SENDS NOTES FROM ALASKA
Historian of Ketchikan Legion Post Writes in Answer to Letters
 of Sympathy.

"Please note following the long suffering historian of the Ketchikan post of the American Legion in Alas ka has written in answer to many let ters of sympathy from buddies back in the States:
 l. There isn't a gold miner in the post.
 2. The thermometer has never dropped lower than five below.
 g. The deepest snow in recent years was three inches.
 4. Some winters pass with practical ly no snow.
 D. Overcoats are often a nuisance in January and February.
 S. Raincoats and umbrellas are con- monly worn.
 :. No one has even worn furs or snowshoes to post meeting.
 8. "Gold-fshing" Is the principal in- dustry.
 g. No one reads by the northern lights or the midnight sun.
 The fact that people in Ketchikan ride in automobiles, and that the only dog sleds there are hot-dog sleds Is hard to get across, according to the historian.

Carrying On With the
 American Legion

The Minnesota post of the Ameri- can Legion is given credit for 43,262 good deeds to unfortunate buddies dur ing 1921.
 A surplus of S25.OOO remaining from the Kansas City convention of the American Legion may go into head quarters building.
 Of the 300 ex-soldiers enrolled as vocational students at Pittsburg, Kan., who negotiated loan, not one has failed to make full repayments.
 Ladies are present even in the north land. A unit of the American Legion auxiliary has been chartered at Wran- gell, Alaska. It will doubtless be named "The Arctic Circle"
 Compensation checks amounting to $323, 3,447.8O were obtained for 1924 ex- service men and women by the Amer ican Legion's service division, between october 10. 1921, and January IA. 1922

NEW YORK, May 16.-The Ma

rolling down from Nantucket to

Shortly after daybreak, all ar

Three White Star tugs, carrying

BY GEORGE WHITE

Copyright, 1929
BERLIN, May 16.-Another six
months and Germany will go bank
rupt. This is the view of many
Americans, Germans and others who
know the real business conditions
in Germany. Business in this coun-
try is extremely poor at present
and only the most hopeful are
making contracts with the manu-
facturers. The reason for this is
that the value of the German mark
has gone up 20 per cent.
When the mark dropped to $50
to the dollar some time ago the man
ufacturers raised their prices al
most to world market figures. When
the mark rose again to somewhere
in the neighborhood of 200 to the
dollar the price of German goods
was so high that the consumers
could not afford to buy them, es.
pecially in view Of the fact that
there are prohibitive tariffs on Ger
man made goods in most of the
former belligerent countries.
In addition to all this Germany
herself has put exorbitant taxes on
all the most desirable kinds of
goods. Many individual Americans,
who tried to profit by buying goods
at cheap prices in Germany have
been stopped at the border by Gus
toms officials who demanded that
they either pay 200 marks duty on
articles such as cameras, field
glasses and jewels or leave them
behind. Gremany, while not having
protective tariff as such has a
system of taxation which is very
effective in preventing monopolized
products from leaving the country
without having high taxes paid on
them
