Tot-cm Poles of Alaska Indians Ketchikan, Alaska, June 9.?In dian totem poles of Alaska are as beautiful and as interesting as the Parthenon of old Greece, according to Dr. P. T. Waterman, who is in: Alaska studying the totem poles for the Smithsonian Institute. Along the Alaska coasts the to tem poles are disappearing and Dr. Waterman was sent .north by the institute, at the request of the Unit ed States government, to make a? study of them and record their history before they are all gone.. In the native village of Kassan, near Ketchikan, he found a large group of poles. Dr. Waterman says he has found that totems were used not only for memorial shafts but also were used by the early Indians as re ceptables for the bodies of their dead. The first totem poles were beau tifully carved by professional carvers who used flat colors, made from local minerals. Dark red, deep blue and black were used in coloring and not the gaudy yeUow; bright red and blue which were found on later poles. Each totem had its own name and the naming of poise was the occasion among the Indians for a potlach and the giving of presents. "Moving up Higher" was the name of one pole belonging to'the Raven tribe and "Bear Kneading" was the name of another, getting its name from the way in which a bear walks, a movement similar to that of a woman kneading bread. In one village Dr. Waterman found a pole on which was carved the figure of Alexander II. who was czar of Russia when Alaska was sold to the United States. Alex ander was pictured as wearing a frock coat, epaulets and pocket flaps. This, Dr. Waterman believes, was to show the contempt of the Indians for a czar who "could not hold." Dr. Waterman expects to spend another month in Southeastern Alaska studying totem poles before returning to Washington, D. C. He has devoted the past twelve years to Indian research work. Pinchot spent $120,000 getting leected. That's high office rent. People who live faster than others don't go as far. It takes two to start a fight; but that isn't why people marry.

DOINGS OF THE DUFFS TOM, I WENT TO A SHO OTHER NIGHT ANDTW< CAME/OOTON THE ST ONE HAD ON A STE# _ -4 THEOTHE???VT American Army Service Artillery Washington, June 7.?The Amer ican army came out of the war with a vast amount of artillery but ?still lacks the ideal tyoes of guns and howitzers which a careful post war study by army experts indicat ed to be the most desirable. On the basis of the report of the ??cali ber board," which made this study In 1918, however, existing artillery equipment has been apportioned among the troops to approximate as nearly as possible ideal condi tions. One striking fact was developed by the "caliber board" study. De spite the enormous'increase in the amount of artillery used by the contending armies, the board con cluded that "the principles of the use of field artillery continued un changed. ? > Although the French coined the saying during the war that "The artillery conquers; the infantry oc cupies the ground," post-war studies do not confirm this in American military opinion which holds that the infantry armed with rifle and bayonet is the main line of the army and all others arms designed merely to aid the advance of the foot troops. As to the increased use of artil lery during the war, Sir Douglas Haig, British commander, noted in after the war reports that while the proportion of British artillery personnel engaged in the battle of the Somme was about 50 per cent of the infantry', it reached 80 per cent in the Battle of Ypres in 1917. In the 1916 struggle British guns hurled 13,000 tons of shell in a single day and in 1917 they poured 23,000 tons in the German positions in the same time. The caliber board found that for the purpose of American field op erations there should be six types of weappons, a light weight gun and howitzer to accompany infan try divisions, a medium weight pair for corps ,use and a heavy team for each field . army. The hoard found that for divisional use, a gun of about 3-inch caliber fir ing missiles fo "man killing char acteristics" weighing not more than 20 pounds and with a maximum range of 15.000 yards, was "ideal," but that the American and French 75s, while not exactly filling re quirements, formed a practical substitute. The army artillery as weil as the National Guard field batteries are now equipped with these weapons supplemented by some American 3-inch guns. As a mate for this field gun, the board recommended a 105 mm. weapon with range of 10,000 yards and projectiles of 30 to. 35 pounds. That type does not exist in the army today'although the 155 mm. howitzer suggested as a substitute is included and was for a time mated with the light field gun. It is regarded as too heavy, for di visional use, however, and has been eliminated from divisional batter ies.,,'^. _ . * ? .v- .. .. The lack of a light howitzer is due to the fact that the American army adopted French artillery equipment in the war and the French never were able to turn their attention to this weapon's production in the stress of other work. The British army is equip ped with a 105 mm howitzer to support infantry' operations. For medium batteries attached to army corps, the caliber board rec ommended 4.7 to 5 inch guns with range of 18.000 yards to bring hos tile battery positions under fire. The existing 4.7 guns of old model, with one regiment armed with British 5-inch weapons, make up this element of. the present Amer ican artillery strength, the guns being mated with the 10,000 yard range 155 mm. howitzer. For the heavy field artillery handled by units of the field army, the board selected a 155 mm. gun with 25,000 yard range and an 8 ineh howitzer firing 1S.000 yards. Equipment approximating this is made available by using British design howitzers which are on hand. It is pointed out that under pres ent national defense plans, most of the artillery for a major mobiliza tion must come from the National Guard, which now includes 1C2 gun batteries armed with 75s; 36 howitzer batteries equipped with 155 m. m. weapons and 13 gun batteries armed with 155 m. m. rifles. Colonel J. II. Wharton Dies in Lau rens. f Laurens, June 14.?Col. John H.
