CONDITIONS MUCH BETTER

Late reports from Skagway are to the effect that a majority Of the people of that town who had been afflicted with the influenza had ul- ly recovered and been released from 1uarantine; that those who are stll detained by the health officer expect to be out n a few days, and, that no new cases are being brought to the attention of the au- thorities.
 Tais is gratifying news indeed, and welcomed by the people of SourtheIR Ynkon, not alone because uf the promise it brings of an early abolishment of the quarantine reg uIations now in force that threat ened at one time to become a seri- ouS menace to the approaching summers business throughout tn territory, but for the pleasure We experience in the knowledge that the tnhabitants of our neigh boring town at the head of Lynn canal are again in condition to resume their usual aVocations and pursuits in lifl
 Notwithstanding the columns of matter. over topped by sensation al scare heads appearing in the Dawson News in relation to the pre- valence of inf1ueuza in Whitehorse and Carcross, there has never de- VeloDed a single case in either of these towns, and the only results Of the quarantine, practically put into effect through the demands of Dawson people who had been influ- enced by articles above referred to, are that several thousands of Gol- lars of government money have been disbursed in what everyone who is familiar with the actual situation charterizes as a farci- cal attempt to put in force meas- ures for which there was not then, nor IS there now, any real need Whitehorse Star.

SAMUEL WooDFlLL, First Lieutenant, Company M,
 6Oth Infantry.

Three acts of conspicuous daring in one day near Gunel, , France. October l2, 1918, won the Distinguished Service Cross for Lieut.. W0udtill. While he was leading his coHpany against the enemy his line came under heavy machine gun ire, which threatened 10 hold up the ad- vance. Followed by two soldiers at twenty-five yards, this officer went out ahead of his first line toward q machine gun nest ant worked his way around Its flank, leaving the two soldiers in front. When he got within ten yards of the gun it ceased firing and four of the enemy appeared, three of whom were shot by Lieut.. Woodtin. The fourth, an officer, rushed at Lieut.. Wood fill, who attempted to club the |. officer with his rife. After q hand-to-hand struggle, Lieut.. , Woodfill killed the officer with his pistol. His company there unOn continued to advance until shortly afterward another ma chine gun nest was encountered. Calling his men to follow, Lieut.. WoOdiill rushed ahead Of his ! line in the face of heavy fire from the nest, and when several of the enemy appeared above the nest he shot them, capturing , three other members of the crew and Sileucing the gun. A : few minutes later this officer, for . the third timn, demonstrated !. conspicuous daring by charging , another machine gun position, killing five men in one machine , gun pit with his rife. He then drew his revolver and started to jump into the pit when two other gunners only a few yards away turned their gun on him. . Failing to kill them with his revolver, he grabbed a pick ly- ing near by and killed both of them. Inspired by the excep- tIonal courage displayed by this officer, his men pressed on to their objective under severe shell and machine gun fire. Lieut.. Woodfn is married and lives at 167 Alexandria Pike, Fort Thomas, Ky,

Great Britain's Power

The British empire will have five
votes in the full league but only one
in the executive council. Each of
Britain's self-governing colonial pos
sessions will get a separate vote in
the full league, but the United King
dom alone Will have one vote in the
council.
This disposes, in the view of ad-
ministration senator's. of the argu-
ment that British power would be
increased out of all proportion by
creation of the league under the
proposed constitution.
