NEW START IN
 ORPHAN FUND

A new start has been made in the orphan fund, for the month of Au- gust. The month of July eclipsed all previous months, and those having charge of the fund are highly elated over the results attained.
 In the last mail was received a letter from one of the orphans in France, thanking his benefactor for the interest taken. One has but to read the letter to know that no mis- take can be made in aiding those who so badly need it. and the appre- citation expressed by the little chap would reach even the most calloused. Many have deprived themselves that those who have suffered in more ways than one may be enabled to exist during the most devastating war that the world has ever known. The fund today has just $3.75 in it, and 1t is the beginning of another month in which the generosity of the American public is appealed to.

HUDSON NOW AT
 AMERICAN LAKE

In the last mail word was received from Lee Hudson, who left here in the latter part of June for the Out side to be inducted. At the present time he is at Camp Lewis, American Lake, Washington.
 Since leaving Fairbanks Hudson has traveled quite a bit and enjoyed the sights of the principal cities of the coast. The activities of Camp Lewis are many, and he interestingly describes many occurrences there.
 
 "I'll not take No for an answer, Miss Bunker-Priscilla," he declared bravely, as he persistently pressed his suit
 Then, sir" replied the cold and cultured Boston girl, rising proudly to the occasion, twill you in lieu of that much-hackneyed negative asser- tion accept my positive declination to respond concurrently to the query propounded?"
 And he did.

STASER TAKES EXCEPTION TO
 ONE ARTICLE

In the last mail was received communication from Harry I. Staser, who was registered with the local board here and who afterward went Outside to Nevada, where he WE married, in which he takes excep- tion to the statement that he had put in claim for exemption on the ground of being married. His letter is as follows:
 Camp Lewis, American Lake, July
 IA, 1918.
 ITO the Editor,
 "The Daily Alaska Citizen Fairbanks, Alaska. Dear Sir:
 q just received a copy of your paper dated May 23, 1918, and under the headlines, Drafted Men Claim Exemption" etc., you mentioned tha fact that I, Harry l. Staser. had married Barbara Boerner, formerly of Fairbanks, and that l had claimed exemption on the grounds of being married. can hardly understand how you could possibly get such news. l know positively that "N' or anyone else can't find one single piece of paper with my signature at tached where I even hinted that I wanted to be exempt. I want to see the paper. At no stage of tho game did I ever even think of ex- emption. As for Mrs. H. S., you all know her spirit too we'll to think of her influencing me either way. In fact, she is very proud of her Soldier Boy.
 Tt might be of some interest to my friends in Fairbanks to know that l am drill sergeant, and have been assigned to the permanent per sonnel of the depot brigade And all the bad luck I wish to about four of your noble citizens is that the government raises the draft age to about forty-seven, and that I will be lucky enough to be the drill ser geant that gives the aforementioned four their first lesson in military discipline.
 "The life of a soldier in raining camp is certainly great There is something doing every minute. The different auxiliary organizations to the army spare no expense or work in entertaining the soldiers in camp, and after a man is here two weeks they couldn't run him out of the army. The training is wonderful; couldn't begin to tell you how wonderful it really is. owe my speedy promotions to the training I received at Culver Military academy some years ago.
 My best regards to all. HARRY I. STASER. Camp Lewis, American Lake, Wn. "52nd Co. 18th Battalion, 166th De-
 pot Brigade"

ALASKA'S COAL
 WILL RELIEVE
 THE SITUATION

WASHINGTON.-To make it pos sible for the secretary of the navy to mine coal in Alaska to relieve the acute fuel situation on the Pacific coast, and to assure a supply of coal for the war vessels in the Pa cific, Senator PoindeXter of Wash ington introduced an amendment to the naval appropriation bill, which reads as follows: "S1 100000 of which or so much thereof as may be nec- essary may in his discretion be used by the secretary of the navy in mining coal, or contracting for the same in Alaska the transportation of the same to Seward. Alaska, and the construction of coal bunkers and the Il 'cCssary docks for use in sup plying ships herewith; ana the sec retary of thr nay is hereby all- thotized to select from the public coal lands in Alaska such areas as may be necessary for use by him fo. the pugpo.c5 ctctcd herein" This amendment with the words ito Seward. Alaska" was approved by the committee and adopted by congress. The reason accredited for the striking of the words ito Sew ard, Alaska" was that the bill would not give the secretary the authority to ship the coal from any point ex- cept Seward and it was the wish of the senate that the matter of mining and shipping coal from Al aska be left entirely discretionary with the secretary of the navy.
 In the house, Hon. Chas. A. Sulzer, delegate from Alaska, took an i'm
 portant part in interesting the com mittee and members of the house, so that the matter was adopted in
 that branch of congress without seri-
 ous opposition. That MT. Sulzer's
 work was effective and appreciated by Senator Poindexter is shown by | the following letter, received by the delegate from Alaska from the Wash | ington senator:
 United States Senate, June 24, 1918. "I have yours of recent date and
 certainly appreciate the good work you did in the house towards the
 retention by the conferees and by
 the house of my amendment for sup plying coal for the navy from AL
 aska. believe. as you say, that this | will go long way toward activity
 in coal mining in that territory
 which we are all so much interest ed in.
 With best wishes
 "Very truly yours, MILES POINDEXTER."

GRATITUDE IS
 EXPRESSEDBY
 ORPHAN CHILD

From ia: off France under date of June 27 a sletter was received ad dressed to George Herring in which was expressed the gratitude of the French child which he has adopted for a year. Herring was one of the first to adopt an orphan and natur. ally would be one of the first to have a response. Others who pledged themselves to care for fatherless one for a year may also expect to receive a letter from France shortly The letter was written in French the translation of which is as fol. lows:
 La Charse, par St. Yrieix-les- 9ois,
 Grouse. France.
 My Dear Benefactor:
 q am still young to be able to thank you as I would like to, for the interest that you so kindly be- stow upon me.
 T am only and my hand and my phrases are not able to express my thoughts to you.
 Tt is with all my heart, Dear Benefactor, that present you my most ardent thanks for your gener. ous action and I will do all in my power to show you that I am worthy of it.
 Kindly accept, sir and dear bene- factor, the assurance of my sincere gratitude.
 IRENE BOULADOUX."
 The child's mother also wrote ex- pressing her gratitude for his gener. ous action. It is as follows: Sir:
 q have the honor to thank you very sincerely for your compassion on my misfortune.
 q am deeply grateful to you for your generosity towards my young son.
 "1 can assure you, sir, that my child and myself will remember for. ever the benefactor whom we know only by name, and that we will do all possible to show ourselves worthy of your interest.
 According to your wish I will ad dress you next month the photo of your little protege.
 Will you accept, sir, the eXpres sion of our profound respect and sincere gratitude.
 PAULINE BOULADOUX."
 These are the first acknowledg ments to be received from overseas and only one of the many that will follow. The tone of the letter shows how deeply have the ravages of wal struck home to those who are in the midst of the conflict, viewing daily that which has entered their lives and saddened them. All grief is borne without a murmur; all through the letter may be read the under tone of heartache and sadness, the wife for her husband who made the great sacrifice for honor and liberty the son for the father who has passed out of his life.

 What would you say about this accident. MT. Swiggert-" the coroner asked.
 Well, if I was writin' that young mans epitaph." the witness drawled "Pd say he died tryin' to get sixty miles out of ten.mile road"

FAIRBANKS LAD NOW AT FRONT;
 IS DOING WELL

The following letter written June 19 by Lawrence Auten. formerly in Fairbanks, but now at the front. says, among other things:
 Suppose you think I have for gotten you entirely, but I have been more than busy since arriving over here. While in camp we were jump ing sideways and then the call came it kept us more than busy, but there is none who like to dwell on that subject, for 1t is more of nightmare than I care to see again We sure have the Hun on the run ! when we get near him and if ever they had the fear of God in them, they sure have now
 "My first introduction to France was through the peasantry, and I can't say that France was very high in my estimation, but since arriving in the city have changed my mind. It is great. Talk about women. This is the home of them and the States can not come up to them in looks, dress or anything compared to these. Just at present the U. s. Marines hold the stage. Every girl has a button or Marine corps em- blem. Two of us on the Boulevard had 10 girls in one of the sidewalk cafes, and as you probably know, was always bashful, but the girls get up and kiss you before every one. However. I am trying to get acclimated and am succeeding fairly we'll.
 Last night we went to one of the large theatres here. They are very good, have American music, orchestra and songs, New York pric- es and promenades in the foyer and cafe in connection. Women are very adept in cigarette smoking. No one figures on seeing the complete show. which starts at nine, but they stroll in and out. The interiors are very grand, and I think that is what most of them are there for-as a suitable background.
 "The Frenchman stops you again and again and inquires of Chateau Thierry, Belleu Woods, Marines. good fighters, etc.. but it gets tire some after a while, and 1 will be glad to get back to the front again.
 "The American Red Cross is sure good to us fellows, though when we came our sole wealth were the cloth es on our backs and an accumuia- tion of many days dirt and sleep less nights. They put all of us through the bath. gave us clean clothes, good place to sleep and plenty to eat. American women bring out candy, cigarettes and fruit, so you see what a help they are to us fellows. It is hard to get any thing here, as everything is double New York war prices.
 twill soon be leaving for other parts, I suppose, but the present address will reach me-"
 From the above 1t is evident that Lawrence may have been among those fighting with the marines in that section nearest Paris. He joined the marines last fall, went to Mare Island, Cal, then to Quantico, Va, and left for France in May. His address is 9th Regt. 55th Go. U. s. Marines, A. B. F. He has been in Seattle for several years and left a promising position at the head of a large Seattle tug boat concern to get into the service.

While the number of marines en- gagged in the actions has been less than that of the infantry and other branches, it will be noticed that the list of those either missing or cap. tured is practically nothing. The Marines have set the world agog with their fighting qualities. and it is on that account that the number listed in that branch of the casual. ties is less. The list of officers is not included in the above enumera. tion.
