March 23-Entente losses in war.
ships have now reached total OF
$4,000 tons, says an Overseas News
Agency announcement today. This
computation includes the French bat
tleship of the Danton class recently
announced to have been sunk by a
German submarine in the Mediterran-
can. The statement says:
by the destruction of ship of the
Danton class, the warship losses OF
our enemies, excluding auxiliary ships

he told them to-and not until he did
tell them.
At one convention a delegate pre-
scented a resolution that the boss IA
vored, but had not heard about soon
enough to post his delegates as to how
they should vote on 1t.
The chairman of the convention put
the question, "All in favor of this res

fair sex and is working overtime to
prevent any of them from becoming
lonesome; Tony Dimond talks poll
tics and plays a little pan; while

LUCY WAS
CLOSELY WATCHED
Vessel Seized by Federal Officials Yes.
tertlay Had Been Under Surveil-
lance for Days

The Schooner Lucy, which was
seized at Anchorage this week for
violation of the federal laws in re-
gard to illegal labelling of liquors and
assignment of fictitious names was
seized by our old friend Joe Bourke
of this city, together with U. S. De-
putty Marshal Harry Schultz of An
chorage. The position of the vessel
had been closely watched from the
time she left San Francisco her car
20 having been tipped off to the fed
eral authorities at Anchorage and
other Alaskan points. Marshal Moss
man armed with a search warrant
boarded the schooner and despite
strenuous opposition on the part of
her officials, ferreted out the con-
cealed liquors.
A barge has been placed alongside
the Lucy and the goods not under the
ban will be forwarded to their pro-
per destination.
Awaiting action of the district
court the goods will be held at the
marshal's Office in Anchorage and
will probably be either destroyed or
sold (but not at Anchorage) to the
highest bidder.
According to the report gathered
by the Times in regard to the matter
it seems that the Lucy cleared San
Francisco but the manifest at this end
did not show the 80 cases above re-
ferred to. George w. Palmer, who
owns and operates the Lucy, claims
that the custom house officials at San
Francisco are in error and the matter
will be settled satisfactorily as soon
as he can get advice from that end.
Capt. Nelson of the Lucy was ar
rested by the federal authorities for
contempt of court yesterday and was
fined $25 and cost by Judge Conroy.

FRUITS MAY BE CANNED
WITHOUT USE OF SUGAR
Several Reasons Why This Method
Is More Desirable

The following quotation relative
to canning without sugar is taken
from a circular written by j. S. Cold
we'll, by-products specialist of the
Washington Agricultural Expert
ment Station:
Many housewives are apparently
unaware that practically all fruits
may be successfully canned without
the use of sugar. Such fruit pre-
serves more of the natural appear
ance and flavor than does fruit put
up in heavy sugar syrup, is fully as
palatable, and much more easily di-
gested is in better condition for use
in cooking, and is available for all
purposes for which fruit canned in
syrup could be used. A heavy sugar
syrup adds in slight degree in pre-
venting the growth of yeasts and
bacteria which cause spoilage, but
perfect sterilization makes it's use
unnecessary.
Fruits may be canned without the
use of sugar by any method which
the housewife is accustomed to use
