the Three CROSSES
The iron cross is black as death and
hard as human hate;
The wooden cross is white and still
and whispers US. TOO Late"
But the Red Cross sings of life and
love and hearts regenerate.
The iron cross is boastful cross and
marks the war-mad slave;
The wooden cross is dumb, dead
cross and marks shallow grave,
But the Red Cross reaches out its
arms to solace and to save.
The iron cross is kaiser's cross and
narrow is its clan;
The wooden cross is a soldiers cross
and mourns its partisan,
Eut the Red Cross is the Cross OF One
who served his fellowman.

We have gone through a very trying period during the last two years,' he con- tinued, "and this is time for read 'ustment The sooner conditions re urn to the normal status that ex sted before the war, the better it will be for all concverned."

 MT. Strong came to Juneau at the invitation of Gov. Riggs to appear before the transportation committee )f the Senate and House relative to he proposed Territorial shipping leg station. Mir. Strong was invited because of his knowledge of the transportation business and large in 'erests in Alaska. He appeared be lore the joint committee Tuesday evening and opposed the proposed legislation.
 Rates Are Too High
 MT. Strong said the rates--par sicularly since the last raise. are toe high, but he said private enterprise should be encouraged to enter the field with transportation lines and thus force the rates down through competition. He said he had taken steps to protect himself, and will not pay $750 a ton for the transporta tion of fish to Seattle. He thought it would be possible for a few men in each town to get together and make arrangements for handling freight on a basis that would be cheaper than the tariffs of the regu lar lines of steamships operating in Alaska, and eventually compel the

 The Government railroad is completed to such an extent that the Matanuska coal fields are accessible When the mining facilities are provided, the coal may be shipped the coast readily.

WHEN LUDENDORF DEsPAIRED

Gen. Ludendorfs statement as given in extracts from his forthcoming book, that he up hope of military victory after the combined British and French attack of August is not surprising.
 It is true that the date he sets was only about s1 days the Allied offensive began but Germany big offensive earlier in the spring and cummer had been a do-or-de affair. All the world, outside of Germany was convinced that the loss that campaign was the loss of the war, for German strength had then passed its zenith and the United States was only beginning Turkey whipped and so was Bulgaria while Austria barely counted as Teuton1c asset .
 It is interesting however to learn that this Allied view of the matter also the official German view, and that August the end of the war the German Government sacrificing of thousands or men, not in hope of victory but anly in desperate enort to avoid utter defeat and peace on dictated terms

Washington, Aug 1o.--Fteld Marshal

GERS have been in China since early
spring, training a Chinese army OF
5.0o0.90o men. according to information
contained in letter DR. +. L. Scharf.
Of Washington. announced today that
he had just received from his brother
in Germany. This was one OF the hrst
letters known to have been received
here since the resumption OF mail ser
vice between the United States and Ger
n any.
Press dispatches from Germany and
nearby neutral countries for the past
several months have been consptcu-
ousiy lacking in references to the
whereabouts and activities of Field
Marshal Won Mackensen. who became
one of the most popular of the Ger
man commanders as result of his
successful operations in Rumania.
The letter was written in German.
According to DR.. Scharfs translation
1t stated:
General Mackensen has just re-
turned from China. where he went
early in the spring, at the invitation
Of the Chinese government. with
| S 900 German officers to organize and
Grill an army of 100000 men.
The letter went on to explain. DR..
scharf said, that the field marshafs
object in returning to Germany at this
time was to secure additional officers
for the work in China. He expects to
return to China at an early date and
&C ntinue the intensive training on an
even more elaborate scale.
DR.. Scharf has been in this country
for about forty years. He said he took
the oath Of allegiance to the United
States about seven years after his ar
rival. He was formerly a professor In
the Catholic university here and nun,
bers among his friends many men
prominent in public life.
