Again we turn our faces away
from the turmoil of the battling
armies of Europe's blood stained
fields to tin? silent reaper at home
wtLL, ia Bert Howdeshell, has taken
from among us one of our most
■jvi&illy uud lovable citizens.
A home man, fond of God's out
jof duors, a friend of all, was Bert
ficwdeshell. lie leved to roam
'he hills, to climb Alaska's insplr
..ius mountains, and saw beauty in
^eacli blade of grass aud flower by
"ft he way side.
V As editor of the Daily Alaskan
Bert llowdeshell vvafe loved by all
his readers. He was cultirred in
Uiis profession and combined clean
Nvit with the every day matter-of
fact uews.
• The I>aily Alaskan joins with all
true Alaskans in extending its
mi*t heart-felt sympathy to his
wife and relativefe.
•VHV NOT T1JADE AT HOME
Skagway was again flooded last
wck with large and cumbersome
t ataiogues of a certain middle-west
ern mail order house. It would
be financially impossible to 6end
such catalogues to Skagway if they
•tfrd uot retum value.
It behooves all of us at times
to spend our money in our own coo
niunity, especially 60 at this time
of national emergency . Every
dollar spent in Skagway means
jjust so much more for the com
munity. | : J, '
The mail order house ia quite
silent on the fact that it does not
pay any taxes to our city, it does
not help support our schools, con
s'ruct our roads, and it does not
buy any raw products from our
community whatsoever, it further
more does not extend its credit to
you or trust you ia any way, a ser
vice which local merchants willingly
grant. j
It is cfesential to the betterment
and advancement of our city that
our citizens spend their money) with
local merchants.

SENDS KEFPELIX
BACK TO—OKKMAVY
A Jew days ago it was announc
ed that all German workmen em
ployed In the construction of Zep- j
peiins had been, ordered to leave i
that -work and report to aeroplane
factories. It was equivalent to [
announcing that the Zeppelins had J
become useless "in the prosecution
of the war and that no more would
be built.
Many people wondered why the
Zeppelin was no longer useful. Tho
answer may be that a young: stu
dent in Ireland: found a way to
stop the attacks of the huge air
craft.
Wishing to test his discovery
at home, he pasted a 6heet of pa
per on a window at the back of
tho hcuse, and standing with his
apparatus at a distance of ten
feet ''rom the window, directed the
new radiation toward the sheet Of
paper. He expected to transmit
sufficient energy to ignite the pa
per. Actually the window was
blown out and a wail at the end
of the garden demolished.
As is well known, in the two
next attacks the Germans lost
one over London and two in a
raid over the English midland
countries, themselves admitting in
their communiques that the Brit
ish defenses were "extraordinarily
effectiva"
Since this time -«ot a Zeppelin
hi^i appeared over England and re
cent attacks have been made by
fleets of small aeroplanes alone.
And then came the announcement
that the Germans were giving up
making th?m even.
Hints from English officers in
the Royal Garrison Artillery on
visits to London have made It cur
rent gossip in London military cir
cles that the discovery of a young
Irishman (presumably Corr) was
responsible for the destruction of
the Zeppelins.

BADLY HURT
I lames, July 30. — Fritz Nel
son, a young man in the employ of
tile Alafcka Corporation, met with a
serious accident Friday at the Por
cupine mines. Mr. Nelson was
working with, wha' they call three
primers, which consisted of three
half (sticks of giant powder, and
which he intended to ignite with a
fuse and then drop Into the water,
for the purpose of blasting out a
piece of bed rock, and by some
means which those who were right
there with him do not understand,
the powder exploded with the re
sult his h^nd was badly shattered
j'jo it had to be amputated at the
wrist.
He also received numerous other
Wounds on bis bead and on other
parts of the body and it is thought
that he will lcfte his left eye.
They immediately started with
iiirn for Haines, to place him under
the care of a physician, and on
the road he met with still a furth
er accident. in going up a steep
hill- the bolt that connect^ the wag
on tongue to the running gears,
broke, and the wagon, with the man
in it plunged down the mountain
for about fifty feet breaking the
wagon into splinter*, but fortunate
ly the injured man was not hurt
tc any great extent.
Those bringing him down, ob
tained a wagon and team from the
road commission and brought the
man on to Haines and placed him in
the Presbyterian hospital, where
he Is undre the care of Dr. Craig.

Separate Peace With
Germany Would Be Dis
astrous For Russia
By M. TSERETELLI, Russian Minister
of Posts and Telegraphs
WE desire to hasten the conclu
sion of a new treaty in
which the principles pro
claimed by the Russian democracy
will be recognized us the basis of
the international policy of the allies.
LET US'EMPLOY ALL POSSIBLE
MEANS TO THE END THAT OUR
PROGRAM MAY AGREE WITH
THAT OF ALL THE ALLIED GOV
ERNMENTS SO A3 TO AVOID A
RUPTURE WITH OUR ALLIES.
Let us reflect that the worst re
sult of our strucr^lc for universal
peace would be a separate peace
with Germany, which would destroy
the results of the Russian revolution
and prove disa?trous to the cause of
international democracy. A sep
arate peace is, in fret, impossible.
I Such a peace would hrin<* Russia
into a new war on 1 he side of the
German coalition iind would MEAN

COLDS AFFECT
THE KIDNEYS
Many Alaska People Have Found
Tills to be True.
Are you wretched iu bad weath
er?
Does every cold settle on your
.kidneys?
Doefe your back a£he and become
weak?
Are urinary passages irregular
and distressing? -
These symptoms are cause to
suaoeit kidney weakness.
Weakened kidneys 'need quick
help.
Doan'a Kidney Pills are especial
ly prepared for weakened kidneys.
Grateful people Teccomend them.
William C. Russell, 'retired farm
er, 966 Valencia St., San Francisco,
Cal., saysr "Many colds and dayB (ft
lone hours and straining work
cau&» 1 my kidneys to give me a. 16t
of trouble. Pains seemed to settle
In fae small of my back and the
suffering 'I endured was terrible.
Ev&rr bit of strength left m« and
my kidneys acted 'too often, annoy
in.* m« at night. Doan's Kidney Pill
acted as a tonic to my kidneys and
provi of great benefit."
Prioc 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy —
get Bean's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Russell had. Foster-Mll
