CORDOVA, ALASKA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1917.
THE RED CROSS CALLS.
To every red-blooded man whose
heart goes out to suffering humanity
the world over, and whose conscience
would scourge him in the vary silences
of his own soul if he did not extend
fl helping hand to a fellow man in th§
hour 0/ distress.
To every tender hearted woman
whose sympathies are quickened when
sorrow comes to others; whose arms
are aching to take each mangled son
of battle to her bosom and nurse him
*
back to health and happiness; whose
compassion for the grief-stricken vic
tims of the war knows no boundaries,
and who will give freely of her means
that consolation may come to the sor
rowing hearts.
To every boy and girl whose soul
is saddened at the thought of the mis
ery that has come to countless child
ren in foreign lands, and who would
gladly sacrifice some pleasure so that
money may be* spared to feed and
clothe the homeless orphans and bring
happiness into their hearts again.
And to the great hearts of America
who always respond nobly when suf
fering clouds the earth ahd human
hearts are breaking under the strain.
OUR DUTY TO BUY A BOND.
It is our duty to answer our coun
try’s call and subscribe freely to the
financial end of its management. No
man in Cordova can be truthful who
says he cannot afford to loan the gov
ernment fifty dollars when he is given
nearly foflr months to pay that fifty
in. There can be no excuses so far as
money is concerned. Excuses, if any.
must be in the lack of patriotism or
pro-German sympathy. J
If Germany’s underhanded work,
which is being disclosed In every here
tofore neutral country, is not suffi
cient to awaken patriotism In Ameyi
buried. In that case It is useless to
talk of patriotism; and grim necessity
must be shown to exist before tl^e
government can obtain help from the
people.
Sometimes when reflecting on our
indifference we almost wish that our
enemy would drop a few shells.in our
midst to wake ue up. We should re
member that if we are free to carry
on our business these days it is due
to the strength of the nation as a
whole. If we want to maintain that
peace in our business, we must sup
port the government that secures it
tor us, and this is impossible unless we
help financially. It shall do us no
good to save our money if by doing
so we open the gate for the enemy to
enter and exact every penny from us;
not speaking of our liberty, which is
dearer to all human beings, except the
Germans, who appear to prefer a one
man power. Let us wake up to the
situation and help Uncle Sam to keep
the devil out of our country.
FIGHT DEVIL WITH OWN WEAPON
If the United States, France, Eng
land, Russia, Italy, Serbia, Roumanla,
Portugal, Japan, Belgium and all the
other allied countries who are fight
ing Germany really believe Germany
started the war and is the cause of all
the miseries this war has brought up
on them, why don’t they go after Ger
many in a far stronger way than the*
are doing at the present time? If
they are sincere enough to send mil
lions of their best men to be shot
down by Germany, if they actually be
lieve that German has committed all
the awful acts of barbarism, if they
know that Germany has outraged
every civilized law, why do they go at
her so peacefully? Why do they not
pay her back in her own coin? Why
do they not give her an eye for an eye,
and a tooth for a tooth?
When Germany sends an air raid
over London or Paris, why do the al
lies not send several air raids over
Germany as a receipt for her work?
When Germany murders a war pris
oner why do the allies not murder
two? For every barbarous act that
Germany does, pay her back double.
That would soon put an end to that
sort of b^slnegs^ It
business.
If the allies wish to make Germany
•after for her ruthless submarine
piracy, why do they not send some
barges loaded with tons of explosives
op the Kiel canal? Should they strike
a mine this Would set Off the explo
sives aboard the barges, and thts ex
plosion would set off every other mine
within a mile of it If they did not
strike a mine and the Germans fired
—■ , I
upon the barges, the effect would be
the same. Should the Germans not
fire upon the barges, the sfles' bat
tleships could do it with thelame re
sults. This would show Gerrmny that
she was to be repaid for her Jets.
Also, if it can be proven w>at Qer
many Js supplying the L W'Jw. with
funds Just to create riots in #ur coun
try, why not get a few of t» leaders
and make their executions %r> promi
nent that the J. W. w. w© realise
what they are up against v|>en they
Btart something in this counvy? The
same would hold good with tpls newly
discovered court plaster ?dot. Just
catch a few of them and hang them
publicly. This would show the plot
ters that wd were tired of fooling with
than any longer. Go after them with
the determination that we have stool
all of tbelr treachery we are going to
stand, and from now on they will be
made to pay dearly for each and every
one of their undeffcanded acts.
Then, again, if money Is not to be
placed over the lives of our young men
let the allies tell to Germany in a way
that she will understand, that for
every month she continues this need
less war that she will be made to suf
fer one whole year in return. For
every month that she continues the
allies will refuse to allow one of her
ships to enter their ports for one
whole year. That the allies will not
allow one of the Germair people to en
ter their domains, neither will they
allow any of their people to enter Ger
many. That the allies will not trade
with Germans, nor recognize them in
any manner, in fact, the allies will cut
them off from the civilized world one
year for every month that they carry
on this war. Ostracize them literally
from the world. Show them what their
punishment will be even long after
they get tired of fighting. When they
realize they are to be cut off from
civilization they will begin to do some
serious thinking.
If this war is not being fought with
the idea of future money after the war
is over, then give Germany to under
stand that the longer she fights
against the world's freedom the worse
it Is going to be for her. She will
then take a glance into the future and
start to take inventory. It will do
more toward ending the war than all
the trenches both sides can dig. It
is time she was given her ultimatum
and made to decide upon her future.—
