The Bank of Alaska reports that
a greater uuiuber oI individual de
posits were made in the bank ftt
Skagway yesterday, December Gth.,
representing also a greater actual
volume of money deposited, than
any day since October 26th, the
day. before the close of the Lib
erty Bond campaign. Coming as
it does at a time when business is
presumably at the low. water mark
this item should bring considerable
encouragement to those wjib can see
nothing but gloom ahead.
In s connection it is interesting
to note that In" spite of the en
ormous payments made by the de
positors of the bank gn their lib
erty loan subscriptions, the re
sources of the Bank of Alaska, are
well over $850,000, a remarkable
growth for an institution a little
over 20 months old. Before the
recent liberty loan subscriptions
ajid tiie heavy payments made by
merchants for their winter supplies
the resources reached the One Mil
lion mark something the directors
and officers scarcely believed pos
sible in less than t\vo years of ex
istence.
The total number of depositors in
the Bank of Alaska is slightly overt
2.300.

"Neither the War Department
nor the Woman's Committee of
the Council of National Defense is
furnishing najnes of soldiers for
godmothering," says Mrs. Prilij)
.Moore, Chairman of the Health and
Recreation Department 04 the Wo
man's Committee. She says) that
this oractice has not been found
to be practicable.
"While the War Department ap
preciates deeply the fine epirit in
which the women we offering to
write to soldiers at the front," says
Mrs. Moore, "the experiences of
France and England have proven,
that tne olan ultimate y works more
harm than good. General Siebert
has recently issued a statement froii
France to this effect, showing his
marked disapproval of the idea.
"We receive so many letters iisk
ing for the names of soldiers that
a statement should be made thru
the press stating that we are not
endorsing the plan. We have sent
out to all our state committees a
plan 0' organized work which is be
ing done under the direction of the
Commission on Training Camp Ac
tivities. This Commission, I un
derstand, has authorized only two
agencies to take charge of such
questions concerning camp activi
ties as that of godmothering. These
are the sub-committees on protect
ive work for girls of the New York
Probation and Protective Associa
tion, Miss Maud Miner, Director,
and the Hostess Houses Committee,
under proper chaperonage for girls,
