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 a coronet with towering
mountains in the background. 1t 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 1t 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 Baranoff so
much trouble.
Long before the boat stops at Sitka,
one can see the rocky eminence on
which Baranoff 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 as a National
Monument to commemorate the Rus
sian victory over the Indians.

ditions says, their p~rogenitors. 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 IN 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

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 boxes are carefully carved and

No Flags Carried In Battle
International Syndicate.

During the present war the flags
were not taken on the battlefields, at
least by any of the Allied nations and
there was none OF the spectacular acts
of Saving the colors" which were en-
acted in former wars. The flags were
carried to certain places near the front
and left there while the men went
into battle so non ever reached the
trenches unless they were tiny ones
owned by individual soldiers. This
was because the Allies did not wish
Germany to know just what regiment
or even what nation they were fight
ing. OF course each regiment had It's
own flag which was always carried
in reviews, marches, etc, and some of
these flags were decorated especially
by the French, who have always re-
garded the Americans as the people
who came to save their land from the
Huns.
They seemed nearer to the United
States than to any of the other ma
tons, perhaps because of Lafayette's
aid in our fight for freedom of more
a century ago.. When 1t became
known that the "Yanks are coming"
the residents of every little French
secured an American Flag and
hung 1t out beside their own to give
our boys the welcome they deserved,
and when the boys reached these lit

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 a beaver. The whale totem
is noted up and down the Pacific
Coast. 1t is many feet high, covered
with moss and lichen and a great
black whale is perched on top. Chief
Katishau has two deliberately carved
totems painted In dull reds, blues and
black before his somewhat modern
residence. and Chief Shake takes pride
in a tall pole with a 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

It is the headquarters of the halibut

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

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 Wa 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
blames the United States for winning
the wal and our President for many
of the Peace terms, it was perhaps a
worse blow to their pride than when
the United States Marine Corps Flag

historical page. Thirty-five officers
and ~privates were given the distin-
guished silver cross just after they

their honors with their flags flying, a
flag which is now a familiar sight IN
that land once so brutalized by the

In The Frozen North
In far off Siberia our Flag waves
every day when our men go out for a
| like in either Vladivostok or Arch
angel. Those at the latter place have
had many skirmishes with the Bolshe-
Wiki and unfortunately a number OF
| Americans have been killed. The peo-
pie in that section are mostly Russian
peasants who have come to regard
the American Flag as the greatest
emblem in the world. 1t is so cold
there and Russia in such a democrat
lied 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 V~ladivostock 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 acros the Pa
cifc 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 a hike with the American Flag
flying. The children are particularly
fond of our Flag and look upon it as
the one under which they nay some
time live. They are rapidly learning
English from the soldiers and many
of them declare hat they are saving
their kopecs to come to the beautiful
United States. So when the peace OF
the world is finally settled and immi-
grafton once more opens up people
from all parts of the world will flock
to this country and "the land-@f 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. 4.

narrow canyon filled with water and
bordered by wonderful blue mountains

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

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 IN 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 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-
flished an Indian town called Metla-
