The inhabitants are mostly the rem nants of the original native tribes found here by the Russians In the Eighteenth century. Like its sister Islands, Unimak is in general desolate and scraggy lower along its rocky, slopes. It is treeless, and, except for its heavy rainfall and fogs, has a delightful climate. Summers in Unimak are cooler than places farther north, while in winter the weather is milder than that of Ten nessee or Kentucky, twenty degrees The of latitude farther south. warm Japan current, which creeps up the coat of Asia and around the Aleutians, gives It a January average of thirty degrees above zero.

Unimak and othe Islands of the Aleutian chain, believed to be the route by which man first migrated to the Western hemisphere, should be better known to the world at large, but they are on the shortest route between our northwestern states and Japan.

The Kamchatkan peninsula proper Is about 750 miles in length, and the distance from its roots to Bering strait is an equal distance. Kamchatka lies In the same latitude as the British Isles, while the country north to the Arctic ocean is in the latitude of Norway. The Kamchatkan region is bathed by cold Arctic currents Instead of the warm Gulf stream, and its climate Is therefore much colder than that of Britain or Scandinavia. From the southern tip of Kamchatka the Kurile islands sweep southward to the major Islands of Japan. This distant string of storm-lasheislands Is the most westerly group of the north Pacific's bridge of islands. Like the Aleutians, the Kuriles are a string of volcanic peaks, dead and alive, whose smoking heads protrude above the cold and stormy waters of the North Pacific and stake out the Sea of Okhotsk. Thus, they form a haven for the Japanese fishermen who swarm over this Island-gir- t sea In summer. Stretching between Kamchatka and the Japanese Island of Yezo, they have long been known to the Russians, who exploited their valuable furs. Not until recent years have the Japanese become interested In these next door neighbors. Plenty of Blizzards. The desolate Islands are "a cradle of blizzards," hazards to the mariner and aviator alike.

This Is unendurable. We are going to counter attack." These statements have been attributed to both MaJ. Gen. Robert L. Bullard and MaJ. Gen. Omar Bundy. As a matter of fact the author of the counter-attacnote was MaJ. Gen. Joseph T. Dickman, commander of the Third division. On July 15, 1918, at his headquarters at I k Col. R. H. C.

No doubt, 99 out of 100 Amer- icans believe that soon after General Pershing arrived in France as commander in chief of the American expeditionary forces he stood before the tomb of the great Frenchman who had aided Washington during the Revolution and, making an appropriate gesture, exclaimed, "Lafayette, we are here I" It seems a shame to spoil a good story and one which would naturally find its way into the school histories of the future, but it must be done. For General Pershing never uttered that sentence, even though he might have indorsed tt as highly appropriate. It Is true that he was present at the Picpus cemetery In Paris when it was uttered, but the man who voiced the fact that America was repaying an ancient debt to France was a member of Pershing's staff Col. Charles E. Stanton. The words which he used were "Lafayette, nous somme la I" and the thought back of those words thrilled the people of France Immeasurably. But when the story was cabled back to America, the phrase was credited to the commander of the A. E..F. It became one of our famous "popular beliefs'' and even President Wilson In a speech before the French chamber of deputies quoted it as having been uttered by Pershing. - it American "Canadians" Thousands of Americans served In the British forces during the World war, and judging by the stories one hears today they felt perfectly at home with the "Tommies." One of the principal reasons, doubtless. Is the treatment theyL were accorded, for apparently the British paid them the highest compliment of treating them Just as their own, with no favors and no discriminations. An American recruit for British service, Carleton G.

Two years later, when he was on observation duty In the front line for an English battery, the eve of an attack, Bowden learned that eight of ten supposed Canndlans who shared his dugout had been born In the United States.
