In spite of the fact that most WrangelI women are busily engaged in summer work. Mrs s. D.

 Those who knit helmets will be especially interested in the thanks of a Naval officer to a San Francis co production chairman for 90 wool helmets sent his men on active duty on a battleship:
 aThere is nothing so dasfardly demoralizing as to stand hour on end in a biting gale with perhaps rainfall adding 10 your discomfort Chilly water seeps down your neck. Rain clothes reach saturation point. Your eyes narrow to slits trying to avoid wind and rain. and you feel the world has quite forgotten you.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS OF RUGGED JOURNALISM

Old timers will remember the fire here of 1906. Our attention is cal led to it in copies of the s by H. inch tabloid The Sentinel issued during the weeks the then Editor A. Y. R. Snyder and U S. Commission CT was awaiting new equipment. Present U. s. Commissioner R. J. Suratt ran across the old papers while going through the files in the Commissioner office.
 Editor Snyder was issuing the small-sized paper, he assured his readers in the issue of May 8, 1906, because that double jointed, knock-kneed, dad-bobbed, swivel eyed, wedge-headed, pigeon toed roller has not yet arrived, so we are compelled to issue this measly lit tie sheet again. We promise, how ever, to give you the full sized pa per by July A."
 Editor Snyder apparently was in fine fettle despite the fire and the trouble of getting a roller for his printing press as he recorded the affairs of the community. He noted, for example, that "Mr. and Mrs. Sam Cunningham are about the proudest parents of a bouncing ba- by girl you ever saw. She is al- ready old enough to make papa walk the floor, but he says he is on- ly too glad to do it. The little stranger made her advent on the 4th, but owing to the fact that this paper has been running on the half shell we failed to report it sooner. This was the issue of April 19, 1906.
 He also recorded that Deputy Marshal ". D. Grant was a passen- ger for Seattle on the Humbolt last week in response to a message in- forming him of the illness of Mrs. Grant He will be back on the Cot sage City, and if Mrs. Grant is well enough, she will probably &C., company him, as will also Brig ham,"
 Other recordings of note were that "J. H. Wheeler has purchased the Levy property on Front Street, and contemplates erecting a sub stantial building thereon" and that quite a number of our citizens have been troubled of late with a breaking out resembling exzema."
 But it was on his editorial page that Editor Snyder really went to town. It appears that a paper lover

glorious war resulted from sheer ignorance
 You are in a country rendered eliminate by the influence of old fashioned ideas of liberty. a eoun- try which is at least two centuries behind ours. You are in need of a good dose of Prussian culture.
 It is evident that you, a Swiss girl, with your French sympathies. cannot understand how my heart. the heart of a young German girl. passionately desired this war. Speak iag of it some years ago. my father said to Us: Children. Germany is getting too small for Us we shall have to go to France again in order to find more room" Is il our fault if France will not understand that more money and land are necessary for us?
 And you reproach us that our soldiers have been very cruel to tho Belgian rabble, and you speak also Of the destruction of Rheims. and of the burning of villages and towns Well, that is war. As in ev- cry other undertaking. We are past masters in the making of war.
 You have great deal to learn before you can come up to our standard, and 1 can assure you that what has been done so far is a mere bagatelle compared with what will follow.
 As matter Of fact, there is but one race worthy of ruling the world, and which has already at tained the highest degree of ciYili- zation That race is ours. the Prus- sians; for though we Germans in general are the lords of the world, the Prussian is undoubtedly the lord par excellence among the Ger mans
 All other nations, and among them. unfortunately, the Swiss, are degenerate and of inferior worth. That is why l have always been so proud of being a true Prussian
 Yesterday, again, our pastor ex- plained to us convincingly that our first parents, Adam and Eve. were also Prussian. That is quite easy to understand, because the Bible tells us that the German God created us all after his own image. If, then, all men are descended from Adam and his wife, it follows that only Prus- sians, or at least Germans, ought to exist in the world, and that all who push on and prosper ought to belong to us You must admit that that is logic and that is why our motto is "God with us! Germany above everything
 You know now why we wished this war Is it not shameful other nations, who have no right to exis- tence on the earth, wish to diminish our heritage? We are the divine fruit and the others are only weeds. That is why our great emperor has decided to put an end to all these inJustices and to extirpate the weeds. Do you understand that now?

on Baranoff Island, meaning sitka. l had also made mention of the fire and among other things said: Tt is 1 feared that the calamity has struck death blow to the little town, from the fact that there is nothing around Of any importance to war rant rebuilding upon the old site. Had the fatality occurred about the time of the late boom. 1t is quite possible that the city would have been rebuilt and have arisen phoenix like from the ashes"
 IL was too much for Editor Shy der and grabbing his printers stick he prefaced his remarks with: GREAT GOD, LIsTENi" and pro eeeded as follows:
 "The above vail comes from a lit tie town over on Baranoff Island and it is clearly patent that the author is an old granny, an old maid, or some person who is about as foreign to newspaper fairness or true justice to her neighbors as a skunk would be to a thoroughly domesticated kitten. From the out set in this item there is not one cor rect statement. The fire occurred on Saturday. II started in the Pioneer instead of J. G. Grants Fort Wrau- gell Hotel. Chats what the Baran- off Island writer had said.) Fifty houses were burned, and yet 293 remain as a nucleus around which the town is rising grander and more substantially than ever. The Wilson and Sylvester sawmill is not across the bay. but right in the edge of town As for the town be- ing of no importance, We want to state here and now that more bus mess is done in Wrangell in one
 year than is done in Sitka i'll five, although The Sentinel begs pardon of some of it's good friends in that town for speaking so plainly. For some reason some of the neighbor- ing papers seem disposed to treat Wrangell with a great deal of dis respect and to spit out their venom just at this time when they should show a friendly spirit. But their kicks will amount to nought, for old Wrangell will come to the front as a shining star, and that within few months. Her commercial situa- tion demands and assures it and her business men are of the stripe that assures success. Scat, you sarcastic jade!"
 Having spoken this parable, Edit or Snyder reported that Bob Reid's new warehouse will soon be com. pleted" and a Grand Ball" was to be celebrated in a glowing man ner'' to commemorate the occasion. Everybody, apparently, was invited but Editor Snyder ad libbed, Fred Patching's money is not needed, and he is cordially invited to go straight to with it." History fails to record the outcome of what appeared to be the Patching-Snyder feud, but Editor Snyder did record that one T. G. Wilson, who had moved from Wrangell to Anacortes, on hearing of the fire had raised $68, which he forwarded, asking if any more was needed. "He not only sent the money, but also a case of Old Forester Pain Eradicator, think ing it might be needed" commented Editor Snyder.

WARNING SERVICE
 HELD IMPORTANT
Volunteers in New England Release Entire Division
 for Active Duty

''In New England alone, the man. ming Of the observation posts of the Aircraft Warning Service by civilian observers. has released an entire de vision of enlisted men for active combat duty" asserted It. William L. Chipman, Regldn Commander of Ground Observation, First Inter- cefltor Command, at Q meeting of chief observers of Middlesex county held in Deep River, Conn, last week. The lieutenant went on to explain this extraordinary State- ment by saying that If the new al- most perfect functloning obseryA- ton SyStem didn't exist, it would be necessary to have fifteen times aS many reconnaissance planes con- stantly flying about New England in order to provide the equivalent information. regarding possible at- tacking aircraft.
 And even more important" the lieutenant continued, "the efficient functioning Aircraft Warning sGr- vice makes it possible for our in- terceptor planes to remain on the ground, until they're really needed in the air, thus saving incalculable wear and tear on pilots and planes" !" Lieutenant Chipman was emphatic in his iiisistance that Service in the Aircraft Warning Corps was front-line duty, more important to the inadequate defense of the land than any other which is open to the civilian. "The Aircraft Warning Service comes first. It is the foundation upon which proper air raid precautions are built" cons tinued the lieutenant.
 There are 16D observation posts in Connecticut which are now ef- ficiently functioning Oil c 24 hours, seven day week, basis. Originally sponsored by the American Legion, most of the supervisory direction in Connecticut is of Legion extraction.
 There still remains an opportunity to volunteer at some of the states observation posts for either men cr women who may care to stand a watch. Those who would welcome this admirable way of serving their country by duty done in their own home town, may offer their services to the cofnmander of the local American Legion post.
