Juneau Has Undertaken to Gather 1000 Sacks Of Sphagnum Moss for
 War Dressing.
IS BETTER THAN COTTON
Moss Makes Best Possible Dressings for Wounds, and Red Cross Offers
 All Chance to Work.

B. M. Behrends, President of the Juneau Chapter of the American Red Cross, has undertaken to gath CT 1000 sacks of sphagnum moss 500 to be worked into pads in Ju neau and 800 sacks to be shipped tc Seattle This undertaking was the result of a telegram from Dr. J. w Hotson, in charge of the surgical dressing department of the American Red Cross for the Northwest Divis ion, with headquarters at Seattle.
 'In order to gather our 1000 sacks of sphagnum moss, we will need the help of every man in Juneau said B. M. Behrends, president of the local Red Cross today.
 There is only about a month in which to fill our allotment, for the moss must be gathered before the snow comes and in another month, the places where the moss is gather ed will probably be covered with snow"
 The moss is used for dressing wounds and is regarded as far SUI peror for that purpose to absorbent cotton
 The Red Cross at Juneau has been gathering this moss, sorting and drying it and working it into pads for some time. Mrs. c. P Morgan and Mrs J. P Malone have had charge of the preparation of the work, the sorting of the moss and furnishing the expert knowledge.
 A dozen or so Juneauites have qualified as experts in gathering the moss, and one of these will be as- signed to accompany any volunteer party that will go out and gather moss Guides as to the location of moss will also be furnished.
 Council of Defense and Home
 Guards To Aid
 Mir. Behrends yesterday afternoon appealed to the Territorial Council of Defense for help in gathering moss, and each member of the Coun- cil was designated as committee of one to organize party of moss gatherers.
 The Home Guards were asked to help, and eight members last night volunteered to spend day in search of the moss.
 One party of Home Guards went to Douglas Island last Saturday and gathered ten sacks of it.
 Where All Can Help
 "This affords a chance for every able bodied man to give personal service to war work" said MT. Beh- rends yesterday to the Council of Defense, land it will be valuable help, because the moss must be had It has been proved that it is the very best dressing for wounds, and every sack of it is potential means of saving the lives of American sol diers who are fighting in France"
 MT Behrends says means of trans portation to the moss beds and lunches will be provided by the Red Cross to all volunteer parties.
 w. s. Pullen has offered the use of his automobile, and others have likewise volunteered to carry moss gatherers.
 J. C. Hayes. superintendent o roads for the Alaska Road Commis sion, has offered to take anyone tt pick moss when ever he makes his trip to the Road Commissions camI and to carry them back again. i his automobile is not already loaded

the thousands spent the day in prayer
and fasting.
The services conducted in the tenn

rote of solemaiy and fervor never be-

stance prayers for the soldiers and
sailors of this country who have died
in the war were offered. Gold stars
giinted from the service flags Of many

were deeply sprnkled with soldier

from the feasting which has character

Cardinal arley
Grows Weaker as
Heart Fails Him

MAMARONECK, N. Y, Sept. 10
Cardinal Farley is very close to
death, is the belief of the physicians
who have been attending him and the
priests and others who have been with
him during his present illness Within
the last three days the Cardinals con-
dltion has become more and more
alarming, and tonight those about
him seemed to have abandoned hope.
The three physicians who have been
with him daily issued no bulletin to-
night. but Monsignor Carroll, private
secretary of the Cardinal, said:
"Cardinal Farley's recovery now
seems almost hopeless. His heart has
about failed him 1t has been growing
weaker and weaker within the last
three days. He is very, very weak and
in an extremely critical condition. We
have not yet abandoned hope. however,"
In all the Catholic institutions in the
diocese prayers for the dying were
chanted during parts of the day, at the
request of Monsgnor Mooney. Many
OF the priests who visited here during
the day also chanted the prayers for
thc dying.
The Cardinal also seems to realize
that he is dying, and just before his
sudden sinking spell yesterday morn
ing he whispered wish to be removed
to MS home in New York He is now
unable tc talk.

been administered to the Cardinal bv

Thereupon the original resolution

The wording of the resolution finally

Nobody Wants Any
Part of This $4,000

When Joseph P. Moran, president of
the Polcemen's Benevolent Associa-
ton. sent out a circular requesting a
dollar from every policeman for the
purpose of buying $4,000 worth OF
presents for Police Commissioner En-
right, Frank A. Munsey, the Boards of
Aldermen and Estimate, and everyone
else who had part in increasing the
pay of the police, little did he know
the wrath that it would kindle in the
bosom of the commissioner himself.
"Who,' demanded Commissioner En-
right, when the circular was brought
to his attention yesterday, did this ?"
The question was merely rhetorical
for "Joseph P Moran" was printed in
black letters at the bottom of the an
peal. The thought of present bought
with fraction of $4,000 apparently
aroused no pleasing anticipation in the
bosom OF Commissioners Enright. He
straightway denied himself to all news
