 CORRAL I5 BEING
 FILLED RAPIDLY

Housewives, nrechanicss storekeeps CTS and others in Juneau who had old aluminium around their homes or places of business are rapidly of- fering it for the construction of defense materials, a glance at the big wire pen built by the city for this weeks aluminium drive showed today.
 Already the wire corral is about a third full. Heavy additions to the pile of defense metal were expected this afternoon, when Boy Scouts, canvassipg the entire city. are slated to bring in their offerings.
 The aluminium pen will be kept in position until the middle of next week, Dr. w. M. Whitehead, chair man of the drive, sponsored by. the Rotary Club. announced today. By that time.

RECKLESS DRIVERS ON
 HIGHWAY FACE ARREST;
 RALST0N GIVES WARNING

The Glacier Highway, T h e Highway and the Douglas Highway are to be made safe and reckless drivers are to be arrested.
 This IS the 1lnal warning and emShatically announced today by Territorial Highway Patrolman Dan Ralston.
 The traffic regulations have been issued but many important saie- driving points are not clearly de- fined. but as Patrolman Ralston SAWS common courtesy of the road should and must be observed
 Drunken driving, is of course under the ban, and offenders Will be shown no mercy. says Ralston, and he will be backed up by proper courts.
 Among some of the salient reg ulations to be enforced are the foi- lowing:
 The maximum speed on the high way. except where the road IS loss than IS feet, will be not over AS miles an hour, but speed must be maintained only on stretches where visibility is plainly discern ible and when car may be stopped in a reasonable" distance.
 Going around curves, speed must mt he over 20 or 25 miles and drivers must keep on the right side of the road. Ralston says this IS one of the most fragrant violations, the keeping on the right hand sloe. Some drivers hug the left or keep in the middle of the road. Violators are going to be brought up with a quick jerk on this violation.
 When car is passing another, the horn must be blown and the car that passes another must not turn to the right of the road until safely beyond the car passe d Drivers, before passing another car, must be basolutely certain no on- coming car will prevent passing safely.
 Hand signals must be observed. Ralston says there is not one in 20 drivers who give signals so he warns drivers to brush up on signals and do it now.
 Drivers must observe dimming of lights and no fooling. The regula- tions specifically state that lights shall be used during the per iod from one hour after sunset to one half hour before sunrise, and when cars are meeting or the high ways, headlights must be dimmed and not be allowed to glare and blind the driver Of the oncoming car. o. 4s .-, -ss--..- e-,~
 Tail lights must be inspected to see they are serviceable
 Parking of cars on the highwty is prohibited. There are turnouts for this purpose.
 Patrolman Rslston says further pertinent explanation of regula- tions will be announced from time to time, probably speed limits. on certain sections of the highway, for instance on the Fritz Cove drive which is narrow with soft shoulders in some places. Ralston is going to recommend to the Highway Control Board that maximum speed of 20 miles be placed on the Fritz Cove section. This drive is becom- ing popular because of its scenic attractions and the number of per manent and summer homes. Fritz Cove has more homes on the two mile section than any other part of the Highway. There are some dan gerous curves where the speed limit should be cut to the minimum for safety sake.
 Incidentally, drivers in the Jun eau area are again warned they must obtain a Territorial Opera tors license by ugust Is.

NO "DUMpING" OF HEAVY PINK RUN
 FROM FISH TRAPS

No traps in the Icy Strait district are dumping" their heavy catches of pink salmon, Clarence Olson, Fishery Management Supervisor of the Fish and Wildlife Service, said today.
 Since the unexpected heavy run of pink salmon hit the Icy Strait district, canners have been trying to handle catches of seine fishermen ahead of trap fish, Olson explained. In doing this, he pointed out, it has been necessary in some instances to close traps and leave them un- brailed.

not only to impress the British and
perhaps ourselves, but also to Sug-
gest to Yosuke Matsuoka, Japan's
foreign minister, that Germany is a
strong and vigorous sea power whose
favor Japan will do we'll to court.
The Germans may hope to draw
some of our naval strength from the
Pacific to the Atlantic, thus further
impressing Japan.
They may hope to draw off British
warships from the South Atlantic,
enabling raiders in those parts to
operate more freely and to enable
German merchant ships in South
American ports to get to sea either
to refuel the raiders or to gain more
friendly shelter. They may wish to
discourage the growing American
sentiment for convoy by American
warships in the North Atlantic.
Any or all these considerations may
have moved them to the decision to
send out the Scharnhorst and the
Gneisenau; but none of these seems
to be quite sufficient to justify the
risk of losing two 26,OOO-ton battle
ships and coupe of thousand
highly trained officers and seamen.
Risks Are Considerable.
A great deal may depend, in view
of all the foregoing considerations,
on the success of the British in find
ing these raiders and bringing them
to action with superior forces. The

| the battle of transportation, and
the battle OF combat. I pointed out
that with American participation, the
Germans were certain to lose the
battle of production in the long run,
that they would, therefore, attempt
first of all to win the battle of trans
portation, and if they gained a par
tlal or complete success, they would
then try to overwhelm the island of
Great Britain by combat; further,
that their initial efforts in the bat
tie Of transportation would be greatly
intensified combined submarine and
air attacks on British shipping,
bombing attacks on the western
ports which alone are now open for
ocean conveys, and the appearance
on the sea lanes of powerful surface
units of the German fleet-a COM
bined, well-planned, vigorous effort
to cut Great Britain off from Ameri-
can and Empire support.
All of these factors have now ap-
peared. German U-boats, aided by
long-range aircraft, are stepping up
the British losses in tonnage over
the winters weekly averages. Heavy
attacks have been made in success
sion on Glasgow, Liverpool, Bristol
and Plymouth. Now we have word
that two German battleShipS, the
Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, are
operating against the North Allan
tic sea lanes, while previously we
had word of heavy cruiser of the
Hipper class being in Brest after
attacking a convey off Madeira.
Cold -Blooded About Ships.
We may, therefore, assume that
the first phase of the battle of trans
portation is now in full swing The
appearance of the battleships is par
ticularly significant. The Germans,
a people whose military thinking is
dominated by land rather than mar
itime considerations, are quite cold
blooded about risking ships. They
do not have the seaman's hesitations
which checked the British, for eX-
ample, in the naval attacks on the
Dardanelles in March, 1915. A war
ship is simply a national asset to
be used in such manner as the ma
tlonal interest may require. They
did not hesitate to throw away great
quantities of naval tonnage in order
to emplace themselves in Norway
They will not hesitate to throw
away the rest of their surface fleet
in order to cut the sea communica-
tions of Great Britain for sufficient
period of time to enable their other
measures to have a chance of sue
cess.

Raiders Open New Phase in War at Sea
Maj Eliot Believes Germans Are Determined
Now on Showdown in Bottle of Transportation

But with all that, they recognize
that battleship or battle cruiser
is an expensive and valuable unit
which cannot quickly be replaced.
They have held their heavy ships in
reserve against just such a time of
need as the present. They know
full we'll that their surface feet
would have no chance in a straight
out fight with the British home fleet.
Their surface vessels can be of use
to them only in raiding British con-
voyS and then only temporarily;
only until they are caught. Neither
the Scharnhorst nor the Gneisenau
could stand up against any of the
five British capital ships which can
catch them-the King George v,
Prince of Wales, Hood, Renown
and Repulse.
When the German battleships put
to sea, every officer and man aboard
them must have known the sort of
risk he was taking, and the excellent
chances that he would never return.
Even if one raiding voyage be tenn
porarily completed, the same risks
must be faced on the next, and no
warship can remain indefinitely at
sea.
May Be Time for Showdown.
Hence the very fact that the Ger
mans have now decided to risk their
irreplaceable capital ships for gains
which, while they may be great,
can be but temporary, suggests most
strongly that the German high COM
mand has decided that the time has
come to push the battle of transpor-
tation to a showdown. 1t suggests
that they may mean to follow up
initial successes with still further
raids by yet other ships-they have
two 35,000-ton battleships, two of
the So-called pocket battleships, a
few cruisers and at least one if not
two new and heavily armed aircraft
carriers-until so much damage has
been done as to seriously weaken
the British power and perhaps, they
may hope, the British will to resist.
Then may follow, if these successes
are sufficient, the battle of combat
the stepping up of the air effort fol-
lowed by invasion attempts.
Yet there are certain other fac
tors which ought also to be weighed
before arriving at any hard and fast
conclusions. The moral effect of
these German raids may be intended

FORT GEORGE G.. MEADE, Md,
March 22.-Army construction corps
officials said today that more than
500 workmen employed here had
registered complaints against two
labor unions which an official esti-
mated had collected "conServatively"
100000 in initiation dues as pre-
requisite to employment.
The Workmen have been engaged
IN erecting barracks and other build
ingS here for an influx of soldiers
expected to reach nearly 10000.
Several hundred complaints-most
of them carrying the phrase why
must we pay union dues before we
can work for Uncle Sam?"-were
written, the Army officials said and
many more were given verbally to
the officers and to construction COM
pany representatives,
1t was explained that Fort Meade
construction work is closed shop.
that the camp drew most of its labor
from men who drifted in and asked
for work, then were required to join
a union.
Facts Speak for Themselves"
Brig. Gen. Brehon P. Somervell,
chief of the construction division of
the Army's QuartermaSter Corps,
said in Washington "the facts speak
for themselves" 1t was emphasized
that the Army has no direct involve
ment in the matter, however, since
1t is an affair between private con-
tractors and the unions.
A spokesman for J. M. Busby,
president of the District Council,
Hod Carriers and Common Laborers'
International Union, said in Balti-
m that no such sum" as the S400,-
900 mentioned by Army officers has
been collected by this union" He
said he could make no statement
on the amount or what would be-
come of money collected by his
union.
officials of Local 1O1, United
oAOgllCL ALOON VI SdI DCIlUtlS dIlu
Joiners, an American Federation of
Labor affiliate, could not be reached
in Baltimore for comment. but Nell
son Ford, financial secretary, was
quoted as saying that Army Off
cials had exaggerated the situa-
ton.
Figure Held Too High.
In theory, Army construction
quartermasters' officers said, the
locals of the two unions supplied
employes-the carpenters union
supplying about 200 of its regular
members, but at peak construction
more than 5000 were at work.
One State official in Baltimore
confirmed the Army declaration
about dues collections, but said that
while the union take" was high, the
S400,000 figure probably was consid-
erably overestimated.
The camp now is about 90 per
cent completed. 1t is being built by
private contract, principal part of
which was awarded by the War
Department to the Consolidated En-
gineering Co. of Baltimore.

moral effects hoped for by the Ger
mans would recoil upon themselves
If the two raiders, or even one of
them, were to be promptly found
and destroyed by British warships.
The risks of this are considerable,
for the ships are operating in waters
where the British have many small
craft which can at least report the
presence of the raiders; they must
eventually return to port through
waters patrolled by British aircraft,
and even such injury as a single
bomb or torpedo hit might produce
would be likely to be fatal in the
end, reducing the speed and sea-
worthiness of the raider and rem
dering her easier prey to her
enemies.
On the other hand, the high speed
of the two ships and the vast area
of ocean in which they are operating
makes the British twin problem of
search and of bringing to action
with superior forces one which pre-
sents many difficulties.
Yet it is a problem which ought
to be solved if possible: for quite
aside from the moral effect in vari-
GUS parts of the world the quick de-
struction of these raiders would tend
to convince the German high COM
mand that the battle of transporta-
ton cannot be won by such methods,
and that their remaining heavy
ships had best be held back for some
other form of activity.
1t is probable that at the moment
the British Navy has no more i'm
portant task, or one more far-reach-
ing in its possible consequences, than
the tracking and sinking of these
two German battleships.
