Joseph, Tuesday.
A large number of people from
all directions attended the meeting
held here last Sunday in apprecia-
tion of the United States recogni-
zing the Czecho Slovaks as an in
dependent people from the tyran-
ny of Austria and as Allies. A
procession composed of the Home
Guards, school children all local
lodges and citizens, headed by
Old Glory and the band marched
up and down main street and then
into the Opera House where the
singing club rendered the national
hymn and the orchestra rendered
several selections, followed by an
Introductory speech by j. A. Dvo
rak who had taken the place of
Msgr. Bouska, because of the lat
ter's illness then introduced the
speaker of the day, Lieut.. M.
Niederle of the Czeeho- -Slovak ar
my in France. The Lieutenant
narrated many incidents since the
outbreak of the world war, how
they fought on the. Russian front
and then thousands of the Bohe-
mian soldiers surrendered to the
Russians and then donning the
Russian uniform fought back the
Austrians. He then related the
experiences of this brave little ar
my in Siberia, how he and others
crossed the Pacific to the u. S.
and then landed in France to fight
the Huns. The Lieutenant is a
young lawyer who speaks Bohe-
mian, English, French, Russian
and before the war spoke the Ger
man language. He is fine speak
er and held the interest of his
hearers to the end. One disagree
able condition however, we cannot
overlook, is that some people at
such gatherings where absolute ST.
lence must be maintained, are the
cause of disturbance and annoy
ance to those who want to hear by
making noise and talking loudly.
This, shows ignorance and such
people would do better to stay out
so as others who are willing to list
en- may get chance. In the eve,
ming moving pictures were shown
The proceeds from the meeting
will 60 to the Czecho-slovak ar
my. Lieutenant Niederle went to
Dante in the evening to give
talk at a similar benefit.

SUB CHASER IS USED IN TEXAS
 ID AID A|RMEN

FORT WORTH, Texas.-A sub marine chaser, tuned and groomed, has been transported into the heart of Texas and put to work-not hunting down lurking German U- boats, but in rescuing unfortunate American aviators who fall into the water.
 This is a new venture for the submarine chaser, or sea-sled, as it is more commonly called. Or dinarily this craft, which attains speed of sixty miles an hour under the flashing of its powerful eight cylinder motor, is employed along the Atlantic coast as guard against the activities of the undersea boats. They have been successful in hunt ing down foes and in guarding coasts. Sixty-one of the lightning sleds are in use-sixty along the Atlantic coast and the siXty-first on Lake Worth in Fort Worth.
 Several months ago, when the fatal falls among the aviation stud ents around this city grew alarm ing in number, United States army officers concluded that stunt-flying and advanced training would be less deadly over the waters of Lake Worth than over the dry land. The problem of how to rescue the avi- ator, should he tumble, was solved by the sea-sled.
 The cost of constructing the boat and getting it to Forth Worth was S17,012. It draws eighteen inches of water. Its length is twenty-four feet and its width eight feet, eight inches It has eighteen air pockets and the walls are about eight inches thick The sled has V shaped 1 bottom. Credit for suggesting this shape to the manufacturers is given to Captain S. V Schermerhorn, who
 was formerly stationed at the Fort | Worth air fields.
 A crew of three men is required 1 to operate the sled, which is kept
 in readiness for action all the time
 like fire engine. Quarters have
 been erected for the men on the i lake shore

AIRNATS

''Airnats" will take its place be- side "poilus" and "Yanks" if the world will accept the result of the appeal made by the Plane News, the organ of the American Air Service, for suggestions for the best nick name for fighters in the air service. About three hundred names were proposed by readers from which a committee selected twenty-five. A vote was taken of the av.ators at the great American aviation school where the Plane News is published with the result that the name of "Airnats" was chosen. It was sug- gested by Sergeant c. B. Swafford, of the 655th Aero Squad, to whom was awarded the first prize of $20. Other names considered were Sky Larks", "Joy Boys", Eagles, Star shooters, "Skyscrapers", "Larks" '.War Eagles, "Sky Bo", "Sky Jackies", and "Joy Stickers".

VICTORY FIRST

German peace demands shrink as American armies grow. No sooner did Black Jack Pershing step in with the First American FIeld army and reduce the St. Mihiel salient than Germany found it could do without any portion of France, or even of Belgium.
 Simultaneously, it was decided in Potsdam that the indemnities to which Germany, compelled to de- fend itself from strong enemies, was entitled, might also be dispensed with as a condition to peace nego- tiated immediately.
 Wilhelm, creating the curious spectacle of yelling vociferously for peace almost from the first day of the war of conquest he began, has deceived himself and his people with delightful German thoroughness. No other highwayman has ever been more willing to make peace than Wilhelm, his pockets full of loot from France and Russia and his boots on the neck of Belgium. No one but a highwayman would have expected to have his 'peace offers heard.
 Allied refusals to consider his various offers to resume a peace status without emptying his pockets or punishing him for his mistreat- ment of Belgium must be spelling Wilhelm's faith in human nature A few more refusals will perhaps definitely destroy Wilhelm's faith in the gullibility of Entente human nature.
 When Wilhelm begins to talk about refunding the enormous fore ed payments he has wrested from Belgium; renouncing the Brest Litovsk treaty and restoring the Russian lands he has overrun; mak ing recompense to Belgium ano France for the wanton destruction wrought then will the find the Allie beginning to take interest in hl conversation.
 The kaiser will never announce peace terms acceptable to the Allie until he is leading" his routed armies back to Berlin.
 Will any single factor so help t. crumple up German morale as rousing over-subscription to tn Fourth Liberty Loan?

COAST EMPLOYES
 SWELL BED FUND

ANCHORAGE.-Employes on the Anchorage division of the govern ment railroad will again subscribe for the maintenance of beds for wounded soldiers in the American hospital at Neuilly, France. The railroad employees, at the request of Mrs. Franklin K. Lane, president of the Interior Department War Work Association, an auxiliary of the Red Cross, donated enough funds last year for a twelve-month endowment for five beds, three of which were named for Anchorage, one for Matanuska and one for Turnagain Arm.
 Mrs. Lane, in a letter to Mrs. William C. Edes, president of the Anchorage division of the Interior Department War Work Association, has asked the railroad employees to renew their pledges for the main tenance of those beds for another year at least. Subscription lists will be circulated at once to raise the necessary money.

NENANA|1E GETS
 NEWS FROM SON

On the last mail, J. C. Shultz, a we'll known Nenanaite, received a letter from his son John Shultz, who was formerly employed by the Tan ana Valley railroad, and who was recently wounded "Over There" and sent back to this country to rest and recuperate.
 Private J. A. Shultz, as John is now known, belonged to the First Regiment of Engineers, the same company as the late Carter koon, of Nenana, who was killed in action recently. Shultz was wounded in the battle of Foul, on the Lorraine sector. He was on trench duty, when wounded in the side; he was immediately taken to the field hos pital at the rear of the lines, where thirty-two stitches were found nec- essary to fix him up before he was sent to the base hospital, from which place he was invalided home to the United States.
 He is at present at Camp Merritt, N. J., which he says, is a sort of clearing camp for those about to j be sent across the pond, and he is awaiting the dictum of the medical board who will soon decide whether or not he is fit for further active service. .*~ ... .-
 John is very anxious to get to the firing line again. and has de manded active service and, he re. marks: "There is fascination about it which cannot be resisted"
 He has nothing but praise for the hospital service and the Red Cross at the front and at home. He says that he could not have been treated better if he had a million dollars He also says that he could not have believed without seeing it, the whole-hearted war spirit of every. one at home.

TRACK BALlAST|NC
 HOLDS UP TRAFFIC

ANCHORAGE.-While the work of ballasting the newly laid track of the government railroad between Seward and Anchorage will delay for a few weeks the opening of the line to general traffic, the Alaskan Engineering commission is making use of the route for transporting coal and other supplies for itself. Three cars of coal and one car of railroad supplies have been sent over the line from Anchorage des- tined for Seward.
 Heavy rains recently damaged sev- eral bridges on the Seward-Anchor- age route, but this damage is ex- pected to be repaired by the time the ballasting of the track is com pleted.
 Commission officials expect the line will experience some trouble on account of snow next winter, but nevertheless, they plan to keep it free of any protracted blockade.

 CAUSE ADVISORS
 TROUBLE GALORE

shall be allowed to roam the streets at will is an issue of transcendent municipal importance in Anchorage. It is under the grave consideration of the Advisory Council recently elected to confer with the Alaskan Engineering commission regarding the administration of the city's af- fairs. It perplexes the members of the council to the exclusion of every other civic matter
 Any place in the States where question is raised over the running at large of cows, pigs and other livestock is regarded as progressing toward urban maturity and when the issue is resolved against the cows and pigs the community has merged from a rural settlement to a modern municipality.
 Anchorage is young in years, but she never possessed the physical frame of juvenility, she came into being a thing of maturity. The townsite was surveyed, laid out and the lots sold at auction by the gov ernment. In an incredibly brief time, the purchasers of the land erected store buildings and dwell ings. Her destiny and the admins tration of her affairs were directed in accordance with modern muni- cipal methods, by the Alaskan En- gineering commission, which is con- structing the government railroad. From the inception of the town, {. there were cows and pigs, but neith- CT their owners nor the townsite manager, who was appointed by the Commission, ever entertained for a moment the idea that the animals could run at large-such a thought in view of the modern status of the municipality, would have been pre- posterous.
 The townsite manager, early in the city's history, established dog pound and employed dog catcher to give force and effect to a rule prohibiting the running of dogs on the streets. He was impelled to make the rule on the representa- tions of mothers that vicious mala- mutes had bitten children The pound has proved a bone of con- tention. It is bitterly opposed by dog owners. They have brought about it's discontinuance once or twice, but these instances were of brief duration and were always ended by a dog biting a child.
 The pound is still maintained, but its discontinuance seems to be ad- vocated more vigorously than ever by dog owners now. Immediately on the organization of the Advisory Council, they petitioned for the dis continuance of the pound and the abolition of the position of dog catcher. This proposal is strongly opposed by the Women's Club anC the Parent-Teachers Association Until the disposal of the issue
 the council will not be able to give
 attention to anything else. ;:
