What Would 1 Do
 If It Were My Child

What would 1 do, if it were my child? That was the question put to the group of people which met at the Rex Theatre on Mon- day night to hear the Rev. Thomas Jenkins, of Portland, speak on the need of the hour in Armenia and Syria. Through those pres ent the question goes out to the whole community. Mr. Jenkins has been sent to Alaska this sum- mer to interest our people in the four hundred thousand orphan children of Armenia and Syria who, beside being parentless, are homeless. In addition to these children there are half a million of adult refugees who are home- less and foodless. All of these have to be fed by America till they can return home and make a harvest for themselves. Not till the Peace Conference has deter- mined the future of Turkey and the mandatory for America can these poor people return to what they called home. Food and clothing are as essential for the life of these folk as for Alaska. They can grow nothing till peace IS restored and conditions stabil. ized. Without our help they will die. Mr. Hoover says do what we will, POO, ,000 will die of star vation this year, but if we will help, the other 800, GOO helpless ones can be saved. If one of them belonged ome, then, would l help? Of course l would. To feed and clothe one child one day costs 17 cents (not fat existence surely;) for one month, $500; for one year, $60.00. Almost any, body could take an extra child at that price. The local committee consisting of Wm. Patterson, chairman; G. W. Upshaw, treas urer; Charles Benjamin, M. O.. Johnson, Mrs. J. w. Stedman, Mrs. John Grant and Mrs. J. H. Mason will be glad to tell you how you can help this crying need of the hour.

The enforcement of the law prohibiting aliens from owning and operating fishing boats ply ing in American waters is one of the main reasons of E. r. Walker, of the Bureau of Fisheries with head office at Juneau, for making the trip to ketchikan on the Sub- chaser 309, arriving yesterday.
 We are seeking to strictly en- force this law, which is being violated constantly" said MT, Walker last night, ''and will in- dict all offenders. They are pun ishable by fine and imprison- ment.
 Mr. Walker left this morning on Sub. chaser 294 for Wrangell and other points where he will look over the fishing situation.
 Word has come to me of the seizure of net stretching across the entire mouth of a creek near Petersburg" said MT. Walker, Tt is things like that which force us to patrol these waters so care fully"
 In speaking of the practice of jigging salmon in the creeks MT. Walker said, "The practice of jigging or hooking salmon in Ketchikan creek isno longer legal, it being prohibited by the Order of December 21, 1918.'
 He also said that no fishing was permitted within 200 yards of the mouth of the creek. Chronicle

HUNGARIANS ASK ALLIED
VIEWS AS TO ARCHDUKE

BUDAPEST, August %. (by the As
ISOLATED Press).-In order to force the
situation, meeting of representatives
Of the different Hungarian parties was
held here yesterday, at which it was
decided to request of the entente gov
attitude toward Archduke Joseph and
whether he is persona grata. While
the representations from Paris on this
point have been unequivocal, they
have been couched in diplomatic
terms. apparently affording the arch
duke and his supporters room for eva
sion.
Meantime, the Rumanian propa-
ganda continues industriously. The
unfavorable reception of overtures to-
ward joint action with Rumania is so
pronounced in Hungary that the Ru-
manian agents have taken another
tack. pointing out the. advantages of
an economic alliance carrying also
along certain lines.
The attitude of Premier Friedrich
in the present situation is another
matter giving the entente representa-
tives some concern. He is believed
to be the guiding spirit in the machi-
nations and political moves with the
Rumanians, resulting in hindering
negotiations for the establishment of
an acceptable government. There is
now some talk of directorate form
of government pending the elections,
composed, probably. of three men rep
resenting the leading political ele-
ments.
