WHAT'S THE ANSWER

The present regulations governing the sale of game, imposed last year by the secre- tary of agriculture, whatever their purpose may be, do not really effect anything but waste of meat i'll as much as they apply to the section of Alaska lying north of latitude o2 degrees. Ii intended for the conservation of the wild game, they certainly fall short of their object and while allowing the killing of game by hunters fix it so that the meat can- not be disposed of which, unless weather conditions are favorable, means that meat killed between August 1, and August lo will spoil before 1t can be used.~
 Secretary Houston last year issued the following regulation:
 "The sale, directly or indirectly, of moo meat in Alaska between latitude @ degree and the Arctic Circle, between December Z and August l9, both dates inclusive, is here by prohibited, and no moose meat shall be pro cured for serving and served in any boarding house, cannery, eating house, hotel, mess house or restaurant by the proprietor thereof or his agent in Alaska between latitude @ degrees and the Arctic Circle between Decem- Der 25 and August 19, both dates inclusive"
 From the Canadian border to the west ern outlet of Lake Clarke, across Cook Inlet to the westward of Seward, all that portion of Alaska lying south of latitude @ degrees and between longitudes Al degrees and 155 degrees is even more seriously affected I'm that section the sale of moose caribou, moull- tain sheep or mountain goat meat is prohibited at all times. Nor can this meat be served at any eating place in the affected district at any time.
 These regulations were issued under au- thority bestowed on the secretary of agrcul- ture by the amendment of 1908 to the Alaska game law of June Z 1902. They can be re- voked by the secretary without action by con- gross and if the matter is put up to the de- partment in its true light it is probable that they would be cancelled.
 It is not clear just what purpose was in mind when they were issued. The law allows moose to be killed after-August each year in this section But the regulation now in force compels persons killing such animals to hold them until August 20 before they can be generally used for food. Warm weather generally prevailing at that season of the year makes it mpracticabe to keep the meat for any length of time unless storage facili- ties are at hand and as a consequence the

duplicated in any southern center where the negro population is large since serious re- suits would surely follow.
 The south has for years been working out its negro problem It is very real and the best minds of that section have done so and are still studying ways of giving the negro every possible liberty and at the same time preserve the integrity and racial purity of the white race. The increasing prosperity of the southern negro attests the success of their labor. It would be real calamity if their work should, be undone by friction caused by the race riots now being experienced in the north.

WHY FRANCE WANTS A TREATY.

Under the provisions of the special treaty which President Wilson "Wednesday presented to the senate and which by royal assent has become law in England, both the United States and England are pledged to come to the aid of France in case of ul- provoked assault upon the latter by Germany. The President promised the French govern ment he would submit it to congress and recommend its approval.
 If one wishes to be hostile to the League of Nations, the French desire for such a treaty can be interpreted as showing a pro- found cynicism on their part toward the real usefulness of the covenant; but such con- tention overooks several vital facts. The creation of a special understanding of this type is not in any way substitute for the operation of the League, nor does 1t invall- date the procedure which is to be set up under the latter France knows by bitter experience that when Germany strikes she strikes quick ly. The action of the League will be necessa- rily fairly complicated, and complications mean delay. Tho an assault of the type specified in the proposed treaty would with out question bring about action thru the League, France hopes under this special en- actment to "short circuit the process and thus prevent her territories from being over run.
 To us at this distance it may seem as tho Germany's present state is sufficient guar antee against any such danger as France fears, but the French mind is incurably real istic. they remember their own amazing re- covery after 1870, and with the horror Of the past four years still fresh in their ears and eyes they are determined to leave no stone unturned in guarding against repe- tition of the catastrophe. The worst Pan- German has always admitted that if the kaiser had known England and the United States would have come in there would have been no war. France asks the assurance which will, she feels, be in itself a guarantee that the force it promises will never be needed.
 The objections raised by the opposition senators that such treaty will be an aban- donment of our traditional policy toward Europe present an argument for refusing the arrangement. Our policy of non-interference in European affairs was abandoned in 1917 and today we are tardily attempting to recog- nize the facts of situation which has ex- isted for years; that anything which vitally affects the peace of the eastern hemisphere is sure to involve the western world and we must meet the responsibilities which our po- sition entails.
 It is apparent that the proposed treaty will receive careful consideration from the senate. Its opponents are undoubtedly nu- merous and among some of their arguments there will surely be some of not inconsdera- ble weight. If they contend, however, that this document shows the cynical attitude of Europe toward the League of Nations, and offer that as an argument for keeping the United States out of the League, they will be guilty of gross perversion of the facts
 The treaty provides for nothing that is not specified in the covenant oi the I,eague of Nations. It merely assures France of quicker action should the need ever arise

BANKER TELLS
 OF TRIP OVER
 LINE TO MINE
R. WOOD PRAISES RESULTS OF WORK DONE ON NENANA DlVI. SION OF RAILROAD - BURNS MINE SHOWING UP IN FINE SHAPE COAL. EXCELLENT.

There isn't better piece of road work anywhere than has been done on the line of the Alaskan railroad south from Nenana." said R. c. Wood, president of the First National bank. yesterday. in speaking of q trip which he made out over the line during Il recent visit to Nenana. "Steamshovels and the dragline scraper are being used ill obtaining gravel for the bal lasting and the roadbed is all up and graveled and in the very best of shape" continued MT. Wood.
 There is no sign of wasted material anywhere along the line he saw. ac been cleaned up and the right of way is as free from rubbish and loose ends of material as it cnn possibly be. The trip thru the Nenana val ley is well worth taking, he stated and it would pay anyone visiting Ne mana to make it.
 When we made it. the day was bright with sunshine. The valley stretched away like green carpet presenting wonderful sight This section will prove a veritablc Mecca for tourists in the near future" said Mir. Wood.
 The party making the trip con sisted of MT. Wood, Territorial Mine Inspector Rob't Sommers, Divisional Road Commissioner R. r.. Sheldon. Dr. and Mrs. Bowen, Mrs. Ruth Will son, Mrs. F. D. Browne, Supcrintend ent Packer, and k. F. Burns. IL was arranged thru the kindness of Mr Packer and Mrs. Browne.
 Arriving at the Nenana river. where the railway bridge is still out. all of the party except Mrs. Browne and Supt. Parker crossed the river in a polling boat and went on to the Burns coal mine. This part of the journey was made on a handcar and all of the men took turns at helping he section men pump it along. "WC started off like ap express train, but soon slow ed down." said Mir. Wood.
 Arriving at the mine MT. Burns took charge of the party and showed them thru the works. "Much work has been done there." said Mir. Wood "They have gone down 800 feet and have it all stopped out. MT. Burns is at present working on an eight-foot vein but is prospecting 16-foot vein which is nearby. The coal is of a very good grade and would probably make excellent fuel for mining pur- poses. MT. Wood stated that he hop ed that it would be possible to have a couple of barge loads shipped up here this fall for experimental use by the mining operators, and if adapt able, by next summer it would be ob tainable in any quantity desired
 Superintendent Packer assured me that trains between Nenana and Fair banks will be in operation before the first of next year." said Mir. Wood, "and Mrs. Browne declared that she was coming to Fairbanks on train next Christmas cve," he continued. The party enjoyed every minute of their trip, according to MT. Wood and count it one of the most pleasant days of its visit to Nenana

 This is matter which might we'll be talk en up with Delegate Grigsby by local organi- cations. The longer the regulation is allowed to stand unprotected the more difficult it will be to ever get 1t revoked.

WILSON SEEKS TO ELIM.
 MATE SECRET FACTS
His Statement Created Sensation at Peace Conference; Japan Is
 Affected Also.

Paris, April 24.-President Wilson's emphatic declaration that he will not yield on the Adriatic question has created the most profound sensation in the peace conference. He has thrown down the gauntlet to the SUD- pOrters of secret treaties in manner which almost took away the breath of the delegates who have been urg- ing compromises on points covered by many secret documents and at va riance with the presidents IA points.
 President Wilson's sweeping decla- ration, while aimed directly at the Adriatic problems, also reaches the Kiau Chau controversy in which Ja- pan relies on secret agreements made with Great Britian, France and Italy in 1917, to support her in her claim
 ) the concessions held by Germany .n Shantung.
 The peace delegates generally re- gard President Wilson's statement as challenge which once for all will dis pose of the question whether secret documents, of which many nations par ticipating in the war were ignorant, are to figure in the peace following an an armistice in which all the allies pledged gave no regard to secretaries.

Interesting reports come from Hor- atio, 30 miles north of here concern ing the strawberry shipments and the money being paid for them. It is sai1 the Horatio strawberry growers ex- pect to ship 50 cars of the fruit by ex- press to northern markets. The ber- ries are selling at ST to $S for A. quart crate, which is some money. There should be $500 profit per acre at that price. One car was shipped by express Saturday that brought $3,97O.
 Berries are scarce in Little River county, in fact there are none to be had Several acres were planted to strawberries here several years ago, but there was not enough acreage in this section to get carload shipments, and at present there seems to be none on the local market.
