OUR ISLAND ALLIES
“The Backward Peoples” of the1
world are lining themselves up sol
idly against Germany, said Judge
Charles Burke Elliot, of Minn
eapolis, in a naddress recently de
livered before the “Win the War
for Permanent Peace” convention,
under the uspices of the League to
Enforce Peace. The spaker, who is
a former member of the supreme
bench of the Philippine Islands and
of the Philippine Commission, dis
cussed Germany’s colonial' methods
from his long experience in the Far
East.
“Many thousands of the dark hued
people fro mthe borders and hinter
land of civilization,” he said, “are
fighting and dying under the Allied
flags.
“In the light of Germany’s de
clared designs for the conquest of
the world, and the history of two
decades of German colonization, is
it not clear why, thousands of blacks
fro mthe edges of the Sahara joined
the British in annihilating German
power in Togo and the Kameroons,
why India has stood loyally by the
British Raj, and why the Philipinns
have willingly taxed themselves to
pay for a submarine and a destroyer
for our navy, and are sending 25,000
volunteers for our ramy? An in
stict deep and true teaches these
people that the triumph of the Cen
tral Powers means their return to
the degradation and the darkness
from which they were slowly, but
surley, emerging, under the guidance
of the great liberal democatic colon
izing nations.
“Germany alone has openly ad
hered to the medieval, mercantile
1 theory that colonies existed solely
for the benefit of the home state.
For cold blooded and scientific dia
' holism, the conceptions of which
rests the German system of colon
■ ization it without parallel in human
| history.
“The German has never been able
to deal successfully with native
people because he recognizes onlj;
force and frightfulness. He made
himself hated and feared, and the
atrocities committed behind the veil
which enshrouds the dark continent
but foreshadowed those which have
made the German name anathema
throughout the world.”

STAR SHELLS
From “The Start and Stripei”
(By Sergeant Stuart Carrol, Q. M. D.)
“You’re not a fan, Pierette.”
I’ll take you to the Follies, dear,
If there you think you’d like to go.
I’ll buy you beaucoup wine and beer
Down at the gay Casino Show;
In short, I'll do whatever task
Your little heart desires to name,
Save one. You must not ever ask
To sep another baseball game.
Your understanding is immense,
At “Compreying” the jokes they spring
In vaudeville shows—and you’re not dense,
Because you like to hear me sing.
But, Cherie, you will never be
The one to set my heart aflame,
Because you simply cannot see
The inside of a baseball game.
When you and I were watching while
The Doughboys battled the Marines,
Did classy hitting make you smile?
Did you rejoice in home run scenes?
Ah, no; when Meyer slammed the pill
They couldn’t find it for a week—
You turned to me and said “Oh, Bill,
I zink hees uniform ees “chique.”
And did you holler, “Atta boy”
When Powell zipped ’em, one, two .three,
And made the Doughboys dance with joy—
Was yours the voice that rose in glee?
Not so, you made your escort feel
Like one big, foolish, roasted goose,
When all the bleachers heard you squeal,
“But, Bill, his nose is so “retrousse.”
So when you don your new chapeau
Hereafter for a promenade,
Remember that no more we’ll go
To sit beneath the grandstand shade;
Your curtain calls are surely great,
Where Thespians trod the boards of fame;
But you cannot appreciate »
A rousing Yankee baseball game.

AGED LADY MAKES
KNITTING RECORD
I
—
Mr* Anastina Rothenberg Doe» 1
Record Breaking Knitting For
Boys At Front.
Several towns, cities and hamlets
have laid claim to the distinction 1
of being able to count among their | (
respective inhabitants, some one, j i
who by dint of hard work and actual
achievement, can be termed the
champion knitter.
Comparisons, it is frequently re
marked, are odious; and the Nenana
News therefore wishes to make men
tion of the fact that there is at
the present time, in Nenana, an aged
lady who has done wonderfully well
in the way of knitting for the boys
at the front.
Mrs. Anastina Rothenburg is
eighty years old, and up to date,
has knitted no less than twelve pairs
of socks for the boys in the trenches.
She turned in the product of her
industry to the local Red Cross and
' has registered an application for a
further supply of yarn which will
enable her to knit an additional six
dozen pairs of socks.
The News is of the opinion that
Nenana or any town anywhere may
well be proud to count such as Mrs.
Rothenburg among its dwellers.

"WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

GOVERNMENT
Salvage from
the battlefields
vwmnmnnrmnnnnnnm
The Allied armies find it very profitable
to salvage scrap from the battlefields. Great
Britain is saving millions every year from
this thrifty parctice.
If we could extend this practice to the
United States—if we saved only the waste
and needless spending of every day and put
the saving into War Savings Stamps, it
would help to win the war.
Your every saving helps the Government.
Put the small savings - into U. S. Thrift
Stamps at 25 cents each; when you have
16 of them, exchange them with a few extra
pennies for a $5 War Savings Stamp.
THEY EARN MONEY
THEY SAVE LIFE AT THE
