SOLDIERS LOOKING FORWARD TO SEASON
 FOR DUCK SHOOTING


 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OF OCCUPATION, June 3, - Amer ican soldiers fond of wild game hunting are looking forward to July 1st., when the season for duck, snipe, blower, wild swan, cranes and other swamp and bog game fowl begins. It was decided recently by Third Army officers that the sol diers of the Army of Occupation should abide by the German regula- tions regarding wild game. The open season for birds of the swamp will be the first opportunity of the Summer for the Americans to try their hand at this kind of shooting. But the American soldier will not be allowedsto have the pleasure or eating the game after he has nad victory in the field. To prevent the soldiers from5 depicting the food supply of the country all meat ob- .tained as a result of hunting by my army personnel will be turned over to the poor people of the local ity in which the game was Kiiieo.

Delegate-elect George B. Grigsby expects to leave for Washington next week-probably on the first steamer to sail from Juneau. He is still in the hospital, on account of a carbunkle, under the care of Dr. L. o. Sloane, and will start for the East as soon as Dr. Sloane gives him per mission to do so.
 MT. Grigsby is confident that he will be seated in Congress as soon as he gets his certificate of election, and he believes that he will have little difficulty in winning the con test. permission to institute which has been asked by Judge James Wickersham.
 Mrs. Grigsby and the children will remain at Juneau for the summer, at least, where they are domiciled in the Wettrick residence.

UNIVERSITIES OF GREAT BRITAIN ARE
 AGAIN FILLING UP

WASHINGTON, June 3. - The great Universities of England whose student bodies and teaching staffs were greatly depleted by service in the army or in government offices during the war are again filling with students and resuming normal life. This is shown by letter re- ceived here by Lieutenant-Colonel J. c. Fanthorpe of the British En- bassy from A. L. Smith, Master of Balliol College, Oxford. New schools are being opened at Oxford and plans for greater efficiency are be- ing put into effect, he writes.
 According to the Master of Bal liol, Oxford sent approximately 12,- 900 of it's men to the war or into the Government service. Of these 2,394 were killed and 100 are miss ing. More than 4,000 won honors in the war including Is Victoria Crosses. The figures of Cambridge University would be about the same the writer estimates.

CLAD TO PAY !
COST OF PEACE
Millions of Lives Saved by Vast
Military Preparation of Our
Government.
FOE knew and QUIT COLD
These life-Saving Bills Must Be Paid
and the Boys Brought Bac.,
to the Country They :
Love.

"The price of peace" of which the
Victory loan is but part, is large, but
not nearly so large as II would have
been had the war been fought to the
humiliation of the German armies
as our military leaders believed would
be necessary. Had the war lasted as
long as these leaders anticipated, hun
dreds of thousands of American youths
and millions more of their allies would
have been called upon to pay the SUI
preme sacrifice.
That they were not forced to give
their lives is In no small measure due
to our governments preparations to
crush the enemy completely. The In
dustry as well as the man power of
the nation was called into the govern
ment service, and a great war machine
was created which the German general
staff saw meant complete humiliation
for their forces If they fought on. so
they quit.
There were in France when the arm
istice was signed. 2,002,175 officers and
men wearing the United States uni
form. In the states there were more
than 100000 more in training or
awaiting shipment overseas. This
army had 100000 rifles and 10000
600 rounds of ammunition in France
when the armistice was signed. There
were 221 100000 additional rounds on
boats en- route to France at this time.
These figures do not deal in anything
but infantry equipment.
Smokeless powder was being deliv-
cred at the rate of 100000 pounds a
week and high explosives at the rate
of 100000 pounds. We had on hand
when the war closed, 419 tons of mus
tard gas, enough to load $4,000 shells
654 tons of phosgene, 511 tons of
chloropicrin, ego tons of white phos-
phorous for incendiary bombs, 303
tons of fannie tetrachlorde. and 153
tons of titanium tetrachloride. We had
enough gas to smother the German
army. On the defensive side the gov
eminent had developed the best gas
mask known, and had produced 5,0SJs-
600 Of them.
We had built 2,010 ten-ton caterpil-
lar tractors and 1856 l5-tOn machines
for hauling great guns. There were
$1,000 more of these under construc-
ton when the war ended. They had

demonstrated their ability to drag the
heaviest mortars, howitzers and rifles
over any terrain, no matter how badly
cut up or how wet.
Ten thousand Ford "baby" tanks
equipped with two Ford engines,
would have been on the front line by
the time the Victory Liberty loan is to
be fioated. They would have been sup
ported by thousands of the French
"whippet" type tanks and the big 3d.
ton American tanks driven by Liberty
motors.
We had In France and In use at the
army at home, 57,607 trucks Of two,
three and FIVE tons capacity, 11,476
ambulances, 1875 motorcars and 90
421 motorcycles.
Our merchant marine was growing
at the rate of 100000 tons dead weight
per month when the war ended, and
we were turning out about 10000 air
plane engines week, with planes
to carry them.
German spies found this out. Ger
man spies knew that the U-boat had
failed because of the barrage of mines
that the British and American navies
had strung across the North sea. Ger
man spies sent word to the general
stat that In spite of their best efforts
to check the Americans at the home
base. they were outgeneraled. SO the
German staff learned that the Ameri-
cans had thrown their unlimited re-
sources into the scales with the allies,
and the German staff turned yellow"
and quit.
That mighty preparation of which
the above Is but fragmentary tale. Is
the reason why the Victory Liberty
loan is the last of the war loans. Had
the war gone on there would have
been fifth, sixth. q seventh, an
eighth loan-loans until the German
hordes had been crushed and sent back
into the heart of the fatherland. The
need for these was eliminated by the
mailed fist of our great preparation.
which supplemented the gigantic eff
forts put forth by our allies.

and hope it finds you all the same.
We had quite a snowfall today, but

it is 700 p. m. | suppose you are just
having your dinner now, so you see
we are some ahead of your time and it
will soon be time for us to turn in. l
have been around the billet all day and
did not visit the city this evening so
that is the reason ! happen to be writ
ing you letter as there is nothing else
to do. The Company got mail tonight
but | did not get any for the first time
in quite awhile. l got letter from
aunt Lizzie in Toledo and one from
aunt Effie in Flint, the first of the
week, and have got to answer them
tonight or tomorrow night. How is
Lyle getting along in Flint, or don't he
write very often. have wrote him
two letters in the past month and have
not heard from him, so tell him to get
busy and write as would like to hear
from him. suppose Dee is still stay
ing at home. Is Ethel still going to
school? | see by the paper that some
OF the troops of the 85th are on their
way home, but we are still in Germany
and | guess we will be for some time
yet by the way it looks, oh well, l guess
we will start for the U. S. some time
this summer anyway. Well, mother,
there isn't much news to write about

Senator Lodge, in his recent debate
on the league of nations with President
Lowell of Harvard, insisted that had
the President taken the Senate into his
confidence, laid the draft OF the leagues
constitution before it, and asked for
advice, he would have had amend
ments laid before him that could have
been submitted to the peace conference
at Paris as an indication of what the
Senate was prepared to approve. If
MIR. Wilson had taken that course he
would have followed the example Of
Andrew Jackson, Grant, George Wash
ington, and Abraham Lincoln. "And
in the path that George Washington
and Abraham Lincoln have walked, ="
said Mr.. Lodge, "there is no man too
great to tread"
In the opinion of the Senator the
battle for a league of nations would
have been more than half won had the
President departed from his habit of re-
lying solely on his own judgment, and
said to the Senate, 81 submit this draft
to you for your advice, hope for your
approval, and for such suggestions as
you may have to make" But instead
of that he not only did not lay the
leagues constitution before the Senate,
but he refuses to call the Senate to-
gether now to consider it.
The course pursued by the President
from the first is one calculated to pro-
woke hostility to his draft of the league.
Opposition to the proposal could have
been minimized had he consented to
share with the Senate the responsibility
of framing the document, as contem-
plated by the Constitution of the United
States. That he has not done, but has
placed before the country readymade
league constitution that he declares to
be perfect and that he will not consent
to amend. Naturally such a course is
resented by Senators. The Presidents
arrogant assumption that his individual
wisdom is superior to that of ninety
six Senators has served to create a
much more solid opposition to his
wishes than would have been the case
had he treated them with the considera-
ton that their place in the treaty-mak-
ing power of the government demand

ALL REPUBLICANS URGED
TO ENLIST in
VICTORY LOAN DRIVE
Nations Next Great Duty
Says Chairman Hays.

Washington, ID. c., Apr. 14.-Chair-
man Will H. Hays, of the Republican
National Committee, today issued call
to all Republicans urging their united
and effective support of the Victory
Loan. While the call is publicly issued
to all Republicans, it was also sent
directly and personally to all Republi-
can national committeeman, state chair
men, all state organization workers, all
county chairmen and all precinct COM
mitteemen and to all Republican news
papers, asking them to suspend all
political activities until the success OF
the loan had been assured.
The test of the appeal reads:
To the Republicans of the Nation:
Again the call for the charge has
sounded.
This is not for the fighting men at the
fighting front. For them the war is
over. Their part is accomplished to
their own everlasting honor and the
glory of the nation, and no additional
rvrQen Sh0uld De theirs.
But to the rest the real test has come.
To those whose privilege it has been
to form the second line, and to whose
credit it is recorded that they, too, at
tanned every objective; to. those from
every class, creed and political faith,
who acted in that unselfish cooperation
which brought to the fighting men the
support that made so much for the
complete vindication of our institutions;
to the men and women of America,
who do not fail, has this call come.
Let US show to these fighting men
who have returned how commands
have been obeyed here. Let us send
to the fighting men still abroad the
message of no weakening. Let us
show to the world that our patriotism
is not that born only of extremities and
stirred only by martial music, but the
devotion which meets duty in the
firm determination of consecrated SER
vice, and performs it. And let us
demonstrate to ourselves that we are
worthy OF the name American and the
privileges of our citizenship.
Our first duty as Republicans today
ist hat duty which we have never failed
and never will fail to anticipate and
discharge-our duty as Americans.
Just as during the recent war we de-
termined our every act by how we
could do most for effective action, so
now we will measure our every step
by how we can contribute most to the
Nations welfare.
To that end we will abandon all
other activities to aid in the Victory
Loan until its success has been accom-
plished
For this purpose let the Republican
Press and every member of the Re-
publican organization enlist in the Vic
tory Loan drive. The national, state,
county, city and precinct organization
of loyal working Republicans will en-
roll to man in this service.
This is the nations next great duty.
1t is our privilege to exhaust the posi-
bilities in our same splendid support,
with the knowledge that those who
may oppose us in political strife are
joining fully with us in this effort.
WILL Ii. HAYS,
Chairman,
Republican National Committee.
