 EXPORT FROM ALASKA

WASHINGTON, July 31. The known snlphur deposits Of Alaska Gle of volcanic origin and lie in the belt C active volcanoes that extends through the Aleutian Islands and Al aska Peninsula. Deposits on Unal- aska and Akun Islands and neor Step ovak Bay, on the Alaska Peninsula were examined in,the summer of 1917 by A. G. Maddren, of the Unitcd Sta tes Survey Department of the lntcG- or.
 The examination showed that al- though there is some sulphur at each place. examined there is q little pr1b- ability that any of the deposits can 5e proftably mined at present or in the immediate future, for they are not of large area, most of them are probably shallow and contain only dis siminatcd sulphur, supplies and lab or are not obtainablc near the depOs it's. the ouen season is short, the work of transporting the sulphur from the mmes to the ships would be difficult and the haul to the larger markets would be long, However, these de- posits undoubtedly occur at many oth -er places, in the volcanic belt Of Southwestern Alaska. When material and labor are more easily and cheaply obtainable, when transportation is cheaper, and when the demand for sulphur on the Pacific Coast is larger the sulphur deposits in Alaska can doubtless be mined proftably. The area within which workable deposits of sulphur may be found in Alaska is large and most if it is unexplored, SO the place at which sulphur can be first and must protitably mined is not certainly known
 Sulphur claims have been staked on deposits in the crater of MakuShin volcano, on UnalSaka Island on Akum Island; and near Stepkav Bay. No sulphur has yet been markerted from these deposits, but during the last year they have attracted the atten- ton of prospective. investors with a view to their exploitation. Unalaska and Akum Islands are near the East end of the Aleutian Islands, Stepvak Bay is on the South coast of Alaska Peninsula.

WHAT WE FIGHT FOR.

The high aims of America and her allies are we'll expressed in President Wilson's greetings to France on Bas- tile day:
 AS France celebrated our Fourth of July, so do we celebrate her Four teenth, keenly conscious of a comrade- ship of arms and of purpose of which we are deeply proud. The sea seems very narrow today. France is socioSe neighb0r to our hearts. The war is being fought to save ourselves from in tolerable things, but it is also being fought to save mankind. We extend our hands to each other, to the grea [ peoples with whom we are associated ,; and to the peoples everywhere who love right and prize justice as thing beyond price, and c0nsecrate ourselves once more to the noble enterprise of peace and justice, realizing the great conceptions that have lifted France and America high among the free peo- ples of the world. The French flag flies today from the staff of the White House, and America is happy to dc honor to that flag "

GUILTY CRIMINALS"
Thus Captain NOn BeerfeId Denounces
 War Lords of His Country.

Amsterdam, July 30.-A memOran- dunn demanding ruthless action against the man at the helm of the German government in 1914 as guilty criminals, was sent to members of the Reichstag last week by former Cap tain von Beerfeld, says a Berlin tele- gram quoting the Cologne Volks Zei- tung. The captain was prominent in the Prince Lichnowsky affair, brought about by the prince, who was Ger man ambassador at London in 1914 declaring that Germany was respon- sible for the war.
 Capt von Beerfeld's memorandum says that the German leaders at the beginning of the war were guilty of appalling deceits and acted in the service of traitors.
 He demands the immediate arrest of former Chancellor vOn Bethman- Holweg, and declares that in case of the Reichstag's refusal he will imme- diateiy request passes for himself and family to Switzerland, because he will no longer share Germany's shame and dishonor

FAVE PLENTY OF SEED
 OATS AND WHEAT.
Dean Martin Nelson.

Arkansas farmers in ;he past have been too dependent upon seed oats and seed wheat from sources outside the State because many cut their entire crop for hay and save no seed. No greater mistake could be made this year because economic conditions de- mand that oats and wheat growers save seed so that an abundant supply will be available For fall. late winter and spring seeding. ,'s..t'
 A greater acreage of wheat. rye and winter oats will probably be planted this fall than ever before. Certainly 1t Is to be preferred that all fields be planted from seed grown under south. ern conditions. Seed locally grown and from a variety which has made ssoA' is positively preferable to an unknown supply.

 idly and Will Help Supply Meat
 for Home consumption
 The present shortage of beef and pork can not be remedied quickly However, rabbits breed rapidly, ma lure early and furnish palatable and highly nutritious meat; consequently, they can be made to increase our meat supply enormously within a few months.
 The fact that rabbits are grown easily, maintained at very small feed cost, not susceptible to disease, stand confinement well. are very prolific and require but small space in the back yard or under back shed should cause many to turn their attention to ihis industry.
 'fhe Belgian Hare, Flemish Giant and New Zealand Red are recommend ad on account of their size. prolific 1ess ard their splendid table qualities

| London, Dec. THE commandants
OF German prison camps of the Han

The report saws il is not IN the great
events, involving at least one case of
homicide, which will receive special at
tention on some other occasion, that the

German Methods for American
Soldiers Are No Longer
Even Spoken of.

7 he difference between the German
officer and the average German soldier
" hom We have had as prisoners, writes an
tfIicer from France, in The Army and
Navy Journal, is quite remarkable.
Many Of the former are aggravating To a
degree IN their contemptuous manner and
point of view, while many Of the latter
seem to be decent fellows, except that
they are products of an abnormal lifetime
training, which has made of them dumb
and rInouestiOned followers OF their ap-
DO inted superiors Before the war. adds
the correspondent, there were many
off Gers In the United States so carried
away with the German idea Of making
men act with the simple obedience OF
du NIB animals, and just a machine, that
thev desired TO GernanIzc the American
Army. Those Of this school of officers who
have been on the battlefront, have now
changed their views, however, and there
should be no more talk of anything Ger
man III the American Army.
A good illustration OF the German
officer caste point Of view, W $ giyenwhen
one of our companies, having large
number of wounded stretcher eases to
deal with, both American and German,
was compelled to use German prisoners
as stretcher bearers while going TO the
rear. One of the prisoners, when told to
take hold of the litter of wounded Ger
man and help bear the man 10 the rear.
stood very erect, poked his nose IN the air
and said, ''Nein, Ich bin OfIcer." An
American sergeant, turning to man who
spoke German, asked, What's the matter
with that guy, why DOESN'T he get busy
When the reason was explained the ser
geant said. We'll, III fix that
quick" and taking his knife, he cut off
the shoulder straps of the oiEoer, TO the
great dismay of the latter, and sith good
volly Of American oaths, which the Ger
man officer evidently undsntood, told
him to get to work quick. The German
officer went to work.
