"COPYCATS"
If you are not interested iu the
woes of a female reporter, don't
read any further than this, for the
limit has been, reached, and the
at'orsaid reporter lias "waxed very
wroth" over the doings of some of
out contemporaries of the nort i
tCopycatg, there have l>een since
Adam and copy-cats there Kill be
when all the female reporters are
little angels ail playing on golden
harps. The copycats in this terri
tory are the limit. Recently this
particular reporter got a nice little
interview with a noted educator,
which jvas published in this paper,
and lo. and behold, a recent issue of
on© of the westward sheets just re
ceived. come out of the inter
view as telegraphic news dated
Ketchikan nearly word for word,
and to crown the infamy, had it
labeled "By Asscoiated. Press." Many!
of our writeups have been copied,
some papers have given us credit,
others have not, but when a paper
copies our interviews and gives the
Associated Press credit, we think
it is time to call a halt.—Ketchikan.

"High up In the sky, blending

Thus Mrs. George Craig, of Daw
son, describes German air raids on
London, for she has Just come back
from Loudon and aw several raids
en the city,
Mrs. Craig says there are always
planes flying over Londodm and a
person seldom knows jvhether the
suond of the machines is that of
an enemy or of one of the British |
flyers. Not until a bomb has fal
len, and the peculiar hollow sound
of its striking its objective is
heard do the people know the
enemy is seeking the lives of the
Beonle. Brl'ish artillery is con
stantly practising near London, and
the booming of the big guns is so
frequent that one gets used to
big explosions.
"X was living in an apartment
house when one of the raids caine
and the people upstairs all ran
down to my rooms ou the ground
floor 'o watca," said Mrs. Craitj,
and she spoke in her kindly but
hurried way which showed that the
strain of constan' vigilance had
played havoc with, her nerves. "We
would watch from the tjorch or
from the Windows, until the raid
was over or until our planes had
driven the enemy away.
"I was In London when the first
American troops passed through.
tH9 city. Aercy/auea followed the
course of the men by flying high
over them them, eo that London
ers could a 1 way8 know just where
were the Americans. They all
looked serious, and seemed to know
already of the grim reality of the
W.ar. They certainly were a glor
ious sight to Loudon people, and
a finer body i t men 1 never Baw."
Mr.. Craig )3 the wife of George
Craig, o£ Dawson, who is connect
ed there with the department of
justice. She wore a blue waist,
black Bkirt, and Uie characteristic
half shoe so common to British,
oeo-ple. "Mrs. Craig shows in her
features the very spirit of England,
one of determination to win the
war at any cost, and a belief that
it will be won.
Airs. Cragi says that everyone in
England is working, and that the
oue idea is to win the war, that it
has not been won yet, but that it
will be won just aa sure as time last
Women are working in munition
factories, they are employed in
banks almost exclusively, they guard
the entrances to depots and public
buildings, and women act as con- j
ductors on ali motor busses and ,
street cars. She says they look very
smart in their short skirts, leather
boots and hat.
"This •war is to be won on w!heat,
said Mrs. Craig. "There is not e
nough wheat to go the rounds, and
to givo a just proportion to all wo
must use only oae-third wheat in
all bread stuffs that we make.
This is being doue in England, and
the soldiers 'ire getting brown, breads
"Prices in England are well regu
lated. We were allowed one half
pound of sugar per week, whioh,
we had to secure from the same gnW
cer each. time. We were issued per- I
mits on a grocery store and if they ,
had the sugar we got some, but if
they were out, we got none.
"The people are in doubt about
the reports of revolts in Germany.
News of various uprisings may be
German propoganda. The) Germans
have told so many lies that we don't
know what to believe.
"The theaters of England are
full every night. They must be rum,
for soldiers at home on furloughs
need recreation. The boys how
ever do not jest and joke as they
used to do at the beginning of the
war. Anything that English peo
ple can do to make their lives hap
pier while they are at home is
done. "
Mrs. Craig left England for Can
la about the middle of September. |
Usually steamers leaving England
are ready to sail from one to two
weeks before they get away, and
during that time all communication
with shore is a.'eolutely cut off.
When Mrs. Craig left, however, the j
boat sailed immediately a.nd was met
by a large convoy which accompan- j
led it clear across the Atlantic. J
There were many boats in the convoy,
the one hse wns on being a troop [
ship. Four presons were crowded
into one stateroom, and as alio
described it, they Were like lierrlajn

It is awfully hard to get passage
to North. America, she says, and
requires a great deal of pull tp
do ao. For that reason, many Can
adians are stranded in, England.
Previous to the outbreak of the
war Mrs. Cral< had twoj daughter^
in Germany studying music. They
-tq on. a vacation in, England
when the war broke out, and of
course did not return to Germany.
For a time they studied music to
ihe Royal Academy in England, and
later have been doing war work.
Mrs. Craig brought them back to
Canada, and one is now in Ontario
doing censorship work in. the Otta
wa post office, and the other is
working on the Victoria Loan.
Mrs. Craig left on this morning's
train bound frr Dawflon.

KICK OF THE MULE.
' It Is Not Treachery, but Fear, That
Moves the Springe.
Handled Intelligently, a mule Is a
most willing worker, but there are a
few unwritten laws that cannot be
transgressed with Immunity. A mule
will seldom make more than two at
tempts to move a load. Oil the first
strain he will throw his whole force
into the collar, and a mule can pull 50
per cent more in proportion to his
weight than a horse. Science Is dumb
at the question whence comes that
lateut force which neither horse uor
ass possesses.
After a short re.H the mule will make
a second attempt, but this is seldom as
sustained as the first. If the load still
refuses to move, the team might as
well be unhitched. At times the mules
will not even eseit enough force on a
third atteuipt to move an empty wagon.
Mules are charged with treachery
only by those who have never given
an intensive study to their habits.
Mules defend themselves from that
which they do not understand. They
become Accustomed to being harnessed
and unharnessed while colts, and it
U traditional that a mule never kicks
while being saddled or harnessed. The
beast knows what that means.
But It is also traditional that a mule
sleeps with one eye open. lie is al
ways alert to what la going on about
him. It, la never safe to stoop down
suddenly to pick something up behind
or at the aide of a mule. That is to
him an unexplained action. He can
not fathom the Intent back of it, and
he generally lets fly with one or both
heels by way of protest.
A person who has harnessed and un
harnessed a mule for months may for
get himself and stoop for something
at the animal's heels. Then the mule,
docile for so many days, begins to kick.
When the luckless driver regains his
senses he Imagines the mule had been
waiting: craftily all those weeks Just
to get a good opportunity to kick him.

ANCHORAGE WILL
LODGE
Anchorage will soon have a lodge
of the Benevolent andd Protective
Order of Elks, says the Anchorage
Times. Word It. this effect was re
ceived Dec. 21, by Samuel McDonald;
acting secretary of the Bill's club,
a social organization of Elks here,
from the grand secretary of the
order. The new lodge, the num
ber of which will be 1,351, will bo
installed by George B. Forrest, of
Juneau, district deputy grand ex
alted ruler for Alaska.
The Anchorage lodge will be the
third in Alaska, the other two be
ing at Juneau and Skagway, and as
it3 name implies is the one tliou
and, three hundred and fifty-first
in the United States and territories
Only cities having a population of
5,000 or more can obtain a charter
for an Elks lodge.
The date of the installation of
the lodge here will be fixed th.ru
correspondence between officers of
the Bill's club juid District Deputy
Forrest. It will be mad© the oc
casion of a great celebration on
the part of Elks here.
T,e obtaining of a charter for an
Elks lodge in Anchorage is due to
the unremitting efforts of the mem
bers of the Bill's club. It was form
ed in 1915 and immediately ac
quired a lot aud built and furnisti
ed a large log club house on Fourth
avenue near F street. At the
request of the Bill's club, MayerJ.
G. Watts authorized the enumera
tion of the inhabitants of the city
last fall, and immediately after this
enumeration application wag made
to Fred Harper, grand exalted rul
er of the Elks order, for a charter.
His favobrale decision was com
municated to the grand secretary
who at once notified the district
deputy for Alaska. !
