ASKS MEDICINE
 FOR ALASKANS
JONES ASKS SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR
 THIS TERRITORY.

WASHINGTON, Feb. lS.-Senator Jones of Washington has moved an amendment to the Sundry Civil Ser vice bill in order to include an item of seventy-fve thousand dollars to be us- ed in giving medical relief to Alaska. The relief is particularly required for the natives who are oeclared to be in sore need of medical attention. Jones is the man who also asked for an in- crease to two hundred thousand dol lars Of the amount asked in the Civil Sundry bill for the construction of wagon roads and trails in the terri tory. AS congress will go out of ex- istence two weeks from today the Civ il Sundry bill must soon be disposed of. In it is included the two million dollars asked by Secretary Lane for the construction of a railroad in AL aska. It is now delayed only because of the various amendments being pro-
 posed but it will probably be rushed
 through in few days if it is possible.

NO DANGER OF
 FOOD SHORTAGE
UNITED STATES COULD EXPORT MILLION BUSHELS OF
 WHEAT DAILY.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-Tht department of agriculture issued 8 statement today showing that there is absolutely no danger of a shortage of food in the United States because of the tremendous exportatiOn of food to Europe. It is shown that this country could export one million bush els of wheat day and still have enough to supply the people in full until the gathering of the next har- vest. This statement clearly shows that the rise in the price of wheat, is not due at all to shortage in the sup ply but is either due to speculation or to the high prices received for wheat in foreign countries and it seems to be the strongest argument yet used to support the agitation for the plac- ing of an embargo on wheat expOr- tations.
 This agitation still continues and the cabinet is said to be .deliberating on the matter.

The paper in giving his speech has the following:
 "He said he favors prohibition. If possible he would rather see the question submitted to a vote of the territory; but, failing in that, should it come up in the form of legislative enactment, his vote will be cast in favor of it." From another speech made at Long City and remarks alse- where it is certain that MT. Snow intends to bring up the question in the legislature.

ONE HUNDRED GERMAN SUBMARINES WAGE WAR
VILLA GATHERING
 STRONGER FORCES.
New Campaign Expected to Begin in Mexico Within a Month
 or Two.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-From in- formation received here through gov ernment agents it is evident that Villa is gathering new forces for renewal of the war against Carransa. The lat ter has powerful army gathered around Mexico City and seems to be securely ensconced for the present at least in the presidential chair. The feeling between him and Villa has grown bitter and neither can expect the least mercy from the other if fate throws one into the others hands. A feeble attempt was made three days ago, it has just been learned, to create rebellion in the capital against Carranza but it failed completely and executions are now re- ported to be going on.
