BIG PROBLEM OF
WAR is CARE
OF PRISONERS
Housing and Guarding Captured
Men Trouble Both Sides

London, Aug. ia trou-
blesome problem of the war is
the housing and guarding of
prisoners More than 5000
Germans have been captured
before the big battles were be-
gun, and no one knows how
many of the allies are impris-
oned. Belgians have sent a
large proportion of the prison
ers to France. When the bat
tie is fought in which more
than 100000 take part, the
vast numbers of prisoners
bound to be taken will prove
embarrassing to both sides.
There will be exchange of pris-
oners of course, but this is not
always easy to arrange. An
other difficulty will be the feed
ing of unprecedented numbers.
The Germans are even now
confronted with the task.
According to a Brussels cor
respondent Of a local news
agency, communication from
the Belgian war Office was fill
ed with anecdotes and unim-
portant incidents. For in
stance, he tells one story
which is going around Bel
gium. \ Belgium officer took
several private soldiers, and is
quoted as saying, 81 don't
take a rifle with me any more,
but go out with a slice of bread
and butter and they follow me
into camp"
One German prisoner told
Belgian officers the Germans
were told they must 90 on or
be shot, and added, q guess
they forgot we needed sleep"
Two Belgian aviators were
between opposing ar
mics with engine trouble and
had to land. The Germans
came up and the aviators fled.
They observed the aeroplanes
in the same place the next day,
guarded by Germans, so
mounted a rapid fire gun on
an automobile, drove the Ger
mans away and rescued the
machines.

ADMIRAL LINE AFTER
 BUSINESS OF THE INTERIOR

The whltehorse Star says: George J.

Mir. Me Carthy is agent at Juneau while MT. Kennedy represents the company at skagway.
 The Admiral Line ran it's first ship into Skagway this week, the Admiral Evans arriving at that port on We'd nesday afternoon, and hereafter this line will make a regular ten-day call on both north and southbound voy- ages.
 Owing to the transfer of the North ern Navigation Company to the con trol of the White Pass & Yukon com pany, and the consequent routing of interior freight via Skagway and Whitehorse, rather than through Nome and St. Michael, this line has decided to obtain it's share of this heavy ton. mage.

COLD STORAGE FISH EGGS
 PRESERVED FOR MATCHING

To those more or less familiar with the cold storage egg of commerce, the cold storage fish egg is a new one, The fish commission of the State of Washington has solved the problem of running the hatchery in the Fisheries building the year round by shipping the eggs to the cold storage plant of the San Juan Fish company during the spawning season and keeping them there until needed.
 The eggs are taken from the spawn ing beds just before they are ready to hatch, and may be kept in cold stor age almost indefinitely without i'm pairing their fertility.
 Practically all of the spawn now used in the new hatchery has been kept in the cold storage, and matches as quickly as that taken fresh from the water.

FINAL BREAK BETWEEN
 GERMANY AND FRANCE
ALASKA WILL GET
 FOREST MONEYS

A cablegram received by Gov. J. F. A. Strong from Delegate James wickersham says the comptroller of the Treasury Department has reversed his ruling that Alaska was not en- titled to any of the proceeds from sales of timber and other income from forest reserves prior to the passage of the Territorial organic act in 1912. He now holds that Alaska is entitled to the money, and that Alaska's share of the receipts between July l, 1905, and the passage of the organic act in 1912. amounting to $S1,OOO. will now be turned over to the Territorial treasury.
 Pursuant to an act of the Alaska Legislatures Territorial officials de- manded of the United States treasury s44.OO0. as 25 per cent of the receipts from forest reserves in Alaska in ac- cordance with the act of Congress that provides that that much shall be turned over to the State or Territory in which the forest reserves are situ- ated, with which to build roads aud conduct schools in the reserevs. The Treasury Department paid $13.O0O. the amount that had accumulated since the passage of the organic act. but declined to pay the $31.O0O that had accumulated before the passage of the organic act.
 The Territory asked for a rehear- ing. and District Attorney John Rust. gard and Delegate wickersham pre- pared briefs on the subject showing that the Territory was entitled to all of the money.
 The comptroller of the treasury was convinced, and the money will be paid, as stated.
