Joined In the general laughter which
followed every sally.

passing our window.
You're an officer, aren't your /
asked, respectfully enough.
Eyes. what Of itY' he rejoined.
"Well. In England" ! said, I'VE let
your officers who are prisoners ride
first class. Can't you flx 1t SO that we
can be similarly treated. or least be
transferred to second-class compart-
| ment"
IF had my way" he replied. you'd
ride with the hogs!"
Then he turned to the crowd and
told them Of my request and how he
had answered me. and they all laughed
hIlariously.
This got me pretty hot. ..-
THAT would be q D. sight
better than riding with the Germans !"
I yelled after him. but II he consid-
cred that a good joke. he didn't pass
1t on to the crowd.
Some months later when ! had the
honor Of telling my story to King
George. he thought this incident was
one Of the best jokes he had ever
heard. don't believe he ever laughed
harder In his life.
Before our train pulled out, our
guards had to present their arms for
inspection and their rifles were loaded
In our presence to let US know that
they meant business.
From the moment the train started
on Its way to Germany. the thought
kept coming to my head that unless
could make my escape before we
reached that reprisal camp might as
well make up my mind, as far as
was concerned. the war was over.
It occurred to me that II the eight
of us in that car could jump at given
signal and seize those four Hun guards
by surprise. we'd have splendid
chance OF besting them and jumping
Off the train when 1t first slowed down,
but when / passed the idea on to my
comrades they turned 1t down. Even
II the plan worked out as gloriously
as / had pictured. they pointed out,
the fact that so many Of US had es.
capped would almost inevitably result
In our recapture. The Huns would
have secured Belgium till they had
got US and then we would all be shot
Perhaps they were right.
Nevertheless, I was determined that
no matter what the others decided tt
do, was going to make one bid fol
freedom, come what might.
As we passed through village aftel
village In Belgium and realized that
we were getting nearer and nearer tt
that dreaded reprisal camp, con
cluded that my one and only chance Of
getting free before we reached 1t wa.
through the window! l would have
to 20 through that window while th'
train was going full-speed. because !
waited until 1t had slowed up Of
stopped entirely, 1t would be simple
matter for the guards to overtake o.
shoot Inc.
opened the window. The guart
who sat opposite me-so close tha
his feet touched mine and the stool
Of his gun which he held between bill
knees occasionally struck my foot
made no objection, imagining no doub
that found the car too warm or tha
the smoke. with which the compart
ment was filled, annoyed me.
As ! opened the window. the nois'

Spanish Cedar Sawdust.

Some curious uses are found for
the better kinds of sawdust. One OF
these pertains to the Spanish cedar
sawdust, which Is of extreme light
ness. 1t is employed for packing cheap
chemicals contained In glass and ship

FISH TO BE PLANTED

DOUGLAS, Sept. g. 5.-Manager J. A. Sprague, of the Juneau Fish Hatchery, his informed P R. Brad. ley that he has several thousand brook trout fry of fine, gamey variety which he will be glad to have planted in the Island streams. MT Bradley has taken the matter up with several of the Island nimrods who are interested in the propagat- ing of game fish and on Sunday sev- eral volunteers are wanted to assist Mr. Sprague in distributing the trout in either Lawson or Fish Greeks and possibly a few of the other streams which promise good protection to the young fry. It is thought advis- able to plant them near the heads of the streams so they will be protected from the gulls and larger fish until they are able to care for themselves.

PUBLICATION READY

TREADWELL, Sept. 5.-The pub lication for the benefit of the boys lover there" which has been com piled by interested parties on the Isl and, is reported to be ready for the press. Many of the boys over there complain of not receiving all the local news, or news of their many friends which is more of a personal nature and does not get into the local press, so this means is taken of informing the boys of what is going on more in the shape of per sonal letter, and those in charge of the work are to be commended for their efforts, as they boys are sure to appreciate anything of the sort. It is purposed to make a regular issue of local events and contribu- tions from friends or anything of a local nature will be contributed and printed for the benefit of the boys who are at the front.

 LIVELY PLACE
 SAYS STEbERC
Some New Improvements Which Have GreateIy Added to the Improve
 ment of City.

Petersburg is a good town" said K L. Steberg, prominent business man of that place yesterday, "her industries have been growing rapid ly.
 "The Petersburg Packing Com pany, when I left there a few days ago, had packed 112,000 cases of fish which I believe is one of the largest packs up to this time.
 We have a local, floating cannery that has already put up 26,000 cases
 The recent establishment of Pet ersburg as a port of entry and the location of a customs house there some time in July, has proved a great convenience for the fishing fleet that operates out from there.
 "The Standard Oil Company is just completing a dock and three large tanks at Petersburg, so that the town will be able to serve in the capacity of an oil station to those who will need it.
 Our main trouble in Petersburg is the one that they have elsewhere in Alaska. We have been unable tc secure sufficient labor during the Summer" :

The War Savings Stamp campaign
to be success will be the most in
tensiVe and extensive and the brief
est campaign that has ever been wag-
ed in the State of Louisiana. The or
ganizati0n did not begin to take
shape until after the first Of June,
and the work is supposed to be COM
pleted by June 26th.
The Nebraska plan which has been
adopted by the State, is undoubtedly
the logical way to make such a thor
ough campaign, besides it has been
tried out in the State Of Nebraska
and filed every expectation.
The State of Louisiana and the
State of Nebraska are similar in Il
good many respects, in that they both
are both agricultural States and both
have an element that would seem
hard to reach on patriotic activities
and in a financial way. Nebraska
has a large foreign population and
