MexicanS and Chinese Mix Things for a Time at the Loring Can
 nery Plant.
WAS SOME STABBING
Trouble Started by the Mexicans Demanding Discharge of the
 Foreman.

Assistant District Attorney Steve Ragan, of Ketchikan, brought nine Mexican employtes of the Lorine cannery to Ketchikan last week to answer charges of stabbing, wound ing and disturbing the peace, and placed them in. the Federal jail there, according to word received on the Princess Alice
 The trouble started at Lorine over complaint against the fore manded to be discharged. The management discharged the man but it is charged that one of the Mexicans started the fuss again by cutting a gash in his neck A riot started and the Mezicans refused to work The Chinese continued to work but their doing so peeved the things at them. Mr Ragan finally arrived upon the scene and stopped the mischief.
 The cannery, operating four lines, stopped during the trouble. Four scow loads of fish were waiting to be used and the iron chinks were loaded up to the cans. MT. Ragan saw that they began operating again before he left for Ketchikan.

Some of the Many Plans Advanced for Getting Rid of German
 KuItur Ideas.
FROM THE INVENTORS
One Inventor Wants to Pet. rify German Soldiers by Squirting Cement
 on Them.

LONDON. Aug. 14.-If the dreams of numerous amateur British inven torse who have been besieging the Ministry of Munitions could be real ized. the war would have been over long since and little would be left of the German Army. Recent pro posals include the following:
 Freeze the clouds and mount artil lery thereon.
 Train cormorants to fly to Essen to pick the mortar from Krupp' s walls so that they will crumble.
 Trail from balloons monster mag nets that would snatch rifles from the hands of German soldiers.
 Perch men on shells to steer them
 A suggestion often submitted is to attach a searchlight to an anti aircraft guns, project the light on a Gotha and shoot along the beam. Un- fortunately, shells will not follow a path of light.
 Other schemes for dealing with hostile aircraft are to suspend heavy guns from captive balloons; to arm defense air planes with scythes; to provide heat rays for setting Zeppe- lins on fire, and to cover the moon with a big black balloon. To pre- vent polished rails shining at night and acting as a guide to enemy air craft, the last coach of the last train is to drop blackening on them.
 A shell containing gravel is to lay pathway over mud, and another, containing an irritant powder of a sticky substance, is to hamper ma chine guns.
 The relay shell' is a favorite pro posal, the plan being for a shell at the height of it's flight to expel a smaller inner shell. As shell does not point directly along it's trajec tory, it would be impossible to se- cure accuracy of aim for the second shell.
 Among the more miscellaneous pro iects are:
 To petrify German soldiers by squirting cement over them.
 To throw snakes by pneumatic propulsion into the enemy trenches
 To pentrate and attack Germany itself via a tube" built "all the way from England.
 It is said that about one sugges tion in ten that reach the Ministry of Munitions is novel and possible
 The Air Ministry announces that it's air inventions committee, formed about nine months ago, has exam ined more than 5000 inventions and suggestions.

BIG PLANTS ARE
 BEING CONSTRUCTED

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA. - Two large ship-building plants are be- ing erected in Southern Chile They will be ready for operation in Sep tember and the building of wooden vessels will begin immediately. The first vessel of 5000 tons, will be launched in March, 1919, accord ing to the schedule, and another yes sel of the same size will leave the ways shortly afterward.
 The new shipyards are being constructed at Lianao. The wood to be used in ship-building is native timber-Chilean oak, spruce and other woods. The machinery for the new vessels will be bought in the United States if it is possibl to get it from this country; other wise the builders will get it from Antofogasta.
