INTERESTING FACTS
 CONCERNING CAMBRIA
 IN NORTHERN FRANCE

Cambrai, a town in North ern France, capital of Arron
 disement in the Department of Nord, 37 miles southeast of Lille, on the main line of the Northern Railway. Popu- latiOn in 1906, 21,791. Situ- ated on the right and eastern bank of the Scheldt, and at one extremity of the canal of St. Quentin. Cambrai is the ancient Nervian town of Cam aracum, which is mentioned in the Antonnine Itinerary. In the 5th century it was the capital of the Frankish King Raguacharius. Fortified by Charlemagne, it was captured and pillaged by the Norsmen in S70 and unsuccessfully be- sieged by the Hungarians in 953. During the 10th, 11th, and 18th centuries, it was the scene of frequent hostili- ties between the Bishop and supporters and citizens, the latter finally securing their in
 dependence. In 14S7 Louis XI. obtained possession at the death of Charles the Bold, and turned it over to Charles ", who caused it to be strong ly fortified in the 18th cen tury. From that date to the peace of Nijmwegen, which assigned it to France, it changed hands on numerous occasions. In more modern times many of the old fortifi- cations were demolished to make way for streets and su- burban residences. It is an important supply station and noted to tourists for it's archi- lecture and ancient church buildings. The British now dominate it with their guns, being within three miles of the suburban districts, and have laid seize to the place.

The presence of French and British troops on the Italian where they opposing German as well as Austrian emphasizes the fact that the pres is against both of the Teutonic Empires and that Italy ally just France and Britain Allies As often has been said in America there are but two sides to the war-our side and the enemy's side Austria is the enemys side and Italy is side.
 All the circumstances of the war would indicate that the United States should make the issue plain and clear cut by declaring Germanys allies who fighting allies. By that course the road would be clear for efficient cooperation among all the forces which fighting to make the world safe for democracy.

 chance meeting in Nome, Alaska, of William B. Van Valin, of the Rodman Wanamaker Eskimo expedition sent out under the auspices of the Uni versity Museum, and Dr. Harley Stamp who was re- turning from Siberia and Northern Alaska to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, resulted in Doctor Stamps bringing to this city the latest news of the University Museum party. Doctor Stamp spent several days with Mir. Van Vain, who left Nome in September, accompanied by his wife and daughter, bound for Point Barrow the northernmost part of Alaska, where they will spend the winter
 Several have arrived at the museum from MT Van Valn. They contain valuable ethnological pieces. Among those thus far received are examples of Siberian pottery and the more crude products of Eskimo pottery. There many small lamps, knives and hunting instruments from the Damede, Kings and Nunivah Islands. Artctic features include var ious pieces of Eskimo jewelry such as earrings of fossil ivory inaid with black Knives for scrap ing hides. scratching implements with which the Es kmo relieves himself from the assaults of body min, and fouh skulls in the collection
 It is expected that Mir Van Valin will arrive home next autumn During the winter he will take moving pictures of the natives and photograph records of their songs and folk lore.

ALASKA'S POSSIBLE DESTINY

 "Is Alaska destined to point the way to Govern ment ownership of railways
 This a question asked the Washington Post by Judge T. R. Shepard of Alaska, who for years resident of that Territory, where he practiced law
 Alaska has the only government owned railway in the United States" continued Judge Shepard at the Willard "The success failure of the Alaskan railroad may determine the praccability of national ownership of all railways and other public utilities. At rate, there those who looking with great deal of interest the project in Alaska. One thing appears certain, however and that is that the establishment of the Alaskan trunk line will not lead to the full development of Aaskas resources. There have got to be scores of feeders leading to the mining camps which the producers can transport their supplies Alaska will become a great agricultural country when this problem of transpor- tation is settled. The question: of will be in what way these feeders be constructed Wheth- CT they also should be government owned built by private capital has be determined

NAMING OF ALASKA
Washington Heraldl

The name Alaska is English corruption or perversion of Alayeksa and called by the abor- iginal inhabitants of the Aleutian Islands, lying the westward When the Russians first to one of the Aleutian Islands they told that a vast country lay to the eastward and that its name was Alayeksa. The Aleus called their own island Nagum Alayeksa, meaning the land lying Alayeksa. By process of Russianzng and Anglicizng Alayeksa became Alaska. and Nagun Aayeksa became Unalaska The original Aeutian word Aayeksa meant "the great country as the inhabitants of scattered islands would naturally consider vast continental region of varied resources and beautiful scenery Alayeksa Alas ka has since proved to be

One morning as l was getting up I thought I would like to take trip to Mars. l got my chum, Fred and told him my proposition and he thought it was fine. We went to work and at last agreed upon plan.
 The first thing we did was to build a huge metal shell. Inside of 1t was a storeroom, bedroom, living room and a good sized kitchen be- sides a steering room In one room there were some air tanks and a ma chine that made pure air In order to make air-we had to have some air-and that is what the air tanks were for. It took one ounce of air to make air enough for one month In the steering room there was sliding panel and when open there was some glass three feet thick that we could look through so as to change our course if necessary.
 We figured that with the speed our shell would make we would get to Mars in fifteen years so we stored provisions enough for that time
 Then we wheeled our shell over to big cannon which had been made for the purpose. The shell was hoisted into the mouth of the can non by huge derricks. The fuse was lighted after we had gotten in and made ourselves comfortable. Then came a great shock which knocked first to recover. Soon after Fred also recovered and we found that we were going at a terrific rate of speed.
 Year after year passed and all though we had many amuseMents such as music, games, and good books to read, we were anxious to aacn Mars.
 One day we noticed that our speed was increasing and we knew that We were in the atmosphere of Mars. The shell increased its speed day by day and the heat became almost un- bearable because of the friction of the air.
 Through our window we now could see Mars in the distance, and as we were rejoicing there came a tremendous shock which knocked us both over. We hurried to get out fthe shell which was half buried in the ground. Finally we had reached our destination and the things as they were on Mars far surpassed our imagination. The homes, flowers and trees were the most beautiful we had ever seen. The people of Mars were much more advanced than were the peo- pie of the earth. There was just one country, and one language was spoken. They were peaceable and industrious and everybody had plenty.
 We made a visit of about four months and were royalty entertain ed. We were very sorry when the time came for us to leave but we were anxious to see the earth and our friends once more.

UNWRITTEN LAW IS
 PART OF THE CODE
 OF GREAT BRITAIN

LONDON, Nov. 30.-Little doubt now exists that the "unwritten law" has come to stay in England. The nearing of the third case within two months in which this defense was offered has just been held in Nottingham, and for the third time the result has been acquittal.
 Te defendant in the Nottingham case was young soldier. His tenant Malcolm, and said: While the unwritten law is not recognized In England, the provocation in the case justifies the court in being lenient."
