TRAIL DAY
The weather man evidently ap
proves the plains for trail day to
morrow. Ite bas come out of the
crouch which he has displayed for
several rainy days, and t2;is morn
ing f he sua came back on the job,
with every indication of being pre
pared to do h« bit toward trail
building.
This is not a weather fore cast.
It's just a reminder that some of
the trails leading out of Skagway
will be repaired tomorrow. The
Aliune club started the movement
and members o." the club and citiz
ens who aro r.ct members are 3ur«
pcr'i.ig it because they consider im
proved trails a benefit to the city.
The summer season is nearly her^
That means the tour^t season is
uot far off. The attractions of
the Skagvay c)u_try s'aould be
made as accessible to the tourists
as possible.
So. for a day, let's forget the
war tomorrow and build trialsT The
results to be accomplished are
wort1- while. Mayor Ashley h!a«
the day nslde for the work.
A WAR PRAYER
There is no need to make the
obvious comparison betwe«ai the
war prayer that follows and those
of the nation the world is lighting.
The Little Paper of Londoa, which
recently published it, says:
"This is the tremendous prayer
which the men on British warships
hear as they thunder into battle:
" 'O most powerful and glorious
Lord God, the Lord of hosts, that
ruleth and commandeth all things:
Thou sittest in the throne judging
right, and therefore we make our
address to thy divine majesty In
this our necessity, that thou would
est take the cause into thine own
hand and judge between us and
our enemies. Stir up thy strength,
and come and help us; for thou
givest not always the battle to the
strong, but canst save by many or
few. O let not our sins now cry
against us for veugeanc e; but 1
hear us, thy poor servants, begging
for mercy and imploring thy help,
and that thou wouldest be a de- 1
feaso unto ua in. the face of the
enemy. Make it appear that thou '
&r* our Savior and mighty Deliver- ;
er, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.'
"That was the moving prayer 1
oar he-roes heard at Trafalgar; it
was the prayer osed at the battle
of Jutland. It must have been 4
stirring thought to our seamen
tha' this very prayed was that whlcU
had come from the hearts of those |
who fought yitfc Nelscn." jj
APPEAL IS MADE
TO AID BELGIUM
A million little belgian chidren
are under nourished. They are
victims of the war thaf has left
Belgium scarred by Ita ruthless
destruction. Will you help a fund
w&ich will buy them food?
This la the appeal of Herbert C.
Hoover, la charge of Belgium re
.'lef since 1914, is making to Amer
icans. The .Rocky Mountain club
has enlisted in the movement. It
has asked Governor Strong to pre
sent the situation to Alaskans.
The governor has referred the ap
peal to Mayor Howard Ashley so
»ha* be put before citiz^nd
of Skagway.
8 Coots per Capita {
"H'therto we, the most prosper
ous people in the ^vorld," to
quo'o from Governor Strong's let
ter to Mayor Ashley, "have fallen
Car ?»hOTt of the example set by o
'her countries, even those stagger
ins under the burden of war. A
inerica ihaa given eight cents per
capita against 18 cents in Canada,
$2.34 in Nea- Zealand and $6.25 in
^Tasmania."
It Is not due to a typographical
error Hyat no dollar mark, follow—
'he eight cents given by Americans,
tfti by a fat figure, appears before
The figures are official.
The Rocky Mountain club, which
ti'ar'ed i's Hoover-Belgian fund
movement by turning over to the
tond money that had b*en subscrib
ed lor a new clubhouse, has many
members among Alaska mining me
Governor Strong is one of the hon
cx-rj vice-presi|dents. John Hays
Hammond of Naw York, the emin
ent mining engineer, is president
of the club.
A Million A Month
One million dolllars a month is
approximately the amount by
whJch the Beglian relief fund has
fallen short of meeting Belgian's
food requirements. One cent a
month peT capita from Americans
would raise this sum.
The Rocky Mountain club has
taken an especial interest in the
movement for Belgian relief, be
cause Mr. Hoover was one of ltg
orominent members. The club, as
stated by Governor Strong, feels
that "it is incumbent on the mining
orofession anil mining sections of
fhe Territory to give wholeheart
ed support" to Chi- fund which has
been so largely administered, by min
lng men.
Mayor Ashley, in response to
t(;e governor's letter, appeals to
cicaeca of Skagway to give as gen
erously as possible to this cause.
Citizens here have given ta the Bel
gium fund but, as it is pointed out,
the Belgians are gtill in dire need,
and America must continue to give.

BIG FORGE FOR
"TEDDY'S" ARM
According to a late report, Co.*
ouel Roosevelt will have plenty of
prominent volunteers to join his
division in case there is an op
DOTtuaity to get into the war.
No applicants less than 25 years
old have been accepted. Sufficient
men have been enrolled to make
uo three full army corps, or more
Lhaa 130,000. More than 25,000 ne
jroes applied for enlistment. The
majcuity of the volunteers, both
>fficers and men, have had pre
vious military experience.
Colonel Roosevelt in a state
ment declared that, in furtherance
:t his plan to lead an army divi
sion to France, "it may be that
:onditions will become such as to
nake it wise" for him to accept a
:ommission as major general of the
National Guard offered by Governor
(Vhitman. His preference however,
le said, would be to raise a divi
lion oX volunteers.
