"America For Americans
A WAKEN El> AMERICA
By Scott C. Hope.
KUitor 1'ost -Intelligencer
Uncle Sam is not going into war
uuprepared. (He is prepared and
urci>aling. His Job is stupendous,
but be '3 equal to it.
Limitless resource* are at his
He,ha3 no &nd of money to use
in levying^ war and no end of men
to do the fighting.
As a captain of industry, Uncle
Sam today is the most powerful per
souagi ou the scene of world ao
tlvilk*. He represents awakened
America.
Strengthening Jus forces, extend
ing an4 conserving his energies,
t'Ui:dmg a war machine of a magni
tuua beyond the grasp of American
imagination iu the past—creating aij
army the like of -which this repub
lic has never hitherto seen or pic
tured iu its wildest fancy — Uncle
cam, at the same time, is exteuding
substantial aid to Great Britain, to
France, to Italy and to Russia, help
in$ Ibem with millions, and through
agencies of mercy and relief, suc
•orin<- the peoples of smaller na
Juiis ;that have borne the brunt

\*o\e and beyond all this. Un
cle Sam. simultaneously, is cleaning
douse, stamping out sedition and
treason, quickening the American
conscience, stimulating the Ameri
can «plrlt and putting the country
Into the war and behind the *'ar—
solidified and unified to put down
autocracy and restore peace.
Under,his zealous incentive and
roDust inspiration the nation itself,
ioart from the fighting forces r-H
tjlug to the colors, is asserting a
virile loyalty and demonstrating a
»elf-sacrificing patriotism that in
urebeyond peradventure the suc
.esstul prosecution of the war.
Much J was made — overmuch,
udeed — of the country's military
»n preparedness. [Certainly it was
e.-y blind to its dangers and tardy
u arming itself. But the develop
ueut of Americanism was the pre
equislte and most urgent need.
Unequipped »it]i men and guns,
wanting in ships and ammunition,
nefficient and undiscplned in the
uilitvj sen^e, unorganized and un
oordlnated, at ease with itself,
elf-centered and dwelling in fan
led Immunity from peril — with
hallow-pated pacifists abroad In
he land enunciating their empty
.octrlnes and a noisy school of
smagogucs, ever encumbering the
arth« .plying their vicious [trade—
ever was any nation so ill-prepar
d to enter war.
But what a transformation in six

As if by hnagic efficiency has

BOND
Buy Liberty Bonds for your chil
dren. Let them feel that they are
helping their country and ut the
same time give them a lesson in
thrift.
In addressing the conference of
woman's liberty loan committee the
other day Dr. Anna Howard Shaw,
chairman of the woman's committee
of the Council of National Defense,
^all: "Let every woman tie her
childrf r. up to the Government by a
little bond. Let everybody tie up.
.We want to do our part, every wo
man o' us. You and I are ready
with ';>j men of our country if
need be to die, but we are also
ready to live and serve for the hope
of that flag of ours which means all
that rc other flag has ever meant
or can ever, mean to the world."
WHERE THE LIBERY LOAJf
MONEY GOES
The money you lend to your Gov
ernment when you subscribe to the
Liberty Loan will enable it to sup
oly our boys who have been draft
ed or who have volunteered to
give iheir lives to protect our lib
erty and property with the neces
sary arms with which to fight; the
necfSsary life insurance and means
to sunpore their dependent fami
lies while they are at the front.
Every family should own a liberty
bond.

WHITE HORSE MAN'S
ARM BROKEN'
* JVhitehorse, Oct. 17.—Claire Mar
cel, gas engineer and motor boat
aud tractor expert for theWhite
Pass railway here, recently sus
tained a break of the right arm
just above the wrist. He was crank
ing the company's motor truck and
the engine backfired and caught
Claire unprepared. Evreything
seems to be coming Claire's way
these days. He only got out of
the hospital a few days ago after
having been laid up as the result
of "retting too "antimagavouio", and
familiar with one of those two fac
<=d axes. Claire got real chummy,
called the axe by its first name and
a few little things like that, which
the axe resented and bit his foot
clean off from one of his toes.
A Thorough Test
One To Convince the Most Skepti
tical Skagwaj- Reader
The test of time is the'test that
counttj.
Doan's Kidney Pills have made
their reputation by effective action.
The following is typical.
Skagway residents should be con
vinced.
The testimony is confirmed—the
proof complete.
Testimony like this cannot be ig
nored.
Mrs. Ellen Watson, 4 05 E. Thir- j
tieth St., Tacoma, W'asn., says: "Af
ter an operation and being in the |
hospital three months my kidneys
were weak. My back ^a$ lame and
there wag a heavy dull ache across
my loins. My kidneys sometimes
acted too frequently and lometimes
not often enough and bladder trou
ble caused me a great deal of dis
tress. Doan's Kidney Pills relieved
me of all that trouble." (State
ment given November 4, 1915.)
On May 23, 1917 Mrs. Watson
iaid: "I can never say enough in
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills. They
:ured me of kidney complaint and
:he cure has lasted."
- Price 60c. at all dealres. Don't
jlmply ask for a kidney remedy—
jet Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Watson had. Foster
