OPPORTUNITY FOR WOMEN.
With tho affixing of the signature
of President Wilson to the Man Power
bill, all men between the ages of IS
and 4r» have been drafted into the
service of our country
That means that more than ever
before the business of the land will
fall upon tlic shoulders of the women.
Where their fields have been limited
heretofore and the calls upon them
have been comparatively few. the ne
cessities for women to take up the
burdens which their men have borne
■will be increased a hundred fold and
the rails for service will be trans
muted into commands.
Dike their sisters overseas, the
women of America must step into the
ranks, to lill the gaps left by their
husbands and brothers. Preparation
for this mighty change has been made
in greater or less degree throughout
the entire country With the various
puisui' open to them, women have
been grcduclly acquiring the know
beige which is to stand them in vital
stead under the new order of things.
Not the least revolutionary of the
changes has been tho granting to
women of executive powers in war
financing.
Where a few years ago women bond
sellers were a negligible, quantity,
their number has grown during the
past twelve months to more than half
a million, and where in days before
tile v. a" women who bought bonds
were tew and far between, today
women number more than one-third of
the railed States Isold buyers.
interest and taxes which a short
lime ago were little known or trouble
some problem . have become subjects
with which .Vi lerican women are now
on friend'iest .peal ing terms.
The various Liberty Loans have
made "interest" a common posses
sion. an offset to taxes which are the
inevitable accompaniment of war.
The Fourth Liberty Loan, to he
opened for subscription September
2St!i, will afford the women of Amer
ica another opportunity to become
possessors of the Government secur
ities for their future well-being and
happiness.
CZECHOSLOVAK
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 17—A cor
respondent of the Associated Press at
Vladivostok sends the following mail
account of th»#f1ghting at Vladivostok
on June 29, when the Czechoslovaks
took over the command of the city.
Three thousand Bolsheviki Red
Guards had intrenched themselves in
the fortress at Vladivostok and de
fended themselves with furious fight
ing. They were aided by fifty Mag
yars and German prisoners of war.
The Czecho slovaks had surrounded
the fortress and placed machine guns
on the roof of the British consulate
and on the roof of the railway station
near by. They called upon the Bol
sheviki In the fortress to surrender,
but the Red Guards shot down their
messengers. Immediately the machine
guns opened fire, and for two hours a
stream of bullets rained on the fort
ress So fast and furious *a» the
firing that the men in the fortress
were unable to return the fire from
Its windows. Suddenly there was a
tremendous explosion. A Czech had
crawled near the fortress under the
barrage and thrown a mine into the
building. A white flag appeared at
one of the windows, a party of Czechs
rushed to the main entrance of the
fortress, burst open by a hand gre
nade The Bolsheviki threw down
their arms and surrendered.
In this conflict the Czechoslovaks
lost four men, with fifteen wounded,
while of their opponents 141* had been
killed and wounded. Thus. In the
course of a few hours the all-powerful
Soviet had boon overthrown and its
delegates arrested, its military staff
i verpowered by force of arms, and its
army of Red Guards had either sur
rendered or thrown away their arms
and disappeared without lighting
When the local llolsheviki had do
decided to disarm them on June Xn. the
Czechoslovaks forced all this action
b\ presenting an ultimatum to the So
viet demanding the disarmament of
the Red Guard on the ground that it
a.-as necessary to safeguard the trans
port of the Czecho-Slovak forces from
Russia.
When the Soviets refused to comply
■with the ultimatum orders were given
to arrest these delegates and all of
the prominent Bolsheviki. War flags
were hoisted on foreign warships in
the harbor. Four Soviet torpedo
1 boats attempted to put to sea hut
‘v.ere stopped and surrendered to of
feers of the Japanese cruiser Asahi
and the British cruiser Suffolk
The British and Japanese cruisers
landed additional forces and aided the
Czechoslovaks in occupying all im
portant points, including the powder
magazine. Strong forces of Japanese
with machine guns. British marines
and Czecho slovaks lined the streets.
All traffic was stopped. The streets
were thronged with people and all
business was suspended. Materials
were landed from a Chinese cruiser
to protect the Chinese consulate and
residents. Arrests of the Bolsheviki
were rapidly made and each was
greeted with the cheers of the people.
Then came the fighting at the fort
ress. Now the Czecho slovaks are the
military masters of the town. The
British, American, French, Japanese
and Chinese consulates are guarded
by their own national forces, respect
ively, except that the French con
sulato Is guarded by the Japanese. A
small party of American marines
landed from the Brookly on the even
ing of July 29.

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 11
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
