SOLDIERS UNIFORMS
 NOW MORE PRACTICAL

(By Associated Press Correspondence.
 LONDON, Merch 1O-War has struck a blow at both military smart ness and military picturesqueness. These two features, which distin- guished European wars of the past, are now yielding to the practical. The British Tommy in the trenches, wear ing a goatskin coat. rubber boots and knitted cap pulled down over his head, looks more like a Robinson Crusoe than a soldier. French Zou- ayes still wear baggy trousers. moor ish jackets and fez, but the cloth is colored greenish yellow, like the British khaki. Belgians have chang ed their regulation foolish little cap for a good, warm cap which looks as If made for chauffeur.
 Among the changes undergone in the British field uniform is a Sam Brown belt made of webbing instead of the more conspicuous leather. The belt, designed a couple of gener- lations ago by a British officer in In dia,s supports sword. pistol and can teen, and Is suspended by a strap crossing the shoulder. It has lately become the rage among British off cers. In view of the short range in trench fighting, the British officer has been forced to do away with the mi nor elegances of a khaki flannel col. lar and khaki colored necktie. His full-skirted overcoat early gave place to short coat of the model of the seaman's pea jacket, which is found warmer than the old model besides being free from the annoyance of skirts. The men of the ranks have of their own accord cut off their over coat tails because of their dragging in the mud.
 France Is re-uniforming its troops In the new tricolored cloth, a combi nation of the three colors Of the ma tional flag, and of a bluish color. | is used for the characteristic grea coats of the men and for officers jackets.

CT and nearer and long columns or infantry were hurrying before them through the fields to the right and to the left. We heard the rumbling of wheels behind us. It was a battery of French artillery. As they passed an officer glanced at my charge, salut- ed, shook his head sadly and galloped on. The battery turned into the first cross road and began business. To my poor chasseurs 1t was a welcome noise. One of them raised himself on his elbow and said to his com. rades: One good turn deserves an- other; the Germans are getting some of their own change back The poor fellow was dead when we reached the hospital. In spite of the holes the little 3-inchers made in the German ranks, they were powerless to stem the German tide, and the six surviv- ing chasseurs had no sooner received first aid than the Uhlans galloped up"

YOUNG DIRECTOR
 TRANSPORT SYSTEM

tBy Associated Press Correspondence,
 LONDON, March 1O-Graeme Thom. son, of whom Winston Churchill TO ferred to in Parliament as "one of the discoveries of the war" is the first civilian to ever hold the position of director of the admiralty transport department. Thomson, who is 3y years old, is now described as the greatest transport officer since Noah"
 When the war broke out Thomson was a experimenting clerk at a sal. ary of about s3,5OO a year. He had served in the department, after com. pleting his education at Oxford, for twelve years. His ability, which showed itself in emergency days, at. tracted the attention of the first Lord. In short space of time he was made assistant director of transports, and at the end of three months was put in charge of the department at a large salary.

MINING ACTIVE
 LIN RENAL RIVER

Dan Rice has recently received word from the department of the interior that Renal river Is a navigable stream and this decision means that all peo- pie can now go and work the ground within sixty feet of high water as they can work the sea beach says the Seward Gateway. Kelly Olson, who arrived last night says that several men are expecting to take advantage of the ruling and start mining work along the stream this spring, The ground is good in several places, and at low water the work Is made es- pecially easy. During the winter ne and his partner rocked out one hun, dred and fifty dollars without any diff ficulty. The climate is such that work can be carried on in winter az we'll as in summer with the possible exception of a few unusually cold days. Frank E. Youngs says the ground has the pay on the surface. On the bar which he owns this pay runs about two dollars to the yard. MT. Olson will go back in a few days for the summers work.

PREACHE RMAKES LONG TRIP
 BY TRAIL

Rev. E. H. Maloney, who accompan. jed Bishop Rowe to Panama Crossing, has returned home after an absence of six weeks, during which time he mushed several hundred miles, says the Valdez Prospector.
 At the time Bishop Rowe was in Valdez he was in very poor health, and the Women's Guild of the Church of the Epiphany, not wishing him to make the long trip alone, arranged to defray the expenses of Rev. Ma loney to accompany the Bishop as far as Panama Crossing. where Bishop Rowe expected to be met by a guide from Fairbanks.
 Rev. Maloney states that during the first three days he was somewhat anxious about Bishop Rowe. fearing that he would not be able to stand the trip. After the first three days he began to figure how he was going to keep up with the party. Bishop Rowe appeared to grow stronger and more vigorous every day Of the trip and was in fine condition when they reached Panama Crossing. At Men tasta Bishop Rowe renewed acquain- tance with old Chief John, and as the latter is nearing the end of his earthly career, the bishop, assisted by Rev. Maloney baptized, confirmed and gave holy communion to the chief in the presence of the members of the tribe.
 Leaving Bishop Rowe at Panama Crossing Rev. Maloney, accompanied by driver Jenkins. of Gokona, turned southward and reached Chisana via the Tetlin and Nabesna trail, a dis tance of 225 miles, in eight and one half days. He states that he found the miners at Chisana very hopeful that their camp would make good and were busy prospecting Being the first missionary to reach the camp he was given a rousing reception every where. Seventy persons. including Marshal Hoffman and Judge Finnigan, attended the services in Chisana. He also held services at Bonanza, where thirty persons attended.
 At Nabesna Rev Maloney baptized two native children, whose parents proudly boasted that they had been baptized by Bishop Bompas, at Forty. mile, on the Yukon, many years ago.
 From Chisana, over the glacier to Mccarthy Rev. Maloney was accom- panied by "Broncho Bill' Spencer. While crossing over the divide they were caught in a blizzard and spent several hours hunting for stakes which line the trail to keep travellers from becoming lost. He declares that while the trip over the glacier is' somewhat dangerous the view Is mag niflcent and is unequalled by but few places in Alaska, the land of scenic wonders.
