BERLIN, Sept. 1—Next to naming
a new baby or a statute or a bridge or
tower after Hinddnberg, granting the
freedom of a city to the commander of
a successful submarine is Germany's
popular diversion at present. No less
than four naval commanders have
thus been honored and have been
made "honor citizens” of communities
large and small.
The first one to be thus recognized
was Frigate Captain von Mueller,
commander of the sea raider Emden.
The city of Emden, after the ship’s
destruction, named von Mueller its
honor citizen, while his birthplace,
Blankenburg, paid him similar tribute.
The city of Karlsruhe took the same
steps in the case of Frigate Captain
Erich Koehler, commander of the
Karlsruhe, and Otto Weddigen, cap
tain lieutenant of the IJ-9 and the U-29,
who perished with the latter sub
marine, has been similarly honored by
his birthplace, Herford. The latest
case is that of the city of Kreuznach,
which has conferred its freedom on
Captain Lieutenant Hersing, com
mander of the U-21 and the U-51.

MOUNT M'KINLEY WAS
FIRST SEEN IN1794
The giant of the Alaka range be
held by Steller in 1741 was Mount St.
Elias, and 151 years were to pass be
fore the Italian Duke of Abruzzi plant
ed his foot upon the summtt after
Americans and Englishmen had tried
vainly to attain it.
Mount McKinley was first reported
in May, 1794, by George Vancouver,
the British navigator, who at the time
was surveying the head of Cook Inlet.
He described McKinley and Its neigh
bor, Foraker, as "distant stupendous
mountains covered with snow and ap
parently detached from each other.”
The Russians called the greatest moun
tain in their Alaskan domain "Bul
shaia Gora," which means pimply
“Great Mountain,” and to the native
tribes it was known as Denali, Doleyka
and Tralekr.
Princenton graduate, W. A. Dickey,
a prospector and miner, who explored
the Susitna river in 1896, was respon
sible for naming the great mountain
McKinley; and to the neighbor peak
Capt. J. S. Herron, U. S. A., gave the
name of Foraker three years later.
The first man who tried to scale
McKinley was the Hon. James Wick
■
ersham Judge of the District of Alaska, i
and now terltorial delegate to con
gress. He was somewhat of a moun
tain climber, having ‘“d'one" Mount
Rainier, but he got no higher on the !
flank of the Alaskan Alp than 10,000 j
feet. More than one desperate siege
was to be made of McKinley before
the “mushers,” Thomas I-loyd and Pete
Anderson, gained the slightly lower
south summit and Dr. Stuck finally
won the supreme height. Prof. Her
schell Parker, of Columbia, and Bel
more Brown on their third attempt
fell short by a few hundred feet. “One
of the heroic euisodes In the annals
of Alaska mountaineering," Mr.
Brooks calls their great adventure.

CHISANA BILLY HURT
WHILE AFTER BERRIES
( hisana Billy Williams and friend
went looking for blueberries back of
West Dawson, on the Glacier trail.
Isaac Dusk put Billy next to "all
kinds of berries.” where he could see
one berry and imagined he could see
bushels. Billy's horse smelled bruin
in the neighborhood of the Eigthteen
mile roadhouse site, and took to his
heels across country. At the time
the horse ran away Billy and his
friend were walking behind the rtg.
Billy jumped In and endeavored to
stop the horse, but the line broke and
he either fell or was thrown out. Bill
was hit by nearly every part of the
vehicle on the side on which he made
his exit. • Result: A very badly dam
aged shoulder and arm, one knee badly
lacerated and the calf of his right leg
severely cut. Bill is under the doctor's
care, and hopes to be all right in a
week or so.—Dawson News.
