Interesting Letters From AlaSkanS at tie Fy0nt--
 Xamkees Sure Are Fighters

Dr. James H. Condit has recently received letters from three well known Alaskans, now in the service in France, which he hands to The Empire to be shared with it's readers.
 MT. J. J. Crossley, formerly District Attorney at Fairbanks, has been re- gently advanced to the rank of Ma jor and is now station at Headquar- ters of the 369th Infantry, Fourth French Army. Under date of Sept. 18th, Major Crossley writes:
 My dear Dr. Condit:
 Your much appreciated letter of July 20th. received here September 17th. Was much pleased to hear from you.
 "I was sent to Infantry 1st Army Corps school one month, then to Ar my General Staff College two months and then sent to General Headquar- ters where 1 was promoted and put on staff work and I am now here during this great battle of Cham pagne, East of Rheims in that ca pacity.
 This battle began Thursday morn ing, September 26th., and is still continuing with the Huns driven back from six to ten miles; thou sands of German prisoners taken and a smothering of Boche artillery by that of the French and Americans
 q was yesterday up on the battle field in front of all our artillery and right back of our advanced In fantry, where shells were numerous from the Huns and while it was a very interesting place it was hot one, too.
 "A Boche airplane shot down a French balloon within 100 yards of me and it burned up completely, but the French have superiority in the air, just as they have in the artil- lery. Saw the wounded cared for at first aid stations and the dead re- spectfully buried Saw German skulls and bones scattered about caused by the six hours heavy AL lied artillery bombardment that preceded the attack.
 This battle covers a front of some 115 kilometers or about 75 miles The first and second lines of the German trenches were thoroughly churned up by our artillery. Thou sands of Hun prisoners have been taken and they don't seem to be sor ry. They say 'the war is finished

The following is from a letter writ ten by Craig Condit, who is in the Transportation service at St Ma zaire, Bay of Biscay, France The date is September 18th, 1918,
 This is great war right now. The way the army is going after the makers of good beer is sure amaz- ing Right now they arc going to- ward Metz. Don't suppose the Al lies will try to capture Mc'z as have heard it is the stronge3t f1rti- fled city in the world. But there i3 more than one way of Eilling eat. The Allies can go around Mo" hNfh ways and cut off the s7ier.trout and wienes supply and then l don't think the Germans will be slow in surrendering.
 Right now there are hordes of Hun prisoners taken each day. One Count was found waiting to surren- der, standing in front of his quar- ters in his best uniform, according to reports The offensive will con tinue.
 "As soon as an advance is made some one starts the rumor of return ing home.

lain in the future. Will sit still until Spring and then will try again.
 'The war news looks good over here now to say the least. It is just question of time until the finish but Germany can keep it up for quite little while if she wants to fight to a finish. Signs are now that her morale and people are beginning to break rapidly.
 Don't believe all the tales you read about the "saintly'' conduct of the American army over here. Man for man they are far better than any bunch over here and also better than an equal number of civilians but where there arc so many tempta- tions it's hard on the kids.
 Tt amuses one to experience the hail fellow, we'll met man in re- ligious work who wants to smack man on the back and get by with lot of light profanity and shady jokes. It does not pay and they will rue the day they tried such steps
 Enclosed you will find a few snap shots which may interest you. The Presbyterian board back home is standing behind the chaplains fine over here.
 With all good wishes for you and yours and prayers for the work up there and the loyal workers, I re- main, Sincerely yours,

$12, 000,O00,0 exclusive of the ad-
Vances to the Allies.
These advances to all the Allies
have totalled, up to the close of
March, $4,000, 100000. The United
States has been secured with the
bonds or obligations Of the countries
to which the money was advanced.
More than $t25, 100000 of the sum
went to Russia before the debacle
put the country out of the war. What
return, the United States will get, if
any, is considered doubtful.
Chairman Hurley Of the Shipping
Board, in a recent speech in New
York at which he outlined the ship
building program fully for the first
time, declared the great building
program which is to make the bridge
Of ships to France is % per cent. to-
ward completion. He pointed out the
magnitude of the task by recalling
that the Shipping Board is building
in year, greater organization than
the Steel Corporation has been able
to build up in more than twenty
years. The recent disclosure by the
British Admiralty that German sub
marines actually are destroying the
worlds shipping twice as fast as it
is being built is the spur which is
expected to put the full force Of the
country at this vital task.
Beside the work of the executive
departments of the government. the
year has seen tremendous strides in
the mobilization Of labor, industry,
science and invention with the sole
aim of winning the war. Hundreds
of business and professional men have
give up private interests to serve the
government at nominal pay. Business
and manufact ure has given the best
Of it's secrets. Whatever criticism was
made Of the lack Of coordination of
all these tremendous resources and
power, none ever has charged that
private interest has withheld them.
What is expected to be one of the
mightiest weapons toward winning
the war is the War Trade Board, Gre
ated for the purpose of cutting off
supplies to Germany through the ad-
iacent neutrals. AS the war goes on,
officials say, the work Of this organi-
cation cannot be underestimated.

Hartford April 6.--Nany women
will be working on the farms Of Con-
neCticut this summer because OF the
active steps being taken to organize
a Woman's Land Army in this state
The Committee on Woman's Activi-
ties of the Connecticut State Council
Of Defense has investigated the pos
sibility of placing the women on the
farms to meet the present labor
shortage and is now developing the
organization plans.
The investigation work was as
signed to a sub committee, the Com
mittee on Food Production and the
organization work now falls to an
Executive Committee recently formed.
Mrs. e. G. H. Schenck Of Wilton is
the Connecticut representative of the
Woman's Land Army of America and
is serving in the capacity of chairman
Of the newly created executive com
Jnittee.
The other members are: Leo A.

that should the war be prolonged and
II becomes necessary for the United
states to assume the burden Of carry
ing on the conflict an army of five
million men would not be improbable.
Inc immense and sudden expansion of
the army has not been without
criticism but. it is declared this was
expected in the conversion into a
lighting force of a nation additionally
welded to the pursuits of peace.
The expansion of the naval forces
has been characterized in congress by
many as praiseworthy. The exact de-
tails, here too, are shrouded in
secrecy as a military measure, but 1t
is we'll known that an emergency war
building program has been pushed
with such rapidity that the United
States is well on the way to a place
second only to Great Britain as a
naval force, and that in destroyers
alone-most proved and deadly
weapon of the Submarine-the navy
by next year will have the greatest
fleet on the seven seas. Since the
United States went to war, the navy
has placed contracts for practically
thousand vessels, ana besides that
took charge of repairing the seized
German and Austrian ships damaged
by their crews at the orders Of the
German government.
Time to Remove His Hat.
The case of the great liner Water
land, now the United States Ship
Levlathan, is a fair example of the
efficiency and speed with which the
naval engineers conducted that work.
When the Germans finished their
work of destruction the Vaterlands
commander remarked he would take
his hat off to the Americans who
could put the ship in shape in time
to be of any service.
Within six months from the time
his words were spoken the Vaterland
was in running order and since, the
navy has announced, has carried
number of American troops and
great quantities of supplies to the
fighting lines in France.
BY taking the ships and men Of
the Coast Guard into its fleets, by the
merging of Naval Volunteers and
Naval Militia, and with the growth
of the Marine Corps, the navy has
expanded its forces practically five
times since the country went to war.
In its immense task of conveying
troops there have been some losses,
notably the Tuscania and the Antilles,
but the losses of life have been for
tunately small in comparison with the
numbers of troops transported. At
the same time the American destroy
ers. working with the British in the
submarine zone, have made them
selves a terror to the undersea boats.
Of hnxY h
accounted for remains a military Sc
cret.
Feats of Treasury Department.
The Treasury, concerned with fl
nancing the war, has raised from
Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamp sales more than $4,000 100000
and on this, the first anniversary of
the declaration of war on Germany,
is launching the Third Liberty Loan.
Treasury estimates put the expense
of the first year of the war at about

war.
Every dollar that goes
into the Third Liberty
Loan should be sub
scribed with the firm re-
solve that it is there to
stay as long as the coun-
try needs it.
Our men are In the
front line, with the
causualty lists mounting
daily. They cannot turn
back until their work is
done. Our dollars must
not turn back.
Our ships are setting
out along the hazardous
3000-mile line of COM
munications. In spite Of
all attacks, they must
go on to the end of the
voyage. Our dollars
must go ON to the end.
1t is easy to subscribe
to a Liberty Bond. But
as Secretary McAdoo
has pointed out, sub
scribing does not help,
unless we actually mean
to pay for the bond, and
to keep it. To hold it
for only a few months
and then sell it or turn it
back to the bank, or use
it to pay the grocer or
tailor, is like enlisting in
the army for 3 months
and then going home
when the guns begin to
roar.

Light-Saving is Life Saving

The question, What good will
the light-saving plan do?' is con
stantly asked. The answer is, 1t
will save life. The benefit is tn
same as that derived from all con-
servation measures, which aim at
Just that, whether the thing I'M
mediately conserved is food. OF
fuel, or cloth, or what not.
Light is necessary to life, and
the fuel which produces our artl-
fcal light may be used TO supply
power to factories, to drive loco
motive or marine engines, and, IN
short, to keep the wart machine
going. To keep the war machine
going at top speed is to save HE
More terrible it undoubtedly makes
the war, but ii also shortens it and
sends our BOYS to the front better
prepared, protected and tended IN
case of accident, with consequent
improved chance of getting back
home, to join again the ranks OF
producers, once the job of saving
the world is over.
So, whatever inconvenience we
may think we suffer, whatever
the jolt to-our habits, to our
cherished notions it is up to US to
get up earlier and retire earlier
Our soldiers will benefit thereby
and so shall we, for what helps
them helps us all.--Philadelphia
Record.
