THE SPIKER IS
I SENT FROM OUR
BOYS IN FRANCE
A copy of “The Spiker” published
“somewhere in France" by the ISth
; Engineers of the U. S. Army has been
received in Seward. It has a page de
voted to baseball and sports. There
I is news about the “boys” and lots of
funny stunts. The drawings are oiigj
inal and show exceptional skill, indi
cating that there must he some putty
local artists among the statT nembers.
One of the news notes says that the
Yankee soldiers have adopted “Tout j
le long de la Tamise” (“Along the
Thames,” having caught ti»e tunc
in n the French concert nails, which,
b. now all the rage. Here is an in
leresting note:
“The editor asked one man why he!
did not . ign his name to an article;
submitted, and his answer was: ‘I did j
not come to France to bandy words—
spoken or written—1 am a so.dler. I
came to light and work and when the
i m*‘ comes I'll try anil sign my’ name
to deeds.*’
In another place is found this gem
of a poem:
*T.im1o for yourself a strong box.
Fashion each part with care:
l*i» it w;th hasp and padlock,
Put all your troubles there.
Hide therein all you failures,
And each bitter cup you quaff,
Lock all vour heartaches within it
Then- -IT ON THE LID AM)
LAUGH.
••Toll no one of its contents;
Never its secrets share:
t/iup in y.» u cares and \our wonies
Keep them forever there,
Hide them from sight completelv,
The world will never dream half:
Fasten the top dowv seen el;,
Then—SIT ON THE LID AND
LAUGH.
In fact, glancing through the pages

of “The Spiker" is like wandering
amid green fields and meadows of
| originalitv and refreshing Yankee hu
mor. A nation with a spirit like that
which shines through the pages was
never born to be made the slaves of
any people on earth, especially of the
Mithless German military kuLor.
Every person at home by reading
“The Spiker” will get a keener real

of our boys in France and how they
are making even a joke of the near

ALL WASTE WILL BE
COLLECTED AND USED
IT IS NATIONAL SCHEME
LONDON, March 18. — A national
scheme has been approved here for
collecting and using nearly everything
now cast out as household waste, such
as rags, waste paper, old metal, brok
en glass, old cans, and all sorts of
kitchen refuse. Everything will bo
sorted and sent to centers where it
can be made to replace something that
otherwise would have to be brought in
ships.
Many experiments have been mode.
Oil for engines has been extracted
from bad fish and meat; food for
poultry and pigs from other kinds of
refuse; potash from stalks of vege
tables. Old tin cans from the city of
Nottingham are now yielding 400 tons
of iron a year, which is converted into
a low class steel for army purposes.
One of the triumphs of war economy
has been in the extraction and use of
the oil with which leather is dressed.
-«—
Female stenographers in the em
ploy of the United S*at< s govern'»c*nt
are now being paid as high as $1,200
a year.

QUOTES BIBLE
i AND ARRESTED
FOR BEING SPY
■■ ■■
Arrested and held at Seward as a
German spy was the predicament in
which Charles L. Mason, of Anchor
age, secretary to William C. E<ies,
chairman of the Alaskan Engineer
ing Commission, found himself, accord
ing to a fanciful stoiy in the newspa
pers of Mr. Mason's home town, Den
ver, Colo. Because the young man
filed at the Seward cable office a mes
sage in whi< h reference was made by
• timbers to the chapter and the verse
of a book in the Bible he was sus
pected of atempting to convey inform
ation by secret code to the 1 »ei mans.
After having been taken into custody,
he could not regain his liberty for ■
?.everal days, as according to the Den-!
ver journals, it took that lon<* lor the
officials of Seward to find a Bible
there so an explanation could be made
to them of the innocent nature of the
scriptural reference in the cablt mes
sage.
Story in I)*n\er Papers
The story as printed in the Denver
newspapers follows:
* Charles L Mason, former superin
tendent of tne Sunday School classes
ai Sooth Broadway Ch is »an chu.ch,
Qenver, narrowly escaped arrest in
connection with a 'spy* plot because
censors of cable dispatches to and
fiom the United States are not well;
versed in the Bible.
1
“Marv;n E. Gantz, who succee lee
Mason as superintendent of the Sun
day school, tells of the embarrassing
predicament his predecessor discover
ed himself when government censors
in Alaska failed to understand the im
port of a congratulatory message con
taining a Bible excel pt.
Greeting and Good Cheer
“Mason is now employed in Alaska
and recently attempted ♦•> send a mes
<a; e of greeting and good cheer 10
the Sunday School class during its
annual festival in this city. In an ef
fort to save tolls and prevent congos
t'on on the already nearly burdened
cable, Mason conceived the idea of
abbreviating a Bible text.
“At Seward, Alaska, Mason filed
this message to Gantz, Denver:
“‘Congratulations, Colossians, 2-5.’
“ ‘What's the code,’ asked the offi- i
c»al in charge at the cable station.
“ ‘It's a Biblical excerpt,’ confided
Mason.
“ ‘Maybe,’ retorted the otticer, sar
castically, and ordered Marson detain
ed as a suspicious person until th
‘code’ message could be investigated.
“After several Hays’ search a mis- j
sionary with a Bible was found and
apologies from the government olli
cers were profuse when the ‘code*
message was translated thus:
“ ‘Congratulations. For though ab
sent in the flesh, yet I am with you
in spirit, joying and beholding your 1
order and the steadfastness of >our!
faith in Christ.’ ”
