The Red Cross and Thrift Stamps

In the Red Cross drive a surprising
opposition to the whole movement has
developed in this section from persons
who are full-blood Americans by birth
and otherwise good citizens. 1t Is nn-
explainable, unless we attribute the op-
position to an absolute ignorance Of the
wofk>of the organization. From a pa
triotic standpoint big contributions to
the Red Gross are necessary; from the
humane stand point they are vital, and
from the religious stand point they are
Chfistlike. The Man of Gallilee was
won to relieve physical suffering and
that feature of his career on earth stands
out prominently. The work of the Red
Cross is TO prevent and relieve suffer-
ing. In addition TO administering TO
the comfort OF physically fit men in
the environments, or on the battlt field,
the Red Cross is the dependence of the
armies to care for the wounded, the
sick and the dying. In the face of
these facts it is difficult to understand
how any person a openly oppose the
great work.
An opposition similar to that against
the Red Cross has also been exhibited
in the raising of Liberty Loans and
sale of Thrift stamps. This must also
be from ignorance of true conditions.
This country is at war, and the people
collectively must finance 1t by loaning
money to the Government which repre-
sents us collectively. 1t is unpatri-
otto to hamper the raising of loans, al
though not every b Idy can help on ac-
count of individual financial conditions
but, nc true American should oppose:
that Is disloyalty.
The Red Cross contributions are a
charitable contribution while buying
Government obligations is a business
as we'll as a patriotic proposition. We
all know how the Stacker is regarded in
all countries aud among all peoples.
Our young men must go 10 the frol t
and give their lives If necessary. That
Is the supreme sacrifice. Buying Gov
eminent bonds and contributing to the
Red Cross may inconvenience US, but 1t
is the least that the stay-at-homes can
do. We trust every reader of the Elmer
Times will get the right view of this
horribly situation. 1t is
better to Inconvenience ourselves a
little now than to lose our all rs
people have done in the immediate
war zones.-Elmer Times.

SAD NEWS FROM
 FRONT RECEIVED

In the mail arriving on the Alaska was letter addressed to John Dris- coll bearing the tidings of the death of his brother William in the dis. charge of his duty on the battlefront. The information was sent by his brother Dan, who was returning to sence to his home in Ireland.
 William Driscoll had been in the service for about two years and was just recovered from wound he re- ceived in action. He was assigned to the charge of detail of men to do some road work back of the lines and was on his way to the place at which the work was to be per formed when shell from a German battery exploded near the men, kill ing eleven out of the fourteen com. prising the party, William among the number.
 This is the second brother to be lost among the Driscoll boys, Tim being lost off Jutland when the Brit ish battle cruiser Indefatigable went down. Patrick Driscoll is now on his way to the Outside for the pur- pose of offering his services to the country, and he has not as yet been advised of the death.

MUCH MYSTERY
 SURROUNDS THE
 CASE OF HALL

Much mystery surrounds the dis. appearance of Arthur D. Hall. who is registered with the local board and who failed to appear for induc- ton on June 27 and who has been listed as a deserter by the board.
 Prior to the time of induction Hall went to a cabin on lower Goldstream for the purpose of having an outing before being taken into service. it being his expressed desire to shoot a bear. which were reported numer- ous in the vicinity to which he went.
 Shortly before the induction day parties in the neighborhood of his camp heard several shots in quick succession and since that time noth- ing has been heard of the missing man.
 Recently a search party went out for the purpose of locating Hall or finding some signs concerning him. His cabin was found to be in good order, his mosquito tent over the bed, blankets and everything in place, dishes and food in the cup board and every indication that the man was still living there.
 On the table was a note and a bullet, the note reading, This is the bullet that killed the bear lying in the front yard" The carcass of the bear was found lying where in dicated.
 Tracing a trail, the party came to where tree had been felled across the stream, the bridges being washed out by the high floods. The branch es had been Topped off with one ex. ception, about in the middle, where a knot stuck up for few inches. It is the supposition of the search ing party that Hall in attempting to cross the stream struck the knot with his toe and was thrown into the stream, which at the time of his disappearance was a raging tor rent. Should this be fact, Hall is undoubtedly lying at the bottom of Goldstream or else tangled in a pile of driftwood somewhere in it's course, for he would have stood no chance of getting out of the stream had he been carrying a pack.
 It is probable that further search will be made for the missing man to set at rest all doubts as to his really being a deserter or victim of fate.

by July 1. The provision is also made for the conscientious objector to engage in some work for the common good at the pay of a pri- vate in the army. This ruling ap- plies to those who have been in- ducted into service and seek to evadc duty by their objections:
 In some towns of Interior Alaska the ruling of the provost general is being enforced. and several men have been added to the working force of the country by their choos- ing the work alternative.
 Locally the same condition will prevail, and just as soon as the local board, under whose jurisdic- tion this class of men comes, clears up the vast amount of work that confronts them the men will be re- quired to engage in some occupa- tion that will be for the common good. Already some of the most consistent loafers have been noti- fed to seek other places for willing away their time or else be inducted into the service along lines laid down by General Crowder.

RED STAR WILL
 BE ORGANIZED

In the last mail was received liter ature pertaining to the workings of the Red Star society. R. M. Brown, who for the past few years has been interested in the care of dumb ami mals, will have the matter in charge until such time as an organization is formed in Fairbanks.
 The Red Star has to do with the animals engaged in the war the same as the Red Cross has to do with the enlisted men. It is the function of the Red Star to con- serve and save army animals not only abroad but in our great con centration camps. by improved hos pital service, supervised by trained veterinary inspectors, thus reducing mortality and teaching intelligent care on the part of the soldiers. Over million and half of Am erica's horses have been purchased by the allies.
 The average losses of animals are 47.00 per month. To replace these losses by purchase rather than by cure would be as big problem as the war itself. To replace an aver age months losses on the western front alone would require five large ships for full month carrying noth- ing but horses, horse supplies and assistants. The country cannot spare the ships with which to do this. and America cannot supply the horses even though the ships were available. It is for the purpose of saving the horses that the Red Star is organized.
 published a letter from Mrs. c. w. Gasser of Rampant in regard to the Red Star, and a recent mail brought the news that Dr. w. o. Stillman. president of the American Humane Association in New York, had asked Mrs. Gasser to become field agent for Alaska, and that she would prob ably accept. Mrs. Gasser expects to visit Fairbanks soon.
 In the near future a call will be made for meeting of those inter ested in the movement and an or ganization perfected.

HERPICK DROPS
 FRIENDLY LINE

Writing from Seattle, A. Frank Herpick, who went there a few months ago for the purpose of To- eating, has the following to say to his friends in Fairbanks:
 Seattle, Wash, June q, 1918. ITO my many friends in Fairbanks
 and vicinity:
 q take this means of letting you know that l have become associated in Seattle with the Dexter Horton Trust & Savings bank (the largest trust and savings bank in Seattle), the capital stock of which is owned by the stockholders of the Dexter Horton National Bank of Seattle, one of the leading financial institu- tions on the Pacific coast. Interest paid on savings deposits at the rate of three per cent per annum, which is the rate paid by all of the larg- est banks of this city.
 Should you be coming to Seattle. it will give me great pleasure to have you call upon me, and any as- sistance can be to you will be heartily given. To those of you who are going to stay with the ship and remain in Fairbanks, if there is anything that I can do for you in a financial or in any other way, you have but to command me. and will give the same my personal and careful attention.

BOND OWNERS
 SHOULD CALL
 F0RPURCHASE

It is requested by the First Ma tional bank that all those who pur- chased bonds of the first, second and third Liberty Loans by cash payments call at the bank and se- cure their bonds.
 The bank has been holding the bonds for some time awaiting the arrival of the purchasers, but they are slow in coming in or making any statement regarding their prop erty, and this means is taken to notify the purchasers of the banks wishes. It is also requested by the officials of the bank that those living on the creeks and outlying districts who have invested and whose bonds are still in the possession of the bank either write or wire their wishes, whether the bank should send them their property or hold it subject to the purchasers orders.

 we shall stand. Till all wrongs haze been lisitud
 and peace is at hand. The pride of your young manhood
 bounded quick to the call. And the older will follow should the
 young perchance fall. For there's none dare insult you or

Some time ago the residents. of the upper Yukon were much agitated over the possible loss of their mail service from Eagle to the Fortymile district and from Eagle to Circle.
 Recent advices from the upper country state that the service will be continued during the next four years, a contract having been ward ed for that purpose. the only change made being that of once every two weeks instead of three times each month. The winter mail service be- tween Eagle and Circle has been restored on a one trip month basis.
 To Delegate Sulzer the residents of the sections mentioned give all credit, as it was by hls intercession that the service was not curtailed in its entirety.

pAnSCu uuucI SudIu. I1c ucuVcIcu a farewell address to his soldiers who
 listened unresponsively and, at its conclusion, sang the Marseillaise.
 Nicholas seemed to be stunned by the suddenness of the blow and made no attempt to resist. He rejected the suggestion of one of his generals that the Russian lines be opened to let the Germans pass through and deal with the canaille in Petro- grad," declaring that he was no traitor. He expressed the hope that he might be permitted to live at his palace at Livadia, in the Crimea, where he loved to stroll with the empress among the flowers and woods. Instead he was taken a prisoner to the Petrograd palace where the other members of the former imperial family had gathered to share his imprisonment. At first the former emperor was not closely confined but was allowed to walk in the garden twice a day under a guard of soldiers. His chief occupa- tiOn in the first weeks of his inn prisonment was in shovelling snow on the garden walks. He seemed to be in good health, displayed interest in what the foreign newspapers printed about him but was said to have periods of crying.
 His state as prisoner must have been in painful contrast with that which he enjoyed as Russian auto crat. His private wealth had been estimated at $2,OOO,0 100000, but it was confessed that no accurate idea of it's vastness was obtainable. His income was believed to exceed $50,0O0,000 a year. His personal expenses were placed at $50 day, but the expense of maintaining the royal state were almost incredible
 When emperor he was classed as the most wealthy man in the world. He owned several of the worlds most beautiful palaces and possessed a great fortune in diamonds, pearls and other jewels and precious stones. He owned, it was said, more than million square miles of cultivated land and forests. One-third of the output of Russia's gold and silver mines was believed to be included in his income. At Petrograa he was housed magnificently in the colossal Winter Palace but at times the i'm peria] family resided in some of the other magnificent establishments or chateaus where he and the empress loved to hold court. It was reported that he gave $10O,OOO,OOO from his private treasury to Russia's war fund.
 In appearance Nicholas was rather slender and undersized and, being sensitive on that point, usually Oc- cupied the foreground when photo graph was being made so that his size would be exaggerated. His re- semblance to King George of Eng land was often remarked. He was blond and wore full brown beard. Having no desire for ostentation, he avoided crowds and pomp when pos sible and carried no airs or busters. Although as emperor he was head of the orthodox Greek church, both he and his wife were reported to have been Spiritualists, and it was said that he often consulted mediums some of whom obtained considerable influence over him. His outdoor pleasures were a mild sort such as boating, cycling, sketching, or play ing tennis, of which game he was very fond.

LIBERTY HERE: WILLWORKFOR
 THE RED CROSS

Arriving on the steamer Alaska was the rooster Liberty who has been working for the Red Cross in the interior of Alaska. The bird has been provided with commodious travelling quarters and is very com fortable while enroute on his intiner- ary of duty.
 The idea of using the fowl for the purpose of raising funds for the Red Cross body originated with Thomas Devane, the Ruby live wire. Since he entered the field Liberty has ap- peared at the principal towns of the interior and has done good work for the cause in which he is enlisted.
 At Ruby on April 25, where he was first put up for railing, he brought $80. He was also put up at the following places on the dates named:
 Poorman, May 4 ............$ 5000 Long, May II ............... 63.00 Tanana, June 21 ............ 121.0O Nenana, July ............. 148.OO
 Total, including Ruby ...$462. .OO
 Liberty has been consigned to Fairbanks in care of John A. Clark, who will provide caretaker for him, and at some future date the bird will be put up for auction to become the property of the highest bidder, who, in turn, is expected to donate it to the cause. After mak- ing the rounds in Fairbanks and vii cinity he will be sent to some other Alaskan town to be disposed of in the same way as previously.
 Liberty was donated to the cause by Mrs. Horner, of Horner's Hot Springs, and has attracted consid- erable attention. He S a large bird of Rhode Island breed and has the appearance of being scrapper, which attribute, since he is on a peaceful mission, has never been tested out.
