There had been set up m r ran* “
last November American t(‘l
phone *\changos w ith 14.0.>b lint
i. uhiiu to s stations. Kven the
telephone instruments used were of
special design, combining both tclc
phonio and telegraphic communica
tion and the production of these in
th« quant it \ needed was a problem
in itself.
At the close of hostilities tho
United States had 145 fuMv equipp* 1
telegraph stations in France, which
were handling a du ly average of 4” -
str> pies :;g» s «»f bO words each during

about 5,000 of the peak load.

which beginning with a capacity of
1.S00 pairs of field glasses a year ,r*
tPM had reached an output of 5.500
pairs a week in November. 1018 and
was aiming towards an output of 5 500
pairs a work*by January. 1010. Sim

essary in many other plants. The re

the six-power artillery glass alon*'
was approximately 100.000 pairs and
100,000 pairs were shipped from th »
United States.
The report dc votes considerable
space to discussion of the progress
made in motion picture photography
during the wa»\ Ry these means, it is
pointed out. the signal corps hns
created “a new kind of history of the

Carrier pigeons never before em
ploved extensively in the America!
army, were widely used in France.
Morf than 15 000 were purchased and
trained for that service and the report
adds that ‘‘in actu^1 use on the field

Captain Alex Allan, the only man
who has made the round trip over
land between the Arctic and civiliza

interior after a business trip to Seat

feat. He did it in the winter season
1017-18 and repeated it this year.

.loo Hernard. of Nome, Allan said:
‘•Captain I»evnard set out ii} lilP>
to make the Northwest Passage, trav
eling from we t to east. Nothing has
boon heard of him for more than a
year, but that causes no alarm in the
Arctic. He was at Three River, sev
enty-five mi Vs east of Copper Mine
River, when he was last reported.
“I’nless misfortune has befallen
him, he is continuing his eastward
fight through the Northwest Passage
to Hudson I Say and thence to the At
lantic. If all goes well, 1 expect that
Joe will arrive on the Atlantic nex

Poor Fur Season.
“The past season in the Arctic,”
reports Captain Allan, “has been
marked by small fur catches. Fu.
bearing animals have been scarce,
probably due to the lack of food. Rab
bits again are appearing in tlm
Mackenzie country. Two years ag»
they were plentiful. Fast year they
wore not to be found. This year they
have appeared in limited numbers and
next year they* will probably appear
in great numbers.
Captain Allan is again on hi
way back to the A retie.'lie brought
out a consignment of furs. Wittenburr
will also go back . He is the man who
nursed Stefannson, the Arctic explor
er. at HerschoU island, when the latte*
was ill with typhoid fever. Wittenberg
formerly owned the schooner Chal
lenge hut sold her several years ag)
to Stcfansson. The explorer later sold
her to Captain Noice. who in turn sold
her last fall. Wittenberg now owns the
schooner Sea Wolf, lying at Juneau,
and will go hack into the Arctic on
that vessel when navigation opens.
Register For Mar
Captain Allan deserted the Arctic
last fall to come down and register
for the military draft and was ready
to get into uniform, but the signing
of the armistice ended his chances of
going to 1* ranee. He then set out on
the return journey to the Arctic. At
Cordova he was quarantined five days
ami at Fairbanks had another ton
days of the same treatment, because
of the influenza epidemic.
“There has never been a case of
influenza in the interior disticts of
Alaska through which I traveled hi
going to and from the Arctic," he sal l
“There was a rumor that natives nt
Copper Center, fifty mites north .of
Chitina. had contracted the malady,
but later it was reported that it wai
not a case of influenza but of wood
alcohol.”
