National Monument," consisting of 38
acres within the Tongass national for-
est, Alaska, has just been created by
presidential proclamation. The tract
embraces the well known abandoned
Haida Indian village of Old Kassan,
situated on Prince of Wales island in
southeastern Alaska, about 30 miles
west of the city of Ketchikan.
The village was abandoned by the
Indians about 10 years ago. Among
the relics which remain there are
about 50 Indian totem poles, five or
six of which are classed as exceed-
ingly good specimens. In the deserted
village there are also eight large
square buildings which were orig-
inally constructed according to the
peculiar plan of the Haida Indians, and
which, it is stated by those best quali-
fied to know, represent the best speci-
mens of Haida architecture that now
exist.
The largest of these buildings is ap-
proximately 40 by 60 feet in size and
is made entirely of round and carved
timbers. There also remain a number
of Indian graves with the typical
small grave houses erected by the
Alaskan Indians.
"Kassan" is said, to be the Indian
word which means "a pretty town,"
and all reports agree that the village
was well named. The fact that the
village was occupied by the Indians
for many years explains the local
name "Old" Kassan, by which it is
widely known.
Since the village was abandoned by
the Indians the buildings have been
rapidly falling into a state of dilapida-
tion and decay, and a certain amount
of vandalism by tourists and souvenir
hunters renders some form of protec-
tion essential. An examination of the
area was made jointly by representa-
tives of the forest service and of the
interior department, and reports
strongly urging the establishment of
a national monument were approved
by the secretaries of both departments.
The Smithsonian Institution strongly
endorsed the proposition for the estab-
lishment of a national monument. The
new national monument will be pro-
tected and administered by the forest
service, as is the case with all monu-
ments located within the national for-
ests.
the proverbial "leaps and bounds,"
Japan's largest steamship company,
the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, a firm in
which the imperial family owns a
great part of the stock, has just added
two more vessels to its line in the
Antipodes, making a total of ten Jap-
anese vessels which are now plying
between this nation and Australian
ports.
Estimates Student Walks 1,350 Miles
Berkeley, Cal., Nov. 11.-Recent ex-
periments show that the average col-
lege student walks five miles a day
about the University of California
campus. At this rate a student would
walk about 1,350 miles during the col-
lege year.

London. Oct. 28.-(By Mail.)--In the
fighting on the Somme where legions
of men face death daily, narrow
escapes from sudden extermination be-
come trifling incidents to be joked
about at the end of the day. A ser-
geant in a Yorkshire regiment de-
clares nothing a man may (1r seems to
affect his chances of becoming al
"casualty."
"I've seen careful men get winged
before the daredevils," said the ser-
geant, "and I've seen the careless men
get hit when the cautious one escapes.
Recently, one of the men in my platoon
was hit in the mouth. The bullet came
from an angle, broke one of his teeth
and glanced off, just grazing his lip.

e :.,m1inn later, a bullet dented
is idenrtityv disc : and later still a bomb
exploead in his pocket, bursting out-
I ards and hardly bruising his side."
Doctors tell of one man in the
fighting near Le Sars who went
through the experience of having three
bombs explode in his pocket without
hurt irg' him1. A corporal, wearing a
steel helmet, was hit by a bullet which
vnt in at the front of the headgear,
passed round his head, and went out
te bac k, smashing the steel of the hel-
met. His head showed no marks.
Shree soldiers were standing to-
gether when a bomb burst at their
feet. A sergeant was blown into the
air and badly wounded while the others
wer' unscratched.
Whsiisind: A special cheering see-
tion for women has been' set aside
at th Chicago game. There is
some Ik of- appointing a woman
cheer leader.
