WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES, Oct. !
29--'By Mall Some idea Of the
blighiing effect which German domino
ton has had on the inhabitants Of Al
SAGE and Lorraine. is apparent in the
fact, that during the past &c years, that
the two provinces have been annexed
to Germany, not single inhabltant
has ever attained even a medium high
rank IN the German army.
Before the German annexation, Alsace
and Lorraine produced, In proportion
10 their territorial, size and popula-
ton mora great generals and military
geniuses than any other country in
Europe
During the wars OF the French Re
public and Empire, when the whole at
mosphere Of Europe was military, Al
SAGE and Lorraine contributed no less
than 60 generals TO the French armies.
lStrassburg alone gave a. SO many of
these were verltable military geniuses
that the names Of % Of them are carved
on the Arch OF Triumph at Paris,
amongst the names OF the greatest gem
erals France has produced.
On the Arch are to be found the
names Of:
scherer, Wehrle, Beurmann, Wolf
Csstex, Kellermann, Stroll. Kleber
Schaucnbourg. Becker Stengel
Amey, Kellermann, Jr, LeFebyrc. lIa-
try, Boyer, .D0rsner, Schramm, Schnei-
der. Berckheim, Chouard, Schaal Bour-
cier Rapp, Walther Schramm, Jr, Coo
horn and Dahlmann.
All were natives OF Alsace and Lor-
raine as well as the 81 other generals
whose names do not appear on the
arch.
They came from every class Of peo-
pie in the two provinces. Generals like
Schauenbourg and Berckhelm were Of
the nobility. Kellermann and Kleber
came from the bourgeoisie while many
others rose from the soil and the
humblest ranks Of the army.
General Jean-Adam Schramm who
commanded Napoleon's grenadiers at
Austerliiz, was once a goose herder on
the plains of Beinhelm.
General Jacques-Job Ellie. who com
manded tho armies OF the Alpes, under
Kellermann IN 1877, began his career as
a volunteer soldier in the armies OF the

genius Of the national life Of Alsace
and Lorraine turned to military mat
ters, then, merely because the genius
o; all Europe was running in military
channels. Had it been a period of arts

equal contributions to the worlds
genius. But the world then demanded
military genius.
Yet. when in 1871. Alsace and Lor-

 The Alaska dog service was thought out and organized by :he French army. Owing to the fact that tho Alaska dogs are nearly white. they are practically invisible against the snow and can approach within a com paratively short distance of the Ger man lines for the purpose of picking up .he wounded without being fired on. Seven dogs with one of the long Alaska sleds and a single driver can length on the sled and bring him back to the dressing station with remarka. ble speed.
 Ambulance work Is only small portion of the duties assigned the dogs. They carry munitions. food and water to all parts of .he line with the utmost ease.
 Tn, usefulness of the dogs does not ceare with the departure of the snow in the spring. They haul cars on narrow guage railway tracks. Eleven dogs drag a car carrying one ton very easily and dash along with the same rollicking boisterousness with which they haul sisds.
 The dogs are kept in big kennels each housing 100. Fifty st alls line each side with l passage in the cen ter. Water is kept running for their use

An observer at the billiard game last night in the Board of Trade tournament. said that Pierce made all the brilliant shots and that Wells scored all the billiards This was not wholly true but gives a good idea of .he nature of the contest. E. F. Wells made his 300 points while Lee Pelree was gathering l60. Wells played hls accustomed game and gathered the balls together and nursed them along in a manner that showed in the score Often he would play an easy shot in a difficult way for the purpose of getting them together and that Is .he secret of his success His best runs were 45, 26. 19. and his average in 62 Innings 4.S4.
 Pierce got repeated applause for clever shots On one run he made seven successive difficult billiards and was applauded each time. He could not get them together and make his clever work show in the score. He made l6O in 61 innings and averaged 262.

ALASKAN DOCS DO VARIED WORK
 IN WAR ZONE

as follows:
 With the return of the heavy snow ln the Nosges, Alaskan dog teams are YyIng with the automobile drivers ot tue American ambulance and the members ot the Norwegian Red Cross skII corps for the honor of bringing ene greatest number or wounded.
 The Alaskan sled dogs, gathered in me most northwest territory of the United States, constitute the latest war material" being supplied from America to France.
 The original number of sled dogs brought to the Vosges from America numbered about 50G. These have beea pred and multiplied so rapidly that rrance now has a. her disposal over 1000 dogs. with all of the sleds and material necessary for performing an incredible amount of transport service in the snow-clad attitudes tf the Vosges.
 It Is principally In the Vosgoes that the members of the American ambu- lance have been assigned to duty. Their lgh. speedy cars not only enable them to scale all the peaks on which roads have been built. but even to leave the roads themselves in the direction of the first line of trenches for the purpose of picking up the wounded.
 In these Alpine regions. however. there are hundreds of places which even the ligh. American cars, with their absolutely fearless collegian drivers. cannot reach. and It Is in these districts that the Alaska dog teams. and the Norwegian Red Cross skill corps come In for the bulk of the

The rumor that a coast guardsman had been gone four days and had possibly perished in the blizzard proved to have no foundation. The facts are that guardsman Wester- haven and Louis Swanson went out for a spin on skis few days ago and when they were ready 70 return a blizzard came up and they did not care to tackle it as there was no urgency. Yesterday they were at Chace's roadhouse but as the wires were out of order could not send word. They came to town this after noon.
