GOOD RIDDANCE
The other day a man left the com
munity that we feel certain the ma
jority of the people of Fairbanks were
glad to see take his departure. We
refer to tin* self-asserted citizen of
Norway who repudiated his declara
tion for citizenship in this country in
order to get out of military service.
There may l>e extenuating circum
stances. hut it seems impossible that
there could he any that would warrant
such an action.
'This person, after declaring his in
tcntion of becoming a citizen of the
United State . now is willing to for
feit an> and all claims he may ever
have to that citizenship rather than
he drafted into service in defense of
the country whose benefits lie has en
joyed for ome time. He received his
first papers, hut considers this country
only good enough to live in. not good
enough to tight for It is well that he
felt moved to come out and take this
stand, for if ever there was any class
of men that would make undesirable
citizens, he is one of them. He lias
left tin country, and we are glad of
it We onI\ hope that his record
goes with him and that wherever he
may take up his abode, if it be in
this country, his measure of patriot
ism and regard for duty will he
known.
It may lie possible to ship him hack
to the country from which he came,
and behind whose skirts he is hiding
now. if she will have him Well and
good. There is no room in this land
of the free for anyone who is such a
slave to consideration for his own
personal safety. We say good rid
dance, and wi feel that tin* sentiment
of tin* community is voiced by that
term Fairbanks (Mti/.en

For Film Fans
"The Battle of Picardy." the lirst
Important action in which our Amer
ican troops were engaged in France,
is covered in detail in the next three
numbers of the Hearst Pathe Nows.
The first Installment, which Is of un
usual Interest, forms a large part of
the Hearst Pathe News that will be
shown Sunday night at the Empress.
Another announcement that will be
eagerly greeted by local film enthus
iasts is the appearance of Theda Bara
in the Fox super-picture, "Darling of
Paris." We have been so accustomed
to associating the vampire type with
Miss Bara that this presentation of
■a Gypsy dancer who takes the heart
of Paris by storm In tho days of
chivalry and romance, will come as
an Innovation and surprise At the
same time, it's safe to say that never
has Miss Barn appeared in a more
alluring and appealing role than that
of the dancing girl. Watch for this
big attraction.
All the famous movie stars have
been busy recently completing short
featurettes, to be used In connection
with the coming Fourth Liberty Loan
Drive. The Empress management is
: leaving no stone unturned to secure
i a number of these for use over the
| Empress circuit during the three
weeks of the drive, which begins Sep

Capital Stock Increase
WEALTHY MEN, many of whom have
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.
f 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
