Survivors of Coronado Reach Halifax, N. g., and Relate
 Thrilling Story of Fight.

Halifax, N. S.-TweIty- survivors of the British steamer Coronado, which was torpcdoed 15O miles off the Irish coast, arrived on British steamer which picked them up nine hours after the Coronado went down. Nine men were 1oSt by the capsizing of their life boat.
 Tl4 survivors reported they had scarcely reached the deck of tue rcscu- ing steamer than they witnessed a steamer aHd q submarine, in which the submarine probably received its death blow. One of the CnrCnnda's men said:
 'I was looking aft when l saw what looked 10 be steamer coming up aSteru. She T%5 making pretty good time considering tic class that comes around as cargo boats. took tue glasses and saw that the steamer was in action with a submarine and was certainly holding her own. As l watch. ed saw q squirt of smoke issue from her stem gun and hit dangerously close to the rcriscCpe of the subma- rine. As the shot struck the submarine came to the surface. and q second later I saw the water shoot like | geyser alongside the BrtiSher.
 Before the submarine could get un- der water the tramp returned this fire. As I watched the submarine ] saw shot land right at her side. There was a gush of water, and when the sea had quieted down once more there were no signs of the German craft. Whether she was sunk by the last shot of the Britisher or whether she managed to escape l cannot say, but this know that the battle ended in a manner which left little doubt as to who had the best of it."

ALASKA'S FISH ID HELP FEED
 COUNTRY

Declaring that the fish of Alas ka are of an excellent food quality and that proper utilization of them will go far toward helping to meet the nations wartime food needs, Secretary of Commerce Redfield has written the following letter to the Daily Alaskan and other Alaskan newspapers.
 "In his recent letter to the Am eriCan people the President has elOquently and clearly presented the duty and privilege of every citi- zen 10 rally to the support of the country in the emergency now confronting 1t. He laid particular emphasis on the opportunities af- forded those, who for various req sons may not be able to join the fighting forces, to render other service no less necessary and laud- able, especially in increasing the supply of food stuffs of which under the stress of war there is likelihood of a dearth. It is necessary that the present sources of food sup ply should be maintained and new sources created and developed in order to provide well fed men for the conduct of actual military oD- erations. The success of the un- selfish undertaking in which the country has embarked is dependent on each one of Us performing his full patriotic duty in the field in which he can be used most effect iVely.
 Useful AmeriCanism
 Alaska came under the flag at the close, and largely as a result, of one great conflict, and it has just completed it's first half cen tury of useful Americanism on the eve of another. It is peculiarly fitted by reason of its great na- tural resources and the enterprise of those who do business within it's borders for rendering further and inestimable service at this critical time in the country's history, and I am confident that it will respond to the call of duty and opportunity
 "It is probable that there will hA difficulty in materially increasing the yield of some of the fisheries of the Atlantic coast on account of the demand for small vessels for military purposes. Alaska's duty crises from the fact that it is absolutely necessary to increase the total yield of the fisheries and her opportunity lies in her possession of vast urutilized fishery resources The salmon fisheries in many places ara being prosecuted as intensive ;Ey as is permissible with due con sideration to the danger of oyer fishing ard the maintenance of the future supply, and moreover are so we'll organized that they will undoubtedly be conducted vigorous lily during tho coming season, but ther. are other fishes in abundance which are not used as they should be.
 Alaska Fish In Demand
 ''The most important of these is the herring, which is widely dis tributed and in quality is equal to that of the Atlantic. The demand for this fish, Dickled, is growing ra- pidIy. The sablefish (black cod) for which the Bureau of Fisheries is establishing a large market, fresh, frozen, and kippered, is one of the finest of American food fish es and exceedingly abundant in Southeastern Alaska and contiguous waters. The atkafish, frequently called "atka mackerel'' and "attu macl-erel," is regarded by many as superior to the true mackerel when
