MetIakatIa Seiner Passed by SubmersibIe in
 Clarence Strait
PLYING IN NORMAL
 STEAMER CHANNELS
Underseas Graft Submerg- es Abreast of Indians
 Fishing Boat

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Sept. 22.-Everett Hudson, Metlakat- la Indian fisherman, arrived in Ketchikan today and said he had sighted an unidentified submarine in Clarence Strait near dusk, Tuesday night.
 The sub was on the surface and proceeding rapidly south, Hudson said, so the vessel had presumably been in Alaska waters.
 Hudsen's seine boat, also pro- ceeding s0uthward, was near Windy Point, on Prince of Wales Island when he sighted the sub drawing up abreast, about three quarters of a mile distant.
 When it came abreast, it gradually went under the sur face, with only the coming tower visible, and then only the perisc0pe.
 Hudson said he had six power field glasss which he trained on the sub, and said the other men on the boat with him all saw the submersible.
 The submarine was in the middle of Clarence Strait, be- tween Gravina and Prince of Wales Island, roughly two miles north of Punch Hill radio beam station on Gravina.
 It was sighted only about Is miles by airline from Ketchik- kan, and probably 50 miles north of the Canadian-A Alas kan boundary.
 Practically all coastwise ship ping uses T0ngass NarrOws on the opposite side of Gravina Island entering Clarence Strait, several miles north of where the sub was sighted.
 This undoubtedly is the re- port referred to by President Roosevelt as no other boat has so far reported sighting 2 sub.

 THE GREATEST fertilization in the world is the 20O-mile French Maginot line.
 Second greatest is the German Siegfried line (also called Lines line or West WalD.
 The two walls are roughly i2 miles apart as they follow the Franco-German land border from the Rhine to Luxembourg. Along the Rhine, the lines are close 0 the waters edge.
 This oss-section drawing, by H. c. Detje, AP staff artist, is based on the best available infor- nation about the Maginot line.
 Says the National Geographic Society:
 Tn the subterranean barracks of the French Qualifications hun dreds of thousands of men may live for several months. Adapted to the terrain of the country, these buried chambers and galleries con- tain power stations, control posts, storerooms. elevators, narrow gauge railways, hospitals, and living quar- ters equipped with hunks, food sup plies, radios, kitchens and even amusement facilities
 Besides terrifically powerful ground attack defenses, both French and German lines have aircraft guns capable of spray ing the air with wall of shell fragments more than half a mile deep.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22. President Roosevelt, this forenoon disclosed that . submarine, which he saio has not been identified, has been sighted off the coast of Al aska and hat submarines have also been sighted off the north Atlantic coast.
 The Maritime Commission at Boston substantiates the presence of the undersea craft on the North Atlantic.
 President Roosevelt told the newsmen that he has been informed of the presence of two undersea craft, not Am erican, in the North Allan tic. He said they have been sighted by ships at sea.
 OFF ALASKA COAST
 President Roosevelt de- clined to disclose the specific source of the Governments information about the pres- ence of a submarine off the Alaska Coast but that s0urc- es he said that were perfect Iy reliable, asserted a sub- marine was in the Pacific, off the southern boundary of AL aska where the Territory joins the Canadian territory.
 Regarding the submarines on the North Atlantic, the President said in the area from 50 to 70 miles from the southern tip of Nova Scotia to the Nantucket Shoals, the submarines had been sighted.

KETCHIKAN. Alaska, Sept. 22.-The officials of the Coast Guard in Ketchikan decline to make any comment, but two cutters are known to have made short trips toward Met lakatla yesterday which are not otherwise explained.
 The assumption is that Met lakatla Indians sighted what is believed to have been sub marine three days ago about 20 miles or so from Ketchi- kan.
 The rum0r here is that the submarine was in American waters, only a few miles from the boundary and apparently reported by only one boat crew.

old scourse from attacking the fu-
ture millions in years to come.
Those who find 1t possible are
invited to take part In the Leonard
Wood Memorial that the world may
thus be told that Americans keep
alive in their hearts good will to

BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

To those Of us who had the Joy
of going chestnut hunting In the
cool, crisp. frosty days and can
still recall the musical patter Of the
ripe fruit dropping from the opened
velvet lined burs, the fate that took
so many of our wonderful native
chestnuts Is indeed something we
remember with deep sorrow.
The American chestnut tree was
not easily forgotten when once seen.
It had = range from Southern Maine
throughout the Northern States to
the foothills of the Appalachian
Mountains. From here it travelled
West as far as Southern Michigan
and through Indiana to Northern
Mississippi. Along this entire route
many fine specimens grew. Where
the chestnut flourished most was on
the well-drained slopes In Western
North Carolina and the Eastern part
Of Tennessee.
1t was not unusual to md trees
q hundred feet high with . trunk
feet in diameter. The ascending
and horizontal branches formed .
broad pyramidal crown. In the
autumn the heavily laden branches
gave gladstone promise Of joyous
nutting days ahead.
The Indians of central New York,
we'll acquainted with the fruit from
the tree. called 1t "o-heh-yah-tah"
as descriptive Of It's sticky bur.
The Latin name describes the tooth
like edges of the leaves.
The chestnut was 4 late bloomer,
and the male catkins, tan colored
Evening star., 1939-10-09

prickly burs Of deep green could
be seen, and their growth was rapid
after this time.
Chestnut trees could always stage
4 comeback after q hre or from the
stump. as they also reproduce from
sprouts rs we'll as seeds. The blight,
fungous growth imported from
Asia, was finally recognized In 1904,
when the trees Of New York were
affected. From that time the death
Of our chestnuts was rapid, and In
4 short period these glorious trees
were sad and pitiful ghosts Of their
former selves. Nothing could be
done to save them, for 1t would have
been impossible to restrain the
blight because of its form Of attack.
Much study and great strides have
been made toward the growing Of
American chestnuts,
and perhaps some day the younger
generation may have the pleasure
Of seeing these grand trees.

Prof. johnson was one OF the
speakers at the session of North
west Scientific associations 10th
annual meeting.
The professor reviewed the his
tory Of the law. and told how Re-
publicans by the tens of thousands
came into the Democratic guberna-
torial primary in 1895. He cited
that Democratic candidates for
governor got 402, 500 votes. while
Republican candidates received
only 100, 49s votes.
Prof. johnson said the results
in 1886 were satisfactory to con-
servatives of the state.
But" the professor added,
suppose some radical Repub-
leans, Democrats and others
should combine and nominate
n candidate, as Gov. Clarence
ID. Martin was nominated In
1886. My guess is that the
blanket primary would lose
many of its friends and quite
likely its llfe."
Prof. Johnson emphasized, how
ever, that the law was in its in
fancy, and that nothing but tenta-
tive conclusions should be drawn
at present.
