not forgotten, for his wartime
experience has always remained to
him one of his finest memories.
But it has remained only as a
memory and has not been passed
ON to his sons. When the old
soldier died, with him has died
practically all he learned to win
a victory. 1t happened after the
Revolution, after 1915, after the
Civil War.
There is something fine in the
attitude of putting behind oneself
past achievements and resolutely
facing the future in place of liv-
ing in the past, but in 1917, when
the nation in great crisis found
that it took more than a year to
put electives in the field, it was
realized that this sentiment was
alloyed with something foolhardy,
something almost selfish.
So the anniversary of Chateau
Thierry finds the American army
preparing to bequeath the lessons
of costly sacrifice to those who
will comprise the nation. And al
though the correspondence school
courses in military training insti-
tuted by the War Department to
teach these lessons were announc-
ed only a few months ago, there
are now about 10000 men en-
rolled.
Neglected Lessons of Civil War
AS the plans for training a
civilian reserve against future
emergencies take form, students
of military affairs lament the fact
that little if anything was done
to conserve the knowledge gained

for every day of conflict avoided

$30,000,000 and many lives.
In fact it is acknowledged had
Germany known that America

Shortly after the Civil War,
France, then a great militarized
nation of Europe, hastily withdrew
from Mexico at the mere sugges-
tion from the United States that
such course would be advisable.
France knew that America had
trained men, northern and south
ern, in numbers that could sweep
her out of the Western Hemis-
phere.
But this generation of trained
men passed ong was mustered out,

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 5.-The

more than 100 yards from the city's
western limits, the banks of the

he little more than white ele-

I Formation of the island, now
know as Mud island, was begun
seyeral years ago upstream from
Bthe city's old boat landing, which

Etinuous through March, April and

feceeded the engineers have found
that big area, almost 400 yards

been added to the southmost end.
Dredges Keep Channel Open
1t now is several blocks below
the Memphis wharves, SO that a
hchannel scarcely more than 100
yards wide is left for boats to en-

open only through constant use of
,dredges, two of which have been
recently put to work, with both day
|and night shifts.
Many suggestions have been made
as to possible use of the new land
by the city. The subject frequent
ly has been discussed by the City
Club and other organizations. En-
gineers said some time ago that the
island was not stable enough to
warrant its use for permanent
buildings. However, since 1T has

Proposals have been made to

send you neatly mimeographed
sheets with full information.
After you have been duly en-
rolled for the elementary tactics
and technique of your branch of
the service-or, If you are above
the grade Of major, in advanced
tactics and technique-you will re-
ceive your first lesson assignment
sheet. After your study of the
text, collateral reading, and COM
pletion Of written exercises, you
will send back to your corps area
headquarters your written work.
This will be corrected and return-
ed to you, with your grade for
the lesson, together with another
assignment sheet. And You will
follow through, reviving to memo
ry the lessons of the battlefield,

The War Department, the corps

Four years ago this week Ameri-
cans at Chateau Thierry were
winning the most important
battle of kistory's greatest war.
The world rang with their
praises when at the little city

the German armies when a
further advance might have
meant a fnaI allied disaster.
From this moment the allied
forces held the Germans
throughout, and rapidly passed
to a victorious offensive. How
the War Department ia teaching
10000 men through correspond

Americas after-war attitude not

the lessons learned from conflict,
has always been that of the negro

IS BEATEN UP BY

PARIS, Sept. 25.-Georges Carpen- tier, heavyweight champion boxer oi Europe and the idol of France, went down to defeat Saturday in ifs tic encounter with Battling Ski the Senegalese f'ghter, in the sixth round of what v IS to have been a twenty-round n itch. The gritty Frenchman never had a chance after the third round. At the beginning of the sixth he was barely able to re- spond to the bell, his right eye be- ing completely closed and his nose broken as the result of a terrible gruelling given him by the Sene- galese. Unable to put up any sort of guard in the sixth round, he was the helpless victim of the negro, who planted series of terrific rights to Carpenters head. The French idol sank heavily to the floor. Car pentier's defense was gritty but useless, though he tried by every trick of his ring experience to stave off defeat.

SEATTLE, Sept. 25.-Plans for extending the tourist season in AL aska are being given serious con- sideration by officials of the Ad- miral Line, it was stated at the office of the Company today. Hither- to the season of Alaska travel has been confined to July and August This year it extended two weeks longer, considerable travel being noted during September It is hoped that two additional weeks can be added next year.

INTERIOR MAN
 HAS FAITH IN
 THE REINDEER

An arrival on the Alameda from a visit outside for the past two months was E. Coke Hill, now of Fairbanks and formerly of Ruby, Nome and "all points north" MT. Hill is an old time Alaskan, having been prominent ly identified with the early history of District Attorney. Returning now from a trip through California, MT. Hill is going back over the Govern ment Railway to Fairbanks, where he is a practicing attorney. Incidentally, MT. Hill has taken the mail contract for this winter from Kobe to Flat, serving the Kantishna and Iditarod country, and superseding the route of last year. which took the mail from Nenana to Ruby and thence south. MT. Hill, who for many years before he came to Alaska, was identified with the cattle business, is enthusiastic in his belief in the reindeer industry as one of the great developments which are due to be realized in Alaska with in the next ten years. Further, he has unlimited faith in the eventual agricultural development of the in- terior. "I haven't the least doubt Ill the world" he said, "that the time will come when Alaska will be ship ping out great quantities of meat and dairy products. I may not live to see it, but the thousands and thousands of acres of tillable land in the delta country along the interior are one day certain to be a great agricultural re- zion. It is the logical destiny of the country"
 Mr. Hill reports that considerable mining activity is proceeding steadily through the mineral district of the in terior, dredging operations having been quite successful, especially at Ophir. Asked if he would consider minerals and fish as Alaska's princi- pal potential industries, MT. Hill re- iteratpd his faith in the reindeer: reindeer "There is no reason that I can see why we should not be putting u2 canneries for reindeer meat within very short time. And then" he added. Chow about the timber-and the paper pulp possibilities? I should certainly include them in any count or Ilaska's resources"
