Russian war prisoners are in Ger

tubercular, and many of them are in
the last stages of the disease.

Rev. E. P. Ziegler will deliver a
short address during the intermission
at the vaudeville show on Monday
evening next.
Cordova is making a most enviable
record in its contributions to the sec
ond Red Cross war fund. Our quota
was fixed at $2,500, but at noon today
more than $4,500 had been subscribed,
and the amount is likely to exceed
$6,000 when the drive closes, on Mon
day night next.
The work of canvassing the town
goes merrily on, and judging from
the liberal manner in which all are
responding to the call, this town will
rank among the most patriotic ones
before the campaign is ever. This is
as it should be. Our people are more
prosperous than in some other sec
tions of Alaska, and they are expected
to do their best. Fortunately, they
are doing this, and Cordova can point
with pride to the assistance it is giv
ing in all matters pertaining to the
war.
Malcolm Brock, manager of the lo
cal drive, today received the following
self-explanatory telegram from C. D.
Stimson of Seattle, genera! manager
of the Red Cross war fund in the
Northwest:
“Thursday evening J reported to
National Committeeman Davidson
that Alaska had ‘gone over the top,’
being the first on the Pacific coast.
Davidson now asks every chapter in
Alaska to continue the glorious work
of endeavoring to double its quota.
The necessity for funds is much
greater than when the original re
quest was made, and is growing daily.
He depends upon Alaska Jo appre
ciate this fact and give with their
usual great generosity.”
A wire received by Thomas S. Scott
this afternoon from E. T. Stannard,
who is in New York, contains the
following cheerful information:
“Included in the Kennecott Copper
Corporation donation to the American
Red Cross second war fund is a spe
cial contribution of $25,000 made for
the account of the Alaska Chapter of
Red Cross, and this sum will be cred
ited to them.”"
In reply to the above Mr. Scott
wired Mr. Stannard as follows:
“Alaska appreciates contribution of
$25,000 by Kennecott Copper Corpora
tion, and especially your personal ef
forts in securing same. Presume this
sum will be deposited to the credit of
Kennecott Chapter of American Red
Cross, special war fund, as no Alaska
Chapter American Red Cross exists.
By so doing Alaska will receive credit
in its grand total. Cordova has more
than doubled its quota.”
HAPPENINGS OFLOGAL

friends of the Y. M. C. A. in Cordova.
