SEATTLE. Nov. 6-"Sure they're

tic coast as Levi Bower, one of the
very few men who have gone from the

thus describing them when he was
here recently.
And / don't think it was Stefans-
son who first found them" Bower as
serted. Vilhalmur Stefansson, re-
turned Canadian Arctic explorer, who
has been credited with discovering the
strange tribe, agrees with Bower that
he did not find them first. He does,
however, claim that he made the first
study of the tribe and brought back
to the outside world the first report
of it's existence.
According to Stefansson and Bower,
Captain Klinkerberg, master OF the
whaling schooner Olga in 1905 pushed
northwest to Victoria Land where he
found the blond tribe. On his return
! to the whaling base at Herschel Is
land, an Arctic Ocean point, he told OF
| his findings Stefansson, then at
Herschel, heard Klinkenberg's story
and Immediately went to Victoria.

are really blond. Stefansson does not

/ light hair and eyebrows. Bower point
ed out that the blond" natives have
round full eyes while the other Es-
kimos of the far north have the slant
eyes of Asiatics.
1T looks as If the blond Eskimos'
come from early Greenlanders or Scan
dinayian stock of some kind" Bower
said. 81 know they are not half white
and half Eskimo because the half
breed Eskimos have black eyes and
black hair. These white ones have
light eyes and light skin and hair.
The old men of the tribe have the
same white features as the young.
Bows and arrows are used by them,
they know nothing about tobacco and
liquor, they make their fires with
sort of flint, they dress in skins, they
spear their reindeer and club their
fish, they won't eat outsiders food and
they speak a language similar to that
of the Eskimo.

ALLIES WILL AID
POPULATION OF
FORMER ENEMIES
Will Cooperate in Furnishing
Food to People Of Turkey,
Bulgaria and Austria.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.--America
and the allies are planning to cooper
ate In making available as far as pos
sible food and other supplies needed
for the demoralized civilian popula-
ton In once enemy countries.
This became known last night
through the publication of message
from Col T.. NJ House at Paris to Pres
ident Wilson. saying the supreme war
council at Versailles had adopted a
resolution announcing it's desire to
cooperate with Austria. Bulgaria and
Turkey in furnishing the necessities
of life for the suffering peoples OF
those nations.
The allied and American govern
ments are to cooperate with Austria
Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey in pro-
viding food and supplies for the suffer
ing civilian populations OF those coun-
tries. This decision was reached by
the Versailles conferees Monday,
President was advised today by Col
+. NJ. House.
AT the conclusion Of the meeting OF
the supreme war council yesterday
said Col. Houses message, II proposed
a resolution in the following sense and
the same was adopted: The supreme
war council in session at Versailles
desires to cooperate with Austria
Turkey and Bulgaria in the making
available as far as possible for the
lives of the civilian population OF
those countries
This announcement is expected tc
have a far-reaching effect in Germany
where. from all accounts, the food sit
uation Is only little less serious thar
it Is in the countries until recently
allied with Germany in the war. Con
ditions are represented as particularly
serious in Austria-Hungary, where
food riots have been frequent ant
where there has been intense suffer
ing not alone from the want of food
hut clothing and other necessaries.

LAST LETTER OF STEVENS

With the A. E. F., France,
,June 22th 1913

ouhC EoIti, 1910.
Friend Jim:
Your letter of some time ago was
received and / am very sorry that l
couldn't answer sooner for we have
been in the trenches quite number
of times and of course it is almost i'm
possible for us to write there. We
are out for a rest again-just how
long it is hard to tell, but don't sup
pose it will be long. have had quite
little experience since / wrote you
last. l have been in some "parbon"
sectors, as the French call it, mean
ing some pretty bad places, and had
several very close calls. l had a
friend killed by a piece of shell right
along side of me. We were touching
one another. The shell hit about fif-
teen yards away and / had a piece
cut my coat sleeve. Another shell
hit within ten yards of me when |
was sitting at table checking up
some salvage. 1t threw dirt all over
me but never touched me, so you see
! am very lucky and have had many
other very close calls besides that,
but that is quite common among us,
and we think very little of it for we
consider a miss as good as a mile. 1t
is very common for me to exchange
an equipment of some clothing that
has been hit by piece of shell and
rendered unserviceable and the per-
son not being touched.

The other day a private of this
compay was going thru trench with
his rifle on his shoulder and bullet
from German machine gun hit the
upper part of his gun and tore the
hand guard and stock pretty bad.
There was another case where a
sergeant, and private were sleeping
together in dugout and they took a
notion to walk up a vacant trench
that was nearby and while they were
out shell hit their dugout and you
ought to have seen their equipment;
it sure was in an awful shape. They
seem to think it paid them to take
the walk.
The French and Americans seem
to be bringing down their share of
German machines. We witness an

not far back of our lines not long ago
and the aviator was still sitting in

was broken from the jar when his
machine hit the ground. took a
piece of the cross from underneath
his right wing and am inclosing it to
