The story of the owl as told by Mrs. Strandborg, a person al friend of the famous writer for many years previous to his death, follows:
 London on his first trip to Al aska, found himself caught at one time with the minimum of proVi- sions in that unexplored country. With handmade traps, he and his companions endeaYored to catch the necessary meat and by accident this magnificent bird was trapped. AS London was always adverse to killing things unnecessarily, every

WHAT YOU ARE ASKED TO
 DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY

The men of the Allied Nations gre fighting; they are not on the farms, The production of food by these countries has therefore been greatly reduced. Even before the MAT It was much less than the amount consumed. The difference cSme from America and few other countries. Now this difference is greater than ever and, at the same Iine, but little food can be bro't in from the outside except from Am erica.
 Therefore, our Allies depend on America for food as they have neYe depended before, and they ask us for t with a right which they have GsTer had before. For today they ara our companions in the great var for democracy and liberty. They are dcing the fighting, the suffer Jag, and dying-in our wa=.
 Why We Must Send More Wheat. England, France, italy and Bel gium, taken together, import in seace time forty per cent of their orsa3stuffs. But now, with their rSduction in harvest, they must Import sixty per cent. We must in crease our normal export surplus of ss,000,000 bushels to 220,000, 900 bushels. It can be done but in one way: by ecOnomizing and substi- tuting. The people of the Allies sRn not substitute corn alone for bread, as we can. They are using other cereals added to wheat flour o make war bread, and can thus IBe up to twenty-five per cent of :orn for wheat. We have plenty of .oTn 10 send them, but, except in 'sly, whose people normally use it, )ur Allies have few corn mills, end .Orn meal is not durable enough to Ds shipped by us in large quanti- les, Moreover, the Allied peoples To not make their bread at home; Is all made in bakeries, and corn tread can not be distributed from ,Aksries. There Is but one way: we nuss reduce our use Of wheat. We ise now an average Of five pounds wheat flour per person per week.
 Why We Must Send More Meat 'hs food animals Of the Allies have eereased by 33,00O,OOO head since he war began; thus the source [ their meat production is decreas- oE. At the same time, the needs thei- soldiers and war workers ave Increased the necessary meat aREnmptiOn. If We will save one unes of meat per person per day

 Wby We Must Send Butter And .ilk.-The decreasing herds and ls lack of fodder mean a steady 1llIng off in the dairy products of 1T Allies. They have been ask z for larger and larger exports om us. Last year we sent them pee times as much butter and al ost ten times as much condensed tlE as we used to send them befors @ war. Yet We must not only | ,sp up to this level, but do still itter.
 Why We Must Send Sugar.-Be- i re the war France, Italy, and
The daily Alaskan., 1917-11-27

Belgium produced as much sugar as they used, while England drew
 most of its supply from what are
 DOW enemy countries. France and Italy are producing less than they nee5, while England is cut off from the source of seventy per cent Of her usual imports. These three Al lied countries must now draw 1,50O; OO0 tons more of sugar than they did before the war from the same sources from which we draw our supplies. We must divide with them. We car do it by economizing. The usual American consumption per person is just double that of France
 LET US REMEAIBER.-Let us ro.. member that every flag that flies the German one is by proxy the American flag, and that the armies fighting in our defense under these flags can not be main taiued through this winter unless there is food enough for them and for their women and children at home, There can only be food enough if America provides it. And America can only provide 1t by the personal service and patriotic CO., operation of all of us.

Declaration Of War Would
Be Only Additional Meas
ure Possible for u. S.
TORPEDOING OF SHIP
SERIOUS, HOWEVER
That Contraband Was
Aboard and No Lives Lost
Not Held an Excuse.

Washington, March II. = In the
absence of official dispatches on the
destruction of the American steamer
Algonquin, officials withheld comment,
hut the unofficial view was that moth
ing in the incident changes the stu
alton between the United States and
Germany.
President Wilson already has taken
steps to place. the nation in state OF
armed neutrality. which with the
breaking of diplomatic relations with
Germany, is practically the last meas
IRE possible short of war. American
ships are now being armed to defend
themselves against unlawful submarine
attacks.
The general view today is that arm
ing of ships is the only answer to
submarine operati tons short of a decla :
ration of war. which may be made only
by congress.
Sunk Without Warning.
The circumstance that the Algonquin
carried foodstuffs which are contra
band and that she recently was trans
ferred from British to American reg
istry, a transaction Germany might
plead she would not recognize, are not
taken to outweigh the fact that the
ship was reported destroyed without
warning.
Neither does the fact that appar-
entity no lives were lost mitigate the
Cifunfinyo I'm ho x,io,t, iall
expressed is that while the destrucl
ton Of an American snip in such a
manner Is very serious the American
government has already taken all the
steps it can take to meet such a case,
unless it wishes to take the last step
and declare war.
Real Issue Later.
The real issue of peace or war is
expected to come when an American
armed ship has clash with a Ger
man submarine.
A series of distinctions of American
ships will arouse congress to a decla-
ration of war, if indeed, Germany
should not declare war on the United
States. as many expect, as result
of the first encounter with one of her
submarines.
+. Up to the present in the absence of
action by congress, all that could be
done to meet such a case is the de-
struction of the Algonquin already has
been done. 1t is generally accepted
on first reports as not being the overt
act"

No Warning.
1.-THE submarine ewas about thre>
miles distant as were also the steam
gun and shell fell short. At once I
stopped the engines and then went full
speed astern, indicating this by three
blasts on the whistle. The submarine
kept on firing, the fourth shot throw
ing a column Of water up which
drenched me and the man at the wheel.
1t was a close thing.
1.-THE fifth shot struck the ships side
and the next went aft. The submarine
was using two guns. Twenty shots
were fired at us. / ordered the crew
to the boats and we pulled away two
ships lengths. All this time the sub
marine was firing at u.s. some of the
shots came very close.
Sunk by Bombs.
"Once wefwere in the boats the Ger
mans ceased firing and the submarine
dived. Later we saw the periscope
which circled the Algonquin half a
dozen times. Then, finding her aban-
doned, the submarine came to the sur
face and boarded the steamer.
1.-THE first thing done was to lower
the American flag. Then I concluded
they were going to sink my ship. Ten
minutes after, l heard the crackle of
IN explosion and saw smoke. They
had blown the ship up with bombs. In
Is minutes the Algonquin had sunk.
"The submarine was flying the Ger
man ensign. Her commander asked
my name, nationality, destination and
cargo of the ship, which had the
American colcrs painted on her side
and flew the American flag day and
night, I asked him to tow us toward
land. but he refused. saying:
"I'm too husv: | expect a couple Of

Gerard in Washington Says
Peace Talk Has Been
Abandoned in Berlin.

that when he left there was every ev-
idence that Germany fully intended
carrying out her ruthless submarine
campaign, regardless of the prospect
of war with the United States and
that talk of peace had been abandoned
The former ambassador did not see
President Wilson because he is still
confined to his room. but he conferred
1T length with both Secretary Lansing
and Counsellor Polk, and went over
with them in detail events leading to
the break in diplomatic relations be-
tween Germany and the United States
He would not talk for publication.
Considered Consequences.
Mr.. Gerard reported that German Of
ficials apparently considered the eff
fects and consequences of submarine
ruthlessness before proclaiming it and
as far as he could learn were conf
dent of its success. When he left
Berlin, however, the campaign was
only in it's second week and the Ger
mans We're still predicting the destruc-
ton of million tons of shipping a
month, the amount admitted by eX-
blockade of England. Since then, how
ever. the average destruction has been
below half that.
Food conditions in Germany when
Mr.. Gerard's party laft were reported
as serious, but not critical. This ques-
ton is looked upon by the American
government as important because of
its bearing upon the possibility of fur
