PARCAED LIPS PULLED FROM
 MANS TEETH

LONDON, March 15. - Some of the hardships experienced by British forces in Palestine are described in a letter received here from priest. The letter, written shortly before the fall of Jerusalem, tells of a day early in November when a camel convoy from BeerSheba was unable to reach the men then fighting for the de'iverance of the Holy City from the Turk.
 "There was a hot wind blowing" wrote the priest. "A tumbler full of water was left in my bottle which l divided between four officers whose lips were split and covered with green slime. That afternoon l had a burial service, and, literally 1 could not articulate without keeping my hand to my mouth and pulling my lower lip off my teeth, while bullets rom a concealed sniper whizzed past us. In the evening water came in, enough to give each one bottle-quite inadequate"

GREAT SUPPLY
 OF COAL TO BE
 MINED ON INLET

Alluring statements are glVen m a statement in recent San Francisco Examiner regarding the great coal folds at the head of Cook Inlet, free from ice the entire year." Gus Bor- cen received letter in the last mail from Neil s. French and the latter eu- closed the following clipping which makes interesting reading from more than one standpoint:
 "The United States government has opened up the Alaska coal fields. The first license to mine coal in Alaska reached san Francisco yesterday ana immediately the interpretations par . of the Chi,kaloon Coal Company were filed.
 "The Chickaloon Company is com posed of a number of wealthy local italian. Americans who have Subsc"ib- ed >l ,25O,OOO for thc purpose of bring ing coal from the NatanuSka fields to San Francisco.
 The president of t&e Company k NJ. J. Fontana and the vice-preSident A. L. Brzzclara. The coal fields were discovered, surveyed ant developed by Walter GompertS, who is now at Va tauuSka.
 "The receipt of the government h' cense to mine in Alaska means that an immense quantity of coal will be brought here and to Seattle by the company and the price Of fuel will gr down before the end of March, it Is claimed.
 "GomI ertS reported that there was a large field of coal close to the sur face and within stones throw Of tidewater. That there was long wharf already built out into deep wa ter and that the head of Cooks inlet is open from ice all the year around and protected absolutely from all gales so that shipments can be made at all times.

 NOT WANTED IN
 FRONT TRENCHES

LONDON, March IS. - American college athletes will find something to think about in this. A prominent Glasgow medical man who has just returned from a professional visit in the front in France says that profes- sional football players are not wanted in the trenches, and explains that this is so because their endurance is less than one third of that of the ordin- ary sold CT taken from the desk or the farm or the shop. He attributes this to the fact that they have been 50 long tuned" to the highest pitch to take part in the game. In addition, their nerves are so acute that they cannot stand gunfre, as can the or dinary man. The doctor says "It is like linking up a race horse with an artillery team"

WEALTHY MAN
 OF WISCONSIN
 PASSES AWAY
MARINETTE, Wis, Ms rch Is. - Isaac Stephenson, former United States Senator of this state, died sud denly this forenoon at his home here, at the age of S9 years.

Aside from the fact that Isaac Step henson, during his service as United States Senator, enjoyed the distinction of being the oldest, as we'll as the wealthiest Senator ir the upper house of Congress, he ranked as one of the greatest producing lumbermen in the nation. The principal scene of his operations in the lumber industry was in North Michigan, that section owing a large part of it's development in the numbering and mining industries to his efforts. His properties in that section ale still among the largest holdings in the state, and his various industries there employ thousands of men.
 Born near Fredericton, New Bruns- wick, June IS, 1929, he spent his early youth on his fathers farm and in working in the lumber woods. He had practically no schooling. At sixteer, he left home and went to Milwaukee. He found employment with the Wells Lumber Company and was associated Tith Daniel Wells Jr., for many years. In 1857 he became an operator of lumber camps in his own interests.
 His early political career included two terms in the Wisconsin legiSla- ture, and three terms in Congress.
 In May, 1907, he was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Senator John c. Spoonel, resigned, and was elected to succeed himself, in 1909. It was in connection with this election that the Wisconsin legislature, after |, lengthy investigation of the Sena- tors campaign, filed charges with ,he United States and asked an investi- gation into the election, alleging that money had been used to unduly in- 'luence votes. The Investigating com HlllISG "tllI llllO IllC luiIISI CAllduo- lively, and while they showed that Ir. Stephenson spent over S113,00C to be elected, no undue influence or graft was shown and he was retained in his seat by a vote of the Senate, 20 to 94.
 Senator Stephenson always remain cd a plain, unassuming man. His greatest pleasure each year wa 70 gather together a number of friends who enjoyed the outdoor hte and trough it" at an old lumber camn on his properties above Escanaba, Mich.
 Senator Stephenson owned the Bon :ta, one of the finest steam yachts on the Great Lakes. He seldom found time to enjoy the craft bIt he found great pleasure in loaning it to ole friends, soldiers associations, lodges and similar organizations of his towns people.
