OVERSEAS BOYS
SHOWN MOVIES
FROM_ HOME
PARIS, Feb. 20 (Correspondence of
the Associated Press).—The-Ameri
can soldier wants, more than anything
else in the world right now, to go
home. For the 500,000 or more who
still have weary weeks ahead of them
here and with the army of occupa
tion the next best thing is to see pict
ures of their home towns.
These pictures are being shown to
them in the miles and miles of films
called "Smiles,” distributed to the
camps by the community motion pict
ure bureau of the Young Men's Chris
tian Association. Probably there are
a hundred miles of tne films.
The movies are taken everywhere, 1
from Times Square to the Cliff House.
They show the familiar streets and
the familiar landmarks and the
familiar faces and then they are
rushed over here to the boys and to
says that they are welcome is putting
it mildly indeed.
The pictures are not shown indis
criminately. When a picture from
New York, or Kansas City, or Seattle,
or anywhere else, arrives it is sent
immediately to the military organiza
tions hailing fnom that particular lo
cality and it only need3 a simple an
nouncement to the effect that a home
town movie will be shown to pack the
Young Men’s Christian Association
hut or theater to the limit us many
times as it is possible to show the
film before taps blows.
Some days ago in Coblenz, while a
picture from Chicago was being
shown, a soldier rose from his seat
and shouted, “There’s my dog," then,
after a pause he added, "and that’s
my brother with him.”
Many a boy over here has seen some
of his relatives in these pictures, and
they are more successful than the
latest humorous film or the newest
drama.

SINCE DECEMBER 27, 1917.
Valdez has had no fire requiring a
run by the fire department since De
cember 27, 1917, when Kenny Ru
dolph’s dwelling in Happy Court called
out the department This is an un
precedented record and we believe
that it is the best of any town In the
territory. The department is in excel
lent shape, a quantity of new hose
having been purchased the past year,
and other supplies added. The equip
ment comprises one steam fire engine,
one hand brake fire engine, one large
chemical engine, and several smaller
chemicals, and a hook and ladder cart
and several hose carts, ladders, etc.
The city has an electrical system
of gongs running to all parts of town
and the large bell at the flrehall is also
rung by electricity. The outfit is the
most complete of any in Alaska and
represents a large sum of money.
▼
AFFINITIES WERE NUMEROUS
Over in one of the government
tonus where a moving picture show
was recently started, just before the
show began, the proprietor stepped
up to the front and said: “Ladies and
1 gents, there’s a tough guy outside who
says he is going to kill his wife and
the man that brought her to this show.
To avoid trouble I’d advise the couple
to step out of the rear door right
away.”
Fourteen couples got up and shot
out of the rear door.

RYAN LODE OF FAIRBANKS
WILL SELL STOCK SOON
A new mining company was born
in Fairbanks when the owners of the
famous,Ryan lode claims got together
and incorporated an Alaska company
with a capital stock of $500,000. The
Ryan lode comprises eight quartz
claims situate on the divide between
Eva and St. Patrick’s creek, and de
velopment work already done has un
covered a large ledge of gold bearing
ore and now that the war is over and
conditions will soon become normal
again with reduced cost of supplies
and better facilities for transportation
it is believed the property can be
made to pay. There is no doubt but
what the Ryan lode is the source of
the placer deposits found on Bva and
St Patrick’s creek, and the owners
believe a little further work on the
ledge will develop a mine.

SAN FRANCISCO, March' 21.—
Willie Ritchie, former lightweight
champion of the world, has been of
fered a number of opportunities for
further matches, accompanied by sub
stantial monetary compensation, since
receiving the newspaper and popular
decision over Benny Leonard, the
present title holder, in their recent
four-round bout. That Ritchie will
again appear in the ring In important
contests is <taken as a foregone con
clusion by his friendC
Ritchie frankly admits that he was
surprised at the showing he made.
While he expected to hold his own, he
says he hardly hoped for the success
attained after being so long at time
put of the ring. Those who watched
Ritchie in his fights during his tenure
pf the lightweight title practically are
agreed that he has lost none of his
punching power and strength, or his
ability to get about the ring. They
point to his lack of judgment in the
matter of distance, as evidenced by
the number of punches that went wild,
as his most glaring fault. This, it is
claimed, will be rectified as soon as
he begins regular and continued box
ing.
Inquiry among followers of the ring
reveals that there are any number of
persons who are of the opinion that
Ritchie is as good as he ever was and
that in a long fight, in which he is con
sidered ^at his best, the former cham
pion must be rated a contender, irre
spective of who, among the present
day light and welterweights, may be
pitted against him.
Notwithstanding his long absence
from the ring Ritchie has kept in
excellent physical condition. A factor
contributing to this has been his work
as boxing instructor at Camp Lewis,
Tacoma. Wash. Here, for a year, Rit
chie would take on a score or more of
men a day for a few rounds each, thus
getting more actual physical workouts
than the pugalist engaged in ring con
tests. To this, in a large measure,
is ascribed his recent successful re
appearance in the ring.
Unusual interest attaches to Rit
chie’s "comeback” for the reason that
if he decides to again take up fighting
he will be a legitimate contender for
the welterweight title now accorded
to Ted Lewis, thus adding an Interest
to this division, by his popularity,
which has been negligible for some
tune.
iJfciWVEK, Marcn 21.—uenver ngm
followers denied the opportunity of
seeing a professional boxing contest
this winter because of the influenza
epidemic, are awaiting eagerly the
gong which will send Mike Gibbons,
the St. Paul middleweight, and Len
Rowlands of Milwaukee on their ten
round bout here. The fight will be at
the Stock Yard Stadium.
Neither man has appeared in a Den
ver rin& previously. Gibbons, near
companion of middleweights, was one
of the first top-notchers to offer his
services to Uncle Sam as a boxing in
structor. He has been at Camp Dodge
for more than a( year, being dis
charged a few weeks ago. Soon after
entering the government service Gib
bons was made chief instructor over
all army camps. Experts say he is
one of the most clever boxers in the
business.
Rowlands started his boxing career
in 1913. He has fought nearly all the
good middleweights since that time
and says he has never been knocked
off his feet in a ring battle. Rowlands,
too, has been in the army in an East
ern camp a3 an instructor.
