The mayor of Iditarod sends greetings to the people of Seward on ths
first start of mail o\er the Seward route.
To him and to the people of the Iditarod and to all their neighbors Sew
ard returns the greetings gratefully.
It is only to be hoped that from this time forward the people of the in
terior and the people of this city will have closer ties and keep meeting.
The very fact that they thought about sending us greetings is one which
ought to have a go«»d as well as a pleasant eftect. It shows how those people
are alive every moment.
The first mail started yesterday and in ordinary time the circumstances
would have created an immense interest. If there had been no election pending
the people would have seen that in the sending of the mail this way to the in
terior Seward was beginning a new epoch
But this interest exists just as strongly although not shown as it might
have been owng to other matters. It was a big event for Seward and may be
regarded as the harbinger of far greater things to come.
How will the vote be this year compared to the last election? The num
ber of people who leave Nome now every fall is just a little more than a
thousand. A large number of the Tanana people have also gone outside. 1 he
number of people leaving Fairbanks in the fall is probably far more than a
thousand. As that camp is a >\ ickersham stronghold the effect on his vote
ought to be bad. On the other hand there are many people going out from
Nome and other places who are probably people who would never vote for
the delegate.
The votes lost this year by the lateness of the election will, of course, hi'
made up to some extent by the coming in of the women. It is hard to give
an opinion, indeed but the memory of these tacts ought to help us in our
speculations.

THE HAGUE. Nov. 2.—To othor
assertions that the French soldier is
not particularly thankful for having
to wear red pants and blue coats,
when his adversary is clothed in a un
iform which in Furope's landscape of
gray-green is next to invisible, the
correspondent of the Homan news
paper Mcssagero, makes a slight and
humorous contribution:
“The spirit of the French army is
excellent,” he wrote. “In spite of the
hardships they have to endure the
French soldiers are in good humor,
expressing this now and then in rath
er bosterous fashion. Their frugality
is marvellous. Getting a cigarette is a
big event with them. But they are not
pleased with their red pants, which in
times of peace they would not do with
out for anything.
“ ‘You are cracking a hard nut, re
marked the correspondent to a soldier
who had crawled out of a wet trench
to dry himself in the sun.
“ ‘Indeed monsieur: Those fellows
are the color of an earthworm. Y’ou
can’t see them, while our pants are
loud enough to be seen for miles. But
we can’t veiy well do without them—
can we? ’ ”
In his dispatch the correspondent
points out that the German medical
service is far superior to the French,
who, as he alleges, lack even some of
the necessary surgical instruments
and needed housing for the wounded.
The effects of the German artillery
fire are characterized by the corres
pondent as indescribably terrible.”
LONDON, Nov. 2.—A German or
German sounding name tends to make
its possessor so unpopular both in a
business ami a social wav in London
that there has been a rush of British
born and naturalized German citizens
in England to the courts for new
names. Some of the changes on the
court records arc'; Schloss to Castle;
Schwartz to Black; Klussman to Mac
laren; Rosenthal to Rodney; Howitz to
Howard; Koenig to Kingsley; Dunkel
huhler to Duncan; Scharlieb to Shir
ley; Weischenck to Wynne; Kuss to
Cuss; Brueggemeny to Bridges, and
Stohwasser to Stowe.
But the most tactful shift was by
the man who traded Kaiser for King.
ROME, Nov. 2.—An incident of the
battle between the French and Ger
mans near Esterna> ami Sezanna is
thus described in a Paris dispatch to
the Corriere della Sera:
“A German battery which had been
caught in a swamp, and which for this
reason had been cut off from the main
force, managed finally to free itself
from the mud. Instead of surrender
ing it continued singlehanded the
fight against the advancing French.
The German artillerymen beat their
assailants off with a hellish fire, which
the French artillery tried in vain to
silence. Until in the evening the bat
tery continued its deadly work until
its amunition became exhausted and
the men w’cre either dead or wounded
When 1 arrived the brave crew had
already been buried, and the guns still
rested on trees which the men had
placed under the wheels in order that
the pieces might not disappear in the
mud.’

BREMERTON, Oct 23.—Word was
received at the navy yard today that
the armored cruiser Maryland, Oapt.
Philip Andrews, will leave the Mare
Island navy yard on November 1 for
Puget sound. Upon arrival here the
Maryland will take on supplies and
coal and will also load w ith 600 tons
of Alaskan coal from the Matanuska
fields. This coal Vas brought to the
navy yard last spring and stored at
the coal depot awaiting the relief of
the Man-land from duty in Mexican
waters. The vessel is now availble
for this duty, and thorough tests will
be made to determine the steaming
qualities of the Matanuska coal.
Twenty-five tons of the coal was sent
to Annapolis for chemical tests and
was found to be much superior in
quality than the coal tested last year.
Christian Science Monitor: Mrs.
Strong, wife of Gov. J. F. A. Strong
of Alaska, talking recently to the
Providence Journal, said of the women
of Alaska:
“I do not know of any other women
who can equal them in resourceful
ness. And they are filled with an en
ergy which makes nothing too hard of
accomplishment. If they give an after
noon tea it is in as attractive sur
roundings as one could find anywhere,
with the same appointments as the
East affords. Flowers from Seattle
will adorn the rooms, the whitest of
naperv covers the table, while the ser
vice is perfect, not to mention the re
freshments.”
