HOW THE GUNS
AFFECT THE EARS.
BERLIN, March io.—The normal
ear is not affected in any noticeable
degree by the noises of even the heav
iest artillery, according to conclusions
based upon a long study of artillery
men, by a Berlin ear specialist.
Of 51 artillerists observed for a
long period by this specialist, none
exhibited any objective symptoms, an !
only four complained of subjective in
juries, mainly ‘ringing in the n^ad”
In investigations covering a "bole
year, only one case of a burst eardrum
was found.
The ordinary recruit, who serves
only two years in peace times in the
heavy artillery, but rarely incurs any
lasting injury to his ears, officers who
have served many years not infrequ
ently leave the service with chronic
partial deafness or ringing in the ears.
Investigation appears to show, how
ever, that these sufferers did not have
normal organs when they enlisted.
The reels shown at the Casino
Theatre last evening pleased the
audience, judging by the comments
and laughter they produced. Ar
rangements have been made under an
“Alaska contract only” to produce
some features films that at their gen
eral market price could be shown only
at highest class bouses in the stares
The management wishes that the pub
lic make suggestions or criticisms
realizing that to please means to suc
ceed. Call at the box office after the
show or at the offices in the Oagget
Block during the day.
One of the changes announced is
that beginning with tonight, reserved
seats will cost only 10 cents more than
general admission. These seats are
situated at the best distance from the
screen to give restful vision and, be
ing raised are very desirable.
Saturday next a matinee free to all
children will be given.

Home Guard Discouraged by Lord
Kitchener.
LONDON, March 15.—The home
guard organizations, which have
sprung up like mushrooms since the
bombardment of the Hartelpools and
Scarborough, complain that they are
not only receiving small support from
the War Office but are being discour
aged by Lord Kitchener.
The idea of the home guard is an
armed, semi-military organization,
ready to bo called out in case of a Ger
man invasion of the British Isles.
I Only those who can show good cause
for not enlisting in the regular army
are supposed to join. These include
men over the age of active service,
civil servants and men engaged in the
manufacture of arms and war mater
| ial.
On'' regulation imposed by the War
Office, which has done much to take
the enthusiasm out of the home guard
movement, is that requiring the mem
bers to sign an agreement to enlist
in the army for foreign service if cal 1 -
ed to do so by the War OfTice. Thera
is no legal way to enforce such a
promise, but the members feel it as
a strong moral obligation. Recruiting
officers have been visiting the corps
already to induce enlistments in the
regular force. Another discouraging
war office order relates to equipment.
Only arms and ammunition are sup
plied and it is forbidden the corps to
wear uniforms except a sleeve band,
or any badges or titles of rank, a
thing that makes discipline and drill
difficult.
To get around the uniform question,
the men have been supplying them
i selves with a civilian dress of uniform
j color and cut and made somewhat on
military lines.
The suggestion has been made that
the volunteers, if unable to secure con- i
cessions from the War Office regard
ing the objectionable rules, proceed to
establish an independent home guard.
This would act without official sane-i
tion, but would do what it could to aid j
•x.
recruiting.
It is charged that the War Office
aims to prevent any man joining the
! civilian guards who would be liable to
service were the country put under
! conscription.

Seward and it is necessary for them
all to have a place to live when they
arrive here.
We want to ask every property
holder in Seward to assist us in look
ing after the wants of the new comers
and to that end, ask that they furnish
us with a list of their property, that
they wish to rent and we will do all
that we can to lease or rent it for you.
It docs not make any difference
whether it is a residence or business
property, we have numerous demands
for bith, and will be able to place
either for you in a short time.
It is up to the citizens of Seward to
look after the comfort of the new
comers and as an act of hospitality
alone it is up to you to list your prop
erty if you care to rent it.
We now have a few choice bargains
in real estate, and if you are in the
market for anything in that line, w?e
would be pleased to go over the list
with you, and possibly we may find
just what you want .
Strangers are cordially invited to
call at our office and make their
wants known.
