FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 20. 1918
WORST KIND OF SLACKER.
One of the most despicable kind of
slackers is the subject of a neutral
country who has taken out his first
papers in the United States and then
makes an affidavit withdrawing his in
tention to become a citizen in order
to avoid military service. Such a per
son is Adolph Lee, who is registered
with the local board, lie was for
merly employed by the Pioneer Pack
ing company but is now a resident of
\herdeen. Washington. He is the first
and it is to be hoped tin* last of his
kind who will claim exemption upon
the ground tated from the local
hoard.
Under the law Lee is forever barred
from ! < • <uuing a citizen of the United
State and as we understand the pro
\isioie "i the act. is to he deported
jc li nan'. •• outitry at the ( x pi ra
il- a. i 1: ar Hut why wait until
tile i en,i ina I-mii D| hostilities to send
this slacker hack hack home There
i no room in \merva for such as he
and the sooner he is started on his
way the better for all concerned, us
it is a case of "good riddance of bad
rubbish.”

HELP BRING THE BOYS BACK
As you walk along the streets of
Cordova any evening you probably no
tice the absence of many faces which
six months or a year ago were quite
familiar. Many of them—bright, am
bitious, smiling young chaps—have
quit the pursuits of civil life to don
the armor of the soldier to help fight
the battle for liberty and humanity.
A number of them have already
■tossed the Atlantic and some of
hem are no doubt at this very tno
nent in the front line trenches or
iclping drive the Teuton forces back
i heir smiles, we hope, have not dis
ppeared. but grim determination has
denied their hearts to do their bit
> wipe the lust vestige of “kultur"
: ml Prussian militarism from the face
.[ the earth.
You and I want to bring back these
boys—every one of them safely back
home. We want them back again as
a part oi our daily life, even if we
can not boast of a service flag in the
window, denoting a vacant chair at
the table
Rut before we can expect to see
them again we must see that they are
properly fed, clothed and furnished
with the guns and ammunition to ac
complish the task they have set out
to do. Cordova's quota for the Fourth
Liberty loan will he about $100,000,
or 1,00(1 $100 bonds. If you will buy
but two of these $100 bonds the money
will place 5,000 machine gun rifle
cartridges in the hands of some young
American gunner- very likely a Cor
dova boy. These cartridges will not
only help to lessen the total of fight
ing Huns, but protect him from at
tack and make his return more sure.
Make your contribution—no, not a
contribution, just a loan—at least
5.000 cartridges. Then buy another
$100 worth of bonds to make it 5,000
more.

prediction that Mr. Slater will head
the ticket. Anchorage Times.
ONE U-BOAT CAPTAIN
IS REALLY HUMAN
Submarine Commander Did Aid
Wounded, So Survivors of
British Ship Say.
One Instance In which an enemy sub
marine commander, after sinking a
ltrltlsh vessel, amazed the survivors
by giving them bandages and liniment
for their wounds, stands out In sharp
contrast with the brutality or Indiffer
ence to suffering practiced by the (Jer
mnn sea pirates. Nevertheless, tho
survivors tell n story of extreme hard
ship endured In small boats for six
days and nights. Seventeen uro miss
ing of the ship's company of 90.
Five hundred miles from the Irish
I coast a large Ilrltlsh steamer, outward
bound in ballast, got a torpedo deuth
blow. No time was lost by the ship's
company In getting awuy from tho
sinking vessel.
Many of the crew had been wound
ed, especially among the engine room
force. With difficulty the Injured were
placed In the boats.
The submarine suddenly appenred
near by and the commander came on
deck. He noticed the wounded, und
culling the boats alongside his craft,
he went Inside, returning with band
ages und liniment, which he handed to
the surprised officers In charge of tho
boot. This uct of kindness saved sev
eral lives.
A steamer’s smoke was seen on the
| horizon and the U-boat made off rap
idly. The small boats shaped a courso
toward land, hut the wind was light
* and unfavorable.
Only a small store of biscuits was
carried. There was water enough for
a very limited ration and In the days
that followed the sun’s heat was al
most Intolerable. Wounded succumbed
one after another and were consigned
to the sea.
Torture reached Its limits. Previous
ly the officers had resorted to physical
force to prevent the Lascars from
drinking the salt water. Now noth
ing could restrain them und they
i eagerly drank the brine. Soon after
ward two died of their sufferings.
Hope had almost died when late
that evening a vessel sighted and
picked them up. They wop landed lit
Ireland.

Capital Stock Increase
WEALTHY MEN, many of whom have 11
never been in Alaska, have shown
their faith in this wonderful country
by doubling their investments in capital stock
in the BANK OF ALASKA. This means more
than purchasing 100 percent more stock. It
means that every stockholder taking new stock
is doubling his obligation to the depositors,
the same as the present stockholders.
Bank of Alaska
with the increase will have
$170,000 CAPITAL
which is much more than any bank in the
Territory of Alaska.
You should show your faith in the country by stick
ing to Alaska unless you are called to the colors. Start
now in your saving and not only be prepared for all gov
ernment calls but be ready for the great reconstruction
period that will follow victory
Your good judgment in sticking to the country will
be further shown by opening an account with the
Bank of Alaska
