fliough it be only for a day ho will

welcomed as sincerely as his de

Endowed by nature with patriotism
from a lineage of patriots, loyalty
lo country aud reverence to the
most beautiful emblem in the
known world means true American
ism. When a. maa in middle life
comfortably gituatsu, surrounded by
l>iagant environment and prominent
in me Uuisnes3, 'social and civic
life of his community heeds his
country's call, he is truly endowed
-with that splendid spark of patriot
ism (which is so much admired and
which has placed America in the
enviable position wherg it command
the respcet and admiration of the
nations of the world. A country
.which has neither met defeat nor
its glorious emblem of the , Stars
and Strips ever been dipped to an
enemy nor its army or navy bent
its knees to a conqueror. (
It is because of the patriotism
and loyalty of its sons that Ameri-j
ca holds its rank^ among the na

it -s because of the splendid
form o' government that the0e sons

moreover anxious, to sacrifice their
lives that their country may J live
and continue supreme in all things.
Theso Qualifications are commend

the case which comes home to An

The people of Anchorage sincere^

will return to his adopted city
where he has been, prominent j in
every phase of business and social
Ufa which has tended to benefit
and uplift the community. [!
Dr. Westermann will be sorely
missed for he is an asset to j An
chorage or any community; lie is
a man who has the courage ofjhis

DEVELOPING SOLDIERLY
QUALITIES
Tho Question as to,whether it la
letter to join the colors now or
with a later contingentt is j not
worth arguing, since tjie decision,
has otHUi maUe for each man by
lot. An ambitiou$ man, however,
will bo glad to join now. It gives
him a b.etter chance for promotion.
The commissioned officers of the
first* contingent araj picked men
|who have voluntarily gone through
the hardest kind of training. The I
officers of later contingents will be j
drawn largely from the men enlisted
in jthe first contingents. There is
plentv of opportunity here for every
I man to use his brains and. his en
i orgy and to earn promotion accord
ing to his worth. This does not
mean easy or quick advancement,
jit means |only that you will have
your fail chance—and you would
ask for nothing more—to develop
yourself and to climb upward step
by step. I
In order to jinalu. good in the
National Army you must, first of
all, fit yourself to [carry with cred-j
it the 'simple title of 'American Citi*
zen-spldier — one of t)ie proudest
titles in the world.. This means
that you must develop in yourself
the | qualities of a soldier. The
more quickly and tthoroughly you
cultivate them, the greater jWill be
your satisfaction and succss.
There is very little real different*
of opinion as to soldierly qualities.
They have been determined by ages
of exDerince. Weapons change, but
the soldier who handles |the weap
on s remain much the same.
THE BASIC QUALITIES
There are thre^ twiuic qualities
without which no man oan be a
real soldier even though he may
temporarily; wear a uniform. They
are:
Loyalty, {
Obedience,
Physical Fitness. J
A man without these qualities
is in the way and is a source of
weakness to an army, both in the
camp and on the field .of battle.
•23 STATES HAVE EXCEEDED
THEIR REGULAR ARMY QUOTA
Twenty-three states up to the
present date have oversupplied_ their
war quota of men for the Regular
Army and aided to bring the total
of enlistments since April 1 up to
the mark of lSe^OS^men.
The State of Pennsylvania leads
the list by offering 20,796 volun
teers, a [number jvhich exceeds by
more tthau 5,000 hor quota of 15,
330 men. New j York State runs a
close second with 20,585 men when
she was asked for only118,226. Mon
tana aud Utah were both asked for.
750 men and each State ha/^ [come
forward with more than, 1,700, a
record which is beaten only by Ne
vada, which has already given more
than five times its quota of 162
men. |
Other States which have given
more than their quota are |Cali
fornia, Colorado, Ccwinecitcut, Dela
ware, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, In
diana, j Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, |New
Jersey, Oregon, Washington, and
Wyoming. • •
counted on to do his part in the
world's great j war as he did in bis
life in Anchorage, faithfully and
well. I | ' i i
If Dr. Westermann goes through
his part in the war unscathed J he
expects to return [to Anchorage 1
where ha will be sincerely welcomed
bjr the entire citizenship. He may
return unhonored jand unsung ex
cept tbit he did his duty. Bis •
may not be the j hero's glory but
the glorv of faithfulness and loyal
ty will ever be his and always be
recognized. His friends know that
he will do hi9 part and accept his
fate regardless of J consequenc
es and without the expectations of
rewards or praise other than an
honorable discharge from the ranks
of his country's victorious army. '
Dr. Westermann has gone to pre
pare for war and with Mm'goes the
admiration of an entire citizenship i
who know that his army career will (
bo honorable and worthy and who ]
trust and pray that hig return will (
bo safe and speedy tto Anchorage j

(Anchorage Times)
Through, the establishment of spe
cial factory work or other means ot
production adapted to the ability
Df the men, suitable employment
will be provided for incapacitated
Canadian soldiers by [the Trench
Workers of Canada, an organiza
tion incorporated under the law
Df the province jof Ontario. It is
supposed to employ the soldiers
whQ enlisted in the Canadian j ex
peditionary! forces regardless of
their native country.
It is the purpose of the directors
Df the organization | to make as
ample provisions as possible for em
ploying: the returned soldiers who
ara unable to secure steady em
ployment | in ordinary industrial
channels and whose pensions will
not oe sufficient for their main
tenance. (To meet their needs, it
is the intention of the officials of
the organization to,establish factory
work adapted to their several abili
ties. I
Only one line of manufacture will
be adoo'ed at the beginning, and
as circumstances warrant|and make
possible, other lines will be added
from time to time. The proposed
lines of JmaunfacSure include rope,
cordage, school (bags, carpet
slippers, carpet bags, some classes of
tO£S, leather goods and other lineg
requiring only simple machinery (and
few operations. All goods produc
ed will bear the registered name of
"Trench," so a>s to indicate the
source of production t and the char
acter o£ the labor employed.
All officils of the company will
serve without remuneration, with
the understanding that they shall de
vote j'heir spare time to the work.
Returned soldiers alone 'will | be
employed, with the possible excep
tion of a foreman or manager, who
would need to be an expert in man
ufacturing. All profits will be
held in the [company treasury for
the extension of the business and
object of the organization.
On [account of the nature of the
work and the elimination of all
interest and dividend [charges, the
funds for the establishment of the
work for the soldiers will be [re
ceived tnrough private subscriptions
The factory will be open at all
times to subscribers and company
accounts will bo subject to public
audit. The Trench Workers j of
Canada has Its office at 153 Glad
stone Avenue, Hamilton, Canada.
