Nearly 100 years ago Spain decid-
ed To send an armed force to Ire
land TO aid her in her effort to free
herself from the yoke of British rule.
II does not matter what the motive
was behind SPANS action, the result
would have been beneficial 10 Ire
land.
Later France sent an expidition-
AIRY force TO the aid of Ireland.
Again it does not matter what the
motive for Frances action may
have been. Now, under the terms
of Article TO-. which guarantees the
integrity of a member of the leagues

or France or any other nation de-
sire to send an armed force 10 aid
ireland. the United States and all
other members of the league would
DE forced TO send troops against the
country desiring TO send external aid
TO ireland.
You may say that this does not
matter SO much. But 1 ask YOU,
would America have gained her in
dependence if France had not sent
Lafayette TO the colonies; would
they have been able to gain their in

FAIRBANKS CLUB
 TAXES ACTION ID
 AID MEN IN ARMY

A telegram has been sent by the Fairbanks Commercial club to Dele gate Wickersham, who is now at Washington, D. C., requesting him to see that something is done, at once, for the relief of the Alaska boys who are now being discharged from the army.
 It had been reported to the Fair banks Commercial club that dis charged Alaskan soldiers at Camp Grant, Illinois, are given $16O to serve as passage money back to their homes in Alaska, an amount that is not sufficient for this pur- pose.
 The delegate has been instructed to see the war department about this matter at once, and endeavor to have special arrangements made for the passage of these men. The small amount allowed by the war department in lieu of passage it is thought is due to the ignorance of conditions on the part of the army heads and that the delegate can set them right on this point.
