are opportunities at times to obtain rare skins, but the many charms of this old Russian-American town make the purchase of trophies sink into in significance. This interesting old town seems set in coronet with towering mountains in the background. It is protected by a bay from the turmoil of the ocean and the water is dotted with hundreds of rocky and pine-clad islands. The whole forms a harbor of so much beauty that it has been likened to the Sea of Japan and the Bay of Naples. The town is a peace ful. struggling sort of place, with a few hundred houses and an interesting raucherie or Indian village in which live several hundred descendants of the tribe that once caused Baranoff so much trouble.
 Long before the boat stops at Sitka one can see the rocky eminence on which Baranof raised his castle, and near the wharf are some ancient moss covered Russian buildings. Just out side of the town Is the spot, marked with some of the best totem poles in Alaska, which Ex-President Taft caused to be set aside as National Monument to commemorate the Rus sian victory over the Indians.

No Flags Carried In Battle

No Flags Carried In Battle
 During the present war the flags were not taken on the battlefelds, at least by any of the Allied nations and there was none of the spectacular acts of saving the colors" which were en- acted in former wars. The flags were carried to certain places near the front and left there while the men went into battle so none ever reached the trenches unless they were tiny ones owned by individual soldiers. This was because the Allies did not wish Germany to know just what regiment or even what nation they were fight ing. Of course, each regiment had it's own flag which was always carried in reviews, marches, etc., and some of these flags were decorated especially by the French, who have always re- garded the Americans as the people who came to save their land from the Huns.
 They seemed nearer to the United States than to any of the other na- tions. perhaps because of Lafayette's than a century ago. When it became known that the "Yanks are coming the residents of every little French village secured an American Flag and hung it out beside their own to give our boys the welcome they deserved, and when the boys reached these lit tie towns many of them declared that the decorations were so filled with

Skaguay

Skaguay at the head of Lynn Canal, Is a town that in the early days of the gold rush seemed to spring into life in a single day, it has wonderful mountains behind it and from it starts the White Horse and Yukon Railway which leads to White Horse on the Yukon River. On the usual Inside Passage trip one either spends the day In Ska quay or takes the train on this road and goes to the International Boun- dary and back the same day. This trip affords sublime spectacle of titanic mountains, with white summits and green sides that seem hurled in confusion from the sea. From the car windows can be seen the old White Horse trail over which prospec- tors struggled with packs on their backs in their mad rush for the gold fields.
