HALF
 YEAR OF NIGHT
 IS ABOUT HERE

Firbanks. Alaska, Sept. 2S Cores pondence of The Associated Pres.)- Most of Alaska is about to enter it's long half-light winter semi-hiberna- tion when ice and snow lock almost everything in their grop with a wintry clamp.
 Already last steamboats making connections for the outside world are leaving the northern inland river towns. In short time, Alaska's big inland summer water highway, the Yukon River, will be sealed tight with seven months ice.
 Throughout the country prepara- tlons for the winter are being made. Supplies are being laid in, for prohibi- tive freight rates prevail on the stage lines which serve the country in the winter.
 Fairbanks, Nome, St. Michael, Ruby Eagle, Abchirage, Tanana, Nenana and Fort Yukon are the largest points in the section of Alaska locked by winter. Seward, Cordova, Valdez, Jun eau, Ketchikan, Wrangell and other southern points are on open water the year round This year Anchorage, for the first time will be in touch with the outside world by railroad, the government line from Seward having been completed short time ago.

BARRIER PIGEON BROT MESSAGE OF
 LARGE "ATTACK'

London, Oct. 6 Correspondence of Tho Associated Press. )]Wounded and with ait blood streaming from one of it's eves m a carrier pigeon fluttered to the oround in British aerodrome, al- most exhausted. The message it car r;ed was the one word Attacked"
 The bird was one of four which had heen taken out in two seaplanes on natrol duty in the North Sea. It was known that German patrol of at least six machines was in the vicinity. These had swooped down on the Brit sh flyers and, before help summoned by the pigeon could arrive, had quit the fight and flown away, in accord ance with the usual German air tao tics of not risking an engagement with equal forces.
 The pigeon, which has recovered from its wound, has been 'pensioned off" war service.
 There are numberous cases where messages carried by pigeons have re- suited in the rescue of occupants of wrecked seaplanes. In one, bird, at the cost of it's life brought message that saved six British airmen adrift in the North Sea. After delivering its message, the pigeon fell dead from eX- haustion. The wrecked airmen were on the point of death when recued having had no food and little water for days.

CATHOLIC PRIEST
 IS NOW A PRIVATE

Paris, Oct. 22.-To Rev. Father Gala Church, Chicago, has fallen the
 honor of being probably the first
 CathDlic priest from the UnAted States to serve in the ranks of the allies as private. The Rev. Father Eiskup is now Private Biskup of the Czecho-Slovak legion and has taken Eart tn several engagements wHh the Boche.
 When the United States entered the war the Rev. Father Biskup tried to enlist in the United States army as a regular chaplain and when he failed in that effort he enrolled as vol unteer with the Knights of Colum- bus and landed in France as a volun- teer chaplain. As his parents are of Czech nativity, although Ameri- can citizens, he tried to get into the Czecho-Slovak legion here but found he could not do so as a Knights of Columbus chaplain because the Czechs are serving as part of the French forces He obtained permission from the Knights to enlist in the Czech legion and at once did so.
 Private Biskup, when he visited the headquarters of the Knights of Col umbus in this city the other day to obtain supplies for the men of his regiment, told of the joy with which the Czecho -Slovaks received the news that the United States had recognized their independence Ut gave those men new spirit. I have been with them in several engage ments and they have proved Zine fighters, but they are going to be even better now, for they gre fight ing for something very dear to all men of the Czech race" he said.
