CANINE HEROES HAD TO DIE
Dire Necessity Forced the Monks Of
st. Bernard to Put Their Dogs
to Death.

All but six of the famous st. Ber-
nard dogs kept by the monks of that
ancient monastery in the Alps have
been killed. Shortage of meat caused
by the war led to this massacre.
The st. Bernard pass Is Of histori-
cal renown. 1t connects the valleys of
the Rhone and the Dora Baltea. 1t
was traversed by Roman legions thou
sands of years ago. In medieval times
the pass served the armies of conquer
ors and the bands of mercenaries. Ma
poleOn crossed the Alps at this point
in 1900.
The great monastery was built in
the middle Of the sixteenth century. 1t
was maintained for the relief of trav-
elers who were surprised by snow
storms while crossing the pass. The
st. Bernard dogs were used to find the
frozen victims Of me storms in the
sncwdrifts. They were specially train
ed for this work Of relief and carried
the first aid to the injured in a little
basket attached to their collars. These
dogs rescued thousands of human be-
ings, many Of whom were Of historical
prominence. And for the first time in
the history of this famous monastery
the dogs had to be slaughtered for want
of food. At other times report of this
sort would create profound interest In
Paris, but at present the human race
Is thinking Of its own necessities and
cares less about dog heroes living more
than S,100 feet above the surface Of
the sea.

Useless Precaution.

A German captain of engineers re-
lates how he once sent a green cor
poral and three men back to the Rus
sian lines with instructions to put a
railroad station completely out of
commission so that it could by no
means be Of use to the enemy.
The corporal rejoined the command
in a surprisingly short time consider
ing the nature of the task. The cap
tain asked If he had carried out his
instructions.
"Ja wohl, Herr Hauptmann," said
the corporal, "the Russians will never
be able to use that station again. You
see," pointing to a large sack on his
back, 81 have carried away all the
ickets."-London Opinion.

CHAPTER VI

Always a fury in the ring, with a temper that flared and carried him to inspired efforts at times, Sullivan seemed devil when the second round opened. Ryan approached the scratch cautiously with his head still some what dazed by the force of the blow that had terminated the first round Sullivan, however, leaped forward, barely paused at the line on the turf and then went on across to meet the champion
 Again the swishing left cut through Ryan's guard and the pile-driving right swung over this time to crack down on Ryan's jaw with stinging force. Ryan's temper blazed and he side-step- ped a rush. to lash out with right and catch Sullivan squarely on the cheek. Sullivan was hammering down his right hand again when Ryan stepped underneath the blow and grasped Sul- livan about the waist There they stood, toe to toe, and with the right arms shortened, hammered each other with the cutting, ripping jabs. Sulli- van strove for a fall, but Ryan was ready and when the pair did go down t was with Ryan on top.
 4 fall in London prize ring rules, which terminated a rOHuG, always counted in favor of the man who land. ed on top, for it was part of the game to try and crush the breath out of the man underneath. Ryan's corner, therefore was more cheery when he walked to it.
 The joy was short-lived. The third round ended almost as soon as it started when Sullivan caught the charging champion with vicious Over- hand swing. It caught Ryan full in the face, and he dropped as if some one had cut off his legs with scythe. An ordinary man would have been out then and there, but it is a tribute to 8yan's gameness to say that he was back for the fourth round, weak but II of fight after he had been carried 4 his corner and restoratives applied,
 Two blows ended the fourth round. The first, left, staggered Ryan and it again was the terrible right that crushed him and sent him sprawling yOn the turf
 Ryans face was now crimson and when the fifth round opened he was

COMMON LAW MARRIAGE
 LEGALIzED IN TERRITORY

The decision of the case of Eliza beth Harkrader against Cunningham R. Reed and his wife Julia in favor of the plaintiff is of particular inn portauce in that it established the validity Of common-law marriage in Alaska, say Juneau attorneys.
 Other states and territories have nearly ar upheld this law, both in the United States and in all English ter ritories, but this is the first time it has received legal recognition in Alaska.
 This case was begun a year ago last February, but at that trial wit nesses were not permitted to testify as to whether Harkrader was or was not married to the mother of Eliza beth, who was called Lily Harkrader.
 The particular suit was for recovery of a half interest in lot. but with the establishment of her identity as the daughter of Harkrader, Elizabeth Harkrader will fall heir to consider-' able property. Not only the two lots and house located in Juneau will be hers, but she will become the owner of a half interest in a coal mine near KilisnOo and will hold a considerable interest in the Nevada Creek mine, located at the southern end of Douglas island.
 The jury allowed the plaintiff, Harkrader, $20 as damages for the use of the property while in posses sion of the defendants, c. R. Reed and his wife now deceased.

not so ready to meet the unIeashed fury that was sweeping him to certain defeat. He hung back, but Sullivan, a taunting smile on his lips, rushed him like a bull Close quarters fight ing was forced, although Sullivan had been taugh to keep at a distance from the champion, who had a reputation as a wrestler Standing toe to toe and slugging, Sullivan suddenly wrenched back, caught his antagonist by the waist and by a quick cross-buttock, threw him headlong across the ring. He grinned, for he had beaten the champion at his own game.
 The sixth and seventh were merely repetitions of the other rounds. Ryan landed one good blow to the chin, but it did him little good, for Sullivan was flushed with the oncoming success and the knowledge that the championship was in his grasp.
 Ryan came out strong for the eighth, but Sullivan met him with the heavy. crushing overland swings and beat him to the ground. The round termin- ated when Sullivan, measuring his blow, caught his man behind the ear with a tremendous right smash that lifted Ryan clear off his feet and laid him full length on the turf, senseless.
 The fight would have ended for most men, but Ryan couldn't give up. His seconds worked over him furiously during the minute interval and when time was called he went to the scratch It was only a question of time now and Sullivan waited his opportunity. Both fighters missed wild left swings and then worked into a clinch where Sul- livan began to work both arms in murderous fashion. A volley of rights to the head sent the champion stagger- ing back, vainly trying to- ward off the blows that were beating him into unconsciousness. As he half fell away from. the blows, Sullivan step ped back, and, with his forearm club bed in the fashion he had so often used it, he sent home the finishing blow, a laundering drive that landed under Ryan's ear. The champion crumpled and fell like a sack of oats, completely out. His seconds were un- able to bring him to his senses in time for the tenth round, ard John l.. Sullivan had become the. prize ring champion of America.

NJ APPROPRIATIONS YET
 FOR MOUNT M'KINLEY PARK

In the report of the director of na- tional parks in the United States at tention is given to Mt. Mckinley na- tional park, of Alaska: This new reservation" says the raport "ncloses an area of 2,200 square miles and contains the loftiest raountain in America-Mount McKin- lev. It was established by the act of congress approved February 26, 1917, and is the second largest national park.
 Mount Mckinley rises 2O,3OO feet above sea level, and is nearly 5000 feet higher than Mount Whitney, the loftiest summit within the borders of the United States proper. The south side of Mount Mckinley, which is the stupendous climax of the great Alas kan range, is nearly impossible. It is covered by glaciers of enormous bulk. The annual snowfall in some places reaches a depth of sixty feet. On the north side, however, is rolling coun- +ry dotted with beautiful lakes and forests and inhabited by great herds of caribou, bighorn sheep, moose and deer. The huge Alaskan bear is also native to the park.
 Congress established this reserva ton as a refuge and breeding ground for conservation of Alaskan big game against inroads which may be expect ed to develop upon completion of tho new Alaskan railway. In the absenc of specific appropriation for admins tration of the park the governor o Alaska continues to afford protection to the animal life through the smal force of territorial game wardens III der his direction. Promptly upon pas sage of the act creating the park a estimate for an appropriation in tn sum of $1O,0O0 for protective and in provement purposes was submitted congress-, but this failed to receiv favorable consideration in either tn sixty-fourth or the sixty-fifth col

London, Nov. Am armistice with

nouncement made here. The text
of the statement reads:

Is saying that news has just come that
Austria Hungary, the last of Ger
many's props, has gone out Of the war.
"The armistice was signed by Gen

come into operation Monday at three
o'clock, p. m. The terms will be pub
lished Tuesday"

Vienna, Nov. 4.-"Hostilities have

says an official statement issued here.
"An armistice has been concluded"
The statement adds.
Terms to Be Made Public.
Paris, Nov. 4.-Off1cial announce
ment of the signing Of the Austrian
armistice reached the premiers while
they were in session at the apartment
Of Colonel House, President Wilson's
special representative, and gave the
greatest satisfaction.
It was arranged that the conditions
of the armistice would be made public
promptly.
Confirmed by George.
A m 1Nxvf1
George telephoned from Paris that the
Austrian armistice was signed at Gen.
eral Diaz' headquarters Sunday.
Terms to Be Stern.
No official hint as to the terms ac-
cepted by Austria has been disclosed,
but in view of the officially inspired
statement from Washington yesterday
Of the terms proposed for Germany it
is believed they will be at least as
stringent
The terms proposed for Germany
are such that their acceptance would
mean virtual military surrender and
would place Germany at the mercy Of
the allies.
1t is believed that the same general
Idea governs the terms to be offered
her principal ally.
The italian Irridentist claims I'M
doubtedly have an important bearing
On the terms accepted by Austria.
Wilson's Terms Follow.
An official announcement issued by
the italian government yesterday, stat
Ing that negotiations for an armistfce
were under way, is significant 1t said
In part:
"The conditions Of the armistice are
Inspired by the principles of President
Wilson, namely, to render impossible
for the enemy to recommence war
and to prevent him profting by an
armistice to withdraw from a difficult
military situation. The condition of
the battle along our front demon
strates the great value of these terms. .
The claim Of Italy to the provinces
of Trent and Triest doubtless has been
allowed in the signing of the armistice,
while press dispatches today, report
ing the landing of Italian troops at
the fort of Triest, indicate that Aus
trials sea power is to be curbed at
least by the surrender of her princi-
pal seaports on the Adiatic, if not by
the surrender of her entire navy.
