Protect the Deer.

While fifteen States will have
no big game hunting this year
because deer have been extermi-
mated or because the stock has
been so reduced. that the season
is closed, there are 33 other
States, according to the q. S.
Department of Agriculture,
which have an open season for
deer hunting. This season
ranges from A days in New Jer-
sey and 6 days in Massachusetts
and Vermont, to 2 months or
more in some of the southern
States. These seasons opened in
August in Oregon and in most
parts of California; in Septem-
Der in several of the southern
States and Idaho, South Carolina
and Virginia; in October in
Maine, New Hampshire, New
York, Georgia, Montana, Wyom-
ing, Washington, Nevada, Ari-
IONA and New Mexico; in No
vember in Michigan, Minnesota,
Wisconsin and several of the
southern States; and in Deem
Der in Pennsylvania. In about
one-third of the States the law
allows the hunter one deer a
year, and in most others, two.
1t is estimated that about 3d.
600 deer are killed legally in the
United States each year. These
produce nearly 10, 600, 600 pounds
of venison. The Biological Sur
vey of the. U. S. Department of
Agriculture says that this num-
Der of deer can be very largely
increaaed, since only two or three
States produce more than 10. 600
deer a year and many less than
1000. When HOO deer are OBJ
tanned in a State as densely pop
-ufated as Massachusetts, It
should not be difficult, says the
Department. to increase the total
in the other States by at least 25
per cent. Every pound of veni-
son brought in from the woods
should be made to save pound
of beef, mutton or pork raised on
ranch or farm.

What the Victory or Defeat of Germa.
ny Means.

: 1t would be wellif every Amer
lean would disposses his mind
of two popular and pleasing falla-
cies. First, that the United
States. took up arms as knight
erfaat to right the wrongs of
France and Belgium. Second,
that our impressive entrance in
to the war must inevitably, and
of itself, decide the issue.
We are fighting as a free peo-
pie for our own safety, and we
must fight hard and well or suffer
a shameful defeat. Germany de-
MED US the. seas because she
thought we would accept our fate
from her hands. She permits
herself now a profound contempt
for our army. Unframed men
with defective ammunition are
about as terrible in her eyes as
prairie oogs would be in ours.
She boasts happily that we will
pay her the indemnify which is
essential for her reconstruction.
Meanwhile, to make sure of our
downfall, she plots reasonably
in every state of the union. Per
haps, if she wins the day, she
will recompense such men as Sem
ators Stone and LaFollete, and
and Mayor Thompson of Chicago.
More likely she will fling them
on the scrap heap. But loyal
Americans may well understand
that unless this nation puts forth
all its strength, without reserve,
without fatigue, without self pity
unless we crush the traitors at
home. and defeat the enemy
abroad, a bitter future awaits US.
At best, we shall be Inundated,
impoverished, and crippled in
our foreign trade for many years
to come. At worst, we shall see
in our land the blazing homes,
the ravished women, the butcher
ed children, the uDGtterable
shame and horror which mark
the wake Of a German army OF
invasion. Contributed by Agnes

COPPER STRIKE
 NOT SETTLED
Men at Kennecott Refuse to go Back Because Company Will Not
 Employ Leaders

VALDEZ, July "A, (By MaiD.- Mike Clabach and Tom Ritter, millmen employed in the Kennecott mine up to the time of the strike, arrived in Val deg last evening, having come in over the trail In an interview they stated that conditions at the mine were un- changed; that the men had volunteered to return to work upon receipt of re- quest from Secretary Wilson, pending the decision of the board of concilia- tion; that the manager of the mine had refused to allow certain leaders of the strike to resume work and that the men had thereupon refused to con slider the proposition from any other angle.
 They stated that the men were in permanent camp at the old roadhouse, and had good cooks and plenty of money to keep them provided with food for several months to come and that there was no agitation nor dis order of any kind.
 The men are playing a waiting game, realizing that the strikebreak- CTS imported from Anchorage and other points would not give the com pany either the output nor the eff ciency the old workmen had done, and that it would be policy on the com pany'S part to meet the men in a fair settlement.
 Messrs. Clabach and Rutter state that the mine is not producing its regular output by half, and that it is costing the company considerable more per ton to mine the copper un. der present conditions than with the regular crews. They will secure em. ployment on the sound being eXperi' enced mill and tram men.

Maud stated, however, that he would not allow the registration officers to beat him to it, but would leave in the near future for the States to enlist in the aviation corps.
 w. s. Peckovich, owner of a group of mining claims at Funter Bay, has secured large amount of mining ma chinery and will at once commence the development of his property on a large scale He has put crew of fifteen men to work on the property, and will install the machinery as speedily as possible.
 Nikko & Co.,, who are operating on the Cebu fraction near Nome where they have opened up a fair bunch of pay, have had extensive supplies haul ed out to the ground. Center creek is not the center of industrial activ- ity it used to be in former years but ther are still several firms taking out some money in this old reliable creek.
 *
 Some very promising prospects are reported to have been uncovered on the benches of Nugget, Peters and Cache creeks, in the Cache creek dis trict. Much new development is plan ned in that section this season and the operators look for record season.
 -:-
 Thorson & Co.,, working on Discov- cry at St. Patrick creek, in the Fair banks district, have made a cleanup of $5,OOO, the dirt going about 75c per wheelbarrow. The pay is uniform and they expect to clean up an average of $6,000 per week.

SCARCITY OF SUGAR.
Washingtonians and AleXandrianS
Experiencing Pinch of War.

Near riots occurred in some sections
o! Washington yesterday over the
sugar shortage, and police reserves in
ranv cases had to be called out to
preserve order.
Yesterday the supply of sugar
practically gave out, and when this
was discovered citizens made rush
or every grocery store that had 4
supply for sale.
Approximately 80 per cent of
Washington's grocery stores are
without sugar, and there is not a bar
rel left in the wholesale houses.
Alexandrians are also suffering in
convenience from the shortage of
sugar. Housekeepers yesterday went
from store to store in search of this
article, only to receive the answer
1--WE have TO sugar.
Salt is also scarce, and it was diff
cult ior many to secure this indis-
pensable to housekeeping yesterday
