Cordova’s courtesy in sending a ball team over here
two veai*s a?o and the friendlv visits of her business men
from time to time will be returned with interest when our
team goes over on the Fourth.
Seward’s business men and their families are going
along to extend tiie right hand of fellowship to our neigh
bors on Prince William sound to congratulate Cordova on
her extensive canning industry and the tremendous in
crease in her copper business and invite the Cordovans to
call in and make themselves at home any old time the boat
ties up at the dock.
On the return trip they will call at Valdez and pay
their respects to the vigorous men who are conducting
mineral activities in that locality, salute the officers and
men at Fort Liseum and tell them that the latch string is
alwavs out.

As for that ball team of ours, well of course it will en
deavor to bring home both scalps, and probably will suc

ALL’S NOT WELL ON THE RHINE
Bill of the Wilhelmstrasse put in an uneasy night.
Visions of women and children drowning in the Atlan
tic, while cinema men on nearby U-boats turn a crank to
faithfully record the deed, of women and children drown
ing in the Mediterannean, of other women and children
drowning in the rivers of Turkey: of wounded ami Red
Cross nurses dying under the waves of the Nprth sea, are
not conducive of a restful night at any time, but Bill was
unusually restless last night.
Hindenberg had been caught off guard again.
Poor Hindenberg, the master soldier, fighting for the
wrong against the right, doomed to defeat, who had open
ly boasted of checking the drive: that the allies had shot
their bolt and failed, bent the line but not broken it; that
they could not last long enough or provide sufficient
strength to break through.
And Bill fell for it and wired the kaiserine that all was
well.
And that he Had Argentine Republic on his side,
And Colombia,
And Venezuela,
And that the allied bombardment of the Belgian coast
had failed,
And that the American entry into the war was a joke.:
And that his airplanes were strafing England again.
And that as soon as vegetables had been raised on the
fertilizer,
And pigs on the pigs’ food,
And nitro-glycerine had been manufactured out of the
fat Of his soldiers killed on the Arras drive
And women executed here and there,
He would win the war and collect all the money in the,
world as an entrance fee from defeated barbaians who
would then be admitted for a “Kourse in Kulture Kollege,”
or words to that effect.
About that time Sir Douglas Haig (the Prussian guard
will now sing the hymn of hate) blew up several miles of
the trenches in Belgium.
Tanks swanked in along with swarms of Tommies.
And the boys from Maple Leov land collected a little
interest on the Ypres gas debt.
It’s a great day out some how or other Bill is more
poorly than usual.

the trail in such shape that he will not attempt to get
through. He is at Eat-’em-up Frank’s-and will stay there
until the boats run.” v
“Roy Lamb says that it’s lots more pleasant holding
down a sack of oats on the way to Mile 20 than it is watch
; ir,g the trail from the back of a critter with a spinal struc
ture like the Sawtooth range of mountains, and which crit
ter persisted in stepping in every hole and stumbling over
every hummock in sight. Roy met up with a team out the
road a spell and as his conscience was bothering him for
riding a horse so hard—he said it was—he 'lowed he’d ride
on a sack of oats the rest of the way. It was only a couple
of miles, but although he claims to have ridden all the way
! he maintains that he didn’t feel like walking that remain
ing two miles.”
