ALASKA’S GLACIER BEAR
SUBJECT BE DISPUTE
JUNEAU, May 14.—Contrary to a
belief popular among big game hunt
ers that the blue glacier bear of
Alaska is of a distinct species, A1
Hasselborg, who, with Dr. Harry S.
Worth, curator of mammals at the
University of California, has made a
special study of these animals, as
serts that the great, morose haunter
of the ice rivers is no more than a
color phase of the common black
bear. Mr. Hasselborg, who has been
studying Alaskan bear for nearly
twenty years, is regarded as one of
the best posted men in the territory
on the animals.
Other men, taking exception to Mr.
Hasselborg’s statement, point out
that the blue glacier bear is more
“rangy” in build than the black. They
are likewise more vicious, it is as
serted, and have been known to at
tack a man on sight, and keep com
ing so long as the breath of life re
mains in them.

A number of Fort Liscum and Val
dez residents are planning a splendid
program for the benefit of the Red
Cross. The affair will be given at Fort
Liscum on the 25th of this month, in
Cordova the first of June and in Ella
mar on the 2nd. About thirty per
sons will take part in the program,
which is varied, consisting of songs,
minstrels, recitations and sketches,
and will be followed by dancing.—

JUVENILE MUSICIAN
DBING GOOD IRK
EL PASO, Tex., May 14.—Little
Anna Douglas, aged eight, is the
youngest entertainer on the program
of the war stamp entertainment com
mittee. Recently this little pianist
gave a free concert at the Woman
club building at which war stamps
were sold, each auditor being ex
pected to purchase at least one war
stamp. The little musician planned
and carried out the program without
assistance.

MOSCOW, May 15.—Through the
capture of Rostov the Germans have
gained control of the Caucasus grair
districts of the basin of the Don. The
coal, iron and oil fields of northern
Russia are now cut ofT from the Cau
casus except for a single railroad,
which the Germans are now threaten
ing.
Coupled with the fall of Set .atopol
and the overthrow of the Ukranian
rada and the establishment of a hour
geoise government wholly under Ger
man domination, the capture of Ros
tov has created great uneasiness in
Moscow and Petrograd.
The German advance in central
Russia is greatly feared, and it is
considered that the Soviets must
either submit to the Germans or re
treat to the eastward.

Keep that one big thought in mind.
The financial part of the war is as important as the physi
cal though not as glorious.
An important thing is a bank account. We would advise
you to open an account if you have not already done so with
The Bank of Alaska
