of department. Th, pupils are not only given a mark in department, but are told iu a definite way what their good and bad traits are.

 vision managers throughout the country:

This number added to the more than G.OOO,OOO members before the Christmas campaign makes the total present enrolment of more than 22,OOO,OOO.

 But thc wonderful achievement of enrolling onc-hfth of thc entire population of the United States as members of the American Red Cross is less a triumph than it is call to greater service The Red Cross is moi merely a humanitarian organ ization separate and distinct from others, but it is the mobilized heart and spirit of Che whole American people.

NOW LARGEST
 EVER KNOWN
Never in History of United States Has Her Army Been Nearly so
 Large as at Present Time

A statement Issued recently gives what the country is doing in the war and what we are getting for our money The statement follows:
 "The latest official figures put the number of enlisted men in the armies of the United States at 1,- 3GO,OOO. This is tho force that has grown in eight months out of an army that on April 1 numbered llO,- OOO men.
 Most of them arc stH in the training camps. Many of them are not yet disciplined troops, fully equipped and armed for battle. But there they are, 1,3GO,OOO of them, already one of the biggest factors Hndcnburg is reckoning with for the campaign Of 1918.
 "Of the new American force more than three hundred thousand men are regulars. In all the world only two regular armies remain, the Am cricau and the Japanese The others have an been swept in the flood of war. Whom the first American on- slaught takes place, German Land wehr and Landstrum troops will find themselves opposed to an army of professional soldiers.
 Present War Force 1,5OO,OOO
 Behind the regulars are the 4OO,- OOO soldiers of thc National Guard, regulars in experience, many Of them, thanks to Mexico. After the National Guard come the GOO,OOO men of Che new National army The whole military cstablihment, with the marines and auxiliary forces thrown i'm. numbers million and a half.
 "The first thing to be done for the now fighting men was Co pro- videthem with shelter and clothing food and warmth. That large under taking is all but accomplished. Equally great is the task of proyid- ! ing arms. To arm an infantry di- ! vision in the Civil war meant to provide as many muskets and as many bayoncts as there were men in the command.
 "In the present war the job is more complicated. There are rifles and bayoncts to be furnished now as formerly. But there are also grenadcs and gas makes and helmets and trench morturs to bc seen to. Each of Che four infantry regiments in a division must have 4SO trench knives, l92 automatic rifles and three one-pound cannon.
 America's Largest Army
 "Thc present American army is the largest the western hemisphere has ever seen. It is as if the entire population of the state of South Carolina or the states of Nebraska and Wyoming put together mon, women and childrcn-wore sudden Iy to be converted into young men clad i'm olive drab and organized into companies and battalions.
 "When Great Britain entered Che war it was with a much smaller army. The first expeditlonary forces barely a hundred thou sand. The Kaiser called it a con- tempuble little army. Yet without its work at Mons, Paris might have fallen. One hundred thousand mon, but the encouragemontthey brought to the French was enough to avert defeat in the first year of the war.
 "It is the hope of the allies that our new force will be enough in Che fouurth year of the war to insure victory. 1T it is not enough, Amer ica has the men and the machinery to make a greater effort"

BOARDING OF

Food Administrator Deplores Indi- e cations of selfshness and
 Lack of Help
Juneau. Jan. I7. 1918.

Juneau, Jan. I7. 1918. TO the Press of Alaska:
 There seems to be a good deal of boarding in the country Of many commodities. The present situation In sugar Is more due to this than any other cause lt is obvious from the very large demand for flour in wooden barrels and the generally Increased flour demand that this trade is also affected. Salt, matches and other commodities have also been drained from many markets. The cause seems to be a combination of greed, fear and in some places of propaganda.
 It is obvious that movements of this sort could quite well bring the whole Administration to disaster. For instance if every home bought a barrel of flour it would represent onc-hfth of our entire annual pro duction. lt has proceeded far enough in the flour trade to make control of prices difficult: for thc mills, although running l3O per cent normal capacity, are unable Co keep pace with demands. lt clouds thc whole issue of conservation, for while the same person may eat weekly less flour we are simply at sea to know what our exportable re- ources might be. We do not be- lievc it is happening in the larger cities with few exceptions as all statistics of flour car arrivals and departures indicate a considerable reduction of flour intake in those ccntcrs.
 Therefore, the United States Food
 Administration, through the Fed cral Food Administrator for Alaska, respectfully asks the press of Alaska in SO far as they can consistently do sd not to accept advertisements for special sales of sugar and flour, whether from distributor or manu- facturer. che scarcity of both com making it unnecessary Co make extended efforts to promote the sale of either or both.
