Frank Siavin Goes to War.

 A reminiscent twist is given by the heralding of the enlistment of Frank Slavin, the old heavyweight. with a Western Canadian regiment. Slavin enlisted at Victoria and will be one of the Western Scottish
 Slavin was in the Yukon country for a long time and only recently returned to Victoria to make his home in that city. The war fever caught him and he's off to the front. Slavin, they say, is hale and hearty with only a few gray hairs to tip his age.
 Slavin is now about 53 years of age. He started fighting in 87, and soon came into prominence in the Antipodes. He climbed until 1899, when he went to England and was matched with Jem Smith for the championship of England The battle was fought at Bruges, Belgium, with bare knuckles, under London ring rules. Slavin beat Smith but a mob broke up the fight and Slavin was roughly handled by Smith adherents.
 The aftermath of this brawl led to the expulsion of Square Abingdon Baird from the Pelican club and Slavin was ultimately awarded the $2,50O purse and the championship He next knocked out Joe McAuliffe in two rounds in London Then, to make it good, he whipped Char ley Mitchell in barroom brawl He reached America in 1891. He beat Jake Kilrain at Hoboken in nine rounds. He went back to London in 1892 and on May 30 of that year fought Peter Jackson and was knocked cold by the big negro. In '93 he was knocked out by Jim Hall in London in seven rounds. He came back to America in 1896 and drifted to the west and then to the Klondike. His last ring fight was in 1907, when he lost to Nick Bur ley in two rounds, at Victoria, B. c.

OLD-T|MER TELLS OF EXPERIENCE
 AT FRONT

Ernest Davies, an old-timer in the Yukon, who joined the stampede to Chisana two years ago, later went to Prince Rupert, and here joined the ] contingent for the front, sends the fol- lowing interesting letter from Lon don:
 "I was one of 800 picked out to go to France to reinforce the Princess Patricia regiment, now on the firing line. We got orders to put into Liverpool. Three submarines were after us. They sank three ships the night we got in, but we travelled with all our lights out and got through. When we got to Salisbury they had sent draft in our place, so they sent us to the Canadian Scottish. I re- ceived twentyfour hours leave, as I wa" 'O 5O ouC "ith lie t1lBhldHGefS to France. Two hours before we left an order came from the war office 70 send us back to the Pats. When we got to Tidworth we were ordered back to the Sixteenth, but the regiment had left, so we will go out as reinforce ments, as they need us. By the time you get this letter I shall have joined the big stampede to Berlin, and. be- lieve me, when the sledding gets good in the spring we will surely get there. It is wonderful to see the army Kitch- ener has gotten together. When 1t gets to France it will be the best ar my that ever went to battle,
 You would not know there was war at all here excepting that nearly everyone is a soldier. My dad has joined He is on home defense. When he heard I was going straight to France he went to headquarters and volunteered for active service, but they would not take him as he is too old. My brother is coming to see me Saturday. He is leaving for the front soon. There are eleven men in our family altogether, and ten of us are serving. Nearly all are married too. That's not bad, eh? It is quite a change soldering after being so long in the North. We can look up and see flying machines flying a. bout all day here-sometimes a dog en at a time"

CENSORS' DUTIES INVOLVE MUCH
 LABOR

VIENNA, April 15-Forty thousand letters, in more than forty languages and dialects, to be read daily; secret messages written in cipher with in. visible inks to be discovered and pug. zled out; all manners of questions from distracted parents about the whereabouts of their sons to be an. swered; thousands of complaints from Austrians regarding their treatment in foreign detention camps and pris. ons to be investigated.
 These are some of the duties of the censors-between 200 and 300 of them who form the personnel of the cen. sorship bureau of the Austrian em- pire, which is located in the war min istry, and which has been dubbed "The Organized Babel" Both in- coming and outgoing letters have to be scrutinized carefully, and the vari- ety of dialects in the empire. in ad- dition to the large number of tongues spoken by the Austrian prisoners, make it necessary to keep the larges bureau in Europe.
 The staff includes more than 200 voluntary workers, who are divided into groups according to their famil iarity with Russian, Czech, German, Slavic, Serbian, Croatian, Italian, Ru- manina, Ruthenian, Polish French and English languages and dialects. The Russian censors are divided in turn into groups who know the Esthenian, Finnish, Lettish, Armenian, Persian, Turkish, Tartar and Hebrew tongues. The Russian prisoners even receive letters in Bessarabic and Sanskrit.
 At the head of each group is a responsible official, before whom must be laid each suspicious letter, and each letter containing useful information. He, in turn, makes monthly reports to the chief censor, and the latter re- ports to the minister of war.
 More or less innocent attempts to deceive the censor, especially in noti- flying friends and relatives of their exact location and condition, are made repeatedly, particularly by the Russians. Ninety per cent of such efforts originate among Russian pris- oners, who appear from earlier exper- fences in their own country to be familiar with ways and means of sending out secrets. and who think that even innocent information must be sent this way.

HOW THE STORY LOOKS IN PRINT
 OUTSIDE

You never know from where you sit just how your picture is going to look after the photographer finishes with you, but those outside pen DOT trait-makers can take an Alaskan and retouch him until the folks at home wouldn't know him if they met him on the street Also, at times, the Alaskan is inclined to take a shade the best of it when he gets out where the grazing is good and the sympa- thy bottle is open to all pilgrims and strangers, and sometimes he forgets or watts not that the least of them can not get their names into the smallest weekly paper on the outside but that a press clipping bureau will cut that story out and mail 1t to the paper back home-that's what happened to Peter Steil, of Fairbanks.
 Peter decided to go Outside, and as it is, in more ways than one, easier to walk to Chitina than 1t is to dig up the fare and sit in a stage over the trail, he walked to Chitlna. Arriv- ing at Los Angeles with a gunnysack full of hardrock, he conceived the idea that a little free advertising wouldn't hurt any quartz promoting he might desire to do in the future, so he had himself interviewed by the Los An geles Express, and this is the way the story reads. We wouldn't add a line to it for fear of spelling it:
 Out of Alaska
 Peter Steil, aged 65. who has spent a number of years in Alaska, has re- turned to his home, having "mushed out" of the far northern country. "Mushed out" of the Alaska interior means that Mir Steil walked the entir. distance of 312 miles from the Fair banks quartz belt to Chitina, which is on the seaboard. The feat is re- garded as remarkable, especially when it is considered that it was performed by man 65 years of age. His long tramp required 14 days, of which three and one-half days were spent in crossing the mountains, showing that he averaged more than 22 miles a day. He visited many of the i'm portant towns on his way home He brought with him many samples of gold and silver bearing minerals, which it is his intention to present at the mineral collection museum at Expo sition Park, Los Angeles. One of the richest minerals he has assays at $S,000 a ton. He reports that 13 mills are operating in the Fairbanks quartz belt now and that the outlook is quite encouraging for the companies interested there.

that the lack of skilled workmen in
