"OLD GLORY"'
"America For Americans'
WAK FOR TWO YKAKS
Frank H. Simmotids, who lias
come 4» be regarded as the princi
pal American writer uu the war,
and whose prophecies of eveuts hay
ceen »eason.ibly accurate, suggests
Uut til* final blow at Germany is
uot likely ;o be delivered, before the
spring of If 19, when the I'niied
States will be able to bring its
great lower to bear iu an effective
Wl{,
France bore tha brunt of fighting
lu 1914-15, until Great Britain ral
lied its civilians iUo the great ar
my of the present day. Great
.Brit&la h.as had to assume a large
•lure of the burden of defense for
1916 and 1917, and will again in
1918. By the spring of 1919 the
•BritikJ. numbers, like, the French
numbers cow, will begin to fail,
wljlle the American numbers, alone
of the war participants, will be in
creasing. If the >var goes to 1919
if will Become the duty of the Am
erican forces to strike the final
blow, la the spring of that year,
it is estimated, Germany will have
lost oae-h^lf £if its capable men of
flghtlug age. Thus the war has be
come % contest in. which the central
sowers are being gradually exhaust
ed la relays, by three strong adver
a^rle*, without oooortunity for re
cuperation, Two more years of
this rrriety of warfare will place a
blood tax upon Germany that will
insure peace indefinitely.
Meanwhile Gen. H'Mg » operations
hav« aimed to drive a wedge behind
the German forces down the Lys
f^Jley, cutting off ttie railroads and
Highw*v| serving the German ar
nflej *vi the Belgian submarine bag

la successful it probably means the
retirement of the Teutons from
France and most of Belgium. Ger

•ubm*rii.es can -win the war, or to
obtai* Buch success in the French
field or elsewhere as shall assist in
Drinking tie allies to a peace agree
ment. Peace and the submarines are
Germany's t>nly hone, and the sub
marine end of It is already an ap
parent failure. There remains the
hope of a successful pea.ee defensive
this winter, and it is this that the
allies must resist if they are to
prevail and make the world safe for
future generations.—Seattle P. I.

"A BLOW BELOW THE BELT"'
ERY DOLLAR that you send out of Skafway for goods that may
be had in Skagway is a blow at the growth of your home city—"A
Blow Below The Belt." <1 Every dollar that you spend in Seattle * r
other cities for job printing that you may have done at the Daily Alaskan
office is a blow to your home paper—"A Blow Below The Belt." These
thoughtless out-of-town purchases in the aggregate are hurting business in
Skagway and in some respects are hurting the hand that feeds your mouth.
The business h«uses of other cities contribute nothing to the maintenance
of Skagway institutions. They sell none of the commodities that cannot be
purchased here, If you get your income from Skagway real estate, it your liv-"
ing comes from a Skagway salary, if you in any way are dependent on Skagway
BE LOYAL
....DON'T HIT SKAGWAY BELOW THE BELT....
Spend Skagway money in Skagway and be known among your fellow men as a true citizen of your home town

CERTAIN 10,000,000 FAMILIES
HAVE TAKEN" FOOD FLEDGE
With a certainty that 10,000,000
families have signed its food con
servation pledge, the United States
Food Administration is continuing
its nation-wide enrollment campaign
More thaa six and a half signatures
have been officially tabulated at the
Washington, headquarters, and the Te
turns fiom districts in the country
where returns were difficult to se
cure are begintiig to flood in now.
In addition, Illinois and Minnesota
are tericning their intensive cam
aign this week; Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania are carrying on clean
up campaigns, following their State
enrollments of last spring, and a
score States "\re continuing the
canvass begun last Monday, a single
week'saving proved insufficient foe
the immense task of visiting every
house Individually.
The Food Administration points
out that with the co-operation of
half families of the United
States in its plan of food substitu
tion as a means of supplying the
allies with the wheat, meat, fats,
and sugar that America must furn
ish, th« results will be far more
tangible than most people have rea
lized. If, for instance, half the Am
erican Deople save a loar of wheat
bread a week for our allies by sub
stituting some o'her bread Btuff for
their own consumption, that alone
would amount to releasing 50,000.
000 loaves of wheat bread a week,
with disturbance of American
convenience or economic conditions
worth mentioning.
DRAFT CARD IX TRUNK
ALASKAN' HAS HARI> TRIP
Failure to carry his registration
card with, him caused George Worthy
a former Northwestern League ball
piaver, enough trouble in getting
out of Alaska to make a session in
the trenches look like a happy holi
day.
Wortn enrolled at Fairbanks early;
during »fce three months' registra
tion reriod in the North but he lost
his card. He put in the bottom of
his trunk and promptly forgot about
it. Later in the summer he de
cided ;» come outside, locked the
trunk and shipped it to Seattle,
while be mushed leisurely orer the
trail to the coast. Not until he
was 200 "miles ">n his "way did he
remember that he had nothing to
show he was not a slacker.
When the boat landed in Seattle
he found that word of his coming
had preceded him and he was de
tained for several hours.
Luckily his trunk had arrived and
he was able to prove that he had
offered his service as a member of
Alaska's draft quota.
CORDOVA IS PROMISING TOWN
Andrew Stevenson, who recently
returned from a visit to the Bank
of Alaska in Cordova, said that Cor
dova 'u many respects is is the moiU
promising town In the north. Ad
jacent to the city are 9 salmon can
neries and two clam canneries.
Four hundred fifty men are em
ployed in the Kennecott copper pro
perties back of Cordova, and 550
men »ra employed in other copper
properties in the district. Cordova
is fast becoming the home of large
moneyed interests and gives promise
of becoming one of the moat per
manent and prosperous towns of
the ^est. [ |_ij
