SUlHR WINNER BY SAFE MARGIN
 DECLARES TIMES

for the statement that former Dele gate Charles A. Sulzer has been elected to represent Alaska in Con- gress for the term beginning March 1, 1919. The Times bases it's state ment on both official and unofficial returns from every election precinct in the territory of Alaska. There was no election held at Crogiung, Naknek and Nushagak, in the Third division, and there will be no re- turns from them, according to re- ports from the westward.
 There is still conflict, admits the Cordova paper, in the reports from several precincts, but accepting in every instance the returns most favorable to Wickersham from every precinct where there is doubt and Sulzer's plurality in the territory | is 26. Accepting the returns most favorable to Sulzer and his plurality is 53. The outcome in the several divisions was: First division, Sul- Ger 69 plurality; Second, Wicker sham, 191; Third, Sulzer, 15O; Fourth, Sulzer ?.
 The complete returns also elect James A. Patterson, Democrat, over Joseph Murray, Republican, for rep resentative in the Third division. This position has heretofore been in doubt
 The election of Mir. Patterson gives the Democrats three repre- sentatives from each of the four divisions, and the Republicans one representative from each of the di- visions.
 The Democrats elected all of the territorial senators and all of the territorial road supervisors.
 The personnel of the territorial legislature will be as follows:

heart of their own long for the sight of
friends or those of the other fellows.
This is something that is hard to touch
upon because Of the history Of soldiers,
Especially victorious soldiers in for
eign land There is something that rises
| in the breast of the average man that
seems to hold him to the memory of
home and of those he has left behind, to
whom he hopes to return sometime, vic
| torions and mighty in his strength. That
tends to keep him from debasing him
self in any respect and if he can have
the right influences about him, some
thing to steady him in his reckless mo-
ments, something to keep the right pic
ture before his mind, he is safe any
where. Even shell-shot trenches, dug
outs in the ground, the bare walls of
wrecked villages are full of comfort for
him. 1t takes something like this to
make the average man come out of his
crust and display some of the qualities
that are wrapped up in every human
body. No man can claim that he is a
real man until he has lived out under
the stars and battled the elements at a
disadvantage to himself. We know that
some of us will never come back home
again. Many brave heart is stiIled
forever, but there are also those that
would to God were in their places to-
night that we might have clean hearts,
the hearts of men to send back to those
who have waited through these weary
months. It is a big job to be soldier,
but when we have soldier we have
man.
1t would hardly be fair to speak Of
being in France without mentioning the
hospitality of the French people. Let
me be quoted as saying that the French
people treat U. S. soldiers according to

that the folks in the States who deem
the Negro good enough to wear the uni
form of his country and to fight for his
country's honor and for che cause of
democracy, will not feel themselves
above him when he comes back and the
danger is over. He has put his life on
the altar of his country to protect it
and he will not hesitate to look out for
himself, if there is cause for display
or his fighting spirit. The spirit of fair
ness that seems to permeate the hearts
of all F'renchmen is the only thing that

| Dear Friend: Wishing you Merry
| Christmas and Happy New Year ! find
it a great pleasure to put myself in Des
Moines with you and attend with you
the Christmas exercises at the church.
Our Christmas here will be more or less
one of the mind, which after all is per-
haps the best way to observe it. We
4 are thankful to be here, and we can
imagine the joy that must prevail in the
States this Christmastide, because of
the fact that we are here and the war is
over And it is our hope that those
| whose loved ones will not return will
find consolation in knowing that the
| world is better because of their sacri-
| fee. 81.
Our regiment (the old 9Th Illinois)
| received over one hundred Croix de
| Gucrre and d. S. C.'s, also seven medals
of honor. This is very good record.
Our sister egiment, the 369th (15th n.
I'D Infantry has especially distin-
| guished itself. The 372nd made a very
| good record, so you see the 93rd Divis
| ion is proud of itself. Our regiment led
the advance to Belgium, and the 369th
led the advance to Germany.
We have done lots of walking. We
started in at Scissors on the 18th of
September, went through to Belgium,
and walked back until again we find
ourselves.at scissors; but this time we
are OH our way to the boat
We will be in scissors nearly two
weeks, then we shall go to LIE Mans and
thence to some port
We are living in a large chateau and
enjoying all the pleasures of country
gentlemen. In view of the fact that the
other large buildings in scissors are de-
molished we are at loss to know Just
why this place is intact. You know we
are very suspicious of whole structures
in this section. One funny incident
about our return. We had done thirty
six kilometers and were dead tired.
When we arrived in Froidmont-C ohar-
tile we We're told to FIVE kilometers
further to >Barrenton-s sur Serre. On ar
irving we billeted our men and all five
Of us made rush for the only whole
building in the town. We slept well and
left the next morning for Vesneuil. That
afternoon one OF our men, returning for
some forgotten article, found the house
fenced In and a sign proclaiming, the
presence OF a large mine in the base
ment.
| AT Froidmont Cohartile, where our
third battalion was stationed, the vii
lage church blew up the evening Of the
day they had morning services in it.
But all those things do not dampen
our ardor, for we are on our way home
and we will come near bring our req.

The American apple owes much to
the care of the Indian farmers, for the
Indian was an able pomologist. 1t was
not unusual $50 years ago for Indian
orchards to have 1,5OO trees, which
Ill had been duly pruned and cult
rated by the people we are prone to re-
gard as nomadic ~avages. The peach
and ounce were also cultivated by
them in later years. To the world the
Indian introduced such fruits as the
persimmon, the pawpaw, the pineapple
md the Virginia strawberry.

eat. You feel sorry for us because you
have things that we do not have to eat.
Save your sympathy! That is not it at
all. While there have been times when
we have eaten corned beef and hard
tack until our stomachs revolted, we
have seen so few of those times that we
can hardly complain. Those times have
faded into the past like the ghosts Of
fallen legions-we know them no more.
Can you imagine us eating buttered
toast and jam? Well, whether you can
or not, that is what has been true for
some time, owing to our own excess sup
ply Of francs of course. We use our
money to advantage in this way and the
Y. M. G. A., Red Cross and Salvation
Army tents are God-send in providing
us with such delicacies.
But there is one thing that we do
miss-I am speaking of our own organi-
cation now-and that is church and the
fair sex. Perhaps it is well to say that
they are one and the same, but that is
my way of putting it. We have no
chaplain and we have never been where

Halt the Profiteering

[F'rom the Scranton Republican,
First in the program of recon-
struction which demands the earn
est attention of the American peo-
pie, is the reduction of the neces-
saries of life. The high cost OF nv
ing is the main cause OF the pre-
valent anxiety and unrest, ana tne
solution of this problem must pre-
cede the settlement of the many
other questions that are agitating the
public mind.
The men in control of supplies
must realize that war prices for the
essential commodities cannot con-
tinue In time of peace. Thcy
should address themselves to a COM
mon sense readjustment of values
on a pIe-war plan, so that Industry
and commerce may be relieved ana
the purchasing power of the dcllGr
restored to something like what II
was before this country entered the
world conflict.
The increased cost of living makes
for other increased demands, and
those in turn add to the price OF pro-
duction, and the addition of fur-
ther price increase for supplies
making n circle which shows no
limit. 1t is evident, therefore, that
prices must come down in order to
restore normal conditions and sta
bilize industrial enterprise.
In an address delivered few
days ago at Niagara Falls by Isaac
Newton Stevens, president OF the
Commonwealth Casualty Company,
he reviewed the prevailing economic
unrest in broad terms. one of his
practical suggestions was that prof
iteering should be dealt with in the
same manner as usury. He says,
there is no reason why the man
who loans you money, at usurious
rates, should go to Jail, while the
man who takes it away from you at
four times usurious rates for the
necessaries of life should be regard
ed as Il social or moral or political
leader and go unpunished."
After discussing the subject from
various angles Mr.. Stevens says: IF
we are to expect the conquest of the
world, commercially and spiritually,
we must conquer greed and eXtrava-
gance and lack of system in our own
transactions" The first duty is to
cut out profiteering and reduce the
cost of living to a reasonable basis.
