ltEI army as it stands today, IS comprised of 1,42S,650 men. There are 11O,S56 officers. These figureS are brought up to the last day of the old year and represent the growth of the American army in nine months. Previous to that time the regular army of the United States was made up of less than a half million en- listed men and officers. Secretary Baker presented facts yesterday. Along with the facts he gave assur- ances that all is we'll with the men abroad; that each and every man there is thoroughly equipped; that arms of the most effective kind have been provided for every soldier, and are available for every fighting man who will be sent to France in 1918. This should have something to do with the stilling of those raucous voices which always shout disaster The American army is prepared in moro ways than one. It is prepared to sound the death-knell of autocracy.

 Miss Ryan is a pioneer of the north, ard in the first rush to the Klondike was locateh at Glenora, On the stikine river, c. C., Tn 1900 she came to Whitehorse and has been here ever since.
 During her long residence here Miss Ryan has been prominently identified with all charitable and patriotic movements, and her de- parture will be a severe loss to the local branches of the 1. O. D. E., and the Red Gross, in both of which societies she is life mem per During the past four years Miss Ryan has, under the aus pices oF the l. o. D. E., conducted a rummage sale at her home, and yesterday turned. over the last $50 installment Of the $1,OO0 she has thus raised for war relief work.
