SHOULD BE RELEASED.

The Alaska boys who ere in the
service of Uncle Sam at the different
forts in the territory should be I'M
mediately released. When they en-
listed or were drafted 1t was with the
understanding that it was for the dur
alton of the war, which was practi-
cally over with the signing of the
armistice. Since then the soldiers at
the cantonments in the States and
those who went overseas have been
demobilized by the thousands daily.
Here in Alaska, where patriotism
reached the high, water mark in all
war activities, the men are not being
released as rapidly as they should be.
While they were all anxious to join
the colors and remain with Uncle
Sam as long as their services were
needed they can certainly be of more
service to themselves and the terri
tory by following their regular voca
tions, instead of being compelled to
remain at some isolated fort and put
in most of their time sshoveling snow
and doing other similar stunts. .,..
5t Cordova and the Copper River val
ley has contributed it's full quota OF
young men to Fort Liscum and else
where, but feels that the time has
arrived for their release from mill
tary duty, especially as most OF them
/ shass positions awaiting them At home
Captain Hewes must certainly appre
ciate the fact that the sentiment here
and throughout Alaska is strongly in
favor of these men being returned tt
civilian life. One of the reasons given
by him for the retention of the mer
at Fort Liscum is their need as guards
at different towns. So far as Cordova
is concerned, and we feel confident
the same applies to other sections
there is absolutely no further use fol
soldiers in guarding property. The
Department OF Justice has dispensed
with guards at the ocean dock and
there no longer exists any necessity
of having soldiers stationed at bridges
or along the railroad.
The territorial council of defense
has interested itself in the demand OF
the men that they be released, and
tnok tho mattnr IN with the war de-
partment. 1t is gratifying to note
that yesterday forty-two soldiers were
discharged at Fort Liscum and it Is
hoped that within a very short time
all of the Alaska boys will again be
back home at their old positions and
with their friends. IL

TEACHER HAD
CLOSE CALL
FROMDEATH

By recent advices from the lower
river 1t was learned that Miss Alice
Gwaltney, the teacher of the public
schools at Ruby, had narrow escape
from being burned alive
1t. appears that Miss Gwaltney was
cleaning wooden garment with gaso-
line, when in the usual not under
standable manner the fluid became
ignited, enveloping her in flames.
With rare presence of mind she seized
rug off the floor, wrapped her head
and shoulders in it. Struggling
through the flames she at last sue
ceeded in gaining the outer air and
threw herself into a snow-bank, ex-
tinguishing the ames.
Miss Gwaltney was severely
burned about the face and arms and
her presence of mind is all that saved
her life, the whole interior of the
house being Quilted before the flames
could be put out. The unfortunate
young lady has the sympathy of the
whole of the Ruby section, as she was
immensely popular, both with the
adults as well as the children. Her
recovery is looked for within short
time, as the burns were OF super
fetal nature. The Light home, which
she is occupying, will require consid-
cradle repairs, as 1T was Quilted COM
