to be amused or frightened when she
reflected that among such her life

that. But--they were picturesque

COMPERS URGES POLICY BE ONE
 FOR PROGRESS

WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.-R-The American Labor delegation now at Paris and which is headed by Sam. uel Gompers has wired to the Amer. ican Federation of Labor in Ameri. ca to urge upon congress the neces. sity of putting governmental affairs into constructive position rather than passing one.
 The wire bears the recommends. tion that private building of all sorts should be resumed immediate. ly. Those ships which are in the course of construction should also be completed at the earliest possible date. All agencies of employment should be made to be operative that no condition of unrest, such as ex- ists in Europe at the present time, may be started.
 The delegation believes that now Is the time for America to strike out for what is due 1t and have 1t in hand when the reconstructive period is working all over the world. Com. pers predicts that keen competition between the nations will result after the war is finally over.

ACTION TAKEN BY GOVERNOR FOR DISCHARGE OF ENLISTED
 MEN; INSTRUCTIONS ON WAY

That action is being taken for the discharge of the enlisted of Alaska from military service is evidenced by the following telegram received from Governor Riggs last evening:
 Juneau Alaska February 26, 1919. Citizen, Fairbanks.
 "The following telegram has been received from the general commanding the department and is in sponse my request that Alaska soldiers be given early discharge possible:
 "'Foowing order mailed January 18th to commandants of all military posts in Alaska: Effect discharge under general nductions of all drafted in mi- tary organizations in Alaska who eligible for discharge under provisions circulars 7 and l86 w. D., l98 and circular w. D. lo19 provided their services be spared and travel from present station practicable HARRIS"'
 "The letter should reach the commanding officer at Fort Gibbon by March first. RIGGS, Governor"
 The above would indicate that action is being talk to effect the discharge of the service in AL aska It is than likely that the stationed Me- and Fort Gbbon will be mustered of service early in March, The only condition imposed s-can their vices be spared and travelling conditions such that they can make the trip to their homes
