AN ACCIDENT STARTED THE
 Y. M. C. A.

It was in 1s44 when George Will Hams, a dry-goods merchant of Lon don, thought it would be good idea for some of the young men in his business to have a Bible
 reading class. This class succeeded, and the clases started in Glasgaw and London by David Naismith were merged in idea and the first Y. M. C. A. became known under that name in Glasgaw. In 1904 Mr Will Hams was knighted; he passed away the following year. The Y. M. C. A. is stronger in Germany in its total branches, which umbered, at the last count, 2129, than in any other coutry. But the total membership at the beginning of the war was only 125,000, while only 142 branch es have their own buildings. The membership and real estate holdings of the '. M. c. A. in the United States are larger than in any other country. Over 100 million dollars are invested in Y. M. c. A. build ings in this country and the mem bership is over six hundred thousand. The Y. W. C. A. also began in

securing favorable and speedy ac- tion on the request of Secretary Lane.
 With matters of great national importance crowding the committee men, as must be the case at this time, Alaskans might reasonably have expected some delay in at tracing attention to our railroad. But nothing of the kind has hap pened. Cur needs have received consideration ahead of many ques- tions of equal and greater import ance to the nation, and we have not heard of any opposition during the time that the railroad matter has been before the committee.
 Such an suspicious start augers well for territorial development. The Republicans, who now control Congress, seem disposed, at the very commencement of the session, to give Alaska a chance. They are ready, and even eager, to judge by the action of the appropriations committee, to provide ample funds for the completion of the railroad which received its start during a Republican administration. We ap- pear to be moving ahead again, after months of uncertainty. Let us hope that there will be no more to Alaskan progress.

ED MORRISSEY LANDS
 "-- .: GOOD KETCHIKAN JOB

In a letter addressed to friends in Nenana, Edward G. Morrissey, former Fairbanks newspaperman, states that he has located perman- ently at Ketchikan, where he is as- sociated with Bernard M. Stone in editing the Ketchikan Times.
 Morrissey came to Alaska as a member of the signal corps, bought out of the service to become city editor of the Fairbanks Times, and later served in a similar capacity on the News-Miner. He gave up that position a year ago to become pivate secretary to the late Dele gate Sulzer, and when Emil Hurja, the delegates regular secretary, was released from army service, Nor rissey entered the employ of the Seattle P.-I., and made quite a rec ord for himself.
 The offer of better position on the Ketchikan paper, however, has caused him to return to Alaska, and he says he is in the North to stay this time.

SOLDIER SHOW
 MAKES HI IN
 FRENCH CAPITAL

PARIS.-"Go to Paris! Why, these American officers won't let a fellow go to Paris unless he's got leave signed by Pershing him self with gold ink"
 This Is one of the most popular lines in Let's Co.,, the soldier show which recently delighted thousand of American soldiers in Paris and has moved off to ports of embarkation to give the home going troops farewell performances.
 Let's Go" is described as a martial, mirthful, musical barrage in six volleys." The fun starts on a camouflaged ship which arrives at a port in France with American soldiers, takes them to the western front. and finally lands them in 9 cafe in Paris.
 The trials and tribulations of privates, Red Cross nurses, Young Mems Christian Association girls, Salvation Army lasses and other war workers are followed through the trenches and hospitals. Miss Eiffell Tower chats with Miss Liberty Finally male representa- tives of each branch of the mill tary service lay their claim to having won the war, but are over shadowed by the women warwork- CTS, who declare victory was due to their efforts.
 Paris most famous modistes and milliners contributed the hats and gowns which converted youthful privates into fascinating nurses and cafe favorites who rival the beauty choruses in the regular Paris re- vues.
 Such songs as Bring Me Blonde for Breakfast" and T Never Travel Round Without a Jazz" de- lighted General Pershing no less than hundreds of other American officers who crowded the Theater Champs Elysees and joined with the enlisted men in their funmak- ing, largely directed at the officers.

FORWARD MOVEMENT

Notwithstanding the fact that Alaska is without regularly elected represenative at the national capital, the interests of the territory appear to be well looked after. And it is also apparent, from press dispatches received from Washington, that there is a disposition, on the part of the members of the house appro- priations committee, to give special cosideration to requests for aid to promote the development of our Northern territory. This Is lndl- cated by the very prompt and fav- orable action on the requests of Secretary Lane for funds to con- tinue work on the railroad until the end of the fiscal year.
 Two things are suggested by the committees action. One is that those members of the new Congress composing the house appropriations committees are ready to give Alaska a chance to develop. The other is that the territory has a very ale spokesman in the person of J. L. McPherson. who appeared before the committee for the purpose of informing the lawmakers relative to Alaskan coalitions and needs, and who doubtless assisted materially in
