raven are the chief representatives of the Indian families, and some tra- ditions says. their proSenitors. They are a sort of insignia or crest. Most of the poles are from twenty to sixty feet high, and from two to five feet in diameter. The carving is on the front of the pole and in some of the totem poles placed among the Haida villages, where many of the best speci- mems are found. a doorway is cut through the trunk of the totem for egress and ingress. Some odd poles are surmounted by tall hats of the Boston" man. In early days the white traders were called Boston" men and the Indians took this way of showing the family's association with them. Many of the most interesting of Alaska's totems are over the graves of shamen As these chiefs or medicine men are buried above ground the large wooden animals on top of the boxes are carefully carved and wonderfully painted.
 Though the totem poles of Ketchf- kan are of interest some of a higher order are found at WrangelI, the old Hudson Bay Trading Post. at which the boat stops later on. Hunters from all parts of the world assemble period

are opportunities at times to obtain rare skins, but the many charms of this old Russian-American town make the purchase of trophies sink into in- significance. This interesting old town seems set in coronet with towering mountains in the background. It is protected by a bay from the turmoil of the ocean and the water is dotted with hundreds of rocky and pine-clad islands. The whole forms a harbor of so much beauty that it has been likened to the Sea of Japan and the Bay of Naples. The town is a peace full, struggling sort of place. with a few hundred houses and an interesting raucherie or Indian village in which live several hundred descendants of the tribe that once caused Baranof so much trouble.
 Long before the boat stops at Sitka, one can see the rocky eminence on which Baranof raised his castle, and near the wharf are some ancient moss- covered Russian buildings. Just out side of the town is the spot. marked with some of the best totem poles in Alaska. which Ex-President Taft caused to be set aside asa National Monument to commemorate the Rus sian victory over the Indians.

cipal towns and villages the tourist gets glimpse of the character, habits and conditions of the people and of the Alaskan Indians, who engage in many occupations.
 The country along Vancouver Island is storied territory, for it has played it's part in the annals of the early .voyagers of the Pacific. The real boundary of Alaska begins at Dixon's Entrance and shortly after the steam CT stops at Ketchikan, one of the new est of the towns. It seems to cling to the hillside. but it has homes and an excellent reason for being, for cop per and gold are found nearby and t is the headquarters of the halibut industry in this section. There is a boardwalk which follows a salmon stream and this and the totem poles form a sort of keynote to other Alaskan towns.
 Totem Poles
 Totem poles are not found in all Alaskan towns, but whenever seen they are of great interest to the pas sengers. Most of the Alaskan totem poles are carved .on the sides and hold on the top the figure of an anil mal-the frog. toad. bear or whale being favorites because these with the

of wide or narrow channels, and some times into tortuous courses as at Wrangell Narrows, which look like a narrow canyon filled with water and bordered by wonderful blue mountains and snow encrusted peaks. Always there is an open way before and many, many miles behind. The waters often have an opalescent hue. and as it does not grow dark until well on ten o o'clock, there are many hours of day. light in which to enjoy the ever changing scenes. Sometimes porpoises leap into the air. and whales have been known to disport them selves not far from the shore.
 Salmon Canning
 The salmon canneries always interest the sightseer. and when the steamer stops at Petersburg or some other large cannery, time is given to watch the process. One sees the thousands of fish lying on the wharf, the slicing, canning, boiling and finished product. There is a cannery at Metlakahtla which is of interest because the town. with it's neat houses, church built by the Indians, school and saw mill, is governed by council of natives aided by William Duncan, the founder. Many years ago this Englishman came to

 Many icebergs will be seen, and the glaciers fill world-travelers with won der. There is an iridescent effect in Alaskan glaciers that is not seen on other American glaciers. Frequently there are opportunities to stop at Davidson and Taku glaciers and if the sea is calm it sometimes happens that one gets glimpse of Muir Bay. filled with ice foes from the great Muir Glacier.
 It is an interesting voyage-this to Southeastern Alaska, but after all the towns are not the greatest attraction. One may view with curiosity the totem poles. may ramble over quaint villages of Russian memories, may take a trip on a railroad above the clouds, may purchase miniature totem poles and curios. but what fingers longest In the 2 memory are snowy mountain heigAt4 transcendent cloud effects and fho3 glorious Aurora Borealiss ,. x.

Wher- ever our men were billeted an Amer ican emblem was hung oilt in their honor and they were treated as if they were sons of the family. Indeed, in homes where the sons had been killed while serving in the French Army the women mothered our boys as If they were their own children.
 With the sole exception of the coun- tries of the Central Powers our Flag seemed to become a solace to the people, and now even these countries see it flying in various quarters.
 To be sure the Germans are whin- ing like whipped CUTS and still sending g forth propaganda to keep their people from having any liking for our colors yet many who witnessed the coming of the Army of Occupation secretly welcomed the Flag of Liberty in their midst. It was a fearful downfall to American Flag wave over the castles of the Rhine. yet down in their hearts they knew wherever the Yankees were stationed that law and order would prevail.
 The Submarines
 The surrender of their deadly in struments, such as the submarine, that scorpion of the ocean, which sent women and children and civilian non- combatants to their death, was per- haps the most bitter pill of all and when these instruments of warfare are seen at our docks with the Amer ican Flag waving proudly over the

It is the emblem of equal opportunity to all and wherever it may wave it means freedom and happiness to all who are willing to do right.
 We all have pride in the beauty of our national emblem and a still great CT pride in the principles it stands for and every American on foreign soil is thrilled with the sight of the Stars and Stripes. II is the prettiest emblem of them all and it now floats in every part of the world as a mes sage of the liberty and the goodwill of the greatest nation that time has created. Since the war 1t has been raised somewhere in every land.
 After the Spanish-American War we made our boast that the sun never sets on the American Flag for it flies over our embassies and consulates in every part of the world. This is espe- Giaily true of the present-day. for in addition to this we now have flags with our troops which are scattered over the entire globe and in every land wherever freedom is desired some native will secure an American Flag and let it wave in the breezes.

GERMANY WANTS
TO DISPOSE OF
WAR MATERIAL

With the American Forces in Ger
many Correspondence Associated
Press. )-How to dispose of war ma
terial worth many millions of marks
is problem confronting German mill
tary authorities. Press reports from
various parts of Germany indicate that
great masses of guns and other war
material are rusti. 7 on old drill
grounds or are being sold for junk
Illustrated papers recently published
a photograph of an enormous stack of
shell damaged cannon which were to
be broken up in Westphalia for the
metal. Newspapers say that on the
old artillery drill ground at Oldenburg
there are more than 1000 wagons and
guns in various stages of wreck, await
ing purchasers. Some of the editors
have been demanding that something
be done at once to get old baggage
wagons and other former war vehicles
into the hands of the farmers who are
much in need of wagons.
Article 169 of the Peace Treaty
states that within two months of the
coming into force of the present treaty
German arms, munitions and war ma
terial. including anti-aircraft material
existing in Germany in excess of the
quantities allowed, must be surrend-

Italian Foreign Minister Resigns
on Account of Incident; Gov
ernment Unable to Cope With
D1AnnunZiO's Insurgents.
AMERICAN MARINES
ARE AWAITING ORDERS
Italian Soldiers Continue to Join
D'AnnunziO; Correspondents
Say Food Supplies in Fiume
Sufficient For Three Months.

Rome, Sept. 23.-Tomasso Tittoni.
Italian foreign minister has resigned
because of the Fiume incident, accord
ing to an announcement by the Gior-
male dTtalia
London Sept. 23.-ItaIy which was
given a free hand to handle the prob
lem arising out of the seizure of Fiume
by Captain d'Al-iIunzio as a domestic
affair is said in reports current here
to have made an appeal to the allied
powers to take the matter off her
hands and send force to Fiume to ex-
pei the insurgent troops from the city.
1t is claimed Italy has stipulat I that if
such a force is sent to the Adriatic city
it must not include Italian units.
1t is improbable, according to the re-
port that American troops will partici-
pate in such an operation if it is order
ed, there being no soldiers available for
such purpose. American marine con-
tingents now in the Adriatic have not
taken any part in any activities there
and it is said they will not be called on
to do so unless positive instructions
come from Washington or the peace
conference in Paris.
Reports from Fiume seem to be con-
flicting. One states that General Bad
oglio, deputy chief of staff who was
sent from Rome TO deal with the STU
alton, has established a Gordon about
the city while the Jugo-S Slav delegation
in Paris asserts d'Annunzios forces
have extended their zone of occupation
having advanced into -Slavia sew
en- miles on Sunday. 1t appears, how
ever the reported blockade of the city
is not particularly effective, it being re-
ported that train load of supplies has
reached Fiunsen. Another dispateh says
four more cor rlpanies on Italian solaiers
joined Captain dAnnunzio Saturday
and Sunday. Dispatches from Trieste
declare the commander of the French
ships in the harbor has notified Capt.
dAnnunzio that if the stores forming
the base of the French Serbian trops
at Fiume are molested, he will order
his ships to open fire on the city.
Rome, Sept, 23.-The postponement
of the reopening of the Italian parlia-
ment from September "a to September
81 is poir ted out by some newspapers
as indicating the gravity of the situa-
ton. According to some others this
step was taken to give President VIII
son time TO answer Italian proposals in
order that Foreign Minister Tittoni
might make a definite statement rela-
tive to Fiume, hoping that in the mean
while that the d'Annunzio incident
might be settled.
