ones self. in your cause, and in your leaders, was stressed in a manner to make it's local application most effec- tive. The need of discipline, in the home, the church, the school, every department of life, was pointed out ir manner that brought it home.
 There are some men," he declared, "who blush with shame when they are asked to show spirit of discipline. Never blush with shame; step out il a spirit of pride. Every time you show your discipline, you are proving your Americanism. Incidents were portrayed in an effort to show the dis aster that follows lack of discipline.
 Efficiency is another great need of the day. The story of Petain, at Yer dun, in 1916, gave this argument a TO- mantle touch. Loyalty was regarded as the foundation of all things. Capt. Dancey told the story of Clemenceau, the Tiger of France" the man who placed his country first. 'If America is to succeed, as nation; if you peo- pie of Seward are going to be of any service to America or the cause of hu- manity or civilization, you are going to stand on one rock foundation, where you realize that your Flag and your Country come first. It matters not how big we may be, or any move ment we may represent, remember that our Flag and our Country are bigger than both" he declared.
 Captain Dancey closed with a stir ring tribute to those principles and ideals in which is wrapped up real Americanism, service above self; hu- manity above nationalism, and God above all. The American that rises above the Dollar standard, rises above the age of materialism.
 See to it that in every movement that means for better spirit of Amer icanism in Seward; in every move ment that means for higher order of citizenship in this community,-see to it, that across the face of every ac- complishment of worthwhile order. is written the name of the Seward Chamber of Commerce. That is your duty as an American organization"

CONF F|SCATED
 FU2S IN HANDS
 OF TREASURER
1,48O SKINS TAKEN ON LOWER YUKON FOR VIOLATION Lf-
 CENSE LAW HELD BY SMITH

Confiscated furs numbering 1,48O skins have been received in Juneau by Walstein G. Smith, Territorial Treasurer, from Pilot Station, on the lower Yukon River, for disposition by legal procedure. The skins were seiz- ed from Chow Kee. Chinaman, on July If last, who was charged with buying fur without license in vio- lation of Alaska Fur License and Tax laws" Chow Kee pleaded guilty to the charge before Judge George F. Marsh, U. s. Commissioner at Mar shall, according to advice received from Judge Marsh by MT. Smith.
 The skins include two beaver, two otter, one wolverine, 195 mink and 1,280 muskrats.
 E. Coke Hill, attorney, has advised MT. Smith that he is representing MT Chow Kee, and requests the return ot the furs. He states that the certified copies of the records plainly show the attempted confiscation illegal and void.
 MT. Smith has wired the Commis. sioner at Marshall for full details of the case and information concerning Chow Kee, before taking legal action in disposing of the furs. The law re quires that confiscated furs be sold at public auction. This is the first case of it's kind to come before the treasurer.-Juneau Empire.

FRATERIYAL ORDERS
 HEAR CAPT. DANCEY
 AT l. ]. l. r. HALL

There was a splendid representa- tion of the fraternal organizations Of Seward at Odd Fellows Hall last eve hing to meet Capt Dancey, American izat1on Officer of the American Le- zion. It was an eleventh hour call. and the Legion Committee was more than gratified with the response.
 Cal. M. Brosius presided and called on A. E. Fucker, adJutant of the Sew ard Post, to introduce the speaker. The plans for an Americanization pro- gram were fully explained and the CO., operation of the various fraternal or ders was asked in making the differ ent numbers e the program a success, with special emphasis on the presen- tation of ''The Man Without Cnun- try" at the Liberty Theatre this even- ing, and the public mass meeting of Sunday afternoon.
 Captain Dancey spoke for forty min utes, carrying his audience through varying stages of the world war and its aftermath and, out of his expert ences overseas, as we'll in world trav- el, drawing object lessons thar should be helpful to every American.
 There were many lessons taught by the war, he asserted. One thought i'm pressed upon the world was that there is no one nation that can conquer civilization. Never before in history has nation been better equipped or better prepared, than was the Ger man nation, when it hurled upon an unsuspecting world, the greatest dis aster in the history of the ages. Yet they could not succeed and, never once, from the fourth day of August. 1914, up to the eleventh day of Nov ember, 1918, did the Germans succeed in reaching one of their objectives"
 Another great lesson taught was the need of organization, 'I go into town after town. I find Rotary Club, a Kiwanis Club, Commercial Club, several church and school clubs fraternal organizations, and Women's clubs, with host of others, and yet when it comes to the matter of find ing an organization that is ready and willing, without quibbling or passing the buck, to undertake something of g community or patriotic order it al most is impossible to find such an or ganization. Some say that we are or ganized to death. Perhaps we are. believe that there is great need, il every community, of an organization that is ready and willing to undertake these things of a worth while order.
 Captain Dancey spoke of the invisi ble frontier between Canada and the United States, and characterized it as the greatest object lesson the world had yet seen. It was in direct con trast to other frontiers, where fixe( bayonets and guns were the line O. demarcation.

FIRST GuN FIRED IN LEGION PROGRAM
 AMERICANA

The first gun of the Legion's Amer icanization program for Seward was fired today noon at luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce. It was the largest gathering in the history of the organization, the accommodations be- ing taxed to capacity. Chairman w. H. Whittlesey presided and amongst the visitors from out of town were B. H. Barndollar, accountant for the gov ernment railroad at Anchorage, and M o. Snodgrass, head of the agricul- fural station at Fairbanks.
 Mir. A. E. Fucker, adjutant of the Seward Post of the American Legion, introduced the speaker, Captain s. N. Dancey, Americanization officer of the Legion. Capt Dancey prefaced his re- marks with tribute to the magnifi- cent spirit he found in Anchorage, and the splendid response of the people of the northern town to the Americaniza- tion program.
 The speaker characterized the American Legion as the greatest or ganization in the United States, an or ganization, as he put it, Whose mem bers saved America in days of war; an organization whose members are destined to save America in days of peace; an organization that, if it means nothing else to you people ot Seward, must symbolic the sacrifice that made possible the liberty and freedom you enjoy in this community today"
 Americanization was heralded as the greatest problem before the peo pie of America today. There were some who regarded it as a problem confined. exclusively, to those of for. eign birth, but Captain Dancey made it unmistakably plain that Americani zation involved every man, woman and child living on American soil, be he native born or foreign born. We who are engaged in Americanizatior work, are convinced that, it is frs necessary to Americanize our owr Americans before we reach out to the so-called foreigners"
 There are some who say, The wal is over; let US forget the war Le me tell you that it is our very per sistent effort to forget the war ant the sacrifice associated with that war that is causing most of the trouble that we have in this world today Rather than endeavor to forget thu war. should we concentrate in stud. of the magnificent object lessons thu war taught, lessons in whose heed ing is wrapped up the peace of tn world"
 Here, Captain Dancey launched int the story of the building of the Alliet war machine; story, as he contend ed, holding a world of inspiration 10 every American citizen. Emphasizini the great value of esprit de corps, ol as the world knows it, pride in youl self. That, with morale, made tn force of human endeavor. The matte of having three-fold confidence, il

The sole question is whether the California lemon growers shall be subjected 10 destructive competition from abroad.
 The same free trade propagandist insists that President Coolidge should give carte blanche to the Tariff Com mission, which would mean that he abdicate his authority and shirk his responsibility under the fleXibility clause of the tariff law. That law did not vest the Tariff Commission with power to act in the changing of rates. It placed that responsibility solely up on the President. merely requiring the Tariff Commission to make inves tiga- lions as to facts.
