volunteer Institution. My question
is, II the American Red Cross,
through its bureau of communica-
tion, has any information concern
ing this young man, why hasn't the
War Department? The War Depart
ment has the first responsibility to-
ward our soldiers, and the parents OF
the enlisted men are looking to the
War Department for Information, and
not to the American Red Cross.
1t seems to me that the answer
from the adjutant general to you
should be exploited in every paper In
the country. If there is any efficiency
in the adjutant generals office, and
If there is any humanity in the whole
department, let them show 1t by fol-
lowing up the details of this case
and give the family later information
than July last. I remain,
Very sincerely yours.
HARRY A. MACKEY.

YOUR letter of December 10 and to
advise that the latest report received

For further information concern

JUNEAU WEATHER IS
 BEHAVING ITSELF AND

For the past three weeks the weather reporter has been aching to say some thing about the weath- CT.
 Following the Taku came a streak of Banana Belt weather, :" which called for something nice to be said. But the other members of The Empire staff theatened to mob the weather reporter if he even whispered it out loud. They said that everytime he said something nice about the weather then usual ly the next day Cor the same eve ning) a Taku cold blast or gale or something happened, and to let well enough alone.
 However, expression can be de- nied no longer. The weather re porter is willing to accept the con- sequences. The good, old rain for pthe past two days, following the mild spell shows that Juneau is again normal. The only reminders of the bad spell' are the great banks of snow still piled near the sidewalks, but the rain is cutting the snow like fun and making lots of nice little puddles into which people can step over their shoe tops.
