PATRIOTIC ALASKA
(Dawson News)
Alaska, the neighbor of Yukon if
preparing to help Uncle Sam and
the Allies in thy war. No doubt
Alaska will do her share.
Northerners aro not slow in any
game. They represent the begi
iroui many climes.
Vukouers already have dijtin
guisht.d themselves in many of the
cardost fought Laules of the war,
Alaskans uu doubt will prove ol
Uit: sasnta stern mettle.
Yukon has sent lu ijer cent ol
hyr while population. Ii Alaska doe
as weil she will have a big force
to her credit. But, of course, Ua
cle Sam is not day en ding on the
voluntary system, and is using thv
conscript method rrom the start
Alaska's pro rata, therefore, ma)
call at first for a much smallei
percentage of her population thai
I ukon has sent to date. But the
war is not yet over, and both ter
ritories yet have time and perhapi
opportunity awaiting them to writ*
much of the stirring history of the
world's brave deeds to their credit.
Alaska has formed many patriot
ic societies and also is to be taxed
like other parts of the Union fen
tho fighting of the nation's battles
Alaska, therefore, jvill contribute
of her men and money. Those whe
are taxed and who fight a nation't
battles deserve the highest privi
leges within the gift of a nation
The Alaskans, as w-ell as the Yukon
era, are fighting fcrr democracy and
all that the name comprehends
Vukoners in contributing theit
wealth and men to Canada have re
presentation—a full voice, a full
fledged member iu the national as
sembly oj Canada. But the Alas
kans continue at a disability. They
have a delegate to congress, but he
iiujj only a voice. .tie is mereiy a
spokesman and has no vote in con
gress. America now has the «>p
portunifj to do the graceful thin^
for hT brave Alaska sons. Let hei
raise Alaska to statehood and thus
give her a full representation tc
congress; or at least make the
necessary amendment to permit hei
member of the loyer house to vott
as well as speak In that assembly.
Men who light for a nation and
help pay its debts are entitled tc
a share in the shaping of ihe des
tiny of that nation. Let Uncle Sam
get Into step jvith. Johnny Canucfc
on. this broad pricip'.e ot democracy,
Alaskans are inking no com
plaint against serving under the
present conditions, and doubtlesj
will ba Just as eager for the fray
as though ther did have a vote In
national affairs, but to extend then
the franchise in the national as
sembly will be, to say the lea*t, a
graceful recognition and good busi
ness fcoUcj. _ | fa

GETTING AHEAD IN THE ARMil
Since regimental and compau of
ficers iiave full responsibility; for
the efficiency; of their teams they;
are given corresponding authority in
■promoting men from the ranks to
positions aa noncommissioned Offic
ers. For all practical purposes, thei
judgment as to the men under them
is regarded as final.
One fpoint as to which you may;
feel assured is th^ earnest desira
of every officr Lto give promotiou
to men who are beet Qualified—
in otner words, to select the men
who have cultivated th« soldierly
Qualities and in addition Bhow ca
pacity for further development and
for leadership. The officers ara
fully as much interested in promot
ing men on the basis of merit as
any of the men are interested in
securing promotion. For the offic
ers' own burdens are lightened and
their success is increased almost in
direct proportion to their ability tq
promote the right men.
Liiimtf® rur x iviuuwui*
Tiie first ranjt above private la
corporal. The corporal should ba
* real leader. He is expected to bq
more familiar with, the various man
uals »ud regulations »nd with, thq
duties of the men ia the squad thaij
ara the mea themselves. Pe is ex
pected also to use his influence
strongly toward building up soldier
ly qualities among these men.
Among the qualifications which
all noncommissioned officers Bhould
possess the following have been
selected by; one military writer aa
being of the first importance:
1. Proficiency as guides in close
order drills, and particularly ad
column leaders in route marching.
2. Aggressive leadership, especial
ly in drilling, marching, and fight
ing.
3. Ability to act a^ instructors.
4. Thorough knowledge of the
clemeuts of field service.
5. Tnorough knowledge of inter
ior guard duty.
6. Skill in range finding and in
estimating distances bo as to assist
men in firing accurately.
7. Proficiency in! leading patrols.
i. Ability to prepare written mes
sages that are clear, complete, and
concise.
9. Ability to sketch and read
maps. |
This list will suggest some of the
I lines along which you should work,
whenever you have the chance
>Iany of the non-commissioned of
ficers in the National Army will be
chosen. 'iot only because of the
knowledge or skill they already pos
sess, but also because they show ca
pacity tor further development and
for leadership.
vcrauiwi^ *
This question ol winning promo
tion oil comes back fo the question
of making yourself a thorough sol
dier, of demonstrating- that you
possess loyalty, discipline, »bedi
ence, physical fitness, intelligence,
cleanliness, cherfulness, spirit, ten
acity, and self-reliance—the nine
quali'Jes of a soldier.
The National Army must fit it
self for effective service at the
fron* in the shortest possible time.
To accomplish this result It must
produce out of its own ranis men
who dre fitted for promotion first
to places as noncommissioned of
ficers, either in the first contingent
or more probably in later eontin
gents.
This need Is your opportunity.
It is an opportunity not merely for
personal advancement— which In
time of war is a small thing to
work for—but more than that, an
opportunity to render to yonr coun
try the most effective Bervice of
which you are capable. Strive to
fit yourself for the duties and re
sponsibilities of leadership. Make
yourself count to the utmost in
the victorious defense of American
rights and principles to which the
National Army will devote Itself.
HOW SHIPPERS
AKE CO-OPERATING
The following facts indicate ef
forts which shippers are making
to heiD increase transportation ef
ficiency. I
In New Orleans, sugar, formerly

capacity of the cars is now being
loaded from 100 to 113 per cent
of the marked capacity.
At Libbv, Montana, a lumber com
pany, which in July 1916 loaded
an average of 22,268 ft. of lum
| ber per car, in July this year
increased tha Average loading tb
*6,383 Jt. |
A rubber company la the Mid
dle West which av«rag®d( 16,000 lb«.
of tire to the car before the cam
paign for intensive loading began
is now loading 32,000 lbs. of tireB
to the car,
An iron company in New York
State that formerly loaded pig iron
to 90 per cent of the marked ca
pacity of its cars increased Its load
ing to 107.2 per cent during the
period July 15th to July 8lit in
clusive.
In addition to co-operating by
intensive loading, a number of
shippers and manufacturers' asso
ciations have voluntarily agreed to
the abolishment of reconsignment
and diversion of cars in transit.

Mrs. M. E. Gagen, 1013-A Florids
St., San Francisco, Cal., says: "]
had dropsy and other kidnej
trouble and was miserable. Mj
back couldn't have given me any
more misery if I had broken it
My kidneys svere weak and my feet,
angles aad hands became swollen, a;
a result. I felt so miserable, run
down and depressed I was discour
aged. I could hardly bend over
because my back hurt me so much
Doan's soon strengthened and regu
lated my kidneys. The swelling
went away and I was again well
and had all my former) strength."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don'l
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Dean's Kidney Pills— the same
that Mrs. Gagen had. Foster-Mil
