TWO MEN LOST
ON .SH0UP GLACIER
Angus McDougall and f. f. McDOug-
all Start for Cameron-JOhnsOn
Mine and not Heard from

Word was received at the United
States Commissioners Office here this
morning that two well-known miners
Angus Mcdonald and E. E. Mcdonald,
were believed to be lost on Shoup
Glacier or along the route to the
Cameron-Johnson Mine, about nine
miles back on the glacier. The two
men left Shoup Bay Thanksgiving
morning, en- route for the Cameron
Johnson. At the time of their depar-
ture the day was warm and calm, and
no trouble was anticipated In reach
ing the mine before dark. The mill
and lower camp Of the mine stands at
an elevation Of 2400 feet on the right
side of the glacier. about seven miles
back from the water by trail and four
miles in an air line from the head Of
Shoup bay.
AS nothing has been heard of the
men since their departure 1t is fear
ed that some accident has happened
to them, and their friends have ap-
piled to the commissioners Office for
a searching party. Both men are old
timers here. of robust physique. and
used to the trail. 1t may be that they
are delayed at the mine by the heavy
winds of the past three weeks.
Angus Mcdonald, is about 40 years
of age and was formerly foreman for
the Mcintosh mine. and at present
Is Waterman at the Alaska-Standard.
E. E. Mcdonald, who is no relation
to Angus. has been employed as a
Waterman at the johnson
since 1t closed down several months
ago.

SETTING UP WORK IN FRANCE
French Military Exercises Make Amer.
lean Maneuvers Look Like Kin
derparten, Says Writer.

Every 80 often the captain takes US
makes us do French exercises. Believe
me. they are some exercise exclaims
George Pattullo in the Saturday Even
ing Post. The old army setting up eX-
ercises are joke beside them, and
these take about three weeks for guy
to work up to because you can't stand
them straight through until you get
hardened.
First you do the Indian walk, all
bent over with your hands near touch
ing the ground. 1t tires your back ami
legs; but that is the way you'll have to
walk In the trenches, SO why not train
the muscles now?
Then you get down ON your hands
and run like bear, straight ahead
and sideways. for about hundred
yards. And after that you put your
hands on the ground and leap like
frog the same distance! When you
have done that you start of from II
mark lickety-split as hard as you can
leg 1t, and then down you flop like u
sack Of meal and keep right on going
at crawl, Hat on your stomach, using
your elbows to do same. That Is to
!! practice advance with rife to attack.
You have to crawl over the ground on
your stomach, pulling yourself with
your hands, too.
These exercises are to train the mus
cles you will need when you go up to
fight the boche, because that Is the on
ly safe way to move around there. And
il amt 80 safe at that, neither!

The first time she played she happened

the next morning when she went out

looked at her wistfully and asked her
II she were going to play the next
morning. II she were he suggested
that he wait for her.
So 1t got to be a habit for Mrs. 8.
to play every morning and for Henry
to- wait and caddy for her. One day
Mrs. 8. said:
"You know. Henry, don't think it's
fair to you or to the other golf players
for you to caddy for me every time, be-
cause you are the best caddy up here.
everybody says. and I'm about the
worst player. Suppose we switch to-
morrow and you 20 with a good play
or. Wouldn't you like to do that?"
And Henry shook his fiery little
head. "Why. all the other caddies just

Copenhagen, Oct. 4.-The detention of
Swedish vessels by the United States,

causing much indignation here, even
among Swedes most friendly to the AL

in expressing its displeasure. Typical
comment appears in the Social Demok-
raten, which says:
Aggression of this sort is certainly
the poorest possible way to maintain
the idea that there is any real differ
ence between one belligrent group and
the other in the unscrupulousness with
which they wage war. After all the

value of $42,062. while SwitzerIand.s

quantity. was of less value Tho
