 The great lesson of the is that the power that hits first has tremendous advantage.

THE COLLEGES IN WAR TIMES

Cornell University has decided to close four weeks earlier next Spring. It predicted that many colleges will take similar action. This will release body of capable young men who will be available for the various forms of work It will help to- wards getting force of students at work on the farms in the planting season.
 No aspect of our national life go on unchanged during the war. We must adapt everything to this period of storm and danger the colleges to go on studying the classic humantes secluded cois ters for nine months in year while the world is on lire, makes them seem too much apart from life
 This does not mean that afford to close up our institutions of higher education To meet the worlds new needs, have the best trained men, both in technical equipment and in the world s books of wisdom. But the be cut a little for this emergency without loss An instruc tor can concentrate the rpeness of his knowledge and philosophy into eight months as nine It would be good policy to go bit farther and make very brief holiday and spring to close in the spring at the earliest possible time

 He will thereby gain knowledge of fundamental acquaintance with the great working democracy He will learn how to meet and get along with all types of people He will go back his books with a comprehension of common life that will give his learning very human touch.

UNFAIR DISCRIMINATION
Fairbanks Citizen)

The action taken by the Governor in counter mandng the order permitting voluntary enlistment by registrants insofar the order the interior Of Alaska is rank discrimination such is being keeny felt by all local citizens. There is reason to believe that it will be regarded with favor by any of the districts which it affects
 In more ways than one it is calculated to work hardship on the men who desire to enter the milf tary service of the country Out of number which already have applied for enlistment locally several persons have already made all arrangements to go Personal effects have been disposed of at a great sacrifice and everything arranged for. If the coun termand1ng order was based a governmental need these personal sacrifices should most assuredy would, be stood without murmer but so far as IS known It IS caused merely by the desire save few dollars
 Fairbanks has done her very best in all war work wnlch mas been undertaken by the Government The whole of the Interior of Alaska has not been behind falrnanks in anything. It is than right and Just that the boys who now want enlist and fight TOT the cause of humanity under the Flag of their country should be given the opportunity which IS neng offered to the other of Alaska and the enre country even if it does few more dollars to give it to them.

Republicans Discuss
Soldier Registration
at Rushuille Meeting

Methods Of obtaining the votes of
soldiers who are at cantonments in
the United States, received the atten-
ton of the county chairmen and party
leaders at the district convention of
Republican workers held Wednesday
afternoon at Rushville.
Each county is to settle it's own
problems with regard to registering
and voting the soldiers. The best
time for obtaining the registration
presented some difficulties, and raised
difference Of opinion
L. S. Bowman, Republican county
chairman, in discussing solution OF
the problem for Wayne county, stated
that he believed time and a great deal
OF difficulty would be saved by wait
ing until the first OF September to
register the soldiers.
They will be moved several times
between the first of April and time to
vote, in all probability" he said; "ii
we go to work now and get their ad.
dresses for registration, by the time
voting day comes we will have to dc
it all over again. We have to remem
Der that the soldiers are transient
population"
There are between 500 and 60C
Wayne county men in service at the
present time, and it is estimated that
by the first of September several hun,
dred more will be added to the list.

No narrative of heroic charge in
