NOTED VISITOR '
TELLS OF WORK
IN WAR RELIEF
The presence yesterday in Nenana
of Mrs. Charlotte Cameron, Eng
land's most traveled woman, fur
nishes convincing proof that it pays
to advertise. Mrs. Cameron was ir
London throughout the war. ami
her trip to the Northland is a re
suk of meeting Mrs. George Black
wife of the governor of Yukon ter
ritory, who also was active in wai
relief work in the great metropolis
resided in the same neighborhood
and frequently was engaged in the
same patriotic endeavors, Anc
though the war hung heavily ovei
their heads, literally, in the form oi
air raids, as well as figuratively
they occasionally found time to tali
of other and less disheartening
things, and on those occasions Mrs
Black invariably referred to hei
home in faraway Yukon, the lane
of peace and contentment.
Mrs. Cameron’s visit to Alaskt
and the Yukon country is the resull
of those conversations. Frequem
reference to the Land of the Mid
night Sun had created a desire tc
see the Northland, to feel the free
dom of the great Northern frontier
and to enjoy a summer among peo
ple whose unselfish devotion to the
Allied cause has won for both terri
tories a lasting place in the hearts
of their respective nations.
Mrs. Cameron is a journalist and
author. Fellow of the Royal Geo
graphical society, of London, and
has traveled in nearly every part
of the world. Five months before
the great war started, she was in
Africa, where she gained much first
hand information regarding the man
ner in which the Germans adminis
tered their colonies. That informa
tion, sh-_ said, is one of the things
which brought her to America. She
wants Americans to know how the
Germans treated their native col
onists and hopes ito be able to cre
ate a sentiment against permitting
the Germans to again have the cus
tody and administration of their
former possessions in Africa. The
inhuman manner in which the na
tives were treated, declared the trav
eler, should forever bar the Ger
mans from recovering the colonies.
After her experiences in Africa,
Mrs. Cameron was not surprised
later when the Germans introduced
their deadly gas on the battlefields,
attacked unarmed vessels with their
submarines, and employed their
many other inhuman means of ter
rifying Allied and neutral non-c-om
batants and inflicting punishment
upon non-combatant prisoners.
“You Americans,” said Mrs. Cam
eron to a representative of The
News yesterday, “know very little
of what took place in England dur
ing the war, of the death and de
struction wrought by German air
raiders, whose early ' isits tool: unde
fended and unprepared communities
wholly by surprise and filled the
country with alarm. The people
became more or less accustomed to
the attacks as the war progressed,
and places of refuge were provided
which afforded reasonably good pro
tection in time of raids. Then we
had our aerial defenses, which of
fered additional protection, and fin
ally stopped the German visits al
most altogether. We did not dare
disclose the results of those early
raids for fear the Germans would
profit by the information, and it
had the additional advantage of pre
serving the morale of the people at
home.”
One of the raids, of which the
world did not learn until after the
war had ended, caused the death of
fully 200 women and children who
had sought safety in the basement
of a large printing establishment,
which was supposed to be bomb
and fire-proof. A large bomb, drop
ped by one of the Hun raiders,
struck the roof of the building and
so weakened the structure that sev
eral huge printing machines crashed
through the upper floors, finally
j reaching the basement. The wreck
1 caused the bursting of gas and water
j mains, and those of the refugees
jwho were not crushed by the ma
jchinery were either drowned or
j suffocated, before they could be ex
tricated.
When England entered the war,
Mrs. Cameron lost no time in of
fering her services to her country,
and for four years she divided her
days between Red Cross and can
teen work, and devoted her nights
ito lecturing for other war relief
work. She was up at dawn every
day, and the nights very frequently
were more than half gone befo.re
she found time to rest. And now.
despite the fact that the war is
iover, she is still devoting her time
■ to relief work and her lectures in
Ithe States have enabled her to turn
over substantial sums to the Red
.Cross and other American war re
lief societies. A lecture delivered
at Dawson realized nearly $200 for
one of the Yukon societies.
' Mrs. Cameron visited India in
1911 as representative of the Lon
, don Pictorial, the Ladies’ Home
i Journal and other publications at
!the Imperial Durbar at Delhi, and
; there witnessed one of the greatest
pageants ever staged, with crown
jewels so numerous and dazzling
as to be almost blinding. One of
■ the principal details of the writer
;was to describe minutely each gown
i worn by the queen, and tne task
was an extremely ardous one, owing
jto the very elaborate wardrobe car
jried to India by her majesty. One
of the great apartments of the tem
porary structure occupied by the
royal party was set apart for the
wardrobes, and there was not much
|room to spare. The royal structure
j occupied a site embracing fully 80
! Mrs. Cameron has visited Petro
;grad and made a study of present
j conditions in Russia. One of her
lectures has to do with Bolshevism.
While at Petrograd she was afford
' ed an opportunity to visit the
famous Winter palace, the larges:
palace in the world, and there, in
its treasury, saw the priceless crown
jewels, including the largest black
pearl in the world, and also the
famous Russian diamond. Some
idea of the size of this treasury
may be gathered from the fact that
several regiments of soldiers can
stand at attention in the corridors
without crowding the place.
Several books have been written
by Mrs. Cameron, descriptive of her
travels in South America, in Af
rica, and in other parts of the
world, and it is her intention to
j write a book about Alaska and the
Yukon, after she has completed her
sightseeing trip through the X'orth
|land. She arrived in N'enana on
jithe steamer Yukon, and left for
Fairbanks on that boat this morn
>ing, planning to remain in the up
per town until the arrival of the
steamer Alaska sometime nett
I week. It is possible that she will
go out by way of Nome.
