The course of the recent crisis up

There were four questions to he

three others itt regard to internal

its by far the most important—haw

The substitution of Dr. Michaelis

the main an event more sensational
than important. It most. be admltted
that Dr. Miebaelts is the first plebe-

possess the entire favor of the Em-

Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes.
Gilbert H. Grosvenor, director and
editor of the National Geographic
Society, has made public a telegram
from Kodiak. Alaska, in which Robt.
F. Griggs, director of the society's
Mt. Katmai expedition, announced
Isla safe return to civilisation to-
gether with the tidings' of the expedi-
tion's complete *uaews in Its scien-
tific investigation.
Dr. Griggs' message declares that
in the light of tbe expedition's dis-
coveries the Valley of Ten Thousand
Smokes will stand as the First Won-
der of the world. Instead of "ten
thousand smokes," as the vast vol-
canic area in Alaska is now known,
the valley has literally mllliona of
active vents in the apace of a hun-
dred Square miles.
The survey of tbe exploration
party proves that Katmai is the
greatest grater on the face of the
globe, betnn. more than nine miles In
clrcumft'r•enck and 3,600 feet deep.
The party alitp discovered a mud
river 17 tulles long, and mapped 1,-
600 miles of territory hitherto un-
charted. Two thoysand photographs
of the great volcano and the con-
tiguous territory were secured and a
complete collection of planta, insects,
birds, and geological data is being
brought back by the expedition.
Gases from the vents are also being
brought bark for chemical analysts.
Mr. Grosvenor announces that the
expedition. Judging from Dr. Griggs'
preliminary report, is one ot the
most successful ever undertaken by
the National Geographic Society, and
that tbe data collected by It will be
among :be foremost contributions to
tbe science of the earth's surface
since the dawn of the twentieth cen-
tury.
Thies expedition set sail for the Mt.
Katmai region from Seattle on May
21, fully equipped in every p•rUca-

the society's earlier expeditions of

credited with any victories he may
achieve. Guynemer'e record waa
made to shorter. time than that of
any military aviator, with the excep-
tion of Captain Ball, Of. the Royal
Flying corps. Ball was probably
the greatest aviator of the war, con-
sidering how desperately short was
the time he spent in the air. He was
a different type to Guynemer, for lee
was tragically reckless. It to said
that aftdr he had destroyed his for-
tieth German plane he painted the
wings of his own machine crimson,
thus inviting death.
A fellow -ace relates an Incident of
Guynemer. On one oceasion they
went up together in a plane, Guy
nemer aa pilot and his companion a*
photographer. The last thing Guy-
nemer said before they ascended was,
"Old fellow, i give you warning. To-
day i dodge no shells. To -day is my
anniversary." They went up and the
east -mane recognized him, a simple
,natter, according to the ace, Ie -
cause Guynemer flew like no other
aviator. The shells began to burst
round him. They came In a circle,
gradually lessening as they got the
range. The aceount continue*: "He
did not move. He kept on the course
and I took the photographs. At Isar
1 report, that ( have enough. hut he
asks inc to take some photographs of
the puffy clouds around our plane.
And when this is done he starts
home, but turns again and does a
spiral, I do not know how many
times, right over one of the batter -
les which has been looking for us.
In the line they thought be was
craws. But i knew well enough that
Gnynemer waa paying us out for the
early days when we dared to pat-
ronise him."
Guynerner will remain forever a
national here of France, and Paris
Is likely to honor him with a mighty
memorial.

This Is the hind of cure that has
set Windsor peoble thinking and talk -
Ing about Dr. C`hase's Nerve Food.
Tne action of this food cure la so
radically different to the usual treat-
ments for the nerves that everybody
wants to try R. Gradually ani cer-
tainly it nourishes the starved nerves
back to health and vigor and the bene-
fits obtained are both thorough and
'eating.
Petra M. Smithson, 27 Arthltr street,
Windsor. Ont., writes: "I was suffer-
ing from nervous breakdown, •which
was cau,wd by a shock when fire
broke out in the adjoining house. My
nerves were in such a state that, after
going to bed I could not get my nerves
quieted down sufficiently to go to`
sleep. •I used to get up and walk r
around the room, or go downwtalra.
Even when I would be dropping off
to sleep my limb* would twitch and
waken me. I used to have cold, nerv-
ona. night sweets. sometimes would
become unconscious and lie that way
for quite a little while. I was always
cold and It seemed impossible for me
to get warm or keep warm. When
on the street I would see two or three
objects at once, and did not want any
person to speak to me or bother me.
Any little noise irritated and annoyed
me very much. I had consulted
specialists and tried many remedies
during this time, but could not gain
relief. At last f tried Dr. Chase's
Nerve Food, and before long could see
that this treatment was proving of
benefit. I ant now feeling so much
better that I can go out on the street
without any difficulty, can go across
the river and go about the same as
usual. 1 sleep well al. night, and am
feeling mors like Myself every day.
I am pleased to be able to write you
to tell you how much good the Nerve
Find has done me. it has atrength-
Med and built up my whole system.
