VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
We object to any fellow hanging
over our desk and explaining what the
country needs when he himself needs
a bath and a disinfectant for the
breath—Ketchikan Miner.
We would just like to know what
all the Republicans are saying to each
other. They are standing around in
little groups, argifying to beat the
band.—Juneau Gleam.
The Knights of Columbus have in
vaded Alaska and are establishing
huts and moving picture shows at the
different posts in the territory. This
is a grand thing for the boys who are
penned in the posts for days at a time
with nothing to do and every oppor
tunity to grow stale from lack of
ercise and too much monotony. The
boys at Fort Liscum are a fine bunch
of young men, and nothing should be
left undone that will break the dread
ful monotony of an Alaskan winter.—
Valdez Miner.
Judge Wickersham’s petition in the
contest case, like his attack on Secre
tary Lane, carries its own refutation.
His attempt to prove Governor Riggs,
Surveyor General Davidson, former
Acting Collector of Customs Garfield,

Bunnell, .Judge Holzheimer, District

r BUCHAREST, June 5 (Correspond
1 ence of Associated Press).—One mil
, lion meals were served to Rumania’s
poor by the American Red Cross dur
ing the month of April. This doubt
less saved hundreds of destitute per
sons who might otherwise have suc
cumbed to starvation. The depart
ment of civilian relief of the Rumanian
mission of the American Red Cross,
which is under the direction of Major
George Twose of Chicago and Miss
Florence M. Patterson of Burlington,
Wis., now has relief stations and can
teens at Constanza, Galatz, Braila,
Focsani, Jassy, Buzeu, Iflov, Budesti,
Patloge, Pitesti, Campalone, Rani,
Serat and Bucharest.
At Focsani alone more than 60,000
meals are given out weekly to the des
titute population. All these cities are
centers for a large number of vil
lages. From one of these centers the
Americans often may serve with re
lief supplies from 100 to 300 villages.
In addition to feeding those who are
not able to provide for themselves the
big American reief organization is sup
plying the local hospitals and chari
table institutions with medicines,
clothing and whatever miscellaneous
material it has.
With the arrival at Galatz this week
of thousands of additional tons of
food, Colonel H. Gideon Wells of Chi
cago, chief of the Rumanian mission,
plans to extend the activities of his or
ganization so that every deserving Ru
manian shall receive help.

Lake Elizabeth, the big relief ship 1
chartered especially by the American
Red Cross to bring supplies to Ru
mania, has arrived with great quanti- (
ties of food, oil, soap, hospital supplies,
clothing, sheets, thread, needles and
sewing machines.
The American Red Cross is endeav- \
oring to meet the great need among
the poor for clothing. It already has
given out such a great number of gar
ments that its stocks have been
greatly depleted. But Colonel Henry
W. Anderson, chief commissioner of
the American Red Cross for the Bal
kan states, who came to Rumania on
the Lake Elizabeth, said he expected
soon to receive several thousand ad
ditional tons of clothing from America.
