FRENCH LIGHT TANKS

Among the many individual feats of the French light tanks and their drivers which have come to light. one of the most interesting, perhaps, is that of Brigadier Collier, who was decorated with the cross of the Legion of Honor for his work in light tank which enabled fifteen American soldiers to capture TOO Germans, during the advance toward the Rhine.
 Several hundred of these tanks led the counter offensive from the Eiilers-Cotterets forest in July, which marked what appears to have been the turning point of the war
 They broke through the enemys lines. destroying his machine guns sections, overcoming strong centers Of resistance and spreading panic and demoralization in the German ranks.
 Wherever the infantry was pre- ceded by the ''chars d'assaut" as the French call them, the advance was three miles a day.
 It was these same French light tanks which preceded the Ameri- cans in their advance upon Juvigny and Terny on the Soissons plateau. One of them, manned by lieutenant killed more than 200 Germans on the plateau.
 Documents that have come into the hands of the French staff show that the Germans were greatly wor- ried by the light tanks and studi- ously coached their men in methods of defense against them
 The light cars had the advantage of greater speed and of being more easily handled than the heavier tanks. They require a crew of only two men, driver and gunner and carry a one and a half-inch gun and a machine gun.

pect that the others, the Allies for instance, will fight for them"
 Russia is now divided into two camps" declares the Voxroshdenie Sievera. One is on the side of the monarchists, the Bolsheviki and the Germans; and the other, all the democratic elements of Russia SUD- ported by the Allies. The Bolshe- wiki try to persuade the population that the Allied intervention aims to restore monarchy, but the facts show the contrary. Russia must fully realize that the aim of the Allies is to lend their assistance for the regeneration of Russia on a sound and democratic basis"

WHY WE WON

General Mangin's army was engaged in the most terrific battle of the war; for three days no progress could be made against the desper- ate resistance of the Prussian Guards and Bavarian shock troops. In the vicinity of Coucy-le-Chateau and on the edges of the Saint Gobian forest the battle ragged. German counter attacks had driven back the attacking Franco-Ameri- can army at various points.
 A division of the American army after three weeks of stubborn fight ing, had just been relieved and rested on comparative safety be- hind the Aiette river. Two hundred of the American soldiers proudly exhibited passes emitting them to ten days leave in Paris and other where to the rear.
 At four in the morning the ''alert" was sounded. A violent German counter attack had just been launched threatening the AL lied positions north of the Ailette. The diviison was to return to the firing line at once.
 As they mustered out. heavy with sleep, the officers told the boys that those in possession of passes. for the rear, might remain behind. They could take advantage of the brief furlough.
 Not one man remained behind.

A TOUGH JOB

Difficulty besets the government of the North and it's Allied advisors in their attempt to bring order out of the chaos of nine months of Bol- sheviki regime in the Archangel province Slowly, but surely, writes an Associated Press correspondent from Archangel, the task is going forward, but no one denies it is difficult job
 One problem the Allies confront IS now to arouse the Russians to work for their own regeneration and to join in the task of shaking off the grip of the Bolsheviki. Urging them to do so, the Sivernoie Utro, published at Archange! says
 The French, British and Ameri- can soldiers came here from all parts of the world to fight for the freedom and happiness of this country. The Russian people look upon the Allies with envy. with the eyes of beggar watching a rich neighbor, and they are making but little effort themselves to strive for happier and freer life. They ex-

like a chip. Kodiak Island, which
 was bower of green hiiis, with
 many head of cattle grazing there on. was covered with ashes to ..yr.th of
 from , to 20 feet; the inhabitants
 numbering over 400. being compelled
 to take to boats and seek satety
 by flight. The heroic conduct of the captain of the revenue cutter
 saved these lives, as the vessel steamed into the pitchy black dark ness, amid falling rocks and ashes, taking off the population. All stock on the island was killed. and for months the huge brown bears on the island were seen with great patches of their hair gone from the effect of the ashes, slacked by heavy rains. The scene was one of the most awe inspiring ever witnessed. Norman Leopold and Nick Meckem, two Val dezans were in the vicinity when the explosion occurred, Mir. Leopold on the Dora and Mir Meckem pros pecting on the beach near the mountain. Both were saved. The native village on Katmai Bay was overwhelmed by ashes and mud, and its inhabitants forced to flee for their lives. It was a miracle that the loss of life from this explosion did not reach into the thousands, but few lives were lost, owing to the bravery of the steamship and revenue officials, who took every chance of losing their vessels in res cuing the survivors.
 In Cook Inlet are three we'll known volcanoes: Mt. Redoubt, 10,- 900 feet high and almost constantly smoking. Several years ago violent eruption occurred from this volcano, causing a great tidal wave which did enormous damage. Ashes fell so thickly it covered the snow for several feet, making travel impossible until another snowfall.
 Mt. Chernabura, on an island of the same name in the Inlet, smokes occasionally and at intervals be- comes violent and changes the to- pography of the country adjoin- ing. Forty years ago it had ter rife eruption and a large number of the natives were killed.
 Mt. Iliamna, 12,O66 feet high, is in the same district and is generally 
 In the Copper river valley is the great Mount Wrangell, 1S,5OO feet high. This volcano smokes continu- ously and about 15 years ago had a slight eruption.
 On account of the numerous vol | canoes Alaska suffers numerous earthquakes Sometimes these quakes are merely tremors, and at other times they are violent enough to cause uneasiness. Just before the eruption of Mt. Katmai, over 100 quakes were noticed in one day

$40 ACRES MORE
IN CULTIVATION
This Section Continues
to Grow Steadily
VOLUME 38.

Attorney Adamson hasjust
completed the plowing of
his 800 acre ranch, ready for
the sowing of winter wheat.
The work was accomplished
with a Parrett tractor and a
three-gang plow at a cost Of
less than $1.OO per acre.
The tractor was driven
from Mackay on it's own
power and all the blowing
done without one cent of
costs for repairs. 1t plowed
on an average ofone acre an
hour, eight to ten inches in
depth and pulled a harrow
at the same time.
Tractors are going to solve
to a great extent the short
age of labor, as all blowing
can be done after harvest in
the fall. The tractor will al
so furnish power for thresh-
ing, saving of the winters
wood, stump pulling and
other work on the farm.
Great care should be made
in selecting a tractor; there
are a few good tractors on
the market and agreat num-
ber of poor ones. All look
good on paper, but the trac-
tors that make good with
hard knocks under condi.
tions here are the ones to
purchase.
