TDRETURN TO
Capt. S. F. Cottle, vetern whnling
ship master of the Arctic ocean, which
he hns invaded each summer for the
past quarter of a century, will return
to the icy sea the coming season as
commander of the power schooner
Kuby. During the seasons of 1943
and 1914 he commanded the famous
old steam whaling bark nelvedere
The Kuby last year entered the Arc
tic with 550 tons of supplies for the
Hudson Hay Company, the Royal
Northwest Mounted Police and the
Stcfansson Arctic expedition, her des
tination being Herschel Island, near
he mouth of the Mackenzie River.
Great fields of ice blocked her passage
to the island and she had to turn
westward and head for Bering sea. She
Placed the supplies In winter quarters
at Teller, Alaska.
The Ruby will snll May 1 from Seat
tle with cargo for the Kuskokwim
River district and nfter discharging in
that river will proceed to Teller, where
she will reload the Herschel Isuand
supplies and then tackle the eastward
Arctic voyage again.
The coming season will be Cottle's
twenty-sixth year in the Arctic ocean.
For seventeen years he sailed under
the flag of the New Bedford Whal
ing Company of Massachusetts with
the result that he knows the Arctic
like a book from the Atlantic side as
well as from the Pacific side, the com
pany’s vessels entering the subpolar
sea from both the major oceans. He
has operated on the Pacific side for
many years.
The supplies in storage at Teller
include seventy-five tons of provisions
for the Stefansson expedition, part of
the shipment consisting of twenty tons
of pemmican. The mounted police
and Hudson Bay Company supplies
consist of general provsions and the
material for three new trading posts
for the fur corporation.
The famous power sonooner Bender
Brothers, will continue in the Seattle
Kuskokwim River route the coming
season, sailing from Seattle April 25.
Captain Knafllch, who has been sailing
out of Seattle for the past eighteen
years and Is one of the best known
masters In the Alaskan trade, will re
tain command of the schooner. Kna
flich was the first man to establish
a regular service between Seattle and
the Kuskokwim district. Seven years
ago he placed the Bender Brothers in
the route and since then the well
known schooner has served as the
connecting link between Seattle and
the Kuskokwim. Shields and Kna
flich have been in partnership for the
past year.

TURKS SUFFER FROM
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
CAUIO. Egypt, Feb. 8—The suffer
ing of the Turkish soldiers in the Ee
banon mountains of Palestine have
been so severe, owing to the exception
al coldnes of the winter, that three
hundred and fifty deaths front expos
ure were reported up to December 25.
Fighting between the Turkish troops
and the natives has occurred at sev
eral points.
A considerable number of Turkish
soldiers was killed at Beersheba re
cently by Bedouin tribsmen. The
1 ttrks, it is said had ordered a ship
meat of 500 camels from the skeikhs
of the tribe, promising to pay $8o on
each delivery. When the camels ar
rived, the Turkish commander offered
$250 for (lie lot. The indignant tribe
men thereupon broke into the Turk
ish arsenal, seized weapons and am
munition anil (led into the desert with
the camels. Soldiers who were sent
out to bring them back were disas
trously defeated; the Bedouins es
caped

GERMAN OFFICER PAYS
TRIBUTE RUSSIAN MEN
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
HANOVER, Feb. 8—The Russian
soldier Is better than is popularly be
lieved. according to the letter of a
German officer, serving with the arm
ies in Poland.
“Near L,- we took about 1,000
prisoners,” wrote the officer “So
the report said. As a matter of fact
we took about 2,000. The first lot
was more or less a thousand, and then,
during the day, a hundred were gath
ered here and another hundred there.!
“It is true that out here, we do not
think much of a thousand prisoners.
But it seems to be different out in
the West. I read for instance that
we had taken 221 prisoners there, and
no doubt, somebody said one French
man or an Englishman Is the equival
ent of ten Russians.
“But that is not true. Among the
prisoners taken here there are many
well built and strong fellows with in
telligent faces, who tielle the stories
of ‘broken-down' Russian soldiers so
generally heard, according to our way
of thinking. The trouble is that he is
too much a part of a machine. If the
Russian soldiers' had our leaders and
commissariat, then France would have
been able to do without her other
1 allies.”

ST. GEORGES IS I
I |
(Hy Associated Proas Correspond) nee)
GHENT, Feb 8--St. Georges, one ol
the points where the Germans and
Allies have fought not for miles ol
territory, but for feet, almost inches
is a ruin today. More than that, 11
is a heap of debris. Other towns and
villages in Flanders are marked at
least by standing walls; St. Georges
Is a winderness of bricks, mortar
charred roof timbers and tiles.
There Is nobody who known how
many times the Allies and the Ger
mans have fought for the place, and
how often It has changed hands. The
French and English have it today and
the Germans tomorrow.
St. Georges is located about two
miles southeast of Eombardzyde, and
formerly marked the point where the
Yser and Plasschen canals connected.
Today the village is an island In the
"inundation” district. A small cause
way gives access to the place. Over
this German sailors and marines have
again and again attacked the place
to the accompaniment of German ar
tillery fire and the rattle of the ma
chine guns of the Allies. On one
occasion German and Allies artillery
bombarded the place simultaneously,
and machine guns sent hail of bul
lets into It from three sides. Why—
nobody knows. The Germans sus
pected that the Allied troops were in
possession of St. Georges and the Al
lies suspected that the Germans were
in it, each side taking it for granted
that the bombardment itself was a
sham maneuver.
Rut for some days now the EnglisfT
have had the place, keeping It prac
tically by virtue of the many machine
guns they have so posted that the
narrow causeway is swept by their
(Ire. The machine gun fire in and
about St. Georges never ceases.
The slow ‘'tack-tack" of the English
guns and the more rapid sputter of
the French mitrailleuses keep up
night and day. Responsible for this
are the German sailors and marines
who continue their efforts to retake
the village.
When the wind sweeps over St.
Georges it carries with it the smell
of decomposing bodies. In the still
ness of the night one hears from there
the groaning of the wounded—of men
who ventured Into or near the place,
and were shot down, and then were
found to be beyond the reach of those
who would succor them. To ven
ture Into the open along the cause
way means either to die or to be
wounded. The very heaps of debris
seem to be animated by the desire to
carry further the destruction of which
they are the result.
At night one also hears the Inces
sant couching of the French African
and Anglo-Indian troops, who seem un
able to stand the rigors of the cold
and damp climate of Flanders.
On the outskirts of the village
stands a little house, upon whose door
have been chalked the words: “Franc
tireur-already disposed of." Not
far from the door lies the body of a
man with the fingers still about the
handle of an open umbrella.
The dyke giving access to the place
would not hold the bodies of those
who have died in their efforts to eilh
er take or retake this island of the
“Inundation lake."
