U. s. BOYS
 KNOW NO FEAR

Americans can hardly be blamed for feeling the greatest satisfaction, not only in. the successive victories over the Germans, but particularly in the part that American troops have taken in that fighting. These men-most of them year ago untrained in the art of war-have shown power and a kind of naive competence in this warfare that has elicited the praise not only of their own officers, but fo the French; and that is the highest praise that soldiers can receive.
 An incident sent to us by friend illustrates what these American sol. diers have contributed to the fighting forces there between Soissons and Rheims. Knowing a dab of French this friend who is a member of an engineer corps at the front, writes: q asked little gamin the other day what he thought of the "soldats Amer cains." He scratched his head, "They are very brave and very drole," he said, thoughtfully; then with an in- imitable laugh q wish I could re- member his French, "but oh, what

fools! Tell them to take trench and they take three.!"
 Of course our casualty lists have begun to mount. Up to short time s.go the total casualties suffered by the Americans from the beginning of the war barely equaled the number suffered by the British in week. Now our turn is coming. We must prepare our minds and hearts for it. Many mothers and fathers will find their anxieties growing acute or turn ing into sorrow There is no doubt what the effect will be upon us all. It will be to make our cause seem more hallowed, make our wills more determined to see this fight through and make our determination more inflexible that there can be no peace ever arranged with a power whose re- ligion is that of Odin and whose ne- cessity or greed knows no law. Ev- cry American that dies in our fighting forces in France or elsewhere is a new lesson of the penalty that we are suffering for letting such power grow in the world, and therefore a lesson we must never let it continue

It was not until these 40 men had died that we got any better treatment. Turing that time some men were found frozen in their beds. When men took their socks off thier toes came away owing to frost bite. Our work necessitated our ben!g in the most exposed portions of the German lines, and many were wounded by Russian snipers.
 We were later transferred to town in East Prussia. where I saw Ruman. ian prisoners who were eating grass and drinking water out of ditches There were as many as 40 deaths a day among them.

One of the customs of that section
particularly noted by these gentlemen
was the numbers of women working in

pleasant dreams to both Of them, and
each repeated softly to thu other in
the whispering voice of the pines:
"Let the women do the work. do the

 The Mayor absolutely refused to say whether there would be any changes in the present personnel of the city offices. He said the ap- pointments or re-appointments would be announced when they were offic- ially made by the members of the council.

PREPARING
 FOR THE THIRD
 LIBERTY LOAN

The banks are preparing to han dle the subscriptions for the Third Liberty Loan which will begin on Saturday throughout the United States. Several persons have eX- pressed themselves as being anxious to be among the first subscribers to the Third Liberty Loan in Alaska and there will likely be a race when the banks open on that day.
 Owing to the fact that Alaska is somewhat isolated, it is not expected the loan will get in full swing as early as is made possible in many of the States. However, despite the constant and growing pressure of war needs, there is every indication that Alaskans will meet this call as promptly and periodically as they have met previous needs. Their lib erality and patriotism have been re- marked in the press outside and from government sources.
