GERMANY BARS OWN OFFICERS
Former Naval Men Are in Disgrace
T" Seek Employment in United
States.

London. EngfAnd.-Former German
naval officers. even those who SERVED
on German warships in the battle "
Jutland, are in disgrace in Germany,
say some Of them who have arrived
here. The captain of cruiser which
fought in the Jutland battle and a
German naval lieutenant came into
the Thames the other day as officers
of a Swedish cargo boat. Both said 1t
was almost impossible for former ma
val officers to make living in their
own country.
I'VE are considered to be in dis
grace" said one. 1.-THE business COIN
munity believes that the fleet betrayed
the fatherland and caused its ruin,
and the result is that no German trad
err or ship owner will employ us. Many
of us, therefore, have been forced to
take service abroad and several have
found employment In the American
mercantile marine"

service are convinced that women are

Miss Dove is the only member of her

From June until late October Miss
Dove lives on the summit of Devils
Head peak. $500 feet high above sea
level and 65 miles southwest of Den

From sunrise to sunset Miss Dove
scans the horizon. sweeping the thou
sands of acres of forest land beneath
her powerful glass, constantly aleH

There are no Sundays Or holidays

[ AL SERVICE HIT
Fourteen States Have No Militia,
Reports General Carter.
Strength Of 5000 Is Shown, a.
Against 106,300 Men Authorized
by the Government.

Observation-Disclosures states had
no National Guard troops recognized
BY the federal government on June 30,
according to the annual report
of Maj. Gen. Jesse Carter, chief Of
the militia bureau, just made pub
lie. They were Arkansas, Delaware,
Illinois. Indiana, Louisiana, Massachu.
sets, Montana. Nebraska, Nevada,
New Hampshire, New Mexico North
Dakota, South Dakota and West Vir-
ginia.
The recognized units of the guard
had total strength of $500 officers
and men at the end of the fiscal year,
the report said, against an authorized
strength of 10000, great difficulty
having been encountered in obtaining
recruits during the year. General Car
ter noted general public antipathy to-
ward military affairs as among influ-
ences against which the reorganiZa-
ton of the guard was proceeding. Dis
content with the National Guard serv-
ice, he added, had been fostered by
'tales of unfair treatment during the
war spread by men with grievances
many of which found their way into
the public press"
Such complaints, General Carter
said. could not be substantiated upon
investigation.
"There is conclusive proof" he con-
tinued, that National Guard officers
were not, as class, Disseminated
against by Regular officers. Individual
cases of injustice have been cited by
members of congress and of the Ma
tional Guard to make 1t appear that
unjust discrimination existed gem
orally. As a general rule National
Guard officers were treated with more
consideration than were regular Off
GERS under the same conditions.
Causes which retarded recruiting
have been gradually overcome with
the result that in June more than
$500 new men were obtained, the re-
port said.
Jealousies between National Guard
units returning from overseas and
those organized as home forces DUR
ing the war have arisen, the report
said, the latter wishing to continue
as guard troops and retain possession
of the armories. Steps to remedy this
situation are being taken. General
Carter said.

In Defense Of the Country Doctor.

Lexington, Ky.-That the old fash.

is the opinion of DR.. A. 7. Mccormack

country doctor there are many COM
munities which would be so far from
medical aid that untold suffering

Reindeer Industry Of the North 10
Growing Rapidly and There 10 an
Insistent Call for Experienced
Frontiersmen.

San Francisc0.A-From the wild
North comes the call for the sons OF
the old wild West.
And with his swagger and trappings
the man of the ranges Is preparing to
answer the call. From Montana, Cal.
ffornia, Oregon, Nevada and the Da.

of civilization, the subarctic barrens
of Alaska. .
Instead of Texas longhorns they will
punch" the pronghorns of the Be
ring, the Alaskan reindeer. In place
of tlaring chaps and Tapping sombre-
ros, they will wear heavy boots, three
pairs of sox, parkas and heavy fur
caps. They will ride behind swift
Eskimo dogs or hike it on snowshoes.
The call for experienced, seasoned
frontiersmen is insistent, for the rein
deer industry of the north is pretty
closely following the historical devel-
opment of the old western range.
Herds Total 100000.
The so scrubby, half-starved rein
deer imported into Alaska from Sibe-
ria in 1902 by the government. as an
experiment in food supply for the ma
tiveS, have grown to nearly 100000
head at present, valued at approx
mately $50 each. 1t is expected that
within Is years the herd will number
between ten and twenty-five millions,
the grazing capacity of Alaska.
Already the industry is being con-
sidered as serious competition for the
big meat packers of the United States.
Last year only 1,70O carcasses were
shipped; 11,000 will be shipped in
1920, it is estimated.
Five cold-storage plants, with ca
pacity of 1000 to 5000 carcasses each,
are now in operation, with more in
contemplation, and refrigerator ships
are to be put on between Seattle and
Alaska Immediately.
Leaders in the new industry say the
herds will increase 125 per cent every
three years, so that. in Is years. S.OO0,-
600 carcasses will be shipped yearly
The meat, selling now at IS cents per
pound wholesale, will then sell at IS
cents per pound retail. according to
Jafet Undertook, largest private own

Feed Upon Moss.
Reindeer can be raised in Alaska
at little or no cost other than their
care. They feed upon the reindeer
r1nss and one man can care for 1000
head.
Each year rodeos, similar to the IA
nous old ''round-ups" Of the wild
West days. are held From hundreds
of miles around, natives drive in be-
hind their swiftest reindeer, head
