Home Service

The care Of the soldiers family Is as necessary
as the care of the soldier himself if the spirit so neces
sary to his effectiveness as fighting man Is to be
maintained. If he Is harassed by anxiety about
those dearest to him at home he cannot be on fight
ing edge.
Red Cross Home Service meets this problem.
1t IS new condition that such large percentage
OF its young men should be removed from town
with all they have meant in moral and financial SUD-
port Their absence creates new problems, in the
aggregate so large they must be COPIED with in
large way. Red Cross Home Service makes the
sympathy, interest and help of the whole commun-
ity available to the family In practical manner. 1t
playing the part Of the old neighbor in new way
To see that the family Is not disorganized while
he IS absent; to give temporary financial aid when
necessary; to care for those who though they are
related to him, have no legal claim upon the Gov
eminent; to give information about pay-allotments,
terms of enlistment war risk insurance; to cooperate
with the Government in the after-care of the dis
abled soldier and his readju8tment to life; to act as
the good neighbor and friend of the family IN
troubles large and small when the soldier Is absent
these are the aims Of Red Cross Home Service,
established In every section of the country, and al
ready serving one hundred thousand dependent
families of soldiers and sailors.

FOR FRIDAY.

The management of the Grecian
Theater has agreed to donate It's
gross receipts for tomorrow for the
benefit of the Red Cross. Locll
Red Cross members will act as
ushers. ticket takers and sellers. In
fact. the Red Cross will be in
charge at the Grecian tomorrow and
every cent taken in will be given to
the Red Cross. This feature should
easily provide the Red Cross Fund
with 500. However, to make this
amount possible. It IS necessary that

ave him.

Amencan troops are now IN rance IN great num-
bers-greater numbers will follow day by day-and
America task abroad will become steiner.
The need for the Red Cross abroad is but great
er for the distance. Red Cross preparation for the
reception of our troops IN France has been going on
since the first month of the war The Red Cross
Commission In France has built great extensive
organization in people and material to assure that
our men will have every care the Red Cross can
give Them Through all the months since war be-
gan, Red Cross supplies have occupied part of
many ships; pling up IN the great Red Cross ware
houses In France against the arrival of our men. The
great Red Cross motor fleet has been organized to
transport Red Cross supplies.
All through these months, the organization has
been dying and training so that 1t would be able
10 cope effectively with the problems created by the
arrival of our men, Red Cross in France is sup
porting our Army and Is ready for any further task
that may, within reason, fall to 1t.
On the way to his camp in France the American
soldier gets food and rest at the Red Cross canteens
On the way from the trenches to his camp, he meets
the great Red Cross canteens on the lines of commu-
nication Here the tired, nerve-wom soldier, COW
cred with vermin, gets food bath, rest, and clean
clothes. The great canteen at Chalons is typical

Camp Service

1 he great army CantOnment or naval station IS
new kind of city. Here are 10000 young men, In
a new environment, living new kind of life There
IS every problem of the city of 100000 always with
some novel phase The Red Cross has filled real
place In these new cities, hel ping the Army and
Navy IN keeping the men healthy, comfortable and
happy.
In the camp the young soldier finds that elaborate
preparation had been made for his arrival The site
has been made healthy and comfortable bv the
Army OF Navy. The area surrounding the camp
has been IN charge Of the United States Sanitary
Service, the Red Gross Sanitary Service, and the
local health authorities
If an epidemic threatens the camp, as during the
recent winter, and the hard-worked Amy Medical
Staff IS baffled, they may call for Red Cross lab
oratory car to be rushed to the scene with its expert
bacterologsts and scientific equipment to study the
situation and help protect the men.
In every camp there are the Red Cross Store
houses filled with emergency medical and surgical
supplies. Then there are the knitted goods made by
the devoted women of America, and there were
few Of our men who were not thankful to those wo-
men for additional comfort during the trying winter
months.
If the soldier falls Ill IN the cantonment he is put
in an ambulance, perhaps the gift of Red Cross
chapter, It's driver quite possibly member of Red
Cross ambulance unit which has been given to the
Army; he Is taken to the base hospital, operated by
the Army Medical Corps; possibly the doctor at
tending him Is an officer of Hospital Unit organ
lied and equipped by the Red Cross; his nurse IN
all probability IS one of the thousands of Red Cross
nurses recruited by the Red Cross for service In the
Amy and Navy.
When he begins to recover, he has the Red Cross
Convalescent Houses. Here are reading and loung-
ing rooms, an entertainment auditorium, place to
meet his friends and hasten his recovery. Then
there are sleeping accommodations for his mother
who may have been summoned In the critical stage
Of bis illness.
In every camp there are Red Cross Home Service
representatives to keep the man IN touch with his
home folks to advise them of the details of his sick
ness. to co unset him about family OF financial com

Prisoners Service

If the soldier Is taken prisoner he still finds the
Red Cross caring for him. The Red Cross, IN Co
operation with the Quartemaster General Of the
Army, furnishes all American prisoners IN Germany
with food clothing and tobacco. These supplies
are shipped to the Red Cross warehouses IN Beme,
Switzerland, and from there twenty pounds Of food
are sent to each prisoner every week The prisoners
receipt for the packages, so that delivery is almost
certain. The notations on the receipts, with all
my heart thank you, There Is an American touch
to that parcel, are Inc best evidence of the impOr
lance of this work
Then, too, the Red Cross Is able to correspond
with the prisoners families. keeping them informed
of their condition and Whereabouts Letters are
sent back and forth, gifts of money and individual
packages from friends and relatives are forwarded
The Red Cross alone has permission from both the
United States Government and Germany to con-
duct this service.

GERMANY'S JOB
 WOULD BE BIG ONE

Amst sterdam.-German victory in the war would mean that the Germans 'as the dominant race" would have to keep in subj jection by force of arms the ''crushed and dispossessed people," as- serts George Gothein, a leading Lib eral member of the German Reichstag in an editorial article in the official organ of the influential German Asso- citation tor Commercial Treaties.
 "Should we actually succeed in gain ing decisive victory, which only few persons believe possible" he writes. I've would have to bear a weight of armaments for that purpose which would make it impossible for our national strength, SO terribly weak ened in any case by bloody losses, again to regain it's economic power. And yet without this, permanent polit- ical strength is impossible. One day the world would rise against the Ger man sway, would burst it's letters, would destroy our powers, which would be lacking in economic support. For if we have been able to hold out this time. we have above all to thank our economic efficiency.
 There remains only one solution. peace by understanding. A peace which is permanent must remove from the world the rivalry of power.
 "An economic war after the war would be unbearable for Germany"

San Francisco-Lilte "The Man With out Q Country" Mrs. Margaret Cornell learned an abiding patriotism m 8 prison cell.
 Nearly a year ago sentenced fer con spring with Franz vcn Ropp, then German consul general in San Fran cisco, to violate American neutrality, she entered the peniteniiary at San Quentin, having renounced the United States and revillng the flag.
 Today she is a freo woman and q woman reborn. Long days of refec- tion behind stone walls have implanted d deep love for the Stars and Stripes where venom and defiance had blaZed into traitorisn.
 She said after being freed: "It has been bitter lesson, but l have learned it. Today my one wish is to have my American citizenship restored. Losing for time the freedom that is America, have come 10 appreciate it perhaps more deeply than those who have never had such an experience"
 When sentenced Mrs. Cornell asked no mercy of the court-no special con- sideration because of her sex. Pub licly she denounced her country and renounced allegiance to the Stars and Stripes.
 Her change of heart began when she became convinced that Germany's $ adept plotters had used her as 2 tool, ready to be cast aside after they had made of her living dagger 1t the heart of the nation.

S7OO,OO0
 IN THE TREASURY

That there is s700, GOO in the Territo- rial treasury of Alaska at the present time, but that this will be depleted greatly when the school and road ap- propriations are made is the statement of Territorial Treasurer Wa|stein G.. Smith, according to the Juneau t1m- pre.
 The Alaska legislature has in- structed the territorial treasurer to allot S50,00o per year, for 8 period o1 two years, to each division for road work. This totals S20O,0 per year. However, some of the divisions have not used their full allotment, which money still remains in the treasury, for use the coming season. Big appropriations have been made for schools outside incorporated towns, and in addition $3l5.OO0 has been set aside, each year for school in incor porated towns The latter school send their bills to the treasury every three months, and up to this time none has been received. When this payment is made considerable shrinkage in the the funds will take place.
 Mr. Smith stated the reason for the big expenditures by the territorial treasury was because of the decrease Tn federal taxes, causing shrlnkage Tn the Alaska fund, and because of the decrease in taxes from incorporated towns which were returned to those towns.
 The Alaska fund set aside 65 per cent. for the road commission, p per cent. to supply schools outside of incorporated towns, and 10 per cent. went to judges for the relief of Restitution in their districts. This fund is constantly shrinking, necessitating larger appro- priations on the part of the territorial treasury, as authorized by the legisla- ture.
 The heaviest tax season for this year is yet to come, from January to April. The biggest sources of revenue to the territory are from fish and mining; the former pay a graduated tax and the latter pay per cent of their net in- come. Fish traps pay SlO0 year.
 Doctors, dentists, lawyers, bakeries, laundries and registered boats pay a yearly tax. Telephone companies, cleo tric and water companies pay one-hali of 1 per cent. of their gross receipts. Autos for hire pay yearly tax of B; public messengers pay s25; meat mar kets and cold storage plants pay grad uated tax, and the railroads of Alaska pay tax Of per cent. on the gross in- come.

Several factors have contrib uted in advancing the amount of ship ping available, among them the in- creased efficiency of offensive against submarines, and the beginning of de- liveries from American shipyards.

NE1NS ITEM

Because of the need OF help for
seeding State Supt. N. C. Macdonald
is asking that the schools have a
spring vacation of four or five weeks
so that the boys and girls can get
out and help without losing time at
school. Supt. Macdonald thinks
this should be done even tho schools
may not close until about the 18th
of July. The long vacation is pro-
posed with the idea that the boys
and girls can and will return to
school after the vacation.
MFR. Macdonald calls attention to
the compulsory attendance law and
says that, in accordance with that
law, permission to stay out of school
to work must be secured from the
States Attorney, after the county
superintendent has been consulted.
He says. also. that leach case should
be considered by itself, that there
should be no. wholesale granting Of
permission to leave school.
