CANNONBALLS
END CANNIBALS
_ I
MELBOURNE,—The Australian nn*
val vessel Fantome was sent to the
New Hebrides islands recently to chas
tise a tribe of cannibals accused Of
having committed murders. The man
eaters occupied the northern side of
Malekula Island and -were accused of
the murder of a French cocoamit
planter.
As the Now Hebrides are owned
jointly by France and Great Britain,,
the Australian warship was selected;
to punish the savages. The Fan
tome landed a punitive force of six
ty-five officers and men at Malua j
bay, where the party was joined !by|
eighteen native guards.
Having readied the outskij^s of;
the village where the murderers were!
supposed to be hiding, the command-j
der of the expedition sent an inter- i
preter to parley with the villagers'
for the surrender of the men sus-;
pected of the murder
Groups of armed savages from theI
interior were hiding on the hill sides |
\ overlooking the village and two of
their chiefs shouted to the villagers,
I that if anvof them surrendered to1
! the expedition the village would be
fired upon. Seeing that these island i
tribesmen were making all the trou-|
jble, the punitive party opened fire'
: upon them with machine guns and
; followed this with a charge by a de- j
tachment of bluejackets, who took!
the ridge and drove the savages out. I
This ended the affair, the expedition
suffering no casualties.
British and French residents do-j
dared the cannibals had been taught
a severe lesson which would insure
the future safety of the white resi
dents of Malekuls

MEMBER OF 65TH
ARTILLERY COMES
BACK TO ALASKA
Bon H, Larson, "who left liere two
(years ago to report for activo service
returned recently, after some wonder
ful experiences at the front with tlie
famous 65th Artillery, and will take
up his old position with the firm of
Sawyer & McKay at their logging
camp at Mud Bay where he was em
ployed before he left. *
Mr. Larson had enlisted in 1914 with
the National Guard and was on the
reserve list. When war was declared
'by the United States in 1917, he was
ordered to report which he did in Sep
tember, at Fort Ward. From there he
boarded the Northern Pacific, the
huge oceaTi liner which had been con
verted into a transport, arriving in
San Francisco in January, where the
remainder of the famous artillery was
picked up. Then the ship made her
way to the east coast via tlie Panama
Canal landing at Norfolk, Va., for a
short stop, then on to Hoboken where
they debarked for Camp Merritt. On
February 25, about tlie time the ill
fated Tuscanla was sunk by a torpedo
off the Irish Coast, the 65th and 55th
Artillery left Hoboken on t'rte Maure
tania for France, without a convoy,
and crossed the Atlantic alone until
they were within eighteen hours of tlie
English coast when they were met by
the huge British Dirigibles and convoy
ships.
After a short rest in a British camp
they were .rushed to tlie cattle ships on
which they crossed the English Cannel,
landing at Lp Havre, another British j
rest camp. Mr. LarsCm says the Brit-j
ish mess was not partieulaly relished!
by the Yanks, and they were finally!
glad to reach Limoges where thev|
were billeted in some old French bar;
racks with 20th French Dragoons, a!
famous regiment, a relic of the days j
cf Napoleon. There they found that j
they were the first American troops to I
reach that section of the country. An j
ordnance school and training center;
was established there later, which be-\
came known as training center No. 2. j
The artillery regiments remained there!
until tlie end of July, when they left j
fer Lacourtaine passing through Ciiau
mont, the headquarters of the Ameri-j
can Expeditionary Forces, reaching!
tlie front August 26, 1918.
The 65th Artillery was first used in j
the famous drive at St. Mihiel. After!
their arrival, it took them eleven days
to set ui> tlie big guns, 9.2 British i
Howitzers. On September 12, at 1:20 j
a. m. the regiment put up the biggest
artillery barrage on that front which
was succeeded by the All-American
drive. The barrage destroyed every
thing in sight and was a great suc
cess.
The regiment then moved to Verdun
whpre they were employed in the first
and second- battles of the Argonne
Forest. At the time of the signing of
the armistice the artillery had just
been moved to Pont Do Mousson out
of Sedan.
Mr- Larson is rather reticent in talk
ing about tlie real happenings of the
war but the crinkles come into the
corners of his eyes when he speaks a
bcut the colored Infantry troops with
whom they were fighting. The color
ed 'hoys always address -the white boys
as “Soldier”. As soon as the Artillery j
arrived at the front, the colored bovsj
began to grow- anxious for them to get j
into action and they would keep want-:
ing to know when they were going to
fire. After the first barrage was sent
over, one colored boy came up to Mr.
Larson and looking over the big How
itzer from evpry angle, he scratched
his head, and said, “Soldier! That’s a
