raven are the chief representatives of the Indian families. and some tra- ditions says. their progenitors. They are 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 Ketchi- kan are of interest some of a higher order are found at Wrangell, the old Hudson Bay Trading Post, at which the boat stops later on. Hunters from all parts of the world assemble period

ically at this place and the tourist can sometimes pick up rare skins at this little village of about eight hundred souls. The totems at Wrangell be- long principally to the Thlinket race and the carving as a rule extend to the top of the pole. One totem is distinctive because surmounted by the image of beaver. The whale totem is noted up and down the Pacific Coast. It is many feet high, covered with moss and lichen and a great black whale is perched on top. Chief Katishau has two elaborately carved totems painted in dull reds. blues and black before his somewhat modern residence. and Chief Shake takes pride in a tall pole with frog on top, the sides of the pole being carved with the imprint of human feet ascending and descending. Some of the dwell- ings in Wrangell have two totem poles in front. one representing the male side and the other the female side of the house. In addition to Its quaint totem poles, Wrangell has some curi- ously marked graves. one being sur mounted by the huge carving of wolf.

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'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 themselves 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 its neat houses, church built by the Indians, school and saw mill. is governed by a council of natives aided by William Duncan. the founder. Many years ago this Englishman came to British Columbia as a missionary. He studied the Indian language. lived among them, taught them and estab- lished an Indian town called Metla- kahtla.
 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 1t sometimes happens that one gets a glimpse of Muir Bay. filed 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 trip on a railroad above the clouds, may purchase miniature totem poles and curios, but what fingers longest in thu memory are snowy mountain heighrH transcendent cloud effects and the glorious Aurora Borealis.

boats which in former years carried the American tourists on this river. The boats are the same and the men hear the same legends which always made the Rhine one of Europe's most attractive spots.

on German soil. One of these was when the flags of the 369th Regiment were decorated with the Croix de Guerre at Ungeshein, Alsace, the prov ince which the Germans took from France after the War of 1870. The natives, who all through these years have loved France, although they were bound down by German tyranny were delighted at the great crowds which came out to the ceremonies. This province will be given back to France by the Peace Treaty, and as Germany planes the United States for winning the war and our President for many of the Peace terms, 1t was perhaps a worse blow to their pride than when the United States Marine Corps Flag was decorated at Leutesdorf. Ger many, after the regiments triumphal march from the Marne to the Rhine.
 Along The Rhine
 The towns of the Rhine, with the castles and vineyards on either side, fairly brtstle with American Flags for a good part of the river is policed by our Army of Occupation, and wherever the men have headquarters a huge American emblem waves over 1t. At Cochem our men seem to have an unusually large flag. which flies from the castle, where many of the officers and men are quartered and the little town across the river sees it hauled up at sunrise and down at sunset. This town is on the Moselie, about twenty-four miles southwest of Cob lenZ and is one of the most beautiful and fertile places in Germany. Its castle is said to be one of the largest in that section and is the headquarters of the American Fourth Army Corps. All along the Rhine and it's tributaries | the American boys keep watch.

German Flag 1t is wormwood and gall to the Huns souls. These submarines are even being made recruiting sta- tions for our Navy and a large num- Der of young men after going through the deadly boats have at once enlisted in order that the sea may be kept free from German submarines forever. At present there Is one of the largest type at a dock in tho Brooklyn Navy Yard. It was surrendered to the Brit ish by the terms of the armistice and interned at Harwich, England, for q time. It is the U111, and because of it's large cruising radius Is thought to have been one of the submarines that did such deadly work on the American Coast in 1918 and for this reason Great Britain gladly permitted 1t to be shown in this country with the American Flag waving above its periscope. Another spent some time in Baltimore and Annapolis and served as a recruiting office while still others were anchored at Boston and places farther south. All these are of the latest type and show the large amount of time and money which nave Deeu spent on lnelr building and which in the mind of the hated and cruel Won Tirpitz were to win the war for Germany.
 Our Flag has been carried along with England's emblem into St. Paul's Cathedral, and they still fly in many places side by side. In France it Is said that it is as common a sight as the French Flag and Is frequently saluted by civilians as they pass on the street.

M @ E may have advised as to our AAH meddling in the affairs of w other nations, or how we may be able to escape our share of the responsibility for the peace of the world, it is certain that the American Flag today commands more respect from all nations than ever before. 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. It is the prettiest emblem of them all and 1t now floats in every part of the world as mes- sage of the liberty and the goodwill of the greatest nation that time has created. Since the war it 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 1t flies over our embassies and consulates in every part of the world. This is espe- cially 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 1t wave in the breezes.

but the American soldiers said no. They knew the men from the United States meant what they said and Lux emburg was saved from a blot on it's historical page. Thirty-five officers and privates were given the distin- guished silver cross just after they
 entered Luxemburg. They received their honors with their flags flying. a Tfiag which is now a familiar sight in that land once so brutalized by the vicious Hun.
 In The Frozen North
 | Tn far off Siberia our Flag waves every day when our men go out for a hike in either Vladivostok or Arch angel. Those at the latter place have had many skirmishes with the Bolshe- wiki and unfortunately number of Americans have been killed. The peo- | pie in that section are mostly Russian peasants who have come to regard l the American Flag as the greatest | emblem in the world. It Is so cold there and Russia In such a demoral- ized condition that they have been forgotten by their own country, so the Red Cross and the American soldier with his great emblem of freedom is looked upon as their only hope
 Over at Vladivostock the American soldier, by doing police duty, has
 saved the day for they have kept guard over the vast amount of ship ping which has come across the Pa- cific to this port. They have also helped the people, who like those of Archangel. are suffering from Russia's chaos. Every day these men go out for hike with the American Flag flying. The children are particularly fond of our Flag and look upon it as the one under which they may some time live. They are rapidly learning English from the soldiers and many of them declare that they are saving their kopecs to come to the beautiful United States. So when the peace of the world is finally settled and imni- grafton once more opens up people from all parts of the world will flock
 to this country and "the land of the
 free" and so as each Flag Day rolls
 around greater honors will be shown to our Flag, the emblem of justice and fairness to all.

our flags that it resembled a Fourth of July celebration at home. Wher- ever our men were billeted an Amer ican emblem was hung out 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 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 the pride of the Junkers to see the 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

LOndO1erS Celebrate
Victory Day Heartily

London, Aug. 22.-Londoners were
swept off their feet by the enthusiast
tic joyousness of some hundreds OF
sailors from the fleet anchored at
the mouth of the Thames and joined
SO heartily in the Victory Day dem
onstration that there was dancing
and singing in the wet, slippery
streets of the West End within an
hour Of daylight the next day.
So many thousands had gathered
for night of merrymaking in the
hotels and restaurants Of the West
End that when closing time came,
transportation systems were unable
to take them home AS all the trains
stopped soon after midnight, there
was nothing left for thousands but
to spend the night in the streets.
Great crowds gathered in the vicin-
ity of Piccadilly, Leicester Square
and Covent Garden stations, and as
it was raining gently the prospect
was dismal.
"Are we downhearted," shouted a
leather lunged sailor, and instantly
came a thunderous response from
scores of his comrades in the crowd,
which was increased by answering
shouts from soldiers and civilians.
There were many women in the
streets, some of them in the patri-
otto costumes they had worn in the
dancing earlier in the day. Intro
auctions were not necessary in that
atmosphere and at that time of night.
Neither was music as long as the
crowd could sing. So the dance was
soon in full swing. Sailors pro-
duced mouth organs, thereafter there
was music plenty.
The dancing was in the roadways,
all the way from Piccadilly to Leices-
ter Square, for the sidewalks were
thronged with other belated persons
who watched the dance and cheered
the dancers. Sailors everywhere
were the leaders, although many de-
modified soldiers joined in the fes'
tivities. Some Americans were in the
crowd. And all the time it rained.
Toward morning the people began
to tire. Some of them sought resting
places in the doorways of shops and
Office buildings, while others simply
sat on the sidewalks and leaned uI
against the buildings, to get such
protection as the caves afforded, and
went to sleep. AT some Of the more
important business houses along
Regent street, to which many of the
merrymakers drifted even sever

THE acoustics at Maui were very
bad and it was firing to sit and try to
listen to a lot of numbling or a. string
of words and not understand half of
them.
This convention is for the hand
ling of all matters of public interest
and by sticking to it will eliminate
some of the political ideas out of pub
lie affairs and get them handled from
a business and practical standpoint.

est shown by Hilo and Honolulu | am

and get the next Convention held
