SGT SOMETIMES fancy" says James

- SOMETIMES fancy, says James
Il Stephens, "that if | had had the
misfortune to be born polar bear or an
Eskimo l would not have been a patriot"
But why mott DIR. S. Hall Young, who
probably knows as much about polar
bears and EskimOs as any man, has al
WAYS found them more interesting than
some patriots. In some more of his Ad-
ventures in Alaska he is not so fialtering
to walruses. In fact, from what Dr.
Young SAYS of the walrus, we must be-
lieve Mr.. Stephens should have confined
his philosophical observation to this AMI
NAL alone DR.. Young seems to think
Lewis Carroll is the only man who ever
succeeded in getting the true comical conf
pick of the walrus.
The war has so swallowed up every
other other adventure 10 the past five
years that DR.. Young's new book is like
breath from the past, and a welcome one.
1t takes us back to those days before the
war, when the world was young and went
jOyously stampeding for gold in Alaska.
DR.. Young was at Dawson, and he was
at Nome, of which this book gives an ac-
count. He also was with John Muir in
Alaska, but that was another story. HIS
Alaskan experiences cover forty years.
There are some good dog stories in the
new volume and some superfine bear
stories, one of the latter about nina and
the Three Bears putting Goldilocks and
her friends forever in the shade. Here is
Nina's story: She was alone IN her
cabin, when looking out of her door one
morning she saw three big Kodiak bears
approaching, the biggest one on its hind
feet, and shifting around for food. Now
Nina was not in part Of the world
where she could step to the telephone and
say, Bears, Mr.. BurlesOn," and have an
immediate response. SO she took down
her gun and waited outside of the door,
while all three of the bears this time came
forward on their hind feet. We do not
know why bears on their hind feet should
be more terrifying than bears on four
feet, but this is so. Nina shot two of the
bears; one got away. She was three days
skinning the bears. She had to climb n
tree to adjust the block and tackle to
move their huge carcasses.
One almost forgets while reading DR..
Young's book that his principal business
in Alaska has been what Huck Finn called
"missionarin' around" and that perhaps
his particular interest," In the walrus hunt
was to be able to present an ivory gavel
to a gentleman called a moderator Of a
General Assembly. DR.. Young's parish"
covered a good deal of ground. One win

CAPTIVE YANKS PRINTED
OWN 'BARBED WIRELESS

Even the discomforts and actual
hardships of the German prison camp
failed to dishearten the American
soldier and proof of this is that al

he had no printing press the irrepres-
sible Yank prisoner succeeded in get

armistice was declared soon after the
advent of the first edition of the la

with the liberated Americans making
their way towards home the paper
made no second appearance. One
soldier preserved the original copy,
however, and several of its interest

cularly dull within the enclosure,

GENERAL PERSHING'S CABLE
To Commander Evangeine Booth Of the
Salvation Army in the United States

WISH to express to you my sincere APP
probation and that Of all members OF
the American Expeditionary Forces for
the splendid services rendered by the
Salvation Army to the American Army
in France. You first submitted your plans
to me in the summer of 1917, and before
the end Of that year you had a number
Of huts in operation in the training area
Of the First Division and group of de-
voted men and women who laid the foun-
dation for the affectionate regard -ins
which the workers Of your organization
have always been held by the American
soldiers The outstanding features, Of the,
work of the Salvation Army have beenitss
disposition to push its activities as far as
possible to the front and the trained and
experienced character of it's workers,
whose one thought was the well being of
its soldiers they came to serve. While the
maintenance of these standards has neces-
sarily kept your work within narrow
bounds as compared to some of the other
welfare agencies, it has resulted in de-
gree of excellence and self-sacrifice in the
work performed which has been second
to none. It has endeared your organiza-
ton and its individual men and women
workers to all those divisions and other
units to which they have been attached
and has spread their good name to every
part Of the American Expeditionary
Forces. Please accept message to each OF
your workers.
