AMERICAN SAVAGE MUCH BETTER THAN
 GERMAN SOLDIERS

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY in France, Nov. IA. - Compared to the German soldier of today who before the war was supposed to be civilized, the American Indian oi frontier days is declared by an American medical officer to have been highly civilized.
 The Indian never pretended to be anything but savage" said the medical officer, while the Germans have been pretending to be peace loving and human for the past cen tury."
 Deliberate killing by German troops of Red Cross workers en- gagged in their work of mercy on the battlefields has aroused the wrath of American army officers. It is as- serted that all during the Marne battle, the German aviators swept low over field dressing stations pouring machine gun bullets into the medical units as they tended the wounded and dropping bombs on hospitals, although the Red Cross insignia was in plain view. The Hun snipers picked off Red Cross stretcher bearers as quickly as com batant soldiers.
 They acted just like cornered rats," declared an American infan- try officer, except that most oi them did not have the courage to fight to the death. When they were surrounded and had no chance, they would come out of their machine gun nests with tears in their eyes and cries of 'Kamerad.' The German soldier in pleading attitude is the most loathesome and despicable i'm aginable."

CASKEY IS NOW TELLING BEAR
 STORIES, TOO

Many interesting bear stories have come out of the Interior during the last few months-most of them with the label of W. F. Thompson, the versatile editor of the News Miner attached to them. At least they were taken from w. Els newspaper However, the latest one comes from the Fairbanks morning paper, J
 Harmon Caskey's Citizen, and is is not bit behind the Thompson va riety. Here it is:
 Among the numerous bear stor- ies that have been told in the camp during the past summer none have realted that the bear of the present day are becoming somewhat choice in the matter of selecting a place for their winter abode. Peter Mati- yashcvich, who recently had occa- sion to .yisit friend on lower Goldstream, can certify that the bears that infest the vicinity of that section are fast becoming civ ilized and resent any intrusion of their domicile.
 Pete was on his way down Jug "et creek and being somewhat tired from his climb of Ester dome de- down and rest and enjoy smoke. Coming to one of the abandoned cabi~s at the lower end of the ereek he noticed one that offered the opportunity of his desire, there being some snow on the ground and he did not wish to catch cold. Com ing to the door of the cabin he proceeded to frisk himself for the "makings" and was about to roll a cigarette when his attention was at tracted by a movement in one corner of the cabin. Looking in that direction he was astonished to see huge black bear rise to its launches and salute him with a husky 'g-r-r-r-h,' at the same time spreading his fore paws as if for an embrace. Paralyzed for mo- ment he was undecided what to do He was stimulated to action mo- ment later when a hissing noise from another corner of the cabin showed the mate to bear number one as suming a hostile attitude. Consid
 ering discretion the better part ol valor Pete beat retreat, at tho same time keeping an eye on the
 bears. When he was a few feet from the cabin one of the brutes stuck it's head out of the window to make sure that he was going il the right direction and the othel came out on the path to see that ht went. He went.
 After arriving at safe distance Pete discovered that the weather was exceedingly warm although il was pretty cool that day. He was a mass of prespiration, and, accord ing to his narration, it was about as hot as in the middle of July witt
 the thermometer thrown away. Ht says that the next time he pays l a visit to bear in his cabin, he don't''
