WINTER TRAVEL IN ALASKA
Archdeacon Stuck Tells Of Some Of the
sufferinas to Be Encountered In
the Frozen North.

Archdeacon Stuck, already famous
for his ascent of Mount Mckinley,
made a remarkable journey into Alaska
last winter
His route extended around the
whole arctic coast of Alaska, begin
ming at the west side. and thence in
land to Fort Yukon. He was received
everywhere with cordial hospitality
by the Eskimos. Two weeks were
spent at Point Barrow, where the trav-
eler had an opportunity of studying
the largest Eskimo village in Alaska
under winter conditions. During the
subsequent journey of 225 miles to
Flaxman island the party saw only one
human being and were housed only
twice.
The archdeacon describes Il as 'the
barrenest, most desolate. most for
saken coast I have ever seen in my
life; fat as this paper on which I
write, the frozen land merging indis-
tinguishably into the frozen sea
nothing hut q stick OF driftwood
here and there, half buried in the in
dcnted snow. gives evidence Of the
shore"
For two weeks the travellers had 10
face bitterly cold northeast wind,
and the faces of all We're continuously
frozen. The heaviest task of all was
the journey over III" winters I'M
broken snow 10 Fort Yukon. On this
inland trip Stefansson and his party
were encountered and escorted to Fort
Yukon. where StefansSOn, who was
seriously i'll, received medical at
tentiOn.

AIRPLANES IN GREAT WAR
Fokkcrs Must Be Credited With Re-
nnarkable Work That Contributed
to Victory Of Civilization.

The Fokker series is interesting.
First. there was the mOnOplane FOX

Then they tried the little trinlane

whose speciality was climbing high
and diving down on the foe. Unfor-
tunately in the dive the top plane had

The last type of Fokker-and a
very good One-is the DT biplane, all

high-pOwer engine and tremendous

lOnged to Richthofen's circus. You can
follow the attempts of the Germans

ing to the weight and clumsiness.

"The Swallow"

MISS RUTH DUNBAR has sue
1V1 ceeded to an unusual degree in
doing something almost as difficult as the
satisfactory dramatization of a novel
namely, the expanding and augmenting Of
a short story to book length. Indeed, her
undertaking was particularly hard, since
her short story was what newspaper men
call fact story. 1t was about the ex-
perience of a member of the Lafayette
Escadrille in hospitals at the front and In
Paris. This she told, or retOld, for maya
zine publication with much skill and i'm
pressive effect, the airman himself fgur-
ing as the narrator.
She has now made him the hero of a
pleasant work of fiction, Incorporating
the hospital episode and, of course, pro-
viding a "Iove interest"-the heroine be-
ing, equally of course, a nurse. She lets
Dicky Byrd from Texas tell the whole of
bis martial adventure, beginning with his
crossing to Dublin from New Orleans
on I mule boat, and ending with his con-
valescence and prospective felicity.
1T is only in the love interest in Dicky's
sufferings from the light and tickle JAS
mine back in Texas, succeeded by his
yearning idealization of the Irish Eileen
with the white uniform, that Miss Dun
bar betrays herself as q woman imagining
the role of very young man from the
inside. The betrayal is not serious;
Dicky in love is Economically agreeable
to read about; but his feeling toward
Eileen, or perhaps his expression of it,
seems to a male reader like the feeling
Eileen would endow him with.
Otherwise he seems quite in character,
a wholesomely cheeky yOungster as Ameri-
can as the flag, holding his own among
the assorted thugs on the mule boat, slang
ing the overbearing hoorwalker of the
London store where he gets stop-gap
job, declining to be snubbed by the con-
sul's clerk who tries to send him home
and finally aging and deepening under
the war and his service. We like him,
Ike Miss Dunbar's clever way Of writing
about him, and shall make q point OF
reading her next book.
