Mrs. John Gilpatrick has knitted 11
sweaters since about the first of Feb
ruary.
The daily attendance record shows
the following ladies have worked at
the work room the past two weeks—
Mesdames Wcver, Sloan, Evans, Or
lander, Colburn, Melville, Wier, Gil
patrick, liOsness, Patton, Woolley,
Hoot, Crawford, Hagstrom. Ballaiie,
Sauers, Keating, McDonald, Cooper,
Tick nor, Robb, Green and Painter.
A donation of $14.00 was made to
the local chapter by Mesdames Green
and Small on behalf of the Dorcas
Society of the Community Christian
church.
The first sunshiny spring day in
Seward reduced the attendance at the
work room to five, the lowest it ha*
been since Christmas. While the de
sire to stay out in the sunshine is al
most irresistible it is well to bear in
mind that the first spring days have
brought on a resumption of the slaugh
or on the western front and they
should be the signal for an increase
instead of a slackening of elTort on
our part.
In view of the great battle now tak
ing place in France and the fact that
our own American troops are at last
in the thick of the fight, the commit
tee in charge has decided that the en
tire energies of the chapter shall be
devoted to the production of three
things, gauze surgical dressings, mus
lin bandages and pajamas. The last
two have been planned for home work
ers. There is plenty of material on
hand and our work room facilities will
accomodate thirty women in an after
noon instead of ten which has berni
our average so far. Can’t those who
have never come begin now being
regular attendants so that we may
louble our output during April?
The following letter of appreciation '
was received from Division Headquar
ters on the lxst steamer:
The Chairman American RM Cross
Chapter, Seward, Alaska, (Attention
Mrs. Erich Lucas. Chairman Military
Relief):—We duly received under date
of February 23rd the report of the
output of your Chapter, and wish to
take this opportunity to thank you
and congratulate you upon the fine
' showing made. We realize the diffi
culties under which people in the far
North work, and appieciate greatly
all work done by Red Cross Chapters
in Alaska.

DEPTH BOMBS
TO END HUN’S
STEEL SHARKS
\
_
CHICAGO, March 30. — Nothing
on, above or in the sea is feared by
crews of German submarines as m ,ch
as depth bombs. This is the opinion
expressed by Harry Lowe, able sea
man for the past thirty years, who
would “rather sleep in a hamtr.ick,
thank ye,” than the best bed in the
best hotel, and who says the depth
bombs will yet “drive the skulking
steel sharks from the waters.” As
Lowe unlisted at the British-Canadian
4*»eruiting station in Chicago, for over
1 seas service, he related his experiences
on ships sunk by Teuton torpedoes.
“I wen* down with the Iberian and
with the Galicia,” said Lowe. “The
Iberian, one of the biggest ships of
the Leyland line w «s sailing light from
Liverpool to Boston, when at about
4:30 in the morning she was hit amid
ships by a torpedo. I was* at the
wheel trying to hold ’er steady in a
deep fog.
•‘The big ship quivered like a dog
struck by its master and sank in fif
teen minutes. We lost two men. Roth
were Americans. A French torpedo
boat took us at the call of the wire
less and took the crew to Dunkerque.
This happened on July 22, 1915.
“When the Galicia was torpedoed—
Oct. 10, 1917—we were struck near
Queenstown Ireland. Twenty-four men
were killed. Most of them died like
rats in a hole. We saw’ the wfake of
the torpedo, but didn’t hove time t.
dodge. The ship- -18,000 tons—blew’
up and sank.”
Lowe said he wras a member of the
crew' of the Lusitania, but missed his
berth when the big liner sailed from
New* York on its ill-fated voyage. “So,
you see, I’ve escaped three torpedoes,’*
said Lowe, ns he shouldered his dutFle
bag and fell into line with nearly a
hundred other recruits. He had wired
his sister in Muscatine, Iowa, that he
w’ould soon be overseas and fighting
the Kaiser.

GIVE BEEFSTEAK DINNER
The losers in the recent "600”
tournament gave a beefsteak dinner
in five courses at the Hazelwood Sat
urday night, which proved to be a
most enjoyable occasion. High man
Tarwater and low man Green graced
the respective ends of the table and
during the repast the "hows” and
the "whys” were discussed until the
beginner, who was present concluded
that there "ain’t no sech game.” Fol
lowing the spread "500” w.s again re
sumed at George’s place. Those en
joying the dinner were the high mer,
Tarwater. Urbach and Root, Anderson

FASTER A SPLENDID DAY
Easter was all that ihe ladies and
others could have wished for. Old
Sol appealed on the horizon early, eld
time, shining brilliantly and a gentle
little breeze just disturbed the air.
Everybody went to church, or at least
passed one, gay raiments were seen
everywhere, etc. The afternoon was
as delightful as the forenoon but af
ter the day was all over, a snow flur
ry with a southerly wind sprang up.
But Easter had come and gone.
