A DEBT TO HEROES
The Fifth Liberty Loan, to be float
ed next month, will be known as the
Victory Loan, and in Cordova the
drive will be conducted under the
auspices of the Council of Defense and
the Wioman’s loan committee, shortly
to be organized by Mrs. T. J. Donohoe,
territorial chairman.
■ Victory is not merely a matter of
jubilation, accepting surrender of a
beaten foe and dropping the gun to
take up the plow share in the furrow
where it stood when the call to arms
came.
The Victory Loan is one of the
many great obligations that come to
the Victors. President Woodrow Wil
son and the members of the American
peace delegation are now in France
looking after the world obligations.
Our part now is to prepare to pay in
small measure the debt we owe our
khaki and blue-clad champions.
A large part of the money to be
raised in the Victory Loan campaign
next month will be used for the re
habilitation of our wounded men. The
government will do Its utmost to re
store every wounded American sol
dier and sailor to health and self-sup
porting activity.
When the wounded man has been
given complete medical and surgical
treatment he will be considered by
the federal board for vocational educa
tion. If his disability prevents return
to work he left at the call of the gov
ernment. a wide choice of occupation
is open to him.
If the injured man needs an arti
ficial limb or appliance of any sort the
government will provide it. Until
his special treatment or training ends
he will receive regular compensation
and the family will receive the allot
ments. The war risk insurance will
be paid until the end of the vocational
training if the course is elected with
out necessity, but in this case the
allotments wil not be paid to the
family.
Instead of finding dependent crip
ples and beggars made so by an un
appreciative country, they will be
highly trained heroes whose sacrifices
will not be tarnished by lack of grati
' tude.
If you are worth victory prepare
now to buy Victory Bonds.

There may be largsr and more pros- 1
perous towns in Alaska than Cordova, ;
but—well, we are from Missouri.
-♦
Judging from the Valdez colony
now here, our neighbors are perfectly 1
willing to pin their faith to Cordova. 1
-«
Every incoming boat from the
States now brings a banner list of pas- 1
sengers for Cordova, and today's ar- 1
rivals were no exception.
-*
If all of the proposed new buildings 1
for Cordova are erected this summer •
there will be considerable activity
among the wieldere of the hammer
and the saw. i
-*
The fishing industries will soon be
in full operation and, judging from the
extensive improvements being made to
the different canneries, a big pack of
salmon and clams is expected this sea
son.

Even if congress did adjourn with
out appropriating an additional $200
,000 for Cordova’s new federal build
ing, work should at once be started on
it with the $100,000 which Is now avil
able.

The new Empress Theater and
apartment house will be ready for oc
cupancy about June 1. It will be a
concrete structure and erected at a
coat of more than $100,000. Quite a
substantial Improvement
VOICE OF THE ALA8KA PRE8S
We take our hats oft to the rising
generation on Douglas Island. A
livelier bunch of young follows we
have never seen before. Boys who
are still in their teens can accomp
lish stunts in many and various lines
of endeavor that would surprise many
men of mature years. In the words
of the poet, “The world do move.”—
Douglas News.
Between Le Gaults’ and Sullivan’s
(roadhouses on the trail), from a high
plateau across the Susitna valley, a
splendid view is observed of Mts. Mc
Kinley, Foraker and Roosevelt, and
the range for a distance of fully fifty
miles on each side of McKinley. In
the early sunrise the beauty of this
panorama is not to be equaled by any
landscape on the continent. These
snow-capped mountains, purple in the
shadows at their base, rise through
gradations of color from the deep pur
ple through violets, grays and pir.k to
the glowing incandescent masses of
their peaks lit by the early morning
sun.—Anchorage Times.
The failure of passage of the sundry
civil bill, carrying an appropriation to
continue railroad construction in Alas
ka during the fiscal year beginning
July 1st, will not compel an immedi
ate suspension of activities in this di
vision, but it is probable that a certail
mcnt of construction work will be
come necessary before additional
funds can be obtained from congress,
which must be called together in extra
session before the end of the present
fiscal year to act on pressing financial
needs of the nation. There is some
money still on hand, but to what ex
tent this can be applied to active con
struction will not become known prob
ably, until the return to town of En
gineer in Charge F. D. Browne, who is
now in the Kantishna country. It is
safe to assume, however, that Mr.
Browne will use the money to the best
advantage, with a view to keeping as
many men on the payrolls as possible.

The pupils of our public schools are
entitled to much praise for the very
excellent department they conduct in
the Daily Times every Saturday. The
training they thus receive is of incal
culable benefit to them and will stand
many of them in good stead in the
future.
-♦-—
The published reports that James
Wickersham intends to contest the
last delegate election is no surprise to
Alaskans, notwithstanding the fact
that he told the members of congress
that he would not. This is only an
other one of Wick’s acrobatic stunts
which he insists upon pulling off peri
odically.

Generally speaking, the school
teachers of Alaska are entitled to
more pay. In Cordova we have a
most efficient staff of instructors and
they are certainly entitled to salaries
commensurate with the services they
render, which is a matter the new
school board should give serious con
sideration.

There is no better asset for a
town than a creditable social club
room, where strangers in our midst ,
3an be properly entertained. When
the Northland Club moves to its new
quarters in the Ostrander building
Cordova will be able to boast one of
the finest institutions of its kind in
the territory.
