SILVER WEEK RESPONSE I5
 LUKE WARM

Juneau residents have been slow to respond to the current Silver Week. drive to raise money for pur- chase of a silver service for the U. s. s. Juneau, it was announced to- day by Mayor Harry T. Lucas.
 So far, the Mayor stated, only about SITS of the needed $900 for the ships silverware has been raised by the drive. At the same time, heaviest drive for funds was to start today, when Boy Scouts were to sell Silver Week" tags on the down. town streets for $1 each.
 Final effort of the drive will be on Saturday night, when Fire Chief V. w. Mulvihill and his volunteer fire laddies will take over the Gold Room of the Baranof Hotel and stage 6 jitney dance.
 Commenting on the drive for the new cruisers silverware, the follow ing letter was received today by The Empire:
 May make suggestion in re- gard to the seemingly unsuccessful silver set drive sponsored in Juneau in order to raise funds for the silver set for the officers of the U. $. s. Juneau. May I point out that the silver set you propose to buy will benefit only a handful of officers who will seldom use and appreciate it less. The people of Juneau, AL aska, am sure will donate for this cause if the gift is for the enjoyment and benefit of the. enlisted person. nel. The. approximate 500 enlisted men of the cruiser Juneau will long remember the city if you follow this suggestian. A good example of ap- preciation is the gift from Houston, Texas, to its namesake, a piano for the enlisted men which was the talk of the fleet long after that ship was put into commission.
 "A piano and some large colored pictures of Alaska's beautiful scen- cry would in my opinion be the ap- propriate gift from Juneau. Alaska. The above would be for the enlisted mems reception room which is the only place on board ship these men have to relax after days work. Pianos, pictures, etc, are not part of ships equippage and have to be bought entirely by the men them selves.

Miss Pat Harland, a former Ju- neau resident and graduate of the Juneau High School, who recently was graduated from the University of Oregon, has done very well in dramatics there, according to word received here. Her last production was. a British comedy by Gerald Savory, George and Margaret" presented by the University Play CTS.
 At the time of the dress rehears- als of the play, forces of the Unit ed States Army were passing through Eugene enroute to Fort Lewis following maneuvers in Cali fornia. The cast decided to offer the doughbcys entertainment, and so invited them to attend the dress rehearsals for one night. The idea proved to be popular, so the in- vitation was continued for two nights more.
 The soldiers were delighted with the performance, and expressed their appreciation with hearty laughs and applause. Following the show, Miss Harland and another member of the cast, Gene Edwards, complied with the requests of the regulars and gave an impromptu show of their own. Among other songs, they sang You Are My Sunshine
 Attending the production were ether well known Juneau people Mrs. Charles w. Hawkesworth and her daughter Florence, Mrs. Charles Harland, Miss Frances Harland Marie Jean Glasse, James Gray and Thomas Stewart, son of B D. Stewart of this city, who is now at Fort Lewis.
 l Miss Harland writes that her sis ter is going to NYU on a fellow ship to work toward her Ph-D. and her brother Philip is employed at the Boeing plant. She is re- maining in Oregon.

ZIG ROUND-UPS

Tn the spring and summer of 1913, when the World War I draft law was only shadow older than the present one, the FBI was con- ducting stacker raids" in key in- dlstrial centers. The first was in Pittsburgh in March. So successful was it in netting draft dodgers
 similar raids followed immediately ia Chicago and Boston Seven hun dred "deserters' were picked up in the former city and 800 in the lat ter. But the daddy of all such raids was held in New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City between Septem- Der and G. On those three days, more than 50,00O men were exam ined or rounded up for questioning
 When it was all over, 16,505 draft dodgers either had been. packed eff to camp or were held for trial.
 All of this happened in a period when only 10,64o,846 men had

MOST OF IT UNNECESSARY

MOST OF IT UNNECESSARY
 It causes lot of grief for the FBI and the Department of Jus tice, but their only complaint is that most of it is unnecessary Strict compliance of willing youths with the law would cut the delin- quencies to an insignificant num- Der. If the reported delinquents who really are without blame, woulc report to their boards or the FBl as soon as they discover they are on the trouble list, it would cut that number in half.
 But even as it is, it appears that the youngsters of today are smart enough ard sufficiently on the side of selective service so that he government will never have to stocp to the World War level of putting a $50 reward on the head of every draft evader.

Clipper Days

For more than two and 4 half
centuries shipbuilding fiourished
and became the chief industry in so
coast and river towns. The clipper
ship era was when Maine came into
her own with these beautiful ships
built of Maine timber by Maine
builders, and largely officered and
manned by natives of Maine whose
birthright was knowledge of the
ways of the sea.
Bath not only won fame for it's
wooden ships, but when iron and
steel replaced oak and pine, Bath
met the new demand by building
the first steel sailing vessel, four
master. This vessel and the last
wooden four-master built in Bath
were both sunk by the Germans,
the wooden William P. Frye being
the first American ship thus sacri-
feed. Battleships, cruisers, gun
boats, and destroyers, as well as the
ram Katahdin, are included in the
total output of more than a million
and a quarter tons of shipping
launched at Bath alone.

AS early as 1856, the town authori-
ties of South Berwick passed an
order against waste of timber. In
more recent times forest conserva-
tion was accepted as business pol
icy, and protective measures
against fire were early adopted and
generously supported by timberland
owners, even before state laws were
passed. Maine was the first state
to erect lookout towers and also the
first to build them of steel. The
first lookout station was erected by
private landowners on Squaw noun
tain in 1906. AT present the state
maintains SO fire stations.
The first sawInill in America was
built near York in 1923, and another
at South Berwick in 1851; and so
years later there were "a mills in
the province of Maine, including the
first gang sawmill on the continent
at site aptly named Great Works.
Opportunity for the infant colo

England's forests. During the Sew
enteenth and Eighteenth centuries,
naval reserves meant oak, not oil,
but Queen Elizabeth and her Stuart
successors squandered the royal for
ests to provide increased revenues
independent of parliament, while ad-
mirals protested. There was a
scarcity of oak tirnbers. and the
white pine of New England gradu-
ally became England's chief source
of the masts sorely needed by its
navy.

Turkey To Repudiate
Ties With England
CONTINUED from page y

50,oOO,0oo people. The country now
numbers scarcely 100000 people.
When thinking of Turkey one must
remember that there are two types
of Turks, the Seliiks and Ottoman
Turks. Although they both speak
the same language they are pro-
foundly different in their ideology.
The Seliiks came from Central Asia
and are Oriental, Moslem, reaction
ary and crude.
The Ottoman Turks, are Moslem
also, but much more enlightened and
progressive. This group has much
higher conception of government and
is willing to have the government
adapt itself to the changing social
and economic conditions of the coun-
try. In contrast, the Seljiks are
blindly devoted to maintenance of
the old order.
ARABIC UNION
There has been much talk in
recent years of forming an Arabic
federation. The speaker indicated
that such a union was an impossible
ity and would be much harder to ac-
complish than to unite the 27 ma
tionality groups III Europe. This is
due to the Arabic temperament, which
is marked by fierce jealousy, intol-
erence, stubborness and disunity.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1941-05-22

The different Arabic groups would
never be tolerant enough to yield to
each other in any form of coopera-
tive enterprise, the speaker stated.
Of the 25O,OOO,O0O Mosleln peoples
in the world, 150,000,000 of them are
living under British influence. Hitler
and Musolini have been attempting
to stir up trouble but SO far have
not been very successful. Great Bri-
tain, always excellent colonizers, un-
derstand the Arabic temperament
and the Arabs have been impressed
by the British religious tolerance.
The speaker concluded with a spe-
cial appeal for unity in the great
American democracy pointing out
that all of the citizens should forget
political and social differences and
focus action in making United States
the great impregnable citadel OF
liberty.
