 The terrific battle in progress for a smell French village stopped suddenly.

It seemed perfec ly happy, chucklng at the long rows of steel helmets cautiously raised about the trench parapet by the amazed soldiers. What fol lows is tcll by the Prusslan officer, Edgar ven Schmidt -Pauli, whose account we quote from the Chattanooga News:

ERROR IN ITEM OF NEWS
 RESPONSIBLEFCR CONFUSION

The Pioneer erroneously stated last week that there would be no mail either outgoing or incoming between August 26 and Sept. 29' It should have read according to the announcement on the po>tot1ice bulletin beard "be,wecn August 26 and September G." and even then the announcement would have been incorrect The fact is that with the dispatch of last Thursdays mail no consignment will leave here until August 9.
 The result of the announcement was that there has been much questioning of the post master, the telephone operators and tke newspaper. and incidentally the mail service came in for some unmerited criticism.
 The summer service calls for four mails monthly, and as there are nine weeks in the months of July and August, one week has to be skipped.
 The incoming mail is expected today and there will be no dispatch of mail until August g.

MRS. CHARLOTTE FORD
 RELIEVED OF SUFFERINGS
 AFTER YEARS OF ILLNESS

Mrs. Charlotte Ford wife of Jeremiah Ford, the well known mining operator, died at 4 o'clock last Tuesday afternoon at their camp at the Summit mine She was stricken by paralysis few days ago, and never re gained consciousness. Mrs. Ford had been practically an invalid for many years, and while her death came as rather a sudden shock to friends, 1t was not unexpected.
 Mrs Charlotte (Hyatt Ford was 5S years of age, and was born in the Susque- hanna valley Pennsylvania She was mar ried to Mir Ford in 1896 in North Dakota, and came to Dawson in 1898. Later the couple lived for some years at Rampant, and came to Iditsrod in 1912, and have been connected with the camp ever since. Two years ago MT and Mrs. Ford went Outside with the expectation that the atter's health would improve but she was not benefited by the change, and preferred to live near the scene of her husbands activities
 The remains haze been embalmed, and will be taken Outside for burial by MT. Ford in the fall They will in all probability be inferred at her cd home in Pennsylvania.
 Besides her husband, Mrs Ford leaves two brothers, Lee Hyatt of Swink, Cclo, and Charles Hyatt. resident of Nevada
 The funeral services were held at A. B. hall, Iditarod, on Thursday afternoon, being conducted by Commissioner A. M. Kilgore, assisted by choir composed of Messrs. Cyril Wood, Harry Leland, William Ansley, Jr., end K H. Gideon, with Miss Cliff Albrecht at the piano.
 MT. KiIgcre raid sincere tribute to the memory of the departed instancing her well known kindness of heart and spoke of the patience with which she had endured many years of suffering, which prompted her to be deeply sympathetic of others misfortunes and sufferng> From scriptural texts he held out thc assurance of immortality, and entrusted the hope of the Christian with the beliefs promulgated by pagan religions, whose conception of the hereafter was oblivion and nothingness The choir rem dcred several we'll known hymns, and con cluding the services Mr KiIgore led the congregation in prayer.
 MT. K!lgore read with much feeling the beautiful poem entitled Crossing the Bar.
 The services were attended by scores of friends of the deceased from all parts of the district, and the pallbearers were from among the employes of the Summit mine

 The question of exemption from the draft Is one that will be taken up later by the local examining boards. Word comes from Washington that rigid adherence 10 the pol icy laid down in the national army seIectiyc draft law, of placing the question of exemp- tions in the hands of local boards, is eX- pected to characterize the exemption regu- lations which have not yet been made pub lie here.
 It is understood that the regulations will map out only the general procedure of the boards. the personnel of which already has been announced It is regarded as certain that no specific cless exemptions will be provided for and that each man will be appraised on his individual occupation and physical capacity when his name is called and he is summoned before the local boards.
 No man with serious physical defects will be called upon for military service. Crippled or defective persons among those who a!e registered may possibly be dropped from the rolls The judgment of the civil an doctors who are attached to local exen.p- tion boards as to the ability of any inGi- vidual to bear the hardships of a soldiers life will be determining factor.
 Married men will not be exempted as 2 class In each case the object of the board will be to determine whether the depen dency cf wife, chilTren CT other relatives upon any man Is so complete as to warrant his rejection as sClli2r
 No inkling has been given as to the part to be assigned to those who are to be granted partial exemption because of re ligious belief They gre to be freed of the necessity of firing upon enemy soldiers and therefore from regular military service, but the act contemplates that they can serve in some noncombatant capacity behind tie lines, and holds them liable for such service

FROST AND HIGH WATER ARE UNUSUAL CONDITIONS
 OF WEATHER FOR JULY

After two weeks of almost constant down pourS of rain, varied early in the week by halstorms, the weather turned cold on Tues day night, and frost and snow were re ported from the hills at the head of Flat creek. On Wednesday night the whole dis trict was visited by killing frost, and gar dens in most instances were ruined. Ice formed on the sidewalks and in pools.
 The weather this summer probably sets a new record for this district Hitherto the summer of 1910 has been spoken of as the wettest ever known here At that time the whole Idltarod townsite was a sea of mud, and rubber boots were the universal foot gear This summer. however, IS believed to have been even more moist than the sum mer of 1910 The river for many days past has been at an extremely high stage, snd the power plant of the Yukon Gold Com pany. several miles above the city, has been inundated to depth of several inches.
 Great anxiety has been felt for the safety of the cordwood held by the boom at the power plant, and men have been engaged for several days past Tn preparing for the possible breaking of the boom. The boom below the city has been strengthened, and channel made so that in case the wood should break loose it may be turned into the lake and saved About fifteen hundred cords were said to be endangered, The river having now apparently reached its highest stage, the danger is regarded as past.
 At the hill placers of course, the abun dant water has been a great boon, but even there it has been accompanied by disadvan- tages and some damage was done to fumes h some instances pipes were clogged with sand and considerable damage resulted

 No man tried to do more for interna, tional peace than Carnegie. After the com mission which he had financed had reported on Balkan war atrocities he pledged him self to a world campaign against war. When, in the last days of July, 1914, Europe faced Armageddon, Carnegie toiled like Titan. As uitimatums flashed back and forth, Car negie worried, tense with anxiety.
