SEATTLE, Oct. Strawberries measuring six inches in circum- ference, shock of wheat four feet high, with heads of grain four inches long, clover six feet high, enormous potatoes and giant tur- nips which resombled a shipment of the products of Washington's rich est agricultural district were dis charged at Pier 2 yesterday after noon, says The Times. They did not come from the Yakima Valley, which boasts Of it's crops of vege- tables, or from the grain belt of Washington, but from Alaska, which many customers believe is but playground for polar bears.
 The shipment which would take all kinds of blue ribbons at a county fair came from the rich agricultural district back of Haines, Alaska, from the Eagle River farming lands, 90 miles west of Juneau, and from the west side of Douglas Island, Al- aska, and was brought to Seattle aboard the steamer Humboldt Of the s. s.

U COMMANDER WAS IN RACE
 MITH GERARD

NEW YORK, Oct. 17. - From sources in immediate touch with thc embassies of the Central Pow CTS. 1t was learned today that the letter sent by Capt. Hans Rose of Che. submarine U-5S to the German from Newport recently contained brief notes from the German foreign office outlining Germany's present attitude on the submarine issue.
 The U-58 engaged in a semirace with the Ferederick VIII for the purpose of impartlng details Of Germanys stand on the submarine question to Count yon Bernstorff before American Ambassador Ger ards arrival.
 The message, it is learned, which the U-boat commander brought. con tains exactly the same information as that which the German foreign office has asked Gerard to impart to President Wilson.
 A direct cablegram to von Bern storff was impossible because of British censorship and the submar- inc expedient was therefore chosen.
