He further states that an the boys are clamoring to get back to Alaska and that they can not get back any too soon to suit them.

CONTROL or FOOD
 IS WAR MEASURE
Food Administration Will Go Out of Existence at Signing of
 Peace, It Is Thought

The Food Administration will last by law until legal peace is de- clared by the President. It win then automatically dissolve except as to obligations entered upon, and these must and will be discharged either by the Food Administration or by assigning them to other de- partmeuts of the government. In the meantime, the Food Administra- ton does not intend to relax its ef- forts in any direction.
 Tho Food Administration, itself, considers that the law os at present framed. is purely a war measure, and that its major provisions have no place in che country except Go serve war ends. Whatever Congress may decide as Co Che continuation after peace Of any Of the measures now in force must be a matter of special legislation. and the particu- lar department that is to continue them will. no doubt, be determined at that time. The Food Admiuiatra- ! tlon in its function of feeding peo- | pie abroad has a alrger burden after the armlstIce than before, and this burden will continue until the next harvest. There will be plenty of
 time between the armistice and peace to determine upon any detailed
 method of liquidation of tho war agencies of Che govornmeu. and what measures must Doe continued thru out the reconstruction period.

LARGE SUMS

 in Alaska

An executive departments of Al- aska. with the exception of the gov aument railway and the Forestry department, are asking for larger
 sums from Congress this year than ever These estimates are, Of course, subject Co pruning before being granted.
 The Lighthouse board wants S75,- U00 to install 23 aceylene lights and Ave gas buoys and S145,OOO to build d lighthouse at Cape Spencer, and S7O.OOO for repairs and coast sur yoys. This department also wants sS3O.OOO for new boats. These
 sums are not at all large when it is considered the great need of aids to navigation on the Alaskan coast, and it is probable they will be al- lowed as a result Of the recent agita- ton started after the sinking of the Princess Sophia.
 The Department Of Agriculture wants S75,OOO for stations at Ko- diak. where it plans to experiment with stock breeding.
 The Bureau of Fisheries wants |S112.OOO for the protection of the ! fur seals
