CONSCRlPTION
 OF WOMEN IS
 GERMAN PLAN

COPENHAGEN, Jan. 24 - Plans for general consciption of women af- ter the war are being made in Ger many, and there is a general feeling that girls, as we'll as boys, will be compelled to undergo a regular period of training corresponding to the Ger man youths service in the army. The service proposed for girls is not mili- tary, but civil, It is proposed that all women should, preferably at the age of IT, be taken from their homes and compulsory trained, either in a profession, a trade, or in household duties.
 The characteristic German division between rich and poor is maintained in the project Girls of the upper classes are to be trained in special in- stitutions; poor girls will go to fac tories or be placed in private house holds, where their employers will give them a trifle of pocket money and make a contribution to the State.
 The idea meets with wide commen- dation in the German newspapers, but one English critic notes that "there is some difference between male conscription which puts a man into a regiment run by and for the State, and a female conscription which makes a girl work without wages for profit of private individ- uals. The latter cannot with accur- acy be called anything but slavery.

 One of the finest displays of red fox furs seen in Seward for months is today exhibited in the show win dows at Sexton & Thwaites.

OPEN LETTER
 TO THE PUBLIC
 ABOUT SAVING

In an open letter to the Press, Judge Royal A. Gunnison federal food commissioner for Alaska, says, among other things:
 As you are, of course, aware, the United States Food Administration has extended it's activities to Alaska and President Wilson has approved the appointment of the writer as Fed cral Food Administrator for Alaska.
 Mir. Hoover, the United States Food Administrator, has stated the pur- poses and hopes of the administration tcrsely, as follows:
 1t is the hope of the Food Admin isuation to 50 guide the trade in the fundamental food commodities as to eliminate vicious speculation, eXtor- tion and wasteful practices. and to guard our exports for our own peo- pie and to cooperate with the Allies to prevent imitation of prices, and that we stimulate in every manner within our power the saving of our food in order that We may increase exports 10 our Allies to a point which will enable them to properly provision their armies and to feed their peoples in Winter
 The Food Administration is called into being to stabilize and not to dis turb conditions and to defend honest enterprise against illegitimate com petition. It has been devised to cor rect the abnormalties and abuses that have crept into trade by reason of the world disturbance and to restore busi- ness as far as may be to a reasonable basis.
 There is no doubt but that the con seryation and control of our food, and the stimulation of production of food materials, is abslutely necessary to our success in the war.
 The newspapers of the country play am extremely important part in the work of the Food Administration to "grubstakc" our soldiers and our Al lies, for it is through the Press al most entirely that the Food Admins t'ation is able to reach the individ- uals constituting the great public, to set forth it's aims, the necessities for the work and what it is accomplish ing.
 The limited space and facilities of the Alaska newspapers is realized by the Federal Food Administrator, but the patriotism of the publishers and the staffs of the various papers is al- 50 appreciated. Hence, we have no hesitation in asking your assistance in this work.
 The Federal Food Administrator for Alaska has established a Division of Publicity, under the immediate di- rcction of Mir. L. l.. Harding, and this Division will see to it that Ma tional and Territorial Food Admins tration news and information will go forward to you at frequent intervals.

New York, May 7.-Continuing the

United States government took charge
Of the stock market, prices were
buoyant again today. U. s. Steel was
the leader with Tobacco again a close
second. Corn Products, Ice and a
few other specialties were active and
higher. Cotton was neglected. There
was no news to account for the mar
ket activity. Conditions moved it
conditions galvanized from Washing
ton.
The situation is such that 1t would
have been a wonder IL the market
had not moved upward. Nearly
20, ,000. 900 individuals subscribed to the
Third Liberty Loan, and perhaps sew
eral millions of them paid in cash for
the bonds they took. The others
must produce the money or the credit
soon. The result is that a vast
amount Of money and credit that had
been lying dormant in anticipation OF
the loan is now afloat passing from
bank to bank and readjusting itself
to the needs of the country. When
much money and credit is afloat Wall
Street always gets its share.
Steel Is leader Of the market be-
cause it Is the one stock that every
body knows all about, and represents
the one industry dominant while the
war lasts and sure to be dominant in
peace.
With Steel as a rallying point for the
financial, the industrial, the political
and the labor world the stock market
is assured Of substantial support. Re-
public Iron and Bethlehem acted
