BISHOP CRIMONT ON
ANNUAL INSPECTION TOUR
Very Reverend Father Crimont,
bishop in charge of the Catholic |
missions in Alaska, was a passenger j
on the steamer Reliance, bound for
Fairbanks, where he expects to re
main for a few days before resuming
his travels for the season.
Bishop Crimont is on his annual
tour of all of the Roman Catholic
missions in Alaska. He had just
concluded visits to the church build
ings at Holy Cross and the missions
at Nulato and Tanana. boarding the
Reliance at the last mentioned point
for the run up to Fairbanks.
The bishop was much impressed
with the growth of Nenana and |
thought it was a very fine looking
town. He will probably pay a short •
visit to Nenana before going out to ;
the States in the fall- where he j
usually spends the winter.
Many of the canneries in the Third
division are closing down after a
very succeessful season’s run. Some
of the concerns made record packs.
In Valdez the packing company
made a record of nearly 65,000
cases.
THE KAISER CALLS SATAN FOB
ADVICE.
The kaiser called the Devil up
On the telephone one day,
And the girl at the central listened
To all they had to say.
“Hello!” she heard the kaiser say,
Is old man Satan home?
Just tell him it is Kaiser Bill
That wants him on the phone.
The Devil said hello to' Bill,
And Bill said, How are you.
I’m running a hell here on earth
So tell me what to do.
What can I do? the Devil said,
My dear old Kaiser Bill.
If there’s a thing that I can do
To help you, I sure will.
The kaiser said, Now listen
And 1 will try to tell
The way that I am running
On earth, a modern hell
I’ve saved for this for many years
And I’ve started out to kill.
That it will be a modern job,
Yog leave to Kaiser Bill.
My army went through Belgium
Shooting men and children down,
We tore up all her country
And blowed up all her towns.
My Zepps dropped bombs on cities,
Killing both old and young.
And those the Zeppelins did not get
Were taken out and hung.
I started out for Paris,
With the aid of poisonous gas.
The Belgians, dam ’em, stopped us
And would not let us pass.
My submarines are devils,
Why, you should see them fight.
They go sneaking through the sea
i And will sink a ship on sight.
I was running things to suit me,
’Till a year or so ago;
j When a man named Mr. Wilson
Wrote me to go more slow.
, He says to me, Dear William,
i We don’t want to make you sore
So be sure to tell your U-boats
I To sink our ships no more.
We’ve told you for the last time,
So, dear Bill,, it’s up to you.
And if you do not stop it,
! Vou have got to fight us too.
I did not listen to him,
And he’s coming after me
j With a million Yankee soldiers
From their homes across the sea
| That’s why I called you, Satan,
For I want advice from you.
I know that you will tell me
Just what I ought to do.
My dear old Kaiser William,
There’s not much for me to tell.
For the Yanks will make it hotter
Than I can for you in Hell.
I’ve been a mean old Devil,
But not half as bad as you,
And the minute that you get here,
I will give my job to you..
I’ll be ready for your coming,
And I’ll keep the fires bright,
And I’ll have your room all ready,
When the Yanks begin to fight!
Uncle Sammy’s boys will get you,
I have nothing more to tell,
Hang up the phone and get your hat
And meet me here in Hell.
Behind the British Lines in France j ‘
—The British aviation communique:
freqently contains a brief line to ■
record that “direct hits were ob-!
tained upon an enemy dump at —j
some point behind the German lines, j
This colorless announcemnt may j
seem to the reader in America noth-!
ing more than the record of a dull j
piece of routine, but the deed itself j
is different from its record.
American airmen attached to the j
British squadrons have long since j
found out that the business of bomb !
inp: “dumps” often is exiciting and j
spectacular work. Moreover, the
importance of its effect upon enemy
plans and operations can hardly
be exaggerated. A well-aimed hit
on a store of German ammunition
may destroy the work of many I
months in the munition factories,
and cripple numerous batteries for
many long days.
A British airman, Lieutenant W.
A. Barnes, has given The Associated
Press the following account of a
recent 58-minute raid on a German
dump as characteristic of this form
of activity:
“On this particular night there
was not enough moonlight for a
long raid, so the target given us j
was a German munition dump. We j
welcomed the change, for, naturally,
the strain of long distance raids into
Germany, night after night, becomes
a bit wearing. Dumps are of course,
situated as near as possible to the
firing line; and so mean short raids.
“Dumps are by no means easy
| targets to find at night, for they
are seldom situated near any de
[ finite land-marks, and are usually
j well camouflaged. By the study
i of maps and photographs, however.
| we had pretty well located the posi
i tion of this one, and started out ;o
raid with high hopes of success,
i “We flew almost due east from
I the aerodrome. At the end of the
; fifty minutes, we could just make
' °ut the outline of sheds. This was j
i good, but we let out a parachute j
, flare to light up the ground, and i
make sijre we were over the target, j
This promptly dispelled all doubts, j
for the Hun searchlights opened up i
! ut once, and a hail of machine gun
. bullets leaped up from the ground.
! ....
^nti-aircraft guns had been firing
or some time, but the shells we*v
bursting well above us. and giving
io trouble.
“The parachute flare proved a
eal friend, because both search
ights and machine guns concen
rated upon it, giving us just suffi
■ient time to dive swiftly, release
>ur bombs, switch on the engine,
md start climbing.
“When we turned to observe va
ults, we witnessed the finest five
vork display 1 ever saw. Amm >
don was cracking off at record
speed, dense clouds of smoke were
•ising, and highly colored flames
vere leaping a hundred feet and
nore from the ground.
“We watched this pleasing exhi
bition for some minutes, until the
:ough of an ‘Archie’ burst near b>
to remind us that we were still ovei
Hun land, and so turned and steerec
for home.
“The whole job occupied exa:tlj
8 minutes; but it must have cos
