ENGINEER
 IN WAR WORK NOW
Popular Chief Engineer of the River Boats Is Now Working For
 Uncle Sam.

Writing from San Francisco under date of July II, Tom Fitzgerald, we'll and favorably known in the North country and who for many years had been chief engineer on several of the river steamers plying on the waters of the mighty Yukon and her tributaries, states that he l.; now at the Bethlehem Shipbuild:ng Co.,, at San Francisco, doing his bit toward helping to lick old Kaiser Bill.
 Fitz says that the work in the Bethlehem plant is being speeded up to the top notch and that things are humming all the time at the big shipbuilding yards. Additions are being made to the naval forces of the country almost every day and everybody is busy.
 Frisco is said to be booming with very good wages prevailing for the work done.
 He speaks of having met Jim Dethlefsen, who will be remembered by many Nenanaites. Jim had the misfortune to freeze his hands while engaged in putting out a fire 1 in one of the Commission cottages and lost all the fingers of both hands as the result of the freezing. He is now running a stationery store but is not doing very we'll. Fitz thinks that he would have done much better in the cigar trade, which he intended going into first.
 Jim is trying to get back North again in the employ of the A. E. c. and has made application through Governor Riggs, who knows all the circumstances in connection with the accident which befell Jim.
 Perhaps the first Alaska woman to engage actively in the catching of fish in Alaska is Dora Davis, of Seward, who has purchased half interest in the boat Dewey and will sail on her to the fishing banks.

SEWARD FAVORED FOR COAL DEPOT
 FOR J. 5. NAVY
Seward to Be Coal Depot for the American Navy, Mining to Be
 Undertaken Soon.

SEATTLE.-A special despatch to the Seattle Post Intelligencer says that Secretary of the Interior Lane is now negotiating with Sec retary of the Navy Daniels whereby the department of the interior, through the Bureau of Mines, may superintend the expenditure of a million dollar appropriation contain ed in the naval appropriation bill, for the purpose of mining Alaska coal for the use of the United States navy.
 It is expected that in the event of a rejection of the proposal by Secretary Daniels, the Naval Buread of Supplies and Accounts will create an organization to produce the coal for the use of the navy.
 Both the department of the in- terior and the navy department in- dicated that the coal depot will be at Seward.

BISHOP DECLINES
 A|RP[ANE OFFER

LONDON.-A wealthy business man offered to contribute sum of money large enough to supply one of the missionary bishops of the Church of England with an air. plane. ''I believe this would en- able the bishop to visit the outlying parts of his diocese with much great CT ease than at present." said the writer.
 The British Society for the Pro- gation of the Gospel in making ac- Acknowledgement of the offer, says that while it cannot at present ac- cept the gift, it has no doubt that within few years similar offers will be accepted, and in this way some of our bishops who are in charge of large and scattered dio- ceses, will be enabled to multiply their activities"

GEODET|C SURVEY
 WORKS IN NENANA
Officer of the Coast and Geodetie Survey Takes Observations At
 Nenana.

Mir. J. W. Green, of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, who arrived in Nenana on the steamer Panama yesterday morning, took a series of observations on the Park reserve yesterday and will repeat them to- day. The spot from which the ob- servations were taken will be marked permanently, so that similar observa- tions can be taken later on and the annual changes noted.
 The observations were made for the purpose of determining the Ali muth for compass corrections and also to get the intensity of the earth's magnetism and the magnetic dip. Solar observations are taken between and 10 a. m., and be- tween ? and p. m. -..
 MT. Green, who is attached to the observatory of the Coast and Geo. detic Survey at Sitka, came in by way of Skagway and took observa- tions at Eagle, Circle, Fort Yukon, Rampant and Panama, from which place he went down the Yukon as far as Holy Cross, taking observa- tions at Kokrines, Nulato and Holy Cross. Coming up the Panama river observations were taken at Hot Springs, and MT. Green intends to take some at Fairbanks, for which place he expects to leave on Satur- day. --
 MT. Green visited the Interior ten years ago, and thinks that the town and settlements are now much quieter than they used to be on his previous visit. The coast towns are booming, MT. Green says, lately, owing to the fisheries. There are now two canneries at Sitka, both of them being estab- lished during the past two years, and they are said to be doing very well.
 MT. Green is on his way to head quarters, at Washington, D. C., and does not know when he will return to Alaska again. .

GOOD LUNGS IS REQUIREMENT IN
 AERIAL SERVICE

LONDON.-Good lungs are the most important requiremnt of an airmen, declared Major Martin Flack, head of the Air Ministry's Medical Keen sight, good hear ing, and good hands, are all import ant to an air pilot" he said, but the most important thing of all is lungs. The successful pilot is gen orally deep breather, who can take in more oxygen than the ordinary man and is able to hold his breath longer. He is thus able to with stand the strain of an atmosphere where oxygen is getting rare"
 Asked whether there was such a thing as the flying temperament" Major Flack said: "Yes. think there is, and it will to a certain ex- tent, overcome physical disability One of the most famous British air men is a man of diminutive stature, who had considerable difficulty in passing the ordinary physcal tests" !"
 Constantly repeated medical ex- aminations of airmen are required in the British service, he said. "Our medical officers," he explained, "are expected to look upon the pilots under their charge as human ma chimes, to say whether they are fit to take the air, and to take steps constantly to keep them up to top form and to remove the causes of mental or physical distress.
 We keep insisting on hardening exercises, for there is no doubt that a man so hardened, sitting in light clothing, uses much less oxygen than one who has not undergone these hardening exercises. Careful watch ing is necessary over what the air man eats, drinks and smokes, and we attach the highest importance to providing the men with mental dis traction. One of the best forms of mental distraction for airmen ap- pears to be gardening"

SPY PROOF

To prevent the possibility of val uable information getting into Ger many, the American Red Cross, in sending letters behind the enemy lines at the request of persons in this country, is following carefully a plan worked out by the state de- partment to do away with code.
 Americans, Germans, or others in the United States wishing to com municate with relatives in Germany must now write out their messages in Red Cross chapters throughout the country. These are sent through the division offices of the organi- zation to national headquarters. Here they are rewritten and the wording absolutely changed to pre- vent the sending of any diagram or secret code. The messages are then given to the censorship board and are passed or refused by them. as the case may be. When they reach neutral country they arc translated on other paper and in most cases delivered by the Red Cross of the place to which they go. The plan is considered as spy proof as it is possible to devise
 Some folks might not like the politics of Theodore Roosevelt; others might not like some of his personal characteristics, but every good American, says the Douglas Island News, likes his straight -from-the- shoulder stand on the matter of the war and the way that his boys have acquitted themselves. The sym pathy of the whole country is his in the loss of one son and the wounding of another one.

DANIELS AND HIS WORK

retary of the Navy Daniels, in an address delivered in New York on the Fourth of July, "I had the pleasure of officially announcing that all the units of the first con- voy of American transports had safely landed their precious cargocs in France, in spite of submarine at tempts at sinking. That news cheer ed the people of the whole country because the boasts of the Germans at that period when the sinking of ships by submarines was at is height had alarmed many mothers and fathers. When the vigilant and valorous destroyers, however, as a protecting mother over the ships carrying our first soldiers of liberty to return the call of Lafayette had landed these brave youths in safety, there was a sigh of relief and a prayer of thanksgiving, a patriotic Fourth of July, rejoicing, and short of praise for the men of the Ameri- can navy, whose protection gave fresh confidence in the ability of the navy of our day to live up to its best traditions. So impressed was congress and the country by this initial success of naval conveys that soon thereafter congress voted the money to build as many destroyers as facilities could be provided for their construction. And we are building them in large numbers more rapidly than such craft were ever completed.
 "The recent enemy submarine ac- tivities off our coast resulted in the the loss of 25,411 gross tons of American shipping. During this same time 13O,OO0 deadweight tons of shipping were built.
 'To give some idea of the ton, mage situation with reference to American shipping, it may be of in terest to know that the total ton mage of American vessels lost priol to the entry of the United States into the war was 67,S15. The tota American tonnage sunk since the entry of the United States into the war is 294,4OS; or a total of 352,. 223 tons sunk during the whole period of the European war. A: against this loss, the gross tonnage of merchant ships built in the United States since the commencement o1 the European war is 2,722,563 tons 1,736,664 gross tons of which have been built since the entry of the United States into the war. In ad dition to the tonnage thus built 650,000 tons of German shipping have been taken over This does no include the tonnage acquired of th' Dutch, Japanese, and tther vessels It will be of further interest to knov that today there will be launched in the great shipyards of this coun try over 100000 deadweight tons These figures are in addition to tkos previously given.
 "Since last Independence Day
 million men have been transporte to Europe. Despite the constan threat of enemy submarines, comin almost to our very shores in thei murderous hate, not one America transport bound for France has bee sunk, and not one soldier has bee lost by enemy action. Only tw vessels carrying American troor abroad, the Tuscania and the Mo david, have been torpedoed. Tn President Lincoln and the Antille were sunk while returning; the Fiji land was torpedoed but reached pol under her own steam, and was r. paried and put back into service

TOOK TIME TO GREET BABY
President Wilson Not Too Busy to
Welcome Youthful Caller at the
White House.

President Wilson laid aside grave
war problems for a brief half hour
the other day to shake hands and chat
with the youngest visitor ever received
by him at the White house, says the
Washington Times.
Usher Hoover announced TO the
President in his library that Mrs. VIII
son would like him to go down to the
Blue room to see a young mar she was
greatly interested in.
On reaching the parlor the president
was presented to little Gordon Gray
son, the ten-week-old son of Admiral
and Mrs. Cary Grayson.
"What a fine little fellow" said the
president as he reached for the tiny
hand and shook 1t heartily.
Baby Grayson, although only ten
weeks old, seemed to realize the honor
of being the youngest visitor of Presl-
dent Wilson. He didn't cry once. Just
smiled and cooed, which is considered
very good form for a baby on a first
visit. The baby had no official busi-
ness with the president. Just wanted
to let him see how cute he looked In
his new dress, and how much he had
grown.

FORTS HOUSE MACHINE GUNS
How the Greatly Dreaded "PhI
Boxes" First Devised by Ger
mans, Are Managed.

II used TO be thought that the Bel
eian forts of armored steel and on
crete. almost completely buried In the
ground, would hold out against any
artillery. But when the Germans
brought I'D their great howitzers ana
hurled undreamed of quantities OF
high explosives on these forts, dhey
broke and crumbled to pieces, writes
A. Russell Bond in st. Nicholas. Iheh
II was predicted that the day OF the
fort was over. But the machine gun
has developed a new type OF warfare.
Instead of great forts mounting huge
Guns. we now have little machine-gun
forts, and they are far more trouble
some than the big fellows. To the Ger
mans belong the credit for this type
of fort. which consists Of a small con-
crete structure, hidden from view as
far as possible, but commanding some
important part of the front. PHI
boxes" the British call them, because
the first ones they ran across were
round in shape and something ike a
pill box In appearance.
These pill boxes are just large
enough to house a few men and a
couple of machine guns. Coneealment
is of the utmost importance; thei
safety depends upon 1t. Airplanes are
particularly feared, because a machine
gun emplacement is recognized to be
so important that a whole battery of
artillery would be turned upon a sus-
pected pill box. 1t is claimed that
some pill boxes are built with turrets
that rise out of the ground. Normally,
they are completely buried and COW
cred with turf so that no n would
expect their existence. During the
bombardment preceding a charge they
would remain hidden and only a
chance shot could put them out of
business. When the charge took place
the elevating mechanism would be OPP
Grated, and out of the ground would
rise the miniature fort. ready to halt
the advancing soldiers.
