BELGIAN STEEL
 MEN TO FORM A
 LARGE MERCER

BRUSSELS, July 1S,-(P)-Belgian industry and enterprise is far from being down and out as result of the war Manufacturers are now planning to "come back" stronger than ever before. One of the new steps to be taken by the manufac- turers will be the adoption of advanc- ed principles of organization much on the same lines as the immense American mergers.
 Out of the ruins of Belgium's vast steel industry there will spring one of the biggest combinations ever known in the commercial world. Ten or twelve of the most powerful steel corporations have decided to pool their interests into one immense un- dertaking.
 These manufacturers have made themselves familiar with the way American capitalists conduct big busi- ness and they are convinced that such plan is better for their in dustry and the Belgian steel busi- ness as a whole than their former policy of competition between some twelve large companies.

was engaged in mining operations on focal creeks and later went to the Iditarod where he remained until he left for the states last fall, taking passage on the ill-fated Sophia. He was a Mason, being member of Panama Lodge 162, of Fairbanks.
 The following account of the inter- ment is taken from the Seattle Post Intelligencer:
 Thomas McMahon, aged 5S years, whose body was recovered two weeks ago from the wreckage of the Cana dian Pacific steamer Princess Sophia, which foundered on Vanderbilt reef, twelve miles from Juneau, Alaska, was buried from Bonney-Watson's chapel yesterday afternoon. Rev. w. A. Major conducted the services un- der the auspices of the Masons, of which MT. McMahon was Thirty |second degree member.
 The body was recovered by div ing party two weeks ago and sent to Seattle at the request of his wife, Mrs. Lois McMahon, 1923 Bellevue avenue.
 Interment took place at Lake View cemetery. The pallbearers were all former associates of MT. McMahOn, who had heen a merchant in various Alaska cities since 1897 and who was making his first trip "out" since that time, when the Sophia was sunk. The pallbearers were Thomas MacEwan, Harry Leland, Percy Palmer, John Auld, Ray Longton and Grant Mur- dock.

FORMER MEMBER
 OF WHITE PASS FORCE WRITING

On the last states mail a letter was received from Lieutenant Nor man Anderson by J. A. Fairborn, written from Bordeaux, France. Lieut.. Anderson being stationed at an em. barkation camp there. He will be remembered by many Fairbanksans as member of the local White Pass office force during the season of 1917.
 At the end of the open season he went to Seattle, and the next heard from him he was in the army at a Florida post. He went in the quar- termaster corps where he was soon made corporal and assigned to stenographic duties. This didn't suit his idea of going to war, so he ef- fected a transfer to another branch of the service and by sheer merit won a commission and was sent to France.
 He writes that he expects to come back to the North as soon as pos sible. In his letter he gives a brief account of his army service as fol lows: Since joining the army in 1917 I have been doing a lot of diff ferent kinds of work. First, I was working at headquarters, Camp John- ston, Florida. On July 5, 1918, I was commissioned 2nd It. 0. M. c. and placed with negro labor troops at Newport News, Va. I remained with them about a month when I was |sent across and placed on detached service with an engineering regiment. With them I had a company of civil ian laborers. It consisted of men of fourteen different nationalities. My application was in for transfer to a pioneer engineering regiment but when the armistice was signed the application was returned. In Decem- Der, 1918, I was placed in command of a company of 300 North Chinese semi-militarized troops, under the army service corps and promoted to first lieutenant. Now I have a com pany of American soldiers and am at the port of authorization. We ex- pected to go home but at the last minute an order came thru cancelling our hOmeward trip, so right now don't know how long I will stay, except I know it won't be over three months at the most"
 MT. Fairborn says that MT. Ander- son is of the class that the Ameri- can-Yukon Navigation company are after. It is probable that he will be seen on the company's roster next season.

SEVEN HUNDRED TO ONE THOUs- AND ACRES OF HELENA FOREST ARE NOW BURNING AND THERE SEEMS BUT LITTLE CHANGE OF STOPPING THE FIRE.
LACK OF HIGH WIND IS ALL
 THAT IS SAVING THE FORESTS
THE LACK OF HIGH WINDS IS THE ONLY THING PREVENTING DES- TRUCTION OF VALUABLE TIM BIER IN NORTHERN IDAHO AND WESTERN MONTANA.

HELENA, Mont. July 1S.-(P)-Be. tween seven hundred and one thous and acres of the, Helena forest are now in flames. A high wind is fast carrying the fire to all parts of the forest and it seems the entire timbe, section is doomed.
 Scores of forest rangers as well as hundreds of volunteer fire fighters are unable to check the fires. A sudden heavy rain is now thot to be the only thing which will save the timber from utter destruction.
 COVERS BIG TERRITORY.
 SPOKANE, Wash. July 1S.-(P) = Only one thing is preventing enor nous destruction of timber. covering a great portion of northern Idaho and western Montana, and that is the lack of exceptionally high winds. Should a gale spring up there is slight chance of this valuable timber land being say ed. Already the loss amounts to a huge sum.
 Innumerable fires, scattered over g large area, are reported in the timbe, district of these states, but it is said they may be controlled providing the weather remains calm.

CONSTRUCTION
 WORK STOPPED


 CHICAGO, July 1S.~-P)-Building operations in this city are at a stand still, with but slight hope of their being resumed for several days. This condition is caused by a lockout which went into effect this morning.
 One hundred thousand members of the building trades are idle today as a result of the employers action. The original strikers were given an oppor- tunity to return to work this morn ingg, but they refused to even consider the proposition unless all their de mands were met. Following this re- fusal general lockout was declared and all building accordingly ceased.

IMMENSE PHONE SYSTEM IS RUN
 BY AMERICANS

COBLENZ, May 25.-(A. p. Cores pondence.) At the time the Ameri- cans began withdrawing from Ger many the United States army had perfected one of the finest telephone systems in Europe. From the head quarters of the Third army in Cob lenz fifty long distance lines had been set up and it is possible for the com manding general to sit in his office and talk with American officers in London, Berlin,. Vienna, Rotterdam, Brussels, Antwerp, Paris and various other points in France.
 The Army of Occupation has a tele. phone system closely resembling the best commercial system in the United States. On the top floor of the head. quarters building in COblenZ nine position switchboard was installed soon after the Americans reached the Rhine. Scattered thruout COblenz are twenty private branch exchanges of the various units of headquarters. Con. n'cted to this system are more than four hundred subscribers" in addi. tion to the fifty long distance lines.
 Within the German occupied area there has been established by the sig nal corps under the direction of Col Parker Hit, chief signal officer. net work of wires connecting the various units of the Third army. Direct lines connect with all the corps and divi- sions, approximately 16.OO0 miles of wire bring in service.
 This extensive plant has not, how ever, been built by the Third army but consists almost altogether of the German lines taken over by the signal corps and so arranged to meet the needs of the army. Sufficient circuits were left, however, for the civilian population to carry on their business
 More than 15.OOO calls are register ed daily on the CoblenZ switchboard. With the establishment of exchange in Coblenz it was necessary to employ operators who could speak English. Fpanch and German. The fifteen operators on duty in Coblenz are all members of the Women's Telephone corps and have been in the service more than a year. The chief opera. tor, Miss Helen Cook, was a former employee of the American Telephone company in New York. Previous to joining the American Expeditionary Foreo, Miss Cook spent six years as instructor for the Bell system in of fees in Chicago, Minneapolis, Omaha Cleveland, Detroit and Memphis.
 The word "Doodlebug" is the code name of the Third army switchboard in Coblenz, the corps and divisions also xataining the code names that were assigned them during the war. On the back of 2O-page telephone di. rectory issued by the Third army the artists conception of doodle bug" has been reproduced in the shape of bug made up of combi- nation of sabres, rifles and an aerial bomb.
 All the apparatus. including switch boards teleDhOne instruments and In fact everything excepting the wires, is of AYcrican manufacture and Is to be taken out when the Americans in| force say goodbye to the Rhine and start for France and Home.
