LETTER TO SEWARD TELLS
OF THE WAR IN FRANCE.
A letter direct from the British
trenches in France was received by
J. S. Haynes on the Alameda from u
friend named Kenny Bateman who,
although born in the States, is a
member of a Highland regiment. On
the front of the envelope are printed
regulations and on the back is a print
ed statement to be signet! by the
sender giving his won! of honor that
there is nothing in the letter but priv
ate or family news. The writer gives
many interesting little inner glimpses.
He says the “ocming in” of the
Italian* was good news but that the
fall of Przeniysl was the opposite.
When the German guns lire five
miles away the sound is heard, then
comes the shriek of the shell growing j
louder and louder until it hits the j
ground, maybe twenty feet ahead or J
twenty feet to the rear, and throws J
mud over the men aimed at. 1 he j
British soldiers receive newspapers
from England only a day anti a half;
old. They spent! four days in the t
trenches and four out and the writer 1
says the enemy stops at nothing.

twelve feet to the rocks below' to 1
finish the matter. Before an audi- j
once of some fifty screaming women ’

| HARRY STEEL REVIVES
THE CHITINA LEADER.
i
Harry G. Steel, one of the owners
of the Cordova Daily Times, has con
tinued the publication of the Chitina
leader—or, at least, a Chitina Lead-!
or. Early this month the old Chitina j
Leader announced that it would be
suspended for a while. It was being
published by Will A. Steel, and nnos
printed in the office of the Cordova j
Alaskan. Early in June Will A. Steel |
found it necessary to leave for the i
south, and he suspended the publi
cation of the Cordova Alaskan during
the summer. Following the suspen
sion of the Alaskan and the depart-1
ure of Will A. Steel came the sus- j
pension of the Chitina paper.

Here’s a welcome to Cordova
And the Rooters they may brin*,
To help celebrate the Fourth,
And make the Welkin ring.

And help to fill them up.

But we’ll fight them for that cup.

And they should lift that bowl—

If they get us in a hole.
And if they wish to fill the cup,

For we’ll fill the cup and drink their
