SALMON RE1URIl
 ID 0[D N UHTS

CORDOVA. - Salmon returned this year for the first time, in full numbers to some of the Alaska waters which were gutted with lava and ashes by the eruption in 1912 of Mount Katmai, said to be one of the worlds greatest volcanoes.
 After the big eruption and it's attendant disturbances, salmon dis appeared from the nearby streams for several seasons. Gradually they returned. By next year, it is thought here, nearly all of the streams affected will be alive with fish again.
 At Afognak, which lies on Afog- nak Island, across Shelikoff Straits from Mount Katmai, the Bureau of Fisheries of the department of commerce has station. This year the bureau reported successful collection of salmon eggs was made at the close of the spawning season, the total amounting to close to 546S1,00
 "This catch constitutes the larg- est take of the sockeye species since the Katmai eruption and seems to indicate the complete re- covery of these waters from the disastrous effects of the eruption" reads a bureau statement.
 Fishermen arriving here from the waters near Katmai said the Indians this year were catching sal mon in streams from which they were driven six years ago by the big "smoke pot" as the volcano is known on the nearby islands.

CECIL OUTLINES HIS PLANS FOR
 PEACE LEAGUE
International Force on Land and Sea Is Not Feasible Says
 British Diplomat.
(ASsncinLed Pressl

PARIS, Jan. 15.-The Associ- ated Press says that Lord Robert Cecil, who has been assigned by the British government, to repre- rent England's ideas regarding the League of Nations, said that he be- lieved, that a League of Nations should consist of an improved asso- citation of nations, established for the purpose of providing safeguards for peace and securing better CO., operation among the nations of the earth.
 He said that the basis of such league should be an agreement among nations, by which each one binds itself to see that all warlike disputes are presented to the leagues tribunal for consideration, and to the use of force to ao- complish the object, of necessary.
 Quarrels among the nations are to remain under consideration of the league for a specific time and further time to elapse after de- cision has been reached by the league, before the contending coun- tries are allowed to fight it out Moral force to be the ultimate factor employed to prevent war.
 Lord Cecil said that he did not think the establishment of an inter- national army or navy was feasible.

j. 5. OFFICERS
 WILL ESTIMATE
 WARS RAVAGES
Actual Personal Damage Suffered In France and Belgium Is to
 Be Ascertained.
(AssociateC P"eSs)

PARIS, Jan. 1.-Two hundred officers of the United States army will probably conduct a survey to give President Wilson an estimate of the actual personal damage France and Belgium suffered dur ing the war at the hands of the Germans.
 President Wilson is planning on using this estimate when the peace conference comes to the discussion of indemnities.
 Observers believe that the actual damage done will be so great that the Allies will be more concerned with Germany's ability to pay it, than with the possibility of exact ing further indemnities and war costs
 President Wilson believes that the damages ought to be restricted to restitution, reparations al" re storations and should be extended to the financial punishment of the German people.

ALASKANS RETURNING;
 COAST MINES REOPEN

JUNEAU.-Men are already re- turning North to man the Alaska in- dustries which they left crippled when they dropped their work and hastened to the States in answer to the calls of war and war work. Officials are confident that by spring the sunshine of promise will again brighten the path of this all most manless territory.
 Here in Juneau enough men have returned to enable the Alaska Gas tineau Mining corporation to add another shift to it's big gold stamp mill at Thane, near here. For nearly year the mills have been operated but eight hours a day on account of the labor shortage. By spring the company expects to be running twenty-four hours again.
 Enough men will be here early in the year, it is believed, to re- open the Jualian mine, a property near Juneau which has not been operated since 1917. A Belgian syndicate which owns the mine has cabled that it will put full force at work within a few months.
 Towns in Southwestern Alaska hard hit by the rush southward last year, are preparing for the tide of immigration which they think will set North again in the spring.
