NORTHERN BLOCK CORDOVA, ALASKA
CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, April 29.—
“What’s happening over there?" is
the most common question asked by
the soldiers at Camp Lewis of a civil
ian, and the biggest topic of conver
sation when a crowd of men gets to
gether during the evening or between
drills.
The men have not the time to read
all the news dispatches from France
in the newspapers. Their days are
taken up with drill and their evenings
with study of amusements. But they
want to know what is going on over
seas.
This was one of the things the Y.
M. C. A. discovered when they
started their high school classes at
the beginning of their work here. Men
did not want to learn grammar, geom
etry, history and Latin, the secretar
V. ies learned. They wanted to study
French, learn the geography of the
country where they may be expected
i to do their share, and they wanted
to learn all about the war from day
to day, the meaning of various phases
of battle and the strategy of move
ments of the allies and the Germans.
J. B. Coan, educational secretary of
building No. 6, is the man who solved
this problem for the Y. M. C. A. here,
and for the association work in all
the camps of the United States. Coan
does all the reading on war subjects
for the men. He has drawn a large
map which adorns the wall of the as
sociation building, and a battle line
designated by pins and various bits of
colored cardboard Is changed from day
to day as troop movements are an
nounced and the offensive is carried
back and forth.
Coan also reads every magazine ar
ticle he can find bearing on the war
and the strategy gf the French front,
and whenever there Is a group of men
gathered around the war map he may
be found in its center, pointing out
places of interest in the day’s news.
He describes the nature of the coun
try in which the battles are being
fought, explains the strength of the
forces engaged as nearly as is made
known in the dispatches, and points
out the places where an attack may
be expected and the consequences
which would follow any big movement
in either direction from this part of
the present battle line.
Virtually every Y. M. C. A. in the
army camps now has adopted this sort
of work in its educational department
as the result of the success achieved
here. Mr. Coan frequently talks to
1,500 men during the day, and when
ever the interest justifies he prepares
lantern slide maps and pictures on
the war to larger groups of soldiers.
Next to French and a study of the
war in classes at night, the most pop
ular class work of the educational de
partment has to do with technical sub
jects having to do with different
branches of the army service.
COP.CH EXONERATED OF
KILLING OF MAGILL
Charles Coach, who shot United
States Commissioner C. Magill at Ke
nai several weeks ago, while the lat
ter was resisting arrest following his
killing of Paddy Ryan, wras exoner
ated by a coroner’s jury. Coach, how
ever, insisted that he be taken before
the grand jury to be exonerated, and
he is now in custody of Deputy Mar
shal Harrington at Seldovia. Coach
will be taken to Valdez from
Seldovia on the first steamer.
At the coroner's investigation of
the double tragedy at Kenai a verdict
was brought in that Ryan came to his
death from gunshot wounds inflicted
by Magill. The verdict severely cen
sured Magill. The next day the cor
oner’s jury examined into the death
of Magill and returned a verdict of
justifiable homicide, death being
caused by two gunshot wounds in
flicted by Coach, one shot in the heart
and the other in the head. Twelve
witnesses testified that Magill died re
sisting arrest.
