a blue-gray mass of humanity pour
ing out of the German second-line
trenches and advancing on the first
line which was still held by a few
kilted platoons. The machine guns
rattled and every man with a rifle
opened fire, but still that ant heap
of humanity kept coming on till
the first trench was recaptured,
which sealed the fate of the pla
toons as they were unable to re
tire.
In the afternoon a drizzling rain
set in, w'hich subdued to a certain
extent the artillery fire. When
darkness fell we w-ounded who were
able to walk started for the dress
ing station. We passed some piti
ful sights. One man sat in a shell
hole with his arm torn to ribbons,
while just ahead of us walked a
blood-stained soldier leading a com
rade with both eyes blown out.
The dressing stationed had been
shelled out, but a two-mile tramp
through liquid mud brought us
to V- where some already over
worked R. A. M. C. men improved
our bandages and gave us all a
drink of hot beef tea, then told us
to move on. An hour of wandering
through intricate, muddy trenches
brought us to a road which we fol
lowed for another hour until we
came to K- where we met the
ambulances which took us to the
hospital in P- where we were
cleaned up and put to bed, only to
be moved on in a few' hours to
H- where the hospital was al
ready filled. That afternoon we
went by train to a large hospital
under canvas on the coast.
ST. JOHN’S CHURCH
DAILY BIBLE READING.
Topic for week: The Healing Pow
er of Christ.
St. Luke 17:11-19.
“One of them, when he saw that
he was healed, turned back and
with a loud voice glorified God.”
Ten healed, only one gave thanks.
Even among us, who ask and re
ceive so much from our friends,
our country, and our God, very few
think to say “Thank you.” Faith in
God and in his presence within us
will help us keep well, and our
faith wil be party expressed thru
our thankfulness.
ENJOYABLE SURPRISE PARTY.
A farewell surprise party was
given Miss Leona Williams, who
expects to leave Ketchikan in the
near future, by her teacher and
schoolmates Thursday afternoon.
A very pleasant afternoon was
spent in games after which a light
luncheon was served. Those pres

TO ADD WHARFAGE
CHARGE TO TARIFF
STEAMSHIP COMPANIES HAVE
AGREED UPON LONG
DEFERED PLAN.
In keeping with the new policy
adopted in regard to the Alaska
traffic, the Pacific Coast Steam
ship Company announced recently
th,>t it is amending its coastwise
freight traffic to include wharfage
at Seattle and other Puget Sound
ports. liei etofore, the wharfage at
Seattle was 50 cents a ton, which
the consignee was made to pay be
sides the regular freight rates, but
under the new arrangement this
charge will be combined, making
only one charge.
Shippers who are heavy patrons
of the company have urged it., re
peatedly in the past to take the
step mentioned. It is believed that
the innovation will meet with the
hearty approval of shippers in gen
eral. The new plan is to be given
a thorough trial and if it comes up
to expectations will be made a per
manent feature of the company’s
coastwise business.
The Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany, the Alaska Steamship Com
pany and the Pacific Coast Navi
gation Company, the latter operat
ing the Admiral Line, recently ad
opted the new plan in their Alaska
business.

PARAFFIN GOOD WINDOW I
CLEANER.
There is no need to trouble
about water and soap when cleaning
a window. The easier way is to
crush up a newspaper, dip it light
ly in paraffin and use as a polish
er.
The paraffin removes all dirt and
stains very quickly, and the paper
gives a splendid shine to the glass
which not only lasts a long time
but keeps flies from settling.

FEDERAL OFFICIALS
ARE ON GUARD
A recent arrival from Seattle
says that the fishermen’s strikers’
threat to compel .non-strikers to
abandon fishing while the strike is
on, took on a different turn the
other day. He says that the Unit
ed States coast guard launch Scout
forced ten men, alleged to be strik
ers to return to Seattle. The men
were on the launch Coaster and
were heavily armed. The command
er of the Scout said that he had
received orders from the depart
ment to protect the non-striking
fishermen.
The Scout went out after word
was received that the halibut
schooners Seattle and Orient were
to be held up by the ten men w-ho
were aboard the Coaster.

SONG HITS FOR THE

"Keep the Home Fire Burning

these and then some by that two

use talking folks, it’s hard to beat
for dance music. They’re all going
to Redmen’s Hall Saturday night.

EARTH SHOCKS THAT ARE
DUE TO FROST CRACKS
In the annual lists of earth
quakes registered at the Harvard
Seismographic Station occasional
shocks occurring in winter are not
ed as due to “frost cracks”; i. e..
the sudden opening of fissures in
the ground resulting from freezing.
Prof. Woodworth, director of the
station, states that the late Prof.
Shaler, in one of his lectures, men
tioned the occurrence of a sensible
[ shock at Cambridge, which he trac
ed to a crack in the frozen ground.
Prof. Woodworth says that “this ^
idea of frost cracks is very wide
spread in New England as an ex
planation of many small shocks
coming at a ti^e when the frozen
ground is known to have cracked
open.”
