' PUBLISH U S NEWS
PAPER IN GERMANY
CHICAGO.— An American news
paper is being published in Germany
according to Parke Brown, one of
the European correspondents of the
Chicago Tribune, who cables the in-;
formation to that paper from Cobl-!
enz, via Paris.
The paper was discovered the oth
: er day when a croup of soldiers in
| the city of Mayen were found read-1
i ing the Fourth Corps Flare. It is a
I four-page weekly^ put out by memb
| ers of the Fourth corps artillery pat.
| And it is a real newspaper, too for
in addition to items on the latest
society doings among the officers and
the best bulls perpetrated by buck
privates, the fourpages include a col-'
umn of wiresless picked up by the
powerful radio operated at Colhem
by the Three Hundred and Tenth
field signal battalion. In the left-hand
column are the most recent develop
ments at the peace conference, and
on the right hand is a two-column
head ‘Chance Many GoOn Leave,,”
a story telling in detail Of-the pro
spects of passes to France. England
and Belgium.
Contains Feature Stories
Feature stories are not lacking.1
Here is one about a headquarters ser
grant who found the supply cellar
door unlocked. He cursed about
some one’s carelessness and locked
! the door upon his captain and went
: on his way. Another tells of a man
i who at a sick call told the surgeon
that he had rheumatism so badly in
his right shoulder that he could not
sleep on ot. He was advised to
j sleep on his left side.
Inside is a box “Sharp,” consisting1
! of asmall stock of cuts found in a
German print shop, dtscribed to suit
the present use. For example,' a
! horse is described as an inhabitant
i put out of his home to make; room
, for American soldiers. Three wine
bottles are labeled ” Scene in Lux
emburg.”
Tditorials Are Serious.
The editorials are of a serious
tcne, The leading one asks whether
the reader knows that ages before
♦he dawn of history caves were dug
• n the hills near Mayen, and weap
ons of the stone and bronze ages!
have been taken from these hills.
Julius Caesar went through Mayen
on one of his campaigns.
The second editorial reflects upon
♦he sericls effect occasioned when a
drunken soldier insulted two Ger
man woman.
The Fourth coprs is so proud of
!ts paner there are many who pre
dict it may become the official publi
cation of the entire Third army. Cor
-,oral Herbett M. Davidson of Kan
sas City is editor. Ordance Sergeant
cdwin N. Rand of Worcester, Mass,
assistant editor: Corporal Harold H.
Bruns of San Fancisco is business
manager, and there is a long list Of
correspondents. Because of the big
demand for copies to send home,
the Flare is making more money
than its promoters know how to use.

GOES TO CAPITAL
TO HELP ALASKA
To aid in furthering Alaska legisla
tion now before congress, J. L. Mc
Pherson, manager of the Alaska bu
reau of the Chamber of Commerce
andCommercial Club, left a few days
ago for Washington, D. C. Says the
Seattle Times.
Amonf the measures now before
congress are provision for increased
production of aids to navigation and
coast surveys, improved mail service
wagonroad construction, increased ac
tivities in the government railroad and
the passage of the coal and oil act
recently reported by the conferees and
which has been so amended as to em
brace Alaska. The latter measure has
bten in conference for nearly a year
and was finally reported out about ten
days ago. Upon recommendation of
Secretary of the interior Lane, it was
amended to include Alaska.
Secretary Lane requested of confress
on Sebruary 8 an appropriation of
$13,800,000 with which to complete
the government railroad. Of this, $9,
600,000 is a deficiency appropriation
in excess of the original $35,000,000
authorized by congress.
The added cost of the project is due
to a marked increase in the cost of
labor, materials and supplies. Labor
costs have advanced 50 per cent over
the estimate of 1914 and materials and
supplies have jumped from 5’ to 75
per cent. As overhead and operating
costs are increasing with each year’s
work and now average approximately
$100,000 a month it is advisable from
an economic standpoint, according to
Mr. McPherson to push the road to
completion as for a number of year's
at least the greater part of the traffic
will be through traffic to the interior
Wagon roads and branch railroads
will be necessary for the development
of local traffic, he states.
Mr. McPherson who made the trip
over the entire route last year, fully
believes that with the necessary ap
propriations the work could be push-!
ed to completion within two years.
