ELSEWHERE IN ALASKA

Treacherous gasoline caused the total destruction of the residence of MT. and Mrs. Robert Soutar, at ldiit- arod recently, and the very severe burning of Mrs. Soutar, who was alone in the house, and not another person within a distance of two blocks. That Mrs. Soutar escaped with her life is miraculous-as her shoulders, arms, neck and face are frightfully burned. With her cloth ing afire Mrs. Soutar rushed from the flame filled house clear across First street into the hard-crusted deep snow for relief, and her screams quickly brought a couple of neigh bors to her aid, who found the little woman in an exhausted condition from the terrible experience She was quickly carried to the Adams house, where ''first relief" requisites were splendidly applied by neighbor- ing women, and fast dogteam soon delivered her at the hospital, where she was placed under the care of a doctor.

 "Well?" asked the new arrival.
 "They did not explain to him about his arm."
 To mend his leg, an expert sur geon had taken some bone from his arm to graft the shattered limb. So the poilu, who had gone to sleep with only one wound, awoke to find him. self with two. No wonder he had ragged. He had seen nothing but brutality in the ways of expert mod ern surgery.

P%unishments and Machine-Gun Stunts.
Soon after my arrival In France: IN
fact, from my enlistment, / had found
that in the British army discipline Is
very strict. One has to be very care
full In order to stay on the narrow pain
Of government virtue.
There are about seven million ways
Of breaking the kings regulations; TO
keep one you have to break another.
The worst punishment is death by a
firing squad, or "up against the WALL
as Tommy calls 1t.
This Is for desertion, cowardlce, mu-
tiny, giving information to the enemy
looting, rape, robbing the dead, forcing
q safeguard, striking a superior, etc.
Then comes the punishment OF sixty
four days in the front-line trench with
out relief. During this time you have
to engage in all raids, working parties
in No Mans Land, and every hazardous
undertaking that comes along. II YOU
live through the sixty'four days yot
are indeed lucky.
