SURELY AN EASY COURSE.

Misplaced enthusiasm for the
game Of golf has got many Il
man into difficulties. Not the
least of these Is the story of
golfer who had been ut u feast
which kept him from home until
the wee small hours.
His spouse, waking In the gray
dawn, missed him and went on
a searching expedition which
eventually led to a billiard
room which was all allght. AS
she opened the door, she saw the
head of the house, putter In

standing on the table.

FUTURE OF LAWN TENNIS
PAINTED IN ROSY hUES

The future of lawn tennis In
I America was painted In rosy
hues at the annual meeting Of
Z the United States Lawn Tennis
) association In New York city.
There Were many predictions
that the coming season would be
the greatest In the history Of
J American lawn tennis, partly
because of the steadily increas-
ing popularity in the game and
: partly because the war depart
ment has approved tennis as an
ideal game for training purposes,
and has created 100 courts at
army training camps. The an
nual meeting, held Friday, was
unusual in that no ranking Of
players for 1917 was announced,
n result of the war. Exhibition
games during 1913 for war funds
We're discussed and approved at

AMERICAN RED CROSS FINDS
BEDS FOR YANKS IN LONDON

LONDON.-The enormous influx
Of American soldiers and sailors on
leave in London has flooded all the
hotel accommodations in the city
and during the past three nights
hundreds of American soldiers and
sailors have found themselves at 10
or II o'clock at night without a
place to sleep
The authorities appealed to the
American Red Cross for help and the
organization Immediately threw open
several of It's large headquarters
buildings and furnished the men with
blankets and hot meals.
Several big American Red Cross
lorries have been run mp and down
through the principal thoroughfares
between II o'clock At night and 2
o'clock in the morning bearing illum-
mated signs reading: Sleeping quar-
ters for United States soldiers and
sailors"
AS each lorry was filled with men
it was taken to the American Red
Cross headquarters where canteen
girls served doughnuts, coffee, choco-
late, sandwiches, apples and oranges.
After this supper the boys were
shown to sleeping quarters" in the
various offices. There they rolled
themselves in blankets and slept in
long rows as many as 60 being ac-
commodated in single office.

many American soldiers have come
back from the lines for rest in the
past months. They could sleep and
rest here In peace, safe from the big
guns. the airplane bombs and other
lire. Many an American soldier will
carry back a warm spot in his heart
for the tunnels of Verdun.
Hardley had we entered the town
than the first parade of victory came
swinging down the main street. The
people of Verdun resembled an
Indian dong his famous war dance,
such was their joy. Leading the
parade were members of an Ameri-
can bugle corps, with drums that the
french furnished them, and they
were followed by Americans and
French with bugles.
Behind came a mixed company of
Yanks and Pollus, with color-bearers
waving two huge fiags-French and
American. Following these was the
most mixed mob of soldiers and
civilians that could have been gotten
together, and each one trying his
best to break his vocal organs. Amer
leans, French and the black Singalese
from the French army were in the
crowd and they were about the hap
piest bunch of men that could be
brought together.
Verdun simply went crazy after
four years of hell. Frenchmen openly
kissed the Americans on both cheeks,
and the Yanks soon got the style
and returned the compliment. Any
American in uniform who objected
to being kissed that evening would
have been compelled to wear gas
mask as preventive. 1t was wild
time.
Sliding back over the white,
straight road, we passed lines of
French and American motor trucks
carrying supplies to the front.
Hardly one passed that did not fly
an American or French flag or both.
1t is mystery where they got them,
but they were there. As we passed
the one word was on everybodys lips,
"Fini."
In Bar lie Due the window shutters
were opened and flooded the streets
with light for the first time since
1914. Streets were also lighted bril-
liantly and flags were everywhere.
If a person had seen France in
wartime, especially the portion near
the front, he will not blame the
French one bit for kissing everyone
that passes after the thing is all over
and victory is ours.

WILL PROTECT BONDHOLDERs
Treasury Department Planning ''Blue
Sky" Regulations Against Stock
Promoters.

WASHINGTON.-A method of re.
stricting fraudulent or highly spec
ulative stock promoting schemes in
volving the trading of these securities
for Liberty Bonds has been discussed
by the treasury and may be put into
effect soon to protect the millions OF
Liberty .ond owners against loss. In
effect, lie treasury's plan would be a
sort of national "blue sky" operation
by which promoters would find their
businesses subject to close scrutiny OF
the government. Those found suspi-
cious or of actual fraudulent nature
might be barred from accepting Lib
erty Bonds in payment for their Sc
curities, through the governments
refusal to grant them operating IL
censes.
The authority of this plan is given
in the provision in the fourth Liberty
Loan act empowering the president
to Investigate and regulate by
means of licenses or otherwise"
transactions in Liberty Bonds or GER
tificates of Indebtedness for two years
after the proclamation Of peace.
To Check Schemers.
The law was based on the belief
that after the war hundreds of pro-
noting schemers would spring up to
offer stocks and bonds for develop
ment projects in exchange for Lib
erty Bonds. This situation is now
developing, according to reports to
the treasury. Numerous organiza-
lions have been formed to float stocks
for oil or mining development and
other propositions and many of them
have circulated alluring advertising
pamphlets offering to accept Liberty
Bonds in payment for shares of their
stock, which it is claimed, will pay
a higher rate of interest.
The treasury's tentative plan for
restriction Of fraudulent stock pro-
positions would effect only dealings
in Liberty Bonds or other govern
ment securities, and would not pre-
vent promoters fro mselling their Sc
curities for cash.

thing. Say, when does the next
train pull out for Alabama?"
When that signal came announcing
all fighting off for all time, the little
shell-crumbled village of Moehuelles,
fifteen kilometers east of Verdun,
emerged from hell to heaven in three
minutes. All night long and during
the early morning hours it had been
under the heaviest shell fire of the
sector.
Buildings Completely Leveled.
High explosives, gas, shrapnel and
machine-gun shells were dumped into
| it's streets and buildings until every
landmark was lowered to height
hardly more than three feet. 1t was
not healthy place to be in. Fritz
had held it for long years, previous
to yesterday morning, when he re-
luctantly gave it up to the onrushing
Yanks.
He knew its every crook and turn,
it's every cross street, and when he
evacuated to a hill overlooking it
he laid his guns, big, small and med
ium, upon it's most prominent sec
lions and then tried furiously to use
up all his ammunition before the
peace hour arrived, so that none
might go to waste.
Fritz must carry union card; he
labored right up to the minute of
peace and until the whistle blew
Then he came out of his hole, aban-
doned his rifles, machine guns and
cannons, walked down the slope to

JUNEAU'S MAIN CHANGE.

That the advancement of Juneau and this sec inc deveopment of the fisheries, the timber and the water power of the country is the opinion or d. C. Mcbride Always public spirited and always awake to the main chance for Juneau, MT Mcbride has again hit the nail the head. Juneau must become the headquarters for large fishing industry and she should be the center of timber industry and the latter should not be confined to lumber but should include paper mills
 But first of all comes the fsheres-fresh fish and fish packing institutions Juneau should be the leading market place fish in the Territory. Iced fish should be shipped in great quantities from this place. and there should be large cold storage plants and canneries capable of taking of all the fish that is offered sale here Water front facilities should be provided for this industry, they should be provided at once, and they should be ample
 Then the people of Alaska should cooperate with will permit of the of Alaska timber in the paper making industry. There should not only be a flock of canneries and other fisheries plants on Gastneau channel, but there should be great paper mill here. The paper mills Ocean Falls and Powell River in British Columbia employ hundreds of men, many of them highly skilled and at high wages, at each place. Juneau should have plants like these.

The Anchorage Times is owned by Charles E. Heron, formerly Republican and now Wckite, and edited by l.. F. Shaw, formerly a Democrat but now Wickite, and it very strong for Gov Strong and William Maloney and other Territorial officials who did their best to the Democratic party in Alaska over to the Wckites All of which demonstrates that the Times,
 like the other Wickites, is interested only in the kind of politics officials participate in It is all right if they will their offices and official in fuence in politics if they do it to aid in turning the Territory to Wckersham his personal ma chine and a condition of chaos It is all wrong if they do in support of the Wilson administration and its constructive Alaskan policy.
