Americans Meet

The monthly meeting of the Americans held in the Redmen's S lodge room Monday evening was we'll attended. After the read ing of the minutes of the previ- ous meeting a vocal solo was pleasingly rendered by Mrs. M. o. Johnson. The audience then listened to a patriotic recitation by Master Joel Wing. Mrs. w. w. Mclaughlin rendered a vocal solo which was received with ap. plause. A lengthy magazine ar ticle entitled Why the I. w. ". Flourishes," written bv John Spargo, was read.
 Lin Shields, an ex-service man. who formerly resided in Centralia was called upon to give some first hand information concerning the Armistice Day massacre. Mir. Shields stated that he happened to be in Seattle on Armistice Day and did not arrive in Centralia until noon the following day. In his remarks he stated with con- viction that some reports he had heard since coming North con- corning the Armistice Day mass acre are without any foundation whatsoever. At the conclusion of his remarks Mir. Shields was warmly applauded.
 In the discussion of various questions that arose, "Stonewall" Jackson had the floor several times, and his spontaneous utter ances showed that he was keenly interested in the proceedings.
 The proposed constitution and bylaws were presented, and af. ter several amendments, were adopted.
 At the close of the meeting American buttons were distribu- ted to the members.

Sojourning in California

Nelson Cole, who formerly had charge of the tin shop of P. C.. Mccormack, is now sojourning with Mrs. Cole in sunny Southern California. A letter received from the couple, under date of January ? states that they are receiving the Sentinel regularly each week and enjoy it immense ly. Their address is 205, North Flower street, Los Angeles. The following paragraph from their letter shows that they are enjoy ing themselves in that sunny cline:
 Wish all Wrangell could have seen the Tournament of Roses at Pasadena New Years Day. It was the most beautiful sight ever witnessed. Over 100 entries on which more than 10000 people had spent the better part of New Years Eve plaeingfowers, moved before 100000 visitors. It was the most gorgeous floral fete imaginable. There were IA bands, all playing. Two floats on which poinsettias had been used exclus- ively, caught the Alaskans' eyes, but what pleased the Californi- ans more was one with a bank of snow, gotten from Mt. Wilson, with which they snowballed the visitors along the line of march. This float also had a half grown brown bear that seemed to want to get into that snow pile with the rest. This New Years Day will certainly long be remembered by us.

Steve Grant Is
 Now In Germany

Mrs. s. C. Shurick has received a letter from her brother Stephen D. Grant, announcing his arrival in Germany last month. He left Seattle in October and travelled continuously. with the exception of five days in Paris, until his ar rival in Coblenz, Germany. He says Paris is a very beautiful city, and that France is a most interesting country. He further states that the French girls all seem crazy to come to America. Speaking of Germany Mr. Grant says he was surprised to find the weather there as cold as that of Alaska. Living expenses there are less than he expected while diamonds and jewelry are es- pecially cheap. One sentence in his letter sounds like the irony of fate when he says that the Am ericans headquarters are in the kaiser's palace. and that Ameri- can troops are using German gov ernment buildings. He found his voyage up the Moselle river in- teresting. The numerous dwell ing houses along the river banks are all of stone and quaint in ap- pearance. In some of the small towns he found that it was much easier to get lost than in Paris. MT. Grant states that he hopes soon to get furlough and spend the time in Alsace-Lorraine and Paris. In closing he says he could write great deal more, but it would probably be censored. His address is
 Pvt. s. D. Grant,
 Co. D, Fifteenth Infantry,
 Second Brigade, A. F. inG.,
 Maven, Germany.

Gov, Thomas Riggs Jr., was aboard the Admiral Watson which was southbound Monday. It was a disappointment to many that owing to the Watson beng be- hind schedule she did not call at this port. This was all the more regrettable because had the Wat son called here she would have been in port at the time the Am- ericans were holding their meet ing and there is no doubt that the Governor would have responded to an invitation to address the gathering. A telegram received from him expressed his regret that the vessel on which he was travelling was passing up Wran- gell.

American Legion Wins

The basket ball game which oc- cured at the Rink Tuesday even- ing under the auspices of the Am erican Legion was we'll attended. The style of the contest was Am erican Legion vs. the Lazy Five. Both sides showed the need of practice, but nevertheless the game was duly appreciated by the spectators. There was con- siderable roofing" for both sides and the fun was worth sev- eral times the price of admission. In the end the score stood 34 to 13 in favor of the American Legion.

The Sentinel has received the Christmas number of The Path finder, a monthly journal recently started by John w. Frame, grand historian of the grand igloo of Pioneers. It is superb edition replete with photographs and bi- ographical sketches of various Alaskan pioneers.
 The first two numbers have been devoted to biographies of the grand officers and of pioneers living to the Westward.
 The publication is a meritorious one, devoted to perpetuating the history of the grand old men who blazed the trails in the days when the territory was little known, and believed to be without re- sources. It will give the mem- bers of this great organization a chance to preserve their bio- graphies for future generations, and by concerted effort make the order larger and more beneficial to it's members.
 Alaskans are interested in the life of their trail blazers. Many men. too modest to narrate their hardships and adventures in the old days, will be known by their deeds, and honored for the in- trepid part they took in territori- al advancement.
 The Pathfinder should be sub- scribed for by every man or wo- man interested in Alaska. In flu. ture years it will be a wonderful biographical review of the old. timers of the Territory. By pre- serving these numbers as they appear one may secure a complete biographical sketch of every one who helped make history for us.
