THE SOLDIER AND THE LEAGUE.

One aspect of the League of Nations ques-
ton that has received surprisingly little atten-
ton is the attitude of the soldiers toward it.
In view of the huge numbers of men actively
engaged in the war and soon to return to ci
william life and influence, this is likely to be an
important factor in the final decision
These men have not been conining all their
attention to the fighting. In the long lulls OF
battle and even during battle, they have been
doing heap of thinking about the causes of
war and national and international affairs in
general Such is the testimony of Philip Gibbs,
who is considered by many the ablest and most
clear-sighted war correspondent this conflict has
produced, and who has made thorough first
hand study of the British and French soldiers in
the field
They have talked all these things over, he
says. 'They know how to express their desires
in what will later be the most concrete kind of
is the day toward which all statesmen are look
ing There will be a new element to reckon
with in politics.
And what will they do about this world fed
Grafton business? Mr. Gibbs has doubts
about the troops with whom he has spent the
last four years.
Both the French and the British soldiers
have set their hearts on some form OF a League
of Nations. They want to get rid of the great
conscript armies, of military service periods, OF
high taves for armament, of secret diplomacy
with it's dirty little treaties. They say that all
the nations of Europe have been driven by the
German menace to keep barrel of gunpowder
in the cellar. They want that barrel of gum
powder taken out and blown up, and they don't
want a new barrel"
And does anyone suppose that the Ameri
can soldiers feel any differently about it? If
so, just ask them they come back home

STOPTHIEF!

Are you sne.king through the alleys
these days with your American citizen
ship? Are you the kind of fellow
who brings the cry OF Stop Thief
from honest citizens?
You are unless you have taken your
share of the Victory Loan or honestly
intend to do so before May 10. You
are stealing your citizenship.
Don't forget that. It's as true as
God made little apples. And don't
forget that your neighbor and the fel-
low who works with you in shop or
Office is Judging you.
A prominent Pacific Coast banker, a
real American citizen who lost his only
son in the war. said the other day:
ITO my dying day when a man
comes to my office for a loan I'm
going TO ask him if he subscribed tC
every Liberty Loan If he hasn't, he
won't be able to borrow one red cent
from our house, no matter if he offers
one hundred per cent interest"
That's how hard he believes in
America.
Don't forget right now you are max
ing or breaking your reputation in this
community. We are not going to for
get. The fathers and mothers of the
boys who were lost or wounded won't
let us forget what each and every one
of us do in this Victory Loan.
They are going to cry stop Thief =

A BOURGEOIS UNION.

Something new in the form of an economic
organization has appeared in England. 1t is
union of the "bourgeois' mddle-class people,
formerly prosperous and contented, but in re-
cent years ground between the upper and neither
milstones of the captalistic class and the labor
ing class
They are made up mostly of professional
men, small business men, school teachers, ETC.
men who earn "salaries,'' instead of wages"
and whose incomes have been getting smaller
as result of rising prices charged for COM
n1odites and higher rates charger for labor.
The other classes, in the main, have both been
able to take care of themselves The middle
class has been the helpless prey of both of them.
So the Middle Class Union" is formed pro-
Tossing these purposes:
''To remove undue burdens resting upon the
middle class, including the cost of living.
''To protect the middle class against bureau
cratic and industrial tyranny.
'To combine for the common protection of
those members of the community who have no
organization to safeguard their interests"
The same class has been having hard sled
ding in Germany, for similar reasons, though
what the Germans are doing about it few out
SiderS knOW-Or care.
There is no such distinctly marked middle
class in America as in England. We have very
much the same sort of problem, however, press
ing upon men and women whose salaries have
remained stationary, or nearly so, while the
general price-level has risen menacingly. Will
they too, be obliged to organize after the man.

IAN EDITORIAL
HELP-WOMEN!

These are the last days of the Vic.
tory Loan-the last days of the last
Liberty Loan. Yet there are some
among us who have not seen the way
of duty, whose ears have not heard
the call of America.
Herein lies a great opportunity for
women workers in the Loan-to search
these out, to make their eyes see, and
to make their ears hear. The argu
ment OF sweet, noble woman is I'M
answerable.
Carter Glass, secretary of the treas
ury, says of woman's work in the
Loan:
Having demonstrated what they
could do in time of war, the women
Of America have been quick to un
derstand that the cessation Of hostil
tiles did not end the obligations in
Cured in actual warfare. 1t is with
confidence that the Government asks
every woman of the nation TO become

FAMOUS WAR FLAG
FOR FIRST STATE
in VICTORY LOAN
Emblem that Flew When War
Was Declared to Go to State
With Best Record

The flag that floated over the capitol
building at Washington when Congress
declared war on Germany will be pre-
scented to the state attaining the high
est percentage of oversubseription of
its quota in the Victory Loan. Already
ii is a historic relic.
Not only was this flag flown during
the passage of the war resolution, but
twice before, the first time during
President Wilson's second inaugural,
March 5, 1917, and the second time
while the president was making his
plea before Congress for war on Ger
many, April .. 1917.
Elliott Woods, superintendent of the
capitol building, gave the flag to the
Treasury Department which will make
the award.
In years to come many a pilgrimage
will be made to the capitol building
of the state winning it as a prize in
the Victory Loan.

officially and publicly admitted by the
federal official in charge TIE leas-
ing system has been Gin part a fail
ure" in Alaska; time has been wasted;
money has been lost, and for what
purpose? Just to satisfy the clamor
of a set of doctrinalres, Missionaries
and political sure-thing men who
made monkeys out of a COED proper
ton of the intelligent electorate Of
the United States.
It's an old, old issue, this so-called
conservation" but we cannot forego
calling attention to the fact that there
are many, many individuals con-
ago were shattering the dome Of
heaven with their cries The word
loot" was in great favor then; every
body who did not agree with thcm
Wcs footing the public domain or
about to loot it. Posterity was being
trimmed at scandalous rate. There
was Controller bay; vast wealth was
there in oil, harbor sites ard other
natural resources, all being stolen.
We just got in on time tc save the
wealth of Controller bay from the
bandits of big business And how
wonderfully Controller bays re-
sources have been developed. Con
slider the vast quantities of oil that
have been shipped from that port;
what wonderful harbor facilities have
been developed; how all the surround
ing territory is thriving. Consider
also the Matanuska and Boring coal
fields, how they are supplying all the
west coast OF North America with
cheap fuel. Go into any bungalow in
Seattle and ask the furnace tender
how happy he is by reason of the Alas
ka coal laid down here so cheaply by
reason of the governments careful
protection of Alaska's natural re-
sources. Truly, as one commentator
government might as well have pro-
vided that the coal must be mined
with oyster forks. The resources OF
Alaska have been saved; saved as the
Russians saved them before us, and
as the aborigines saved them before
the Russians, for hundreds of thou
sands of years.
This bit of nonsense is in fair way
to be corrected and to be forgotten
In the meantime the same wiIl-o'-the
whisp chasers are in full pursuit in
other directions. 1t will take about
ten years to catch up with them, as it
did this Alaska coal leasing business.
