YOU MUST GET
Fighting Mad
ONLY ATTITUDE TO TAKE TO
WIN THE WAR-PREACHER
MAY SAY ONLY DARN"

LAS wolves are to animals, sharks
to fishes, poisonous weeds are to veg
etables and vultures are to birds, so
the Hun is to civilization among the
peoples Of the earth" DR.. Frederick
Perry declared last night in the high
school auditorium to a capacity
house. What simp and fool de-
clared we are not fighting the Ger
man people?" he demanded. We
are. We have just successfully COM
pleted the floating of the third Lib
erty Loan; Germany has just COM
pleted the eighth popular loan for
carrying on the war. Were the peo-
pie not standing shoulder to shout
der in support OF the kaiser's dreams
of world dominion his gigantic ma
chine would collapse overnight. I'm
der the propaganda of the past many
years they are become the missing
link-the link between the orang-
outang and humanity" he said.
THE only way to win the war is for
the American people to come to a re-
alization of what ii means. We have
the wrong mental attitude. We must
become fighting mad"
A capacity audience was present
to greet the doctor (of divinity when
he ros to speak on introduction of
County Chairman III. III. Holcridge
after Introductory vocal music by
Mesdames Hovde, Smith and Reeve,
and again Mrs. Hovde. An invoca-
ton was pronounced by Rev o. L..
Reigstad. He began with a statement
of the state and district record for
subscriptions of war and Red Cross
funds, and the appreciation of the
boys on the other side. He declared
that though we oversubscribed, we
must not lay back in false security
and feel that we had done enough.
Therell be no rest until the Hun is
whipped. We have not the right psy-
Geological attitude toward the war,
he told us. We must get fighting
mad" In no other way may we hope
to wiz the war-and America must
win ii now, whether in 10 years of
dilatoriness or 10 months Of fight
ing anger. 1t took all Europe 20
years to whip Napoleon.
Spies i'm America.
He declared that there are $50, 900
German spies in the United States.
1t is only to look about this country
of burning ships, docks, mills and
grain houses to get fighting mad. He
deplored the fact that the clergy
mans vocabulary was limited to the
word darn" and that they were re-
strained from speaking the good, real
American of the picturesque cowboy
he got acquainted with in the west.
That cowboy seemed to be able to
express how he, DR.. Perry, felt inside.
Spies are everywhere, and he said
that they reported even his speeches,
often under the cloak of what he pro-
nounced "pa-a-acifists." These pa-a-
cifists would have us whip the kaiser
while still loving him. DR.. Perry
said this might be done, perhaps, but
he hoped not. His religion pointed
to the fact that his Lord was an up
standing man, fearless, just and re-
tributive, who believed in the use of
the sword. The doctor wanted TO
cuss, and said that he'd be a rather

decent sort of fellow when the kaiser
was behaving himself. Pa-a-acifists
did nothing, and gave as an excuse
that they were troubled during this
time with the bellyache.
The doctor went to France with
Pershing's first contingent. His
mental attitude was one of tolera-
ton. A visit with some Canadian Of
ficers, who nearly whipped him for
his expression of mercy toward the
prisoners taken. They recited to him
the finding in a German trench the
the immoral "mistreatment of the
boche, and declared they were not
taking prisoners any more. The doc
tors mental attitude changed then
and he would take no prisoners.
The Hun Attitude.
Such is the education of the Hun
that they really do not see any other
way of treating their victims. They
are taught that theirs will be a hor-
rible fate If they are captured, their
nation is in danger from outside en-
emies, and that they are a race of
supermen, Led by God to rule the
world. The simple soldier, asked
why they did the awful things. an
swered with childish simplicity,
why do they resist?" The AFRO
gance of the Prussian was illustrated
by citing the capture of a wounded
officer, his hospital treatment, deli
American girl. She gave him the
care a mother would her babe.
When on the road to recovery he in
suited the girl, and vas called upon
to apologize. He reached up from
his bed, taking her hands in his and
snapped the bones of her wrists.
American soldiers, wounded and I'M
der orders not to move, pursued him
as he fled, and choked him to death
on the hospital floor.
These Prussian officers are never
whipped until they are dead. The
only way is for America to furnish
men and money to send them reel
ing back into hell where they came
from"
The speaker detailed the work of
the Red Cross in France. The boys
cannot get out of sight of the Red
Cross, he said. And to allay any
possible doubt, he declared that ev-
cry dollar of the Red Cross money
went across. There are no salaries,
and neither all nor any part of the
800, 900, 900 raised accrued to him,
the speaker. The good done is be-
yond estimate. The help to morale.
health and healing is beyond words.
DR.. Perry did not pursue a vein of
morbid retailing of grewsome pic
lures. He cited instances of awful
things, but it was to illustrate his
meaning and to shed light on the
Hun character. He is himself fight
ing mad" and wants the American
people to be the same. For no half
way measures will win. and no
amount of tepid feeling will win for
democracy against kultur (k%ooltoor) /.
His discourse was punctuated with
humorous anecdotes and references,
and his more impassioned passages
were marked by an emphasis of in
vective-no need for cuss words for
the Doctors effectiveness. He sug-
gested them without uttering them.

ANCH0RACEHA
 NEW ICL00 OF
 PIONEER WOMEN

Anchorage now has an Igloo of Pioneer Women-Igloo Number A. and this is an auxiliary to Igloo No. 15. Membership is given to wives, mothers or sisters of members of the pioneer men, regardless of the length of time the women have been in the territory. In the Fairbanks Igloo of Pioneer Women, however, member ship has only given to those who have put fifteen years in the territory.
 The Anchorage Times has the fol- lowing article in it with regard to the formation of the new Igloo of Pioneer Women at that place:
 The pioneer women of Anchorage met at Pioneer hall on Friday after noon and organized the Woman's Aux Hilary to Igloo No. IS, Pioneers of Alaska. The following officers were elected: President. Mrs. A. c. Craig; first vice-president. Mrs. A. G. Thomp- son; second vice-president Mrs. J. E. Robarts; secretary. Mrs. J. w. Weir man; treasurer, Mrs. c. J. Swenson; historian, Mrs. Woodhouse; chaplain, Mrs. J. w. Frame; sergeant-at-arms. Mrs. J. c. Davidson; trustees, three years, Mrs. Martha White; two years, Mrs. George Vause; one year. Mrs. Felix Brown.
 A committee was appointed to draft the constitution and bylaws. The meetings of the auxiliary will be the second and fourth Thursday evening of each month.
 The charter has been applied for and is expected to be here by the next meeting. There are forty-five charter members. Since the petition was sent to the Grand Igloo at Fair banks, a dozen more applications for membership have been filed, ,and there promises to be a very strong Igloo here in Anchorage.
 This Igloo will be No. 4. there al ready being one at Nome, Valdez and Fairbanks. Two or three other auxil- iaries are in progress of organization.

SOLDIER ALIEN IS DISCHARGED
 AT Fl. CIBB0N

In advices received yesterday from Fort Gibbon information was con veyed that George Malkovich. an en- listed man in the company of infan. try stationed there, had been dis charged from the service as an alien enemy.
 Malkovich had taken out his first papers as a citizen of the United States, but had not completed the required time of residence to acquire his second. According to ruling of the war department, he was not eligible for service in the army and must be considered as an alien enc my. Nothing in his record as sol dier appears against him. the excep tion being that America is at wal with the country of his nativity. He will probably be interned for the duration of the war.

CONSIDER FARM
 PRODUCE FIRST

That the urgent necessity of pro. ducing large crops during the dura- ton of the war is recognized by the government is evidenced by the fact that all shipments of seed consigned to the interior of Alaska have pref erence over all other classes of par eel post mail.
 In the last mail small consign- ment of seeds was made to local producer and stamped in large print on the package were the words: Has preference over all other par eel post matter" It seems as though Alaska is at last to be recognized as a producing factor in the agri- cultural line.

WARDENS MAKING
 FOR KUSK0KWIM

Recent advices received from Ruby state that Hjalmar Nordale, game warden for this district, and Cal Townsend, of the department of fish. cries, left that place on the sixteenth of January, bound for the Kusko- kwim.
 The trip is of an official nature. and how far they will journey in that district is not made public. A thorough investigation will be made of conditions existing in that sec tion, and all infractions will be dealt with. When they will return depends on the nature of what demands have been made on their time.

STRONG PROTEST
 MADE BY SPAIN

MADRID. Feb. 1.-After several weeks of deliberation- and study. the Spanish cabinet today decided to forward a strong protest to the Ger. man government against the action of the latter nation in sinking the Spanish steamship Ciralda. The gov. ernment will also demand that repa. ration be made to Spain for this act. which is described as a wilful violation of international law and existing treaties between the two countries.
 It Is believed that the German government will make the reparation asked for and make full payment for the losses incurred.

BONE DRY LAW
 DECIDED VALID

To many who question the validity United States in general, the follow ing decision rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States concerning a point at issue in the state of Idaho. will be of interest.
 The Supreme Court of the United States has definitely settled the ques- tion of the validity of our present "bone dry" law in decision recently made in the case of Ed Crane, plain tiff in error, versus J. J. Campbell, sheriff of Latah county. Idaho. Argued and submitted November 15, 1917. Decided December 10. 1917.
 Idaho adopted a bone dry law February IS, 1915. In Sec. IS of that law it is provided. Tt shall be unlawful for any person to import, ship, sell, transport, deliver, receive or have in his possession any intoxi- eating liquors except as in this act provided" Sec. g. provides. Tt shall be unlawful for any person, firm, company, corporation or agent, to have in his or it's possession any intoxicating liquors of any kind for any use or purpose except the same shall have been obtained and is so possessed under permit authorized by this act"
 MT. Justice McReynolds, in deliver ing the opinion of the court, said in part: Plaintiff in error (Ed Crane) was arrested and held in custody by the sheriff, in default of bail, solely because charged with having ''in his possession a bottle of whiskey for his own use and benefit, and not for the purpose of giving away or selling the same to any person" within Latah county, Idaho, prohibition district, on May 16. 1915. in violation of the quoted sections He sued out a writ of habeas corpus from the state supreme court and sought discharge upon the ground that those sections were in contravention of the 14th Amendment, Federal Constitution and therefore void. The question present ed for our determination Is whether the Idaho statute. insofar as it under takes to render criminal the mere possession of whiskey for personal use conflicts with that portion of the 14th Amendment which declares: "No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privi- leges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life. liberty or property without due process of law" It must now be regarded as settled that, on account of their well known noxious qualities and the extraordi- nary evils shown by experience com mpnly to be consequent upon their use, state has power absolutely to prohibit manufacture, gift, purchase, sale or transportation or intoxicating liquors within its borders without violating the guaranties of the 14th Amendment. AS the state has the power above indicated to prohibit, it may adopt such measures as are req sonably appropriate or needful to render exercise of that power effec- tive. And. considering the notorious difficulties always attendant upon ef- forts to suppress traffic in liquors, we are unable to say that the challenged inhibition of their possession was ar. bitrary and unreasonable or without proper relation to the legitimate legis. lative purpose" Judgment of lower court affirmed.

CHILDREN BURN IN DISASTROUS
 DAWSON BLAZE

Mrs. Fred Day and young Joe Day were seriously burned, and the other five children were more or less burned in the disastrous fire that gutted the Day home this morning at 8:30. The fire broke out down stairs, and before the family could get out of bed on the second floor escape by the stairway was cut off by the flames, and exit had to be made by the windows.
 It appears the fire first awakened Mrs. Day. who woke her husband, Rushing down stairs. Fred Day dis covered the room in flames. He sprang for the water bucket, out found the barrel empty. The situa- tion was impossible. He darted for the stairs to rescue his family But the precious moments lost looking for water and vainly- beating at the fire gave the flames headway. Al ready they were curling and hissirA up tue SlhilS, anu ucli0t SiiiphN blinded the eyes. Calling to his wife to burst open the windows and throw the children to him. Day rushed outdoors. Pow werlcSs to hUlp, when every second meant so much. he had to bear the terrible suspense. while his wife fought for her cher. ished ones above.
 Blinded with smoke. flames roaring in hungry eagcrness up the stairs, her children huddled about her, Mra Day seized chair and smashed the windows. But the double frames were strong: they resisted; blow fol lowed blow with frantic haste; min utes were lost while the hot smoke choked and flames writhed along thr walls. At last the sashes gave way, and Mrs. Day gcasped the little ones and dropped them into the waiting arms below.
 Barefooted, with scant clothing. tn unfortunate family made for the Crea- mer house, where they were received and everything possible donr for theln by the household.
 With admirable promptness Miss Creamer telephoned the fire hall, and then kept tho wires busy calling for medical aid Drs. Culbertson. Clancy and Thompson responded and hurried to the scene. Bandages were supplied by the Good Samaritan hospital.
 AS far as is known at present. Mrs. Day and young Joe are the only members of the family seriously burn ed. The effect of shock on the other children, the medical men say. cannot be ascertained for twentyfour hours or so. Fred Day suffers from frozen feet, having to stand barefooted in the snow in the 55 below weather.
 It Is understood that arrangements are made for the removal of tkt family to the Good Samaritan hos pital. They are, at the hour of go ing to press. resting easily in the Creamer house, where they are get ting every attention.
 The fire boys were promptly on the scene. and, with two lines of hose and a good pressure, soon had the blaze in hand.-Dawson News.
 Later on in the week Joseph and Clifford Day, two of the children who hospital in spite of all the care that was given them. Mrs. Day was also very low at last reports.
