CHARLES JOHNS OF
 TACOMA TALKS OF FlSHERMEN'S LUCK

Charles Johns, deputy collector of Tacoma, who visited in Ketchikan this spring, in the interest of the income tax returns, returned south few days ago and this is what he says of Alas ka fishing and Ketchikan in particular under a heading of "Fishermen make large profits.' in the Tacoma Daily News:
 Fishing in Alaska is exceedinly profitable these days and is exciting as much interest as gold hunting in some localities.
 Charles Johns of the internal rev. enue department, Tacoma, who has re- turned from an official trip to the north, says the fisherman's luck is a curiosity. One instance that came under his notice was that of an angler at Ketchikan who. was out trolling and brought in 35 salmon for his days work, receiving $105 for his catch. In nearly all the towns along the coast the fishing industry is bringing rich returns'

 ]. s. ENEMIES
Five Are Arrested With Good Prospects for More
 Shortly

SAN FRANCISCO, May 15.-Follow. ing the arrest of five men few days ago by the combined vigilance of the 'ccal police force and federal author. ties, the discovery has been made that q well organized gang of pro-Germans exist in the city, the members of which pledged themselves to further in every way the German cause. More arrests are expected shortly. Those under ar- est are August Mayer; Ludwig Kreed- sky; Herman Kaddi; Franck Hempf and Ferdinand Scholtz.
 The authorities claim that members have been active in the manufacture of plants. Part of their propaganda has been to discourage enlistment. One of the arresting officers says: "They have gone further than merely discouraging enlistment. When they have found young man within draft Iage who lent a sympathetic ear to their talk, they have proposed that he go when called, and at the first oppor. tunity, escape from the American lines to the German lines, first placing a bomb in the American trenches. They have promised big money for this kind of desertion."

Says it Would Mean Lack of Confidence in The
 Administration

WASHINGTON, May 15.-m letter opposing Senator Chamberlain reso- lution, the President says that he would regard the passage by direct vote as lack of confidence ill the ad- ministration and an attempt to take the conduct of the war out of his hands; adding: "The executive runc- tions are defined by the constitution and the country comes where the re- spons:bility lies, and hold responsible the cnas who can be held to- their duty.

SAYS GERMANS ARE
 GUILTY OF SACRILEGE

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Cardinal Mcrcier, the Archbishop of Malines, Belgium, has issued vo the clergy and adherents of his diocese a stirring cir. cular letter of protest against the fore. ible seizure by the German authori- ties of Catholic Church property in Belgium. The Cardinals letter copies Of which the Belgian Legation received today. is in part as follows:
 "The painful tidings, announced semi-officially on February 8, by the occupying power, have been confirmed. The Bulletin of laws and edicts dated February 21 requires an inventory of the bells and organs of our churches Informed by experience, we need not delude ourselves; the inventory Of to- day is the signal for the requisition of tomorrow
 The repeated protests of the Sov- erein Pontiff, our appeal to the Chan cellor of the Empire, appear thus to have Eeen in vain.
 'In the execution of this duty of our pastoral office, we protest, dear breth. ren, against the injury which the fore ible seizure of church property will cause to the liberty of our Holy Mother Church.
 "W, add that the removal of the bells, without the consent of the relig, ious authorities, and despite their pro- tests, will be sacrilege. ....
 "Yes, the seizure of our bells will be a proclamation; whosover assists in it will lend the hand to sacrilege."
