What is th« best way to spend the long winter evenings in a town like
Seward ?
There ir> no man or woman who does not get terribly bored once in a
while no matter how hard they struggle to feel contented. Lhe more work
one has to do the less, of course, is the chance to suffer boredom, but work
. iso has its drawbacks and brings the desire tor change. Work as we will
'V loaf as wo will there comes a time, maybe each day, when eveiything
looks "blank and bleak and grey."
This is probable the time when the husband and wife ha\e thoir little
spats or when tho other sort o' tellow invites hi?* tiiend in to h»i\e a shot.
Both kinds aiv di> -iputinir in their ow n manner but neither of them is all the
time conscious of the act. until the married man next morning hears old
K. E. Morse knocking at tin door and telling him through the keyhole to
say "never again, dear, and "never again repeats in equally doleful a<
eents the gentleman who became perforated w ith shots the night before and
opens his eyes to see the >ame old R. K. Grets pointing the linger of scorn at
him.
The only nifforenco between the two kinds ot dissipations is that at the
end of each spat the married man or woman says to the life partner “I m
sorry 1 ever met you." ami the fellow that indulged in the other dissipation
sa\t» the same thing about the shots, but not till the morning after.
But, all joking aside, the best way to spend a dull time is to take lots
of good exercise in tl e open air. Get out anti walk ami keep the blood in
c ’dilation so that you feel as though you had just taken about two drinks
of wine or that your wife had just come to say it was all her fault. The
t xhilaration of tin* woods and seashore and trosty' air has no mo’ ning
after." Have you ever tried it and taken careful note of the effects?
When tha: eight million dollars is appropriated next session, maybe next
month, it will mean that some three millions of it will be spent between Sew
ard and Anchorage. Mr. Kdes. you will remember, told this paper some time
ago that the work of joining the two towns will cost between two end three
million dollars, and he also told his paper that if all goes well the connection
will be made next year. This work on the Alaska Northern will probably
bring the sum to be spent between this place and Anchorage to the thiee mil
lion.-. We i av .. h to 1 tl at the cost of putting the Alaska Northern
in shape will bo about a quarter of a million. - Let us keep those facts in
mind and we shall have no need to worry about next year anil what it means
for us.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
CHAMPAGNE, Nov. 13.—(Special to
Gateway)—The Americans in the
French Aviation Corps are making
good, the air fleet commandant here
told me today. There are six of them
left; one, Jimmy Bach of Utah, hav
ing recently been taken prisoner by
the Germans.
Among the others are Eliott Cow
den, wealthy Bostonian and a good
polo player; Bert Hall of Texas, lean,
lank and goodnatured; Billy Thaw, ol
Pittsburgh, Norman Prince ami some
others. 1 saw Hall and Cowden to
day. Both are “fast cruisers,” flyjng
the swiftest machines in the squad
rilla. George Carpentier, the famous
French middleweight youngster, is a
member of the same group.
I visited the aerodrome x towards
sundown. One by one the birds were
coming home to roost, circling over
the field, volplaning down, turning
and rolling back on the ground under
their own power. Down from one of
the tiniest of these—a beautiful,
short-winged creation in pearl-gray
ami blue—stepped Hall. Seating him
self on a runner he was helped out
of his fur-lined overalls, Eskimo
boots and other Arctic overwear.
“Gee!” he exclaimed, walking up
ami warming his hands before a ben
zine flare lighted to guide belated
pilots home. “Lordy, but it’s cold up
there!”
“I thought I was going to be late,"
he said, “1 got out pretty far. It is
no joke landing in one of these little
rapid boys like mine, even in the day
time. And if it is getting dark the
machine capsizes three-fourths of the
time. lA'on Hourlicr and his brother
in-law, Leon Comes, both famous
French bicycle racers, were killed in
the same machine only the other day
on this very field in just such a stupid
landing accident. Pretty tough to
escape the Germans only to get
smashed before your own door, eh?”
The French air fleet is now as per
fectly organized and in much the
same way as is the high seas fleet. It
has its powerful two-engined, double
propellered pianos corresponding to
J the dreadnoughts. They can mount

to any altitude quickly, taking con
siderable high explosive in addition to
pilot and observer. There are super
dreadnaughts, some with three planes
and enormous engines carrying bombs
enough to blow up a small town in ad
dition to a cannon and machine-guns.
There are scouts, “coast-defense”
planes, escort cruisers for the slower,
bigger, mightier air navigators.
This is a big change from the first
ships of first days of the war when
an aeroplane performed any service
its pilot was ordered to do. Hall,
for example, never carries explosives.
His duty, with his swift, short-winged
biplane, is either to do scout service
far behind the German front, or ac
company a bombarding fleet and, like
a destroyer at sea, ward off the
enemy. When you read of the French
air fleet bombarding some position or
other in German territory, you may
know that these lightning fast bi
planes accompany it, scouting in ad
vance and protecting it on flanks,
rear, above and below.
Other aeroplanes specialize on
photographing; still others cruise be
hind their own lines, coast defending,
chasing or attacking with machine
guns any German planes coming over.
These “chasers” are so constructed
that they can train their machine
guns on the enemy from any angle
up, down, fore or aft. All these
machines are armored.
The flower of the army is in the
aviation group. The air service ap
peals to all clases, but particularly
the sporting element, and it can take
its pick from many candidates. The,
officers are exceeding smart and the
underlings a very superior type.
A German officer is quoted by a
neutral observer at the front as say
ing in reply to a request to get closer
to the lines;
“Don’t think of such a thing: To
get inside the range of the French
artillery is certain death!”
