to the Secretary of War, although
dated April %, 1918, has iusf been
made public, since the prosecution
and conviction of the offending the.

The letter to Mr. Scott follows:
Headquarters 92nd Division.

MIR. Emmett j. Scott, War Dept,
Washington, D. c.:
My Dear Mr.. Scott: have, your re-
quest that | make a brief statement
relative to Bulletin No. So, these
Headquarters. There seems to be no
good reason why l should not do So
Here are the preliminary facts:
A soldier of this Division got into
trouble with theater manager at
Manhattan and reported it to me. |
at once ordered an investigation
placed the facts before the Division
Judge Advocate and was informed
/ by him that the theater manager had
violated the law. | then put the case
in the hands of the United States
Attorney and requested the prosecu-
ton of the theater manager. The
case was set for April 23rd. | then
issued Bulletin No. So, which, in
brief, is counsel to my soldiers to
avoid race troubles. This Bulletin
was given out to the colored press
of the country, accompanied by an
entirely misleading letter that not
only completely suppressed all men,
ton of any prosecution of the theater
manager, but directly and falsely
conveyed the impression to editors
and readers that I had not done so.
The most prejudiced person will,
think at once see this was a mali
cious attempt to stir up race feeling
by misrepresentation.

WOMEN ARE NOW
 ORGANIZED FOR
 ECONOMIC WORK

In response to the call issued by Mrs. Luther c. Hess to all the wo- men of Fairbanks to meet at the commissioners court room yesterday afternoon for the purpose of orga- nizing a Woman's Council of De- fense for this district, the response was such that the place of meeting could not accommodate those attend ing, so the meeting was held in the district court room.
 Acting as temporary chairman, Mrs. Hess called the meeting to or der and explained the object of the call. The nomination and election of officers was next in order, and re- suited in the following being elected to fill the working offices of the organization:
 President, Mrs. Harry Pratt; vice president, Mrs. Robert Geis; secre- tary, Miss H. A. Mirick; chairman membership committee, Mrs. E. A. Suter; chairman garden committee, Mrs. Rae B. Carter; chairman can. ming committee. Mrs. Claude Kelly, chairman publicity committee. Mrs. Chas. Beam
 The chairmen of the different com. mittees are requested to appoint the balance of the members comprising the committees in order that publi. cation of them may be made The publicity committee, of which Mrs. Beam is chairman, is composed of the following: Mrs. Caskey, Mrs. w. F. Thompson and Mrs. John Gross.
 The committee as whole will hold another meeting at some date in the near future and outline the work to be done for the season.

TAG DAY WILL
 BE TOMORR0W;; MONEY TOFUND

Tomorrow will see the starting of the active work in the Red Cross drive. The first feature will be the tagging of every man, woman and child in Fairbanks who has the time and the inclination to stop long enough to receive tag and pay the price therefore. which has been fixed at fifty cents per tag.
 The members of Igloo No. 3, Pio- neer Women of Alaska, will have complete charge of the drive. A special meeting of the Igloo was held last night to discuss the pro- gram of the drive, and all members pledged themselves to take part in it. With the strong support accorded the committee by the women, it is certain that large sum will be raised from this source alone. It is the intention of the members of Igloo No. 3 to put one tag on every one and as many more as the indi- vidual is able to carry, financially or otherwise.
 The Fairbanks Cigar store will be the distributing center for the tags, and as soon as the ladies have sold out. new supply can be had there from Mrs. Rae Carter, who will be on duty all day long at that place, the proprietors. Hoyt & Kelly, hav- ing generously granted the use of their establishment for the purpose. The drive will start at 10 o'clock in the morning and continue until the supply of tags has been ex- hausted, which is not excessively large, being apportioned to its part of the quota. It is now up to all patriotic citizens to salt away few halves in their vest pockets to have them handy and to play no favor ites--buy from all alike.

 AlRPLANE FALLS
 PARIS, May 18.-A German air plane made an effort to lombard this city last night, but failed to get within the limits of the town. For the past few weeks the airmen of the Huns have had no success in dropping bombs in the city. The at- tempt last night failed through the attacking plane being driven of by French airmen. The German was sighted as he neared the city and the French aviators immediately rose to meet him. It took but few mo- ments to drive the Hun away from the vicinity of the town.

much larger attendance. Several papers were read, each devoted to some form of conservation. The last number was an article on sugar. The author, Mrs. Cambridge, had prepared an excellent article that handled the subject from every side. satisfactorily. historically, generally and locally. As each speaker de- livered her selection she took lit tie rap at sugar-its waste. it's need, the amount saved if the rules were obeyed, throwing in few statistics. etc. AS each lady read her article and came to that particular part. the face of our librarian was study. as she saw her thunder stolen by her colleagues. For so important is the subject that not an essay could be prepared without at least one paragraph about sugar. Had the finishing number of the program been pruned as each preceding arti- cle was read it would have been a mere treatise on the origin and man. ufacture of sugar from the earliest period to the present time. but the author realized the importance of her subject and wisely read the well written article, letting each point sink in, whether new or not.
 Her position was like that of the minister who was asked to make an oration at patriotic celebra- tion in country town. He was preceded by an orating country law yer as chairman and long winded deacon who offered prayer and culled all the Biblical patriotism into his efforts along with other red fire stuff, and when the main speaker was called there was not a feather in the eagles tail left for him to preen, so he said: Ladies and gen tlemen: Your chairman has stolen all of my patriotic thunder and your chaplain all of my religious fervor, so 1 will close the meeting with the Lords Prayer. after which the audi ence will rise and sink The Star Spangled Banner"

The hunt CTS looked around to see who was doing the subdued talking and dis covered that the speakers were in the small building used as ticket office by the park commission. A spirit of mischief took hold of one of the hunters and he remarked: q guess I will stick around here for a while; there ought to be some ducks coming in soon." The other re- marked that he was going home, as 1t was getting too cold to stay out. The one stuck, and about two in the daylight was rewarded by seeing the box office empty itself of the Ire ceipts," which went shivering toward town.

MODERN METHOD
 OF RANCHINC

Grant Courtnay, the Big Cinema rancher, is in town for few days purchasing supplies for use on the lanch he recently acquired. It is Mir. Courtnay's intention to raise much agricultural produce this sea- son and an abundance of native hay, which commands a good price in the interior.
 To facilitate his passage between Fairbanks and the ranch he has pur- chased the launch owned by Harry DeYoung and will use it for market ing his crops in Fairbanks. While the Outside farmer has his auto to go to town in, the Cinema rancher has not the advantage of paved high ways for travel and will use that provided by nature-the river.

ESTER IS VISITED BY THREATENING
 CONFEDERATION

About o'clock yesterday morning the residents of Ester were alarmed by seeing smoke and flames issuing from the building formerly occupied by barber shop, but which was be- ing used as a private home. An alarm was at once sounded, and all within hearing rushed to the scene of the fire. The efforts of the fire fighters proved unavailing. and it spread with startling rapidity, con- suming in its path the store building of Joe Mcdonald, the restaurant of Henry Shredder, the old California hotel building and the building in which it started.
 For a time it looked as if the en- tire town was doomed, but owing to strong southeast wind, the flames were held in the right di- rection and only the immediate build ings were destroyed. The entire stock of the McDonald store was saved only through the united ef- forts of the citizens of Ester. all of whom were engaged in saving the town from destruction. The restaur- ant plant of Henry Shroeder is a total loss. The part of the town burned is the north side, and had the wind been in any other direc- tion it is doubtful if any buildings would have been saved. The cause of the fire was attributed to an overheated and defective stovepipe.
 While the monetary loss can not be ascertained, the figure will not be exceedingly high, as the only great loss was in the value of the buildings. which, while costing a good sum to construct, were greatly depreciated in value.

BOY ORATOR IS
 GOOD SPEAKER; :. MUCH APPLAUSE

Whatever may be said of the chil' dren of Fairbanks, there is one thing that cannot be said, and that is that they are afraid to appear be- fore an audience. At Thorne's on Friday evening the four-minute speaker was Walter Douse, who, in spite of his youth Che is only seven) can deliver an address with all the forceful expression of an older per son and the rhetorical efficiency of an after-dinner speaker.
 Young Douses remarks, brief and to the point, were we'll received by he audience, and he was forced to make another appearance. The talk delivered by the young orator is herewith published

THE SOLDIER LIVES
 ON CIGARETTES

SEATTLE, April 30 (By MaiD.-- You folks should not hesitate moment to send cigarettes to your soldiers,' asserted Surgeon General George s. Ryerson of the Canadian army in talking to tho University of Washington students here recently.
 "The soldier lives on cigarettes" he continued. With his plain diet and living in the open air, cigarettes do not hurt him. Cigarettes are the biggest thing in his life
 The speaker said he had seen Canadian captains pass down the lines of wounded men on stretchers passing out cigarettes. He said it was impossible to picture how much the cigarettes meant to the men awaiting their turn to be taken to the hospital.

 The following is the program to be rendered at the concert: Part One
