"America For Americans
ALASKA'S COXTRIBI'TIOX TO
THE ARMY
We congratulate Lieut.-Col. Sa
Tille upon the selection lie has
made for the officers' training
cuniy at the Presidio in. San Fran
cisco. A finer set of young men
and a more capably lot could not
be choseu from any section of the
country. They are men who have
had a great deal more experience
thau the avera&g men of their age.
They have been trained for work
and are workers, every one of
them, and efficient in high degree.
It is, fortunate that many of the
others who made application for
apuointment to the training camp
no' have been selected. Scores of
men who would acquit themselves
splendidly in the service of their
country during the Great War had
to be rejected simply because only
a limited number were provided for
in the Alaska, ailottment.
However, if th$ war continues,
'here will be more call^ and more
men needed. In the meantime, no
man will injure his chances for pro
morion or usefulness in higher
places by enlisting for service in
the regular army. Th<j regular
army and the various National
Guards are being recruited to al
most 1,000,000 men. Many of the
officers for the million or more
n en who will b^ drawn in addition
to the regulars, the militia and
'he lirst drafted army, will be
selected from among those who
serve in the fiiv>t forces that are
being prepared to enter actively In
the war against the Kaiger to make
t"e world safe for democracy.
In the meantime we are certain
that Alaska will be well repre
sented among the army officers of
the country, and that her repre
sentatives w*ill be a credit to the
territory and their country. Again
we congratulate Col. Saville, and
the young men who have been giv
en an opportunity to serve their
country in a great crisis.—Juneau
Empire. [ I
It makes little difference what thd
German chancellor says. There, will
be no annexations or indemnities
for Germany.—Xew York World.

Head the following statement.
W. V. Condon. 382 H St., San Ber
nardino, Cal., says: "I think the
jarring and jolting of the wagon I
ride is what weakened my kidneys
and caused backache. 1 could
hardly get on or off the wagon be
cause of sharp pains In the small
of my, back. The kidney secretions
were too frequent In passage, caus
ing me to arise several times at
night. I had dizzy spells, also.
Doan's Kidney Pills cured the back
ache and regulated the action of
my kidneys."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy —
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
