RETIRED AFTER
YEARS OF
SERVICE
Among the passengers arriving
on yesterday's train from Chitina was
John Young, first-clnss sergeant in
the U. S. Signal corps, who, through
his many years of service in the U.
S. Army has earned his retirement.
For thirty years Sergeant Young has
served his country and now reaps the
reward of n duty well and faithfully
done. For the past two and one
I half yenrs Sergeant Young lias been
in charge of the military telegraph
station at Korkrines.
Sergeant Young is 52 years of age,
and while he Is not as robust as when
he first enlisted, he is still good for a
long hike, and can keep up his end
on a march as well today as any re
cruit. During his service Sergeant
Young took part in the suppression of
the Philippine uprising, was among
the first of the American soldiers to
go to Cuba, and lias served consid
erable time in Alaska.
Retiring as a first-class sergeant the
soldier is entitled to transportation to
any point in the United States, after
which he will receive about $75 a
month for the remainder of his life.

BIG FREIGHT OUTFIT
on my TO CHITINU
W. E. Terrill, the overland freight
er, left the city this morning for Chit
Ina with one of the biggest londs that
has gone out of here over the big trail
In many months. He took eighteen
tons, requiring fourteen head of horses
and four drivers to handle. A large
quantity of the freight, was road com
mission supplies for use daring the
coming season, also there was consid
erable other stuff for roadhouses along
the trail. One lot went across the
summit and far down the other slope,
which is a powerful commentary on
the ability of our local merchants.
This lot was shipped in from Seattle
via the Pacific ocean, Bering Sea and
the Yukon river, and now goes almost
in a circle again to Cordova. The E.
R- Peoples Co was the shipper of this
and most of the freight that Terrill
took out. His fine horses were the
subject of much favorable comment
on the street as the caravan moved
through them and out Cushman to hit
the trail. Terrill expects to be gone
a month, and this will be his last trip
over the ice.—Fairbanks News-Miner.

LONDON, Feb. 27—The first con
signment of disabled German prison
ers to be exchanged for English
wounded, included two officers and
92 men. To spare the feelings of
the broken warriors, the arrangements
for their departure from England were
kept secret, and only a handful of
spectators saw them as they left the
Victoria station, London, or as they
embarked a few hours later from Folk
Btone for Flushing, Holland.
The men were gathered from all
parts of England. Most of them
had an arm or a leg missing. Every
man had to be carried on a stretcher,
and British surgeons had carefully
certified that none of them would ever
be able to fight again.
From London to Folkstone they
traveled in a special Ked Cross ambu
lance train, which was strictly guard
ed and had every blind drawn. The
patients were In charge of five doctors
and 25 Red Cross Orderlies and nurses
under command of Lord Onslow.

BROKE THROUGH ICE
AND FROZE TO DEATH
One of the grim tragedies of the
North was enacted on the Johnson
river a few days ago, whereby Hen
ry Thorsen, a young prospector re
turning to his camp, lost his life.
From all appearances young Thorsen
and his outfit went through the Ice
enroute up the Johnson. He man
aged to get out In a wet condition,
and tried to start a fire but failed.
Then he endeavored to make a small
cabin five miles this side of his own
camp, one occupied by Wesley and
Grlmsmoe. He managed to get with
in a mile of it, when he could travel
no more and froze to death on the
trail.

FAIRBANKS EPXERIENCES
i AN EARTHQUAKE SHOCK
—
Last week a fairly life-sized earth
quake shook the Fairbanks country,
and according to telegraphls reports
was felt all along the Tanana valley.
At Nenana it was much stronger than
at Fairbanks and down as far as Hot
Springs it created quite a shake. No
damage was done. In all, the quake
lasted about 20 seconds, starting with
a good shock and dying out in two or
three lesser ones.
An interesting incident In connec
tion with It is the fact that the Fair
banks signal corps office had informa
tion on it from all along the division
within five minutes or less after it
occurred.
In connection with the shocks also
might be mentioned the fact that
several Fairbanks people report hav
ing seen smoke Issue from over In
the Mount Hayes country along the
Alaskan range. The men on duty
at the N. C. Plant climbed to the roof
and looked at the phenomenon for
some time with a powerful field glass.
Then a haze settled down over the
mountains and nothing more was
seen.

SWITZERLAND’S SUPPLY
OF WHEAT CUT OFF
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
GENEVA, Feb. 27—The price of
bread has increased from 25 to 20
per cent in Switzerland in three
weeks, while the size and quality of
the loaves have diminished. Ship
pers will not take the risk of sending
wheat down the Rhine to Base'., as
Germany has not given out a defi
nite statement as to traffic on the
Rhine. Southern Russia supplied
most of the grain to Switzerland and
this country now depends upon Amer
ica for grain through Genoa and Mar
sailles, but these two ports are con
gested with goods and the former is
temporarily closed. The Swiss mills
cannot till their orders and in Geneva
alone fourteen bakers closed their
shops within the last two days.
Switzerland is "supporting” a pop
ulation of foreign nationalities num
bering well over a million. Germany
has practically closed her southern
frontier against this country, involv
ing much hardship on the inhabitants
of both countries in the neutral zone.
Passports, costing six marks, are now
necessary to cross the frontier for
workmen. The milkmen at Kreuz
lingen, who carry mild, butter and
cakes to the Germans daily, struck
and were supplied with passes.
Navigation on Lake Constance,
which is patrolled by German boats,
is practically at a standstill, and no
boat is allowed near the Zeppelin
works at Friedrichshoffen, or off the
shore. A new German order states
that any boat approaching Fried
richshoffen will be fired upon, and
that all Swiss fishermen must fly the
Swiss flag in the future.

DARING DASH
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
BERLIN, Feb. 27-Darlng exploits
which won quick renown for an Aus
trian cavalry officer In Galicia, are re
nted in newspaper correspondence
fro mthat section.
The Austrian headquarters had
learned that the Russians were bring
ing forward reinforcements. Avia
tors were sent out to learn the size of
them, but the weather wns foggy and
the scouts were unable to find the
Russians. An unnamed cavalry of
ficer, who appears as the hero of the
narrative, stepped forward and asked:
"Shall I ride through the lines?"
HIr superiors laughed nt the bold
offer, but after some hesitation agreed
to accept It when fifteen other caval
rymen agreed to make up the scout
ing party. By choosing the lonely
forest road the riders succeeded in
theln plan of passing through the
Russian lines at night. By day they
concealed themselves in deep thickets,
but nt night they trotted boldly along
the main highway with their Austrian
uniforms covered with hrown mantles
and fur caps pulled down over their
regulation helmets.
They met a Russian cavalry divis
ion led by a Circassian prince ad
vancing to take part in the battle at
the front, and their mounts almost
touched flanks with the Russian hors
es as they passed by, unrecognized.
Late at night the Austrian party took
refuge In a deserted farm house, where
the men tried ti sleep until morning.
Refore daybreak a murmur of voices
was heard and a large party of Cos
sacks was seen approaching the place.
The Austrians hurriedly mounted to
the attic where they stood with their
carbines cocked ready to shoot down
the first Cossack who might show his
face in the stairway. The Russians,
however, contented themselves with
a short stay on the first floor and
then rode away without even inspect
ing the outbuildings where the Aus
trians had stabled their horses.
The following night the party of
scouts rode along a path in the wood
ed hills when suddenly a Russian pa
trol barred their way with the cry of
"Halt!” The Austrians were mo
tionless for a few seconds when their
leader commanded “At Them!” ana
not one of the Russians escaped with
his life.
Concealed the next day in the thick
ets, the Austrians were able to see
heavy columns of Russians in retreat
along the nearby road. The Aus
trlan advance had evidently begun.
For hours the masses of infantry, ar
tillery and baggage trains hurried by
tow'ard the adjacent river, crossing a
temporary bridge. On the top of the
hill across the river the Russians
halted apparently with the in
tention of taking up a position there.
The Austrian cavalry officer who
was leading the scouting party had
sent a handfull of men across the
river to watch the Russian movement.
He feared this little group might be
in danger, and so he decided a dare
devil trick of bluffing the Russians by
charging the bridge with his little
party. The dozen men galloped wild
ly across the fields toward the bridge,
there they met the advance guard of
their own infantry, and, encouraged
by this, they dashed at the Russians,
who evidently believed that large
masses of Austrian cavairy were com
ing after them. They hastily re
sumed their retreat.
