lected answering your kind letter of a month ago-with the several enclosures.
 The pictures of the highway route and t., Richardson Highway travelOgue the latter which l walked over in 1912 making the trip from Fairbanks to Valdez brings back to me the most pleas ant p days of travel I have ever had. I made the trip alone against the advice of many of the old sourdoughs: I had previously made the trip from Whitehorse by skiff to Tanana and beat the passenger boat. A tramp out to the Fairbanks Creek and a camp for two weeks was very pleasant with all the mosquitoes. Trudg- ing along with 50-pound outfit, was hailed by road makers who asked: Where did you come from, Missouri" must have looked an old tramp When coming south on the Richardson High way I passed few camps doing road work and they certainly made nice tennis courts near the camps but I stumbled over roots on the path. They had only $90,000 to spend that year u912). I spent $200 for the four ferries and $4.25 for my food and nothing for my tent under spreading pine tree. So much for "early" history in the Northland.
 My one prayer is that may live to see the great International Highway completed. If so, I will be on hand to see the golden nail" driven in the pavement at Fairbanks. I may not get up in that house-car where you saw us near Hope. It was our second trip to Prince George but my wife says it is too much work to cook and keep a house in order on long trip. am very anxious to make the trip again this summer and get to Hazelton and beyond and get a glimpse of Premier Tolmie leading the Canadians blazing the roadway north. can only get my wife to go this time by letting her drive her car. Our girl is more anxious to get out in camp with the school girls for a month 50 we can easily leave her be- hind.
 After meeting you near Hope and learning later that you were the wheel horse" of the roads in Alaska-I was anxious to get talk with you so I was very sorry missed the chance. We were in hopes of getting as far as Hazelton, but the police at Prince George advised us to not attempt the narrower road with our larger car, so we thought it best to take their advice.
 I have a high opinion Of Ca nadian roads. They were certainly much improved on our second trip. And considering the sparse popu- lation and the long road it was very creditable work. Their gravel road bed is better stuff than the ice-age gave to this more south ern hemisphere. Likely you have good road gravel in Alaska? I take a lot of interest in concrete and do lot of dappling in it. to such an extent that I am known as Concrete Smith. In India, where I spent over half century as a dentist, I learned a good deal from British in that sort of build ing. That country gave me a taste for tramping in the noun tains, over a 1000 miles in the Himalayas with glaciers like you have in Alaska. Tramped some 600 miles in Tibet to do some den- tai work for the British military, and. '" chnsa December for Yoak-

Debt OWED TO
ANCIENT GREECE
Nearly Million English
Words Are Derivatives.
By United Press

By United Press
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, March 49,
The debt Of the English language
to that Of ancient Greece is shown
in book recently completed by
DR.. Percy w. Long Of this city.
The book entitled "The Greek Ele-
ment in the English Language" was
begun by DR.. John Convers Smock,
former state geologist of New Jersey,
at the beginning of the present
century. Upon his death six years
ago DR.. Long took over the work.
The book contains 10000 words
in which there is some Greek ele-
ment. But DR.. Long points out
that in all there are nearly million
English words derived in part or in
whole from the Greek. These are
chiefly in the language of botany,
medicine, archaeology, the church,
philosophy, rnineralogy, physics,
music, zoology and chemistry.
Chemistry alone has 100000 words
containing Greek elements, Long
says.
The chief purpose Of the book is
to provide initiators of scientific and
other specialist nomenclature with a
reference list indicating what Greek
terms already have been used, in
what fields, and how.

EXILES EXPECT
EARLY FALL. OF
CUBAN REGIME
Machado Between Devil of
Debt, Blue Sea of Army
Expenses, They Say.

By Scripps-Hot0ard Newspaper Alliance
WASHIN GTON, March 49,
Cuban exiles here state the regime
Of President Machado is between
the devil Of debt and the deep sea
Of army costs and so are predict
ing its early collapse.
OfhcialS of the Cuban Patriotic
League, which maintains headouar-
tiers here, were expecting something
to happen on March z on which
date a $2O,000,0 loan became due.
An extension was granted by New
York bankers, however, and trouble
averted.
Nevertheless, league members as
sert, the Cuban national debt is
such that an early crisis is unavoid-
able unless President Machado can
make drastic cuts in expenses. The
only place where any very sub
Stantial savings can be made, they
say, is by reducing army and police
establishments, and if that is done
Machado's opposition will Gust
him from power.
The exies' information bureau
here states that Cuba's national debt
is around $258,0OO,00o. Interest ard
amortization during 1881, therefore,
was put at $31, $4,000, Or more than
half of the republics total revenue
of $60,OO0,00O.
AS military and police expendi-
lures call for another 100000
for the year, only a little more than
100000 remains for all the other
functions of government such as
education, justice, public works and
so on.

Alexander Seek, who, in 1915, had

disappeared.

stole Kaiser's Code
Seek, 20. SON of an Austrian, but
born in the suburbs of London, was
an engineer when the war broke
out. He and his father had per-
fected one of the first wireless re-
ceiving sets which could be maneu-
yered to receive on any wave length.
The Germans heard Of the youths
skill. After the German army ad-
vanced into Belgium, the boy was
drafted and assigned to operate the
German wireless station in Brussels.
On that duty, he had occasion to
furnish the kaiser, at Spa, with a
copy Of the code which was trans
mitted for secrecy in Arab.
The boy, with his knowledge Of
oriental Language, deciphered the
principal keys of the code and for
several days copied as much as he
could and nemorized more. On
Aug. Ia, 1915, after being refused
aid by the American legation in his
attempt to get out of the country,
he net British-Belgian spy, Ma
dame Gille.
Started on Bicycles
Through the woman, he met an
other spy, De Box, who made up
false papers for Seek and furnished
him with a letter to Major Open
helm, agent of the British intelli-
gence service at the Hague. Seek
and De Box started for the frontier
on bicycles.
The frontier between Belgium and
Holland was strung with high-cur-
rent electric wires. The boys car
ried with them a tube of their own
making which permitted them to
pass without danger Of being killed.
The contraption was a wooden
tube. insulated with old bicycle tires.
It was placed between the bottom
wire and the ground and the boys
crawled through and reached The
Hague next day. The secret German
code was IN England two days later,
but there never was further trace
Of Seek.
The boy disappeared as though
into thin air a few hours after de-
hvering the secret code. De Box
later received $1,000 from the Brit
ish intelligence service for his part.
