NEUTRALITY ZONES IN
GERMAN-RUSSO WAR

WASHINGTON, D. C. = The Pres
ident doesn't intend to issue a neu-
trality proclamation on the Russian
German war, Sumner Welles, I'M
dersecretary of state. announced to-
day.
Thus, American ships will be per-
mitted to carry arms to Russia S
Pacific port of Yladiyostok from the
United States. And the United
States by this aetion-or lack of
action-takes the same position
with reference to the Russian-Ger-
man war it has maintained during
the long undeclared war between
Japan and China.
Asked what effect this will have
regarding the transport of arms to
Russia on American ships, Welles
explained that combat zones already
have been established by the Presi-
dent and they don't include the Pa
cific region of Vladivostok. This will
remain open to American ships car
rying arms and other supplies.

Fish patrol, like other modern ac-

plane and radio has eliminated dis
tances; made every cove and inlet
in Southeast Alaska an open book.

BOUNDARY CUSTOMS
OFFICER SHOOTS
INVADING BEARS

Reused by the frantic barking of
his thoroughbred bear dog, Trtxie,
Jeff Rees, Canadian Customs officer
stationed at the boundary above
Wrangell on the stikine River,
rushed to the window of his home
to find the place surrounded by
bears.
From out of a trail back of his
house walked a huge grizzly moth
er bear and three cubs, two young
sters and one yearling. Rees, who
doesn't care for such intimate com
pany with big grizzlies, got his gun
but found he had only four shells.
He drew careful aim on the cubs,
killing the two younger ones and
injuring the yearling which ran
back into the brush, and then shot
the mother, telling but only injur-
ing her. Like the good old Marines,
the Hazel B 2, river boat of the
Darlington Transportation Company
just then hove into sight and tied
up at the scene. And a pathetic
scene, for bear-lovers, it was. The
mother bear lay, injured and IN
able to move, with a dead cub in
each arm. Rees borrowed shells from
one of the crew of the river boat
and quickly put an end to the moth
er's suffering.
Evidence of the size of the moth
er grizzly can be youched for by
the crew of the Hazel B. 1t was all
four husky river-boat men could do
to drag the big carcass down to the
river where, with the two cubs, it
was consigned to a watery grave.
"All credit goes to my dog, Trix-
ie," Rees said. Those bears have
been bothering around quite a while
and if Trixie hadn't of warned me,
might have walked out ON them
and become their football. She's a
great dog"

U. S. WILL TRY TO PREVENT
JAPAN ADVOCATING
1911 FUR SEAL TREATY

WASHINGTON. D. c. - Officials
of the fisheries division of the fish
and wildlife service told the house
appropriations committee at a
hearing on the second deficiency ap-
preparation bill that the state de-
partment plans to try to prevent
Japan from abrogating the fur seal
treaty of 1911 by presenting evil
dence that the seal don't eat food
fish
Japan's reason for breaking the
treaty is that the seal herds destroy
food fish in japanese waters.
Ward Bower, chief of the division
of Alaska fisheries, said the bureau
needed $4,000 to purchase and
outfit a vessel to follow the migrat-
ing seals and prove its contention
that the seals which follow the Am
erican coast from the waters off
California to the Pribilofs are not
the same seals which are found off
Japan.
Bower said that Japan had given
notice of abrogation of the treaty
last October %, effective october %
this year.

LONDON, June 27-Great Brt-
tain was reported last night to
have sent a military mission speed
ing to Moscow via the middle east
and at the same time was said to
be planning to ask the Soviet union
to pledge itself not to conclude a
separate peace with Germany be
fore the end of the war as Russia
aid in the spring of 1918.
The military mission was under
stood to represent the Army, Navy
and Air force and was reported en-
route to sit in with the Soviet high
command to discuss details of Bri-
fish help in beating Germany.
Z. S. Ambassador Winant has
been comforting here with both Bri-
fish and Russian officials. presum-
ably on the question of American
aid for the Soviet union. Russia was
known to want for one thing an
even harder bombing of the Ger
man western front by British planes,
an undertaking involving American
aid indirectly. since the flow of
American planes here permits the
British to take greater risk in their
new mass attacks.

State Senator Dewey A. Dye,

in order to facilitate the proceed

all local legislation be advertised
80 days before introduction in
the legislature, and that he will
insist therefore that all proposed
local bills be in his hands at least
30 days before the legislature
conveneS, in order that he may
be fully advised and may get the
views of the affected public be-
fore he leaves for Tallahassee.
1t is expected that similar ac-

from other districts which will
remove much of the confusion,
lack of information, uncertainty
and injustice that usually at

COMPLAINS OF
BEING ARRESTED

A complaint on Key West police
action in arresting visitors to the
city for improper parking has
reached S. c. Singleton, secretary
of the chamber of commerce.
Douglas Rose of Philadelphia,
who made the complaint, said he
had parked his car in front of a
police officer and returned a
short time later to find a summons
for illegal parking.
Rose, in his letter, said;
we could not help but feel like
unwelcome strangers and imme-
diately cancelled our plans for
several days fishing among the
keys and returned to Miami. OF
course we did not disregard the
parking summons. We reported
to the police captain on duty at
the police station, where we were
courteously received and posted ST
, bond.
There is no doubt your police
department is following instruc-
tons and we do not censor the Of
ficer for performing his duty, but
the question arises whether the
interest of the business COM
munity is served by such prac-
tice.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. B.
(WNS)-The density of retail
outlets in Key West in relation to
its population is greater than for
the State of Florida. less than for
Monroe County, and greater than
for the United States as a whole.
According to the latest census
figures, Key West, with pop

ported 222 retail stores Of all

tants. For the country as whole
there is one store for every 70 in

has one for every So inhabitants,
while Florida has a retail outlet
for every sc inhabitants.
These facts are significant since
the number of retail facilities in
a trade area in relationship to its
population is a deciding factor in
guiding prospective new enter
priseS to a city.
That a community is able to
support proportionately more
stores than the national average,
would seem to indicate that its
rating as a consumer market is
high.
