ALASKA NATIVES ARE
DONORS TO RED CROSS
Alaska Is in a class by herself. It
is doubtfu! if any other section of the
country has a firmer hold on her sons
and daughters when there Is work to
be done. Set a task for these natives
and they'll see it through.
Witness tills letter from Ivan Far
R'.vich, a pupil of the Akhiok school,
to Mipp. cmoi or mo Alaska
division, United States bureau of ed
ucation, The letter is dated October
14, and inclosed a check for $158 for
the Red Cross. It says:
"I am writing you in behalf of my
people, the natives of Akhiok.
“We are forwarding this day,
through our teacher. Mama roller,
our contribution to the Red Cross
fund. We want the government to
know we appreciate the great strug
gle it has on hand, to keep us free
people. Our teachers have told us
what has happened to the people of
Russia, Belgium, France, Serbia and
other countries at the hands of the
Germans, and we do not wish to be
treated the same.
"We want our country to win this
war, and to make all the people free |
once again: we want to help, and our
tencheir say that by giving to the
] Red Cross, sticking to our jobs, put
ting up plenty of fish and saving sugar j
and flour, so our soldiers can he led, j
and kept strong to tight so our court- j
I try can win the war We have been j
■ taught that it is our duty to help j
\ debt for our country, and by giving. j
and saving food, we are helping tie
•ar men who are lighting for us.
' This letter 1 will now read and |
‘explain to all my people then send |
it to you with our Red Cross, [’lease ;
send Red Cross buttons.’
MERCY ASKED
FOR FINNISH
SOCIALISTS
STOCKHOLM, Nov IS. (Corres
pondence of thc> Associated Press I.
Socialist and Liberal members of the
Swedish Riksdag, numbering Kill, have
signed a petition for mercy for nine
Finnish Socialists, who have been con
demned to death or imprisonment by
the White Guard for alleged rebellion.
They assert there is good reason for
calling the recent regime in Finland
a "White terror."
They were among the best repre
sentatives of Finnish Social Democ
racy. Some of them were on their
way to the opening of the diet when
they were arrested. No one here is
convinced they were responsible for
th bloody deeds laid at their door,
seven out of the nine convicted having
against their own convictions, and
most unwillingly, served as officers of
the Red government
Yrjoe Maekeling. a veteran advo
cate of freedom, is alleged to have
written agitating articles. Ketu Kalin,
who against his will, was made editor
of the Red official gazette, signed a
proclamation calling on the Reds to
lay down their arms, l’aayo Leppae
nett did not agree with the insurrec
tion, and went to Vlborg where he
acted as an editor, and for the articles
he then wrote was condemned to die
by the White Guard. Nestor Aronen
and live others were convicted on the
same sort, or even weaker, testimony.
After careful examination of the rest
of the cases, where sentences of from
twelve to three years at hard labor
were imposed, there is a most lively
impression here that the recent re
gime in Finland tried to rid the coun
try of the Socialist party.
