FOREIGN TRADE
 TO BE A FEATURE
 FOLLOWING WAR

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31.-Look- ing to postwar commerce, the for eign trade department of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce is registering manufacturers and their productive capabilities in all sections of the United States. Four thou sand manufacturers, without foreign connections nor the means to estab
 lish them, have been offered the ser vices of the bureau in placing them in communication with reliable and experience export and import firms. This will permit thousands of manu- lecturers throughout the United States who could do a large and profitable foreign business, but who have contented themselves with home markets owing to technicalities of foreign trade which they did not understand, to find markets in the Orient, Oceania and Latin America.

FAVOR OF MEXICANS

FL PASO, Tex, Nov. 1.-The pur- pose of an office opened here a short time ago by a representative of the United States employment bureau Department of Labor, is to see that Mexicans, re-entering the United States in search of work, get 6 square deal.
 Edward H. Decalles, the represen- tative in charge of the office, will see that the condition under which Mexicans are employed in the United States are fulfilled. He was in the traffic department of the Mexican Central Railroad for more than 20 years, once serving as superintend ent of terminals at Tampico, Mexi co.'s important tonnage port.

COLORED SOLDIERS
 ARE SOME FIGHTERS |.
 AND SEEK DANGER

WITH THE AMERICANS IN FRANCE, Nov. 1.-American Negro soldiers in France are a source of never-ending interest and amusement to the French, who do not tire of watching and listening as they wield picks and shovels, and chant as they work in a weird minor key.
 They have shown a fearlessness amounting almost to utter indiffer- ence-if their white officers are with them-a carelessness where personal danger is involved that is at once amazing and sometimes annoying to the officers, and desire to fight which amounts to a mania.
 The American negro soldier, in the words of Colonel who commands a regiment of them and has for years known a good deal about their char acteristics. is very close to a fatal st when it comes to fear. Repeat edly his own troops bandy remarks among themselves, the gist of which is about as follows:
 Don't worry about that shell, Ras tus It ain't got your number on it.
 And the shell screams by, the number stand idly around expose themselves as they should not. The Colonel frankly admits being afraid when big shells are flying about, and seeks cover
 The first regiment which went in @ action, long ago now, went in nrimarily because it threatened to decimate itself in activity Razors and knives came more and more free ly into play, and the men demanded so frequently and insistenuy of their officers why they might not get some action that it was finally arranged for them. They proved so strenu ous fighters in the line as they had behind it.
 It goes without saying that the negro soldier is as boastful as any in similar profession. The Marines had just covered themselves with glory in the Chateau Thierry fight when delegation from negro regiment in line in a quiet sector waited on the commanding officer and asked if they too might not get in on the fun"
 Let us go in, Colonel" they said We are the only real fighters. The Marines are all right, of course, but

Well Known Resident of Juneau and Manager of Telephone System Died
 At 5 O'Clock
WELL KNOWN PIONEER
Came to Alaska in Early Days and Was Known
 For a Public Spirited Citizen

Edward Webster, proprietor of the Juncau-Douglas Teleghono Company, pioneer resident of Juneau, and popu lar citizen passed away this morning at 3 o'clock after a lingering illness.

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 2.-Platinum iewefry like the extra lump of su gar in your coffee and the extra ounce of white flour in your rolls, promises to be non-existent within a very short time. War demands for platinum, iridium and palladium have become so keen the war industries board decided little "Hooverizing" in their use might meet the situa- tion, and the resultant Congressional act controlling their use became eff fective the first of last month.
 The bill. prohibits possession of stores of any of these meals except by firms of persons holding licenses. The bill places the holding of quan- titles of the metal on a par with wartime ownership of explosives, and makes the bureau of mines re sponsible for enforcement of the statute.
 Manufacturing jewellers, dentists. directors of laboratories and chemi- cal engineers are among those keen ly interested in the provisions of the measure. Any duly authorized Ii censing agent under the explosive act can accept applications for Ii censing to hold stores of the meals. but actual issuing of the licenses is done by the war industries board By means of these licenses and data gathered as they are issued the board will acquire an inventory of the to. tai amount of them held in this conn try.
 The new law prohibits the use of the three metals in the manufac ture or repair of ornaments or few elry and places sharp limitations on their use in other lines not associat ed with war work.
 A seriousness of the platinum met. all situation lies in the fact that the output has decreased while war demands have increased. Platinum is used principally in the chemical industry, inidfum in electrical work and pallidium in dentistry, the latter to realese platinum for chemical work. Platinum is essential in the manufacture of sulphuric acid and is used in certain nitric acid nro- cseses. Another important war re- quirement is that platinum com. pounds as contact points for gaso. line engines.

IS UNFAIR TO MEN.

LONDON, Oct. 31.-British air forces do not allow publication of stories of exploits of the most sue cessful British aviators using the names as in France and Germany because it is considered unfair to men who are doing fine work but who have not had opportunities for winning many air battles. Also they say the loss of a famous avia- tof creates a bad impression if the people at home have been led to believe that he is almost a super man.

BIGGEST BEARS
 ON THE GLOBE
 ARE IN ALASKA

SEATTLE, Nov. 1.-Bears bigger than any other on the globe roam on the Alaska Peninsula and on the Islands of the Aleutian string, ac- cording to c. Madsen, big game hunter, game warden and fur trad CT of Unimak Island, which lies near Unimak Pass, where the steam CTS come out through the Aleutian Islands enroute to Nome and the Boring Sea.
 How would you like to bring down a bear weighing a ton?" MT. Madsen asked when here recently. "I had that experience two years ago. The bear measured twelve feet four inches from snout to tail tip and weighed approximately 1000 pounds when dressed It took three shots to bring him down."

May Ask For Federal Aid
For Farmers In Burned Out

council Of defense, representatives Of
farm organizations, federal govern

Montana State Association of Credit
Men are in Joint conference here to-
day, at the call of Governor Sam V.
Stewart. They are considering federal
aid for those farmers whose crops
have either been ruined or have yield
ed so poorly that they will require as
sistance to tide them over the year.
Governor Stewart is ex-officio chair
man of h council. ~
Hon. Chas. Greenfield, state COM
missioner of agriculture, has been
communicating with county farm bu-
reaus and county agricultural agents.
He has collected "a mass Of data for
the conference, which probably will
not conclude its deliberations until to-
night.
It is thought hat a government
appropriation will be sought through
the Montana congressional delegation.
1t happens that the sections of the
state where crops were poor this sum-
mer, some even being burned out. are
the same which suffered a like fate
last year. Many Of the ranchers are
new settlers and some of them have
never had a crop, it is asserted. "
