They wear no uniform. They share no medals of yur armed services. Yet they are fighting what is ;0 far the most dangerous phase of our war—and they deliver the goods.” Proportionately, the casualties of the Merchant Marine exceed those of any other branch of service. The Army has reported total casualties—dead, wounded or missing—of 19,767 out of 4,000,000 men, or less than one-half of 1 percent. The Navy, with 500,000 men, has suffered total casualties of 13,000, or slightly more than 2 percent The Merchant Marine has suffered almost 3 per- cent casualties among its 80,000 men. Torpedoed in the darkness, bombed from above, {blown to bits by exploding cargoes, cremated on a flaming sea—these merchant seamen have given their lives for their country as bravely as any soldier or sailor. Often they have no guns with which to fight their ruthless enemy. Although pay of these men is relatively high— |averaging $200 a month for war duty—they enjoy ;nu pension provisions, no allotments for their depen- | dents, no guarantee for their future in the event of l'imihll)l\'. | In all due.

Announcements had been received here of the marriage of Miss Elizabeth Williamson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Williamson, of Prescott, Wis., to Homer G. Nordling, son of Mrs Harriet L. Nordling, of Juneau. The wedding took place in Prescott, October 16, and Mr. and Mrs. Nordling left the following day for the coast and were to arrive on the Princess Mary, sailing from Vancouver October 27. Both were well known in Juneau. Mus. Nordling had spent the last year in Juneau and was a niece of Mrs. Grace Bostwick and a eousin of Miss Lovice Bost- wick, Juneau residents.
