three generations in the field had just been discovered. The
unusual honor belongs to the family of Kloetzer from Bockwa
near Zwickau. Kloetzer, Sr., a veteran of the war of 1870, in
which he won the Iron Cross second class, volunteered for
service in his 67th year, at the beginning of the war, and went
into the field as captain of the first company of the Zwickau re
serve battalion. He has been advanced to major and has re
ceived the Iron Cross first class.
His son is in the field as captain of the 18th Uhlan regiment,
and his grandson is lieutenant in the 32nd reserve artillery
regiment. Both of the latter have been decorated with the Iron
Cross, second’ class.

BAGS OF EARTH AS
ROME, Aug. 26—The Italian In
fantrymen protect themselves against
shrapnel while advancing on trenches
by crawling on all fours with bags of
earth on their backs. These afford
sufficient protection against ordinary
shrapnel bullets and shell fragments.
On halting^ the men construct tem
porary parapeats with their bags. It
was by this method that the Italians
carried five miles of Austrian en
trenchments on the Carso recently.
IDITAROD PLACERS
FAST DISAPPEARING
Iditarod, the gold-stampeded city of
the North in 1910, will soon be a relic
of the dim and obscure past.
According to Iditaroders who passed
through Juneau recently, many of the
frame buildings in the city are being
torn down, hauled to Flat City, seven
miles distant, and retailed for fire
wood. The main street today looks
like an Indian village during the fish
ing season; everybody is gone or
going.
During its palmy days Iditarod was
a flourishing little city, but the foun
dations of the town crumbled as grad
ually tlje mining claims in the district
were acquired by the big syndicates,
and great machinery supplanted the
miners for the recovery of gold. Flat
City is now the larger of the twin
towns, and will soon become the seat
of trade in that district, according to
all accounts.
Iditarod had two stampedes, the
first being a failure. Stampede No
2, in 1910, was one of the biggest in
the history of the North, although
the fortunes that were made, compa
ratively speaking, were few, and were
divided among a small percentage of
the men who mushed into those dig
gings.

First Irish Army in the Field.
LONDON, Aug. 26—fine of the new branches of Kitchen
er’s army in training now in a camp south of Txmdon, is an
Irish army, commanded by an Irish General. This is the first
time in British history that such a force lias been assembled.
There have always been Trish troops in the British army, and
sometimes they have even been in the majority, but heitherto
the largest purely Trish unit has been the regiment. This is
the first time that an entire Division of Irish troops has been
made up.
The “Irish Division,” as it is technically known, received
its first training on the soil of its native isle, and has only
recently been brought to England. Soon after its arrival it
was inspected by the King and Lord Kitchener, and the latter
set his seal of approval by declaring it “one of the finest divi
sions in the new army.”
Metal Destroying Liquid Is Effective.
DT NKIRK, France, Aug. 26—The Germans are now using i
a metal-destroying liquid on the western front, similar to that
which they have used for some time against the Russian wire
entanglements.
The liquid is contained in cylinder under high pressure.
The cylinder is carried on a soldier’s back like a fire extinguish
er; the turning of a lever releases the liquid, which is thrown in
a stream about ten feet against the barbed wire, burning it
through more quickjy than wirecutters could sever it.
