BRITISH DRIVES FORCE ENEMY
 IT RETREAT
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, March 21. - The stormy weather continues in northern France, with severe cold winds and frequent snow squalls. The British troops are following the retreating Germans closely and the ruined villages aban- doned by the Germans are affording shelter for pursuers. The Germans take the last loaves of bread from the inhabitants before setting fire to the villages.
 The Germans are falling back more rapidly and offering less resistance to the British pressure between Ham and Peronne, but the resistance is more stubborn further north and south of Peronne. The British are now entering smoking villages seven miles east of the Somme river.

MAN OF MYSTERY GOING INSIDE
 WITH OUTFIT
(From Fairbanks News-Miner)

(From Fairbanks News Miner)
 Deming Wheeler, Alaska's man of mystery, is making another mysteri- ous move, according to advices re- ceived here from the coast. Again his move is in the direction of Fair banks, which he has made his head quarters off and on for the past sev- eral years. This time he is bringing large outfit, presumed to be for camping purposes, as he is bringing 1t with four horse rig. His wife and her brother are with him, as are sew eral hired men. Nothing is known concerning the destination of the party in the interior, but 1t is pre- sumed to be the Mt Mckinley coun- try. The Wheeler party left Cordova, and is due to arrive in Fairbanks within the next few days at the most, but just when is not known.
 MT. Wheeler has been coming to in- terior Alaska for the past four or five years. Sometimes he came in over the trail and other times from some other direction. Once, in the depth of winter, when nobody in Fairbanks knew anything of his whereabouts. he came down the Yukon river, and still another time from the upper reaches of the Panama. Each time he came he stayed here but few days, always leaving for parts unknown just as quietly as he came. Questioned in re- gard to his travels, he has always said that he was travelling for pleasure and health. and this explanation has al ways been accepted, as he is known to be the scion of wealthy Indiana family.
 Last spring MT Wheeler brought his bride to Fairbanks. Shortly before the opening of navigation they took a dog team and started down the river. They were heard of at Nenana and several other places along the river at that time, but nothing was general. ly known concerning their departure from the outside, where they have presumably been.
 One of MT. Wheeler's pet hobbies has been to try to cross dogs and wolves in order that he might secure some fast sled dogs. He has been sue cessful to a considerable extent, &C., cording to current report. as he has several wolf dogs in the fast team which he drives in the winter.

My knitting is just begun.
What do you knit Little Sister?
A scarf for your shiny gold head
oh. no. let my hair go uncovered,
knit for lad instead.
And who is the lad, Little Sister,
Your own lad by love and right
Oh no II you please it is any dear lad,
Barefooted there in the fight.
When saw your bowed head, Little

And your hand moving on your

In Our Father and Hail Marie.
