LIBERTY'S BIRTHDAY

The 150th birthday of the American type of freedom
will be celebrated throughout country December 15
the anniversary of the day which Bill of Rights
became part of the constitution.
During these days when all freedom is threatened it
particularly fitting that the citizens of country have
this opportunity to commemorate important birthday
of Lbertyto reflect the history of what generations
before have done to keep freedom alive in this nation
The day of December Is signazes the ratification of
the Bill of Rights by the state of Virginia Vrgina's
sent in 1791 that threefourths of the states had
ratified the Bill and it thus legally added to the
stitution.
This part of the constitution includes guarantee
of freedom of religion freedom of speech freedom of the
press protection of individuals property, trial by jury
the things which all loyal Americans have since then de-
Tended at all cost.
On this anniversary, communities throughout our
country will hold celebrations in honor of the event The
will hold special ceremonies and schools will take advan-
tage of the opportunity to ns the spirit of freedom in
the younger generation.
With $50 years behind it the Bill of Rights to most
of us is no longer just lawt ngraned in philo
ophy and expressed in all actions We take it for
granted because always have had freedom but we
don't have any illusions about what lives would be
like if these freedoms suddenly snatched away
We've watched freedom die in Poland in France in Rus

THE MILLS GRIND ON
The mills for producing more
cannon fodder continue to grind.
The call for more material on the
hopper is being made Churchill,
last week, called on his nation for
100000 more conscripts, this time
including the women in the order.
And eyes have glanced in our
direction and hints have already
been made that eventually they
will need some man-power from
the United States.
Said Mr. Churchill: 1.-The crisis of
equipment Is largely over. The
crisis OF manpower and woman
power is at hand and will domi-
nate the year 1912" Britain has
been right in looking after the
crisis OF material first. There was
no use training men when there
wasn't anything for them to fight
with. Now that production is well
on its way they can use man
power
The mills grind on. None OF US
seem able to learn just exactly
how many lives the war has cost
up to this time. Certainly the
total is much beyond any figures
that have been released thus far.
Blood, sweat and tears were
promised Britain. II the tears did
not include. death then death
should be added.
And doubtless the German peo-
pie are beginning to think some
thing about the mill that grinds
on. They were promised a short
war. Ii was going to be short and
decisive. But the ever increasing
report of dead or missing" must
cause them to wonder. too, just
how much longer the mill will
grind.
WORTH THE COST?
The only way to get an accurate
picture of the thing is to imagine
the huge pile of human dead from
all the nations-piled high - the
cost of ambition, lust for power
and the foolish dream of a "su-
perior race"
Even if Hitler should win we
are of the opinion that the people
will realize that what they gain is
not worth the cost. Because all
they gain will have to be held
under the constant strain of threat,
insecurity, suspicion and revolt.
The German people may be inocu-
lated with the notion that they are
a superior race but in time they
will come to understand that true
superiority does not rise on death
and destruction of others. True
superiority reaches a helping hand
to the under-dog rather than
tramping him under foot.

Emergency Operation
 Performed on Ships Officer

When Dr. A. Bates Jones, city health officer, boarded steamer Yukon last Saturday, enroute to Anchorage to appear at Court as exper witeness in a murder trial, he was requested by Capt. Glasscock to diagnose the condition of one of the ship officers, pilot Robert Berg.
 Upon examination, Dr. Jones found Capt. Berg suffering from a ruptured appendix and ordered an immediate operation at the Base hospital. As the Yukon was unable to leave the Kraft dock until Sunday morning, a car was secured and Berg was removed with haste to the Government institution, where Drs. Brundage, Ballou and Jones operated and confirmed a di- agnosis of gangrenous appendix.
 Today Pilot Berg is still very critical condition, but the med ical authorities state he has an even chance of recovering. How ever it will be at least two months before he can leave the hospital, after his narrow escape from death.
