 Capt. Charles Thornback. of Daw- son, was awarded the Military Cross by the British War Office for gal lantry in the bloody battle of Sep

 with other Canadian troops. Dawson and Whitehorse people have taken steps to secure for those two towns suitable souvenirs of the

 at Seattle of influenza. She contract ed the disease at Vancouver, but
 had so far recovered, that she went to Seattle, where she was visiting with relatives when she died. Word received at Dawson was that the holidays just passed were the most joyous ever spent at that place. Both the white and native people celebrated, in good, old-fashioned istyle.

RIFT IN THE Lutte

There is a rift in the lutte in North
Dakota the political bells are out OF
tune. Three Non-partisan league en-
dorsed state officials have joined in
declaring against two bills passed by
the last legislature and they ask that
the people, in the forthcoming referen-
dunn election, veto them.
The bills in question create board
of administration for the control OF
all penal and charitable institutions,
and the public schools, and that
which concentrates all officials and
legal printing into one newspaper IN
each county, such newspaper to be
chosen by the state printing commits
sion.
Attorney General William LANCER,
who declared his opposition to the
bills several days ago. is joined by
Carl Kositzky, state auditor, and OBJ
ert Olson, state treasurer, in condemn
ing the two bills. They term the le-
gislation dangerous to the league pro-
gram" of industrial laws passed by the
legislature. -Mankato Free Press.

GREEKS ARE SNOWY.

Kings, presidents and premiers
have ceased to be novelty at the
peace conference, in Paris, but the
bodyguard of Premier Venizelos OF
Greece. never fails to attract great
crowds. At the hotel where the Am
erican delegation is house and at the
foreign office. Venizelos' approach
IS always heralded by the arrival OF
one of his Cretan soldiers arrayed
more brilliantly than comic opera
bandit. The Cretans who escort the
Greek statesman are all more than six
feet tall and apparently have been
chosen from various organizations as
a different man appears daily, and the
same uniform is never seen twice. The
swarthy Cretans all have small wax
ed mustaches twisted into up-turned
noints. and stand rigidly at attention
for hours while awaiting M. Venizelos
at the entrance to the hotel or the
foreign office. The jibes or small
bovs and the jokes of various allied
soldiers who gather in wonderment
never seem to disturb the imperturb-
able Cretans. Perhaps the most start
ling uniform worn by one Of the
Guards consisted of white tights bound
by tasselled black silk cords at the
knees, red velvet blouse and sash,
4 red fez surmounted by black silk
tassel so long that it fell below the
waist and black sandals with upturn-
ed toes topped by great black silk
pompoms. This costume was complet-
ed by an ivory handled knife two feet

HIS WAR SPOILED

High finance in Little Italy has
been triumphantly mastered by the st
Paul Home Service section OF the AM
erican Red Cross since a discharged
soldier who looked like Andreadel Sar-
TO and chartered like magpie rushed
there for assistance.
His name was Antonio Pettln,
When he went to war, he said, ne had
left his alarm clock, seven chickens
and his dog with his friends, the
Fabrinis. Now that he had come back
they refused to give them up.

alarm or my chickens" ne explained.
"But that leetle dog eef ! not get
heem back" Tony almost sobbed, the
war be spoiled for me-"
The Red Cross investigated.
Tony, his dogs landlord said, had
agreed to pay $40 per month board for
the pup. Seven whole months had
gone by and Clip was being held Tor
$40 ransom. The alarm clock was
still ticking on, waiting for the day OF
settlement.
But the chicken! Repeated question

long and thrust carelessly into the
sash. The knives and swords worn by
the Cretans are the chief feature of
the uniform and make collectors of
antique weapons very envious. They
are of all sizes and shapes and have
sheaths of great splendor, jewelled
and carved in a marvellous manner.
Some of the guards are bare-kneed
and have costumes not unlike the
Scotch in style but much gaudier in
color. Others wear marvellously de-
corated leggings reaching far above
the knees. Capes of oriental hues are
frequently worn by the Cretans and
add to the brilliancy of the Greek uni
forms which make fancy uniforms OF
the French and English look sombre.

The world is so full of number OF
Huns
I'm sure we should all take good care
of our guns.
Oh. a tent is a wonderful place
When the smokel blows all about
And the rain comes down in little
drops
And puts the fire out!
The pen beneath our billet floor
Has two pigs in it. maybe more;
We're never seen them, but we know
That that's where all the leavingS go.
The goats a pleasant animal,
Who eats most anything at all;
He steals the cookies and the string
And always smells like everything.
I'm glad I do not like to fight,
It's nasty to shed blood
And march all night without light,
Especially if there's mud.
It's very wrong to be about
At 9 o'clock when sergeant looks
To see whose blankets are not out
And find someone to help the cooks.
In drill time it is very nice
To whip the cream and chop the ice,
To fetch the water and the wood,
And help the cooks prepare the food.

confession that Tony's chickens had
been eaten.
A bill was put in for the chickens, a
bill for the board of the dog. The
Home Service office of Fourth and
Market was the scene of the final
transaction.
The sum which Toney still owed was
paid minus the value of seven prize
chickens and slight concession for
the use of the alarm clock. Inc Fa-

Federal Ownership
But Private Operation
Urged by labor Men

Washington, Feb. -. Railroad labor
interests today proposed government
ownership and privaet operation by
one large corporation, comparatively
organized.
Testifying before Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee, G.. A. Blum. of
Chicago. recommended that the gov
ernment acquire all railroad prop
erty at price fairly representing the
valuation and trust the operation to
a corporation to be operated jointly
by employees, the operators, and the
government.
The plan, it was argued, would pro-
vide cheaper financing, remove rail-
road operation from partisan policies,
arrange conflicts between federal and
state authorities.
The corporation would be subject
to regulation by Interstate Commerce
Commission.

Various states have recently prOvid.
ed or are contemplating providing
alrge sums Of money for highway i'm
provement. This is notably shown In
the recent and proposed bond issues.
Last November the people of Illinois
by majority over 100000 approved q
$60,000,000 bond issue to build $1,000
miles of state highways, the bond is.
sue to be financed by automobile fees.
Pennsylvania voted upon $60,000,0 900
bond issue with a majority Of 100000,
where five years ago bond issue then

The country is road-improvement
hungry, as may be well proven by the
foregoing bond issues. In addition it
is believed that unprecedented state
and local appropriations for highway

fore the year is over. Township. mu-
