AN U'KAL TO IOVALTV
VMOMi Ol'K HOYS AMI tilHLJ*
I was glad when l heard yoou
ftc:r. observing a loyalty hour in
sot1 o;. As litlle citizens, there are
things concerning our National
l.ir» which you should know, so
this hour is a time for instruction
As v\eil as the discussion of those
things which, you are doing to
fulfil your I-oyalty Pledge.
As you have been told time and
again, we are living in an awful
Moj^ :u the world's history. The
mcst awful war that this old world
h 's ever known, is going on. Our
g'.cat Nation 1i;ls beeu forced into
i': our brave men have had to go
to Kirrcpe; they have given up homeg
lore;! ones, and their own lives;
thert are on the way and many
more will follow. T»i> from tltia
li.'tjf bchool, 1 am pr^d to say, ex
ppet to go, one as ty* officer, Lieut.
Hurry (,'ombs, and the other a
pliy.sician. I>r. Estella Ford of Port
Kir! here when 1 first came to
Haines unit you all remember Harry.
Whv has our Nation been forced
iuto war? Why are wesending our
brave, loyal men and women.? On
ly briefly I will tell you some of the
reasons. The German Empire has
i"s ruler an Kmper«r whose
powfcr is unrestricted an<l who
is responsible to no one. The help
ers in his government <iro very
net men with titles, many of them
princes jvho own very large tracts
of 'ind. The poorer peopfle work
for these land owners fv>r little pay
TLe richer a man is, the more votes
h<j Is tntitled to in that country,
sn the common people, or p&asan.t
class, have little to say about; the
laws cf theri land. The Em
peror and all these rich noibles k>ve
newer and riches and they be
lieve that might or force makes
right, so they have a wonderfully
well 'rained army of men who
ire trught as little children In
sehool lhat honor comes only with
the sivcrd.
Mr. Gerard who was our Ambas
sador to the German Empire for
four ye^is, and who lived lu Ber
I liu during that time audi was of—
loii the guest of the Emperor, tolis
us that all the school tethers
aie hired and paid l>y the govern
ment and these teachers must teach
thf> boys and girls only the
things desired by the rulers of
[hc German people. The children
are not allowed to ask questions.
The sovernnient -tsars the teacher
wiii tell the children a'l they
n.«» to know, and so the children
| just r;cite what the teacher gives
I them and they must repeat their
lessons faithfully in word and
' d6pd. They are taught that the
German government is the .only
Kv)ud and effectivo form. "There
a.£ uo Saturday holidays in the
I German schools and their summer
holidays are for only three to
five weeks. You never see gangs
of small IkA's in Germany. Their
gaa.es and walks are superintended
toy their teachers who are always
'caching lhem reverence and awe
for the military heroes of the past
and present, jio matter if those
so-callcd heroes were men of lying
'ongaes and brulai natures. "On
Saturday night the Gemini boy is
turt'd ever by the government paid
j school teacher to the government
itiaid pastor who a ids divine au
thority to the principles of rever
«nce ior the German, system." Hoys
*>f-Rii! their military training when
very voting and grow to be very sel
f'Sf, and very cruel. As officers
acrf «old'ers they consider them
selves very important. The com
mou people, even ladies, must Ret
out of their way when on the street
or otber public places.
There have heen many instances
In Germany where officers having
u sl'uht dispute wrth civilians have
instantly raised the sword and
ilt 11 led them. Many of tho civilians
grf\» nnirry w'th the whole mili
tary system and tlieir autocratic
form of government. The Kmperor
•aw the danger of his government
i^oing tQ pieces if he didn't make
the peonle promises of great fpr
sciial wealth and additions to the
Of-iman Empire, and so he com
menced his brutal war of conqn©st
lo win the world. Tho Germans
hav> called it a defensive war but
OiAt is not true. The German Km
oire had been preparing for it far
fcrty jears. Untold millions have
suffered more than you or 1 can
, ever know. Germany Jias des
troyed )?elgiu:n. parts <>t" France.
Italy, i'olaud. Russia, etc., she
has sunk many of out shins with
tgr.s"»t loss of life and money ot our
nation. Untold thusands are starv
i ii»" ts death. Would it be right for
a Rre-'t Nation like ours to do
nothin ; to stop this awful war?
Our country is one of high ideals.
1* a happy place in which to
Jive because of it, and our form of
government is so different from
tliat of the German Kuipire. We
have j. Democracy and President
Lincoln defined that to l'e, "the
government of the people, by the
J>eople, for the people."
President Wilson h;1s said u>at
lbu United States has entered Hits
Great World "War, that the world
may be 111 title s»iu for Democracy,
and 'hat an people may be mad^
safu for Democracy, and that all
people may be free and happy iis
we aic. Then, too, our own happy
America is in danger, Very grave
duiker. The German iO nip ire would
like lo count America as one of
her possessions but sho shall not
have ft, if every 1k>v- and girl, man
arj woman in our country will but
be loyal. We shx>uld be so proud
of the righteous, principles for
which we stand. Old Glory reminds
us of them every time «o look at
our ilaa,—braverty, purity, truth,
justice, liberty. J would not :',sk
you to be loyal, that i«. true, to
a country that did not stand for
t!-ese piinciples.
As little citiiwus, then, you
must try to ma'ke your lives and
ccnduc» as well as your words and
service the hisb.esrt and best, that
these high ide Us may live to
bless, not only your own lives,
but the lives of those yet to come.
You belong to ^ very great army,
the a jury-of the school children ol
America and «s such you arc
very important littlo cit izens. Poon
ytuwillbe >;ro«wn men smd women,
citizens of age who will vote and

A flying; machine with a capacity
or tifty passengers i® projected for
.service between Dawson and Shag
way, pnyg the Dawson News. A
story to this effect is brought to
Dawscn by recent arrival® from the
coast. Details are not yet given
• ut, but it is said that the promot
er of the plan believes an aircraft
suitable for this service can be se
cured, and that it will be able to
make the 'rip, one way, In four
hours. 'Ill*
The distance between Dawson and
SUagway is something like 4G5
miles by trail, and by air route
would bo much shorter.
Consul real>le ep-oouju-iion nas uce»
indulged in at various timesi toy
Ivlondikers ;is to the boat type of
air craft for service in this north
ern country. A good many be
lieve that something after the type
o[ the Gotha or of the larger Al
liid planes, capable of carrying
■several passengers., could be
operated successfully in this north
ern lielt. . •
Among the several points consid
ered as to the operation of air
ciaft in this region is the tempera
ture. especially in the winter. It is
.believer by some who have been I
r 'Hliiig closely 011 experiments with |
airplanes on the European battle
fronts that the cold of the Yukon'
would be no hindrance.
While it wn« as low. as 86 below
zerc. Fahrenheit, in Yukon this "win
ter. r'uus establishing! a record for
*:e country and perhaps for the
world in so far as temperature on
tl.» ground is concerned, one of the
roceit magazines reports that avia
tors in Italy ascended to heights
iv 1)ore they encountered similar tem
peratures. One of the Italian fliers
rc-iched an altitude over 19.000 feet
and found the temperature S9 de
gi'oys below zepo. He was well
diesso.! for the trip, havlngi woolen
■underwear, fur coat and similar
eauipment to that worn by Arctic'
travelers, and did not suffer from
the ccld. so he continued to ascend
a'fer reaching t(je extreme cold, and
navigated there as long as lie
found it necessary in carrying? out
his mission.
The United States government
some time ago considered Bereious
ly a plan to place airplanes on the
ma>| routes in Alaska, especially
where there are few trails, and
where 'lie distances, are great and
difficult of travel in winter. Rfv
cent reports say that a mail service
is to oe established by the United
States government between Washing
ton and New York. Many think that
such service soon will be common
i 11 America and that, after tho
war, aviators will be numreous and
that many northern routes will
ha\<- such a service. A number of
northerners have projected the
Bawscn-Skagway flying eer^'^e at
different times.
