GIFT
GRAVE Defense
Believed to be First Violation of
Presidential Proclamation of
July, 1917

What is believed to be the first al
legged violation in Alaska of the presi-
Dental proclamation, forbidding the
selling or giving away of intoxicating
liquor within five miles of a naval or
military reservation in unincorporated
territory or within half mile of such
reservations in incorporated cities, is
charged against Zeke Perivich, Of An
chorage.
The case presents a new phase in
connection with Intoxicating liquor in
that city, which is not Incorporated
territory and all parts of which are
within five miles Of a military reser-
walton. 1t presents the issue of mere
ly giving away liquor, and emphasizes
the fact that violations Of the presi-
Dental proclamation are regarded
more seriously than the old ofense of
selling liquor in a prohibition com
munity.
Persons accused Of violating the
presidential proclamation, if evidence
is produced tending to establish their
guilt, are bound over to the United
States district court, instead of hav-
ing their cases finally disposed of by
the United States commissioner.
Perivich is accused Of merely giving
away, not selling, liquor in Anchor
age and within five miles of a military
reservation. The complaint against
him was filed before Commissioner
Leopold David. The accused man has
not entered a plea, and is at liberty
on bail,
President Wilson, under authority
of an act of congress, issued the proc
lamation regarding the selling or Civ
ing away Of liquor last July. The
same proclamation also forbids selling
or giving liquor to soldier or sailor
in the federal service at any time or
place.

Dispatches from the western front
contain interesting details of letters
and diaries of German soldiers cap
tured in the advance. One alluded to
the fact that the British shells deprive
them of shelter, wipe out their dug
outs and force them into the open.
Others refer to British air supremacy
and contain sneering reference to the
poor fight put up by the German air
men. But the most unkindest cut Of
alp is one that mentions the fact that
the German airmen find it much safer
to lombard open towns than to fly
over the British lines.

must be respected and the orders he
gives as a sentinel must be strictly
obeyed, not only by other soldiers but
by officers, whatever their rank,
During the night the sentinel will
challenge any person or party who
comes near his post, calling out sharp
Iy HALT. Who is there?" The per
SON challenged, or one of the party if
there are several persons, may be
permitted to approach for the purpose
of giving the countersign or of being
recognized. In case of doubt it is
a sentineps duty to prevent anyone
from passing him and to call the cor
poral Of the guard. "A sentinel will
never allow himself to be surprised,
nor permit two parties to advance on.
him at the same time"
Duties of Orderlies
Members of the guard may be as
signed to duty as orderHes to the COM
handing officer or to other officers,
"For these positions the soldiers will
be chosen who are most correct i'm
the performance Of duty and in mill
tary bearing, neatest in person and
clothing, and whose arms and accou-
trements are in the best condition"
1t is decidedly compliment to any
soldier to be designated to serve as an
orderly
An orderly usually accompanies the
officer wherever ne goes, assists or
serves him in accordance with direc-
tions, carries messages for him, and
the like.
Exterior guard duty consists of
keeping watch at a distance from the
main body of troops. When a camp
is within possible striking distance.
from the enemy, it is necessary to.
place small parties of men at points
where they may observe an approach
ing enemy, give the alarm, and if pos
siblc check or stop his advance. These
parties are known as outposts.
When large body Of troops is on
the march, advance, rear, and flank
guards keep watch on the surround
ing country. In general their duties
are similar to those of outposts.
Scouting
ore OF the most responsible duties
to which soldier may be assigned.
is patroIHng or scouting An Infan-
try patrol usually consists of from 81
to rs men. 1t is sent out for the pur-
pose of obtaining information as to the.
enemy, his numbers, and the nature Of.
the country over which the partol
travels. 1t is not usually intended that
the patrol should fight, since its prime
purpose is to obtain and bring back
information. However, it may be fore
ed to fight, if discovered, in order to
protect the escape of at least one of
its members with a report OF the in
formation secured.
every soldier should be able to find
his way in a strange country; should
know how to use a compass; should
know how to locate the north star;
should be able to travel across coun-
try, keeping a given direction, both
by day and by night, and by Observ-
ing landmarks he should be able to
return to the starting point whether
over the same route or by a more cir
cuitous one This can easily be learn
ed by little practice. 1t adds a great
deal to the value of a soldier if he.

TERRIBLE DEEDS OF U,BOATS
TOLD BY UNITED STATES CONSUL

to awake the homicidal mania in the
submarine commanders. On dismal
February day l saw the dismembered
fragments of the captain of the
Anglo Californian carried ashore in j
gunnysack and the mutilated corpses
Of eight of his men. Their crime con
sisted in having tried to run away
from the destruction! In the Eaves-
tone case the submarine deliberately
turned its guns upon the lifeboats
when they were we'll away from their
sinking ship and shot down the cap
tain and four men.
Amused by Drownings
"The submarine officers amused
themselves by taking snapshots to
send home to their sweethearts Of y
men who were drowning, and in an
other an American merchant officer
was taken back on board and made
to touch off the bombs which destroy
ed his own vessel
"Often heroic actions by the victims
occurred. While the Saxonian was be-
ing shelled young Pennsylvania
sailor reached the ladder to the boats
at the same time with the boatswain.
and although shots were whistIing
around them he stepped gallantIy
aside and let the elder man go first
When they were both on the ladder q
shell burst behind them and killed the
boatswain Instantly, while our brave
American boy escaped with only few
painful wounds
"But, to me, the dumbfounding, the
Supplying thing about the submarine
is that they attack passenger ships
and kill women and children Rough
work by man against man is more
comprehensive, and most men do not
care to protest even if their opponent
does fight foul But war against
women, and foul play at that is the
consummate quintessence Of sayagery.
The Germans themselves seem to rec
ognizc this, for in only one Of the pas
senger cases handled did the subma-
rine have the nerve to hail the boats
after it had wrought its deed Of
shame"

The misery and suffering of the hu-
man victims of the ruthless German
submarine campaign were depicted by
Wesley Frost, American consul at
Queenstown, Ireland, for the three
years ending last June, when he spoke
in the Shrine auditorium Of the new
Masonic temple, Seattle, before an au-
dience of 800 silent, solemn listen
ers. Only twice during the speech did
the audience applaud, and that was
when the speaker voiced patriotic SEN
timeuts; and twice an audible sob
arose from the listeners as Mr. Frost
touched upon gruesome scenes atten-
dant upon de sinking Of the Lusita-
MIA.
Mr.. Frost told Of now the bodies of
the victims of the Lusitania were cast
up by the Gulf Stream more than two
hundred miles along the coast Of Ire
land. In recounting the horrors Of the
Lusitania affair, he reminded the au-
dience he did it not in a spirit Of ven
geance, but to bring home to them the
true conditions.
OberHn Society Guest
He was the dinner guest that night
Of the Oberlin Alumni Association at
its banquet in the Rainier Club. He
left for Portland shortly after his
speech
In part, he spoke as follows
"Ten thousand men, women and
children have now been killed by Ger
man submarines. Every month sees
losses equal to those of the Lusitania
horror, and every day the death Of &5
inocent civilians. At this moment tho
poor fellows from two or three yes
sells are fighting for breath.
"The ocean south Of Ireland is the
most crowded highway of commerce
in the world; on a fine day I have
seen merchant ships in all directions,
like a vast parade. Thus it happened
that as consul at Queenstown for the
three years ending last June, l report
ed to our government upon the de-
struction by submarines Of eighty-one.

Most businesses N Morgan City
have enjoyed a good Christmas bus
mess. Some were prepared along
the lines which they believed the
times demanded and others failed to
prepare in any way. Not so many
toys have been sold this year as for

sale of substantial, useful gifts
which has equalized sales volume.
Morgan City merchants have been
fortunate IN being in the midst o.

Jewefry store three rings set with anne
thysts which had faded to pale yell
low within few months after he had
bought them. He then discovered that
instead Of amethysts the gems were
topazes. The latter vary in color from
pale yellow to deep violet and purple.
Under high temperatures amethysts
change color, becoming first yellow,
then green, and finally entirely color
less. Under ordinary temperatures,
however, genuine amethysts do not
change color.

A laxative today saves a sick child

perfectly harmless, and in a few hours
all this constipation poison, sour bile
and fermenting waste will gently
move out of the bowels, and you have
