 workers, threatened tomorrow. was believed here tonight to have been averted by an agreement reached after an all day conference by which representatives of the shipping
 board ana the navy department agreed to permit acceptance by the men of wage increases offered by the sbipysrds on the western coast, provided the government would share no part of the additional ex- pense.
 Representatives of the workers here were confident that tom walk out, which involved the possibility of g strike also by workers of the industry on the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. woult be averted. It was asserted, however by some of those attending the confer ence that the Pacific coast companies might find themselves unable to pay the increased wage scale. amounting te an average of about s cents an houl for practically ali employees, without aid from the government, and refuse to grant the increase promised.
 Secretary Daniels and Chairman Payne of the shipping board, both ol whom attended the conference, declared emphatically that the government would not share in the payment of any wage advances.

KENNAMER CARRIES DEKALB

Ft Payne, September 3U.--ChafIeH Kennamer, republican nominee for con- gress, has carried DeKalb county by approximately 100 over Capt. l.. E. Rainey, the democratic nominee.
 Voting was light and slow all over the county. an air of apathy and indif- ference seeming to peryade the politicah atmosphere everywhere. DeKalb's ma jority for the republican candidate was a reversal of a precedent of over 2s years standing, having consistently given the late congressman substantial majorities. Leaders here do not credit the result as due to antagonism to tho league of nations or peace treaty.

TWO MEN KILL TWELVE WOLVES ON BIG CHENA
 IN GULCH NEAR CAMP
The Band Had Downed Two Moose and Were Busy with the Car casses When the Hunt
 CTS Arrived.
Fairbanks Citizen)

Joe Chesna, an oldtime prospector and miner of the Big Cinema, arrived in town Sunday for load of sup plies. Yesterday he narrated how he with his partner, Andy Batolla, recently killed twelve wolves in a small gulch near their camp.
 The attention of the men was at tracted by snarling and yelping nois- es coming from the gulch. Think ing that some of their neighbors dog teams had run away they went to investigate and found instead of dog team large number of big wolves The band had cornered two moose and had downed them and were devouring the carcasses. The animals were fighting among them selves over the spells and that was what attracted the attention of the men.
 Hastily putting the guns into ac- ton they succeeded in killing quite number before the band broke and ran. The next morning the men again visited the scene and found nothing but the bones of the moose left, the wholves having returned in the night for their prey.
 Joe estimates that there must have been at least a hundred of the ray enous animals in the pack, which is an unusual. thing as scarcely over three to five wolves have ever been noticed together in that section at one time. Three belts were brought to town being a source of good reve- nue as there is bounty of $15~ on each animal slain and the price of a good pelt is worth considerably more. The average length of the animals was about seven feet from tip to tip.

JAPANESE COMMENT IN THE PRESS UPON
 PEACE CONFERENCE
One Prominent Paper Says That the Military of Japan Causes Distrust Among the
 Allies.

TOKYO, March 4.-Marquis Saionji Japanese envoy to the Peace Con ference in Paris, left Tokio for the French capital on January II. His departure evoked interesting sugges- tions from the leading newspapers as to Japan's attitude in Far Eastern affairs.
 The. Kokumin asserts that it will be the task of Marquis Saionji to maintain the principle of the Orient for the Orientals," and reminds it's readers that he bears on his shoul ders the destiny of the Japanese em. pire. The paper adds that this policy aecords with the principles of lib erty and equality enunciated by Pres ident Wilson as the basis of a world s peace"
 The Asahi, perhaps the leading Jap. anese newspaper, with simultaneous editions in Tokio and Osaka, lays stress upon the assertion of the prin- ciple of racial equality and declares that by upholding this policy the Marquis would be in accord with President Wilson's ideas of justice and humanity. At the same time the Ashia remarks that the trend of world affairs demand an absolutely open-door policy in all international relations and therefore in China It says that Japan's advocacy of the removal of racial barriers will not be sufficiently convincing unless she openly pledges herself to abandon her militaristic diplomacy which so often has been the subject of mis. conception and suspicious among the powers

SHOPS AND THINGS

THE pioneer college woman who
a rode down all objections anc
plunged into the merchandising worlt
via the department store a decade OF
so ago, instead of following in well
trod paths, where tradition led the way
was long ago vindicated by comparl-
son Of salary checks, experiences anc
opportunities.
Now comes more tangible express
sion on the part of the public, as well
as of the merchant. No more need the
salesgirl consider herself as one aloo1
from the "intellec tuals"; no more need
one apologize to ones college mates
when headed for the inside instead OF
the outside of the bargain counter
Salesmanship has been put on par
with other "larnin 1T SIS found its
way to the centres of education, and
we are to have course in it right in
our own schools md universities.
The sponsor for the new order OF
things is to be New York Univer-
sity, which, with the cooperation OF
the Board of Education and the Retail
Dry Goods Merchants Association OF
this city, will undertake to provide
teachers of salesmanship for practical
courses of instruction in salesmanship
in the high schools.
Just Mt present the store men and
the representatives Of educational in
stitutions are comforting constantly as
to the curriculum-for it is the mer-
chant, we are told, who will be largely
responsible for the shaping of the new
course of study, and who is giving il
the benelt of his practical experience
in these early stages.
1t may be the remarkable success OF
several trained persons in some New
York shops who came to the store with
a background and have turned that
background into dollars and cents
which has induced representative store
managers and owners to 20 into this
new plan and agree to pay all under
writing expenses of the course or it
may be because of decision on their
part that continuation schools would be
of more value in an institution of
learning than in the actual organiza-
tion of the store itself
But the organized salesmanship class
is here, and sixteen New York depart.
ment stores have undertaken to pay the
