BRITISH TANK
 DRAWSCROWDS

In letter received in the last mail from a relative in Middles- brough, on the eastern coast of Eng land, Mrs. J. H. Caskey is given a very good description of one of the British tanks, which have proved such great factors in offensive ope- rations by the British in the war.
 In speaking of the tanks the let ter states that one was brought to Middlesbrough and placed on exhi- bition for the purpose of attracting the attention of the public to the necessity of a war loan. Immense crowds viewed the war machine, and enthusiasm was brought to such a pitch that in one day there was sub scribed the immense sum of one million pounds, and it was expected that the sum would reach three mil lion pounds before the week was out.
 The tank was strongly guarded by soldiers, and parade in which thousands of troops participated was held in honor of the tank. The letter bore the date of January 15, 1918.

DANCE TURNED
 GOOD SUM FOR
 THE YARNFUN

The Woman's Bureau of the Red Cross announces that $73 has been turned in to the yarn fund as the result of the very successful dance given by the Eagles in their hall Friday evening. Of this sum $34.50 was profit on gate receipts, and $38.50 the profit on the sale of fruit punch and cigarettes, sold by con- mittee of the Woman's Bureau con- posde of Mrs. Frank Durham, Mrs. Luther Schooling and Mrs. Gustave Beraud. These ladies were in Red Cross nurse costume, and made such an attactive picture that people could not help buying the good lemonade. These ladies say, however, that the credit is due to the Eagles them selves, who were so kind and help full in every way, and made every effort to make the yarn fund re- ceipts as large as possible.
 The materials for the punch were almost all donated, there being prac- tically no expense for all the good ingredients that went into it. The Woman's Bureau was delighted with the hospitality of the Eagles, and the tidy sum of $73 added to the yarn fund through their generosity will make glad many a soldier in France.

 ROLES DO WELL

At the Auditorium last night was produced "The Merchant of Venice Up to Date" by the high school stu dents of Fairbanks. A packed house greeted the youthful thespians oi the rise of the curtain, which was made promptly at the advertised hour, o'clock.
 The production was we'll given. All those taking part were drilled to the minute in handling their lines, and promptings were few. The stage fright" usual with those mak- ing their first appearance was notice ably lacking, the actors going through the piece like old stagers.
 The local hits were we'll made and received much applause. Taking the cast in it's entirety, it was well balanced. To make especial mention of any of the actors would be to discriminate, and to all must be given equal praise. Taking the bill ing of the cast. Boyd Herring, Ever ett Dilley and Edgar Seneff worked we'll together and received much ap- plause for their clever work. The portrayal of Shylock by Sigrid Rich ardson was good. Edna Lewis, in the comedy part, made a great hit, carrying out situations with a natur- alness that elicited roars of laugh ter. Wilma Carlson, as Portia, was splendid, as was Dorothea Johnson as Nerissa. Eva Delaney as Jessica was very good. Amante Tonseth as Mrs. Abbie Threedice sustained a good character part. The same may be said of Margaret Gillette as Mrs. Gobbo. Alton Nordale made an i'm posing judge. Ray Hamilton, Anita Nordale and Russell Bellerby in minor parts did equally as well for the opportunity offered.

NEWFOUNDLAND TO BE CALLED DOMINION FOR VAL0R OF MEN
 WHO ENLISTED FOR SERVICE

As reward for valor and for ser vice in the wolrd war, Newfound- land, England's oldest colony, recent ly received the title Dominion of Newfoundland" from the British gov ernment. According to British off cials and army officers in New York City, the change in name will not mean change in Newfoundland s already very liberal government. It shows that Britains oldest colony, often referred to by British writers as the Cinderella of England's prov inces," is by her own efforts and the bravery of her soldiers and sailors coming into her own.
 A native of Newfoundland, who is one of the most recent arrivals in New York City from that colony, said that out of her 250,7O7 popula- 'tion Newfoundland had given to the British infantry alone battalion of LOO men. He also said that New foundland's Forestry Brigade had at present 800 men, and that there were 2,500 men in Newfoundland's Nation al militia. This man spoke of the part the Newfoundlanders played in the Somme fighting. in which 900 of her men took part Of these, he said, only 95 survived. Word had reached St. Johns of the more re- cent activities of the Newfoundland troops in the Cambrai drive, in which he said there were heavy casualties among the troops of her colony.
 When asked regarding the part Newfoundland had played-the part which has won for her distinction awarded to- no other colony by the British government during the war Goeffry Butler, head of the British Official War Exhibits, with headquar- ters at 511 Fifth Avenue, said that the number of men Newfoundland had given to keep up her battalion of infantry at the front was close to 5000. Besides this, he quoted from an official report of the "Contribu- ti0ns of DominiOns and Colonies to the Common Cause," an official bulle- tin of June 1916, that as early as that date Newfoundland had con- tributed 1.500 naval reservists to the British navy"

every one of them Newfoundland born, were drilling at St. Johns, and by November were completing their training in the historic castle at Edinburgh. This work has been go- ing on from that day until the pres ent time.
 "The foremost advance on the Su- via Bay front, Donnelly's Post on Cariboo Ridge, was made by New foundlanders. It is called Donnelly's Post because it was here that Lieu tenant Donnelly Ca Newfoundlander) won his military cross. The hither- to nameless ridge from which the Turkish machine guns poured their concentrated death into our trenches stands as monument to the initia- tive of the Newfoundlanders. It is now called Cariboo Ridge, as an ac- nowledgment to the men who wear the deer's head badge, (Newfound- landers.)
 "The part played by the Newfound- flanders in the Great Push of July 1 is quite equal to anything performed by any of the troops that took part in that great forward movement. The Newfoundlanders were brigaded with the Eighth Army Corps, commanded by Lieut.-Gen. Sir Aylmer Hunter Weston, K. c. B., D. o. S. In July a letter was addressed to all the men who took part in the Great Push,' and it is one of the proudest posses sions of the Newfoundland troops who survived. Colonel Hunter-Wes- ton also sent a letter to the Premier of Newfoundland, in which he re- counted in detail the gallantry of the men of England's oldest colony"
 Except for almost incessant wrang- les between the British settlers and the French fishfolk, Newfoundland has had peaceful history. The peace of Utrecht in 1713, which sub. |sequeptly was ratified by the treaty of Paris. gave sole sovereignty of Newfoundland to England. with cer- tain rights granted to the French fishermen. France possessed two small islands, St. Pierre and Mique- lon. The fishers rights were definite ly settled as late as 1904. This re- moved instructions to local develop ment.
 The government of Newfoundland is similar to that of Canada, but the province is in no way connected with the government of the Dominion of Canada.

 PIGS GOING UP

Yesterday the marshaPs office was notified that a woman at Brooks by the name of Gertie Sheppard had been fined the sum of $1,0O0 by Commissioner H. J. Atwell for the illegal selling of liquor, which fine was paid in cash.
 The accused demanded jury trial It is evident from the verdict of the jury that illegal selling of liquor in the Tolovana is not countenanced by the residents of that district One noticeable thing about the fines imposed by Commissioner Atwell is that for each succeeding case the amount of the fine increases. The last fine imposed was the maximum without jail sentence.

and go home to Germany. Mer.. thought. Hardly.
 We have seen what the German agents will do; they did it before we entered the war and they would do it now if we backed out of the war. They would foment strikes, race riots, class prejudice. and stir up national resentments. Having gotten us out of the war against Germany they would try to get us into war with France, Italy or England. They would no longer be peace propogan- dists but war propogandists. because we would be unarmed and easy vic tins. They would create civil war if possible. They would use German money to throw us into the state poor Russia finds herself in today. Then Germany would strike defense less South America.
 It is my honest belief that Ger many has had for many years two alternative plans for conquest. From Berlin she has drawn two lines, one to the southeast through Saloniki and to the Orient, the other to the southwest through Spain to South America. She hoped England would do the Weber-Fields act and keep her hands down while German armies stunned France, and then she would leap on the Orient and grasp a vast dominion there. England did not keep her hands down. She is not entirely a fool. That plan failed. It seems hopeless now.
 The other plan Germany will try the moment she makes peace and gets her breath, if her agents can per suade us to keep our hands down. Americas Reason for War.
 don't like war and you don't like war We have every reason to be a peaceful people. We have vast terri tory. the most fruitful and produc- tive in the world. and warlike peo. pies have always been those living in barren lands or who have been cramped into scant quarters. It is never necessary to preach the doc Urine of peace to America, because the natural state of America is peace. America has not and never has gone to war except to avenge insults that have become unbearable or to pro- tect herself against marauders When the great, wise peace-loving American people declare war there is a reason for it, and a reason that affects the honor or the safety of the Nation l Germany has insulted and injured us in manner no decent people can stand. She has fiouted our rights and she continues to do so. She was a menace to our existence before the war began and she has become a greater menace with each day her troops have been in the field Her navy is practically intact; her people debt ridden. For half a century she has been the one warlike nation of the earth. What will Germany do if we keep our hands down when this war ends? What would you do if you were a war-like nation, careless of rights of others (see Belgium!) and craving territory? You would give a slap in the face to the fat fool with his hands down, and you would leap on South America and wrest from it the cost of the great European war.
 Germany is not our worst enemy With our fists up we can take care of Germany Our worst enemy is here. He is the man who asks us to put our hands down and stand like a silly sheep until Germany is ready to strike.
