ATTEND THE GAME

/ At Exposition park this afternoon, the Fairbanks school girls, aided by some con scripts will put two baseball teams on the diamond in benefit contest for the proposed Memorial Gymnasium. Let everyone make it point of duty to get out there and give the girls big hand.
 Personally they deserve it. All summer they have boosted for the Fairbanks teams, both on the home lot and abroad. Much of the enthusiasm which has been exhibited it. the sport in the district during the season now closing was created by them. They hay: been loyal fans turnout the season even tho the team was not winning one.
 The cause for which they are playing is one close to every heart in the district. In- stead of erecting conventional monument to Fairbanks war dead, it has been proposed to build an up-to-date "gym'' on the local school grounds, dedicating it to the memory of those boys who passed on in the war, in this way perpetuating their memory in the minds and hearts of the coming generations of Fair banks. By supporting the game today you aid in this movement. Can you afford to neglect it?

THE ROAD LAW AGAIN

Opening up the remOter districts by the construction of roads and trails is one of the pieces of work that confronts the territory today. Up to few years ago, this work was under the direction of the Alaska Road Com mission when the territorial road commission was created and funds of the territory ex- pended by territorial officers, duly elected by the people.
 Under the cooperative road act passed by the last legislature the road work in the future goes back under the control of the Al aska Road commission.
 It was planned to do this last season, and the plans were partially carried out, and would have been put into effect completely had it not been that protests made by local organizations caused the work in the district to be left under the control of the divisional commissioner But it may be different next season. It is not improbable that all the road work will be under the Alaska Road commits sion.
 If The Citizen has been correctly in- formed, the big ma jority of the people in this district do not want this done They be- lieve that the best results can be obtained url- der the divisional commission system. They know that it will be next to impossible to get the same action under the new law that could be had under the old. They don't want to see the wages drop to the scale that the Alas ka Road commission paid to their employees on the Fairbanks -Chitina road during the past season.
 But unless some action is taken that is what is going to take place. It may be possible that, by addressing reasonable objections to the territorial bureau of roads, setting forth the grounds for such objections, fully, the old system will be allowed to remain in force. The time to take steps is the present. If you delay, it may be too late after the first of next year has arrived.

TIME TO ACT NOW

This season has been the poorest one in history for interior Alaska fishermen. As a result of the lightest catch ever recorded, both native and white will suffer this winter
 Reports from the lower Yukon river in dicate that the floating cannery operated by the Carlisle Packing Co.,, has had prosperous year, and it is generally believed, and with some foundation for such belief that it is the operation of that cannery that has been large ly responsible for the shortage of fish on both the Yukon and Tanana rivers.
 The lower Yukon plant was established two years ago. Coincident with its establish ment local interests called to the attention of the department of commerce the importance of the fish supply to the people of interior Alas ka and asked that steps be taken to insure the safety of such supply from depredations by the canners.
 It seems apparent that either the depart ment failed to take adequate steps, or else the cannery has gone beyond the limits set for its operation, and the latter case is unlikely as department agents have been on the scene all

DISCOVERY DAY

Yesterday-Sunday, August l7-mark- ed the twenty-third anniversary of the dis covery of gold on Bonanza creek That dis covery brot the Klondike to the attention of the world, and all time in the northern e1n- pire of Yukon and Alaska dates from that great day.
 Dawson celebrates the great discovery today. The celebration is under the auspices of the Yukon Order of Pioneers, comprised of the men who blazed the trail and laid the foundation of the empire of the North.
 Since the discovery of Klondike the plac- CTS of Dawson and vicinity have yielded the wealth of Montezuma to the world Many other great gold camps have been discovered in the Yukon since. Many other great min ing properties yet will be discovered. Yu- kons greatest day is ahead.
 Here's to the Pioneers, to the men who are developing Yukon, and to the sons of Yukoners who are yet to see her greater glory.
 Paragraphers engaged in the campaign to make Wilson unpopular are still quoting Senator Brandegee's statement that the Pres ident pocketed the treaty with France and attempted to prevent the American people from learning its terms while it was known to all in Great Britain. Yet the treaty word for word as it was printed in Great Britain was printed in full in all the afternoon Associated Press papers the day before it ap peared in the London Times A campaign based on deception never carries far.

ALI, "HET" UP

In three days from the time he left Washington on his present speaking tour, it is apparent that President Wilson has made such progress that he has produced more than mild uneasiness in the minds of those senators who are opposing the adoption of the covenant of the league of nations and proposing to amend the peace treaty before ratification. In fact the reception being given to MT. Wilson along the entire route seems to be about to cause an exodus from Washing ton on the part of certain republican sena- tors who, it is announced, will follow the Presidents route delivering speeches in an attempt to counteract those delivered by the chief executive.
 Nor are the fears which these lawmak- CTS entertain entirely unfounded. When MT. Wilson tells the American people that the league of nations, while not making all wars impossible, declares that it will reduce the chances of future strife and render great wars improbable they are going to believe him. And when he asserts that the oratory being spilled over the infringement of Ameri- can sovereignty" is just so much hot air; that the peace treaty does safeguard the Monroe

COMMITTEE RESERVATIONS

The reports of reservations being made concerning the peace treaty and the covenant of the league of nations it must be borne in mind are not relative to action by the senate as whole but merely accounts of committee proceedings. The reservations determined on' have been suggested and adopted by the senate foreign relations committee, by bare maj jority and the committees recommenda- tions on these matters will not find it easy sailing in the senate chamber
 The personnel of the committee, or rath- CT of the majority element of the committee, is such as to make it easily understandable how such recommendations could be adopted Senator Lodge, who has displayed more than political animosity toward President Wilson and whose partisan enmity toward the Presi dent has been so bitter as to arouse comment even by the republican press. Most of the ma jority party in the committee were selected by Mir. Lodge and he can depend upon them to support him in his proposals as to treaty reservation.
 But it will be different proposition when
 
 sbly one exception the democratic members can be depended on to support its unreserved ratification. A number of republican menl- bers have already expressed themselves in favor of unreserved adoption and will probably vote for such ratification. These men have deliberately chosen to be Americans first and republicans after, rather than fol- low the course of Lodge and his cohorts in being republicans and after that Americans
 For the senate to pass the reservations would be fraught with danger. Such reser vatons can only be made as suggestions to the President The senate has no power to insert them into the body of the treaty, but may refuse to ratify that document and ad- wise the President that it will do so, however, when the reservations it has suggested have been adopted by three out of the four great associated powers One of these powers England, has already ratified the treaty It has been reported favorably by the French peace committee from the French chamber and will probably be ratified within a short time Belguim has also ratified the treaty. For the President to inform them that the proposed reservations must be acted on, would be in effect to demand that negotiations be reopened.
 Commentators agree that such course would be disastrous, especially in Europe Already unsettled conditions would be aggra vated and perhaps produce serious revolutions in hitherto unaffected countries It would serve to weaken if not destroy the league of nations, which may be the thing aimed at by Lodge and his fellow workers Or it may mean that America will have to make separ ate peace with Germany. When three ma tions have ratified the treaty with Germany it is then in force. England has done so, France is ready to do so Japan will probably take favorable action in the near future and Belgium has already ratified it. While the senate hesitates the thing which it would de- stroy is being made an accomplished fact

EASY TO SEE ONES BRAIN

is not such an outlandish question as
one might suppose. In fact, it is quite
possible to see ones own brain, accord
ing to DR.. Fraser Halle, says London
Tit-Bits.
Many years ago Purkinge startled
the scientific world by announcing that
by passing a candle to and fro several
times by the side of the eye, this might
be done. The air in front, he declared,
was transformed into kind of screen
on which was reflected what he sup
posed to be n magnified image of part
of the retina.
This started research movement
among the scientists of the period, and
a controversy began.
Sir c. WheatstOne thought the pro-
fessor was slightly out of his bearings.
He declared that what the latter had
seen was merely the shadow of the
vascular network.
Then DR.. Fraser Halle returned to
the attack, and stated that ne had sue
ceedcd in identifying the picture with
the representation of the anterior lobe
of the cerebrum."
The candle should he moved to and
fro about four inches below the eve
and three and quarter inches from
