1.-THE law which prohibits the sale
Of liquor to any man in uniform is a
good one; but today armies are not
fighting armies-nations are fighting
nations. Why put all the sacrifice up
on the soldier and the sailor? Let us
now have law which will prohibit the
sale Of liquor to any man in civilian
clothes. The man who Is selected to
go must spill his blood for victory; let
the man who is selected to stay at least
spill his beer for the soldier"

II do not believe that Il ever held
much respect for the prohibition move
ment until my visit to Seattle, where I
have had actual contact with a situa-
ton believe attributable to the alb
sence of Saloons" says Mr.. Love, state
harbor commissioner Of California.
'"The reason say this is that found
every dock in Seattle active, none of
the foremen complaining Of the inabil-
ity to get men to work. 1t is very diff
ferent in San Francisco, where they
have to hustle up help from the vari-
GUS saloons, and If the men have any
money left you cannot drag them
away from the bars. I also note that
most of Seattle's longshoremen appear
prosperous, and so are their families.
I readily see where Seattle's water
borne commerce is eclipsing San Fran
cisco's. 1t has wonderful docking ia
cilities, and cargoes are handled ex-
peditiously, and that is what counts.

Thrift Stamps.

1t is pointed out by the treasury de-
partment that thrift stamps are not
made redeemable in cash for the reason
that these stamps are simply intended
as convenient .method for the small
savers to accumulate enough to pur-
chase war savings stamps, which bear
interest and are redeemable in cash.
In addition, to provide for redemp-
ton for these thrift stamps would in
volve such an amount of detailed ac-
counting and labor and expense as to
impair the practicability of their use.
In fact, they would be more trouble and
expense to the government possibly than
they are worth.

tion which is saving the lives of thousands daily and bringing light and comfort to the sorely wounded while it heals their torn and broken bodies.
 This work can only be carried on as long as there is public support. It is dependent upon its members for it's existence The port given it, the greater is its scope of ac- tivities.
 As much as the American Red Cross so- ciety has been expanded since the war began, and especially since the United States en- tered the conflict, it must grow even more in order to keep pace with the growing needs of American armies. Every day brings more and more American soldiers on the firing line Every month sees additional thousands of men added to the large number already train ing for service at the front
 As the fighting develops, our lists of casualties grow larger and hospitals more crowded. The Red Cross establishment must be enlarged ahead of the need for it. When the need comes, it must be prepared to fill it. To wait until such time arrives to begin preparing for it would mean thousands of lives needlessly wasted, sacrificed to no good end.
 To get ready for what must inevitably come. the American Red Cross society is again opening a campaign for new members, for subscriptions to provide the organization witl, funds to look after our own boys when they shall be stricken by the shells of the enemy. The local campaign is beginning now. The local district has been asked to secure not less than S8,OOO for its contribution. This is the minimum; there is no limit placed on the amount we can subscribe if we desire to do so
 The campaign committee is busy starting the wheels of the drive in motion. There is not the slightest doubt that the S8,0OO will be subscribed, and by lining up solidly be- hind the committee and unity of effort, the district can go over the top with a big oversubscription. Let's make little extra effort and break all previous records. There is need for every dollar which can possibly be raised. Don't hold back.

after themselves as we'll as soldiers of any other army.
 The conduct of our troops where they have taken their places on the western front shows this conclusively. There was nothing surprising in this fact, since it only confirmed our first beliefs, but it was none the less grati- flying for all that, in fact, probably more so.
 We are glad that the Londoners had an opportunity to see these men; it will hearten them to know that American aid is in tangible form and will soon be available in strength sufficient to fill the much needed wants of the allies. The British can not but be encour- aged to realize that there are million and more of men of the same calibre of those passing through their capital getting ready il, camps throughout the United States who will cross as rapidly as ships can be provided.

U-boat campaign increases each month. This holds our promise to the allies of better news later on.
 The statement made yesterday by the French minister of marine, M. Leygues that the number of submarines sunk during the last month by allied patrol ships was greater than Germany could possibly have built is particularly encouraging. If this rate can be kept up, and there is no reason why not, since larger patrols are commissioned every week, the end of the present summer may well see the promise fulfilled made by Sir Eric Geddes, that the submarine menace would be we'll in hand before next winter sets in.
 The construction of great numbers of sub marine chasers of proven ability is being car ried on both in England and America. It is true that this class of construction cuts down the construction of merchant vessels, but this inconvenience must be endured until enough vessels for the patrol to be thoroughly eff cient have been supplied
 It is plain that the solution of the sub marine problem lies in ship construction. Mer- chant vessels to replace those lost and de- stroyers and other chasers to strafe the Hun undersea boats. As the rate of submarines destroyed increases, the percentage of mer- chant vessels lost is bound to decrease. And the most hopeful sign of the submarine cam paign is the fact that the allied and Ameri- can fleets are now sinking more U-boats each month than Germany can replace with new construction.

AS OTHERS SEE US

It is but natural that to Americans the boys fighting under the Stars and Stripes should be seen as the most nearly perfect specimens of soldiery the world has ever known. This is the spirit in which America has always viewed its soldiers and sailors
 As firmly as we may be convnced that we are justified in this high opinion, it is nevertheless gratifying to every American to know that our boys are making the same impression abroad. The praise bestowed upon the body of men passing through London last Saturday is not meaningless cant, drivel put out to flatter Americans, but is sincere trib- ute to the appearance made by the Yankees enroute to France to meet and help stop the Hun tide
 All Ot these men are new to military life and training. Less than a'year ago the over waelming majority of them had never known 2 Jay of military experience. Leaving Am er;tan training camps, with their full course probably not completed, they are yet able to create admiration in Great Britain where mil lions Of fighting men have been seen during the past three and a half years, and they more than hold their own Equal in physique and morale of the very finest troops raised by any 1o,lntry at time when European man-power stood at its highest point," says one English newspaper.

MEMORIAL DAY

For the past few years, Memorial Day has not been so generally observed locally as the occasion deserves We have been too much occupied with the affairs of the living to show the honor which is due the dead
 Now this is not state of affairs which exists i'll Fairbanks alone, or one that is pc culiar to any one state or community. It is deplorably true that it prevails in nearly all towns of comparatively small population.
 The President on Saturday issued proc lamation asking the people of the entire na- tion to join in the observance of this day. and has outlined the manner in which it may be most httingly done. It rests with the peo- pie to say whether or not it can and will be done
 It is only two weeks until May 30, the day set aside for the honor of Americas dead who have given their lives for their country in this and other wars. During these two short weeks, thousands of young Americans may join the noble band of men already en- rolled on Americas list of patriotic dead The passing of these, and their memory as we'll as the memory of the dead in other wars, should not be unnoticed.
 In the two weeks to pass before the day arrives, there should be plans made for a fitting celebration. The town should get to- gether on this and make the occasion one in which every citizen of the camp and district can have a share.
The weekly Alaska citizen., 1918-05-20
MERGING TROOPS

Further details of the allied plan for CO., operation and unity of command show that there is to be no distinction made in the troops of any nation. Troops of all nations will be utilized to the best possible advantage without regard for nationality and, while the entire body of forces will be under command |of General Foch, where any one nations forces predominate the organizations will be under direct command of the commander-in chief of the predominating forces.
 This is indicated by the announcement made yesterday that wherever American fore es constitute the major portion of any army, that army will be commanded by American officers This is further confirmed by the ad- ditional statement that General Pershing will also have command of both French and Brit ish forces.
 It is not believed to indicate that Ameri- can sectors on the southeastern end of the battlefront will be reinforced by British and French detachments, but that American forces in northern France are increasing so rapidly that in some sectors, and in certain tactical organizations, they will outnumber forces of other nationalities forming integral parts of the same organizations In this case, these armies will be under the leadership of Am erican officers and the command of General Pershing.
 This is apparently a we'll balanced sys- tenn of coordination and should prove equally agreeable to all nations. It is but natural that every nation should desire to see its own troops held as intact as can be done and at the same time unite the allied forces into a cohesive fighting force with unlimited free dom of troop concentration at any desired point. This has apparently been done with out infringing upon the recognized rights of any country.
