INFLUENCE OF THE MILITARY CAMP

Military discipline in the United States Army under modern conditions extends not merely to the enforcement of rules govnrninn personal conduct and fulflIment of duty but to the preservation of health as we'll. There
 were many soldiers in the American Army in France who criticized the severity of some of the regulations imposed by General Pershine. but, viewing the good results in the retrospect. they and their parents have good reason to pralse the efforts made to guard the nations
 defenders from a foe even worse than that bearing arms. This feature of military pre- caution was mentioned briefly in an address delivered some time ago by Secretary of War Weeks. He said, in part:
 "Mothers and fathers frequently protests Iagainst exposing their boys to the 'dangerous' influences of military camps. They fear that the boys mi ght become dissipated We reply to these parents that the records of the Sur geon General show that there is a prevalence of social diseases among the young men of our country, straight from their own homes, that constitutes shocking menace to our national existence. The influence of the military camp lis continual education against the dangers Iof incorporate life
 "While the soldier is in camp, he is pro- tected in every possible way from these Idemoralizing diseases-by education, by dis |ciplinary measures, and by prompt treatment of those who can not resist nor escape. The American Army in France was accordingly able to establish such low record of disease that our Allies were astonished. We have continued to progress in handling this grave problem and I believe that one of the greatest benefits which can be conferred upon national life through military training will be the
 effectual control of this menacing evil. The first step is to instruct those who didn't know it.
 "The statements that I have just made are
 sometimes questioned by individuals who re-
 member the disease rates which prevailed in
 our armies in former wars The reply IS that we have been progressing. During the Civil War smallpox claimed over 1000 soldier
 victims; during the Spanish American War
 and the Philippine insurrection there were 25S deaths from this disease; in the World
 War we lost 14 soldiers with small poX, al
 though there were 4OOO0O0 of them in serv ice. In the Civil War over 15,OOO men died from malaria, while during the World War we
 lost but 25. In the Spanish-American War 10000 soldiers, or 12 per cent of the total,
 suffered from typhoid fever; during the World
 War there were 2,000 cases, or about one- twentieth of one per cent Had the death
 rates for typhoid in the World War been the
 same as in 1898, we would have lost 6O0O0
 soldiers from this aone-more than we actual
 ly lost from all diseases"
 Secretary Weeks also pointed to the fact
 that the United States Army had cleared
 Havana of yellow fever, from which it had
 suffered for 150 years, and has converted
 Panama from pestiferous district into

CORDOVA MARCHES FORWARD WITH COURAGEOUS, PROGRESSIVE STRIDE

DUTIES OF CITIZENSHIP

That citizen who regards himself as a model of civic propreties because his present conduct is impeccable; but who does not CO., operate with the civil authorities or exert his influence in behalf of the best possible admin istraton of the laws, greatly overrates his usefulness as a citizen.
 Thus President Harding summed up recently his idea of the responsibility of the individual citizen for the proper administration of the laws of his country and his city. The message of the President was addressed to the citizens of the United States through Rotary Inter- national in connection with the eighteenth

INVISIBLE BALANCES

The fact that half the gold of the world is in the United States is of slight consequence in considering the ability of the Allied govern ments to pay their debts to this country. The flow of wealth from the United States to Europe is greater than the stream in the opposite direction The balance of trade as measured by the goods passing in and out of our ports is in our favor, but when we consider invisible exchanges between Europe and the United States and the indirect exchanges rep resented by American commerce with British. French, and other colonies, it is found that we are actually paying more money abroad than is being paid to us. That situation will very soon be reflected in a wider distribution of gold, and long before the expiration of the debt paying period there will be an ample gold supply in Europe with which to meet the obligations.

PULLING TOGETHER

''Our wheat ranks with the best in the world. The flour made from our wheat can not be excelled Our coal is eminenty sat
 isfactory for cook stoves, heaters or furnaces, and is cheaper and more conveniently than wood Our farmers wants us to use their products so that they may enjoy reasonable prosperity and be able to buy from the rest of us and pay their bills. Our coal dealers want us to learn the advantage of Alaska coal and desire us to test the quality of it for baking purposes" So deposes the Fairbanks News-Miner, and thereupon proceeds to an- nounce bread baking contest in which Fair banks coal and Fairbanks wheat will play the leading parts Bread is to be baked by Fairbanks housewives out of Fairbanks wheat over Healy River coal and the best loaf of bread is to be rewarded three tons of coal.
 Here is cooperation among local industries of the right sort. Boost each others home products! It is the best sort of business, the finest kind of civic enterprise, the most prac
 tical sort of patriotism. Here is the germ of an idea which, if propagated a general scale, would go a long way toward material izing Alaskan industries. There is no reason that anyone knows of why Fairbanks should not buy Cordova lumber, Cordova buy Fair banks flour; why Juneau snOuld not use Iledly River coal and Nenana buy Juneau salmon; why Anchorage should not eat Cordova clans and Cordova buy Matanuska vegetables. The sooner Alaskan communities begin to support each others local resources, purchasing Alas kan produce in preference to that. shipped in from the Outside, the more rapidly will the local markets encourage settlement and in- vestment, and the earlier will the Territory become disappearing. Sending Outside for most of our material needs is largely bad habit. Buying at home is not only better business because it is cheaper; it is the kind of co-operation that develops local industries which in turn make for a commonwealth in which every citizen shares. The building up of it's industries, thus providing labor for permanent population, is the basis of all de- velopment. Cooperation among individuals, business firms and communities will do it. It is high time Alaska began to keep some of her money and resources at home. Long enough has the Outside fattened off us In the bread and coal contest inaugurated at Fairbanks the rest of the Territory has been given a timely and significant object lesson.
