PARIS AND LONDON
LINKED BY PLANES
PARIS.—Cables from America de-1
scribing the institution of an aerial
mail service between New York, Phil
adelphia and Washington, have led
to th revelation that a regular ser
vice has been in force between j
Paris and London for a year and a
half. This service has been con-j
ducted by the military authorities j
and has been used only for official
messages and documents.
Captain Pierron, a French army
aviator was the sole pilot until a
few days ago when he met with a
fatal accident in making a landing.
He had made over a hundred trips j
between the two capitals, each voy-'
age taking about three hours, at
an average rate of 75 miles an hour, j
The distance covered between Paris
and London was about 230 miles,
the distance between New York and
Washington.

on the steamer Yukon today will
join the nursing staff of the Com
mission hospital.
A
NEW DEVICE FOUND
FOR NOTING QUAKES
HONOLULU, T. H—Professor T.
A. Jaguar, Jr-, director of the Ha
waiian Volcano Research Associa
tion's observatory at Kilauea volcano
on the Island of Hawaii, assisted by
Dr. Arnold Romberg, a physicist of
the College of Hawaii, has perfected
a device for the recording of earth
quakes and earth vibrations which,
it is expected, will greatly change
existing methods.
Professor Jaggar’s invention \^hich
will shortly be given to the world
through scientific publications, em
ploys the principle of photography
in recording earth movemnts. It is
said to be much more accurate than
seismographs now used and to re
cord vibrations which are not re
corded by them.
So delicate is the new instru
ment, that it registers the surf beats
upon the Kau coast, twenty miles
from the observatory.

LONDON.—“The United States,
Great Britain and France will be
the foundation of any League of
Nations and they must accept this
burden at once”, declared Sir Fran
cis Trippel to an Associated Press
correspondent. Sir Francis recently
issued an appeal for the immediate
formation in England of a “Council
for the Advocacy of a League of
Nations."
“The first thing to be done, is to j
divest the scheme of illusions,” he \
said. “A League of Nations is not j
an absolute substitute for war. It:
is not an absolute guarantee of i
peace. It does not mean, for the
present, total disarmament- It can
not be a ‘forgive and forget’ panacea.
“A League of Nations must have!
the power to enforce its decrees.
That is the crux of the whole ques-:
tion. If it has not, it will go the!
way of all the rest.
“Its chief function will be to |
remove the causes of war. It must
make it easy for nations to co-oper-'
ate and hard to stand alone. If a I
nation knows that a League has no1
power to enforce its decrees, it has '
scant respect or scruple for it.
“Does anyone in his senses believe j
that such a league is even remotely I
possible with a dominant Germany? j
She is the pariah nation of an anger- i
ed world. If the fight ends in a
draw, she remains dominant. If it
ended tomorrow, she would snap
her fingers at the ideals of the uni-;
verse. Germany, as she is, is a
menace to the world’s peace.
“No propaganda is more import
ant at the present time than the
propaganda of the League of Na-1
tions. And its existence depends
upon Germany’s defeat at her own
particular game—the game of war.
“A council for the advocacy of a
League of Nations will be necessary
in every country as far as possible,
if imperialistic tendencies and dyn
astic desires for conflict are to be
checked. We can begin at any rate
with the Lnited States, France and
Great Britain. These three Western
democracies are bound to form an
influential portion of any League
of Nations in the near future.
“A preliminary council for Great
Britain should be formed from pub
lic men of all opinions ”
OLD KLONDIKE CAMP
IS STEADY PRODUCER
DAWSON. The Yukon is turn
ing from gold to silver mining.
While the value of the former, or
its purchasing power, has decreased,
that of silver has been doubled.
There is great activity in two sil
ver bearing areas tributary to Daw
son, the Mayo district on the upper
Stewart river and along the Twelve
Mile creek. These fields are 150
miles apart. Silver was discovered
in these areas years ago, but no
work was ever done.
The Canadian government has dis
patched a party of geologists to in
vestigate the prospects of developing
the silver mining industry in this
section.
There was a total of $4,612,431
worth of merchandise shipped from
Alaska to the United States during1
the month of July, 1918. Of this
sum, over one-half, $2,509,299, is
derived from salmon. Copper is the
second producer, with $927,579 in
value for July. Pickled herring sold
for $185,506; furs, $101,380; ani
mal and fish oils, $182,270; fresh
fish, other than salmon, $111,404;
and smoked and dried fish $32,803.
Taken all together, the fish and
animal life of Alaska produced
three-quarers of the value of the
sxports.

WWIEB SPORTS
MAY BE STAGED
ON THE TAM
With the departure of the young
men of Nenana who have been call- ’
ed to the colors, it is felt that the
dances that used to be very attract
ive to a great many of the people
of Nenana, will no longer draw the
crowds it did in the days gone by,
and in order to relieve the monotony
and dullness during the coming win
ter and to take the place of dancing
it is suggested that a tobaggan slide
and a skating rink be built as soon j
after freezeup as possible.
This suggestion is made for what j
it is worth and there may be others'
who will be able to suggest some)
form of amusement to relieve the j
dullness of the long Arctic winter.
Any such suggestion will be wel
comed.
The hill across the river offers |
several good sites for the building I
at practically no cost, of a toboggan j
slide, and of course, a skating rink |
can be fixed up anywhere on the
river.
It is felt that the necessary lights
can be arranged for with the A.
E. C., and it is to be hoped that
Nenanaites will take hold and work
up the suggestion, which will provide
the townspeople with alenty of i
healthy exercise and distr,actio i "un
til springtime comes again.
BRITISH WOMEN ARE
MAKING TANK PARTS
LONDON.—British women have
proved their ability in the making;
of “tank” parts, and in one factory
the whole process of tank manu
facture is now carried out by women
says Miss Anderson, inspector of
factories.
Shipyard work is considered by
inspectors as “hard but healthy”,
while others see the same benefit
to women in the heavy work of
steel and iron works, blast fur
naces, brick works and spelter works.
A foreman in charge of a blast fur
nace said he would be willing to
undertake any ferro-concrete work
with women only.

WAR ICE CREAM
Ice cream, made without milk,
'ream of sugar to comply with gov
?rnment regulations, has been all
the rage this summer at the soda
fountains of London, says a corres
pondent of the Associated Press.!
• 1
I he recipe was conceived by an
American, Charles H. Boeglin, of •
Mew York City, soon after the Brit-1
ish government prohibited early this ,
year the use of milk products or
sugar in the manufacture of ice
:ream.
Here's the way the mock ice
’ream is made: For a gallon of the i
ce, two pounds of glucose or four!
pounds of honey. If honey is used
t should be boiled down in a quart
>f water, and before being poured '
nto the freezer should be allowed
to cool for three or four minutes,
rhen add the white of one egg and
any flavor desired, and freeze.
Fresh fruit adds considerably to the
flavor of the ice which really tastes
like ice cream.
