LUCKY MULE
“-Bom on the battlefield"— this is
the soubriquent proudly worn by Mile.
Verdun, probably the most aristocrat
ic equine in the United States, and on
ly an Army Mule.
No recruit is full-fledged in the
15th Field Artillery, now in Texas, un
til he is permitted to groom and other
wise doll up this regimental mascot—
introducing you to Mile. Verdun, golc
striper, from France.
She was foalde on April 16, 1918,
on the red and bloody slopes of Ver
tiun, just four hours after her dam had
finished hauling shells for Battery E,
loth Field Artillery, Second Division,
she being a wheel mare in that crack-!
erjack battery of the famous “Indian
Head'* Division.
Mile. Verdun first saw the light o>
day, or rather night, on this tretfi
globe of ours at%J> a. nr., when the ai
tille^y fire was at its height. She
scorned to die of freight but thrievcd
ami a few days later the battery
marched ten miles, and the new-born
mascot with it, under her own power.
Before she was a month old she had
hiked another thirty miles in two days,
add not a major offensive did the Sec
ond Division pull off that Mile. Ver
dun was not in the thick of it. For
good measure she * hiked a hundred
miles to the Rhine, keeping watch with
the rest of the Army of Occupation.
‘*How are we going to get her home ?”
asked many a first-class private of
the vet, and the vet passed the buck to
the quartermaster, An ironbound
ukase had gone out that no animals
or such were to go back to the Unit
ed States, even if they were regiment
al mascots.
“Oh, very well, said the boys oi
Battery E. “We haven’t fought in
France two years for nothing.” And
behold. Mile. Verdun, mysteriously
missing for many a day, bloomed
forth again at quarantine on this side
of the Atlantic, too late to be sent
back. There a relentless veterinary of
ficer thrust her into quarantine, but
now she is free, and queen of all she
surveys, at Camp Travis, San Antonio
Texas, where they are now recruiting
• the famous Second up to full strength
again.
If Mile. Verdun were the only child
of a millionaire family she could not
be groomed and manicured, petted and
fed better than she it. To a man the
veterans of the 15th Field Artillery
down at lively San Antonio, where the
only shell fire one hears is the safe
and easy practice at the targets und
er summer suns in winter, have sworn
to mb her Uses fall in the pleasant

RESIGN •
HONOLULU, T. H., Dec., 6— Gov.
Charles J. McCarthy of Hawaii ha:
announced that he will submit his re
signation to the White house March 4
to take effect June 30. Despite pres
4
sure from leading men in the territory
on both sides of politics, the governoi
has refused to reconsider his decision
his belief being that President-elec!
Harding should have the privilege oi
appointing a governor of Hawaii oi
the same political faith as himself
Governor McCarthy is a Democrat
A special committee of the chamb
er of commerce has offered the gov
ernor the position of representative oi
the chamber at Washington and tin
governor has admitted he will accept
if the proposal is ratified by the whole
chamber.
For a successor to governor, Mc
Carthy the most prominent name mcn
.ioned is that of the territory*:
gate to congress, Jonah K. Kalaniun
ole, known as “Prince Kuhio,” ami a
member of the last royal family of
Hawaii. The delegate has served 18.
years as delegate to congress and on
November 2 was re-elected for another •
two-year term. He has said he would
accept the governorship if such an of
fer carried the undivided support of
the territory.

PEKT PARAGRAPTHS OF SENSE
AND NONSENSE FOREIGN AN1
LOCAL, CAUGHT ON THE
PLY BY “THE HUMAN
TOOTHPICK “
'The picture at the Liberty Theatre
last night was different from the us
ual run of love stories. The acting oi j
the stars throughout the entire pro
duction was excellent. Love and hate
ran neck anck in every reel. The pho
tography was particularly good, that
showing the submarine in action being
the best picture of its kind ever pro
duced. x
The town of Seward is particularly
blessed by having among its popula
tion a large number of young girls
who average about ten years of age.
These kiddies are all wonderful apeci
mens of real Alaska children. Healthy
and full of life and bound togethei
by the spirit of childhood, the most
wonderful spirit in the world. Tht
oirthday of one means the gathering
of all. Last night they occupied almost
row of the front seats at the Liberty
Theatre as guests of Miss Perry. The
man or woman who would not smile
and feel more content with life after
seeing these children thoroughly en
joying the occasion, is suffering with
ossification of the heart. Some kids.
We’ll tell the world.
With this issue of the Gateway you
will notice an alinost complete change
in the advertising arrangements of the
back page. The merchants who are ad
vertising in the Gateway are all en
titled to your support. They have an
excellent stock of goods and among
their varied stock are just the things
you are looking for as a Christmas
gift. Shop early and spend your dol
lars in Seward.
The weather yesterday was or the
real winter kind. Cold enough to make
you walk briskly. Today it is cloudy
and feels as if we might hare more
snow. Soon be Christmas.

Preparing for one hun
dred and twenty million
meals with Karo Maple
for 1921
Last year American housewives
bought over five million cans of
Karo Maple. Delicious flavor,
moderate price and wise buying
*V
Do you know that the makers of Karo
Maple are the world’s largest users of the
purest and best flavored maple sugar?
That over a thousand tons of maple
sugar from the finest maple groves in
Vermont and Canada are used each year
to make Karo Maple?
Karo Maple it pure and wholesome—
its flavor it not an imitation.
Yet the price is so moderate that you
^ can afford to serve it at every meal.
’ Try* it just once, on some nice hot
waffles, or brown pancakes. Or as a
spread for bread or crisp toast.
If Karo Maple isn’t the most satisfy
ing syrup you ever tasted, at the most
satisfying price you ever paid for a simi
lar syrup, return the balance of the
can and the grocer will refund your
moneye

WORKERS PROTEST
BERLIN, Dec., 4— The alleged in
tention of the Council of Ambassadors
to confiscate high speed Diesel motors
in Germany, whether they are in a
finished state and in use or in the pro
cess of construction, is to be made the
subject of a diplomatic inquiry.
This action follows the recent visit
of an Entente commission to the big
Augsburg industrial plant for the pur
pose of requisitioning motors which
are subsequently to be dismantled or
destroyed on the ground that they are
suitable for submarines and therefore
war material.
A message from Munich stated that
workers on these motors were coining
to Berlin to protest agiinst seixore of
the Diesel stgtionaryiuotors not us
able for U-boat purposes.
A semi-official statement says that
the inhabition of the manufacture of
the motors used for legitimate par- *
pose would mean a heavy loss to tier
man industry and result in a Mwh
number of workers being out of em
ployment.
