there they went to France. The
4th of July they went into ac-
tive service at St. Mcneil. He
was IN active service till he was
wounded in the Verdun drive.
He was hit with a high explosive
and had his leg broken and a rib
broken. He was in the hospital
from Oct. Is till he left for the
U. S. A. He is able to walk with
the aid of a cane. Andrew said
he could not sound the praise of
the Red Cross enough. He said
they certainly made the life of a
soldier the nearest like home
life that anyone could make it.
They gave them socks, sweaters,
ETC.. all they needed: helped
them in every way they could;
fed them every place they could
meet them; on the way from
New York, where they stopped,
they met them with hot lunch,
at Austin, Mimi, he said the la
dies served them with hot cakes,
maple syrup, wieners, hot bis
cults, coffee and cigarettes. He
said words could not express the
comforts and good the Red Cross
did. He said sunny France did
not appeal to him-good old Pine
county was the best place he had
seen and the dearest place to
him. We surely are glad to see
him back. The report came back
at one time he had been killed
but later word came that he was
only wounded. He was the only
boy from here wounded.

MAIL MATTER SEIZED
Shows Anarchist Plot to Over.
throw Government.
Solicitor General Lamar Says Plane
Are on Foot to Start Bloody
Revolution.

Washington, March ia memoir
andum has been submitted to the sen
ate propaganda committee by Solicitor
General Lamar of the postoffice de-
partment stating that the I. w. w.
anarchists. socialists and others were
"perfecting an amalgamation with one
object, the overthrow Of the United
States government, and the establish
ment Of bolshevik republic"
Mr.. Lamar said his conclusion was
based upon information contained In
seized mail matter.
Accompanying the memorandum
were several hundred excerpts from
the. mail matter. Mr.. Lamar said this
propaganda was being conducted with
such regularity that its magnitude
can be measured by the bold and out.
spoken statements contained in these
publications and the efforts made
therein to inaugurate a nationwide
reign of terror and overthrow the gov
eminent"
Mr.. Lamar said It was significant
that this was the first time I'm the
history of the so-called radical move
ment in the United States that these
radical elements have found a common
cause (bolshevism) in which they can
all unite" He referred particularly to
the dissatisfied foreign elements as be-
ing active in the propaganda.
THE I. w. w." said Mr.. Lamar. rs
perhaps most actively engaged In
spreading this propaganda"

RED GROSS NURSE
 USES RAZOR ID
 AMPUIATE LEG

DRAMA, Macedonia. - With a razor, spool of cotton thread, and a small portion of ether and chloro- form, Miss Maria P. Kouroyen, an American Red Cross nurse, per formed life-or-death operation here, as the result of which and her other errands of mercy she has come to be known as "the American an- gel' by the homeless and starving Greek refugees.
 Born of Greek parents, Miss Kou- royen is graduate nurse of the Massachusetts General hospital in Boston. Because of her knowledge of Greek, the American Red Cross sent her to Macedonia, where typhus, smallpox, and cholera tread or each others heels and where the refu- gees bury their dead beneath the dirt floors of their shell-shattered shacks so that the bread cards of the dead members of their family shall not be taken up. "~=
 A Greek soldier, one of whose legs had been crushed, was brought to the boxcar on a railroad siding in which Miss Kouroyen was living Something had to be done for hir at once.
 Miss Kouroyen spent no time ir talking. Borrowing a razor from Lieutenant Abner J. Cobb of Den. yer, an American Red Cross felc worker, who was shaving by candle light in the boxcar, Miss Kouroyer anaesthetized her patient with hel small supply of ether and chloro. form, and performed an amputa. tion, using cotton thread to "tie off the arteries and veins.
 Despite the prophecy of a loca doctor that the aged patient would not live through the night, Miss kouroyen some time later received visit from her patient. He had an artificial limb made for him ir the American Red Cross artificial leg factory for Greek war mutiles in Athens.

BIG SHIPMENT OF RAILS COMING ON
 STEAMER ALASKA

The steamer Alaska, which is due to arrive in Nenana sometime to- night, is bringing, among other things, a bargeload consisting of 337 tons of rails and a few tons of perishables and general freight, con- signed to the Alaskan Engineering commission.
 The shipment of rails, although destined for Nenana,. is to be di- verted in it's entirety to Cinema, and will be used in extending the gov ernment railroad from Fairbanks toward Nenana.
 This decision to send the rails to the other end of the line was ar rived at by the Commission officials owing to the fact that the ground from the Happy end appears to have been less affected by the re- cent rains and high water than the grade at the Nenana end. Con- tractors on the Happy end would also appear to be having greater success in grading operations and it is considered likely that more grade will be completed there than at this end.
 All of the other freight consigned to the Commission will be discharged here.
The Nenana daily news., 1919-06-19

There was report in circulation in Nenana yesterday to the effect that the Panama river at McCarty was higher than ever known before. but reports from Fairbanks indicate that water conditions at that place have not been seriously disturbed as yet, and the McCarty report i; regarded. as an exaggeration.

UNCLE SAM, SCHOOLMASTER

Uncle Sam is now fully certified schoolmaster, with about 100000 khaki-clad pupils. This is the result of the establishment of the educa- tional corps of the United States army to provide training for voca- tions and academic instruction for young men in the army.
 The educational corps is under the direction of Brigadier General Rob- ert l. Rees, who militarized the American colleges last fall. Under him is an executive commission of three educators, Dr. Frank E. Spauld- ing, superintendent of schools E Cleveland; Dr. John Erskine, pro- lessor of English at Columbia; and Dr. Kenyon L. Butterfield, president of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. In all, about 7,50O in structors, including a number of men of high standing in American educa- tion, are teaching the American sol diers the way to progress. Every thing from a, b, c, to university sub jects and from stenography to engin- eering is included within the curri- culum of this great and unique col lege.
 The army schools were in full operation by January, equipped with S1,500 work of books specially or dered from America and provided in part by the American Library association. But there has been a shortage of books and often one book has had to serve for whole class.
 Many hundreds of army schools have been established throughout France wherever there are enough American soldiers to warrant Gen eral Pershing's order required a post school in every place where 300 or more men were stationed, and as the schools had to be opened at once, all sorts of queer places, from cafes to monasteries, were used as schoolroms, until regular quarters could be provided. The soldiers are studying in barns, stable lofts, aero dromes, army barracks and in one case in a convent Meantime the army is endeavoring to provide ade- quate quarters and sufficient books for it's 100000 students. In cities like Coblenz, the city school build ings are used without interfering with the regular school life of the children. =
 These post schools may be. termed the primary schools of the army educational system, though this IS inexact, as in many of these schools more advanced education is given to officers and men who are unable to leave their posts and attend the divisional schools or the university The men attend these post schools after their regular days work.
 Then every division has high school centrally located with better accommodations. Some 30,O00 men are attending such high schools. Then comes the big army university at Beaune, which will accommodate many thousands of students. Be sides there are about 5000 officers and men attending French univer- sities who have hospitably thrown open their doors to their American friends, and 2,000 more are in Eng fish universities. These university students are all men who have had at least the equivalent of two years in college.
 Obviously few men can be de tached from their own units to at tend these universities, but the post school does not interfere with mili- tary work, but is available to every soldier and thus has an important place in the educational system.
