PRISON CAMPS OF
 THE GERMANS BAD;
 MOST DEPlORABlE

NEW YORK, April 17.-James w. Gerard, former ambassador to Ger many, speaking at the twenty-first annual university celebration of the NVestside Y. M. c. A. here, character lzed conditions in German prison camps as deplorable.
 The former ambassador declared that war prisoners were housed in horse stalls, six men to stall, in the Ruthleben Race Track, Berlin. The men were underfed, he said, and the conditions were such that many of the prisoners lost their minds.
 Because a number of kindhearted citizens of Gottingen ministered to the wants of the French prisoners of s'ar as they were passing through town, Gerard said, they were arrest ed and their names published broad cast

PUBLIC HEARING ON
 FISH BILL IN HOUSE
 COMMITTEE TOMORROW

The House of Representative will consider the "Oliver" anti-fish trap Dili at meeting of committee of the Whole House" tomorrow after noon at o'clock. Bob" Oliver, Of ketchikan, and Attorneys John R. Winn and k. A Gunnison will dis cuss the measure.
 Mir. Oliver, at whose request the bill was introduced in the Territorial Legislature, is at Juneau to further it's interests before Legislature. There was hearing on the bill last week ! before the House Committee on Fish cries, and it was discussed by Mir. Oliver for the measure and Senator J. R. Hickman and Judge R A. Gun nison in opposition.
 Mir. Oliver in his statement con tended thae fish traps serve no use ful purpose. He contends that, the cannery owners retain them for use because they catch 56 per cent. of the fish packed in them and that this 1 gives them an opportunity to die tate the price of fresh fish for can hing to the seine fishermen. He re futcd the statement that fish traps have always been recognized every where by introducing the regulations of the Department of Commerce pro- yiding that they may not be used in the Aleutian Islands, reservation. He also introduced a provision of the laws of Washington which prohibits the use of traps. fish wheels or nets in streams emptying into" Cray s Harbor of Willipa harbor
 My purpose is to build up fish ing population in Alaska said Mir. Oliver, and take a monopoly out of the hands of the fishing concerns He contended that the continued eX- tension of the traps and cannery sys- tenn would deplete the fish supply and impoverish the Indians, by de priving them of an opportunity to make a livlihood. He declared that the employment of fishermen instead of traps would give more people em- ployment, and that the fish so caught would be just as good as those caught in traps. He said the pass age of the bill would be the best way to defeat the Alexander bill
 Senator Heckman contended that the use of traps give more work to permanent residents of Alaska than would the exclusive use of both nets and the employment of individual fishermen., He said the fishermen so employed would mostly come from the states, stay here a while in the summer and return to the south. On the other hand, he said, the fish traps give employment to loggers in cutting piles and timber for lumber and to sawmills for the material for traps He contended that there is no waste by the canneries now since they are packing all varieties of sal mon. He said that traps were nec- essary to provide the fish required to meet the demand of the canner-

He also argued that the Territorial Legislature had no power in the premises on account of the limitation in the organic act He said that the Territorial Legislature is memorializing Congress to turn the fisheries over to the Territory to regulate. and that the latter should stop at that for it is as far as it has right to go.
 Judge Gunnison dwelt particularly upon the lack of power on the part of the Legislature to act, and cor roborated the statements of Senator Heckman

British Newspaper Says Britishers Would Give Greatest of Welcome

STRONG BOND OF UNION
Americans Would Have a Dim Idea of Great Reception in the
 British Isles

LONDON, April 1.-The Specta- tor, discussing the military aspect of American intervention in the war, appeals for the immediate dispatch of a small American force to this side as visible pledge and a bond of union.'
 "A single brigade would be suf- ficient," it says "The delight of the British people would be unbounded if the brigade could come to Eng land first. Americans could have but dim idea of the reception wait ing such force.
 We venture to say that if an American brigade marched through the streets of London before re-em- barking for France our houses would al nost crack with the cheering.
 We are told that American sym pathy runs stronger with the French or the nus siane than with our elveT and that if Amcricln trJ-Ds come tG Europe they won't come to the Brit isl front.

HOW TO INTEREST

In the January Woman's Home
Companion, a writer says:
"One of the best means of quickly
catching the interest of the passing
traveller is shown in a beautiful flow
err garden on a main highway, not
fifty miles from New York. 1t is a
well-kept, artistic garden of old
fashioned flowers, a riot of color the
season through. One long bed runs
quite a distance by the road on eacn
side of the house, planted with taste
and craft, to give maximum of
beauty in successive crops of flowers.
Only two tremendously colored flow
ers bloom at time for the whole
distance and the effect is very strik-
ing. 1t is hard to decide which is
the more artistic, the purple and
yellow iris in early spring, or the
gorgeous peoples that follow after.
but all through the flower season
this bed is sure to catch the eye of
the autoist in time to cause him to

WHAT is IT.

That gallant and accomplished
lKentuekian who edits the Arcadia
News is puzzled to know the reason
why the punk stuff that appears in
this paper is deemed worthy of re-
production in other papers. We con-
fess that we have shared Brother
jones obfuscation on this point,
and will await with interest the re-
suit of his investigation. The News
editor says:
What is there about the para
graphs of the Lakeland Telegram
that makes them so widely quoted?
BY actual count six of these para
graphs were quoted by one of our
best papers in one issue. A number
of the leading papers never fail to
quote them. Does this, or does it
not, mean that Editor Hetherington
is one of Florida's brightest para
graphers? Or does it mean that he
is just such fine fellow that you
want to honor him? Understand
now, gentlemen, there is no sour
grapes proposition about this, for he
is one of our favorite writer's, and we
delight to see him honored, but in all
sincerity what is there in his para
graphs that make them so popular ?
If you don't care to answer this
question in your paper, put so sim
cerely and so earnestly, then answer
by private mail, and your CORE
spondence will be treated confident

inquiry. For long time many

'erington has also been credited with
writing them, but many of them are
entirely too masculine to be credited
to her. Personally, we have come
to the conclusion that M. F. writes
them "hisself," and we want to know
what's in 'em. Now, don't all answer
this at once, for we are very busy,
