EXECUTE SPIES

The assertion of Senator Overman that America's aerial program has been thNarted by the activities of German spies should be looked into by the authorities very closely. If the spies of the enemy have been able to clog the machinery which the nation depends upon to turn out its aerial fleets, there is something radically wrong with the agents whose duty it is to detect and apprehend these enemies
 Millions of dollars has been appropriated by congress toward the aerial program. Spe cial engines have been built for our machines The government has taken charge of the production of timber for our planes and has announced that the aerial industry is firmly established and capable of turning out vast numbers of planes weekly.
 Yet we now learn that only thirty-eight machines have been completed, while 12OOO must be delivered to France by July if our program is carried out. The army in France is largely dependent upon American factories for its supply of airplanes. It is in the air that our help is counted on most this year. If we have let German agents break down our plans, we have failed in our duty.
 The activity of Germans in America can mostly be traced back to one cause. That is the method adopted III dealing with them. The punishment which is given spies and plot ters caught in the very act of working against the government is not such that will prevent other men from taking their place. A few years of imprisonment coupled with paltry fine has no terrors for the enemy agents. We have been too lenient
 The government should abandon its at tempt to deal with those enemies through civil courts. Give them military trial, and if they are convicted of espionage, carry out the accustomed sentence of death, either by shooting or hanging. A rigorous adherence to such a course would put an end to the present wholesale activities of German agents throughout the entire nation.

FUND CAMPAIGN
 FOR RED CROSS
 NOW POSTPONED

The war council of the American Red Cross has decided to postpone its campaign to raise second war relief fund of $100.000.00O until the week of May 20. It was the orig inal intention to begin raising this money for Red Cross work on May 6. but fear that 1t might detract even slightly from the forthcoming Liberty Loan campaign prompted the war council to postpose the date two weeks. The second war fund cam paign will come just eleven months after the first, which was carried on during the week of June IS. 1917. The war council was appointed by President Wilson. and its first great task was to provide funds for carry ing on relief work on a scale com mensurate with the military opera tions of the nation. More than $100 100000 was contributed in re. sponse to the first call. and these INoANA AoutioAS, Piuo ihtCiCotp oAou6ht the total receipts from the first drive to $105.ssO.257 $17.OO6.121 has been expended in this country for relief work. $77.721.91s has been ap- propriated directly for the tasks of war, so that a balance of only $1O.- 371.217 remains for the spring work of the Red Cross. and the stupen- dous strains put upon 1t by the pres ent gigantic offensive on the old battlegrounds of France. France. by the way, has been the beneficiary of the American Red Cross to the sum of s3O.OOO,O0O in an attempt to heal some of the wounds of that war.rav- aged ally of ours.

is directly said regarding the Nenana opera tions, but it is more than possible that "south of Fairbanks" includes all territory on this end of the road to Broad Pass. That, at least, is a possible interpretation.
 No reasons being assigned for the aban- donment of work on this end makes it rather difficult to fight, and the first step which should be taken is to ascertain just what ground Mr. Edes has based his decision upon
 Every Alaskan realizes that the govern ment is under a tremendous strain at this time due to war conditions and unheard-ot expenditures. Every Alaskan is contributing all that is possible to help bear these burdens Every bit of our resources is being used our time, money and the lives of our finest young men are placed at the service of the country

M0LLIE LEAVES
 CARES BEHIND

A spirit of gloom pervades the fire hall. The usual playfulness of the fire boys has settled into dis consolate restlessness. The antici- patton of lively summer has fad ed and gone. "Mollie" has left this worldly sphere for better lands un. known.
 Reared from tender cubdom to the robust vigor of matured bear by the kindly care of the fire crew. Mollie achieved a place in the affec- tions of the department second to none. From the time she was brought to town a scratching cub until she was able to give the hus- kies a tussle she has been the pet of the city hall. Last fall she sought retirement in the igloo provided for her and followed the precepts of her forefathers by indulging in the long sleep of Information. With the exception of one casual glance at the sun, she has never been out to see the worlds happenings since.
 Yesterday morning the visiting committee paid her call. only tc find she had taken the long trail to the land where there Is no winter and the berry crop and salmon run are continuous. No arrangements IL e, t,4r Gra disposition, but there is some talk of turning her over to a taxidermist l for rehabilitation.

REDUCE WHEAT CONSUMPTION.

According to dispatches received here Tuesday evening, the French government has found it necessary to reduce the amount of wheat being doled out to their fighting men who are and have been for three and one half years fighting the battles of the Democ- racy of the world. The reduction of this ration carries with it lesson for every Am erican. That is, SAVE MORE WHEAT.
 When we think of the amount of wheat which is being consumed by the average Am erican and then remember that our allies are subsisting on a small percentage of that amount, it convinces us that some sort of a compulsory food rationing should be adopted by the United States which will touch every household and public eating place in our borders.
 We arc the only storehouse from which the allies can obtain these supplies Our normal export surplus has long ago been shipped to Europe. In addition to this 9O- OOO,OOO bushels have been set aside from the supply normally consumed at home for ex- port to our allies. Yet there is not sufficient to go around, even to the fighting men, for the French civilian has no part in the wheat supply.
 As long as there is need for cutting down the ration of the soldier at the front because of the shortage in supply, we who are living in security at home have failed to do our part. This failure falls equally upon us all, even though part of us may not be actually at fault.
 Towns, as rule, run to averages. As the record of this town is, the average town will be along somewhere in the same class.
 Out of more than 400 pledged food sol diers in Fairbanks, only few more than 200 have fully lived up to their pledges If the average holds good throughout the country, it can readily be seen that the need for com pulsory food conservation is great
 Indications show that this is coming, and on account of the neglect of certain per centage to obey voluntary regulations. Am erica is waking up to the fact that this is ev- eryman's war War in the abstract is chang ing to the concrete. Food saving is univer- sally approved, but there is tendency to let the other fellow do the saving and make all the reports.
 Very little is required. In fact not enough. A greater amount of wheat should be saved each week, and there is a strong probability that the food administration will call for this before many days.

JOE DAVIES IS
 NOW RELEASED

The many friends of Joe Davies, who became slightly deranged on March 13, will be glad to learn that he is well again. On becoming strick- en he was taken to the detention hospital and his condition carefully observed. In the opinion of the at- tending physician he has recovered his normal faculties, and there was no further cause for detaining him. so he was permitted to resume his daily vacations.

 MODIFIED FOR
 MEATLESSDAY

From Royal A. Gunnison. federal food administrator for Alaska. comes a modification regarding the tempo rary withdrawal of all restrictions on the use of meat and pork except on beefless and porkless Tuesdays. The reasons for such action are set forth as follows:
 Owing to transportation shortage arising so largely from weather con. ditions, and the scarcity of ocean transportation to handle foreign ship ments. temporary surplus of mar ketable live stock has arisen in the United States. To hold this over until later in the season would cause unnecessary sacrifice of corn, much of which has already been used in fattening cattle because of inability to market corn. due to said weather conditions; therefore, the United States food. administration authorizes the withdrawal of all restrictions on the use of meat and pork except beefiess and porkless Tuesday, until further notice. It Is urged that during this temporary reduction of meat restrictions the public will use meat products to offset the con. sumption of wheat products. as there Is greater necessity for conservation of wheat than ever. If 1918 home card not yet distributed suggest printing or writing in left hand mar. gin as follows: Temporarily food administration asks you to observe beefless and porkless Tuesday only: omit meatless meal and porkless Sat urday.' Please give widest publicity.
 Respectfully.
