"OLD GLORY"
"America For Americans
FOOD WINS THE WAR j
DON'T WASTE IT
OIR PROBLEM
By Dr. Raj' Lyman, Wilbur, Presi
dent Stanford University
It la surprising how few of our
Americans liave grasped the signi
ficance of tile fact thai iu Aus
tralia, a country that has contribut
ed materially to this war, there is
aa the result of at least two har
vests, piled up a very large quanti
ty o' cheap and practically Govern
mta'-owned wheat, much of it iu
the open air, where it can not be
adequately protected from various
Jciads of damage. Yet we have had
aa unprecedented call upon oui
wheat suDply in this country und iu
Canada resulting in a great increase
in prices, due to the fact that the
European nations absolutely re
quired wheat for the sustenance ol
their people. The answer to this
apparent anomaly is that it takes
three times is long for a ship to go
to Australia for food as it does to
so to Canada or the United States,
aud the world has not the shipping
availaole for the long hauls because
of toe submarine menace and the
exigencies of war.
Oil and other food stocks are
Ai£o piled upon the Asiatic aud Afri
can coasts awaiting shipment, while
we are using food fats iu oui
»oao because we can not get at
these atores.
The most Dressing problem before
th® United States and the nations
engaged with it in the war against
the Hobenzollern dynasty is to sup
ply food and ships and thus defeat
the German submarine attack upon
the left flank of the western front.
The western front simply must
be maintained and must eventually
2m uushed forward by Americans, or
ttor® will be no final conclusion to
the great catastrophe.
>[anv of our people do not seem
to realize that we have entered in
to the great struggle of autocracy
versus democracy, and that Presi
dent Wilson has said that we can not
conclude a peace with any but a
constituted representative of the
Germaa people. That means that
we mast defeat, and absolutely de
feat, the most powerful war lord
in all history, who has at his com
mand the most yonderful war ma
chine that has ever been devised.
We c*a not defeat him with a
pounding of drums or waving of
flags cr with any form of national
hysteria. We can only do it by
concerted action in food saving,
shipbuilding, munitions making, and
soldier training. The sooner we
s-ettle down to this terrible task
the sooner it will be over. Every
day that we delay in our grasp of
our responsibilities means the
loss of so many hundred or so
many thousand of our own boys,
Who will have to go to the trench
ALASKANS URGED
10 ENLIST
NOW
Elsewhere in 'his Issue of The
Dally Alaskan is printed the last
and revised list of serial numbers of
Stagway registrants. According to
now rulings persons whose homes
are in the States, but who register
ed in Alaska, were stricken from th
Alaska lists and placed on the lists
o' their home cities. This material
ly cuts down the number of people
registered in Alaska and hence
makes a difference in the serial
•numbers.
If a draft takes place in Alaska
it will probably be in the spring.
However it is the wish of Governor
Strong that Alaska's quota may be
filled by voluntary enlistment. Each
town is allotted so many men, the
exac* number of which is not made
public. If enough Skagway men
should volunteer there will be no
draft iu Skagway at all. Governor
Strong urges enlistment. The spe
cial advantage of enlistment is
that a person can fhen pick the ser
vice uuder which he wants to serve.
Application for enlistment can be
made through the local exemption
board cr by writing direct to Ft.
Win. H. Seward.
COMES FROM ALASKA

Union convention and remained far

To reacJi Washington, she travel

with the argument that Strong's
oolit-ical loyalty is much in question.
.Mrs. Hatcher declares that the mor
al forces of Alaska are unanimous

Wnile in Washington she will
mate her report to President Wil

es Tor that much longer period of
time. If we can resolutely and
successfully iueet this problem iu
the next 12 months, it is probable
♦hat we can bv that time Bee what
its conclusion is likely to be.
At the present time no man can
t>ay what will be the outcome. Ger
many now occupies the position of
a victor. We dare not let her re
main so. Every ounce of energy
that we can put into the fight
we must use, whether it be in the
production of lool, in the suppres
sion of German propaganda, in, the
building of airships, in sustaining
our embargo, or in carrying on our
productive forms of industrial and
agricultural life in the best way
possible. Until we begin as a peo
ple to individually take a personal
interest in every phase of this war,
and until the most interesting thing
to every American when he rises in
the morning is what happened on
the western fiont the day before,
we are not only in danger, but in
grim and serious danger, that au
tocratic forms of government will
replace those In which ytq now take
such pride an4 satisfaction. j
