Very complete, vivid and excellent

level of quality and accuracy fills
the public press from hour to hour,

which could add to this except, of
course. to set matters in proportion

word of caution. and I do not think
1t Is inappropriate to do so, in a
period when not 'unnaturally our
spirits run high. What is Italy as
a war unit? Italy is, or rather it
was, perhaps about one-tenth of the
power of Germany. The German
tyranny is being violently assaulted
and beset on every side.
The mighty battles on the Rus
sian front, far exceeding in scale
any Of the operations in which we
and the United States have hitherto
been engaged on land, have in the
month of July inflicted very deep
injuries on the German army. The
systematic shattering of German

with ever growing weight.

Show prices in Wrangell have not advanced, Fred G. Cunningham, Coliseum theatre manager would like it made known. In an advertise ment last week advanced prices were announced in the Coliseum ad in The Sentinel but those prices were for the one particular picture advertised above the prices, Week End in Havana" which was an out standing picture. Prom time to time we will be fortunate in getting first run and unusually good pie tures," MT. Cunningham said. For these special attractions We will find it necessary to advance the price for those pictures only and will advertise the prices, as we did before, along with the announce ment of the film in our ad but they will apply only to those nights that particular picture is showing. At all other times, for our regular run shows, the prices at the theatre remain the same.''

 People in the States are inter- ested in two things mainly, besides the war Dufresne said. "The first thing they want to know is when can they drive to Alaska over the new highway and the second actiy- ity seems to be that everyone and his brother is writing a book on Al aska. The Government printing of lice Is stripped bare of pamphlets on the Territory as a consequence"
 While east Dfuresne visited with Corey Ford and AIafstar MacBain, well known writers who have coV- cred the Territory from Barrow to Attu and Ketchikan and are old friends.

SPORTSMAN CARRIES
 INTERESTING ARTICLES

More evidence on the long-dis- wolves will attack human beings is presented by Barney Mulvany, whose experience last winter in northern British Columbia convinced him that only chance saved him from learning the final answer too late to tell it to the debating wordl!
 Mulyany's story .'The Wolves Al most Got Me- printed in the May issue of The Alaska Sportsman, tells of a cold morning he spent on the glare ice in the middle of a lake surrounded by fourteen expectant wolves. They made frequent efforts to attack, but sprawled on the slip pery ice and retreated to the snow covered area. Mulvany isn't taking chances of being caught again with out a gun!
 My Day-In an Eskimo Village" is Robert Inman's very readable ac- count of the activities and incidents that made up his busy day as gen eral factotum in the little village of Koyuk.
 Featured in the May issue, too, E. L. Keithahn tells the little known story of the Lincoln totem pole, humble tribute of a harried tribe of Indians to the Great Elm ancipator, whose fight for freedom for the Negro slaves liberated In dian slaves, as well, rom their op- pressors.
 One of the most appealing stories ever written of life among the wild things is Richard Landry's descrip- tion of his Home ia the Cassiar. ," Once having lived away from civil ization, in the busy community of animal and bird life, a mans nerves are geared to the quiet of nature, and his thoughts grow calm like the everlasting hills.
 Also in the May issue of The Al aska Sportsman, Aida Orton, whose life in the quiet forests gives her ample opportunity to observe her animal neighbors writes an interest ing account of the activities of the proverbially busy beaver. "0ur In dustrious Neighbors of the Naha" tells what beavers do besides fur nishing Milady with snug fur coats.
