MONEY MARKET
 WILD IN FRANCE

The Tank greenback is rapidly be- coming extremely popular with Euro- pean art collectors.
 In The Home Sector, the ex-soIdters' weekly, Ralph Armstrong writing of money market casualties, says: Spec u1ation in foreign exchange, blamed by officials of the various govern ments for part of the depreciation, has become wild and frenzied. The Bourse in Paris is alive with money dealers, who, with specUlatorS in other cities of Europe. are juggling prices and values. Business concerns which depend upon foreign materials are being driven toward panic. A dispatch from Paris says these con cerns are unable to fix prices from one hour to another. even in the smallest transactions.
 tsThe demand for American dollars is so great that if a person in France had a draft on New York bank and sent it to the Bourse, specu1ators would boost the exchange rate to o'b- tain it. This affects the whole market
 "In Germany speeulators are buy ing goods and property as if at a bankrupt sale. Already they have bought factor1eSs stores and real eS- tate to the value of one billion marks. Much of the capital is said to be English and Japanese, though America and other nations favored by exchange values are represented
 "In America some of the wilder spectators have become tanned to some extent through heavy losses To date, fluctuations in European money have been doWnwad with few recov- cries. In general, anyone buying the American dollar has won; anyone selling it has lost foreign exchange experts in American banks say that few persons are buying European money except to send to relatives abroad

MAY ASK
 FOR WAGE INCREASES

Tro11eymen employed by the Con necticut Company plan action to ob- tain an increase in the present wage scale and before June, when the agreement now in effect expires, it is expected by the union leaders that some new arrangement will be made with the company. Many of the troll Ieymen believe that their new wage should be 75 cents an hour. The one man cars may also be an object for. complaint
 A peculiar situation exists in the "AmaIgamated'' association, the union body of which Connecticut Company troI1eymen are members. The men on the night shift usually have the most grievances. but inasmuch as they meet in the daytime, while the day employees, who are far more numer- ous, gather in the evenings, actions approved by the night men are often vetoed by the day workers.

NO IMMEDIATE
 DISCUSSION OF
 FRENCH ACTION
Anglo French Situation Still Regarded As
 Critical.

London, April 12-DiscaSston of re- 1ations between Great Britain and France in the House of Commons is not probable for some days at least although anxiety is felt by many members of parliament which reas- sembles today after the Easter re- cess. There is a desire in some po- 1itica1 quarters to bring the situation before the full House but as the scheduled program of business has allocat ted parliamentary time for Sev- eral days, debate cannot be brought about unless those desiring it can carry a motion to suspend the order of business on a plea of urgency.
 Andrew >Bonar Law, government leader in the House, has been depu- tized by Premier Lloyd George, who has gone to San Remo, Italy, to make official statements during the latter's absence, but members are de- cIared to have expressed little conf dence they will hear more thsp they already know.
 Although the situation has eased somewhat it is stiu regarded as deli cate, and government supporters who approved the cabinets attitude rela- tive to the advance of the French troops east of the Rhine, do not de- sire discussion They hold interna- tios1al interests are best served by all lowing events to proceed calmly to settlement by diplomatic routes

Regular Habits Produce a Beautiful ( Complexion Daily elimination rids the system of poisons.
 Women should realize that!

R FANY women complain MI daily of their complexion,
 of their headaches and gen eral ill health, little realizing that the trouble is constipation. Women, too, are much more sub ject to such congestion than men, and much more careless of it. The result is seen in lusterIess, weary eyes, in sallow, pimpIy complexion, in lassitude, bad breath, and in that word so often used, indisposed." ;"
 At the first sign of these symp- toms the wise woman will take a laxative, and will see that the young girl and others in her care do likewise. Dr. CaldBen's Syrup Pepsin is the favorite with thou sands of women because it is mild and gentle in it's action and in the end trains the stomach and bowel muscles to do their work naturally without the aid of medicine.
 This combination of simple lax ative herbs with pepsin, which can be bought at any drug store, is also a very sterling frst-aid in colds, fev9s and other sudden ills

WHO IS JACK MBRIDE

]. C. Mcbride, candidate for Ma tional committeeman from Alaska, is one of the best known Alaskans in the southern section. MT. Mcbride has been for years the head of one of the largest stores in Juneau, handling ev elything but groceries and gents and ladies furnishings. Never has man, during the past 9 years, gone into the great establishment managed by Mcbride, made a request for goods, and been turned down, no matter whether he asked for credit or had the money. Mir. Mcbride never lost an ac- count, he sized his men up properly, extended credit and in due time was renumerated. It is such business men like J. c. Mcbride who has built Ju- neau. Scores of fishermen especially hs re gone to Mcbride asked for gear, etc., and without cent, obtained what they needed. They always found friend in Mcbride and as before men, toned he made friends and was nev- CT wrong in his judgement.

SUNDAY SERMON

In the series of sermons on the par ables of Jesus, Rev. Duane Earl Cart CT took for the basis of his discourse, last evening the parables of the mus tard seed and the leaven recorded in the thirteenth chapter of Matthew. These parables are preceded by the parable of the wheat anG the tares.
 "Jesus saw in his time, as we may sec even today" said Rev. Carter, "the good and the bad growing side by side in the same community. He re- presents the workers for good by wheat, and the workers of evil by tar es. In those times, as today, those striving for the betterment of the community felt so annoyed by the persistent efforts of the evil ones that they were prone to root them out of the community. But the Master said no; go on with your good work, the spirit of revenge developed in your heart in roofing out the evil by force will endanger, if not utterly destroy some of the good. Save tho wheat and the tares will eventually get what is coming to them"

AS the company owns property con servatively estimated at S4OOOO at Halibut Cove and other points, con sisting of buildings, docks, dories, gas boats, scows and other equipment, can readily be seen, even to the most pessimistic, that the much-abused creditors of the Kachemak Canning company will be paid, and paid in full.
 Representing the company, l make this public statement. Under the cif- cumstances of an especially stringent money market and no sale for fish have done absolutely the very best that could l have no regrets for my apparent failure, which was no fault of my own. The creditors have all been advised of my intentions and for the benefit of my political opponents, will state that these same creditors are perfectly satisfied.
 My enemies are perfectly welcome to any satisfaction they are able to de- rive from these facts: 1 further will welcome the continuation of the un- just and unfair campaign along the same line of chicanery they have pre- viously resorted to. The underhanded methods so far pursued have not only proven futile, but are reacting as a boomerang.
 My advice is for them to go to it and spill the beans. l am going to carry Anchorage, and, moreover, will be elected national committeeman re- pardless of their efforts to corrupt public opinion.
 I have done the best 1 could and have no regrets to offer. Perhaps l have made mistakes in the fishing business. Perhaps I have used the wrong fish bait and have come to realize that am not fisherman and hereafter will "cut bait" in the polit- ical game, ever looking to the best in- terests of Anchorage and this vicinity. In the meantime the creditors of the Kachemak Canning company well know they will bo raid in full. .~ CHARLES E. HEBRON.
