ALIENS

There are enemy aliens and there are native aliens. The American who does not do his part toward winning the war, who neither fights nor works nor lends for victory is as much an alien to Americas prog ress as much an alien to Americas $ purposes and America's cause as the rankest Prussian interned in this country.
 This is a war of the peoples as we'll as of nations, and each indi- vidual has a place and a duty

SOLDIER INSURANCE

Secretary McAdoo has called upon all local draft boards to acquaint drafted men with the provisions of the soldier-insurance law and to urge every drafted man to take out this insurance. The boards have been furnished with literature to aid them in this educatioal work.
 The law affording insurance to our fighting forces has we'll been called the most just and humane provision ever made by nation for it's soldiers and sailors. The Government and the American people recognize the justice of af- fording this protection to the men who risk their lives for their coun- try and to their families and de- pendents that our fighting men avail themselves of this opportunity.
 Every American enlisting should take out this insurance and carry with him into danger the hearten- ing knowledge that whatevr happens, himself and his dependents are pro- tected by his Government.

MODERN WARFARE

In the old wars, reinforcing troops marched in the direction of the fir ing" Today, when a two-hundred mile front may be ablaze, the sound of the firing is too continuous and widespread to afford much indica- tion as to where the endorsements are required.
 In the ordinary way, writes correspondent of The Associated Press, relief in trenches are carried out according to carefully ar ranged time table and on a formal plan. The business of taking over" line of trenches from the outgoing battalion has long since been re- duced to an exact formula. But when the fighting is in open coun- try and the line only partially dug in, it is more difficult, and great care has to be exercised lest ad- vaneed patrols and contact sections blunder into the enemy's positions
 The reliefs are met by guides, usually men of their own battalion sent up previously to get familiar with the new positions. Even with this assistance it is often a difficult business. The relief takes place at night and in dark and ba' weather the way can be easily missed among the maze of strange trenches.
 When moving up to open fighting positions, it is harder still, for there are no trenches to give the direc- tion. The open line on which the days fighting comes to an end may run unevenly, perhaps along hedge row, a bit of wood, some ruined farm buildings, or undulations of the ground.
 Beyond this line lies an indeter mlnate area of No-Man's Land. Out there lie scouts and hidden snipers. Little groups of men, the "contact patrols of both sides, watch one another's positions ceaselessly for signs of attack or any movement that may betray the enemy's inten- tlons. Just before dawn these watchmen of the night come in and new men are posted.
 Each side of course is constantly on the lookout to harass incoming hostile reliefs. Therefore, complete silence and great caution must be observed. As a rule, movement up to or from an open line in daylight is impossible.
 Every evening reliefs are taking place somewhere along the battle line. and, in addition to the move ments of battalions and brigades. whole divisions are withdrawn at longer intervals, and have six weeks rest and training spell in areas some miles behind the front. These periods of rest however. are quite distinct from the usual rout- inc of reliefs.

JOSL|N MAKING PLANS ID OPEN
 UP NEW FIELDS

The development of the famous Boring river coal fields in Alaska on the biggest scale ever attempted in the North is about to be started, according to Falcon Joslin, promin- ent Alaska mining and railroad man, who stated in Seattle recently, upon his return from the East, that he had just obtained coal and land leases from the Government. The former Fairbanks railroad man has organized a company for that pur- pose, secured the necessary capital and he states that development work will begin at once.
 In order to get the coal to tide water he proposes to construct a railway from the mine to the Cop per River & Northwestern Railroad, sixty-five miles distant, to move the coal to tidewater at Cordova. The Government requires that S250,OOO be spent in development work under the lease.
 Mir. Joslin reports that this is the first lease to be granted in this district. The Federal grant consists of six leasing units, containing up- ward of 2,400 acres and covers what is known as the old English Company coal ground, lying in the western part of the field between Shepard creek and Lake Kushtaka. A considerable sum of money was spent on the development of the ground before the titles under the old law were cancelled. The lease is for fifty years.
 MT. Joslin reports that he has or ganized a company under the name of the Rering River Coal Company, of which he is president, to take over the lease. He says the com pany has secured the necessary capi- tai to develop the properties and that crew of men will be put to work immediately on the property. F. R. Van Camper, a we'll known Alaska mining man, will be appoint ed superintendent and recently left Seattle for Alaska to begin the work.
 While in the East, MT. Joslin also organized a company under the name of the Chilkat Oil Company to de- velop oil lands at Katalla, Alaska. He states that a drill crew was put on the ground in May and that drilling is proceeding with one we'll down at least 900 feet at last re- ports.
 Mir Joslin is personally supervis- ing the work on the two projects.
 The company's oil operations, ac- cording to Mr Joslin. are limited to one claim, to which title has been perfected. After the passage of the oil lease law, now before Congress. the company can enlarge it's opera tions materially.
 Speaking of the present status of the oil lease act, MT. Joslin stated that the measure had passed both houses, but in an entirely different form, and it was referred to con- ference committee, which had been working for two months on a meas ure. that would be acceptable to both houses. No action is expected until after the recess of Congress.

ENGLISH WOMEN
 MAKE BIG MONEY
 ON SHELL WORK

MANCHESTER, England. - The women of England are making the shells with which the British army is beating back the enemy, and are doing the work at an average pay equivalent to S10 a week.
 The managing director of a big naval construction works here is un- able to employ domestic servants because all the women formerly em- ployed as servants have gone to work in shell factories.
 When the factory men were called to the colors, women quietly stepped into their places. The vast majority of the women had neither skill nor training in munitions work, but the factory engineers by installing what is known as single-process machines made it possible for the women to do the complicated work that pre- viously only skilled men had been able to accomplish.
 In a week or ten days woman learns how to operate a single-pro- cess machine. She does her work efficiently and faithfully. Recently in one factory the women made 31,000 4.5 inch shells in Is weeks and not flaw could be found in any shell.
 Many of the women workers be- fore the war were operatives in plants for textile manufacture, the chief industry in this region. In peace time their wages averaged about the equivalent of five dollars week. Now the average is well over ten dollars, and in exceptional eases, fifteen and more.
 In some factories women work three shifts of eight hours each, rotating each week. Their em- ployers say that they are not af- fected by the strain of night work. A large number of the women are doing the hardest kind of manual work
 Piece work is the system used in most of the shell factories, and the managers say that the introduction of piece work increased the output to an amazing degree.
 Women" one of the managers commented, "are more competitive than men workers. Men will work up to certain point and stop, either because they are indifferent and easily satisfied with the amount of their earnings or because their mates would protest. On the other hand, women do not seem to care what their mates think or say. Each is out for herself" ----
 He pointed to a machine where Ia girl was working at a great rate of speed. That young woman," he went on, doubtless wants a new ribbon for her hair, and she is go- ing to make the shop pay for it."
 The minimum wage paid to wo- men in shell factories where the piecework system is in effect is about S7.50 a week, but unless a girl proves herself capable of mak- ing at least S9 a week, she is not regarded as good worker It is not uncommon for a particularly in telligent and energetic woman to draw each week from SIT to s2O.

ed at Nogales, has reached war
stangth.
The 35th is one of the units of

have been arriving to fill its
ranks are from the national
army, or in other words they are
drafted men, while the regulars
are volunteers.
Army men point out that the
filling in of the ranks of the

men is not usual, and this has
given additional cause for spe-
culation as to whether there is
any change in prospect for the

One hundred farm tractors
are among the items of an i'm

chinery which the Mexican gov
ernment is about to make in the
United States, to be sold to set
tiers on new lands in the states
OF Sonora and Sinaloa, at cost
and on exceedingly easy terms.

agriculture, who is now making
an inspection of the lands to be
thrown open to settlement, will
represent the Mexican govern
ment in making the purchase,
and it will include the latest
style of farming implements.

government to settle large
tracts in the two states named
with the best class of zcolonists
obtainable, allowing them to
purchase the land at a very low
price and on terms similar to the
homestead laws of the United
States.
The government will also en-
courage the settlers in many
other ways, furnishing them
seed and stock, and the plan TO

farm machinery is with the
idea of building up agricultural
communities that will be mod
ern in every respect.
