PACIFIC COAST PORTS BECOMING
 OF IMPORTANCE
On Account of Impracticability of U-B0at Menace in The
 Pacific

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 10.- The German U-boat is adding daily to the world importance of the ports of Tacoma, Seattle, Portland San Pedro. and according to a recent com from the National Council of Defense to the Chamber of Com meree here. The council states in this missiye that the Pacific will doubtless escape the U-boat menace because of the difficulty of establish ing hidden bases, and the vast range of water to be covered. As a result vast shipments to Russia and other points in the far east, which would ordinarily go by way of New York, will be brought to the Pacific coast for delivery across the ocean.
 In order to care for this vastly in creasing trade two large piers will be built at Vladiyostock, Russia, and the terminals os the Trans-Siberian railway will be enlarged.

ANOTHER APPEAL TO KETCHIKAN PEOPLE
 FOR WORTHY CAUSE

There are about 300, 900 children in France whose fathers have been kill led in the war
 An appeal has been sent out from the National headquarters of the w. C. T. L. asking each union to pledge assistance in caring for one or more of these helpless victims of the war.
 At meeting yesterday the local union adopted one French orphan ano hope, with the assistance Of others who may wish to help to be able to adopt more.
 Thirty-six dollars, fifty cents is re- quired to care for one child one year. It is heartbreaking to hear of the suf- fering of these little ones from famine
 The first evidence of hunger is mo- play as much as usual, then the child becomes more and more languid until it's little body is ripe soil for the seeds of disease. Then, millions of money will not save the little ones life
 This work must be done and done well. May the Ketchikan people res pond to this appeal as they have al ways done in the past, when help has been needed in worthy cause.
 Anyone who may care to donate to this cause may leave their money with Mrs R L. Neill at her store, in Red Men Building.
