ALASKA ON TOP

The returns announced by the Red Cross officials from the recent Red Cross Christmas drive show that Alaska has won her "place in the sum- by the wonderful record which was set by the workers in this campaign. To many people living in the States and who are unfamiliar with the character of Alas kans, the wonderful results achieved will be somewhat in the nature of mystery, but to those who do know Alaskans, it will be no more than the natural order of things.
 The helping hand principle of the Red Cross society is part of the creed of all AL askans, which is lived up to on any and all occasions It therefore came as second na- ture for them to dig down for the ''where- withal' to make themselves eligible for mem bership in the organization of mercy.
 The drive officials in all parts of Alaska deserve great credit for their successful cam paign. When the idea was first broached, there was possibly some doubt as to its suc- cess, but any pessimism encountered only served to make them all the more determined to carry it through.
 The great success of the drive locally was due in a large measure to the work of the children, and the lists turned in by them were made up by personal efforts and not presentations. To all of them, as we'll as the campaign managers, great praise is due.
 In the final sense, however, it is the pat riotic citizenship of the country which in this case, as in all others, really made the truly great record. We believe that our population is the most mixed of any State or Territory in the Union. There is scarcely country in the world which is not represented in it. Yet, and despite our remoteness from the many war activities in the States which serve to bring the war home to one, we are showing that Alaskans are more nearly unit in their support of the government than the people of almost any other section of the country. Not only in Red Cross work, but in all other movements suggested by the government, AL aska has forged to the front. We "doff our lid" to the patriotic citizenship which has made this possible.

per river delta, while not directly affecting this section, is a matter of interest on ac- count of its being measure for the conser- vation of Alaskan resources, and of protec- ton for those who live on the upper reaches of those streams. It is more than possible that this order will be severely criticised in some quarters, because it will entail losses to a few people who have their money invested in canning plants in the district covered.
 To those who are familiar with the situa- tion along the upper Copper River, the Gull kama and other streams, it has been mat ter of some wonderment that such measure was not taken before this. It is said that these streams are being deprived of their GUS tomary fishing on account of the extensive operations of the canners. The natives who in former years have derived both food and revenue from the fishing resources of these streams, for the past season or two have sui fered because of their loss.
 It is not improbable that Cordova will feel the effects of the order in financial way as many thousand cases of canned fish have been shipped from this port, and the industry has been the source of considerable revenue The present loss to this town, however, will be more than overbalanced by the benefits tc accrue in the future.

that vehicle, we have got to get busy and sup port the local defense board in the plan which they have outlined.
 The enemies of the country, and they should be easily recognized, have been, and still are, trying to create the impression that this outcry about food conservation is all poppycock Whether there has been any of this kind of talk here or not, we do not know. It might be said, or thought, that as there is sufficient flour here to last until the first ship ncnts arrive from the States, there is no use iii stinting ones self. It is true that our sup ply of wheat products is great enough for all present needs, and this also is true foi the Outside, but what man is foolish enough to predict how much of these supplies we will be able to replace after they are gone. Every sack of flour saved from the present stocks on hand means that much less to be taken from the nations supply next year.
 Fairbanks is just about to begin its con- servation under we'll defined plan of opera ton. The person, persons, or firms who re- fuse to do their bit under this plan and for this cause is almost certain to wake up sol17e nice cool morning and find themselves migh'y unpopular.

NEXT SPRING

If there was ever any doubt among the allied nations of the ability of France to keep up its pace until victory had been gained, it has been removed by the evidence seen on every side by the visitors to that dauntless re- public. There is an air of hopeful expectancy in Paris; the despondency of few months ago has given way to good cheer and feeling of certainty that next spring will see de- cisive campaign.
 For the past two months this renewed vigor has been evident, and is increasing ev cry week. It can be seen in the activity of fensive on the western front has not dampen- the British and French can hold the invad- CTS safe until the Americans are ready to join in the push which will send the barbarians packing. .->......
 "Next spring" is the phrase used by the street gamin, the shop girl and the statesmen as the "Sammees'' pass on the boulevards. Noting the steady increase in the forces of their new ally, and reading in the French newspapers of the preparations being made across the Atlantic, the prophecy of "next spring" seems to them very real In the air of confidence shown by the French there is positive refutation of the German statement that the French are bled white and soon may be expected to drop back to defensive sys- tenn of warfare.
 The hopeful phrase "next spring" has crossed the channel to England, where making war has not yet reached its maximum. The British are also greatly encouraged by the gigantic preparations which America is mak- ing, although it is no new story to them. In- deed, their own preparations for keeping up the smashing offensive which their armies have been conducting since last summer are not less than America's.
 " And the Huns themselves must have caught the mystic formula of "next spring"
The weekly Alaska citizen., 1918-01-14
UP TO EVERYONE

When the food administration yesterday determined to release an extra ninety million bushels of wheat above what has heretofore been set aside for the European nations, it did so because 1t has confidence that the mass of people i'll America who compose the great food conservation army will make the extra effort which will account for that amount.
 To the allies this ninety million bushels means keeping the strength of its soldiers at normal To allow it to fall below that pitch would be dangerous to the cause It also will mean the preservation of the lives of many civilians, and insure the health of future gen. erations untouched by the evil effects of a people which would otherwise be weak in body and intellect from malnutrition.
 To Americans it can entail no real suf- fering, or hunger, but does mean not in considerable amount of sef-denial and per- sonal sacrifice. If, however, we are so foolish as to neglect the advice and pleas of the food administration and neglect to cut out every bit of waste, and observe the "less" days of different kinds, and in particular the "wheat- less days" we may possibly find ourselves fac ing flour shortage ourselves in the early spring.
 We are glad to be able to say that the local food conservation campaign is about to begin in earnest That such. campaign has not been under progress for months is truly fact which every patriotic citizen must re- gret. The oversight. or neglect, whichever it was, has put the camp far behind in its share of this important work. It is not Fair banks way to sit anywhere but in the band wagon at the head of the procession. If we are going to occupy our accustomed seat in
