The wind can make a man button
his cott tight, the sun can force
him to take oXX his coat, but it
takes a day like Skagway had this
day to mate persons; wash windows,
someone started the thing last night
when the windows o f the Pacific
SteamshD Co., were washed clean,
yes CLEAN. This morning, bright
and early .the windows of L. E.
Reynoldson's express and steaui
sh.p office were given a shine hard
tu equal; then followed a scrub
Ding of the cable office windows,
and before noon the Idea had struck
tae whole town aad nearly all Broad
way was given a window cleaning.
Everyone remarks on the day.
Early this morning t>efore the sun
arose, blue clouds could be aeeu
iu the north, and about nine
o'clock s hazy cloud hung down
in front of A. B. mountain so that
the peak could be seen from under
neath. a^d the 6hadow of the peak
coald be seen on the oloud above,
making an Ideal curtain cicturei for
a theatre. Such days as this are
what, bring1 people to Skagway; for

3RD LIBERTY
LOAN WAR'S
ANNIVERSARY
Secretary McAdoo authorizes the
follow lug:
The campaign for the third Lib
erty loan 'will bo opened on tthe
6th <f April, 1918, the first an
niversary of the declaration of a
state of war between the United
States and Gernuuny.
The amount, terms, and condition^
of the loan have not yet been (te
dded because these features are
dependent upon further legislation.
I expect i.0 ask the Congress at an
early date to grajit the necessary
additional authority. Of course, the
opening date of the campaign is
somewha* dependent upon the .new
legislatiOL, but it is hoped staid be
lieved th.a> the matter can be con
sidered and determined in ample
time to bej;in the campaign on the
date suggested.
Day CoMseomted In History.
April 6 will forever be a conse
crated day in American history and
it seems peculiraly appropriate thai
the opening of the second year of
our participation in. this war for
the honor and rights of America
and che freedom of the world ahoultf
be celebrated with a Nationwide I
drive for another. Liberty loan.
The campaign, should begin with
great' emonstratlons of patriotism
In every city, town, and hamlet in
the country that will truly express
the spirit o* aroused America. On
this d'tte every America^ should
pledge anew to his Government the
full imasure of his resources and re
solve to make every required sacri
fice in th>> same fervent spirit that
impels our gallant sons in the
itreuchrs of France ^nd on the
waters of tht Atlantic to shed their
' blood in America's sacred cause.
I
| Date Considered a Fittiiw One
To v-irry forward America's essen
j tial part in this war for righteous
ness and justice, every man and wo
• man n the country) must lend their
! available means to the Government
and I know of jio more fitting time
] for such a patriotic response to the
can of duty than the begiunng of
the second year of the wax.
' The campaign in all probability
■ will iast,three or four weeks and
announcement of the opening date
' is made at this time in accordance
j with my promise to make public alt
I matters connected with the loan as
soon a3 determined and In order
j tliat ample time may be given every
j community to prepare for the event.
I earnestly hope that parades and
I patriotic meetings will be held in
' all parts of the country. The Trea
sury department will endeavor to
make the observance of the anni
versaiy of the declaration of war aa
memorable us wag the patriotic ob
servance during the second Liber
ty loan campaign of Liberty Day oi|
the 24th of October, 1917.
