HOW ESKIMO SOLDIER DIED,
Bravely Fighting in France for Lib- j
erty; His People Should Be
Proud of Him.
Here is the story of how Great Britain's
only Eskimo soldier fell in j
France. John Shiwak was the hero's j
name and when the great war started j
he heard the call in far-off Labrador j
and before many months had gone by j
he was in an English training camp. |
Some weeks later he was on his way !
to France, full of ardor. His death j
occurred in the Cambrai tank drive, j
The tanks were held up by the canal j
before Masnieres and John's company j
L i
was ordered to rush a narrow briars i
that had unaccountably been left stand- j
ing. John, chief sniper for the bat- j
talion, lately promoted to lance corporal,
the muscular man of the wilds,
outpaced his comrades. The battalion
still argue which was the first to reach
the bridge, John or another. But John
reached the height of the little arcb
aiid turned to wave his companions
on.
It was a deadly corner of the battle

ing space by the obstacle of,the canal,
were rallying. Big shells were drojv I
ping everywhere, scores of machine
guns were barking across the narrow
line of protecting water. And just j
beyond the bridgehead, *in among th?
trees, the enemy had erected platforms
in tiers, bearing machine guns.
As John stood, his helmet awry, his
mouth open in shouts of encouragement
unheard amid the din, the deadly
group of guns broke loose. ,That was
why the bridge had been left.
The Eskimo swayed, bent a little,
then slowly sank. But even as he lay
rhey saw his hand point ahead. And
th i he lay still. And they passed
him on the bridge, lying straight and
peaceful, gone to a better hunting
ground than he had ever anticipated.
LANDMARKJN CITY OF PENN
Many Philadelphia Citizens Would
Deeply Regret the Passing of
Famous Old Alehouse.
Some Philadelphians of sentimental
and convivial turn are disposed to re
gard the possible advent of prohibition
with gloomy mien, if for no other
reason than because it would mean
the passing of the Old Ale House, on
Drury street near Thirteenth.
It is not age that gives flavor to the
Old Ale House. The legend on the
rusty signboard which states that it
was established by Mary McGlllan in
1870 does not count for much in a
city where many taverns can trace a
direct lineage from the clays of Penn.
It is rather the garment of tradition
with which the old taproom has covered
itself.
It was there that this and that
heavyweight signed articles for an immortal
bout. It was there that politicians
hatched a celebrated deal
about which newspaper editorials are
still being written and public speeches
still being made. It was there that
many a young genius found the inspiration
whirh chaneed him from a bo?
hemian hack to a successful author.
Over it all "Mother" McGillan presided
with a discipline at once gentle
and stern. The brawls; were rare.
The Old Ale House 1st no less a landmark
than a sight The visitor is usually
taken there in the early after
noon, ana wnue ne Bips me aie irom
his mag the attentive guide recounts
the history, adding a line or two from
personal reminiscences. The Ale House
seems to fit all moods and to attract a
variety of minds. It is furnished in
mission wood after the fashion of the
English Inns of the eighteenth century,
but that is as far as an attempt
at atmosphere has been made.

GOES TAR BACK IN HISTORYL
i
French City of Montdidier Was of lm- SF
- - I n*
portance in First Millennium or
the Christian Era.
1^5
The National Geographic society Issues
the following war geography bul- ! re
letin on Montdidier, a few miles east I
of Amiens: :
"This little town, whose history sr
dates back to the first millennium of , M
the Christian era, had a population 1 ?
of less than f>,000 at the beginning of !
the war, but it was rich in historic j
ciccnM'it!/>n< Tr said to have de
rived its name from the fact that
Didier or Desiderius. the last of the
Lombard kings, was imprisoned here
in 774 by Charlemagne. It will be remembered
that Charlemagne, having
put aside bis first wife, Desiderius'
daughter, took up the quarrel of Pope
Aririnn T with the Lombard monarch,
and after marching an army across
I the Alps, captured the erstwhile fa|
ther-in-Iaw's capital city, Ticinum,
j and took the vanquished rulft* back
! to France, where he died in captivity.
"Montdidier is attractively situated
on an eminence on the banks of the
river Don. It is the capital of an arrondissement
in the department of
the Somme, and is 62 miles north of .
Paris by rail, and 23 miles southeast
of Amiens. Its chief industries be-.
fore the war were tanneries and the
manufacture of zinc-white.
"When the tides of war finally recede
it is probable that the three buildings
in which the citizens of Montdidier
took the greatest pride will be
crumbling ruins. These are the church
of St Pierre, which was built before
Columbus set sail on his voyage of
discovery, and which contains a tomb
and font of the eleventh century; the
church of St. Sepulchre, a fifteenth
century edifice, and the Palais de Justice,
formerly the city castle. In the
last named building visitors before the
war were snown sii uuuauanji
some Brussels tapestries of the seventeenth
century. ? These were undoubtedly
removed before the Germans
entered the city.
"Montdidier's most famous son was
Parmentier, the scientist, who gave
impetus to the culture of the potato
f in France. A statue erected here com
memorates his gift to the nation. {|
"For a number of years this little j*"
city was governed by its own lords,
then passed under the dominion of the ?
counts of Crepy and Valois. In the
twelfth century it became a posses^
sion of the French crown and received
a charter of liberties. In 1636 It of- J
