WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, Aug. L—(By Mall)—Dirt
you ever stop to think what becomes
of all the worn out equipment of an
army composed of millions of men?
At the outset of the present w'ar
much of this was pure loss. Now in
the British army there Is an "old
clothes man," and the profits he re
ports back to his boss, John Bull,
might make Morgan. Rockefeller or
Carnegie envious.
The old clothes man "saves the
scraps." He makes new things out
of old. He cleans up the battlefields
and camps, and very little Js wasted
nowadays. His Job Is to collect every
thing from a horseshoe nail to a dis
ordered siege gun. and put It Into com
mission.
Brass objects which have lost their
usefulness are melted Into ingots;
cast-iron Junk becomes pig-iron;
bronze, tin, steel, nickel and every
thing of the kind which has Irretriev
ably lost Its shape la put Into melting
pots to be born again in another guise
keeping up an eternal transmigration,
but serving all the while.
I recently visited one of these scrap
saving and repair shops. About 12,000
people are employed, mostly French
women and girls. Here great howittz
ers are ropalred and government chro
nometers have their hair springs re
adjusted; tents are patched and mend
ed and covers are made for steel hel
mets; artillery wheels are repaired
and micrometers put true again.
There is a wood working Bhop, a foun
dry for running brass, bronze, zinc,
tin and Iron; a boot repair depart
ment; a great machine shop; a gas
mask repair department and many
others.
In one room there were hundreds
and hundreds of rifles. “This is one
day's arrivals," the commanding offi
cer explained. “By tonight the room
must be cleared to make room for to
morrow's arrivals."
Many of the rifles were muddy and
rusty as though picked out of the
mud on the battlefield. Women were
cleaning these. In one corner a sol
dier was rhythmically swinging the
rifles up, one by one, to a rest and
squainting through the barrels at a
light to see if they were bent or if
the rifling was damaged. The officer
explained this was obviously the first
bit of Inspection, because It would be
a waste to repair other parts of the
rifles If the barrel was damaged.
These rifles pass on down the line.
WJten they reach the end they are as
good as new, and after being oiled,
are packed in boxes and shipped back
to the front. \

SCOURING SOUTHEASTERN
ALASKA FOR 100 DEER.
# ■ %
Charles H. HUL better known as
“Senator" HlllMfrrlved on the steam
ship Alakka to secure more deer from
isoutheastem Alaska for the Islands
to the westward.
The "Senator" last year took from
this section some deer, the funds for
which were raised by the Cordova
Chamber of Commerce, and turned
them loose on the Islands near Cor- j
dova. where they have lmcn seen ami j
arc reported to he “rolling faL"
The legislature at Its last session
provided n fund for transferring deer
from this section to the Islands to the
westward, and Senator Hill Is now
here to Bee the governor and make i
use of the fund for the purpose for j
which It was created.
Alaskans have often speculated why
deer were so abundant In southeastern
Alaska, and wore not found farther
westward, where condition* were Just
as favorable for their propagation,
and 11 was Senator Hill who gave the
reason. He stated that owing to the
immense glaciers running from the
coaHt Inland, the deer were barred
from reaching the malnlnnd and Is
lands to the westward. Juneau Ills

RAINS HAVE STOPPED WORK
CHITINA-FAIRBANKS TRAIL.
Col. W. I\ Richardson, chairman of
the Alaska road commission has re
ceived a telegram from J. H. Ingram,
superintendent of the Valdez section
of the road work, telling of the con
dition of the Valdez Chltina-Falrbanks
road from that place to Fairbanks. Su
perintendent Ingram has Just com
pleted a trip over the entire road and
reports that from Valdez to (lulkana
the road Is In excellent condition.
From (lulkana to Fairbanks the
foad Is bad, due to unusually heavy
rains and also due to the exceedingly
heavy travel which has cut the surfac
ing of the road all to pieces. Mr.
Ingram states that the rain has now
stopped and that If It remains clear
the road will be. In excellent condl
tlon by the end of the month.
Ten crews are at work on the road
and twelve men are working entire
ly on maintenance of the Valdez-Chl
tina-Falrhanks road Mr. Ingram states
that his force Is about 40 men short,
and that men are impossible to find
for road work.
Captain J. C. Hehaffey wired from
St. Michael that he is starting from
that point up river and will return to
the coast by way of Fairbanks. He
