NEW VERSION OF
 SPARKS MATTE

Yesterday morning The Republican. upon information furnished by a friend of r. k. Starks, ran a story that the member of the International Bible Stu dents had answered his critics, who had questioned his war stand, by show ing his loyalty and enlisting. In con- trast to this claim is the following, vouched for by the secretary of the local board and others:
 Claiming that he was not a citizen of the United States because he be- longed to the Kingdom of Heaven, P. R. Starks was taken before the local board, found that his claim was not correct, because his mortal body came from the United States, and taken un- der guard to Camp Cody, New Mexico, where he will scrub out.
 Sparks, arrested some time ago and placed under federal bond for circu- lating Pastor Russell literature, ob- 1ected to by the government as sed- tious. was investigated. He had sworn that he was a minister of the Gospel in his questionnaire. and in conse- quence was placed in Class D-5. with the other preachers. According to the local board. Sparks is not and never was a minister of tho Gospel. When Inc alleged deception was discovered, he was arrested again and taken before the local board. There he said that, while not an alien. he was not citizen of the United States. Asked why, he replied: T belong to the kingdom of heaven and I do not have to fight" It was decided by the board that sparks would not necessarily have to fight, and he was sent to Camp Cody.

AS BUY, RAN AWAY ID
 WAR; NOW HE ENL|STS

Briggs Goodrich, who ran away from home at 15 to fight for his country. has for the second time in his life offered his services to his government.
 Mrs. Clark Churchill yesterday re- ceived word that Mir Goodrich had enlisted in tho intelligence depart ment. He has closed all his business affairs in Detroit and is prepared to take over his new duties at once.
 At the outbreak of the Spanish American war. when Goodrich had not yet reached his sixteenth birth day, he joined the army. He was taken as far as Tampa. Florida, where he learned that he was to be left behind because of his youth. Making his way to one of the trans ports. he concealed himself and re- mained in hiding until he felt as- sured that he would not be returned 10 this country. Colonel Roosevelt, upon hearing the story. tapped the boy on the shoulder, declaring that more like him were needed in this country. Before the close of the war the Colonel had occasion to repeat the compliment.

KELVIN RAISED HER
 QUOTA FOUR TIMES

RAY JUNCTION, May 3O.-Kelvin proclaims her right to a place on the map of Arizona. Beginning with the second war drive, the central chapter of the Red Cross of Arizona asked Kelvin to raise s250 as her share of the total amount allotted to this state. Kelvin not only did as she was asked, but raised her quota four times. mak- ing $1,000 to her credit. Kelvin be- lieves that this record has not been beaten during the recent Red Cross drive by any hamlet in the country of equal size.
 Much credit for the splendid re- suit is due the war drive committee which consisted of T. R. Duncan, chairman: J. J. Lipford, secretary; T. B. Barowdale. treasurer; Mrs. E. V. Stevenson. Joe Bryant, Dick Smith and J. H. Zellweger. Their efforts were tireless during the strenuous week.

The Amryif0a-Rf7vlM of Bel lingham, Wash, of the issue of February 12, published the nup- tials of Freddie F.Lewis of Wran- gell and Miss Everybody in town knows who) also of Wrangell. The wedding occurred in the court house at Bellingham at 11:30 a. m. on Monday, Feb. II (The bride was visiting friends on Puget Sound which accouts for the wedding having taken place Outside, and unexpectedly to members of her own family. ) Freddie F. Lewis is the second son of MT. and Mrs. Wm. H. Lewis, a respected family of Wrangell who have lived here many years, Mir. Lewis having been born in this vicinity. Freddie Lewis has grown up in Wraneell and has a host of friends both old and young, but the young ones are temporarily "sore" on him because he is too far away to have his connubial bliss disturbed by their tin can poundings and other equally hid eous forms of nocturnal annoy. ance. Freddie's marriage is re- ported to be the outcome of a romance that had it's beginning in Wrangell five years ago when the brice was only twelve years of age. A stereotyped phrase often used in connection with a marriage is to say that it is the

GIVE EACH CHILD
 SOMETHING TO DO

Here is. a suggestion for a saving plan for the household one that is tangible and easy to follow. Let parents organize their tots into home War Savings Groups so that the children can earn their pennies and not have them donated to them by keep. ing their rooms in order, doing the dishes, running errands, dusting, etc.
 By earning their pennies in some definite and regular man. ner and then purchasing Thrift Stamps with them, children will gain in the spirit of self-denial, they will become conscious of rendering a real service to their Government and the habits of Thrift thus formed will prove helpful to them as long as they live.

 He was a man of learning, probably over sixty years of age. In his early life be was publisher of an influential newspaper in Halifax. While following jour- nalism he took an active interest in politics and was a lieutenant of Sir Robert Borden, the present Canadian premier. And it may be that Borden would not be where he is today had it not been for Dixon's support at time when his support meant a great deal.
 Mir. Dixon fought with the ex- petition which put down the last Louis Riel rebellion which oc- cured in 1885, and came out with the rank of colonel. He al- so received a medal for his bra very.
 Mir. Dixon had been in the Cassiar for many years. He was for a time a factor for the Hud- sons Bay Company, and was also interested in various mining projects. He was one of three parties who sold the Devils FL bow property to its present owners.
 MT. Dixon was a man with depth of intellect and strength of character. He had many strong friends. Last week when it was learned at Telegraph Creek that MT. Dixon had rot reached Prince Rupert J. Frank Call breath and Dr. Rice both sent telegrams to Mir. Bronson asking that a party be sent to Boundary at once, regardless of expense, to ascertain what was the mat ter. However, MT. Bronson had sent out party before the tele- grams were received.

SSliSe OeIslSe heSulduOnS pre- supposed the fact that the order numbers had been determined under the old regulations, as Form 102 is the official form for listing the order numbers as de- termined hereunder. But the order numbers having not been assigned in Alaska, at the time the new regulations became effective, there was no course left open for the boards in the Territory except to determine the order numbers by comparison of the serial number list with the Master List, as provided in part II and S. ctions 6S and 69 of the new regulations.
 This assignment of numbers takes the place of the formal drawing under the old regula- tions, the list compiled from the orit inal drawing held at Wash ington being deemed to be equiv- alent to a ge neral drawing of all numbers corresponding herewith in the possession of every board throughout the United States. The order in which these num- bers were drawn. together with the class number of the regis trant, determines the order in which each man is required to report for mil tary duty.
 By way of illustration. sup posing that the registrant who holds the first number drawn is classified, when his Guestionaire is returned in Class 1, he will be the first man called by his board for military duty, and supposing that the second registrant whose number was drawn by the same b. ard, being Order No. 2, is classified in Class 2 when his questionaire is returned. the board would skip over him when it calls its quota for service, and call the next number classified in Class 1. In this way, all regis trants in Class 1 will be called and examined as to their classifi- cations for military service, be- fore any of the registrants in Class 2 are called. Then all of the registrants in Class ? would be called in the order in which their numbers appear on the or der number list, before those in Class 3 are called, and so on, un- til Class 5 is reached which is a permanent deferred classitica- ton, being equivalent to per manent exemption or discharge.
 Tn other words the group of registrants within the jurisdic- tion of each local board is taken to be the unit to be classified. Within each class the order of liability is determined by the drawing, the order number being the distinguishing mark which identifies each registrant for ser vice in the same classification. while those of the lowest classi- fcations are called first and those of the higher classifications called in the order in which they are reached after all preceding classi- fcations are exhausted.

 "God a Person. This sounds like very unimportant subject, but is it? As a man believes, so he does. Some make him a great first cause, who Blew on the Abyss" and then went off and left the world in charge of lot of little gods called natural laws. Others make him magic. Still others make him a sort of an ether of which everything is a part. The Christian idea is that God is a person.
