OTTAWA, Sept. II Canadian
Press The question of sending g
major expeditionary force to Eu-
rope remained to be decided today
as Canada offered her resources tt
Great Britain under a declaration
of war with Germany.
Less than two hours after Prime
Minister w. L. Mackenzie King sent
q copy of the war declaration tc
the Canadian Official Gazette yes
terday, the United States applied
the arms embargo restrictions OF
the Neutrality Act to Canada
Canada's first formal war procla-
nation in history came in three
swift steps. Thirteen hours after
the House of Commons approved
the governments war stand, LORD
Tweedsmuir, governor general, is
sued a royal proclamation. The
proclamation then was cabled to
London, where it was quickly ap-
proved by King George.
Upon BritainS entrance into the
World War in 1914 the Dominion
government merely published the
British war proclamation.
Three DOminiOns Preceded Her.
The Dominion followed Great
Britain by just a week in going to
war with Germany. Three other
dominions-New Zealand. Australia
and the Union of South Africa
preceded Canada with war declara-
tons.
India was considered automati-
cally at war with the Reich upon
Britain's declaration.
The Prime Minister said the
Dominion's first contributions to the
war will be to safeguard British and
French possessions in the North At

men overseas and dispatch food and
munitions to the allies.
The question of sending an in
fantry expeditionary force to
Europe is to be decided. he added.
During the World War Canada
enlisted $4,000 men for service and
the expeditionary force eventually
reached 100000. The nation S
casualties were 1854 dead and
149,732 wounded. World War costs
to the dominion were estimated at
$1,000 100000.

The Statesman's Yearbook for 1899
indicates Canada could raise a
military force of 10000 men and
officers with military training with
in short time by calling up the
permanent and temperament
militia. In addition, there are 745
officers and $500 ahmen in the
permanent and temperament
Royal Air Force. The yearbook
lists naval strength at six destroyers
and several minesweepers.
The war declaration read, in part:
I'VE dc hereby declare and pro-
claim that a state of war with the
German Reich exists and has exist
ed in our Dominion of Canada as
and from the 10th day of September
1899. Our loving subjects
and all others are hereby
required to take notice and to govern
themselves accordingly"
Director of immigration F. c
Blair said the declaration would
make no difference to United States
citizens entering Canada unless they
were Germans and that there woulo
be no change in customs regulations

 Canned Salmon More and More

Growing popularity of canned salmon is indicated in a survey of national magazines made dur ing the past year by the Canned Salmon Industry to determine the number of times magazine elitors have urged readers to serve salmon by publishing rec ipe5 ealing for this famous Al az'1a product.
 Tn September issues of the IS leading national magazines in the women's, household, child care and farm publication fields, covered in the survey, twelve sal mon recipes were published. For the year ending in September, this group of magazines, circulat ing a total of 32 million copies a month, published 78 recipes and features calling for canned sal mon.
 Many of these recipes were il lustrated with full color photo graphs prepared by the magazine editorial staff.
 Largest number of salmon re- cipes printed during the last year was during the Lenten season. In March fourteen recipes appeared in editorial columns of these leading magazines. In April, the number increased to fifteen.
 In analyzing the survey, the in duStry reports points out that na tional advertising of canned sal mon has drawn the attention of millions of home makers as well as editors to canned salmon.

PIONEER ROOF GARDEN

Once more the mother Igloo of the Pioneers of Alaska, Nome Igloo No. 1 steps out with the Assistance of her sons and dau- ghters to make the wellkin ring with wassail and merriment on the occasion of the Igloo's an- nual Roof Garden to be held next Saturday at the Public School Auditorium.
 The Pioneers of Alaska have always been noted for their un- bounded enthusiasm, both for their organization, and for their adopted land. Their valiant spir- 1t, staunch courage and abiding faith in the future of their great Territory is a source of unfail- ing wonderment to the newcom- CT, who all to frequently mere ly sees in Alaska the opportun- ity for a quick stake, then back 10 the States, leaving nothing be- hind to mark his passing.

ue of the advertising campaign in spreading more information about this Alaska product can be credited with gaining this large amount of editorial publicity for canned salmon,' the report says.
 "Prior to the start of the ed- vertising campaign for canned salmon, recipes appeared in na- tional publications only frequent ly. During the past year, there was only one month, January, which did not see canned salmon prominently mentioned in the ed itorial columns of some leading national magazine"
 These frequent recipes play an important part in persuading housewives to serve canned sal mon dishes more frequently in their homes, the report conclud es.

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS

of the century, the Pioneers of Alaska alone remains, with '29 Igloos active from Nome to Ketchikan, and a membership of several thousand. Nome should be particularly proud of and loy- al to this great Pioneer Order, for Nome was it's birthplace and Igloo No. 1 it's cradle.
 One of the oldest and most en- joyable events of Nome's winter social activities is the Pioneer Roof Garden. It takes a real old timer to recall the first of these affairs, only interrupted through the years by the late great fire of 1884. The same high qualities of enthusiasm and bouyancy of spir it that has always marked AL aSka's Pioneers IS reflected in the staging of these annual Roof Gar dens, for while these qualities may be intangible, no affair of the nature of the Annual Roof Garden can be a success without them and we have yet to see the time when those who attended did not say that the Pioneer Roof Garden was the highlight of the winter social season.

ONE TERM, THREE TERMsl

The candidacy of Senator Vanden-
berg for the Republican Presidential nomi-
nation is announced, accompanied with a
proviso that the nominee should be "pre-
pledged to a single term.
What Mr.. Roosevelt's attitude toward
a third term may be has not been dis
closed But the question of the length OF
the tenure of office of President is likely
to be discussed great deal in the coming
months.
There is an established precedent
against any President remaining in office
more than two terms. The nomination OF
a popular President for second term is
also a thoroughly entrenched system. Ii
Mr.. Vandenberg should win he might find
himself in exactly the same position with
Woodrow Wilson, who was elected in 1912
on platform favoring a single presi-
Dental term. He served eight years and
his biographies made it fairly clear that
he would not have been adverse to third
term if his health had not failed.
Presidents rarely find that they have
completed" their tasks, regardless Of how
long they have been In office.

DISPLAY YOUR FLAGS

Flag Day will be observed tomorrow
throughout the nation. The Junior Cham
Der of Commerce, the American Legion
and other patriotic and civic groups are
calling attention to the people of Key West
of this annual event Every available AM
erican Flag should be displayed.
Many forget the meaning of the ma
tional emblem They do not realize the
Flag stands for all the blood that has been
shed upon thousand battlefields. They
do not sense unless they stop to think about
it that the flag represents an ideal-the
ideal of freedom and liberty.
Nowhere else is such freedom and
liberty so rampant. Nowhere else is such
freedom and liberty so rampantly ignored
or so rampantly abused. Our patriotic citi-
zens accept freedom and liberty as they
do the air around them. They forget there
are obligations that must be met if free
dom and liberty are to endure in this coun-
try. These vitals of American life were
won by men willing to die in the cause of
freedom and liberty. And did die, tens of
thousands of them; so the least that we
can do today is show our respect for the
Flag and what it represents by display
ing it. II
In the tetalitarian countries, whose
agents are attempting to arouse class and
mass hatreds and to stir up religious and
racial differences and prejudices in the
United States volunteer flag days are un-
known. Every day is flag day in those
downtrodden nations-by order. Woe un-
to him who does not display the national
flag and the national symbol of the pre-
vailing form of government on every &C.
casion demanded by the loud-mouthed
dictators Violations of these demands
call for poisonous doses of castor oil and
concentration camp discipline.
This country being nation of free
men does not punish those who fail to dis
play the American Flag on Flag Day.
Those who fail to display their Flag are
furnishing themselves. They are unwit-
tingly aiding and abetting the enemies OF
our representative form of government
that guarantees even our enemies the right
of free speech, free assembly and free
press.

land of freedom and liberty

Procrastination is acknowledged to
be the thief of time but in many cases it
saves money for those who procrastinate.
The manana habit is particularly favorable
to tax procrastinators. For instance the
honest tax payer who pays on the dot is
quickly forgotten while the tax dodger is
coddled and panpered by remissions and
productions in his tax account Those de-
hnquent taxpayers who paid through the
Murphy in 1888 did not fare as well as
those who dilly-dallied until 1889 and pos
sibly those who have not as yet paid their
taxes may receive dissolution when the
next Legislature meets Nevertheless, the
advice of this column is not to tempt the
gods who may turn ont to be more ruthless
than mortals.
