Indians Fear Another Flood
 * When Sea Lions Walk on Dry Land

MT. Stabler. however. was more in clined to side with those theorists who held that the lions were lured from the sea by music as the kla wock Native Band was indulging in a burst of ''jazz" at the time of their appearance.
 Mir Stabler made the trip to Kla- wock to investigate reports received by U. s. Attorney Shoup that food fish were being destroyed in that vicinity. He found, according to a report made by him. that these re- ports were unfounded. Some friction was found to exist there over the operations of white fisherman talk ing herring from the bay for bait for sale to halibut fishermen. The situa- tion. he reported. was cleared up be- fore he left.
 He was accompanied on the trip by Supt Charles w Hawkesworth and Captain George Maud of the Bu- reau of Fisheries, going on the gas boat Murre. The party went as far as Craig and returned here last Mon day. @

CHURCH DRIVE BEING PLANNED
 FOR STARVING
Christmas Appeal Made to Churches in the United
 States for Money.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-1n behalf of the starving children of Russia, the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America will issue a Christmas and New Years appeal to the churches, to the Sunday schools and to the Christian homes of the United States. It will ask for money to help save 5,000,000 children from starving
 The message will go direct to 125,- 900 congregations, to the entire re- ligious press and through them be presented to constituency of 5O,- 100000 persons.
 Because of what the churches have done in the past for the children of Belgium and Central Europe. for de- vastated France, for China sufferers and the Armenians, generous re, sponse is expected in spite of the many appeals that are already before the churches.
 The call for funds is being issued at the request of Herbert Hoover, who declares the need to be impera- tive. President Harding has given his emphatic approval to the plan. ,
 The relief made available by these funds will be distributed through the American Relief Administration and the American Friends Service Com mittee, which are in closest co-opera- tion. The distribution will be under the supervision of a representative of the Federal Council on Herbert Hoover's staff in Russia. Though it had not been the intention of the Federal Council officials to ask for funds at this time, reports of famine conditions in Russia show such an appalling need that it was absolutely imperative to go ahead with the ap- peal at once.
 To handle the situation the Com mission on International Justice and Goodwill of the Federal Council has appointed a special committee on Mercy and Relief. Dr. John H. Fin ley is chairman; Dr. Sidney l.. Gu lick is secretary; Hon. Carl F. Mil liken, formerly Governor of Maine. is treasurer. Headquarters will be maintained at the offices of the Fed. eral Council of the Churches of Christ in America, 105 East Twenty second Street, New York City.
 The efforts to raise funds will not be organized as drive. It will con. sist of straight appeal to the churches to arouse their people to the urgent needs of the children of Russia.

The appearance of three sea lions in the streets os the Indian village at Klawock was the cause of much consternation and alarm on the part of the population. according to As sistant U. s. Attorney Howard D. Stabler, who has just returned from trip to that vicinity. The story of the visit of the sea lions to Kla- wock was given recently in a tele- graphic dispatch appearing in The Empire.
 MT. Stabler, who arrived there after the occurrence. said that genuine un- easiness was felt by some of the In dians. Indian tradition. he said, tells of how inhabitants of the sea. just prior to the great flood which Noah successfully navigated, emerged from their watery haunts and disportei themselves on dry land. The appear ance of the three sea lions. was in- terpreted by some of the Indians to mean that the earth was in for an other wet spell' or some similar catastrophe.

It is believed that the Hungarian government will pay most of the bills and the members of the Little En- tente, to whose existence the sup pression of monarchial adventures is essential, may bear part of the burden. The annual expense at Ma deira probably will be provided through a pension, wholly or partly paid by Hungary In this the Little Entente may also have a share.
