Anniversary Celebration

Gastiueau Lodge No. l24, F. < A. M., of Douglas, celebrated its Thirteenth Anniversary last Thursday evening at LOO.F. hall. A large gathering of Ma sons and their families from the chan nel towns filled the hall to Oyerhowiug.
 A pretty musical program of an hour consisting of a piano solo by Mrs. Wm. Linscott, a vocal solo by Miss Eliza beth Hopper, a reading by Mrs. Rich ardsou, a violin solo by Miss Wood, a vocal solo by Mrs. LeNoir, and a piano solo by John Hopper, was followed by inspiring talks on Masonry by Broth CTS c. R. Cheney aud R. A. Gunuison, after which about 100 or more of the mem bers adjourned to the hall of the Douglas island Labor Union, where refreshments were served. At o'clock a.m. the waiting ferry took the visiting Juneau and Thane members to their homes.
 As the Chairman, Past Master James Christoe read the names of the absent charter and other members, those of John Duckwortb, Dr. Garner, Robert J. Willis, Judge A. K. Delaney, Joseph Mcdonald, Judge c. M. Irwin, Henry Watson, and Thos. Welcb, it recalled to memory the social aud civic life of our town a dozen years ago, and the familiar faces of those men who were active workers in it's formative period.
 This lodge ranks third, in age, in Al aska, aud it's mem bership has increased from IA in 1902 to 6S in 1915, and it is in a most prosperous condition.

Kranse Waiting for Trial

Edward Krause, captured at Seattle, has been brought back Go Alaska as a fugitive from justice, and now lan- ouisbes in the federal jail at Juneau waiting for bis preliminary hearing which is promised from day to day. Krauss has been accused of impersOn- stinq an officer of the law and by means of a fake subpoena leading William Christie away from his work on Doug las Island for Che purpose of Kidnapping. He is also accused of having killed Christie and thrown bis body into the sea. Besides this, Krause is accused of having murdered and robbed Jim Plnnkett, Ole Moe and Jap at various times and places, and also of being ! deserter from the United States army and having defaulted with a sum of money left in bis care.
 On tbe other hand Kranse makes a general denial. He admits that on Oct. 3Oth be came Co Douglas Island in bis launch, that be went to the 700 mill and delivered a letter to Wm. Christie, who afterwards accompanied him to Juneau, but states that be made the trip at the solicitation of a stranger who accom- panied him and with whom Christie disappeared up the street in Juneau. His preliminary hearing before the commissioners court at Juneau may be held today.
 Krau,e was brought from Seattle on the Str. Humboldt, which arrived in the channel last Friday. The officers having him in charge avoided the curi- ous crowds by landing with their pris- oner at Thane, from whence they took him to jail in an automobile. They feared that the ma0y violent articles in local papers would result in some kind of a lawless demonstration.

British Headquarters, France, June
21.-"How are the turrets? Still hold
ing out?' they ask up and down the
line of anyone who has come from
Ypres. Everybody has tender per-
sonal interest in the turrets of the old
Cloth Hall which deepens with each
day that they survive in defiance OF
the German gunners above the wreck
age wrought by German shells.
People are still living in Rheims
and Louveran, but Ypres is absolutely
dead city Dead as Pompei; dead as
deserted mining camp in Alaska. No
| face appears in any door or window
| that can still be called a door or win
dow; no figures are seen moving
| through the shell holes in walls that
are still standing. ~.
| Before the war Ypres had some 49,
900 inhabitants. Now it has not a
single one. No one is making any Of
fort to make any ruin habitable. The
only signs of life except occasional
soldiers coming out and going to the
lines are cats grown wild which be-
come streaks of fur disappearing
among the ruins Of their former homes.
The cathedral which stands back Of
| the Cloth Hall was noble edifice no
doubt. but there are great many
cathedrals in Europe. The Cloth Hall
! is. unique the best Of its kind. Any
one who ever saw it always remember
ed it's turrets. Different conquerors
of Ypres put her women and children
! to the sword but no one had ever
harmed the old Cloth Hall beyond TAX
ing away few statues.
Last February perhaps four or five
thousand people remained in Ypres.
They were going and coming about the
streets as usual, keeping their shops
open and doing what business they
could at the old stand. A visitor could
get meal in a restaurant or have his
shoes cobbled Only one house in the
big square had been hit. It's roofs
dropped over the edges of corner
section which had been torn out OF
the main floor.
The Germans threw in occasional
shells mostly directed at the cathed-
raj with some of the missiles bound to
hit the Cloth Hall. Restoration work
which age required had just been
finished on the Cloth Hall before the
war began. The people paid for this
in their civic pride and let other civic
improvements wait. For the Cloth
Hall gave Ypres a civic distinction. 1t
was the historical soul of Ypres. The
old frescoes on It's walls told the city's
early history 1t meant to Ypres quite
as much in its way as Westminster
Abbey to London. OF Faneuil hall to

Correspondent Tells Of the
German Smelling of Ypres

| Boston. Every man or woman born in
Ypres had been brought up to tell the
time of day by the raised gilt figures
of the old golden cloth face.
BY February the peoples sense of
horror was exhausted. Destruction of
J things sacred to them had become
routine. When they heard another ex-
plosion and word was passed that the
Germans had scored another hit they
went around to the Grande Place to
see If the turrets and the gilt clock
face were still unframed And they
said The Cloth Hall still can be re-
stored stubborn Flemish who
| would not let shell fire drive them
away from their old town.
The next time The Associated Press
correspondent went to Ypres there
was not a single house left on the
Grande Place that resembled house
any more than a rubber bag with the
gas out Of it resembles balloon. In
the second battle Of Ypres when the
Germans had another try for the chan
mel ports the sensation of their attack
with asphyxiating gas overshadowed
what they did with their guns. Here
tofore their practice on Ypres had
been comparatively teasing playful,
ness. This time they went at the job
OF destruction Systematically, jumping
from one space on the checkerboard
to another they smashed Ypres section
by section.
AS they meant to take the town this
seemed poor policy for they would find
no roofs for shelter when they moved
in. But their object was confusion for
British reinforcements hurrying up
along roads crowded with refugees;
wholesale death for men in billets in
town and destruction and delay for
supplies and munitions coming
through the streets.
This was an excellent theory which
did not work out in practice. The
British were not billing troops to any
extent in Ypres and you could count
the number OF army wagons hit on
the fingers OF one hand. One shell in
the British trenches accomplished
more than ten into Ypres. The main
result was that the homes and offices
and cafes of eighteen thousand people
were destroyed.
The 42-centimeter 17-inch mortar)
had its part in the work. When sew
enteen-inch shell struck house the
remains Of the building not distributed
on the pavement were in an enlarged
cellar. Debris in the streets still re-
mains where it fell. There is no pur-
pose in cleaning it up in an uninhabit-
ed town Paving stones are scattered
about from the explosion OF q seven.

teen-inch shell which struck in the
center of the Grande place and made
a crater about fifteen feet across and
| ten feet deep. This two thousand
! pounds Of steel and powder did not
kill anybody SO far as could be learn
ed. It would not take paving gang
long to make repairs. Another which
could have brought down cathedral
tower dug still larger crater In the
soft earth Of the cathedral grounds.
Big shells or little shells, they do not
count unless they hit. On the prin-
I ciple that lightning never strikes
twice in the same place, probably the
safest cover you could find in case Of
another bombardment Of Ypres would
be to sit in the bottom of one Of those
craters. Another bombardment would
seem as bootless as failing last years
straw or kicking a dead dog. How
ever, the Germans keep on throwing
shells into the wreckage at intervals
as if they could never be satisfied that
they had properly finished the job Of
chaos Every standing wall was chip
ped with shrapnel. If there was
house which looked from the outside
as If 1t were unhit. it would be found
that it had been eviscerated by she'll
through the roof.
Yet only one OF the figures of that
golden clockface had been bent and
three out of the four turrets hold their
place untouched in relief against
genial afternoon sun of June above
the desolation Of that dead city.
"Well, what do you think of Ypres,
as place Of residence?" asked an
officer who rode by.
Pretty rotten" the visiting cores
pondent replied.
81 know one that is rottener," he re-
piled with suggestive nod back to-
ward the trench line beyond Ypres.
Were the turrets still holding out?
The visitors could report that they
were. To the German gunners they
must be like the high apple on the
tree that will not come down for all
the small boys throwing. It must
have cost about two hundred thousand
dollars in shells to destroy Ypres by
manufactured piecemeal earthquake
and 1t will cost several millions to re-
store It..
Occasionally a father of a family
who had to leave the town during the
bombardment Is able to secure cart
and permission to return to the sal
wage of the remains Of his house. he
finds that nothing has been DISTURBED
except by shell Are. Ypres is forbid
den bad lands where no one may go
except on military business. In
sense it is policed too in the same
way as a rattlesnakes nest. The cltl'
