THE REASON OR
CENSORSHIP
’’Why must ray boy’s lett> r
be censored? Why cm't tl e
let him tell me where he is ai d
what he is doing?Surely a moth
er has a right to know s teh
things. Besides, he is a loyal Am
erican and could be trusted4’
It would be most unnatural if
American parents did not feel
that way. But they forget that
in the end censorship is for the
safety of the men themselves.
An American officer, and this
is a true story, indiscreetly men
tioned, in a letter home, tin
name of the French village
where his regiment was billetec
This slipped by the censor &
the letter was published in hi>
local newspaper. Shortly after
ward the Germans launched a par
ticularlydestructive raid against
that town, w^hich before had not
been attacked. The officer was at
loyal American, as were the old
home-folks who innocently gave
his letter to the loyal little news
paper. But good American lives
were needlessly jeopardized.
Soldiers will die the victims of
our carelessness before we fully
learn this lesson, but we are
learning fast.
BANK of ALASKA
Congratulates the people of Me Carthy and vicinity for the spirit of
victory shown in the Liberty drive just closed.
We would advise all who have installments to me et to open an
account with the Bank of Alaska, ai d rot cnJy ha\e a ready
means of meeting the payments as they become due, but associate
yourselves with an institution that counts every depositor a friend.
The German spy system is
ceaselessly collecting frag nents
of fact, this is material patiently
pieced together to make up
that complete story of the aum
her, location and quality of oar
soldiers without which no attack
could hope to succeed.
Remember the German object
