Capt. w. y. Torrey of Detroit, a
member Of the 355th Infantry of the
w lid Cat Division. returned with Il

wounds suffered at Stenay. where. he
said, almost half of the advance pia-
toon OF his company was wiped out
before the Germans were dislodged
Capt. w. G.. Smith of Washington
DC, who was in command of the naval
land battery men returning on the
Henderson, said that his battery had
fired 236 shells on the western front.

were fired at a 10000 yard range. and
observers reported, he said. that the
shells had wrought much havoc. His
battery lost but one killed and three
wounded.

WAR HURT GOLD PRODUCTION
Committee Makes Recommends
tons to Stimulate OUTPUT.

Decrease in gold production in the
United States is giving some concern
to the Interior Department.
It is said that the mountains and
valleys of California and other west
ern states are stored with the prec-
ious metal, but the cost of producing
it is so great as to discourage pro-
duction.
A special committee appointed b.
Secretary Lane to report on tho
causes for the decline in the output
of gold reported that the war had
seriously injured the enterprise. Tho
committee recommended the elimlns-
ton of the excess profits tax on gold
mining as one of the means of stimu-
lating production

THE FISHERIES HEARING.
Alaska should be we'll represented at

<AldSAC UC WCA ICHICSCACCu NC ,4,' fisheries hearing which is scheduled to
 >,,l :-. tb,uJt!o OF t,ovenibcr 20. For years the North has been altogether too complais- ant about these hearings, trusting to the bureau of fisheries to protect the interests of the territory from serious inroads on the fishing resources of the various Alaska waters and streams
 The result can readily be seen in the decreasing packs. Not only is the catch of the local fishermen, in ever section, light Ter but even the canneries cannot take out the fish they secured in former years with even less improved methods. Why can't they do it? The answer is plain enough; there are fewer fish to be had as the result of their indiscriminate operations which to a large extent has prevented the fish from reaching the spawning grounds.
 Advices from Seattle say that the An dreafsky canneries experienced good sea- son. We can say from knowledge of the facts that few fishermen above that can- nery caught anything like the usual amount of salmon during the past season. Such matters as these should be brot out at the hearings in Seattle; it might induce the bureau of fisheries to prohibit fishing in spawning streams until some means of arti- fcial propagation has been provided to perpetuate our fishing industry.

ADEQUATE PAY NEEDED.

MT. Hoover's statement that there is danger of radicalism of the worst type Originating from centers of higher educa- tion is only one of many reasons why the present salaries of educators should be in creased. It is we'll known that the teach ing profession is one of the poorest paid in America.
 The years of preparation required to fit an individual far it, the money expended nm such preparation, make tie returns on the investment so inadequate that the wonder is that it has not broken down years ago thru lack of entrants. It con- tains but little inducement at present for Iany ambitious person.
 Posters displayed in college yard ''back East" show figures of professor and motorman, bearing the inscription:
 "A motorman gets 60 cents on hour, a professor IS. Which is worth more, gen. tlemen, minding the train or training the mind9"
 One doesn't have to search his mem ory long to recall the time when not only motormen, but other trained workmen, re- ceived even less than IS cents an hour. Or ganization increased their wages to its present figure. Unless the nation shows disposition to pay for value received, it may be necessary for the educators to profit by the example of other crafts and trades and organize themselves in an aggressive campaign for more than starvation salaries.

CZERNlN PREDICTED ACCURATELY THE DOWNFALL OF GERMANY AND
 AUSTRIA IN LETTER TO EMPEROR

BERLN-(Associated Press Cor respondence)-Count Ottokar von Chudenitz Czernin, formerly Austrian foreign minister. is shown as a prophet who foreshadowed coming events and the collapse of the Gen. tral powers with almost uncanny cor rectness in his now famous letter to the Emperor Charles, written early in April, 1917. in which he urged that monarch to make peace at all haz- ards or suffer the loss of your throne.''
 Parts of the text of Count Czern- in's historic missive have been pub lished but the complete text, as pre- sented to the assembly at Weimar by Finance Minister Erzberger, has now appeared for the first time in the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, the official German organ.
 It shows among other things, that Czernin, alone of all Austrian states men prophesied the entrance, two years before, of Rumania into the war on the side of the allies and pre- dicted "almost the day of it's out break" The letter also said the count expected" immediate French, British and Italian offensives and his forecast was borne out by what hap pened. Within a fortnight after the note to the ruler had been drafted, on April 16, 1917, the French began the great SOissons-R Rheims drive" along a 25-mile front, and the Brit ish had started the battle of Arras on a front extending to Lens. The Italians, a few weeks later, plunged across the Isonzo in the Carso sec tor for a distance of 97 miles, crush ing the Austrians in their mad rush.

No REASON FUR
 CLUB ACTIVITY

We can see no necessity for ask ing government assistance for pas sengers aboard the steamers strand ed on the upper Yukon river," stated President J. A. Mcintosh. of the local Commercial Club yesterday, con- menting on a message which the To- cal body had just received from the Nenanan Commercial organization We known where the boats are the passengers are safe and in good quarters; they are near good towns and in messages received here today from a number of persons aboard the steamer Yukon near Circle, there has not been the slightest intimation that any help is necessary" he continued
 The message received from Nenana reads as follows: We have wired Governor Riggs: 'Meager informa- ton possessed here of predicament of boats enroute to Dawson frozen indi- cates urgent necessity organized re- lief. We believe territorial funds should be available if federal assist ance cannot be had Urge you do the same"
 After consultation with the mem- bers of the executive board of the local Commercial club. President Nc Intosh. last night. telegraphed the Nenana organization giving it full in- formation regarding the location of all boats on the upper river and stating that 1t was not considered

MIGRATORY BIRD
 LAW PUBLISHED
NEW REGULATIONS MAKE IT H. LEGAL TO OFFER SUCH
 BIRDS FOR SALE.

Every man his own duck hunter should be the title of very pleasant little memorandum which The Citi- '' office yesterday received from the flee Of the Governor of Alaska. It con-
 'ns the information that wild ducks ,eese, swans and other birds coming ,ndeH the migratory bird treaty act passed by congress last year cannot
 'yally sold in Alaska at any time Eot only that but it is unlawful to even offered to purchase such birds.
 The memorandum to which refer nee is made follows in full:
 As there seems to be misunder- standing regarding the laws affecting migratory birds, the following in for nation is given to the public:
 The migratory bird treaty act pass ed by congress and approved July 3rd. '91S is the only act now in effect gov erning the killing of migratory birds. So much of the act as affects Alaska is as follows:
 Migratory birds include the follow ng: wild ducks, geese, swans, cranes, curlews, snipes and yellow legs.
 ,,iigratory birds may be killed with ! gun, not larger than a number ten gauge, and fired from the shoulder. They may be taken during the open season from the land or water with a blind or floating devise with the aid of dog and the use of decoys. They can not be taken with the aid or from q power boat, sail boat or an floating devise lowed by power boat or sail boat.
 The open season in Alaska is from September 1st to December 18th, both lates inclusive.

BEING MADE TO SPEED
 UP PRODUCTION

LONDON,-P)-Confronted by what is described as perhaps the greatest industrial and trade crisis in the history of the country, the commercial leaders of Great Britain are bending every effort to speed up production. says the American cham Der of commerce in London One movement undertaken to head off the difficulties foreseen is an effort to in duce the workers to increase pro duction by showing them the dan gerously critical position" in which Great Britain is now placed by the balance of trade against her.
 For July, the adverse balance of trade amounted to about $3SO, ,OOO, ,OOO, accoring to figures given out by the American chamber. Imports for that month increased about $15O,OOO,OOO while exports increased only about $3,5OO,OOO
 The American chamber points out that this discloses a serious situa- tion and says that, while it may seem very well for Great Britain to buy from America much more than she sells to America, that is q fools paradise" for Americans
 The chamber explains that an ex- cessive adverse balance against Great Britain would force down sterling exchange on New York and compel Great Britain to buy elsewhere, where exchange is higher.
 The only way out of this," con- tinues the statement, of the Ameri- can chamber, "is for America to in vest in British securities and to buy generously of British materials and goods. that can be used to advantage. This would give Great Britain the wherewithal to pay for her imports from the United States until she builds up her exports to pay for them. If this is not done it is obvious that the United States ex- ports to Great Britain must drop off,"
 To induce increased production, employers are endeavoring to show their employees the need of an ex- pansion in exports which are charact- erized as the life blood of British trade"
 At the same time, the American chamber says, the government itself is being severely criticized because of national extravaganza. Tn Times is running daily column headed "The Road to Ruin" under which the huge outlay of government funds is analysed and given publicity.

A PUBLIC DEMAND.

The proposal made Thursday to the industrial conference by MT. Bernard Ba- ruch as representative for the public that an industrial truce be declared for three months is one that should originate with the public. In these days of high prices it is the people generally who bear the brunt of strikes, and who in the end pay all of the costs. The employers certainly don t and the unions, comprising only small fraction of the public, can bear only small part of it.
 As long as strikes and threats of them fill the country with discord it is next to impossible to adopt any general policy of amelioration. It takes too much time to look after individual cases which in them~ selves create so much friction between the principals that no agency can bring them together by any method short of force, the use of which is abhorrent to the American people.
 There should be no great difficulty in arranging for such truce until definite policy is determined. Several branches of organized labor have endorsed the scheme, which was first suggested several weeks ago by President Wilson who, however, specified truce for six instead of three months. New York labor recently signi- fled its approval as did Glen Plumb, gen. tral counsel for the railway brotherhoods. It is also understood that President Comp CTS, of the American Federation of Labor, has tacitly approved of the plan. Capital would undoubtedly welcome such truce since it has nothing to lose by it and every thing to gain.
 The proposed truce would be only a preliminary to a readjustment of indus trial relations. Such readjustment must come. It is impossible for them to contin- ue in their present state. Herbert Hoover, just returned from Europe, in his speech at San Francisco yesterday, emphasized this fact, and he undoubtedly bases his statements on his observations, not in one

In view of the reverses to the armies of the Central powers and on the eve of America's entry into the war, Czernin urged the emperor to make another detailed peace pro- posal and not be afraid to make great, even heavy, sacrifices" Rus sia, he thot had lost it's offensive power but the eagle of the west, he feared, might prove stronger ad- versary than the -prostrate bear.
 "In Germany great hope is laid in the submarine warfare" he wrote. "I hold this attitude is deceptive. l do not for an instant deny the fabulous results of the German heroes of the sea. 1 admit admiringly that the monthly total of sunken tons is some- thing akin to fable, but l go on rec ord as declaring that the result ex- pected and predicted by the Ger mans will not follow" It must be remembered at this time that Ger man U-boats were at the height of their depredations on the sea On October 2S. 1918, the German ad- miralty admitted the failure of the submarine warfare by recalling all the tigers of the deep" to kiel and Wilhelmshaven.
 T hope that the thot, unfortunately incorrect, that England could be con- pelled within few months to make peace, will lose ground in Berlin,' wrote Count Czernin. Nothing is more dangerous than to believe those things one wants to believe. nothing is more fatal than not wanting to see the principle of truth, and to succumb to utopian illusions from which sooner or later there must come fearful awakening."
