CANADA WILL SOON
 REMOVE MINE FIELD
~

The Canadian mines laid in Brough- ton Straits will soon be removed, the lights will bc relit, and the traffic from Seattle to Alaslla will again TO- sume it's normal course.
 The strait, lying between Malcomb Island and the north end of Vancou- yer Island, was closed to navigation and mined to prevent a German at tack on Victoria and Vancouver from the north. At that time the Leipsig and the Dresden were known to be somewhere in the Pacific and several smaller German cruisers, such as the Hermis, Aeolus, and Geier, were be- tween this coast and Asia. The posi- tion of the scharnhorst, Nurnburg, and Gneisenau was not known, and the sea.raiding Karlsruhe, although in the Atlantic, might at any time come into the Pacific.
 Since that time the Japanese fleet has destroyed and interned all the smaller German cruisers and auxil- larles in the Pacific, and Admiral Sturdee has sunk the dreaded squad ron of Admiral Won Spec. The cruis- CT Karlsruhe and Dresden are being chased by Sturdee's battleships. and their destruction by the British pur. suing warcraft seems certain.
 Sea Soon Will ec Clear
 With the Karlsruhe destroyed, the seas will have been swept clea rof German craft and all danger of an attack on any part of the British Columbia coast will disappear.
 Broughton Straits mines have been a constant menace to the Seattle fleet Of halibut schooners which fish off the coast Of Alaska, bringing their catch to this port Eight fishing schooners came through the darkened passage. because they had not been notified Of the closing. Being vessels of light draught. and able to keep close to tho shore, they missed hitting tho mines.
 The steamship com1anies having ships in the Alaskan trade. have re- routed their course through Wevnton Passage and Blackflsh Sound, which is unfamiliar to mariners and but poorly charted When the strait is reopened, they will resume their for mer route.
