MAN-OF WAR TOSSED
 ABOUT BY EARTHQUAKE

Dispatches stating that six dread naughts of the Pacific fleet were shak . en by an earthquake off the coast of Mexico recalls an amazing incident in the annals of the American navy in which a United States man of-war was carried three miles up the coast, two miles inland. and set down, en- tirely unharmed. upon the beach, within a hundred feet of the Andes, :" says a bulletin from the Washington Headquarters of the National Geogra- phic Society.
 This thrilling incident is recounted in communication to The Society by one of the participants, Rear Admiral L G. Billings, L. $. N. retired. as fol- lows:
 Tn 1868 I was attac ched to the U. s. s. Wateree, then on duty in the South Pacifc-one of class of boats built at the close of our Civil War to ascend the narrow torturous rivers of the South; she was termed double end CT having a rudder at each end. and was quite flat-bottomed-a conforma- . tion which, while it did not add to her seaworthiness. enabled her to carry a large battery and crew, and eventually saved our lives, in the catastrophe which was soon to come upon us

 There lurked the ever present fear in the ma tive mind of another earth quake, for Africa seemed sort of head center for such seismic dis turbances, having been twice before destroyed with great loss of life.

RECORD OF THE A. E.F.

It is doubtful If any force of e.eG0 = on1 men in military service in a for eigu country could have come out with as clean record as has been shown by the American expeditionary force in France According to the in vestizatiors Of court martiaIs held abroad. 1t is shown that ten men out Of our army of 100000 paid with their lives the penalty Of having com Rnitted great wrongs. The record is that nine American soldiers were hanged one was shot for violation of criminal laws Two of the hangings were for murder, six for assault and one soldier was shot for desertion.
 The men were from every. state and from some of the island possessions, from every walk of life. and in the thronz every religion and every be- lief that combatted religion were found There were men with crimi- nal records and men who never had violated any sort of law. There were white men. black men. Indians and orientzls- Two millions of these men were taken away from their homes and families. They were placed under an iron discipline that was new to the ma jority and irksome to many. Their environment was changed and they were subjected to severe tests of courage day after day. It is a great wonder that more of them were not guilty of wrong doing. So much was going on around them that was strange: 90 many temptations were placed before them. in spite of all their officers and the welfare workers could do-

OPENING UP ALASKA.

One more of the lands ot romance which once was to be sought only by hardy adventurous spirits, is to be made available to any one with the price of a railroad ticket when the new government railway to Alaska is completed.
 The old Alaska of winding trails, towering mountains. roaring cataracts, and impenetrable forests was closed to all but the hardest of the race who were drawn by the lure of gold and the pioneering spirit; yet it drew men by the thousands. Alaska will still be far enough away to appeal to the young men of mettle who want to break away from the avenues and electric lights and cabarets and set up their tents under strange stars.
 Alaska has miles of awe inspiring scenery, thousands of acres of ag- ricultural and timber land. great mines and still greater mineral de- posits to be developed. millions of tons of coal untouched. and exten- sive and richly paying fisheries.
 The government road. when finish ed. will connect Seward, at the ex- treme south of Alaska. with Fair banks, some four hundred miles to the north. The total cost of the road is about s45. 900, 900.
 With the new railway completed, the adventure of Alaska will offer reasonable assurance of good business returns.
