WOMEN WORKERS CHEER FIELD MARSHAL HAIC

LONDON, Jan. 2 (Correspondence of the Associated Press) .-Indepen. dence won by women during the war is not going to be relinquished in a hurry, say the newspapers in com menting on the manner in which thou sands of London women, lining the streets during the reception to Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, com mander of the British armies in France, cheered him to the echo.
 "They were vitally changed from the women who used to be carefully escorted to pre-war pageants in the London streets" observes one paper. Tt was evident that these women had earned the right to cheer. Ge1teel futterings of scrappy handkerchiefs Is no longer good enough for the women who have worked and waited through the gray days of sorrow, when war heroes come home"
 The crowds needed no urging to make way for women in uniform. They soon found line places, and were among the most insistent in calling for Field Marshal Haig while the of- ficial party was lunching in Bucking- ham palace with the king. High and shrill rang their voices, We want Haig! We want Haig!" and when that failed to bring the commander

MUSK OXEN
 TOBEDRIVEN ]. FROM ARCTIC

Jack Underwood, who is now an attache of the Washington bureau of the Seattle Times, writes as follows to his paper from the national cap- ital:
 For the purpose of adding to the food resources of the United States, half dozen "cattle punchers" will be sent to the most northern confines of the American continent next sum- mer to lasso number of musk oxen, which will be transported to their for mer habitat on Seward peninsula and on the vast stretch of country that lies between the Yukon and Kus- kokwim rivers and the Arctic ocean.
 Plans for the expedition are now being arranged jointly by tho depart ment of the interior and the depart ment of agriculture. It is believed that the musk oxen can be domesti- cated just as has been the reindeer, and that, like the American reindeer, the musk OK will in few years be- come a factor in the affairs of the meat-packing companies.
 ''The matter was brought to the at- tention of the departments by Gov ernor Riggs of Alaska and Jafet Lin deberg of the Pioneer Mining Com pany, who owns a large reindeer herd on Seward peninsula. Governor Riggs states that there are more than 3OO,- 900 musk oxen on Melville island and many other large herds in the region lying along the shores of the Arctic ocean. Congress will be asked to make small appropriation to outfit the expedition.
 stefansson Says It's Good
 "The musk oxen, according to Vil- hjalmur Stefansson and other explor- CTS, furnishes considerable meat. The animal dresses at 600 pounds, and as it is slow-moving, it's muscles do not become hardened, and it makes a bet ter quality of meat than most of the beef sold in the United States. It furnishes about three times as much wool as an ordinary sheep, and the wool is of better grade and without grease. It is not aggressive, but de- fends itself vigorously against preda- tory animals.
 For this reason it is believed the musk oxen will give greater protec- 'tion to the reindeer of Seward benin I 'sIla against wolves. In the far North l the caribou and musk oxen herd to- gether for mutual protection against predatory animals. There is no con- f1ict of interests between them, as the reindeer or caribou eats moss and the bovine lives on grass. When Be- ring, Cook, Vancouver and other navi- l gators first visited the shores of { Alaska, enormous herds of musk oxen grazed as far south as the Kusko- kWim river, but the whalers and fur traders who visited the territory fur -nished the natives with rifles, and these herds met the same fate as the buffalo of the American plains.
 By 1860 they were completely wiped out, only those which grazed In the regions beyond the ice barrier remaining, and it is these herds which will be drawn upon to start the new Alaska cattle ranches. There are two methors of taking the musk oxen alive. The first is the lasso and the second to shoot the mother and drag the skin to the camp. The calves will follow the trail and are easily cap-
