An example of chivalry reported In
Boelke''s book is to the effect that aft
er having encountered an adversary
Boelke made several rounds of hon
orr over the place where his enemy
had fallen. A round of honor among
aviators is q mark of courtesy to a
fallen brave enemy. Boelke himself
decorated the place where the enemy
aviator had been buried with bunch
of red, white and blue flowers.
One of Boslke's most remarkable
qualities was his respect for an enc
my, and he repeatedly used phrases
like the following: ga British aviator

yards above our trenches. He was a

paredness, universal military service,
governmental regulation Of immigra-
ton and compulsory health insurance
were discussed by corporation execu-
tives, labor leaders and noted publ
cists at the National Civic federation's
18th annual meeting, which opened
here yesterday V. Everit Macy, the
new president, is chairman.
Memorial services were held for
Seth Low, the late president Of the
organization, with addresses by Tai
colt Williams for the public, Frank
Trumbull for employers and Samuel
Gompers for labor.
The calling of a national confer
ence to discuss the question of state
legislation throughout the country
which would require employers to
compensate workers who contracted
occupational diseases was urged by
August Belmont, chairman of the
workmen's compensation department.
The enactment of special statutes COW
ering occupational diseases, apart
from accidents, would render. sickness
insurance unnecessary, Mr.. Belmont
said. Compensation laws should be
made to apply universally to all en-
ployers and should not be limited to
hazardous occupations, the speaker
declared.
Alexander J. Porter, chairman of
the fedesation's minimum wage COM
mission, announced that the national
organization is as yet unable to take
a position either for or against the
minimum wage movement, in the alb
sence Of conclusive evidence of the
beneficence of minimum wage laws
wherever they have been adopted and
because of the impossibility of apply
ing foreign experience to American
conditions.
Minimum wage legislation presents
the same need Of adjustment to mod

vailed by other forms Of labor regu-
lating legislation, Mr.. Porter said, and
state minimum wage commissions

DANCE GIVEN ID DEPARTING
 SKAGWAYANS

At q late hour yesterday after noon, too late for publication ill the Daily Alaskan, it was decided to give a farewell dance in the Arc tic Brotherhood hall to q number of the oldtimers in Skagway who are leaving on the Princess sophia to- night for the States. Although the dance was arranged for within short tune it was pronounced this n rnjny by those who attended to have been one of the best given in S6agway in long time.
 The music, which was furnished b Oscar Selmer, P, H. Ganty, and Ed. Waterman, seemed to be inspired by the very spirit of Halloween, and was full of many delightful trills which put variety and pep into the dances. Perhaps it was inspired by the box of candy which MT. Ganty supplied, but anyhow, a special vote of thanks was asked to be giv- en the musicians for their fine mu- sic.
 During the early part of the ev- eulng before the orchestra made its apI earance music was furnished by 9 Diamond Disc Edison photograph supplied by Keller Bros.

PRAISES CREW
 OF MINING MEN

NJ. W. NOLAN, MANAGER OF AL AsKA CORPORATIONS INTER- ESTS, SAYS THIS WAS THEIR BEST SEASON IN PORCUPINE DISTRICT.
The daily Alaskan., 1917-11-01

"The men working for me this year were the finest group one would run across in ten years in miuIng. They worked right up to the close of the season on the 24th day of October without Q compliant of any kind" This is the praise Martin w. Nolan, manag- CT of the Alaska Corporations in terests in Alaska and superintend- ent of the Porcupine mining pro- perties, has for the crew of men working for him this year in the Porcupine country.
 This has been a very fine sea scn in the Porcupine and Rainy Hollow districts" continued MT. Nolan, and although l am not at ioierty to state the amount of gold taken from the camp l will say that it has been our most successful year We closed down the work in Porcu- pine on October 24, but we may de- eide to put a gang of men to do drifting work in the creek during the winter months"
 MT. Nolan, who is an experienced hard rock miner, says this Is only his second season at hydraulic min tng but that it just takes common sense to understand it's principles. In appearance MT. Nolan is tall, with a very pleasing personality. He wears a small sandy colored mousrache which matches perfectly his smooth combed back hair of the same color. He is leaving to- night on the Princess Sophia for Seattle where he will take charge of his other interests, and says he may come back to Alaska next spring.
 All the property in the two dis trict", Rainy Hollow and POrcupine, looks exceedingly good. MT. Nolan predicts that the claims owned by Tom Vogel will have their best season next year.
 The copper properties in Rainy Hollow are much better than first thought. Two tunnels were sunk into the mountain early in the season which reached a 20 foot vein Of Boruite ore assaying high in value. Granby bay people and Oth- CTS from outside mining interests are high in the praise of the whole country.
 Iu the Porcupine district MT. Nolan is known as Lucky Nolan" for during the whole summers work the weather has been exceptionally fiue and there has been no trouble of any kind.

DISCUSSED IN LONDON
By Ed L. Keen,

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
London, Oct. 29.-The Italian situa-
ton dominated the whole war view
point today.
Engulfed by an Overwhelmingly
superior force in men and guns, Italy 3
armies were fast being thrown back in
a rout. The whole British press was un-
animous today in insisting that the al
lies must grant immediate aid.
Although all circles reiterated their
confidence in General Cadorna Is
strength and ability later to stem the
tide, nevertheless many newspapers to.
day pointed out that the enemy Is
power had been gravely miscalculated
by the allies.
General Cadorna IS admission of dis
affection in his ranks was more dis
quieting than the losses-staggering as
these have been reported by Berlin and
Vienna The Teutons were now claim
ing 100000 prisoners and seven hundred
guns.
If Italy's morale holds up, it was re-
garded as certain that Cadorna would
be able to make a stand on the plains.
Before that time it was expected that
allied aid would be reaching Italy.
Political Effect Worst.
The political effect of the German
drive was more feared here than the
military results. The Italians are out
numbered in men more than four to one
along practically the whole of the at
tacking front.
The Germans massed their men be-
hind the lines and smuggled guns into
position at night. Their lombard
ment opened with terrific fire from
guns whose positions had not even
previously been suspected by the
Italians. No such artillery fire has
been attained by the Germans since
Verdun as that which was poured over
the Italian positions.
Outnumbered in guns and men, Ca
dorna IS troops from that time on were
victims of a great war machine pursu-
ing the same tactics which the Germans
so successfully adopted in Rumania,
and a war machine led by the master
who conducted that Rumanian cam
paign, General Won Mackensen.
