 ON WEST COAST OF
 BARANOFF ISLAND

Word has been received by The Empire from John E. Stewart from Port Alexander that the trolling had been good on the west coast of Bar anoff Island, especially around SniDs Bay and Whale Bay.

 The fact that the Port Walter, Rake and Tyse scows have been taken away from that district has lessened the market for fish there.
 Mr. Stewart also said that the halibut boat Rolf struck rock near Whale Bay few days ago. and was sunk, but has been raised since.

NEW REGULATIONS FOR NON CONS
 FOR CHEVRONS

PARIS. Aug. 6.-American "non- cons" are no longer to wear their corporal and sergeant chevrons on both arms as heretofore. but will sport them on the right sleeve only. There is some discussion as to the precise reason for the new order whether a saving of chevrons is in' tended. or whether 1t is to prevent the "non-coms" from being gradual ly covered with stripes altogether. Service stripes, such as are nnfor' tunately apt to come. and kfpdred marks of honor will eventually leave little room for double chevons.
