Ills lllllo mix with (iotch happened yours ago when (iolcli, under the name of Kennedy, was in Dawson hi Ihe Yukon trying to tlx up wrest ling matches when uvcryhody wanted to sea prize fights. j Hero today Hlavln 8laged the story with Juck Liiiidonlsh settings-. grla-j lied miners looking through hluo' Cohncco smoke at thu ring in liuw lon's main empoiiuin. (iotch, fail ing In wrestling matches agreed to tnko on aiavin for n ten round liont. "In I ho first two rounds ho enmo t nu strong'' related the old soldier- fll.hter. "I floored liim twn n.- M.p.L.i 1sh sporting writers with his remi niscences. They flock to his i. tury camp where Slavln's regiment is waiting for the call to Prance. In Slavln's 54 years he has been a pioneer in the Australian hush and the Klondyke as well as a loading prlzo ring favorite in England, Am orlra, Australia and Alaska, llefore ho was eighteen lie had made $12,000 In the Australian gold field. Hoi then ennio to England and closed five yenrs of boxing with his do feut of Peter Jackson. Then ho went to America and drifted into tho nrlzo ( ring limelight, by knocking out Jack Kliraln In loss than a round. San I Krancisco wns the next stop. 'Thoso were the dnys beforo the big strike on the Yukon." said Slavln today, "but I decided to take tho uip uieru mroiign Iiritislt Columbia. When wn arrived In Alaska, my pnrd ner an,i 1 staked a claim on tho Forty Jlllo river and 1 started for Skagway (100 miles over the Ico be- " hi ml a dog tenm to g"t a guarantee for tho concussion. "I got the con cession nnd iboy gavo me tho offi cial mall to carry back to tho Gov ernment at Yukon. Tho concession Is still working today In rnct, It ! has a hydraulic plant handling 15, (100 cubic yurds a day." Sluvin related the rutting of the White Pass trail from tho summit of White Pass to Lake Dennett in 1S!I7. When he returned homo his wife bad given him up for deud. "I made the Mist map of the Whlto Pass nnd the railroad there now does not leave the route that my party followed by more than forty yards at any point," said Slavln. Slavln baH been a Canadian Jus lice of the Peace In lato years. Slavln's only son, Frank Charles S'avln (named after (iiiri: mi.,,1. LONDON, June 18. (By Mail) The British hold, at present, one fourth of tho allies' western front That la to say, tholr line Is about 90 miles long. "I shouldn't think," said a corres pondent, "it would hardly he nossi- blo for any one man to keep track of whats doing along such a tre mendous string of trenches." "You'd be surprised," said tho young army officer ho spoke to, "to see how sensltlvo a fighting lino is. For instance the other day a chap said to mo, 'Don't you know Bill Smith?' " 'Yes', I said. 'He and I used to bo great pals but he went to Canada and I havn't seen him for years.' "'Well,' said the chap, 'he's forty-five miles down tho line now. Why don't you get leave and go Beo him? . "I did, I made that 45-mlle trip, wading through frenches and taking short cuts, trav eling through country I'd never seen before, meeting thousands and thous ands of men I'd never met, getting lost and asking directions, mixing up with convoys and ammunition trains and having all sorts of ex periences, until finally I came to a Jolly long tunnel leading down to a thundering deep dugout in the first, linn trunnli "T ,1 iu. -...w., irgiil V1UWI1 l.!lS hole and as I landed In the dugout, Bill Smith got up and snld. 'I'm mighty glad to see you, old chap.' "Just then a telephone hell rang in the dugout. One of the other rellows answered It and after a minute, said, Yes. he's just got here.' It was the chap who had told mo about Bill Smith, asking If I'd arrived safely.' A British army supply base Is a wonderrul thing, of course, but to appreciate It Is merely a matter of multiplication. Take anv kind of an industrial or commercial Insti tution a packing house, a bakery, a wholesnlo grocery, a sboeshop or a fantry In the event of war with Mexl co. The situation Is go grave that a call may come any day. "2. The adjutant general desires each company be recruited to one hundred (100)' men at the earliest possible moment. The new men can be enlisted and drilled until addi tional equipment ls available. Com pany commanders are directed to re cruit and train their company with the view of possible service. "3. The company commanders should see that the non-commlsslon-ed vacancies and particularly cooks re rflloH nt once. They should be instructed In field duty. "4. The new men enlisted now will be permitted to attend the July ramp providing that each company takes two officers and 41 men with 60 days service and fourteen drills, required by the war department. Tho men will receive full pay. j "5. Arrangements will snnn he porfected for organizations to take tho new federal oath, which ls near ly Identical with our present oath. All officers and men will have to subscribe to the new oath, however. in order to receive federal nay. com mencing July l, isio. 6. All records and naner works should be kept un to date All nron- erty should be put into serviceable ondltion immediately. "7. All organizations will hold :n quarterly muster, if they have lot already-done so. upon receint of this order and forward their muster rolls Immediately. "By order of "Lieut. Col. C. C. Hammond, "W.
