MARSHAL LPETAIN TO
PAYU. S. TWO VISITS

PARIS, April 15.-Traveling in
cognito, as a civilian, Marshal Petain,
commander-in-chief of the French
armies in France, will tour the
United States with a party of friends,
according to plans divulged last night
The marshal will first pay a visit
to the United States to thank Amer
leans and the Red Cross for what
they did for France during the war.
He will then pay a visit to the
"chiefs of the American army who
have co-operated in winning the
war"
These obligations fulfilled, the mar
shall will return to France and later
again go to the United States for q
tour as a civilian.
The marshal has just completed an
inspection of the American position.
He declared they were marvellous"
He got the impression, he said, that
the Americans understood perfectly
how to conduct a modern war.
Their procedure was not known
to u.s. he said, but the extent and
magnitude OF their work was a sur
prise to US, and we must profit from
what we have seen. Everywhere we
went we found the personnel always
busy. / never saw a man who was
not working. Everything that was
done by the United States was worthy
of what we had expected from it,"

HAS KILLED z MEN

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, April 15.-Ursula F.
Broderick, aged thirteen, who killed
her own father two years ago, shot
and killed Joseph woodlock, her step
father.

an alleged attack on her by Wood
lock, according to the story she told
the police.
She killed Thomas Broderick. aged
hfty-one, afer he had beaten his wife
and Ursula. The child claimed her
father had dragged Mrs. Broderick by
the hair and was ready to strike her
with a sledge hammer when she stole
a revolver from his pocket and killed
him.
Ursula was awakened this morning
by her stepfather, who stood by the
couch on which she was sleeping, she
told the police. Her mother had left
the room and she was alone with
Woodlock, she said. The man placed
his hand over her mouth and warned
her not to scream. She told Of being
carried to another part OF the room
and Of a struggle with her stepfather.
She shot him with q revolver she had
concealed in the folds Of her night
clothing, the girl said. The revolver
was purchased a week ago when, Ur-
sula says, she intended killing herself
through fear Of her stepfAther.

Alaska Craft Number
 Over a Thousand

For the first time in the history of the Alaska Customs district the number of vessels documented in Alaska has passed the 1000 mark. The close of the fiscal year, June 30 found LOIS vessels of all sizes and classes registered with home ports in Alaska. For some years Alaska has been near the 1000 mark in the number of vessels registered, but never quite reached it.
 The average size for vessels in Alaska is not large on account of the great number of small craft engaged in the fisheries. The to- tai tonnage of the LOIS vessels which homeport in this Territory is 79,5S4, an average of a little over 78 tons each.
 In addition to this vast regis tered mosquito fleet there are hundreds of craft that are below 15 tons in size, and therefore do not require registering.

 Coast Is Reported

Never before have so many fish been seen on the west coast of Prince of Wales island as this year, according to Gus Gillis, of the National Grocery company, and N, w. Dennis, of the John Bollman Tobacco company.
 "At Waterfall" said MT. Gillis, we were informed by the fisher men that they were not getting 10 per cent of the run. They were coming in there so thick it would be impossible to handle them. At Port Baker we saw them in schools like herring, so thick that the water was black. It surely is good year for the men on the West Coast. "- Chronicle.
