SECRETARY TO COL BOYLE
TELLS OF ill IN EUROPE
Among the recent people passing j
through Skagway was John Kennal- (
ly, Jr., Held secretary to Col. J.
W. Boyle, of tl'O Canadian Militia,
who tells about conditions In Rus
Ja- ' : 1 i I i
Mr. Kennally came direct from
Petrograd to London, then across
the Atlantic, over the North Ameri
can continent, and from Seattle to
Skagway on tli« Jefferson. He had
many interesting experiences while
in Europe.
For one month Mr. Kennally was
in Petrograd with Col. Boyle for
the purposo of rendering assistance
to the Russian government in the
installation of light military rail
Kays at and behind the Russian
battle-front. For two months Mr.
Kennally was ou the Russian south
and western battle lines. While Jn
Russia he saw the "Deatl\
Battalion" of women who fouglit In
Petrograd and other places in an
effort to shame the mem.
He tells of treachery on the part
of retreating German forces who,
he said, iu. evacuating quarters and
houses would leave apparently good
shoes, boots, rifles or other
things for the advancing nrmy to
pick up. However these would all be
attached so that the moving of them
would set off dynamite or bombs,
blowing everything in the immediate
vicinity to atoms.
Mr. Kennally tells of raids on
London by German Taubcs and di-!
rlgibles, whiih he says are ftwful
in the havoc and terror that they
create. He says the German nation
will not stop such despicable work
until the Allies fly over Germany
and kill the innocent in that land.
Mr. Kennally brought back with
him many beautiful pictures of Rus
sia, Finland, and other places of
interest over there. In coming to
London he went by rail from Pet
rograd to Finland, around the Gulf
of Bothnia am', down south thru

"We are at war. There are
three necessary things tp do.
First, we must have sol
diers; second, we must have
supplies; third, we Heed means to
purchase these supplies."
Th.ua spoke L. H. Pedersen, of the
3kagway Four Minute Men, to
au audieuce in the Popular Picture
Palace Saturday nifiUt.
"We have more men than we
need at tile present time," con
tinued Mr. Pedereen. "Supplies are
to by had if we have the money.
We have the money. But now it
is largely hidden away in small
amounts here and there."
Then he went on to tell how those
small amount s ere needed by the
government, how they, will purchase
thrift stamps, and how both the
government and the individual
would be gainers by the use of the
money.

was spout lit I'hiswit U. where he lodg
ed over a small grocer's shop "The
philosopher sits iu r lie shop," writes
a contemporary. "and lesitus English
words, which brings uiany customers

The grocer must have been sorry to
lose so ajlurlng a lodger, but David
llunie, who brought Rousseau to Eng

turned to Fiance. After his departure
he described Rousseau as "a composi

vanity and luquietude, with a very
small, if any. Ingredient of madness."
