FLAG DAY IN CORDOVA
Cordova’s demonstration in honor of
the drafted men from this section,
coming as it did on the day set apart
to do reverence to the nation’s flag,
was one the memory of which will
he carried as an inspiration to the bat
tlefields of France by those who en
tered Uncle Sam’s service yesterday.
It will serve to remind them, as the
speakers emphasized yesterday, that
we who stay at home are behind them
in word and deed, to the extent of our
ability.
No more inspiring sight could be
conceived thai^.thpj ofj a whole com
munity bidding godspepd to the men
who are to dp their part in uphold
ing the flag in the gr^at war of hu
manity, where*'’Arheriean arms and
American VaJop have bpcome the last
reliance o£„ the. Tree nations of the
world in their resistance to the ag
gressions of autocracy. It is true that
tears'were shed because of separation,
but in most instances there was pride
mixed with sorrow—pride that loved
ones were to do their share in the
greatest struggle that has ever con
fronted mankiiK^.^wltli^ consequences
so rr m entous that"future generations
will be proud to proclaim descent from
the heroes of tjMs gte&t. movement,
just as today the descendants of the
revolutionary heroes point with par
donable pride to the heroism of the
men who made-possible' a'government
"under which mankind can live and
labor and work out its own destiny.
It was fitting that Cordova should
thus show her appreciation of the sac
rifices our boys are making and are
expected to make, and it is part of
of our obligation to these soldiers
of the, republic that we keep them
in minebeer-^thewv «n the var
ious stages of their progress with
material and moral aid. The steps
through which they will pass to the
time when they may be deemed fit to
“carry on” in the face of the enemy
will be closely Watched, and no detail,
no matter how insignificant it may
appear at the time, will fail to be of
interest to the folks* at home.
Yesterday‘was a day to impress
upon CordovaiW', as nothing else could,
how close th^jffar is to us. It will
have served a good purpose if it has
succeeded in convincing every man,
woman and ''fibild that this is our war,
and that it will require sacrifices from
those who stay at home as well as
those who give,, up all to go to the
front. *3 f* v -r

Stand Stockily Behind Boys “Over
There” in Every Word and Action
B y ABBIE FAR WELL BROWN of the Volute*
i
What are you about, while they are over there fighting for us?
Enjoying yourself? Earning your living stodgily—“business as
usual?” Making capital as fast as possible out of the safety they are buy
ing with their blood ? Taking advantage of the crisis which they meet with
the offer of their young lives, to demand higher wages, shorter hours, luxu
ries, privileges which they have renounced in order to fight for you
That’s not patriotism ! That’s not even fair I
That’s hoggishness!
In these big days, when one has got to live big, I don’t know which is
the smallest no-account trash—you selfish woman, thinking only of amuse
ment ; you selfish capitalist, thinking only of a business chance; you selfish
laborer, thinking only of the opportunity to squeeze your employer. You
are all squeezing your country. You are all traitors to our boys out there!
You are all side-stepping your duty.
You are punk citizens!
If the workers who pioneered this country bad been like you—there
would never have been any foundation solid as Plymouth Rock to build on.
If the men and women of ’76 had been like you, it’s a weak Constitu
tion w'e’d have inherited; far gone in consumption!
If the Unionists of ’60 had been slack-kneed like you, where would lib
erty be now ? Knocked higher than a kite! We’d be all ready to kow-tow
to the Prussian helmets.
It won’t do! You’ve got to stand stockily behind the boys over there,
with every muscle, every enthusiasm, every thought you’ve got. You’ve got
to make sacrifices, and concessions, and give up comforts and prejudices
and present hopes. If you don’t, this great national idea of ours may
weaken; the army may be handicapped; the allies may be beaten; and we
ourselves may be enslaved. ■*■•***■ ;>
That is about the size of it. It’s not exaggeration, believe me?
Who cares? Then show it by your actions.
Be big and generous and patriotic, whether you are employer or em
ployed.
Be strong and helpful to the government, whether you are a man or a
woman.
Then, when the brave boys come back, you needn’t be ashamed to face
them, wounds and all.

VALUABLE EXPERIENCE
GAINED IN FOOTBALL FIELD
LONDON, June 15.—Baron Athum
ney has resigned the office of pro
vost marshal for the London sditrict,
which he has held almost continu
ously since the beginning of the war.
The provost-marshal is practically
chief of the military police of the dis
trict, and his jurisdiction includes all
matters relating to the conduct and
the deportment of army officers who
may be in London either on leave
or on station. The duties are some
what difficult, delicate and compli
cated and require infinite tact.
Lord Athumney made a success of
the job. His experience as full-back
of the Harrow football team taught
him early the art of managing young
men.

A Group of Prominent Bankers and Capitalists Conceived the Idea of
and Financed the
BANK OF ALASKA
With tne Aim that Its Growth Will Give
> the Name Full Significance
Practically all the territorial banks in Alaska had their origin In
a mercantile business, and were the outgrowth of a condition. The
BANK OF ALASKA was launched purely as a bank, and without the
support of other interests than the business that comes to It In the
regular channels.
The trend of American banking legislation Is toward branch bank
ing systems. The pioneer in this territory Is the BANK OF ALASKA,
which is the first and so far the only branch system.
Complying with the laws and regulations governing the institu
tion, from the combined paid-in capital there Is apportioned to each
branch sufficient capital to cover the legal requiremnt of an Inde
pendent bank. Each branch makes full individual report to the bank
ing board. Each must show how it is progressing individually.
In the final analysis the strength and Justification of the system is
apparent, for each branch has the full strength of the entire system
back of It.
The system is backed by very able men, and furnishes all the ad
vantages of a metropolitan bank, having the facilities of checking ac
counts, certificates of deposit, savings accounts, travelers’ checks and
j safe deposit boxes. Your account is solicited.
