Governor J. F. A. Strong and Mrs.
Strong arrived home, and as the gov
ernor walked down the gangplank of
the Admiral Evans he was greeted
with loud handclapping by the large
number of friends and admirers,
among them Rome of the most promi
nent citizens of Juneau, that had gath
ered despite the rain to greet the ever
popular first citizen of the territory.
After a campaign of hearty hand
shakes he and Mrs. Strong held a sort
of reception in honor of Mr. Meyer,
assistant to Secretary I-ane. and the
other members of Jhe party.
Yesterday evening at the mansion
the first question asked the governor,
naturally, was in relation to political
matters, but the governor simply said
in answer that he did not care "to
discuss Alaska politics at the present
time," the same answer which he gave '
to the newspapers In Seattle.
He stated that war overshadows
everything In Washington at the pre
sent time, and in visiting cities lik *
St. Paul. Spokane. Portland and
others khaki clad men are to he seen
everywhere.
Within a few days, he says, he will
name exemption lioards for the terri
tory and will submit them to the pre
sident for his approval. He expects
to appoint a board of three members
in each district, but he does not yet
know how many boards will ho found
necessary.
From Information which he received
he believes that rfther national guard
cbmpanies, in addition to those at
Juneau and Fairbanks, will ire created
in the territory, in places whose pop
ulatlon is sufficient to make such
companies possible. While In Wash
ington the governor had several con
ferences with Provost General Crow
der and from these conferences came
the dicislon to give Alaska two months
for registration.
In coming across the continent ho
remarked that for the first time in
history passenger trains were side
tracked to make way for freights and
this was only one indication of the
tremendous preparations being made
for (lie great struggle into which the
•Wintry lias entered.
The government, the governor says
is preparing for a long war. It is
now piepdring on the basis of a three
years’ conflict, although hopeful that
It will end long before that time. The
policy seems to be ready for a longer
rather than a shorter one, whatever
the i ituro might bring forth. Every
dep 'rnent is absorbed In the work.

Strong found him to tie on able and

PORTLAND, Ore., July 31. — (Treat
as has been, and will bp, the work or
I'm I . I Cross, the women (>!' Ameri
ca can do a work Incalculably greater
toward tho winning of the war by con
servation of food through the elim'na- i
tlon of waste, according to Carl
Vrooman, assistant secretary of ag-: -*
ricultnre. The secretary addressed a j
large audience here, and said, in part; Uj;
“The war department has registered '&
nearly ten million men of fighting
age. During ihn next three months %
the department of agriculture and the &:
federal food administrator expect like '¥
w ise to register a women's army of
food consorvers, twenty million i-ij
strong.
"The French housewife always ns
pices to he a food artist, to put food
on tho table In sueh quantities as to
stimulate the appetite, while at the|:jj
■' time - iti fyim i: Quality • he,

standard. Until the American woman j
learns to take as much pride in house-j
hold efficiency and thrirt as in the j
past she l)as taken in profusion, tiro- j >:•
digiality and waste, little progress will I
be made In this direction. And even -i;:
After I ho housewives of the nation Si
have become Imbued with the highest ij-j
Ideals in this matter, the great task | i*
will then confront thorn, of educating :£
their cools and their men folk up to
the same standards. In time of peace
food waste was reprehensible, but in *:
time of war, food’ waste is not only £:
reprehensible, hut it is despicable and S:
disloyal. £:
"If our fawners do not produce sj

in Europe during the year that is to
