PRESBY FRY TO MEET HERE IN
 SEPTEMBER.

The annual meeting of the Presby tery of the Yukon will convene at Cor dova the latter part of September. the exact date to be determined upon he arrival hefe of Rev. James H. Condit, of Juneau, superintendent of the Pres byterian missions in Alaska, who is now on trip to the interior. A mis sion is to be established at Nenana, with Rev. Diven, of Sitka, in charge. Rev. Condit will visit Fairbanks &y,d come to Cordoya direct from Nome.
 The Presbytery. which meets here next month, includes all of Alaska, with the exception of the southeastern section, which is organized into the Presbytery of Alaska. The ministers of the Presbytery of the Yukon are more widely separated than in any other Presbytery of the Presbyterian church. It's representatives are never able to convene at any one place CT time, since they occupy territory so widely separated as Point Barrow, Fairbanks and Anchorage.
 The Presbyterian church was the first Protestant organization to estab- fish missions in Alaska, and sustains more missions in the north at the pre- sent time than any other institution It's school at Sitka, the Sheldon Jack son Industrial Institution, is the larg est in the territory. This school is sometimes wrongly ascribed to the bureau of education
 It is the plan of the church to keep pace with the development of the ter ritory in it's mission work. Since 1878, when it's first missionaries arrived, it established missions in most of the important centers. and through it's board of home missions has expended large sums of money in the support Of it's work. Unquestionably it's in fluence has been an important one in the moral and spiritual development of this country.

MANY IRON CROSSES ARE AWARDED

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 14.-That 2,200OOO iron crosses of the second class and 49000 of the first class have been awarded during the war, is shown by announcements published in Berlin which have been received here. Of this number 3660 were con ferred upon individuals behind the front '' but it is certain that the number of persons wearing the decoration who have never been under fire is even larger. The classification 'behind the front" pro bably applies only to noncombatants engaged in war service, and not to individuals, like Von Jagow and other civilians who from time to time have been sta toned at the main headquarters
