Food Officials Halt
Proposed Cancellation
OF Arn1y's Contracts

Especial Dispatch to The Trtbnne)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-With the
food problem of Europe in such shape,
the food administration was almost
raralyzed. it was reported to-day, to
learn yesterday that army purchasing
agents were ready to begin to cancel
all provision contracts beyond those
needed to meet the requirements of
men actually in camp or abroad.
The vast stores the army has on hand
beyond its immediate needs and its
outstanding contracts probably consti-
tute the most aesly controlled, di
rected and rapidly transportable re-
serve of food in the world to-day, and
the food administration people could
hardly conceive of greater calamity
to their plans for rescuing Europe than
to have it dissipated by cancellation of
contracts. Steps were taken to have
the contracts maintained in force.

WICKERSHAM
 SPEAKS IN I
 WRANGELL
Ed Russell and Grover Vim Also Address the
 Audience

The Redmen's hall was crowded to its fullest capacity Tuesday. night for the Republican rally.
 w. H. Warren presided as chair man.
 Ed C. Russell, publisher of the Juneau Dispatch, and candidate for Territorial Senator was the first speaker introduced. After talking along patriotic lines for a few mln- ut-s MT. Russell read some corres- pondence from William Britt, who while acting as vice cohsul for Nor way, advertised his readiness to lend assistance to Norwegian citi- zens who had taken their first pa pers, but who did not wish to be drafted. Mir. Russell called par. ticular attention to the following from letter to Jack Sutherland, secretary of he Alaska Labor Unlon at Anchorage, in which MT. Britt says:
 "There is no law whereby Nor wegian citizen can be drafted into the United States army. A Nor. wegian who has taken out his first papers or intention papers is still g Norwegian citizen. Intention pa. pers are nothing but declaration of intention which intention may become changed like intention -;.A any other matter. Numerous Nor wegians in the States have been drafted, mostly because they have not made the proper kind of protest, i. e., persons who had taken ou. their first papers.
 Grover C. Winn was the next speaker introduced. Mir. Vim dealt with the subject of public ed ucation, and outlined what the Re publican party proposed to do so far as the educational feature of the platform was concerned. He de- clared himself in favor of voca- tional schools in each community as far as possible. He stood for greater efficiency in the schools, and stated that with the money the schools now receive from the Ter ritory that would be possible.
 Following MT. Winn's talk the chairman introduced Hon. Jares Wickersham, the principal speaker for the evening.
 Judge Wickersham began hls ad- dress with a most masterly tribute to Woodrow Wilson, the President of the United States, the Com mapder. in. Chief of the Army and Navy, and the leader of the Ameri- can people. He declared the Presi- dent to be a. big man who had prov ed himself thoroughly ycompetent-a man who is acting on the belief that freedom was intended for the old world as we'll as the knew freedom of the human race.
 Judge Wickersham said that the President had declared politics ad- journed and that he is acting on it.. Tatt and Hughes and Wilcox, the Republican national committeeman, have been called by the President to his assistance, serving faithfully and we'll without pay. He declared that Republicans are supporting 1 Wilson without quibble-that there is no longer any North or South-that we are a united people and all Americans without party so far as the war is concerned, and loyal to the President to the las, man, woman and child. (Applause)

phasizing the high standard of character of the men who organ ized the order that the beautiful ritual in use by the Arctic Broth erhood has undergone few, if any essential changes since the first ritual was adopted almost 20 years ago.
 In the original ritual was found. If a brother falls. gently lift him up: if he fails, imbue him with fortitude," and it has re- mained ever since as a noble pre- cept for any man to follow. Tht dog and the horse, these faithful animals that were so all-essential to mans well-being on the rough trails of the north in the early days, were not forgotten by these men who framed the first ritual. for a firm admonition was given and a strong promise exacted not to abuse or ill. treat these dumb brutes, upon whom would fall the heaviest burden of successfully and quickly getting over the trail, and it is safe to say that many a rough hand that was about to de- scend with a whip or stick upon the back of a dog or horse, through some fancied grievance, was stayed by the first lessons from the pages of the first ritual, as written by these men. And the same lessons are in that ritual today, and no man can say they are not lessons well worthy to be considered.

war program. He declared that the most of the obstacles the Presi- dent has encountered have been in his own party.
 Judge Wickersham devoted a few minutes to reviewing the dele gateShip contest. He declared tha, he was elected to Congress by the people instead of Judge len nings, and that when the contest came up for bearing in Washing ton the committee unanimously de- cided the case in his favor-unan- imously decided that Judge Jen- nings was wrong.
 Judge Wickersham next took up the shipping bill, calling particular attention to the fact that Alaska was the only part ot the United l States where foreign vessels are [ not permitted to engage in coast Wise traffic as war measure, made necessary on account of the scarcity ot American ships. He emphasized Alaska s great need at this time tor better shipping facilities and called attention to the eXorbitant freight rates to Alaska. He read from a tariff showing that the freight rates l by water from New York to Gal weston are something like a third of the cost per ton from Seattle to l Wrangell. He charged that when the shipping bill was about to come up in Congress Mir. Sulzer obtained leave of absence and went to California, and that during his ab. sence MT. Bunch of the Alaska Steamship company got the joker into the shipping bill which de- rrived Alaska of the relief that she so sorelv needed. He told of the expensive lobby of the Alaska Steamship company in Washington declaring that that company by reason of its prominence and power and commanding financial influence was able to control legislation. Judge Wickersham referred to the Sulzer bill providing for full territorial form of government, and charged that it had a joker in 1t which provided for a re-opening Of the prohibition question.
 The speaker talked at sone length on the SuIzer fishing bill which he said was substantially the sameeaS the Alexander bill. He stated that four great corpora. tions own the controlling influence in the fishing business of Alaska, and that these corporations now have goo notices and maps in Wash iugton ready to file applications 1 for trap sites on moments notice and that If the Sulzer Fisheries Bill should pass it would be less than a day until these applications would be filed and the fish-trap sites of Alaska pass from the people of Alas j ka for a period of ten years. He also called attention to the fact that the bill makes no provision for the territory receiving any tax from the holders of trap sites. It provides only that tax of one cent on every
 salmon caught in trap shall be paid into the United States treas ury. He said some of the results of the bill would be to cut out the troller-to cut out the gas-boat
 man, and would necessarily mean
 a general exodus of everybody who
 depends on the fishing industry for
 a living.
 At the close of the meeting many
 people came forward to shake
 hands with the speakers.
 
 About an hour after the meeting
 the party left on a gas-boat for
 Petersburg where they held ral-
 ly last night. Hon. P. C. Mo
 Cormack accompanied them to
 Petersburg.

WHY PRICES GO
 UP DURING WARS
Robert SCoyiIIe Explains Problem
 That Puzzles Most People

Hartford March 22.-''D1d you
 ever stop to wonder why food prices
 are high in war time or have you just complained about the fact that they are high, and then wondered 1 why in the world the government ] hasn't stepped in and brought them | back to the ante -bellum level?" asked l Federal Food Administrator Robert l Scoville today. The next time you complain ahout prices, stop to think of the farmer who grew the things ! YOU are ~buying,' continued MT. Sco- l vile Do you know that he is pay ing s2 or $2.50 day for labor he 1 could get before the war for S1 or l S1.25-and that he is having a mighty hard time getting anybody at ! alIo Do you know that every rail- ] road in the country is consested and 1 that it is much more difficult to get farm products to market than 1t was q year ago? Do you know that the man who buys food from the farm CTS and then distributes it to the wholesale dealers. has to pay much more for his labor than he did before the war; And do you know that all of his necessary expenses have been
 on the ascendant? DO you know that
 the wholesale dealer is paying wages
 and salaries that he could scarcely
 have d teamed of a few years ago and that the same thing is true of
 tho retailers"
 And then. on the other hand, when you wonder why the govern ment hasn't taken a hand. have you stopped to consider that prices have risen on'a much lower scale than has ruled in other wars? Have you thought when you paid ten or eleven cents for sugar. with the country going through a sugar famine, that it would have gone much higher had not the government. through the United States food administration, taken measures to stabilize the mar 1 ket? Have you stopped to wonder 1 why the wholesale price of flour is i less than S11 a barrel, when 1t went { as high as $15 last summer and 1 threatened to keep mountingr Have you remembered that the farmer is 1 getting more money out of s10 or S11 1 flour today that he got out of $14 ! or $15 flour six months ago? 1
 You know that prices are high l and you wonder why somebody 1 doesn't do something about it. Prices 1 are high, but the wonder is that they 1 are not far higher, when you come to think of it.'
