ALAsKA,s WAR OF NERVES

Since the beginning of the pres ent world conflict, we've been hear ing about the war of nerves. We have read of how the French people lied in confusion to jam the roads of France and aid in bringing about the downfall of that country be cause of we'll placed propaganda ln advance of the marching forces. We have heard of how it was tried on the British, with virtually no sue cess. We have all been reading a. bout how the war of nerves has been fought on a dozen fronts in the last couple of years. Now it is AL aska's turn.
 Now, today, we have our own war of nerves. The Japs have land ed in the Aleutian islands. The further most tip of the Aleutians--- Attu---is approximately 1,6OO miles from WrangeIl in the center Of Southeast Alaska. It is a great deal closer to the major portion of the Territory. It is in Attu and the Rat
 
 have made it's beach head.
 Since last Friday night when the news was first released by the Navy Department, little has been made known, at least to Alaskans. We do know from the brief announce ments that the Navy, supported by Army fliers, has dealt the Japs a staggering blow Extent of the dam age is not revealed in full but the Navy's announcement says that at least one enemy ship has been sunk several others probably put out of commission. There is nc announce ment, however, that the Japs have been driven entirely from the Aleu- tians thus far. In fact, the news, hopeful as it is, has been meager.
 This then is Alaskas baptism of the war of nerves; exactly we as sume, what the Axis powers in- tended it to be.
 We hear of so many Jap ships being sunk in the Aleutian engage ment and naturally enough we draw the conclusion that the en- emy came in some fierce for his first attempt at invasion of the North American continent. We heard two weeks age of the raid On Dutch Harbor some 800 miles eastward from Attu. Being human, we draw, probably unreliable, con- clusions on the extent of the Jap

shortly be placed in the hands of Alaska retailers and plans for pub lie meetings and conferences with merchants in all the larger towns are now being developed. Pending that time. however. merchants are reminded that they must consider themselves bound by the general provisions of the regulations and keep their price levels no higher than the maximum March prices for the same commodity. They are further advised that they are not permitted To pay their wholesalers or other suppliers of merchandise any higher prices for goods supplied ihem than the highest price they paid the same wholesaler for Che same or comparable goods in March. This is true even though the whole saler has since announced an in- crease in prices and is billing Che retailer accordingly"

operations in Alaska The facts re- vealed would indicate the invasion attempt is of minor size and prob ably being quickly handled by our armed forces. But We don't know due to the guarded policy on mil.= tary operations which is aimed also to keep in the dark Information which might prove valuable lo the enemy. Thus, the war of nerves.
 We in Alaska today are on the front line. We are undergoing the fire of the battle of nerves. This is the sort of thing we have been read ing about for two years---happen- ing some place else. When We read about it being carried on some place else our reactions usually were---"those foolish people, don [ they see il is just another attempt to rattle them2a But those foolish people Of other places probably were just as much in the dark as We are Their information was mea- ger. so they drew unreliable con clusions just as many of Is are do- ing in Alaska today.

 That's why every American man, woman, and child must put every dime and dollar not into auto tires but into automatic ri1es-not into luxuries, but into tanks-not into spending for the pursuit of happiness, but into Defense Bonds for the relentless pursuit of our enemies.
 An important part of Americas job, your job, this year is to spend less and save more-to in- vest in safety with perfect safety! Not only does the U. 5. Government guarantee your money, it guarantees to give you $4 for every s you save in Defense Bonds when you hold the Bonds to maturity!

THE TIN GAN
COLLECTION
A SUCCESS

In spite of the fact that less than
20 per cent of the homes in Wyandotte
were represented in the first tin can
collection last Saturday, the effort was
called a success by the local salvage
committee. Eleven thousand pounds Of
prepared cans were collected, which Is
about the average for the first collec-
ton in cities Of comparable size. cit ts
impossible to change the habits Of
lifetime over night" said Wilfred
Kane, chairman Of the committee.
However, the people must be made TO
realize that the heretofore lowly tin
can has assumed major Importance In
our war effort. OF the 100000 tons Of
tin used in the United States last
year, only Al tons of tin ore were pro-
duced in this country. 1t will take
time to build up South American tin
production and time is short. Tin u
used in many war industries, such as
bushings for airplane motors; also
heavy bushings for machine-gun
mounts"
The committee expects the next col
lection to be double or triple the
amount collected last Saturday.
A number of people did not place
their cans at the curb until after the
city trucks had completed their rounds
They are requested to save their cans
for the next collection some time In
October. The exact date will be an
nOunced later.
