 BOUGHT LOCALLY

 factory.

 The yield of potatoes, beets, car rots, onions, cabbages and other veg etables in the Matanuska Valley. while not so heavy as last year, arc more than sufficient to supply the demands of the Anchorage market. The quality of the crop is much su perior to that of last year.

Anchorage merchants will import no vegetables from the States, but will obtain their stocks from the Matanusna district. The large sur plus, after provision has been made to meet the needs of the Commis- sion and the Anchorage merchants, will be marketed, if possible, again this season, as last season, in towns and cities along the Southwestern and Southeastern coast of Alaska.

SEED PROF|TEER|NC
 BOTH HOUSTON AND
 HOOVER NOW CHARGE
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON March 11.-Profi- teering in seeds was charged by Secre- tarv Houston and Food Administrator Hoover in a joint statement tonight, which said that prompt action in such cases would be taken whenever specific information was submitted. Many complaints of abnormally high prices are being received.
 Without adequate distribution of seed at reasonable prices there is dan ger that acreage will be lessened and that seed of poor quality will fre- quently be used" the statement said. If such conditions were to develop, it would seriously impair our national food program"
 Some increases in prices of certain seeds was said to be justified by the shortage of supply and the increased cost of doing business. The two of ficials were emphatic, however, in holding that this did not justify any one in taking selfish advantage of the opportunity to the detriment of the country Speculation in seeds. es- pecially was deprecated and dealers under federal license were warned tha, if they engaged in such practice they would be dealt with severely.
 Railroads have been instructed. Di- rector General McAdoo announced to- day, to give special attention to the movement of seeds and agriculture implements for the next sixty days tc facilitate the spring planting.

PRESIDENT INSISTS
 ON PASSAGE OF ACT
 INCREASING POWERS
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. March 11.-Presi- dent Wilson today renewed his request for enactment of the Overman bill, giving him greater powers to CO., ordinate and reorganize government departments and was said to be in- sistent upon its passage substantially In the form originally presented to congress. After a conference with the president, Senator Overman of North Carolina, author of the measure. said 1t appeared probable that a compromise could not be reached and that the dis pute would have to be fought out.'
 President Wilson was represented as refusing to accept a compromise pro- posed by Senator Smith of Georgia. to limit his authority to the army. navy and shipping board. Senator Overman said he would oppose such a limita- ton, and added that the administra- ton has enough votes in the judiciary committee to secure a favorable report on the bill as it was introduced.
 Senator Smith submitted his amend ment to the committee today and it is understood to have been presented by senator Overman to the president. Senator Overman said the committee probably would approve amendments providing that the presidents author ity under the bill shall not extend to the federal reserve board, the inter state commerce commission and a few other agencies.
 The committee, which will meet again Wednesday when it probably will be given the presidents views by Sen ator .Overman. today adopted an amendment prohibiting the president rom creating any new agency in any reorganization of departments he might undertake.

MILITARY TRIP |s
 SECRETARY BAKER's
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The safe arrival in France of Secretary Baker and his party having been formally an nounced today by the navy department press reports about his movements on the other side are being watched close ly here. Many officials think it pos sible that the story of his activities, if permitted to pass the censor, will throw interesting light upon the object of his mission to the theater of war.
 Emphasis laid by the war depart ment upon the fact that Mr. Baker $ trip was purely a military pilgrimage. without diplomatic significance has directed attention to the known desire of President Wilson to see an energetic campaign waged by the allies. With American troops holding a constantly increasing sector of the battle lines, the wishes of the Washington govern ment undoubtedly will have even great CT weight than heretofore with the al- lied chieftains. Secretary Baker will be able to learn first hand from Gen. eral Pershing the judgment of that offlcer on all that is going on in France. He will also get views founded on long continued observation, as to the French and British war machines

WAR REVIEW
 OF THE DAY
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

American initiative has asserted it. self on the Lorrain front in France. Three savage raids on the German lines have been made by the Americans who succeeded in reaching the second line of enemy trenches before being ordered to return. During their stay in Ger man-held territory they destroyed carefully built defenses and picked up much war material.
 The American artillery ably assisted the infantry in the operation. A heavy barrage fire was laid down in front of the advancing Americans and the Germans had fled before the wave of infantry reached the hostile positions. After the Americans had been in the German trenches for few minutes the German barrage fire was loosed on them, but the American guns an- swered shot for shot and silenced a number of batteries. The American artillerymen used gas shells with good effect Near Foul the American heavy guns have been in action.
 Three raids O nthe British lines have been attempted by the Germans in the Armentieres sector, but the British, in spite of d heavy fire from the enemy's heavy guns, repulsed the Teutons. Information received from German prisoners was responsible for the dis location of German plans for heavy attacks on the British southeast ol Houtholst wood. On February 20 February 2S and March attacks were forestalled on a terrific British ar tillery fire and while an enemy. attack on March was successful to some de gree, the British succeeded in re- -estab- fishing their lines.
 The British forces operating ir Palestine. have once more advanced north and northwest of Jericho. They have taken position to a depth of 300t yards over a front of F miles.
 The resignation of Leon Trotzky the Bolsheviki foreign minister is ex. plained by a report that he acted aftel quarrel with Nikolai Lenine, the pre- mier. who insisted. that the Russian people agree to the disastrous peace O Brest -Litovsk, while Trotzky pro tested against submitting without struggle
 There has been fighting on quite large scale on the Italian front
 The French have been in scattered encounters with the Germans at vari ous points along their part of the front but nowhere has there been serious fighting.
 The air squadrons have been bus, of late. The most spectacular of thes operations was made by the Teutol airmen who raided Naples, the larges i city of Italy.

FALL RIVER. Mass, March H. Most of the big cotton mills in this city which have been working day and night to fill government contracts were dark tonight as a result of the strike of the union firemen.
 A conference between mill officials and union leaders called by the state board of conciliation and arbitration failed to bring about an agreement.
 During the conference a telegram was read from Secretary of Labor Will son urging the men to return to their jobs pending arbitration of their de- mands for an eight hour day. He re- minded them of the urgent need of the product turned out by yhe mills for the troops in the trenches. The strike caused a shutdown at six of the mills today. The others made no attempts to operate tonight

NEWSPAPER OWNERS NOT BARRED, STATES
 PREMIER ID HOUSE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, March 11.-Replying in the house of commons today to J. Austen Chamberlain with reference to the relations of the government and the press, Premier Lloyd George said that Lords Rothermere and Beaver brook controlled newspapers when they became ministers; Lord North cliffe held ministerial office; the gov- ernments of all the other allied coun- tries employed Journalists and news paper proprietors. He dissented from the suggestion that such a class was disqualified.
 Lords Rothermere and Beaverbrook, he said, had relinquished their news paper direction when they assumed of flee.
 After referring to Lord Rothermere's S qualifications, the premier said that Lord Beaverbrook had organized the Canadian propaganda at the request of the Canadian government. It was acknowledged that the propaganda was perhaps the most successful work of it's kind on the allied side.
 Counteraet Propaganda MT. Lloyd George referred to the deadly effect of the enemy propaganda in Italy and Russia and the strong necessity for counteraction.
 Measures taken in this connection had not given complete satisfaction, ,, he continued, "and we, therefore, in- vited Lord Northcliffe. who was spe- cially qualified, and he consented to undertake the task without ministerial position"
 All three men, the premier said had been selected for their respective posts because the government considered them the best men for the positions Lord Rothermere before taking charge of the air board had successfully re- organized another department in the war office. Lord Beaverbrook's exper- fence as controller of Canadian propa- 1 ganda was valuable to him in his present position. Lord Northcliffe was one out of hundreds of thousand. | of business men who volunteered theil services in connection with the war.

BILL TO SELL ALL PROPERTY IF ENEMY NOW
 |S BY SENATE
President Empowered to
 Take Over Piers Which Belong to German Steam ship Companies for U. $.
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Legis- lation authorizing the sale of all enemy property in this country, re- quested by the alien property custo dian to permanently uproot German commercial influence. was approved today by the senate and added to the urgent deficiency appropriation bill. An amendment empowering the presi- dent to acquire title to the German steamship conpany's docks and wharves at Hoboken, N. J., also was accepted.
 The vote on the provision for sale of enemy property was unanimous, 64 to 0, and came after several hours scathing denunciation of German kul- tur and intrigues for world domina- tion.
 Enemy property within the meaning of the law is property owned in an enemy country and official assurances have been given that there is no in tention to interfere with the property or money of Germans or Austrians living in this country. The purpose is to sever forever the hold of Germans in Germany upon vast commercial and | industrial enterprises in the United | States which have been closely con- nected with the kaiser's government and prevent their serving as outposts of the Teutonic movement for world domination
 Gives Custodian Power | Under the trading with the enemy act the alien property custodian takes possession of and administrates these properties, but is without power to finally dispose of them. The new leg ] islation will empower him to place | them in American hands. | Virtually the only questions raised in | today's debate were the possibility of violating the treaty of 1799 between Prussia and the United States and of too nasty action by congress. Ex- pected opposition to the provision for purchase of the Hamburg American and North German Lloyd docks at Ho- boken failed to materialize.
 Prompt approval of both provisions by the house is expected as soon as the senate finally disposes of the 3D. 900, ,e00,000 urgent deficiency appropri- alton bill, to which they are added.
 Old Treaty Not Applicable
 Before the senate acted Democratic | Leader Martin presented memoran- dunn from the state departments lega. .Jaree.t 'sieoiaIii.ss that the -ssg treaty was not regarded as applicable
 What is to be done with the pro- ceeds of the sale of German interests. which some senators today suggested are owned in part by Emperor Will liam himself, is a policy to be deter mined later.
 Senator Martin said:
 Speaking for myself, and I think the American people, if the German people ever get any compensation, it will be after they have compensated the American people for the millions T would even say billions-of dollars
