l'EEDED
 FOR SOLDIERS

The Red Cross has issued direc
 tion5 for the making of articles which most nearly meet the war require m nts from the standpoint of useful ness and economy in money and labor. In July the Woman's Bureau of the American Red Cross sent two representatives to France to study the question of garments and other supplies. These representa-. tives and other women already in France were appointed by the Red Cross commission in Paris to act as a special committee for this purpose and have made report on the gar ments and supplies that are imme. diately needed. On account of the severe damp cold of the winter in France. in the sections now under
 fire. this commission emphasizes the need of warm materials and gar. monts. There is an endless de- mand for socks, those made with heavy yarn and number 10 needles being desirable. the other good mod els will be acceptable" writes the report. Bright colored bags. un- filled, for the men in the hospitals to keep their small personal belong ings in. are asked for. "The gayel the better" the report goes on to say. as the bit of color is pleasure able. Over 50 such small, bright colored bags were sold at the fish pond of St. Matthews fair last Oc. tober. If any of the good people of Fairbanks have these or other sim- lar bags, not in use, and also any bright, clean bandana handkerchiefs, please collect them and leave them at the Woman's Bureau headquar. ters at the public library. A repre- sentative of the national Woman's Bureau is remaining permanently in France to study the demand for all kinds of garments and supplies, and is keeping the chapters in touch with the latest needs.

BLAZE
 CREMATES ONE:
 BURNS ANOTHER

Word was received by the mar. shal's office from Brooks yesterday morning to the effect that a fire had occurred there Sunday evening in which one man was cremated and another severely burned.
 The message was sent by Deputy Marshal Frank Miller and read as follows:
 This evening Frank McHugh and Jerry Quinlan were drunk in a cabin at the outskirts of the town. The cabin burned to the ground. McHugh was cremated. Quinlan escaped, but slightly burned. Quinlan is now in jail. He was found drunk in the street.
 Will investigate before laying charge. Information to date indi- cates fire was accidental"
 Both McHugh and Quinlan were oldtimers in the country, and have been located at Brooks for some time past. McHugh's body was recov- cred from the cabin in a charred condition. Quinlan was able to make his escape from the burning struc- ture, but was burned in many places in doing so.
 Both men are said to have been intoxicated at the time of the fire, and were in an unconscious condi- tion when the blaze broke out.
 An inquest was held yesterday af- ternoon over the remains of the un- fortunate man, but the finding of the coroner's jury is not made pub lie at this time.
 An investigation will follow to find the party responsible for the whis- key being in the possession of the two men, and a vigorous prosecution will follow his apprehension. De. tails will be sent to the marshars office as soon as possible.

dent principle runs through the whole program I have outlined. It is the principle of justice to all peo- ples and nationalities and their right to live on equal terms of liberty and safety with one another, whether they be strong or weak. Unless this principle be made its founda. tion, no part of the structure of in- ternational justice can stand. The people of the United States could act upon no other principle, and to the vindication of this principle they are ready to devote their lives, their honor and everything that they pos. sess. The moral climax of this, the culminating and final war for human liberty, has come. and they are ready to put their strength. their own high est purpose, their own integrity and devotion to the test"
