tary of War stated that the COM
position of the normal or Federal
Board should be as follows:
One member who is in close
touch with the agricultural situa-
tion of the district or State; one
members who is in close touch
with the industrial situation of the
district or State; one member who
is in close touch with labor; one
physician and one lawyer.
The Governor in replying to the
Secretary of War stated that Della
ware has two very distinct lines
of industry: First, Wilmington,
manufacturing, the nature of
which is of more than ordinary
national Importance, viz, muni-
tions, ship building and car shops;
second, practically the rest of the
State is devoted exclusively to ag-
riculture, fruit and canning in
dustries being prominent.
In appointing the above men the
Governor designated Senator O. A.
Newton as interested in agricul-
ture; Charles Warner, closely al
lied with the industrial situation.
and A. R. Saylor, allied with the
labor interests; the other two be-
ing professional men-A. B. Ma
gee, the lawyer, and DR.. Robin, the
physician.
The Secretary of War in the
same communication to the Cover
nor, briefly outlines the duties of
the district boards as follows:
"To district boards will be en-
trusted the solution of one of the
most vital problems of the war.
Two things are to be accomplish
ed-to raise armies, to maintain
industries. AS the war proceeds
more and more men will be requir-
ed for the battle line, and yet
there are certain industries that
must be maintained to the end.
Any considerable diminution of
man power must interfere to some
extent with industry. The diminu
tion must be made and hence it is
self-evident that the problem is
not to interfere with industry not
at all it is to reduce interference
to a minimum. A balance must be
struck and maintained between
the military and the industrial
needs of the nation and the neces-
sary sacrifice must be distributed
with scientific accuracy, and in
such way as to accomplish both
purposes of the nation. The very
statement of the problem demon
strates most forcibly that in MAX
ing this economic balance it is the
interest of the nation solely that
must be subserved: that the in
terest of individuals or associa-
tion Of individuals cannot be con-
sidered as such. and indeed, can
only benefit from the action of dis
trict boards where the individual
interest happens to coincide with
the interest of the nation"

Even United States Mail Sack Is Ripped Open and Contents Are
 Searched.
BAGGAGE IS ALSO TAKEN
Much Other Valuable Be- Iongings Are Missing from the Wrecked
 Steamer.

Agent Max Humfrey, of the Seat tie Steamship Company this morning returned from the wreck of the Al Xxi and states that looters have prac- tically stripped the ship of every thing they could carry away. and destroyed a great deal of stuff that they had no use for. Personal bag gage of the passengers and one mail sack on board were footed. Food stuffs and supplies are strewn about the deck, while bedding, mattresses, blocks, tackle, valuable nautical in struments, and brass fittings have been taken.
 The footing was done during the time the ship was deserted, from the time the watchman was taken off by the Firwood until the arrival of Captain McGresor on his return from Juneau.
 Deputy Marshal H. F. Morton, who returned to the wreck with Hum frey, together with Captain Me Gregor, have been able to recover some of the things from the ship and are searching for more. The entire wireless equipment was re- moved from the AlKi by the crew of one of the larger steamers which was in that vicinity recently, but it was later recovered by the owners of the wreck.
 No arrests have been made as yet, but it is understood that several of the worst of the looters will be prosecuted, although advices from Seattle as to what steps are to be taken are expected at any time. Captain McGregor and Deputy Mar shal Morton are standing by the wreck
 The wreck report was filed in the local customs house stating that the ship struck at the top of a high tide and that when it fell to 2.5 minus, rocks pierced the hull and broke her back The boat had on board a cargo of 180 tons of coal and gen eral merchandise valued at $3,000, in addition to 15000 feet of lumber which was carried on the deck.

REPORT OF LOSS OF
 PACIFIC NOT TRUE

Report of the sinking of the launch Pacific, which has been go- ing the rounds for the past two days, but without confirmation, were today proved not true by word which was received from Peril Straits where the Pacific is en- gagged in towing logs.
 The Pacific recently got tow line tangled about her propellor which disabled the boat. She was beached, but when the tide went out the boat turned over The next high tide filled her with water When the tide receded, the boat was pumped out and is again be- ing used at her regular work.

Since the September shipment left for Division headquarters in Seattle, the workrooms of Juneau Chapter have taken a fresh start and expect to make the next shipment even better and larger New working in structions issued from headquarters indicate more thorough organiza- tiOn of the Red Cross, better than its organization of a month ago, and all regulations and directions are given with a minuteness and atten- tion to detail that renders the work of the individual chapters easier and at the same time more uniform.
 National headquarters in Wash ington will obtain information from Europe and at home as to the need for surgical dressings. The chair men of the various chapters will be kept informed of these needs, and they. inturn. will call upon the work rooms for their proper quota. At present the demand for more surgi cal supplies is occupying the atten tion of chapters throughout the ma tion, and it is hoped that Juneau wo men, by their attendance at the workrooms, will make it possible for Juneau Chapter to do its full share of the work required.

GREATEST CROP KNOWN
REPORTS FROM WHEAT BELT OF
TENNESSEE SHOW LARGE
WHEAT CROP PLANTED.
While Cotton and Tobacco Are Under
the Average, the Corn Crop Is the
Greatest Ever Harvested - Soy
Bean Yield Said To Be Big.

notwithstanding to the CORE
spondents of the state agricultural de-
partment the corn crop of Tennessee
is the largest in the history of the
state. In soy beans the Increased
yield is computed at 100 per cent, with
indications that an increased average
will be seeded to this valuable food
product next year. The yield of to-
bacco is computed to be Z per cent
less than in 1916, but with much high
er prices than in that year. Cotton
is about 80 per cent short of the five
year average, but the loss is more
than compensated for by the prevail
ing high prices. The yield of corn
shows about 80 per cent increase over
1916. The yield of potatoes, Irish and
sweet, shows a gratifying increase,
Notwithstanding the fact that the ear
ly October frosts considerably damag-
ed sweet potatoes. The yield of first
crop Irish potatoes was not so good
as the second planting, Of which there
has been a large yield. In all wheat
growing counties of the state the re,
ports show an increase in acreage
sown this fall ranging from rs to 30
per cent over 1916 The peanut crop
is short of the average. Except in a
few counties the yield of apples is
short so per cent. Live stock every
where is reported in most excellent
condition. There is no indication that
there will be any increase of acreage
in rye or oats. No hog cholera is be-
ing reported from any section of the
state.
