WHY YOU SHOULD GIVE In the less fortunate countries abroad, severe food shortages, actual starvation conditions, lack of fuel and other things promise a grim winter of suffering for millions of people in spite of all that can be done. But the money raised in America through the current National War Fund campaign will do much to ease these hardships. Greece faces actual famine conditions. Meats sell for as high as $70 a pound and rice for $95 a pound. And there is almost none to buy. Wood for fuel sells for $1.50 a pound. The death rate in Greece is far in | excess of the birth rate. In Belgium, where 1500 calories per day per person is considered for bare sustenance, the present calorie allotment is 900 per person. Barley, oats and rye are not available. Nor are vegetables and sugar. The fuel shortage is acute. Holland is suffering from a 40 percent dietary deficiency. Soup is the main diet for adults and children. The Germans have confiscated fuel sup-| plies and diverted coal to their own war plants. Present fuel supplies in Norway are sufficient to jast only until January. In France the meat ration is one-quarter pound per week. é Many other countries face conditions more | terrible. [ We, in Juneau and vicinity are asked to raise — Thg American Language (Cincinnati Enquirer) For our boys in Britain the government has pro- vided a kind of guide book. It dwells with particularity on the way the British use the English language. And now comes Alicia Street with a perfectly delightful Earl L. Hunter. book for the British. Its title is “U. 8. A. At Work J. Bert Caro And At Play.” Mrs. Street tells the English all about C. J. Bailey us in a fair and most entertaining way. And she, too, devotes herself to a $tudy of the English language as we speak it She thinks it is perfectly proper that we have what she calls the American language. She has no patience with those Englishmen who feel it is pre~ sumptuous on our part to have developed our own language Why not, she asks?

Daly, Nome agent for the Alaska Steamship Company, that town was on the threshold of its mining development and the following year was to see the expenditure of $4,000,000 for installation of dredges and equipment. v The work of gathering data on labor conditions in Alaska, as directed by the Territorial Legislature the previous spring, was to begin activity within a short time, according to B.
