1 Two incidents stand out in Allens memory of the trip. The first at l Vancouver, B. C., and the next at an | English prison camp in France.
 When I got to Vancouver, B. C., with my bunch of 100 odd dogs, there was a special guard |of kilted Scots detailed for the animals The man in charge the second day came up to me and asked me to come and inter pret for one of my countrymen in the detail. I cant understand him, but as you are one of his countrymen, maybe you can,' he said.
 "I went along with him, and who do you suppose it was standing there but six feet of raw boned Swede in kilts, a man by the name of Ole Lund, or some such name, that | had seen in Nome at the end of a No. 2. He made a good looking Scotchman at that.
 Then in France l visited a prison camp and a man called to me went over and found that he was a Ger man well known to the people of Nome as mining man who had visi- ted the old country at the wrong time and got roped into the army. He was well pleased to be where he was, out of the war. except that he was an ious to get to Alaska again. Af- forwards I had to do lot of explain ing to the officers as to how 1 hap pened to know this man."
 Scotty Allen sailed for Nome Mon day night on the Umatilla. He says he will be glad to get back, although this is the first entire year he has spent outside of Alaska since he went out in 1897.

BUSINESS IN IRON AND STEEL IS BEING CUT D0WNSHARPLY May Orders SO0,0OO Tons Less Than April; Further
 Reaction Is Likely
 This Month

New York, June 4.-Business in iron and steel products is being sharply contracted They May orders are es- timated to have been S00.000 less less than in April and further reaction is probable during June. Railroad equipment orders in May called for 40 per cent less steel than in April. The falling off was due largely to the less heavy buying of rails. but the or ders for locomotives were the heav- jest since June. 1915. Car contracts were cut in half compared with April so far as domestic roads are concerned.
 It is a notable fact that more than half of the May car contracts were placed by foreign countries, 5000 cars are being built for the Italian state for France About one-fifth of the orders for motive power also came from foreign countries. including Egypt, France and Cuba Spain. Canada. China and South America. Contracts now are under negotiation for 500 more locomotives for Russia as we'll as for 400 engines for other foreign coun- tries
 The exercise of the options on 116.000 tons of steel billets and rounds. pre- viously noted. proved to have been for direct export. Agents of foreign gov ernments who were negotiating with American manufacturers of projectles are buying the semi finished steel in preference to the finished shells. It now is learned that only about 100000 large size shells will be ordered in this country in the near future.
 Many domestic manufacturers of war munitions are several months behind in filling contracts. which may be one of the reasons for the failure to buy more finished shells at this time Do- mestic manufacturers. however, have been in the market for about 40,000 tons of steel rot ads and forging billets to cover contI.. ..cts about to be placed by the Italiar> government and one Buff falo mill is said to have taken an order for 10000 tons of forging bil-

NORTH SEA BATTLE IS RULING FACTOR
 AT END OF WEEK
Market Had Been Controlled by Domestic Situation. Foreign Issues Yield
 Easily on Reports

New York, June 4.-For the greater part of last week Wall street consid- cred domestic politics. The tone of the securities market aside from a moderate setback resulting from fresh tension in the Mexican situation seemed to imply in the opinion of some observers, in creasing belief in coalition of the ele- ments at Chicago, but otherwise the financial community freely acknowl- edged it's inability to forecast events
 The scene shifted with extreme sud- denness on Friday, when the news was received of the great sea battle be- tween ,the British ard German fleets. Quoted values of most stocks yielded |. eas silly and short selling helped to un- settle the list. International issues, in cluding the Anglo-French and Canadian war bonds. lost their buoyancy and were offered in large amounts at conces- sions.
 Later advices dealing with the naval encounter served to restore confidence to a degree but standard stocks were made subordinate to specialties, espe- cially motors and sugars. Various au- tomobile issues were lifted 10 to 30 points, some considerably higher, to new records, the advance coinciding with reports of q new combination whose proposed capitalization should place it in the forefront of such projects.
 Gains of 10 to 20 points in the shares of raw sugar companies suggested buy ing by substantial interests, probably the refiners, who, it is said, have prof ited only slightly in the tremendous inn petus that industry has received by the foreign demand Shipping shares re- gained much of their recent prominence, Mercantile Marine achieving a new rec ord on intimations that plan of reor- ganization acceptable to all interests is soon to be adopted

BULL M0OSERS ARE READY FOR MEETING Final Arrangements for the Third Party Convention
 Are Completed

Chicago, June 1.-The progressive na- tional committee will meet tomorrow to make final arrangements for the third party convention at the auditorium June T. As there are no contested seats in the convention only routine business is planned by the committee. Leaders thought it possible, however. that some statement might De issued bearing on the relations of the republicans and pro- gressives.
 Despite increasing demands by Roose- Welt supporters today for the personal attendance here of Colone! Roosevelt, his secretary. John w. McGrath, de- clared positively that the colonel would remain at Oyster Bay during the con- vention.

OLD GUARD WEAKENS IN ITS OPPOSITION TO
 COLONEL ROOSEVELT
Choice of Lesser of Two EviIs-Chances Are That the Colonel Will Dominate or Wreck the Party

Chicago, June 4.-(Special. )-There has never been a situation in the American game of politics like unto that existing here today.
 The great republican party is gath ering for convention to nominate candidate for President. The sup posed leaders are all here. Yet they are all at sea. All want to get ashore, but they know not which of the rescue craft can land them. These rescue craft are lowering about galore, bear ing names known from Massachusetts to the far west, and the captains of each are yelling: Get aboard here" But the old line working republicans who want the offices and control of government fear the frailty of each.
 ULTIMATUM TO HUGHES
 Justice Hughes has been boosted as the safe leader and the story has gone forth that he is to be nominated on the third ballot.
 But the Roosevelt captains today is- sued the ultimatum that he must right now issue statement defining himself or they will ram his craft.
 In other words the Roosevelt lead CTS today told the Hughes men that the justice would have to define a position satisfactory to the colonel to get his support, and that position must be publicly defined now. If Hughes failed to do so and the convention should nominate him, then the pro- gressive party would unanimously nominate Roosevelt, and two tickets would be presented to the country. The Roosevelt people make no secret of the fact that the aominee shall be Roosevelt or 2 man whose position on public questions is well defined and satisfactory to him.
 OLD GUARD WEAKENS
 Men of the old guard, like Penrose of Pennsylvania, are apparently weak ening in their opposition to Roose- welt. They claimed that he has not the prospective vote-getting capacity of Hughes, but that he does recognize state organizations which Hughes pos- sibly would not. Again they fear un- less Roosevelt is appeased there is no chance of electing anyone. So why not Roosevelt?
 On the other hand, many of the old guard declare they will not be domi- mated by Roosevelt and they propose to put over the Hughes programme. Hughes has nobody personally enthu- siastic for him or working for him with vim. It is simply feeling that he is the most available of election and that's the kind of man they want. But the Roosevelt ultimatum puts them at sea.
 So thus it stands, with the chances that Roosevelt will dominate or wreck.
