SKETCHES OF THE MEN
 WHO RUN THE U. s. NAVY
(BY United PreSSl


 WASHINGTON, April 2O.-Not to be seen, but to be heard from - when the propert time comes.
 This is the mission of the submarine and of the chief of the United States submarine service; Admiral A. w Grant.
 The taciturn chief of Americas un- derwater fleets, from his flagship in the submarine flotilla, directs the country's U-boats in the far Pacific, the Philippines and in whatever other part of the world they may happen to poke their sinister noses.
 His has been the problem, since June. 1915, of developing this rapidly rising arm of the national defense. Soon 38 more of these steel-bellied denizens of the deep will be added to his flotilla, to join the invisible fleet" which guards our shores.

Reports arriving in Fairbanks from Olnes, state that Takala & Go. nave picked up the lost Dome paystreak on No. below, second tier, right limit, and that the ground will aver age better than $4.50 to the square foot of bedrock. Two nuggets valued at $6 and $9 have been picked out of the gravel in the face of the drift.
 The horse feed monopoly at Fair banks is reported to have ben broken and horsemen who have been com pelled to pay 10 cents per pound for feed are now getting it for half that price. The large number of horses which were expected to arrive early this spring did not materialize and the spectators are now trying to dis pose of their stocks.
 The Thlinket Packing Company, op- erating at Funter bay, and the Nook sack Packing Company, operating at Portland, have placed an order with Seattle boat building concern for four power seine boats, to be delivered early in June at a cost of about $25,000. The boats will be 56 feet long, IA foot beam and powered with 40 horsepower motors.
 Dennis Foley, while working on No. f, below, Livengood, in a shaft 1S0 feet deep, was struck by a falling hoisting bucket, loaded with dirt and fatally injured. His partners had to go to an adjoining claim to secure a windlass to get down the shaft, which took nearly an hour, and when they reached Foley he was conscious and asked what had happened. Brought to the surface it was found that his left side was completely crushed, every bone being completely shattered He died a short time after being brought to the surface.

The big rotary snowplow of the White Pass road was found to be on fire one morning recently by Bert Watts, hostler in the round house. Steam being up and the engine con- nected with the blow, he pulled the whistle for a fire alarm and then opened her up and pushed the rotary down to the water hydrant, where with the assistance of others, he ex- tinguished the flames.

NATIONAL BABY WEEK

This is National Baby Week. Only
during the past few years have the
American people begun to realize the
importance of a proper knowledge OF
the care of infants. Welfare societies
all over the country are trying their
best to spread the desired information
to young mothers and to this end a
particular week has been set aside
in which the thoughts of this entire
nation should be turned to that SUP
ject.
An Illinois firm advertises that a
trained nurse who is a specialist on ali
questions relating TO infant welfare
will be at their store for three days
in baby week to answer all questions
in regard to the care and feeding Of
babies; and mothers are invited TO
bring their chilrden and consult her.
Manchester can do better than that.

AMONG THE PEOPLE

Letter From Mrs. Dorothy Garfield
Fisher, Who, With Mr.. Fisher, is
Working in the Allied Cause in
Paris.
Editor of the Journal:
The enclosed is an extract from a
letter of Mrs. Fisher telling of thc
reception of the news Of the United
States entering the war. 1t was read
to a few friends who were anxious to
have it in the Journal and | send it to
you thinking perhaps it will encourage
others as much as it has me.
HERMIONE H. CANFIELD.
Since debating this, President Will
sons message has been published, to-
gether with the vote of the Senate for
war. never saw anything like the
enthusiasm of the French public over
this news. Their relief, their joy,
their immense satisfaction in the
broad grounds Of the American action

he did not base his action on the mar
rowly legal grounds Of the loss of
American life at sea, but that he
asserted the high spiritual and moral
grounds of desire to help found a

tiles. can't begin to express to you
the satisfaction the French take in
having their principles so highly up
held! ! think | see behind this out
burst of almost religious enthusiasm,
that they had been (perhaps uncon-
sciously) wondering if perhaps the Ger
mans weren't right and the world was
made on the basis of fright is made
by might" and that they had been
foolish theorists to imagine the posi-
bility of higher form of society. If
that is so, that shows how terribly,
terribly tired they were morally, just
used up by the length of the struggle,
and it means that the moral support of
Americas entering the war now on
the broad general grounds she gives
for so doing, is incidentally valuable
for the future | heard from man
who was present at the scene in the
French Chamber of Deputies when the
news was officially announced, togeth- |
err with the reasons given-the success
of democracies to be assured-that |
never in the memory of the oldest
deputy there has there been such
scene Of pure and joyful emotion. He
said himself that he wept profusely,
and so did many people around him,
and that old M. Ribot said after his
speech and after the seance, that he
would be content to die now, for he
felt sure that the future of humanity
was safe!
You can think with what emotion
went out on our balcony to hang out
the big American Flag which is mark
ed with Fathers name-dating from
the Columbus days. The children
went with me, Jimmy beating on his
little drum and shouting "Vie Vive

over the edge and looked down at the
bright colors floating in the wind and
Sally cried: Mother! You don't look
joyful! Why don't you look Joyful"

have to be any war" But in answer
to that faint hearted cry, she said:
"Oh but we are in it, it will be soon
over-so you must look joyful" And
just then couple of workmen inI

and white-haired, who were repairing
a roof across the way, looked across
and saw US and shouted "Vive fam

There are farmers holding onto
their potatoes for exorbitant prices
Potatoes arc very badly needed at this
time for planting in order that the
world may he fed. No man is asked
to sell his good at loss, but when
they ask far more than they are worth
they are doing, at this time, very
unpatriotic thing. The Government
may step in very soon and say to
them as they have just said to several
large wholesalers and jobbers from
whom the Government has recently
asked quotations. Those having the
purchasing in charge sent in the or
ders and among other things stated
tina, "You will deliver the goods spec
ihcd herein as directed, and the price
TO l.e paid therefor will be determined
by ire President in due course"
