WILL ORGANIZE
WOMEN FOR
BOND SALES
Alaska’s quota tor the fifth United
States bond issue in April, to be
known as the “Victory Loan,” will be
$1,369,400. Governor Riggs is chair
man of the men’s committee in Alaska
and has appointed the Council of De
fense in each district as the organz
tion which is to conduct the drive,
with the co-operation of the local
banks to make it a success.
Mrs. T. J. Donohoe is territorial
chairman of the National Women's
Liberty Loan committee and she has
named a local chairman in each of the
four judicial divisions, who will co
ordinate their work with that of the
men and assist in every way possible
to help Alaska sell its quota of the
new issue of bonds. It is also her in
tention to organize the women of Cor
dova in order that they may carry on
an aggressive campaign here next
month.
As a stimulus for the sale of bonds
Mrs. Donohoe was advised by wire last
night that the treasury department
has made two million medals from
captured German cannon which will
be awarded to all volunteer workers
during the Victory Loan. The medal
is the size of * half-dollar and con
tains a reproduction of the treasury
on one side and a certificate of loan
participation on the other. Space is
left for engraving the name of the
recipient.
The Woman’s comittee in Alaska
has done effective work in the past
and proposes during the coming loan
r ====
to renew its efforts and make a show
ingf which will be creditable alike ti
them and the territory.
ANOTHER SHIPMENT OF
GARMENTS ON ALAMEDA
The comforts forward committee c
the local Christian Science church wi]
make its fourth shipment of new gai
ments on the steamer Alameda fo
the relief of the sufferers in Europ<
This institution of Christian benef
cence is doing a humanitarian wor
abroad, especially in country places
where suffering and poverty are grea
indeed.
The philanthropy of Christian Sc
ence differs from the many particula
creeds inasmuch as it does the goo*
for the good itself, above and outsld
every purpose of political and relif
ious propaganda and without public
ity, thus interpreting the pure teach
ing of the gospel, which desires chai
ity to be modest and secret. It wa
tlie first American institution, sooi
after the breaking out of the war, ti
begin at once its work of good in al
countries suffering from the war.

having been recommended for the
Croix de Guerre cross for his bravery
and gallantry. James Bennet was
i also killed in action at Samur. He,
s too, had participated in many battles.
, William Jones was unfortunate
> enough to meet death on a troop train
