COUNTY COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
ORGANIZED FOR BIG DRIVE

The recently organized county
council of defense. has outlined a
definite plan for the Third Liberty
Loan drive that starts tomorrow AT
the first and second Liberty Loan
drives no orgaization was in force
In this county and the results were
apparent In the drive that starts
tomorrow, every citizen in Douglas
county will be bombarded with liters-
ture explaining the bond issue. Men
and women will devote their time to
explaining the great need of buying
bonds and no one will be able to
say that they did not understand the
Third Liberty Bond ISSUE
The government has sanctioned
the posting of the names of purch-
asers of bonds, but the amount will
not be given. Each purchaser of
bond will receive reproduction of
the honor flag, signed by one of the
committee for dislay in the window
of his home. Community flags will be
awarded to towns that are first to go
over the top with their allotments.
1t is believed that the quota for
Douglas county will be quickly taken.
Many who did not buy bonds of the
first or second loan, have expressed
their intentions of buying bonds OF
the Third Loan. One thing is, certain:
the people of Douglas county are GO
ing to subscribe their quota Of
Liberty Bonds.

The cast has been carefully select

John Warner, popular leading

American girl who finds the right
path for the drunken beachcomber,
played by John Waller.
One of the attractive features of the

Governor Cantu was interviewed on

conferences, Alaska and Seattle Democrats decided to urge the passage of the bill it was, first step" A. J. Daly of Nome, Democratic National Committeeman Alaska, Charles G. Hefner, William Pigott and other Seattle Democrats went to Wash ington, and urged the passage of the bill. Many Alaska Democrats conducted letter-wrting campaigns in it's behalf.
 The bill passed and the writer congratulated Judge Wckersham
 Then followed the betrayal. That fall, in 1912 Clark, who had previously opposed self-govern- ment for Alaska urged in his annual report that if we were have Territorial Legislature we should have full Territorial form of government" President Taft in his last message to Congress, in December, 1912, urged full Territorial form of government for Alaska" Instead of taking them at their words, and proposing the "second step toward self government, Judge Wickersham to Alaska
 in March, 1913 and denounced Representative Charles E. Ingersoll of Ketchkan and others for saying that the Organic act, that offered first step toward self government, not all that was desired
 Then came December 1913, and President Will sons message urging full Territorial form of gov ernment" for Alaska. The writer, who had con graduated Judge Wickersham upon the passage of the first step home rule bill, in series of edi- orals in The Empire, urged him to introduce and secure passage of full Territorial form of gov bill Instead of doing that instead Of talk ing the "second step that he had promised in order to get support for his first sep'' measure he said that this paragraph the "only false note In President Wilson's message"
 Wickersham followed this by becoming candl- date Delegate to Congress in 1914, and in his platform was a word about sefgovern- ment for Alaska. He denounced the editor of The Empire and all others who urged full Territorial form of government. He declared that Alaska had all the self government that good for the Ter ritory He said that the people would wreck them selves if they had He advocated principles which proved that his pretended conversion from one of the strongest opponents of self-government-as he had openly been before becoming candidate for offce-was not genuine. He demonstrated that he had never really been true supporter of American principles of government. He not only broke his promises but he betrayed Alaska and showed clearly
 that he does not believe in the rule of the people.
 The Ex-Deegate, who Judge opposed self government for Alaska, is today opposing Delegate Sulzer's self government bill, and he never was truly in favor of self government for Alaska. The mistake the editor of The Empire made to be- leve that his pretended conversion genuine. Subsequent events have proved that he has never changed his spots.

The Moderate Crown Prince.
(St. Louis Republic. ]

"We speak openly of victory" said the Crown Prince. "The word victory must not be understood G mean that want to annhilate enemies, but only that mean to hold our own and not let tered the that clear to me, and l always emphasized it..
 That being so what the Crown Prince thinking about before England entered the war? He implies that there change in his thinking that moment and the inference is that before England came in he thinking of ami hilaion for the enemies of Germany. He was cer- tainy thinking of the annihilation of Belgium, if what happened there is any of German thought, and the utterances of thousand voices in Germany show that the thought of subjugaton and conquest is absent from the German mind when things going the German way.
 Reverses and diseouragement always change their tune Having taken a good beating himself on the Marne and being witness to the thrashng that the other Crown Princes army is getting, the Crown Prince suddenly recalls the fact that he did believe in smashing victory for Germany after England came in. Perhaps, if he searched his mem- ory again and told the truth. he would admit that temporary change along with that of the whole Potsdam gang, and that he then in favor of a victory which would annihilate Russia The his tory what happened to Russia and what has since happened the old Provinces of Russia indicate that destruction a part of the German policy then, still. Serbia and Montenegro might also have something say about whether annihilaton becomes a Teutonic policy where the Teutons win.
 But the Grown Prince is strong advocate of defensive war, and says that Germany is fight ing only to hold her own. If the were won now by Germany every foot ground that Germany better than the Grown Prince. In giving out his in- terview about Germany's defensive and moderate aims he is merely providing himself with soft place to light

SOMETHING ABOUT ST. MIHIEL TAKEN
 BY THE AMERICANS

St. Mihiel, town in Northeastern France, is on the right bank of the Meuse 23 miles Southeast of Yer dun.
 St. Mihiel is principally noted for it's churches and buildings of relig ious orders. Chief among them is the Benedictine Abbey of St. Mihiel, founded in 709, to which the town owes it's name. The abbey buildings, occupied by municipal offices and the church, date from the end of the 17th century. The church con tains wooden carving of the Vir- gin by the sculptor Ligier Richier, born at St. Mihiel in 1506.
