ANCHORAGE. May 30.—While,

porter. to the same extent as it was
last year by the employes of the

the many diamond athletes taken
fr< n ihe force o1' workers by the -\ar.

tion system will he represented by a
team in the three-club league re
cently organized in Anchorage
Besides the railroad team, the eth
er two teams in the league are the
city team, composed of players from
\nchcvage, and the army Cam. com
posed of soldiers iron, the Fourteenth
infantry dotaedin;cut.
East season the railroad had ttreo
good teams in the field. One of the
teams was made up of employes of
the Anchorage end of the tint, one
of employes in the Turnagain Arm
^district, and one of employes in the
Matanuska district.
The city team this season is hav

THE PRUSSIAN SWORD
By Kenneth b. Roberts
“Answer Wilson With the Sword!”
—Koelnische Volks-Zeitung
What is the Prussian sword? A
flaming blade
That leaps untarnished from its jew
eled sheath
And strikes for truth, and honor's
laurel wreath—
A glorious weapon, strong and un
afraid?
Ah no! The Prussian sword is but
a name
For foul tactics and agencies ob
scene;
For poison gas and ruthless submar
ine;
For coward's blows and deeds of
burning shame;
For nurses smitten down at Mercy's
post;
Polluted wells and sunken Red Cross
ships,
And food snatched out of starving
children’s lips,
And crimes that hell would hesitate
to boast!
The Prussian sword is treachery and
lust;
Cod grant that it be trampled in the
dust!
GANCR BElTlTEO

PARIS, May 30.—The theory that
cancer is not of microbic origin but
is due to the excessive elimination
of certain substances normally con
tained in the blood, is supported by a
report of the researches of Professor
Dubard, just published by the Acad
emy of Medicine.
Finding that the system of cancer
ous subjects was particularly poor in
magnesia. Professor Dubard adminis
tered large doses of it to the
patients operated on for cancer, and
reports encouraging results in a large
number of cases.

LONDON', May 30. -German spies ■
have been a continual source of an !
noyance throughout the recent Brit
ish retirements In France. Many of I
these spies have been detected in;
British uniforms, presumably stolen
from tlie bodies of the slain. A Brit
ish officer in a letter to the Daily
Express, tells of an encounter with
j t wo such spies.
"I had been ordered to take up a
position with the two guns of my
section as our infantry were being
forced back,” he says. “I was on a
crest just in front of my guns ready
and waiting to open fire and observe
the rounds, but the specified time had
not arrived.
“On the right of me was the road,
along which a few minutes before I
had managed to get my guns. It
was packed with infantry, transport. J
guns, prisoners, and stretcher bear-1
ers struggling along with wounded.
Something or other called my attend
tion to two signallers striving to lay
out a wire from the road towards my
observation post. I could hear a gibe
made to them, some witticism which
caused a laugh. Then some one
else’s guns to the left opened fire. In
a few seconds 1 picked up the target,
a blue-grey shadow advancing in ap
parent silence over the top of a crest
two thousands yards away.
“I gave the order to join in the
chorus of guns. The rounds were
l, i i , l 1 ■< ,. I..,,, n t ! i’n lli> oii/l I ninL- r\/l I 1 I i
the range quickly and well, but I
noticed Boehe shells beginning to fall
on and about the road, bursting with
marvellous precision.
“I glanced behind at my guns, just;
as a shell burst one hundred yards in
rear of them and another hundred
I yards in front—a beautiful “braket,”
positively uncanny, as the guns were
in a splendid position and certainly
could not be seen.
“I knew what the braket meant,
and longed to give the “take cover"
order to my gunners hut only for a
momment. Our job was to carry on. 1
So we fired a wav as rapidly as we _
could, for, after all, we do not often
have the luck to shoot at moving
masses of Boches.
“A few minutes later 1 received the
message: “Both guns out ot action,
sir." 1 gazed around with a jerk, and
there below me, sure enough, both
guns were knocked out.
"The Boches had begun another de- _
liberate shoot at the other guns, and
I could see at a glance he was ob
serving his rounds, and correcting
them for line and range, and yet there
were no Hun airplanes up aloft to do
it. A marvellous mystery, t deter
mined to go to niy guns and do my
best to get them in action again, so
off I moved, dodging around the
ancient shell-holes of 1916, jumping
across old German trenches.
“I had hardly gone twenty yards
when I heard a buzz quite close, the
buzz of a field telephone buzzer. I
came up behind two men in khaki
with their familiar blue-and-white -
band of the British signalling corps -
on their arms, evidently the men I had
seen before, one gazing out twoard ,
the batteries on the left, the other
buzzing. Quietly 1 approached. Then
I grasped the situation.
“With a running jump I leaped on
the instrument, yelled, and hit out
with one fist under one jaw and an
other on the back of a square, hard
head.
• < rt:„.». _ _ i_

hardheaded man and a guttural groan
from the other whose jaw I had hit,
who lay apparently stunned.
“Then in a moment I was kicked in
the back, which sent me reeling.
“I picked myself up, to find both!
Bodies tearing away towards Jhe road. j
They had some yards’ start, but 1 j
gave chase. One stumbled and fell, j
i made a rush, and before he could (
raise kicked as I had never kicked
before—a regular, proper punt. That
settled him, and on I went. „
The other ran on when suddenly he
disappeared in a cloud of smoke and
a deafening roar. We had run in front
of one of our own batteries. Pate
decreed the fate of one, but the other
I had settled—with a hob-nailed boot.”
