The real work in the fire trench

other sits at his feet. ready to carry

as to his observations in No Mans
Land. The sentry is not allowed to
relax his watch for second. If he is
questioned from the trench or asked
his orders, he replies without turning
around or taking his eyes from the ex-

the trench for q rest.
While in front.line trench orders
forbid Tommy from removing his
boots, puttees. clothing or equipment.
The "cooties" take advantage Of this
order and mobilize their forces, and
Tommy swears vengeance on them and
nutters to himself, "Just wait until I
hit rest billets and am able to get my
own back"
Just before daylight the men turn

less enough to attempt to hold them by pointing
out the advantages, the reward of persistence
and faith in new country.
All those who are leaving Alaska today
know that all new countries have their draw
backs and when prosperity and climate COM
bined. as an attraction as they have now in the
states. those of us who can better ourselves by
leaving the new country, are foolish not to do
So
We take it that they know what they are
about If they don't at their age, they are
idiots and as such the sooner they leave the
better On the other hand, if they know what
they are about, what is the use of trying to hold
them here.
Incidentally, we may as well admit that
none of us would remain in Alaska if we thought
we had a chance to better our condition in the
states. Ambition brought all of us here Some
simply to make more money, others in addition,
craved for more elbow room, and still others for
adventures found only in wild country. In
other words we looked for opportunities we
could not find elsewhere. But when the time
comes that the same opportunities we looked for
here are to be had outside, we shall all go.
Those who are going now are only step ahead
of u.s. They have founder it maybe they only
think they have-what they wanted and they
are going after it. When we have reached the
same state of readiness, we shall follow; and
there you are Let them go by all means.

ALMOST INCREDIBLE.

Is it possible there are some German SOL
diers with spark of honor in their hearts; or
are they comouflagng? From what we have
heard of them, we cannot believe it possible; re-
ports to the contrary Notwithstanding.
A few days ago it was reported that when
a German prisoner was routed out from behind
a wall, he Immediately donned a Red Cross cap
and helped to carry in wounded American SOL
ders. While he was thus engaged, the report
says, German snipers shot at him. He appear
ed so provoked that he grabbed captured ma
chine gun and fired directly where he knew they
were lurking, dropping two from tree.
The incident may have occurred just as it
is reported but it is so unnatural; contrary to
their tendencies; their learning; their "kultur''
that many like us will refuse to believe it; and
we shall hope that before the Allies are through
with them they shall have learned their lesson
to be decent.

A SURE SIGN.

We almost gasped for breath the other day
when we learned George was here. 1t is true
that he is the Only George, yet that fact was not
the cause of our surprise. George only brought
down our surprise in the way of a sign of an
approaching election. How time flies! 1t
seems only last week we participated in poll
tical campaign. But of course it must be longer
than that, for George never mistakes it when
it has to do with such campaign. This trip
was evidently for the purpose of lining up the
forces. This would account for his unheralded
movement.
Our Attorney General has travelled extens-
lively the last few months, and while this travel
was presumably in the interest of the whole
territory. there are some who believe that it had
much to do with the coming campaign. Should
that prove to be the case, all we have to do is to
give George more rope and sure as anything,
he'll hang himself and his followers.
