e. S. Cruiser Sunk.

New York, July 19.-German sub
marines appear to have renewed op-
esations off the American coast. The
United States armored cruiser San
Diego was sunk not far from the en-
trance of New York Harbor today.
Circumstantial reports reaching
here indicate thatrshe was torpedoed'
There was also reports tonight, al
though not confirmed, that other
ships had been attacked, one being de-
scribed as coastwise passenger ship.
Whether there had been toll OF
lives taken on the San Diego was
not known up to the late evening
hours. Not more than 335 had been
accounted for out of crew Of 1,444
men aboard the warship, Of which
some 800 reached New York on a
tank steamship at 10 o'clock tonight.
Thirty-two, lieutenant, an ensign
and thirty sailors were landed in life
boats this afternoon on the Long
Island shore.

Young Roosevelt Dead.

Paris, July 17.-Lieut. Quentin
Roosevelt, youngest son of the form
er president, has been killed in an
airplane fight, the semi-oficial Havas
Agency announces. His machine fell
in the enemy lines.
Lieutenant Roosevelt was last seen
in combat on Sunday morning with
two enemy airplanes about ten miles
inside the German lines in the Cha
teau Thierry sector. He started out
with patrol of 13 American ma
chimes. They encountered seven Ger
mans and were chasing them back
when two of them turned on Lieut.
enant Roosevelt.
Reports of the fight state that the
Germans appeared to be shooting at
the lieutenant from the rear, the
three machines being close together.
Then one of the machines was seen
tumbling through the clouds and a
patrol which went in search of Lieu
tenant Roosevelt returned without
a trace of him. He appeared to be
fighting up to the last moment. One
account of the combat states that the
machine caught fire before it began
to fall.

Pershing is a Soldier, Not a Liar.

Statements of German cruelties at
tributed by st. Louis newspaper to
an unnamed sergeant of the Ameri-
can expeditionary forces, sent to the
United States to assist in the third
Liberty loan, are denied by General
Pershing in a cablegram made public
last week by the war department at
Washington.
General Pershing recommended
that if the sergeant was quoted cor
rectly, he be returned Immediately
to France for active duty.
The statements attributed to the
sergeant were quoted in General Per-
shing's cablegram as follows:
"The Germans give poisoned
candy to the children to eat and
hand grenades for them to play with.
They show glee at the children's dy-
ing writings and laugh aloud when
the grenades explode. I saw one
American boy, about II years old,
who had been captured by the Ger
mans, come back to our trenches.
He had cotton in and about his ears.
'sI asked some one what the cotton
was for.
"'The Germans cut off his ears
and sent him back to tell us they
want to fight men, was the answer.
"They fed Americans tuberculosis
germs
"There is no foundation whatever
for such statements based on any
experiences we have had" Gen. Per-
shing said

Army Declares War on Flies.

Special attention is being given by
the medical department of the army
in all camps to cleaning up spots
where mosquitoes and flies breed. In
some cases it has been necessary to
dig channels in streams, drain
swamps, and put in elaborate ditch
ing systems to clean up stagnant
pools and streams. In cases where
it has been impossible or impracticable
to drain swamps and to do similar
work, there has been installed a sys-
tenn for keeping slow moving streams
and still bodies of water covered
with oil. At all points within the
camp where there is the slightest pos
sibility of mosquitoes or flies breed
ing daily spraying of oil is done.
Arrangements have been completed
with the Federal Public Health Ser
vice to carry out similar program
in the territories adjacent to the
camps. The health service has agreed
to fill bogs, open streams, and drain
swamps, and continue the oil spray
ing for a distance of one mile around
each camp.
Special precautions have been TAX
en- to prevent the spread of disease
by flies. Instructions were given on
the disposal of materials that were
likely to become breeding spots. Ar
rangements were made to protect all
food from flies. With this end in
view, all buildings in which food is
prepared or stored were screened.
Entrances to the buildings have been
vestibuled. An average of 5000 fly
traps have been placed in each camp.
More than 22,7OO,OoO square feet of
screening have been placed in all
camps.

DOCTORS CALLED.
Government Will Take Charge Of
Physicians.-Medical Men Needed.

Washington, July 18.-The govern
ment is about to assume control OF
the entire medical profession in the
United States to obtain sufficient doc
tors for the fast growing army, and
at the same time to distribute those
remaining to the localities or in serv-
ices where they are most needed fol
civilian work.
This mobilization is to be accom-
plished either by enrolling all doc
tors in a volunteer service corps un-
der pledge to accept whatever serv-
ice, military or civilian, is assigned
them by the governing body of the
corps or if the voluntary plan is not
successful by legislation providing
for drafting them into government
service. Medical officers of the gov
ernment believe compulsory conscrip'
tion will not be necessary.

STAR SHELL FRIGHT.
Effect Upon Mems Nerves When
These Shells Burst.

There are occasions when star
shells used for Illuminating No Mans
Land will give a soldier bigger
fright than the explosion of big
Bertha" or Jack Johnson" Corp.
H. .Burbach, a telephone lineman
expert, and among the first men in
the United States army to reach the
front trenches in France, tells about
this sort of fright in the May Forum.
"The telephone SYSTEM he says,
"was demolished in our sector by rifle
fire. Tonight the officer told me,
you and 1 will crawl out on our bel
lies and find that broken wire. Then
we will fix it, and unless they find us
with a shell, we'll crawl back
"The prospect was exciting and l
waited anxiously for night. Then,
armed with the necessary tools, we
started to crawl along the shallow
trench containing the wires. We had
no light, we could not stand upright.
We went about a half mile, feeling
every inch of wire for the break, and
then suddenly l ran my hand along
the wire and suddenly came to a
point. We had found the break.
"I've got it," l called in my best
whisper, but before I could receive a
reply there was a noise from the
German trenches.
Star shell, star SHE'LL my French
companion called excitedly.
"Suddenly the shell burst above us,
and it was more brilliant than day.
Frightened! Say, that light is so
great; and the knowledge that if the
Germans spot you you're a goner,
makes you just lie there and forget
to breathe. 1t does not take many
seconds for star shell to die away
to a glow, but in those seconds you
go right through life and back to the
present. When the light was gone l
lay there fairly painting for breath" "

Flow Into France of Americans.

With the American Army in Eng
land.-America's increased flow OF
troops into France has brought to
the British public a realization of the
MAGNITUDE of the movement. The
ccmings and goings of force after
force have impressed the residents
of England with the might of their
new ally as nothing else has.
Since the first day of May the
growing volume has been apparent.
Wave after wave Of American troops
has moved from the ports of arrival
through the country to rest camps
and from them on to the ports of
embarkation with only enough pause
to get the sea wobble out of the mems
legs.
The number of rest camps-the
name that has come to be applied to
what really are concentration camps
has been increased, and British
traffic men are finding themselves
heavily taxed to maintain uninter-
rupted the shuttle of shipping be-
tween England and France. The
British are doing that part of the
work and American officers have been
high in their praise of the efficiency
displayed.
Americans are in command of the
men when they land and are respon-
sible for them in the temporary
camps up to the point of going to the
piers where ships are waiting to car
ry them to France, but the trans
portation both across the country
and overseas is in the hands of men
who have been moving the British
millions since 1914.
It is at rest camps that the Ameri-
can soldier gets his first real stop in
the voyage he began at an American
port. At the port of debarkation he
is given scarcely pause and no op-
portunity whatever to look around.
From the ship that brought him ever
he is marched directly to waiting
train. Then the journey to camp is
begun. But the trains are fast and
the country is small so the journey
never is long.
When the train stops there is a
march usually for two or three miles
but in some cases the columns move
on foot for ten or twelve miles be-
fore the camp is reached. To the
Britisher who sees passing every day
the thousands of men the sight is
impressive.
In London, at General Biddle's
headquarters, statistical officers and
officers of the quartermaster corps
continuously go over tables of figures
that vary only as the size of conveys
vary and direct the distribution of
each new lot of arrivals, and eventu-
ally their reshipment to France.

KOLA.
Russian Port Where Great Quanti-
ties of Supplies Are.

Kola, the Russian Arctic port,
where American, British and French
marines are reported to have landed
recently in order to protect NUM-
tions and provisions originally in
tended for the Russian government,
is the subject of the following war
geography bulletin issued by the Ma
tional Geographic society from its
Washington headquarters:
Before the world war made every
Russian fishing village on the Arctic
ocean a potential city, the town OF
Kola, situated at the junction of the
Kola and Tuloma rivers, had only
about 900 inhabitants. Prior to the
collapse of all organized government
in Russia, however, it had become a
place of great Importance because OF
the fact that it's harbor is relatively
free from ice all the year, thanks to
| it's location on the Murman coast,
! which is tempered by the North At
| lantic drift.
"Kola is about 25 miles south OF
Alexandrovsk, the Russian. naval
base established 19 years ago five
miles from the mouth of Kola bay.
''In peace times the chief occupa-
tion of the people of Kola is fishing
which is proftably followed by the
| natives from May to August.
"Kola is we'll within the Arctic Cir
Gle, being in latitude 63 degrees, SO
minutes. It is 325 miles northwest
of Archangel, the great White sea
port of Russia.
"The peninsula of Kola constitutes
the major part of what is known as
Russian Lapland. 1t is bounded on
the north by the Arctic ocean and on
the south by the White sea. Its area
EQUALS that of the state of New York
and is largely a plateau having an
average elevation of 1000 feet. The
Arctic shore, extending distance OF
260 miles, is known as the Murman
coast "a corruption of "Norman'). 1t
presents a rugged appearance, with
cliffs rising abruptly from the sea to
a height of nearly 700 feet in many
places. There are several indenta-
tions, however, where excellent an
chorage may be found, and one OF
these breaks in the granite line Is
Kola bay.
"The Kola .peninsular is especially
rich in it's timber resources. Great
forests of pine, birch, fir and spruce
are to be found.
"The month of July in this region
is usually quite warm, and the.crops
mature rapidly, the time of harvest
being August, which is also the rainy
month. Winter settles down over the
peninsular in November.
"The Kola and the Tuloma are two
of the many rivers which flow into
the Arctic; there are also seVera
large streams which drain the south
ern half of the peninsular and foW
into the White sea-

PLATOON FOUR
 BEST DRILLED:
 SPLENDID TIME

Before one of the largest crowds that ever assembled at a social func- tion in Fairbanks was held the com. petitive drill and military ball of the Home Guard at the Auditorium last night. Owing to the absence of one of the judges, Dr. M. F. Hall was selected to act as the third judge, in conjunction with Ed Wolcott and Thomas Marquam.
 The chief attraction of the even, ing was the competitive drill be- tween four platoons of the Home Guard. So close was the choice of the judges that it was necessary for platoons one and four to engage in a five-minute extra drill before a de. cision could be reached. The final choice was in favor of "Rickert's Rockies" Although organized but a short time, they went through their movements like veterans, and with the Strauss" uniforms made good
 
 impression on the spectators.
 The presentation of the beautiful silk American Flag to the winning platoon was made by Rev. H. H. Lumpkin, who made one of the most stirring addresses ever heard in Fairbanks. At the conclusion of the address the entire gathering joined in singing "The Star Spangled Ban ner" with rousing vim.
 An added attraction was the drill in the manual of arms under the di rection of Assistant Drillmaster My erson. This was an excellent flea. ture and we'll applauded.
 Good music and an excellent floor made the evening pass pleasantly and not one of those attending had other words to say except that the evening was one of the most enjoy able ever spent. Refreshments were served.
 While it is not possible at this time to state what the receipts were there will be enough to purchase sufficient yarn for many sweateis and socks for the boys over there.

As fighters the Huns will not mix it when things are even, but are will ing to give the cry of conciliation- Kamerad. All of the Canadians are eager to return to the front.
 MT. Heney recites an. occurrence that came under his observation while he was in Chicago. A newly recruited soldier of large physique was eating in restaurant when a crowd of rough fellows started to make disparaging remarks about the uniform of the United States. This so aroused the ire of the recruit that he mixed at once. Upsetting a table, he broks off a leg and used it with good effect. Eight of the rowdies were taken to the hospital, and the only action taken toward the sol dier was his detention for four days to see if any serious results came of the ruction.
 On the home trip MT. Heney paid a visit to Texas and the several aviation camps. The one at Houston is the largest of them all. The crops of this state are expected to be the largest in its history.

 WAS BADLY CUT

Writing to friends from Inkerman Pa., Thomas F. German, who was at one time employed as foreman by Ross & Wilson on 10 below Cleary, states that during his resi-. dence Outside he was compiled to undergo an operation at a hospital in Philadelphia.
 The operation was necessitated by stomach trouble, and when finished left him in somewhat minus con- dition. All the doctors did was to remove half of his stomach and about five inches of his intestines. For some time he was in a greatly weakened condition, but his recovery was rapid, and now he is feeling as good as he ever did.
