SHORTAGE OF FISH
DELAYS The MAIL
Scarcity Causes CurtaiIment OF
Motive Power by Which
Mail Is Carried in Alaska.

Shortage of fish is interfering with
the mail in Alaska. On account Of
their scarcity, the motive power by
which the mail is carried in that cold
territory is curtailed. An abundance
of fish, according to a report to the
post office department, is essential TO
the prompt delivery across the region
of ice and snow, and a necessary sup
ply is not to be had.
The mail carrier out from Anchor
age, Alaska, wrote to the department
under the date of March %, 1918:
"Your letter of February 27, 1918,
is at hand, and 1 notice the late ar
rivals of mail as indicated in same,

USELESS MONEY IN BANKS
Have $4,000 They DO Not Know What
to Do With.

Battle Greek banks have $4,000 in
cash on hand they don't know what to
do with.
The money really belongs to several
thousands of men employed on Camp
Custer construction work who failed
to cash their checks. Porter Bros,
contractors, paid out checks weekly
and the government deposited cash TO
cover them. Hundreds of men left
camp daily with pay checks for small
amounts, and the sum of unclaimed
money grew all summer. Some Of the
checks uncashed amount to $50 or
more.
The government has no way to take
the money back. Porter Bros. have no
legal claim on the money. And the
bank can't get rid Of the money be-
cause there is still a possibility Of the
checks showing up.

NO RED CROSS FUNDS
FOR RESEARCH WORK
Opposition OF Members Is Cause
of Decision Made BY War
Council.

Criticism having been made of a
Red Cross appropriation for medical
research, including ~viviseetion, the
Red Cross war council at Washington
announces that no money will be used
for such purposes hereafter and such
money as has been used will be refund
ed to the Red Cross.
In reaching this decision not to use
Red Cross funds for research work,
the war council does not take sides
for or against vivisection, but In view
OF the large number of Red Cross
members who object to research work,
1t was deemed wise to eliminate such
expenditures.
The original appropriation for re-
search work was made last August
upon recommendation of army medical
officers OF high rank who were con-
fronted with new diseases developed
by war conditions and who thought
that experiments upon animals might
produce remedies. 1t was strictly an
emergency var appropriation.
When pronounced opposition to the
appropriation appeared, an individual
came forward with an offer to pay for
the research work out of his W re-
sources and also to reimburse the Red
Gross for past expenditures along this
line. so that all Red Cross funds will
be used for relief work as all mem
bers understand and approve 1t.
The sincere convictions of a consid-
cradle body of Red Cross members are
thus respected by the Red Cross with
out In any sense passing judgment
upon the wisdom of research work.

A few months ago an America sea-
man who was swimming in tropical
waters was attacked by a school Of
sharks and his leg was bitten of. The
fms Of four other sharks were visible
near by and 1t seemed certain that the
unfortunate sailor would soon be torn
to pieces. when Wallace Odell Prater.
machinist, dived into the blood
stained water and brought the wound
ed man safely to the ship. In recog-
milton of this rare act of bravery Pra-

army put Lafayette In command of
large bodies of men and that judgment
was well justified.
The marquis was severely wounded
at Brandywine without being aware Of
1t for time, SO intense was his devo-
ton to duty. When he recovered he
renewed his activities at the right hand
of General Washington, and lost no
opportunity to serve the nation which
was then coming into being. He was
with the great leader at Valley Forge,
where he conducted himself with such
sympathy and understanding that he
was soon as beloved by all the officers
as by the commander himself.
The portrait painters of the time put
the generals and colonels of the day
in fine uniforms of blue and buff, but
very often some of the ablest had only
nondescript clothes, and some were
even ragged.
Washington once remarked to La
fayette that to one accustomed to being
with French troops the appearance of
the soldiers Of the colonies must indeed
have seemed unusual.
II come not here to teach, but to
learn" was the reply Of Lafayette.
Enlisted Aid Of France.
Part of the year ITO was spent by
Lafayette in France, where he did SO
much to get substantial aid from the
French government, which was then
in actual war with Great Britain.
That victory ultimately rested upon
the American standards was largely
due to those activities In Paris, for the
coming of the French fleet was a de-
Gliding factor In the long and unequal
struggle for American Independence.
Lafayette was received with affec-
tion and admiration by those who had
SO bitterly opposed his going from
France. and he gained support even
from the powerful Noailles, father of
the Marquise. On Lafayette's return
to America Washington sent him in
1881 to operate against Benedict Ar.
mold In Virginia. After Cornwallis
came with $500 more men Washing
ton showed his confidence In the young
general by continuing him In the COM
mand. Lafayette was near Richmond
when Cornwallis started for him.

English general. Lafayette promptly

with q Hanoverian king who acted
against the counsel Of the wisest states
men of British birth. The instructive
love of fair play which is implanted In
the Englishman rebelled at the thought
of a colonial taxation without represen-
tation.
Lafayette's attitude to the English
was revealed when, while visiting his
uncle, the Marquis de Noailles, then
ambassador to the Court of st. James.
he declined all invitations to visit ar
senals and shipyards, believing that by
so doing he would be taking an unfair
advantage of nation which was to be
his foe through the stupidity of a rul-
er who could not and would not under.

His home in Paris after the close Of
the war of the revolution became a
place Of rendezvous for both English
and Americans.
"Since the war Is over and we have
won it," he wrote to General Wash
ington in 1856, II have, I confess, an
extreme pleasure in meeting English
people. Either as Frenchman. or a
soldier, or an American, or n mere In

There could have been no gentler
acts of courtesy than those which he
did when Cornwallis had surrendered
at Yorktown, for he had the highest
opinion of the British commander as
man, and, as he modestly wrote Corn
wallis, "held him in high esteem"
