Down Copper River

On the morning of September g the party re-embarked for their trip down Copper river. The voyage to Copper Center, about fifty miles down the river, was made without incident. the waters of Copper river being far less turbulent in it's upper stretches than the Chistochina. The voyage was suf- ficiently exciting, however. to cause one of the party, who had a poke of gold amounting to about $400O, to abandon the voyage at this point and make his way overland to Valdez. While the party was at Copper Gen. ter two other miners who had been at Slate creek during the summer came down the Copper on a raft, and joined the party for the remainder of the voyage down the river, together with Ginger" a water spaniel belong ing to one of them. T8he party was still further augmented by the addi- tiOn of a musher who had been shot and painfully wounded by a native youth in a fieshy part of the anatomy. which made walking burdensome

 This party taxed the capacity of the boat to the utmost, but they started out on the morning of September 10 for the last stage of the journey down the lower Copper. They made the voyage to the mouth of the Tonsina that night, and the next morning started on, stopping at the Indian vii. lage of Taral. Here Hanuagita, chief of the Taral tribe, warned the voy. agers against continuing their jour. ney, as the Chitina river was running bank full and pouring a torrent of muddy water into the Copper, render ing the river unusually turbulent. En- 1 boldened by their good fortune thus far, they paid no attentio nto the warn ing of the chief, and pursued their voyage down stream by easy stages.
 They stopped at the Bremner and spent a day goat hunting, after hay ing successfully negotiated the rough water of Wood canyon.
 Reached Head of Rapids
 On the evening of September 13 the party reached the head of the rapids. Here they camped for the night, and the next morning they started to line their boat through these dangerous waters. They had made but little more than half mile when the boat was swung by the swift current against a huge boulder and com menced to fill and capsize. One of the party. who had a poke with sev- eral thousand dollars in it, tied to one of the seats, jumped into the stream and, reaching the boat, cut the string which held the poke and threw it to shore, narrowly escaping with his life. Grub, blankets, clothing and pokes with several hundred dollars in them were washed away and went on down

MORALE
IMPORTANT NOW
Silent Endurance Is Necessary
Until Facts of Defeat in Field
Are Absorbed by Ger
man People.
BY J.. w. T. MASON.
Written for the United Press, ,


New York, April 2.-The initiative
along the new western battle front has
now almost wholly returned to the al.
lies with the Germans fighting prac.
tically everywhere on the defensive.
This does not necessarily mean Gem
counter offensive into immediate
operation. A policy Of caution may
suit present requirements better than a
hasty retaliation against o linden
burg's CHASTITY slaughter of Germany's
W man power.
The movement Of American troops
from the Lorraine front to western
France, does not yet suggest the allies
have decided to risk the outcome of the
war to the test of n new s~uper-combat
in Picardy. Present Indications suggest
that the American troops involved in
the transfer are limited in number and
their appearance side by sid with the
irene and British will be largely for
morale effect.
The matter Of morale among civil.
ians at home has now become a vital
element in the war. More than ever
before, the allies must prepare for
silent endurance. while waiting for the
reaction in Germany to the gigantic
casualties OF the last few days. The
next phase of the western combat may
not consist Of field engagements at all
1t may be the renewal Of dissent in
the central empires over the realization
that the sacrifices to the HohenZallerD
Moloch have not ended the war.
The German sweep over the terri.
tory voluntarily abandoned by Won
Hindenburg a year ago, will have done
no more than to make that area a Ger
man cemetery, if the morale of the
allies holds firm. There can be no
major strategic results from the Ger
man success so long as the wal on
tinues. 1t is for the allies, by their
steadfastness, to press upon the Ger
man people a realization Of this fact
Thereafter the house of HohenZollern
will become to the German people the
house of blood.

Ion in the fighting area has not been
disclosed. They are seasoned troops
and are reported as anxious to get into
the fight.
The war department, In its weekly
war review, declared American troops
are relieving veteran French forces by
taking over more Of the line to the
south of the German offensive front,
so the French may join Petain's men
opposing the drive. This was de-
scribed by staff correspondents several
days ago.
But the war department added such
OF our troops as have received suffi-

French and, in so far as they are able,
will assume a share Of the great burden
now so valiantly borne by the French
and British armies" This is the only

enter the big battle, other than that OF
