Residents of Alaska are com
plaining bitterly over the misman
agement of the postal service, in
au attempt to save at the expense
of the citizens. Steamship officials
now refuse to receive letters aboard
the vssels, and as the steamships
seldom sail on schedule time, it is
a positive hardship on the people, as
many orders have to bo mailed at
tile last cossible moment and the
postmsaters are closing the mails
it 5 o'clock the evening before the
vessels are supposed to s&il.—Val

"SONG WILL WIN WAR"
— 1 H
So declares Ennna Roberts, the con
tralto, who was chosen to represent
America's be6t type In the music fes
tival at Ann Arbor and the great Bach
festival at Bethlehem, Pa.
"A nation is represented by its songs.
The national anthems of America,
France and England are spiritual, up
lifting, and Inspiring; the national
anthem of Germany is aggressive and
acquisitive—and breathes bondage.
"Don't you see that the songs of the
allies express a people bound to con
quer?
"So Important Is this subject," con
tinues Miss Roberts, "that colleges are
establishing bureaus to study the gov
ernment singing classes In camps to
inspire soldiers through song.
TOWN IS SHOT TO PIECES
Minnesota Village Loses Band and
Baseball Team to the Ma
rine Corps.
St. Paxil, Minn.—Tsle, Minn., was a
village of 75 population, situated on
the Soo line near Mllle Lacs Lake,
Minnesota.
Not a small part of Its population
was of young men, so It had a baseball
team and a brass band, just as any
other really ambitious village should
have.
The past tense is used advisedly.
Isle, Minn., still Is a village, situ
ated Just where it always has been.
But In no other way can the past and
present be compared. It is without Its
baseball team, its brass band—and Its
young men.
For the baseball team and the brass
band—20 of 'em, have enlisted in the
Marine corps.
"The town's simply shot t' pieces!"
declared an elderly resident, one of
the few left.
U-Boat Victim to Get Even.

Anchorage public schools opened
this morning -with an enrollment of
154 pupils. This first day enroll
ment. is . *v>bably a criterion of the
number of Anchorage pupils and is
beyond expectation of Prof. T. R.
McAnalljr and those familiar with
local conditions.
Lagt year's total enrollment was
240 and the decrease is only natural
from the fact that a number of.
families have left Anchorage during!
tlio past year. Enrollment by gradul
was: Fire grade, 28; second grade,
23; third grade 20; fourth and
ffth grades, 28; sixth grade, 16;
seventh and eighth grades, 17; and
high school 22. Total 164.
