 Born in 1888 in Ireland, a carpen ter's son, he was carried with his parents in the tide of Irish immigra tion to America while he was child After service at Burlington, Vt., and jolting trip west on a prairie schooner were among his boyhood memories, bringing him finally to St Paul, Minn., in 1852, when Indians in gay blankets stalked the streets of that frontier town. One evening, the missionary Cretin, first Bishop of St Paul, while watching from his win dow some boys of his parish at play called to John Ireland and Thomas O'Gorman-who later became bishop of Sioux Falls-to come into the church. He asked them if they wish ed to become priests. Both he and his playmate agreed that priesthood was their ambition. Bishop Cretin sent them, in charge of a guardian to France, where they were educated by the Marist Fathers.

not support a measure or consent to the passage of one that does not provide that the Territorial Legis lature shall have power to amend it or repeal it, that does not provide that the Territorial Legislature may take over the control of the fisher ies, that does not afford protection to spawning grounds, that does not provide for the administration of the fisheries in Alaska instead of Wash ington It is noteworthy that there has been no objection raised to tho three distinctive Sulzer provisions. As long as it is clearly stated that the Territorial Legislature has the right to amend or repeal the law, or take over the control of the fish cries, details of the measure can not long do injury. The Legisla- ture meets every two years, and there is provision for special ses. sions if that should prove too infre- quent.

IS HOME RULE MEASURE
Bill Permits People To Take Control of Fish, cries Through Terri
 toriaI Legislature

Picking out a regulative detail Of the Sulzer Fisheries bill as a basis for its contention, the Dispatch con cludes that, if canneries would build enough traps along the 26,OOO miles of Alaska coast, they could shut the short line off from seine fisher men, and put them out of business. The Dispatch then proceeds to give Delegate Charles A. Sulzer credit for honesty in permitting the insertion Of this provision in his bill, but insin- uates that he was used by canning interests. Then it says that MT. Sulzer did not know what the effect of his bill would be in regard to this amendment until he had discussed the matter with the fishermen.
 While Mir Sulzcr explained long ago that his bill was tentative, and not put forth as perfect measure, and invited, criticism of it and sug- gestions for it's perfection, and while the history. of the preparation of the bill and the steps it's author has tdk6u dHu IS tdhllS lO pcIlcCt IL dI . generally known summary of the history will bear repeating.
 Shortly after the beginning of the regular session of Congress, MT. Sul- ger discovered that the Alexander fisheries bill was not dead, but that Judge Alexander, chairman of the House Committee on Marine and Fisheries, believing his bill to be what the people of Alaska wanted expected to press it for passage. He told Judge Alexander that the peo pie of Alaska were not pleased with that measure
 MT. Sulzer was firmly convinced that the authority to take over the control of the fisheries of Alaska should be vested in the Territorial Legislature, that there should be ample provision for the protection and extension of the spawning grounds of the salmon, and that the

The Germans checked along the Somme and

quently repulsed with greater loss.
BY the end Of the first week in April the Germans
were faced with the choice between a Verdun op-
Grafton with Amiens as the objective transfer OF
their attacks to the north They chose the latter
course with utmost celebrity and the promptitude OF
their change suggested strongly their strategy
at the outset had been based, upon one supreme
blow between the Scarpe and the Disc, but upon a
series OF blows directed at the British
with the intention TO exploit any local advantage

In other words the Germans may have intended to
begin at the south and attack the several British
armies one after the other with the hope that some
local success against army would open the way

the British armies. Thus when their first blow against
