ALASKA WOMAN
 ALONE IN CROWD

San Antonio, Tex, Light: Recently there arrived in New York City from the interior of Alaska little Amer ican woman named Mrs. Ida Lilly, who had gone to the gold country dozen years ago and who had lived there most of the time since in little cabin several weeks travel by dog sledge from the nearest seaport. She was asked by & newspaper reporter what her first impression of New York was, and she said:
 II have lived for months and months in the winter bound camps Of Alaska once I spent six weeks absolutely alone on storm bound island off the Alaskan coast and subsisted on what game 1 could trap; I have been showed In when the snow was sixty feet deep and I had to dig my way out with shovel, but I have never been as lonesome ln my life as in New York City. This is the lonesomest spot on earth to me-
 It might strike person as amusing that anyone would use the word "lone- some" to describe such place as New York City, but to any one who has lived much in isolated regions it is we'll knowu that lofty mountains, deep, clear rivers, great forest trees, moss-covered rocks, and doubtless, too, the great wastes of snow and ice-hillocks of the far north take on a companlonshlp which is sorely missed at the parting.
 And it is true, too, that there IS no lonelier feeling in all the wide world then 10 be set down in great city without knowing a single soul and watch the crowds go by. To a stranger far from home and friends, far from familiar environments and customary scenes, the feeling of utter desolation that can come when the first electric lights of strange city begin to gllm- mer, is past description and can only be realized by experience.
 There is nothing colder than cold heart and there is no greater loneliness in the world than for a person accus- toned to solitude and isolation to be hurriedly swept along in a crowd of a city's street.

RED GROSS FUNDS

In last weeks issue of The Pioneer it was announced that the local Red Cross had $l,000 in hand ready to remit. Upon figuring this all up it was found to be Sl,Ol5.50 which was prepared for remittance on May 3l to be followed on Monday by $4OO more, making grand total sent out to date from this District Chapter of $5, 7S4 p.
 This is good work, but there is no end to the legitimate demands of the Red Cross work, and our efferts should be continued indefinitely, and MUST be maintained at high speed for the dura- tiOn of this war.

Adjt. Cen. Henry P. Mccain has issued
the following circular letter:
"The large number Of applications
received from parents and guardians
for the discharge Of minors under 10
years Of age, inclosing satisfactory
evidence that the. soldier is under age,
indicates the necessity Of more care on
the part Of recruiting officers in. order
to avoid unnecessary expense to the
Government and annoyance to troops
in the field in the subsequent discharge
Of such men, and to- avoid placing a
blot for life on the record Of a boy
whose offense Of misstatement of his
age arises usually from a patriotic de-
sire to serve his country.
Hereafter no applicant under the
registration age will be accepted OF
enlisted until he has proven to the
complete satisfaction Of the recruiting
officer that he has reached the age OF
10 years. The proof required will be
(a) birth certificate, baptismal record,
or school certificate, or, in case (a)>is
not available, .(b) affidavit of parent
or Of guardian with legal evidence ot
guardianship"
