TRICKY DEFENSE
ON FIRING LINE;
With American Armies in France.
Barbed wire which protects the
trenches plays odd tricks on the sol
dier sentries.
The ground under the wire be
comes a runway for all the small
things of the night. Rats make
trapezes out of the taut strands,
weasels follow them and the fight'
which ensues may set dancing all
the empty jam tins strung along
the wire as alarms so that sentries
over a long stretch of front will
fire repeatedly into the night, bring
ing the guards to their posts and
awaking soldiers over a wide area.;
At night the wire takes on a
ghastly aspect. The cool dews settle
on the picket posts and the wires
contract, straining with little rust
ling and creeping noises of chafing
and chattering like a living thing.
The muffled sentries prick up their
ears to listen and peer anxiously
through the darkness, now and then
discharging a shot into the black
night, for it is sometimes difficult
to tell whether the noise is that
of the wire or that of enemy med
dlers in No Man’s Land, secretly
cutting a pathway through the de
fenses.
When the barbed wire is new
and freshly erected and secured to
its stout scoffol\ings and stakes
it looks like some carefully planned
work of engineering, the skeleton
perhaps of some concrete rampart
or breakwater. Time weathers it
at first to an ugly thing of red rust
and sullen neutral tints, but later
it may blossom in amazing beauty
as the rich weeds and undergrowth
climb thru its meshes, leaving corn
flowers and blazing poppies to cloak
its ugliness.
The wire has a voice of its own.
It sings and drones in the wind,
carrying back the memories of the
men who sit behind it to the dusty
roads of Connecticut or Missouri or
Alabama, where the tall telegraph
poles sing a similar song and lazy
insects re-echo the chorus.
KOLAND’S STAGES
TO OPERATE SOON
Knut Kolarul, who has for many
seasons past, maintained a freight,
mail and passenger stage service
between Nenana and Fairbanks, is
preparing to commence operations
again this season. Ke expects to
leave on the first trip to the upper
town just as soon as the Tanana
river freezes over sufficiently hard
to allow of the passage of his teams. ;
He has the contract for the carry-!
ng of the mails between Fairbanks!
and Nenana, and will probably take i
:he first mail on the winter schedule ■
'or Fairbanks.
Koland arrived in town only re
:ently from his camp a few miles;
'rom towm on the Ne\ana-Vairbanks!
ine, having completed a grading!
contract with the Commission.
BRITISH AIRMAN DOWNS
BIG GERMAN ZEPPELIN
LONDON.—It was a combination
>f “magnificent heroism” and “good
uek” that Sub-Lieutenant R. A. ,1. j
Varneford brought down the first
'eppelin destroyed by an airplane,
iccording to a semi-official state- j
nent. • - vr
“He was flying high when he
ighted a Zeppelin,” the statement
ontinues, “otherwise he could not
rith the Morane monoplane he Lew,
lave made the height necessary to
;et over the Zeppelin. He effected
he airship’s destruction by means of
bomb, a feat in whien goi J for
une favored him.
“The force of the explosion turned
iis machine clean over, and stopped
is engine. Only by the greatest
iresence of mind and skill thd he
take a safe landing in Belgium and
nly by that intimate knowledge of
he engine, did he maw*.g», single
anded, to restart his e.lgiu > and to
ly his machine to the llritisn hi ts.”
George Hainzinger, who arrived ^
here recently from the mouth of
the Yukon, where he was engaged
in fishing, left for Fairbanks yester
day.
