YAKUTAT TROUBLE WITH THE NATIVES
 IS AT AN END NOW
The Natives Have Agreed to Let
 White Fishermen Alone and Take Price Fixed by Government

Peace has been declared between the white and native fishermen at Yakutat as result of the visit there of the U. s. s. c. BIO, according to word received at the Governors Of fee.
 Both whites and natives will con. tinue to fish at the prices offered by the LibbX McNeill and Libby cannery at Yakutat
 The trouble started about two weeks ago when the native fishermen refused to fish for the prices paid by the cannery-theS same as the gov eriment prices paid there last year. When the white fishermen refused to strike. the natives, it is alleged, threatened them with bodily harm, should they attempt to fish and took up the white fishermen's gear at the fishing banks. The cannery super intendent and the United States Con- missioner wired to the Governors office and the office of the United States Marshal and asked for assist ance. At the request of Gov Thomas Riggs, Jr., the U. s. S. c. BIO arrived at Yakutat last Sunday to attempt to adjust the affair, or if necessary, to protect the white fishermen from the natives. The message received by the Governors office today indicates that they have been successful.

Mr.. COKER ON COTTON

Clemson College, S. c., Feb 8
In his report as a member Of the
American Agricultural Commission
which visited Europe last fall to
study agricultural conditions, Mr..
David r. Coker, of Hartsville, has
the following to say concerning the
status of cotton. 1t should prove to
be interesting reading.
"Well posted experts also are con-
fident that the demand for all kinds
of textile fibcrs will exceed the sup
ply for several years. This appears
to me to be even more evident than
that there will be food scarcity after
1919. The supply of American cot
ton in Liverpool when our commits
sion sailed was about 100000 bales,
Of which only 10000 were unsold
Mill buyers were actively looking
over the market for cotton suitable
for certain purposes, and were buy
ing from one to five-bale lots wher-
ever they could find them. AS soon
as any transportation can be found
large amount of cotton should be
forwarded to Liverpool, Manchester,
and other foreign ports, not only to
be available for the immediate needs
Of the Allied countries, but to be on
hand there for export to the Central
Empires as soon as they are allowed
to handle our raw materials.
"While believe the laws of sup
ply and demand will operate to re-
store cotton and to keep it on a most
profitable basis for several years, I
think it would be advisable for the
Department of Agriculture to con-
tinue to stress the necessity for the
production in the cotton belt of ample
food stuffs Cncluding live stock) for
home consumption. i believe the
present price at which cotton is sell
ing is much too low. This opinion is
based on the belief that the war is
about to end; that there is an ac-
cumulated deficiency of textiles in
in practically every country of
the world; that the past three
crops have only been approximately
equal to the decreased spinning ca
pacity caused by the war, and that
lack Of potash and labor foreshad-
ows another short crop in 1919.
1.-The immediate future Of the cot
ton industry Of the United States
will depend very largely on the trans
portation situation throughout the
world. Nothing can be more impor-
tant than ample ocean tonnage and
moderate freight rates."

Back In tho Statea.


After arrived at Rorschach was

American flags on the walls, the first

did fine job Of sleeping that night.
I think slept twice as fast to make
up for lost time.
In the morning had regular ban

and a small glass Of wine. Even now.

breakfast Is still easy to taste, and

meal as much. But / guess I never
shall have one that goes us good.
After breakfast they took me out on
the steps Of the hall and photographed
me. after which went to the railway
station, with young mob ut my heels.
1t reminded me bit of Germany-it
was so different. Instead of bricks
and bayonet jabs, the mob gave me
cigarettes and chocolate and sand

every stop on the way there were more
presents and more cameras and more
questions. At st. Gallen they had
cards ready for me to write on, and
then they were going to send them to
anybody I wished. The station ut
Zurich was packed with people, and I
began to think was a star for sure.
Francis B. Keene, the American con-
sui general ut Zurich, and his assist
ant, were there to meet me. We
walked few blocks to his office, and

with Mr.. Keene, he took me to the

Just another German trick that no one
could explain.
One day war correspondent named
Bennett. from Chicago paper, came
to the camp and went through all the
barracks. When he came to our bar
racks I told him I was an American
and asked for the news. Instead Of
answering he began to ask all sorts
Of questions. Finally, after had told
him had been In the French service,
l asked him il ne could help me iii any
way. He answered that had only my
self to blame and that 1t served me
right II I had been In one OF the allied
armies.
did not like his looks much and he
seemed unfriendly, but when he began
smoking cigarette 1t almost drove me
crazy and I could not help asking for
one. He refused me and said should
have stayed In my own country, where
L could have had plenty Of cigarettes.
After while he threw away a ciga-
rette stub and not only but three or
four others who were near made dive
for 1t. A man named Kelley got It
a crazy man who went around trying
to eat wood and cloth and anything
he could find.
When my three weeks were up and
] had not heard from Mr.. Gerard I was
just about ready to go down to the
lake and pick out a vacant spot and
lay down In 1t. I really do not think
I could have lasted two weeks longer.
And just about that time. as I was
walking back to barracks one day, a
Frenchman showed me German
newspaper, and there in large type on
the top of the first page 1t said that
Mr.. Gerard had left the country, or
was getting ready to leave They had
to drag me the rest Of the way to the
barracks and throw snow on me before
I came to.

One Man Would Trade His Whole Ra.
tion for the Next Day for Half a Ra-
tion Today.
There We're times when some Of us
could not eat certain Of our rations.
For instance. many and many a time
1 was as hungry as anybody could be,
! and 1 wanted to eat my bread, but It
seemed as If could not get It into
my mouth. Then I would trade II with
someone else for his Shadow SOUP" or
his barley coffee.
We were dying every day In Bran
denburg and after each death the
senior men Of that barracks would de-
tall twelve Of their number to 20 out
Tor half an hour and dig the grave,
while others made little crosses. on
which they wrote or carved the mans
name, when he was captured, and his
regiment or ship. In the middle of
the cross were always the letters.
Il. i. P.-Rest in Peace.
One time we were ordered to report
to the German doctors for a serum
treatment Of some kind-to receive an
injection, in other words. There was
no choice about 1t this time, as we
were simply herded together to the
hospital barracks. Now, knew what
these thugs were like and how brutal
the German doctors were in giving an
injection, SO I wanted to be the very
first man and not have to witness the
other men getting theirs.
So 1 pushed up to the head of the
line. with the crew Of II. NJ. S. Nomad,
who had been captured in the Jutland
battle. and by the time we got to the
hospital was the very first man in line.
But the sentry threw me back and
there were several men ahead Of me.
Each Of them barred his chest and the
doctors slashed them across the breast
with very thin knife, so you can see
that 1t was very painful. When II
came to my turn they slashed me three
times I'm the shape of triangle Just to
one side of the breast. And that was

Now, | do not know what the ideo
was. Every man Of us was dizzy for
the rec: of tho day and could n IT do
anything but lay around the barr acks

think we had any blood in us to run,
