THE NEW DRAFT TREATY
GREAT BRITAIN AND us.
ONLY SHORT TIME LEFT FOR ALL
BRlTISH.BORN MEN TO
VOLUNTEER.

The details of the draft convention
between Great Britain and the Unit
ed States, which was signed on Feb
ruary 10, have been received at the
British Canadian recruiting mission,
Spokane. Three classes are included
(a) Men between Fl and 80 inclusive,
who have taken out their papers, (b)
Men between Fl and 80 inclusive who
have not taken out their first papers.
(c) Men between 20 and Fl and be-
tween 81 and 40 inclusive, whether or
not they have taken out first papers.
Skilled Men Wanted.
After ratification of this treaty in
London, which is expected at any
time, a period of from 30 to 60 days
will be allowed Britishers and Cana
dams to enlist voluntarily through
the British-Canadian recruiting mis-
sion for service in the British or the
Canadian forces or in the u S. army.
President Wilson will appoint a day
for the registration of men in class
&C." who will then be made subject
to American draft. Every effort will
be made to induce these men to enlist
voluntarily without waiting for the
draft To this end many skilled
branches of the Canadian forces have
been opened for enlistment, artillery.
cavalry, engineers, skilled railway
employees and railway construction.
The British Canadian recruiting
mission at Spokane will answer all in
quiries in regard to the draft and ar
range for transportation of men who
wish to volunteer.

NEW USE OF TELEPHONE.
Used in Military Hospitals to Locate
Bullets Deeply Embedded.

The telephone is now beng used In
military hospitals to complete the
work of the X-ray in locating bullets
and shell fragments deeply imbedded
In the flesh Of wounded soldiers. The
body of the patient furnishes the
magnetic current for the operation.
The apparatus consists Of head
piece with two receivers which fit
over the surgeons ears One of the
wires leading from the receivers ter
inmates in a carbon electrode. the
other in a fine probing needle The
carbon is placed in the patients
mouth, and the needle gently inserted
in the flesh where the X-ray has
shown the fragment to be. The probe
touches bone, but no response comes
over the wire. 1t goes deeper and
brings up against a hard substance.
Instantly the surgeon hears
click His needle has touched frag-
ment of metal, completing the circuit
through the patients body. Slender

side of the probe and the foreign OBJ
ject removed.
A British surgeon, Sir James Nc
Kenzie Davidson. has devised pair Of
forceps which may be used as probe.
They are so insulated that the click
is heard only when the bullet or shell
fragment is grasped between their
jaws. He has also used the probing
needle in operations on the eye, where
the particle Of metal had penetrated
so deeply as to be invisible.
TIL idea is not new one, for an
unsuccessful attempt was made with
an electrical device to locate the bull
let which caused the death of Presi
dent Garfield. Alexander Graham
Bell, inventor of the telephone. after
ward produced an apparatus for use
in such cases.

COPPER RIVER BASIN.
Greeks Continue to Yield Big Pay in

| Alaska continues to be a good pay
ing investment for Uncle Sam. it's
mineral output in 1917 having been
more than $41,O00,0O0, and. according
to the U. S. geological survey, al
though the production of gold was
somewhat reduced the interest ins the
gold placers Is still keen. Among the
rich placer deposits are those of VAL
dee creek. which have yielded gold
valued at s375,000. Gold has been
found in it's bedrock source in the
slate area south of Valdez creek and
Is present in some Of the stream grav-
ell deposits within that area Most of
the placer gold from this district,
however, has come from an old gravel
filed channel or canyon once occupied
by Valdez creek and from the stream
gravels of that part Of the present
channel Of the creek which lies below
the point where the old and new
channels intersect The gold in the
new channel is in large part recon
centration from the rich auriferous
filling Of the old canyon. The old
channel and the three or four creek
claims below 1t on the present stream
constitute an excellent example Of the
Importance Of Recommendation in the
production Of rich gold placers.
Slate creek is rs miles east of VAL
deg creek 1t Is the site of an older
camp than Valdez creek, and with it's
tributary, Miller gulch, has been the
greatest producer Of placer gold with
in the Copper River basin, having
yielded more than one and three
quarter million dollars. Diorite in
trusive rocks are present and in this
respect the deposits resemble those of
Valdez creek. 1t is believed. how
ever, that the slate of Valdez creek is
although diorite intrusives
are probably Of the same or nearly the
same age.

Friendly Warning.
tCamp Custer Bulletinl


General Penn OF Camp Custer was
passing directly in front OF a recruit
whose education had not so far pro-
crossed that he considered II a breach
of military regulations to sit uncon-
cernedly on an empty box and pull at
a cigarette while an officer was pass
ing by. He did not "bawl out the re-
cruit. The general went few PAGES
ahead and then returned to where the
recruit was sitting and in tone OF
friendly interest required
my boy, do you know that you are
supposed to stand at attention and
salute officers who pas by"
The boy replied that he did, but
hadn't noticed any officers.
"Well," said General Penn, II am
nothing but a mere general, my boy,
but one Of these days some second
lieutenant is going to come along here
and reprimand you severely for your
lack of observation"

UNCLE SAM NEGLECT|NG
.CAM0UFLAGE SERVICE
ART BEING PRAcTICED ON PUB
Lie BY PUBLICITY CON-
MISSIONER.

1t is reported that considerable dis
satisfaction exists among members of
the camouflage unit of the army be-
cause they are not receiving any in
struction in this very important phase
of modern warfare. According to
some of them who are in training in
camp somewhere in the District Of
Columbia, about all they do is to pose
for photographers working under the
Creel bureau. or private enterprise
One young soldier, whom to mention
would insure his incarceration in the
countrywide reputation. He enlisted
in another branch of the service, and
believing his ability would be more
useful to the army as a camoufleur,
he effected a transfer to that branch.
Since his assignment to duty in the
camouflage unit, he declares, his or
ganization has had practically no in
struction in the art. The officers APP
pear to be entirely Ignorant of the
work, though willing and anxious to
receive training which they may con-
vey to their men. Day follows day in
the ordinary routine of camp life. but
in the art of masking batteries,
screening outposts and concealing
roads nothing is forthcoming. An
other soldier declared that the only
example of camouflage which had
been exhibited to him was that being
practieed on the American public by
the official bulletin and the Creel
movie screen, which had nothing to
do with field tactics.
Importance Of Work.
1t is sincerely TO be hoped that the
war department will speedily awake
to the Importance of trained camou-
fleurs in the American army. Among
the allies large emphasis is placed on
the training Of men for this service,
and every command has men assigned
to it skilled in fooling the enemy with
regard to positions or movements 1t
has become highly recognized
branch of the fighting forces abroad,
and we alone are laggards in this
work. We have borrowed guns and
uniforms from Great Britain and
France 1t would be something of an
imposition to usbtract from their
camouflage service to help us along.
But We could very well secure the SER
vices of highly trained camoufleurs
now at the front to come and instruct
our units in the work, just as we are
calling on British and French experts
to instruct us in the use of the rapid
fire guns, aviation, barrage and mop
ping up. 1t is said that the first or
ganizers in this country of the camou-
flage unit were sent abroad in Deem
Der. since which time nothing has been
heard Of them and nothing has been
done to perfect the service here.

The effect of good and stable price

BOILING WATER.
Degrees Of Heat Vary With Atno.
spheric Pressure.

(Brooklyn Eagle)
The temperature of boiling water
may be varied by circumstances
What we call boiling Is the passage to
the surface Of the vapor which forms
at the bottom Of the vessel when 1t is
heated. The upward passage Of the
vapor through the water causes n
commotion of bubbling which we call
boiling. But this condition does not
always indicate the same degree of
heat. Water with common salt in II
requires more heat to make it boil
than pure fresh water because the salt
retards the rising of the vapor. The
pressure Of the atmosphere affects the
boiling point At sea level the boil
ing point is 212 degrees. but at a
distance above the sea
level 1t is less. and a distance below
the sea levelN is more than 212 de-
grees. At the City of Mexico, 1850
feet above sea level water boils at 1873
degrees Of heat at Quito, 9541 feet In
1t boils at 1914 degrees and in
the Himalayas at height Of $4,000
feet. it boils at 1870 degrees. or so de-
grees less than at sea level. 1t would
be difficult to make water boil at the
bottom of shaft several miles deep.
In elevated places many substances
IAN not be cooked by boiling; water
viii boil and bubble at a heat not suf-
icient to cook them.

Writer Pleads
For More Nurses

Mrs. Mary Roberts Rinehart, the
noted writer, who has become a Red
Cross nurse, addressed this note to
her sister nurses, on the eve of her
entrance into service. The note fol-
lows:
do not miss this greatest oppor-
tunity Of your life. AS time goes
by every woman in training who has
gone to- the front will realize this.
Those who have stayed at home will
realize it more keeuly and with q
lasting regret and rernorse. If you
could all have seen the nurses Of
France and England as I did at wars
beginning-their splendid bravery
and sacrifice-you would understand
just what this war Is going to mean
to you.
ut is the fruition of all years Of
service. AS war is for men the
Great Adventure, for you it is the
Great Call. There is no sacrifice too
great, no discomfort too severe, no
risk. too perilous for the woman who
can ease a wounded boy, help him
to return to his country's service, or
take the place of a mother, when,
his work done. he faces alone in
a strange land the end OF his young
life"
