SOLDIERS NAMES
 .CARD-INDEXED
Thorough, Comprehensive and Ac- curate System to Be Followed
 by War Department

A most comprehensive card-indcN system win be naugurated by the war department Plans have prac- ucauy been completed for the crc- auou iu Che department Of "sta- ust.cal division" with a foreign branch iu Paris
 This division win keep a card index record of every soldier of the United States, whether on duty m th.s country or on che battlehclds ot Europe. Every man In the army whether officer or private, will be iudcxcd by name and the records filed iu alphabetical order for im- mediate reference should the names appear either m army orders or cas- ualty lists. With the description Of each soldier win be given the name Of his next kin with emergency od- dress.
 The oucc-cousidcred plan Of giv- ing each man iu the National army Ia number has virtually been abau- doued by Che war department. lt .s now understood the records will not be kept by numbers. nor win the soldiers engaged iu foreign service be identified by a numbered tag. The war department may finally de- eide upon thc plan which has been
 u vogue in Che regular army. This Identification system is that each soldier shall wear about his neck. and underneath his clothing, a small aluminium Bag giving his name and company
 with Che organization Of tho sta- ustical division. which will employ several hundred clerks in this coun- ry and France. tho card-indeX rec ord of tho army will be rapidly complied. This record not only will embrace those men actually in the fighting corps of the United States, but engineers. civilians, war cor | respondents and others who are at- tachcd in any way Co the armed forces.

ATROCITIES OF
 GERMANS MANY
Photographs of Outraged Victims Prove to What Extent German
 Atrocities Go

The following from the Chicago Daily News coming as it does after personal investigation and obserya- ton is one of the strongest indict- ments of Germany that has so far appeared in the public prints:
 "Ton thousand atrocities commit ted on a 3OO-milc front by the kali sor's soldiers have been recorded in photographs and refugees testimony by trained men following in the wake of the German armies. accord ing to Rev. Newell Dwight Hills. delegated by the American Bankers Association to conduct an invosti- gation of German outragcs in east crn France.
 His report is to be given Co the public in serial forms in the shape of sermons. The first of the ser mons was delivered last Sunday in Plymouth church, Brooklyn, under the title. The German Atrocities as the Logical and Inevitable Result of the German Philosophy of Mill tarlsm.
 For three years' said Dr. Hills, 'German-Americans have protested that tho stories of German atrocities were to be disbelieved as English inventions, Belgian lies and French bypocrisies. Tho photo graphs of dead and mutllated girls, children and old men tell no lies.
 "'The Germans slaughtered old men and matrons, mutilated cap tives in ways that can only be spoken of by men in whispers, vio- lated little girls until they were dead. Finding calfsltin nailed upon barn door to be dried they nailed a babe beside it and wrote beneath the word:
 "Zwei." Ctwo)
 During July and August we went slowly from one ruined town to another. talking with women and the children; comparing the photo graphs and the full official records made at the time with the state monts of tho poor, wretched sur Tivors.
 "'Thls war began in a confer once i'm the Potsdam palace in 1892 The pamphlet distributed by thC kaiser begins with theso words: "Tho Pan-German Empire: From 1 Hamburg on the North Sea to thC |. Persian Gulf. Our immediate goal; 25O, 100000 of people. Our ulti- mate goal: Tho Communication of tho world"
 "'The explanation of the kaiser contains these words: Prom child hood l have been under the innuencC of five men. Alexander. Juluis Cae sar. Theodorlc II, Frederick th' Great, Napoleon. Each of these mer dreamed a dream of world empire they failed. I am dreaming . German world emplre-and my mailed fist shall succeed. "'"

Iditarod Pioneer suspends Publica- ton and Owner Leaves for

Tho only really and truly "Pio- ncor" in Alaska is no more.
 The pioneer above referred 10 was not a miner or prospector or boozer and was not eligible for admission to the Pioneers Home at Sitka.
 No. indeed.
 It was the Iditarod Pioneer. n Ilight-running, self-lubricating news paper that first saw the light Of day six years ago and just after gold had been discovered in that country and when parkas and moccasins were recherche at fancy dress func- tions.
 Tho "pcrpctrator" Of the Iditarod Pioneer the man who stood on its bridge at midnight-wa George NJ.

(Old roulette players will understandD
 Buck" led the vanguard Co the lditarod country and passed from our ken. except that we always re- cclycd his paper in exchange and cherished it as a message from a wandering brother. We supposed he was prospcring and were on the verge of writing him for a loan when the news came that he had suspended publication and had beat it for the great outside" Thus was our plans shattered
 We have no idea where Buck" is now, where he may cast his fu- ture lot, or where he even headed for when he left Alaska; but we can truthfully say of him:
 No better, no more eccentric, no bigger groucher (when things went wrong in tho front" room) and no bigger-hearted man than Buck" Arbucklc ever joined the cverlast- ing throng in the early-day rush to Alaska-or since. He was true blue and lacked but a few inches of being a yard wide.

 4 similar bill passed the house some time ago but failed in the senate. Now IL has passed the senate and will be presented by MT. Hayden n the house, If it becomes law an enlistment means that while at war the miner can count the time. so far as his claim is con cerned, as merely lapsed. taking up his claim work when he returns at the point he abandoned it.
