ALASKAN FLYER GETS
TRANSFER TO U. S. ARMY
In the Official Bulletin, issued by
the government, it is seen that Ken
neth Marr, of Nome, a member of the
Lafayette escadrille, the daring flying
squad of Americans that has been
operating in the French army, has
been transferred to the American ex
pedition force, together with all other
members ofthe escadrille.
Kenneth Marr first went to France
with the dogs which Scotty Allen senti
over. After training French soldiers
how to handle the dogs in the Vos
ges mountains, he entered the flying
corps and made an enviable reputa
tion for himself.
In all the Paris newspapers he was
complimented a short time ago for
having put one over on the Germans.
While flying over the enemy lines his
machine was brought down. He land
ed under the airplane, but fortunately
was not Injured. German soldiers
surrounded the machine. Marr then
“played ’possum” with the result that
the enemy paid no attention to him
and left him lying under the machine.
Later he crawled back to the French
lines after having gained some valu
able information regarding the ene
my.

PET PIG TO BE
BENT TO ANCHORAGE
"I have a pig I want to send to An
chorage, Alaska, and have been un
able to get any of the steamship com
panies to transport the little pet,” was
the burden of a complaint received
from a woman in McMinnville, Ore.,
by Miss Adele Moody, secretary and
librarian of the Alaska bureau of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce and
Commercial Club, several days ago.
Miss Moody set about making ar
rangements for the shipment of the
pig, and replying to the woman's be
seeching letter on Monday wrote that
she could guarantee the pig's trans
portation if the woman would not in
sist upon the pig being manicured in
transit.
“Bully,” the woman replied on
Wednesday. "He's on his way and
Anchorage will be proud of the pig, T
know.”
