OLD TIMER i
WANTSTO FIGHT
On6 of the most Interesting men to
vla t akagway for' Bom« time is F.
H. McDevitt, who although nearing
tho age of the three score mark
Ja life's allottment of y«arrs, join
ed up with the 211th (B. C. Sec
tion) O. 3. Battalion C. E. F. "Am.
Legion' and went over there to
do his bit towards downing the
Hun.
Jig gaw service. He went over
the top. But there came a time
whpa he was suddenly whirled a
round, and when he regained con
sciousness, he was in Calgary,
Canada, suffering from shell shock.
"Mac" tried it again, and even
got back into a training camp in
England, when he there allowed
some unguarded word to escape him
which divulged his age. He was
sent home. Now he is frothing at
the bit to get back. Ho says in an
unassuming way that the world
owes him nothing, while he owes
the world a whole lot.. He wants
»o nay up, and he thinks that he
is just as good' a man as far as
fighting ig concerned, as lots of the
youn» men who have been chosen
to «o over,, and they would be
more valuable to the world than he
woul l be in case of an eventuality.
He has promised himself that he
wi'l go back to see the finish of the
sdran, and he says that h« has ft
hunch that he will get there.
Mr. McDevitt is a most interest
ing talker, and recounts in a most
pleasong manner many incidents of
the ireat conflict which one does
not find in the magazines or daily
paoers.
H« will be a passenger south on
the Princess Sophia tonight for the
states where he intends to put into
action his plan for getting another
whack at the Hun.

SEVERE CANADIAN SUGAR RE
STRICTIONS
Reports that the Canadian Govern
meat is placing no restrictions on
the use of BUgar and) that citizens
a' this country, merely by crossing
the border, may purchase in large
amounts, are emphatically denied oy
the United States Food Administra
tion,
The Canada food board recent
ly issued a statement calling tor a
reduction of Canadian sugar con
sumption to poundfl per per
son per month—half a pound below
th.« "honor ration" requested in
this country by the United States
Food Administration. All regulations
governing the use or holding of bu
gar will be rigidly enforced, the
Canada food board has declared'. It
is taking strict measures to prevent
hoarding, hi most cas<« imposing a
Jail sentence as well as a heavy fine
Manufacturers are strictly curtailed
ia their use of eugar and house
holders are prohibited from pur
chasing in quantities which would
warrant consumption of more than
the requested allowance.
Citizens of this country would be
running a serious risk if they at
tempted to purchase sugar in Can
ada. Although restrictions there ai«
placed upon the purchaser rather
than upon the retail dealer, severe
penalties are provided for attempted
exportation to the United States
without an individual export li
cense from the Canadian War Trade
Board, which will grant export li
censes only in cases which meet
with the approval of this Govern
ment. Supplementary action! alon^
this line haa been taken by the U*
nlted States War Trade Board,
wh»ch has prohibited1 importation
tlor without an individual import
license. Persons attempting to
"brin? sugar from Canada to this
country would be faced with the
possibility of heavy fines and Jail
sentences should they be appre
hended by the customs authorities
of e'ther country.
In addition to restrictions upon
the manufacturers and limitations
upon household use the Canadian
food authorities have ruled that
no person shall use more than 25
pounds of sugar to 100 pounds of
prepared fruit in the manufacture
of canned fruits for sale. This,
of course, does not apply to Jams,
jellies, or marmalade.
Mis. Lewis of Tacoma, is a round
tripper seeinc Skagway today.
There will be a meeting of the
surgical dressing section of the Red'
Cross tomorrow at the rooms la the
bait* buildin? at 2:30 o'clock. All
