 E. B. (Duffy) O'Connor is again in our midst, having recently return ed from an extended trip down the coast. He left here about one month ago for the purpose of round :. ing up a number of reindeer belong ing to local residents. Shortly after leaving Nome, Duffy encountered one of the government: herds Drows- ing in the vicinity of Bonanza river. Said herd was under the supervi- sion of a well-known native herder. named Tautuk. After he had care fully examined the herd, he identi- fled GA of the deer he was seeking. On account of being unable to. find an available place, whereby the GA reindeer could be segregated from tho main herd. the entire herd were driven to the vicinity of White Mountain, and those Duffy was. auth orized to secure, were separated from the rest. Having gained possession of the 64 (which is about 50 per cent of the total number expected to be recovered) they were driven to an excellent browsing place near Salmon Lake, at which place they gre at present. There are in the neighborhood of 1000 reindeer in the government herd mentioned above.

The daily Nome industrial worker., 1918-04-11

These few lines are written for , the benefit of those whom it may concern.
 Whenever the Miners in this com munity desire to discuss the wage question, they will do so, at an open meeting, or at closed meeting, without consulting George B. Mundy, or others similar to him, in refer ence thereto. Regardless of intim- idation with threats of arrest. Now MT. Mundy, 1T you have knowledge that any citizen in this community has committed crime against the peace and dignity of the United States of America, just go right along and do your sworn duty. Don't threaten him by saying, q would have you arrested only for your family's sake" Remember that because a man is married and has family, he has no more special priveleges regard ing the enforcement of the law, than a single man has. Therefore, that is no reason why he should violate the law, anymore than ignorance of the law is ltself an excuse for so doing.
 We presume, that if the person, or persons so threatened by Mundy, will notify the Honorable Judge of the District Court, due cognizance will be taken, ana we feel assured, if the aforesaid attitude of the pros ecuting attorney, is found to be cor rect, the matter will be thoroughly investigated.

THE SUGAR BOWL.

From all over the country reports arc pouring into the office of the Food Administration at Washington to the effect that great supplies of sugar have been saved by doing away with the open sugar bowl on tables of hotels and restaurants. It has been found that customers are just as we'll satisfied when they receive their cof- fee or other beverage already sweet aned or with the allotted amount of sugar placed en their saucer.
 If so much sugar can be saved in this way, why cannot the old-fashion .glgaF bowl be banished permanently from the table, and not only in public nlaoes but in private homes as well

THE RUSSIAN DEBACLE.

From the meagre despatches seep- ng through to the outside world from Russia one can judge that affairs in hat country are in a terrible state. IeutraIs as we'll as citizens of bellig- Brent countries with which Russia had heretofore been on friendly foot ng are being harassed by the authori- lies and are said to be in grave per #5nal danger. Our countrymen are be- q ing cared for by the Swedish consult general. who has assumed charge of Anne erican interests in Moscow and ac- cording to latest reports he is en- #deavoring to arrange for their de- parture from Russia on a warship to be sent from Stockholm.
 Tn Moscow and Petrograd conditions baffle description. In the latter city hundreds are reported to have been shot down in the streets, while the l lack of commodities in the new capi- tai is causing awful suffering. No au- thority Is recognized and the people
 
 are said to be on the verge of another revolution.
 This is the state of affairs after one year of rule by Lenine and Trotzky. They undermined Kerensky when the latter was at the height of his power. They thought they could manage the country better than he managed it. People did no know then, as they know now that these two precious in dividuals were in the pay of Ger many and that they worked at the behest of Berlin. Now, however, they have ben exposed in their true light, and the feeling of the populace has be- come so strong that they had to flee for their lives.
 Russia will never take her place amongst the nations of the world in a true sense, so long as there is one trace of Bolshevism in her politics. Until that nefarious hydra loses all of It's heads, there will always be Ger man influence brought to bear in Russia. Perhaps Allied intervention will solve the problem. Time alone can tell

NEW ENGLAND MEN
 KEENEST FIGHTERS
High Praise for Our Troops From
 Unexpected Quarter

Amsterdam, Aug. 21.-An antidote to the opinion of Generals von Blume and vOn Liebert who see a menace in a large American army on the western front, already has appeared in the Cologne Zeitung. To calm the German public the Tuesday edition of the Ieitung contained q long article attempting to prove by statistics that America cannot possibly send 300. 900 men to Europe in a month. The ar- ticle declares more than 40 troop ships already have been sunk. It continues: :
 "If the Americans at the front are fighting well that does not need to cause surprise for it is the fine flower of American manhood which now is at the front, namely, the old regular army, plus about O,000 of the most sturdy and most adventurous ele- ments, which all nations have, who volunteered at the outbreak of the war. Then there will be contingents recruited from the New England states who are the best educated and keeneSt because their heart is in the business.
 'SO we get an aggregate of from 100000 to 250,O00 picked men, but once these are used up the picture will be altered because they cannot be re- placed"
 The Zeitung believes compulsory military service is widely opposed and is being eVaded in the United States and it builds hope on the slender basis that American casualty lists will in crease this alleged repugnance. The article concludes with these argu- mentS:
 'The Americans are not supermen mllltarily and less so than in other re- spects America may build standard ships but she cannot turn out standard soldiers.
 America has done more than many expected, even in America, but despite all surprises American expert opinion that the full weight of her military power will not develop before 1919 or even 1920 still holds good"

PARK IMPROVEMENTS
Expenditures Contemplated by Board
 of Public Works.

Improvements to be made at the junction of Hartford avenue and Stan ley street were outlined by City Engi- neer William H. Hall at a meeting of the board of public works last eve- ming. Concrete walks will be laid and shrubbery will be set out. Ultimately an ormental pergola will be construct ed. For the present sum of $2o0 will be expended. This will not cover the total cost, but is as much as the commission can expend at this time.
 Hart street will be top dressed and oiled in accordance with the petition received. A hearing will be held on the matter of constructing a sewer in Bradley street. Sidewalks were rec commended for Ash street and the roadway will be macadamized when reached in the order of work.
 A letter from the Union Mfg. Go. was read, in which complaint was made in regard to the storm water sewer in the street. It was claim ed that the basins had not been cleaIr@ d in six years and water backs into the factory during heavy storms. It is also said that the sewer is not ample to carry off the water
 Unfavorable action taken on the petition of four property owners on Greenwood street. asking that the plan to oil the street be abandoned. A hearing will be held in regard to the ordering of a sewer in Cambridge street. Residents on Overlook avenue asked that the street be accepted by the city. They will be notified that the street must first be worked to a satisfactory grade.

MORE KNITTFzRS WANTED FOR
 WORK WITH RED CROSS

Reports from headquarters of the New Britain Red Cross chapter show that unless the assistance of more knitters is procured the local chapter will fall down on it's part of the work in providing sweaters and socks for the bows at the front and in the various camps New Britain'S allotment of knitted goods, to be completed by the first Septemb Der, is 5000 pairs of socks and 2O0O sweaters. Of this number only 1,6OO pairs of socks and 100 sweaters have been completed leaving 1.6OO sweaters and 6,4O0 pirs of socks yet to be made.
 The local chapter has issued an ap- peal to all the women of New Britain to help in filling this large quota Hartford's sweater allotment has al- ready been completed and shipped, and it was proportionately larger than city plan to have their entire quota ready to be shipped on time Those in charge of the work here have stated that it will require the assistance of every knitter in this city, if the allot- ment for New Britain Is to be com pleted on time The Red Cross is preparing for the winter and the total number of sweaters and socks has been divided among all the chapters i'll the country, according to population.

Service Flags and Pins. (Rntlo d Hpr9 Id l

Now that so much pride is being taken in and so much stress laid on service flags and their accompany ing emblems and pins, it looks as though the flag department would be asked to rule on their display and employment, so that Q very pretty custom and proper exhibition of pride could be made to have a we'll defined meaning.
 Abuse of service flags and service pins is widespread. There are houses displaying two and three-star flags when no man from that house is serving in either the army or navy or any of their branches. Because members of the family, near rela- tives or former lodges go to the front, the flag is mounted and none may say them nay.
 Young women are wearing service pins for their sweetheerts in the army or navy, not because they are relatives, but because they hope to be! Surely this is going some dis tance in adapting an unofficial badge of honor.
 Now that the casualties are plac- ing their solemn stamp and emphasis on this matter of service emblems now that certain unauthorized in ventOrs are prescribing gold stars or silver stars in memory of men who have given their lives for humanity. it is high time for the war depart ment to make a few simple rules like the flag regulations, governing the use and display of service flags and the wearing of service pins and memorial pins.
 It is not fair to families who have actually given their sons in this sacred cause to 'have their nob1e
