"It la believed that this will prove,

Ml AVE TOMMY MET
CERTAIN DEATH, BUT
SAVED OOMBADKH
The European war ha9 made
many heroes, but probably none
greater than a Tommy, of whom
L'$ut, J. F. Mather, Canadian re
cruiting officer in the Tacoma dis
trict, tells. This man volunteered
to permit himself to be blown to
atcms in order to trick the Germane
"The officers in. the further end
oX the trench in which I was sta
tioned had learned of Fritz's inten
tion to explode a min« directly un
der them at a definite minute/'
s->jd Lieut. Matier. "They or
dered ail the troops back to the
support trenches and called for
oug man to volunteer for the ser
vice of remaining on duty, walk
ing up and down the trench firing
elf his rifle to trick the Germans
in'o believing the Drench wa» still
occupied. One man did volunteer.
He didn't have one chance in a
thousand of escaping, hut he al
most got off, for the Germans had
miscalculated, and the mine ex
oloded in no man's land. Debris,
however, fell on him and thg i>oQr
follow was killed.'*
Lieut. Mather believes the Brit
ish system of intelligence to be
fuily the equal of that of the
Germans. "We generally know
what they are going to do before
thev do it," he said.
Lieut Mather assisted in the ar
rest of a Belgian and three Belgian
women who were signaling; to the
enemy by shortening and length
ening the blades on a windmill .
He tells of another cas« where a
woman signalled the Germans by
the way she hung her washing on
the line.
PASSENGERS STAGE
BOND MEETING AT, SEA
Ten thousand dollars' -worth of
Liberty Bonds were subscribed /or
by passengers or the steamboat Spo
kane, Capt. Thomas Johnson, of
the Pacific Steamship Company,
■vnich arrived in Seattle last night
from uorts in Southeastern Alaska.
During the homeward voyage of
the Spokane a meeting of the pass
engers was held in the social hall
presided over by Purser Louis J.
Coughlin. Patriotic addresses were
madf* by George Irving of Juneau
and others, and a big demonstra
tion followed. National airs were
played by a military band from Fort
Gibbcns, Alaska, and the entire
ship decorated with flags and bunt
ing.
FranK L. Qibbs, a mining man
of Fairbanks, took $3,000 worth
of *he bonds, and Valentine Smith
cf Woo-* Chopper, Alaska, who has
r.ot been outside of the North for
twenty years placed $1,000 at the
disposal of Uncle Sam In his war
'or freedom. Sixty soldiers from
Gibbon* did their bit in buying
boads, boosting the amount to $10,
000.
The Spokane brought & total of
21S passengers and a cargo Of
18,000 cases of canned salmon. —
