lu speaking of the boys leaving
Ketchikan the Progressive Miner
;>rmts the folio-wing editorial:
The boys are gone; it is true; but
v e shall not forget theni anymore
uiau they are likely to forget us
■>bo remain. t>ehind. For, they have
undoubtedly noticed'already how we
appdeciate their valor as repre
sentatives of our community In the
_reat game in which they are to

are away, we shall consider them

hope that they shall soon return.
time for road work
The recent dry weather is a re
ruit'-dvr of the promise ma da by
the territorial road commission
that work on the Petersburg-Scow
Bay road was to start as soon as
weather conditions became favorable
this spring. jl*. ml
Suriup is now here, with as favor
able weather as may be expected in
this rather whimsical climate.
With the opening of this sea
son the need for the roadJ is more
• ^parent than ever before. The
Lii; cold-storage, fish-shipping
■ind cannery industries now open
iug at Scow Bay will be consider
ably handicapped until this road
it, put through, and th© Stand
ard Oil station, upon which work
has now started, will be practi
a'.ly inaccessible frv>ni' anywhere by
land.
The completion of this project is
ma'.ter of vital interest to Scow
iiav atd to Petersburg. If It is to
be completed this season, there
siiould be no further delay in mak
ii ; an all-together request that the
*urk oe started, as promised', right
now. i
I'NCI.K SAM STARTS
NEW tX>KI"ORATION
Houolulu, T. H.,—A new cor- \
pc ration, fostered by Uncle Sam, an$
capitalized at about $7,500,000 is to
be the successor to H. Hackfield &
Co.. which for a quarter of a cen
tury has boen Germany's outpost
in the South. Pacific. A. Mitchell
i'almer. natioanl custodian of alien
eaemy property has decided* that
every vestige of Germany's com
mercial prestige in this part of the
'world sha'i t>e eliminated.
The ne» company •will be Amer
ican in name and American in
control. None but those whose
Americanism is above question can
take stock and it is up to Bichard
il. Trent, as Mr. Palmer's Hawaii
agent, to say who 6ha!l and who
shall cot buy. It is possible that
naturalized' citizens and neutral
aliens snail be barred as it is the
government's intention to have it
a bona fide American corporation
I,r all time. Anyone who mani
pulates a deal wbereby stock is
taken for German interests to be
turned over after the war is liable j
to impirsonment and fine. '
MEMORIAL if
10 BE OBSERVED
The United States Senate passed
a resolution, the House of Repre
sentatives concurring, "That it be*
lug a duty peculiarly incumbent in,
a time of war to humbly aa»d de
vcutedly acknowledge oujj depend^
eiiCe on Almighty God and' to im
pl' His aid and protection, the
President of the United States be

the United States with religious
solemnity and the offerings of sup
plications to Almighty God for the
safety and welfare of our cause,
His blessings on our arms, and a
speedy restoration of an honorable
3Dd lasting peace to the nations of
the earth." President Wilson issu

servation of the resolution.
This is in addition to tfco usual

will remain open a few hours Later
this evening instead of openng up
tomorrow morniiig.
Several of the churches will hold'
services fitting the occasion.
The post office and cable office
will observe Sunday hours.
HITS AT WARMONGERS
Maximilian Harden Says They
Should Be Muzzled.
Qarman Editor Find* N# Justification
For Gloating Over Alltgtd Teu
tonic Triumph*.
London.—By reading the following
extract from a recent number of the
Zukunft. Maximilian Hardea's German
newspaper, one may understand why
Herr Harden Is in constant difficulties
with the nillltary authorities:
"After all, what special Justification
is there for the Pan-Germans and the
war at any price mouth heroes to float
over recent triumphs oyer the Eng
lish?
"It Is true that the U-boats hare
contrived t» bring It about that In an
English hotel or boarding house do
more meat is supplied at breakfast and
that afternoon tea guests recetve only
an ounce and a half of bread or cake.
Also an old tnald of Dover, who fed
her fourteen little dogs with milk and
biscuits, has had to atone for her
crime with a five pound note. All this,
however, does not yet spell the decay
of the British empire.
"It Is time that the warmongers
were muzzled and that the authorities
once for nil gave them to understand
that they are determined, whenever
the claims of any nation or (roup of
peoples are found to be justified, that
Germany would honestly aid them in
establishing themselves on a deun ba
sis of self-government.
"May our rulers reflect while yet
there Is time that, unless a new order
be substituted for the old one of vlo- !
lence and force, human life will be- |
come Intolerable aud all hopes of hu
man development will be rendered
sterile for ages to come.
"Questions of the very highest Im
port are at stake, questions that are
not concerned about securing Qer- •
many's world power, but that Involve
the utilization of that power in the up
building of a new, bright and Joyful
human world, in which, if Its founda
tions are to stand strong for all time,
every nation, the greatest, the imall
est—Germany as well as all the others
—must sacrifice^ self to secure Its
neighbor's welfare.
"This Is the command of the hour.
Dare Germany hesitate In obeying It?" i
BUYS THRIFT STAMP
WHEN HE WANTS DRINK
Vew York.—"Give me a whis
ky," a nwn demanded of Mrs.
H. S. Collins, in charge of a
war savings booth Id the Flat
Iron building here.
Mrs. Collins handed him a
War Savings stamp, for which
he paid a quarter. "Mmm.
tastes good: gimme another,"
continued the gonial stranger
and paid another quarter.
"Too see. It's this way," ex
plained the man as he pasted his
stamps on an almost filled thrift
card, "whenever I feel like hav
ing a drink I hustle and buy a
stamp Instead, and then I al
ways buy a second one for hav
ing the will power to buy the
first one instead of a drink."
