DELEGATE REGISTERS PROTEST
 AGAINST CANNERY OPERATIONS
 AT ANDREAFSKY, LOWER YUKON

along the Yukon by reason of the undertaking of canning operation near the mouth of the river.
 "The general attitude of the Blu reau in respect to this matter wa made public several years ago through an item in the report of Alaska Fisheries and Fur Industries in 1914, pages 47-49. The articlt in question was concluded as fol lows:
 "'Although there are quite good runs of chinook. coho. and chum salmon up the Yukon. it does not appear that the establishment Of canneries would be profitable or ad- visable. The lack of transportation facilities and the high cost of put ting up a pack would not justify the undertaking. Moreover, the wis dom of such an enterprise, at least along any extensive line, Is very doubtful. as the Yukon plays pe- culiar role in maintaining and sup plying a very necessary article of food for natives and whites, as we'll as for dogs. The latter are indis- pensable to winter travel except as reindeer may be used occasionally. A fish diet forms not only the cheap est food for dogs, but Is the best food for keeping them in good con dition for winter service. There is strong prejudice against the es- tablishment of canneries on the low CT Yukon, if such an undertaking should ever be considered feasible, as it would mean cutting off or greatly reducing the supply of sal mon up the river, the result of which would be great privation and hardship to the people of that dis trict. Therefore. under present con ditions, the Yukon should remain undisturbed commercially in its pro- duction of salmon save for loca. needs
 "It seems only proper under the circumstances to inform you that the Bureau will keep close watch of the Yukon River and at the first sign of any depletion in the supply of salmon, steps will be taken to place the necessary restrictions upon any operations that may be undertaken. It is considered only fair to sound this note of warning for your guid- ance in considering what the future may have in store.

 Commissioner"

 WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 21.- The efforts of the peacemakers in the fight which has recently devel- oped over the war department leg islation seem to be having good ef- feet, and the prospects are bright for the enactment of legislation that will give the administration what it has asked for. The judiciary com mittee has revised the administra- tion bill extending President Will sons authority to coordinate the government agencies in accord with the compromise plan and ordered the revised measure reported to the full committee next Monday morn ing.
 Until the measure has been placed before the senate, it is uncertain whether it will be satisfactory to either faction. The administration supporters insist that the measure be passed as recommended by the President, and assert that any com promise which curtails the Pres! dents power in any way will be un. satisfactory and reflection upon his judgment. Considerable deoa:r is expected before the measure be- comes a law.

FRENCH FLYERS
 MAKE ESCAPES:
 REACH HOLLAND

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 21.-Lieuten. ant Roland Garros, one of the most famous of the French aviators, with a companion, Lieut.. Antoine Marchal, reached Holland this morning after making their escape from a German prison and crossing the greater part of the German empire undiscovered The two French flyers were at the point of starvation when they fip ally reached safety.
 Lieut.. Garros and his brother avi- ator left the French lines nearly two years ago and flew directly over Berlin. dropping paper bombs containing documents presenting the allied side of the war.

MEN FOR SHIPYARDS
 IS SUCCESSFUL
iAssnclaIed PresSl

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Feb. 21.- The recruiting campaign carried out by the department of labor. unde. the control of the federal employ. lnent bureau, for securing worker for the shipbuilding industry, is sue ceeding far beyond the expectations of the government. The origina, number set to be secured was 250.0OO men, but preliminary estimates show that this number will be great. ly exceeded.
 The response made to the call of the employment agencies are com ing in by the thousand. The atti tude of the union men is making the work much easier than a differ. ent sentiment would. Thousands of union men have joined without re. striction or provision against work ing with unorganized labor.
 As the result of the campaign the shipyards will shortly be man. ned so that they will be able to turn out a maximum capacity out. put and work day and night. The government is highly elated over the showing.
