States exported to the Allies eighty million bushels of wheat products. Of this it is asserted that thirty million bushels represented volun- tary sacrifices by the American people in their consumption of wheat
 There is triple economy, a triple aspect to this saving of wheat. It saved wheat for our army and the armies of our allies; it saved money to the American people, and for the most part this money went for the purchase of government war securities.
 There is another saving still; this sort of sacrifice and economy is helping win the war-shorten the war-with the resultant saving of soldiers lives.

INFLUENZA

Influenza, lagrippe-an epidemic catarrhal fever, now believed to be due to very minute bacillus that can be found in the various secretions. Spanish influenza is a type of this epidemic disease There are so many types of the disease and so many parts of the body may be dis tinctly attacked by it that it some what baffles close definition. The epidemics vary much in severity, as well as in type. During the last decade it has become almost con- stantly present over portions of the United States, in some years being worse than others.
 After one to four days incubation the disease usually sets in abruptly with chilliness or true rigor, this is followed by fever (which may be constantly low or may run very high), headache and general aching and a degree of prostration out of any proportion to any discoverable cause.
 So great is the variation of it's symptoms that no standard descrip- tion. can be given, and the types are classified according to promin- ent features.

AIRMAN's CHOICE

Every man who begins an air mans training in the British Air force has the opportunity of mak- ing a choice as to whether he will go in for fighting, bombing, artillery cooperation, or some other branch of work
 The battle-zone air forces are grouped into thZe main divisions Corps squadrons, Army squadrons, and Headquarters squadrens.
 The chief function of Corps squadrons, explains an Associated Press Correspondent, is artillery ob- servation-that is ''spotting" for and directing the fire of, the big guns. In addition, the corps squad rons must be ready at any time to undertake "close" reconnaissance, close bombing and close photography as we'll as "contact patrols. The chief business of the army squad rons is air fighting. If German ma chimes approach the British lines searching for information, they must be engaged and either shot down or chased him. Offensive patrols which the American airmen have nicknamed "O-pips", become part of the daily routine of life with the man who is a member of the army squadron. In addition, army squad rons do an immense amount of dis tant reconnaissance, distant bomb ing, and distant photography. It is also their duty to protect the slower corps machine from enemy molesta- ton.
 The headquarters squa irons, as their name implies, are directly under the control of the Royal Ali Force headquarters in the field, and are engaged in all sorts of long distance reconnaissance, bombing and photography. .:

HONOLULU.-Professor w. H. Longley, of Gouray College, Balti- more, has just completed a set of thirty-two underwater photographs of the brilliantly colored tropical fish which inhabit the waters of Hawaii. Taken with specially de- signed camera, Professor Longley hopes to develop the plates to re- produce the natural colors. He be- lieves they are the first photo graphs of the kind taken.
 The plates have been packed in alright cases for shipment to Balti- more, where they will be developed.

CARGO SPACE IS
 SHORT 0N COAST \AIUkN HIM IIuA\

ANCHORAGE.-Fish packers on Cook Inlet in the vicinity of Anchor age are encountering difficulty in obtaining cargo space for shipments from Anchorage to the States.
 A steamship recently refused to take aboard 7,500 cases of canned salmon that had been brought from cannery at Kenai to Anchorage for shipment to Seattle. The ves- sel, before reaching Cook Inlet on her way north, had contracted with canneries all her cargo space for the southward voyage of the craft, so she was unable to accept the An chorage fish for shipment.

WARSHIP

HAVANA, Cuba.-Efforts are be- ing made by local salvaging con- cern to raise the old Spanish sloop- of-war Pomona, which sank off the coast of Cuba more than 100 years ago Automatic "floaters", the invention of a Cuban, are be- ing used.
 Besides the treasure in silver plate which it is hoped may be found in the wreckage, the sal vagers expect to recover 42 bronze cannon, with which the ship was armed. Several of these ancient weapons can be seen from the sur face and one is already reported as having been brought up.

 Seward is a fine little town, and can boast of some good streets, cement sidewalks and modern con- crete buildings, though business does not seem to be as brisk as in Ne mana.
 Quite a number of Marines and sailors on board the Sherman from the Asiatic fleet and Vladivostock, going home on furlough after their four years service. Of course, the Marines are the center of attrac- ton with us fellows, with their romantic tales of the Orient and the Bolsheviks in Vladivostock. They merely did guard duty while in Vladivostock-taki care of Bol- shevikis captured by the Czechs and Slavs, and helping to police the city. Their scrap books are inter esting. They have some fine postals depicting scenes in chaotic Vladi- vostock, street fighting, large build ings being besieged by the Czechs, Bolsheviki orators harranguing the crowds; but best of all German off cers being led to the firing squad for inhuman treatment of prisoners and civilians. The Marines express great admiration for the Czechs, and characterize their days in Vladi- vostock as lone salute after an other The Czechs salute all Ameri- cans-officers and privates alike They say they are wonderful fight ing men; no doubt spurred on by the tragic memory of innumerable battles for liberty from the hateful dominence of Austria. Their wound ed show great fortitude, bearing their sufferings stoically and beg ging to allow American doctors to operate on them.
 The Marines say the Jap officers show great tact and the discipline of the men is wonderful, and that the Jap, despite his size, is worthy antagonist in the field for any Flu. ropean. The Marines also have some strange souvenirs, picked uI l in the charnel houses of Vladivos i tock-officer's chevrons, German saw-tooth bayonets and side arms.

They appeal to the Ameri cans to allow them to work out their own destiny, addressing theS as Fellow workers and brothers" then go on to tell of their year: of oppression and persecution und> their capitalistic masters.

Riding at Anchor Five Miles

 Just a few nasty lines while we have a chance to let you know we are all safe and sound
 After an uneventful, tedious wait of three weeks or more in St. Mi chael, the welcome cry of transport. transport. at last sent the blood tingling through our veins Every morning, noon and night, during this three weeks vigil, every whis-. tie, tug, steamboat or power house blast was a signal for lusty chorus of transport. transport. I am will ing to wager Balboa on his first glance of the Pacific, felt no more electrified than we, when reaching the crest of the radio hill, gained our first glimpse of the Sherman riding at anchor about five miles off shore Even the o. C., in the course of short address at a Co. B and Co. D smoker the night be- fore the arrival of the Sherman, confessed himself as growing a little pessimistic as to the existence of transport within a thousand miles or so of St. Michael, and humor- ously mentioned the possibility of a return to Gibbon. You can imagine the determined reply of No! No! from over two hundred throats to this last sally.
 We prepared to leave about 2 p. m., the Davis and a tug were to tow us out. Packs were shouldered and roll call taken; two privates failed to answer; then ensued a wait of twenty minutes, till the o. c. gave orders to cast off. We were out hundred yards or so when much gesticulation by the citizens of St. Michael, en masse on the dock, announced the arrival of the two belated privates. The Davis, after much maneuvering, pushed the barge back to the dock and they climbed aboard. The o. C., dynamic personality him. self will not countenance sloth on the part of any of the company, de- nounced them in no uncertain terms. They're doing K P. now (peeling spuds). .:..
 The first day out the weather was moderate, but the second night an eighty-five mile an hour gale developed. The following morning number of the boys, l am safe in stating the majority, couldn't answer reveille. Even as guests here on ship we must forsake the feathers at 6 a. m. If a second call is nee essary it is not like being awakened by a patient mother either. We are quartered away up forward, where you ride high, then drop about fifty feet or so. A stand at the tubs, ringed with seasick boys, required a good deal of pushing and showing for a while, though it didn't feaze me. ~... .:... .= ....=
 Seward was reached yesterday at p. m. with shore leave until mid, night. As soon as the plank was down, the race for the restaurants commenced; by p. m., the Seward Grill, the largest place in town, had to close to re-stock. Not a single young man eligible for military service seemed to be in evidence Even the picture theater, a mode little show-house, is right up tc the minute in the hands of foul capable young ladies. About BOG attended the dance given by the orchestra of Go. B., consisting ot Roy Mattson, Wm. Keller, Hjalmal Nordale, Andy Burns, Monk Murphy and Caldheart.
