SEATTLE, April 24.-Secretary Redfield at the opening of the confer ence between the Canadian and Am erican Fisheries commissions said the questions at issue concern the whole American continent from the shores of the Arctic to the Mexican borders. He believed the friendship between Canada and the United States should be more firmly cemented.
 He stated that the one all import ant thing to do now is to win the war. He said the German atrocities in Bel gium were the normal thing for the Germans to do and were not due to outbursts of passion or hate or theft, but are virtues when done on the or der of the state. Our boys over there are fighting the devil and his work. Spiritual verities are things for which America stands. She stands for right eousness and nothing else, which will make her the moral leader of the world.

MOST FAMOUS INDIAN
 CHIEF CALLED BEYOND

That Chief Goodlataw, most famous of the Indian chiefs of Alaska, had been called to the happy hunting ground, was the word received last evening by the Rev. A. G. Shriver, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. The chief passed away on Saturday night at his headquarters at Taral, according to information received by the minister. but cause for his death was not given in the message.
 Thrifty, naturally a leader and of line of chieftains, oGodlataw had no trouble in becoming the head of the Copper River Indians and remain ing the chief. although there were many older men of the tribe, and at least one of them ambitious to be in the supreme position. He was the nephew of Nikoli, who was the chief at the head of the Copper River h. dians when the white men began to crowd to the North in the late '9Os.
 The exact age of the chief is not known, but old-timers who knew him we'll say that he was about 40 years of age. Due to his thrift and to the fact that he always managed to save part of his annual earnings, it is be- lieved that he left an estate of sev- eral thousand dollars.
 The Rev. Shriver left this morning for Taral to conduct the funeral ser Times.
