WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
PRANCE, Nov. 30 —It is'the opin
ion of all the officers that the Am
erican troops are bearing up excellent
ly under the first experience in. the
trenches. All are learning how to con
duct themselves under fire and also
that shell fire, even when Intense, is
not as dangerous as. it sounds.
So much schrapnel has fallen since
the battalions of the second Oontin
gent in the trenches have taken their
posts that they cease to worry about
it. hardly paying any more attention
to it than to rain. The commander of
one battalion said that since the men
had entered the trenches, mumps has
caused more of them to go to the j
hospital than has the enemy’s Are.
The firing in this battalions sector
has been rather more intense than is
usual for several nights.
A heavy shell fell in a machine gun
ammunition dump and exploded thir
ty boxes, bullets fying In all direc
tions! The men nearby threw thqto
selves on the grourd and no one was
hurt.
Knute Albert G'anberg, who was
recently transferred from the district
board of Kitsap county, Washington;
to local board No. 17 at Fairbanks,
is being hunted fo* as am alleged de
serter of the United States draft ser
vice. The man has been drafted, but
all efforts tO' locate him have been
'fruitless.
Nick Vlnvich and Alfred Sampson,
of Fairbanks, who at the time of reg
istration were Austrian aliens, have
declared their intentions in the dis
trict court at Fairbanks to become
citizens of the United States.
The Order of Alaskan Moose have
begun planning for a big dance to be
giyen Christmas night in their hall.
If the plans work out this dance will

the year.
