STOCKS VERY QUIET;
PRICES FAIRLY STEADY

NEW YORK. June 1s.-Today's ses-
sion of the stock exchange did not
produce a large record of transactions,
a disposition to go slow and on the
safe side being in evidence, pending
the developments in connection with
government financing now under way.
At the same time there was not
much evidence of weakness. the liqui-
dation of the last day or two making
the technical position of the market
better. while short sales have aided
the improvement.
Admittedly the war news from va
rious fields continues rather favor
able. and as yet there has been no
great disturbance in finances through
the heavy income tax payments
Advances were largely In spefalties

GOLD SECUR|TY|FU US.
WILL FINANCE FISHERY
Alaskan Mariner Sings Praises of
the Beluga-"Beats Rein
deer Steak"

Capt. Peter Bayne Of Nome, Alaska.
tanned by more than fifty years of serv-
ice on the sea, is in Washington today
to tell government officials how the Unit
ed States and the allies can be supplied
with meat almost indefinitely by using
the beluga fish Of the north Pacific and
Arctic oceans. Here are some Of the
things Capt. Bayne says of beluga:
Each fish contains 1000 pounds of
meat, a barrel and half of oil and has
q hide convertible into the finest leather
in the world. 1t lives upon smaller fish
and abounds in the waters OFF Alaska.
Although the beiuga runs from twelve
to sixteen feet in length, Capt. Bayne
declares it can be caught with nets. 1t
can be easily salted or canned.
The sea captain, who is in the neigh
borhood of seventy-five years old. owns
at Nome more than 30 acres Of ground,
which he says Is in the rich. gold belt
of Alaska and has never been mined.
Going on the theory that the United
States needs gold in its Treasury to
Jack war loans and food to keep up its
own people and the allies. Capt Bayne
Is making this proposition to Uncle
Sam:
Take the gold in my land as security.
give me the currency to finance an ex-
pedition and will bring from the wa
ters Of Alaska enough beluga fish to
keep the United States and the allies
amply supplied with meat
With. ten or twelve light-draft ships
and forty or fifty seamen who are be-
yend the age of military service, Capt.
3ayne declares he could go to the Arc
tic, get plenty of labor from among the
natives and release to the United States
a source Of meat supply which has
never been touched.
'If 1 placed a reindeer steak and a
beluga steak on the table before you"
said the old sailor, "you would take the
beluga every time. / have read some
talk in the newspa pers about using the
whale and the walrus for food. They
are rancid and strong, but the beluga is
not"

GERMANS ARE DETECTED
over MILITARY FAILURE
Economic Situation in Interior Be-
comes More and More Serious,
Says Diplomat.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, June 1s.-The enthusiasm
created by the first German offensive
has passed and feeling of profound
detection reigns among the German
people, according to an interview
with a neutral diplomat who has just
arrived in Geneva from Berlin in La
Suisse.
The people at home expected a
quick victory from the early reports
in Official bulletins and, above all. a
quick peace. The principal question
asked In Berlin last week was:
Have we entered Paris?"
The economic situation in the in
terror of Germany, the diplomat de-
clared. is becoming more and more
serious.
Germans both military and civil
ians. now realize and virtually admit
that the constant arrivals Of fresh
American troops will turn the tide of
the war.
The diplomat concluded his inter-
view with a statement that during a
recent secret sitting of the reichstag
the question of autonomy for Alsace-
Lorraine was discussed officially for
the first time since the beginning of
the war.
