NO JAPANESE
SERVE IN ARMY
Provost Marshal Decides Orientals
Cannot be Taken as
COnscripts

WASHINGTON, Sept. II, (By mail
via Anchorage).- Japanese will be
taken into the service Of the United
States army or navy. Instructions to
this effect were issued today by Pro
vost Marshal General f. H. Crowder
One Japanese had been certified for
service in the army, under the pro
visions of the selective conscription
act, and it was the drafting of him
that was made the basis of a formal
objection on the part Of Japan through
Aimaro Sato, Japanese ambassador to
the United States.
The Japanese drafted under the CON
scription law was certified by the fed
eral board at Trenton, n. j. He will
now be discharged from service under
the ruling of General Crowder.
The decision relative to Japanese
does not necessarily extend to any
other class Of alien residents in the
United States. Japanese are not ac-
corded the privilege of citizenship,
while this privilege is extended alien
residents from European countries, so
the CONSUMPTION law might be applied
differently toward them

tBy Associated Press)

SEWARD. March 22. 4 Recent ar rivals here by dog team rom Council, on Seward peninsula, brought news of a tragedy on the lower Kuskokwim. involving a fight for life against des- perate odds. The nero, who died try ing, was Duncan "Cinnibar" McDon- aid, well known miner, who had lived at ldtarod and later at Bethel on the Kuskokwim. His story was related by Mrs. Duke F. Stubbs. of Aniak, who ministered to him in his last hours.
 "Cinnibar" Mcdonald gained his name by his repeated efforts to in terest people with money to handle deposits of cinnibar on the Kusko- kwim. It is from this ore that the quicksilver of commerce is produced. Mcdonald found it an uphill under, taking. for while it is possible to get capital for gold mining, the average man with money to invest knows lit. tie or nothing about cinnibar and views it askance. Mcdonald wrote,

talked and dreamed about the min l eral he had found and the other min CTS finally called him "Cinnibar."
 But cinnibar is not good to eat, and Mcdonald was forced to abandon his hobby from time to time to mine gold, enough at least to keep him in sup plies from road houses between Idit- arod and Bethel.
 Some years back Mcdonald found placer ground on Bear creek. tribu- tary to the Kuskokwim, which looked good. In small gulleys near by pay dirt was found in various pockets and this year man named Danny Bryce, after four seasons work broke into the pay up stream. He went outside" with poke" full of nuggets the size of walnuts. Danny was silent about his find, but in a vague way it drifted back to Bethel that he had gone out to get a hydraulic plant
 "Cinnibar" heard 1t, and remem- bered his claims. He knew well the mining law which provides that any man stalking claim must do work on that claim each to the amount of $100 to hold it, and failure to have ninety days after the end of the year is considered evidence that the owner has abandoned it. so he hit the trail for Bear creek early in December to do his assessment work
 About forty days later trapper liv- ing on the Bethel-Aniak trail, who was keeping close to his cabin be cause it was fifty below zero outside. was attracted by strange figure crawling up the trail on hands and | knees, his whiskers a mass of ice. It was Mcdonald, his tongue was frozen to his teeth.
 The trapper, long in the wilds, pro. duced two cans of coal oil and a tub and proceeded to draw the frost" out of the frozen extremities of his friend. Thawing out a frozen man Is putting him through the torture of fire. The pain is the same as though the frozen part were held in flames. but 1t had to be done Thawing his | face and tongue was a job for a sur geon, but the trapper accomplished it.
 When it was done and the injured parts wrapped in a mixture of lard and other ingredients, Mcdonald made 1t known that there was something | wrong inside his chest and he must have a doctor. He signified his will lingness to be taken to Aniak, a four day trip, and away they went with the mercury lowering around forty.fiye below zero, the thawed "Cinnibar" wrapped in many blankets and robes on a dog sled.
 At Aniak Mrs. Stubbs took the case in hand and Arthur Willis took an other team and went to Iditarod for Dr. Moore, another three day trip.
 In the meantime "Cinnibar" felt himself going. The frost had bitten Into his lungs and for that there was no cure. He lisped with his injured tongue the story of the nine days be- fore he reached the trapper's cabin.

 He died delirious, mumbling about his claims and the days and nights he spent on the trail fighting the cold.

FORMER BISMARCK MAN

In view OF the fact that the dis
trict board and the adjutant general
have been chiefly concerned of late
with appeals from young men who do
not want to serve, a letter received
this morning by General Angus
Fraser from N. B. Carlson, formerly
of Bismarck but now of Moose Jaw,
Sask., was found rather refreshing.
Carlson writes: II wish to offer my
services to the United States. was

Carlson, advising him that if he

CHAPTER XIII.
The Depth Of DESPAIR,

MCCann's manner changed instantly
with the closing Of the door, although
he INDUCED in no remark, except to
order Liverpool to take charge Of the
deck, and permit White tor take his
place at the table. He passed me by
without word or glance, and dis.
appeared into his own staterOOin, the
farther one aft to starbOard. | waited
until Dade had assisted BascOm to re.
tire, and thea sought my own berth
to think the whole affnir over. Eas.
CONS appearance shocked me, and
felt there was death look In his face,
but our own periIOus position kept my
mind from dwelling long on this theme.
There was little--nOthing, In fact
that could do. must be content to
ltave Vera to evolve some means for
the final overthrow Of these men who
held US prisoners. Dubois remained
in the cabin on guard, probably with
Instructions to prevent my holding any
private Interviews, and the only assist
anCe l could give lny in the Juggling
Of figures, In which could not be too
cautious.
The main doubt assailing me had
come from a dim suspicion aroused on
the deck by McCann's questioning, and
Il sly glance exchanged between him
and Liverpool. We're the fellows really
contemplating making a landing else
where on the Newfoundland coast, in.

impossible, and the fact that 1t would
take US thoroughly by surprise would
appeal to the conspirators. Yet I dis

The man Simms was on guard, lolling
against the butt Of the mizzen mast,

orders, I turned toward the closed door
OF Miss Carrington's stateroom. In

and Miss Darlington were at the table
together, but, while I could differenti-

make little Of 1t. When they left the

played and sang all the time White

me a glimpse OF McCann, leaning
against the mizzen mast, his eyes upon
her. No offer Of food was made me,
nor did I see, or hear BascoiD: II lie
ate at all 1t must have been in his own
stateroom. Finally the music ceased,
the two exchanging a few apparently
friendly words, before the girl excused
herself, and returned to her room.
. I sat down to think again-hopeless,
my mind On the same treadmill. What
could I do! What effort Of mine was
possible" There was no means ny
which l could escape from the state

Mccain intended to leave me there tn

dishes, or any evidence Of work. Such
neglect certainly must mean that Nc

again, noiselessly, its scant quarter Of
an inch before 1t was stopped by the
bar, and sought to look out. The space
gave me no view; there was n light
burning, but turned SO low as to leave
the cabin In semldarkness. I waited
listening, but no movement told Of any
presence. For the fourth time ] tried
my knife point on the bar holding me
prisoner. 1t barely scratched the wood,
for I could not force the handle
through the narrow opening. / might
smash 1t by shots from my revolver
but that would leave me unarmed, and
create an alarm which would Oil the
cabin with men; besides the severed
ends Of the bar would still hold the
door secure.
I Strengthened up. my heart beating
like triphammer. Something strange,
unaccountable was occurring In the
cabin. I could make nothing Of 1t; not
even satisfy myself that what l seemed
to hear was IN actual reality-yet
there was sound like blow, followed
by barely audible groan, and the
sliding Of body to the deck.
