MUNITION PLANTS MAY BE
UNDER GOVERNMENT CONTROL
International News Service.
NEW YOttk, May 4.—Considerable
uneasiness among speculators is made
evident by the tone of the large hold
ers of munition stores, and the- prices
have been fluctuating considerable
during the past few days.
Undoubtedly this is brought about
by the action of the munition manu
fuctorers, who recently offered to turn
their entire plants over to the gov- |
eminent, stating that they would sur
render control of said plants if de
sired until the termination of the
war.
TMs would place the holders of mu
nition securities in an awkward pre
dicament, should the government ac
cept. l*rom'inent hankers and
financial authorit'ies are being be
seigod here by these shareholders for
advice on the matter.
There is no precedent to guide
them, and they may eventually stam
pede by throwing their securities on
the market, and this action Is being
looked for by the sharp-shooters who
have no such fears, and will readily
snap up these stocks if offered at a
sacrifice.
WOLVES VERSUS CARIBOU
RACE FOR LIFE IS
WITNESSED
J. E. Beattie .the Tolstoi freighter,
who returned to this city recently
tells of an interesting race he wit
nessed on the trail near Jerry Baker's
roadhouse, between Dikeman and
I Tolstoi. The contestants were three
large wolves chasing a caribou that
had doubtless wandered away from
its herd, and the crafty wolves ap
parently made it their urgent business
to keep it cs separated. When Mr.
Beattfie first espied the contest they
were about a quarter of a mile from
the trail and the course, generally
speaking, was diagonally from it
across the tundra—"over the moss
the niggerheads, and inland empire,"
as a former Iditarod editor was wont
to express it. The freighter stopped
h'is string of dogs to watch the chase.
As the caribou, savagely pursued by
his relentless enemies, disappeared
beyond a swale of tundra, he gave
evidence of collapse, and after a run
of only a few rods would be the meat
of the hungry wolves.-Iditarod Pio t

WITH REHDEER HERDS
- i
During the present winter, probably
because of the almost total disap
pearance of small game, such as ptar
migan, grouse, rabbits, etc., there have
been evidences of unusual ferocity
among beasts of prey such as wolves
lynx, etc. Lynx, which heretofore
have not been plentiful in this part
of Alaska, are numerous and savage.
Driven to desperation by hunger, they
are said to be attacking and devour
ing caribou and even reindeer. A1
Walsh, who arrived in the city re
cently from the Tnnoko country, re
ports that lynx are fearlessly attack
ing the reindeer herds under the very
eyes of the herders. Twitchell and
his Lapp partners recently drove
their herds into that region, and it 'is
said that since then many of the ani
mals have been killed by lynx. The
reindeer men are now devoting a good
deal of their' time to trapping, and
are said to have captured several of
the atd'oa'x.—iditarod Pioneer.

CREW CLAIM (165,000
FOR BLOOD MONEY
Tho heaviest loss of life at sea in a
single naval engagement since the
war began was that in the sea of
Murmora on May JU, 1916, when the
Turkish transport Gul Uamel was tor
pedoed by a British submarine and
sunk with the loss of 6,200 lives.
I'artlculurs of the sinking were given
only a few days ago in the prize court.
Of the incident, the London Times of
February 19 says:
“The Gul Gamal was fcimerly the
British ship, Ottawa, and before that,
the Germania. She was bought by
the Turkish government some time
before the war and converted into a
transport. At the time of the sinking
she was carrying 6,000 Turkish troops
from Oalata to Gallipoli, together
with a field battery of six 75 nun
Krupp guns.
"The story was told in the prize
court owing to the application of the
crew of the K-14 for the prize bounty
of five pounds a head which the Brit
ish law allows to men of war who
sink enemy warships. The amount
claimed in this is 31,000 pounds.
Council for the K-14 In introducing
the case said:
“‘This is a large sum, but a soldier
Is worth hundreds of pounds, and
prize bounty at 6 pounds a head for
sinking 6,000 of them is small incori
purlson. We contend that the trans
port was an armed ship within the
meaning of the prize bounty act. She
was a permanent constituent of the
Turkish navy. As early as 1908 It
was the practice to arm permanently
some of the Turkish troopships.
“ ‘In this particular case, the Gul
Gamal had aboard field artillery as
well as men armed with rifles, and she
was therefore a verty formidable op
ponent to a submarine,' ”
