NEWS NOTES
So many excursion parties went out
yesterday that to mention a moiety
of them even would be difficult and it
is always wiser to mention none than
a few. Although the weather was
not at all that could be desired many
parties had very pleasant trips.
Derick Lane, president of the
Democratic Club, presided at the
club's meeting last Saturday evening.
The children’s garden at the corner
of Third and Adams is evidently not a
huge success, judging by the terse
manner in which its progress was re
ported by one of the juvenile garden-j
ers. When asked last Saturday
evening how the garden is getting
along this young lady contented her
self with a monosyllabic reply. It
was “bum.”
In recent copies of Seattle papers
the employers have an advert moment
asking the longshoremen for their
reasons for striking. The intention
evidently is to show that the strike,
was caused by a few leaders and not
by the great body of the men.

NORTHWESTERN THROW S
A PROPELLER OFF
On the way up this trip the steam
ship Northwestern threw a propeller
ami will have to go to drydock when
she returns to Seattle. The accident i
is by no means serious and may not
even delay her arrival here. Once
before when she met with a similar
mishap she made one of the quickest
trips to her credit. It was reported
today at noon that she was at Valdez
but this was not official.
Mariposa Coming
The .Mariposa sailed from Juneau
at 8 a. m. today.
GOES HACK DIRECT
The Northwestern will not go to
Anchorage this trip and will turn back
at Seward and go out direct by the
outside passage from Cordova.
ALASKA SAILS 12 I II
The Alaska will sail from Seattle
at 5 p. m. on the twelfth.
The Northwestern arrived at Valdez
this morning at 10 o’clock.

JUST ROVING AROUND
AMONG BURSTING SHELLS
By United Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON, July 1.—A Canadian
artillery major played a side-splitting
joke on the Germans for the benefit
of the three American news associa
tion correspondents at the British war
front in Belgium last week.
From a commanding elevation and j
a safe distance the correspondents and
the foreign office official who was es
corting them had been watching a
brisk “straf” between the Canadian
batteries and the German big guns on
the plain below them.
The Canadians started the row.
“Our airmen, you see,” explained a '
Canadian captain, “have located a lot j
of Bosche dugouts and we’re going to
bust ’em.”
The “strut was in full blast a few
minutes later. The Germans respond-,
ed enthusiastically.
“Don’t stand up so's to show
against the skyline," warned the
colonel in charge of the party. “The
Bosches could land a shell here if they !
wanted to.
“It isn’t this party I’m worried
about,” he added, “but l don’t want to ;
get them in habit of shelling this
position. It would be bad for people
who have to be here later.”
After awhile the “straf subsided.
“Would you like to see one of our
batteries?” asked the Canadian cap
tain.
The party declared it would be more
than delighted. The hill had to be!
descended and a big field crossed to j
get to the battery.
“You three chaps go ahead,” said
the colonel to the Canadian captain*
and a couple of the correspondents.
“Now you two.” he told the foreign
office official and his own aide, after
the first trio had gained a lead of 000
feet or so.

".Now we’ll go,” he concluded when
the ollicial and the aide had made a
fair start.
"If we all went in a bunch,” he point
ed out to the correspondent who ac
companied him, "the Uosches might
think it worth while to land on us with
a whizzbang.”
The battery was ensconced in a
burrow which anybody could have
passed unconsciously at a dozen-loot
distance and an aviator could hardly
lind with a microscope. It had been
there for months, said the major who
commanded it.
“Would you like to see a shot fir
ed?” he inquired.
Tlu* correspondents ami tne roreign
otheial certainly did want to.
Hardly had the shell cleared the
gun’s muzzle before a funny idea
seemed to strike the major and lie be
gan to laugh uproariously. The
others’ eyes turned on him curiously.
“1 was just thinking” said the
major, “how that one lone shot will
puzzle the Bosches. At first they’ll
think a bombardment’s starting.
Then, when nothing follows it, they’ll
get to worrying.
“I’ll bet they lo.-.e sleep wondering
what we fired that single shot for.
“Besides, the bombardment being

Three or four Germans were killed,
for all anybody knows, merely to give
a good laugh to three correspondents,
