IMMEDIATELY
BARKIS SUCCESSFUL
In Obtaining a Most Coveted
Permit From Metlakatla
Cannery.
Mr. Lopp, commissioner of edu
cation for the natives in Alaska,
and Superintendent Beattie, togeth
er with Mr. P. E. Hands, the lessee
of the cannery at Metlakatla and
Mr- Teal, the future foreman of
that cannery, returned from that
town last Saturday evening after
having completed all the necessary
arrangements for the leasing^ and
operation of that cannery.
Mr. Lopp will probably, return to
Seattle while Mr- Beattie may make
a trip to the West coast before re
turning to Juneau, his headquarters
Mr. Harris, accompanied by his
foreman with a crew of men are
supposed to start repair work on
the wharf and cannery today.
In connection with the leasing of
that cannery, a report comes from
Washington that. the question of a
salmon cannery on Annette Island,
and the fishing privileges to go
with it, in which the Thlinket Pack
ing company, the Frank C- Barnes
company, the Star-Collinson Pack
ing company, A. C- Burkhart and
others are interested, has been the
subject of much controversy with
the departments of interior, com
merce and war.
The secretary of the interior pro
poses to grant a lease for a can
nery to P. E. Harris of Seattle, the
purpose, it was explained, being to
assist the Metlakatla Indians to sup
port themselves by fishing and
working in the cannery- With this
permit it was desired also to re
serve the waters within 3000 feet
of the shore lines of Annette, Ham,
Walker, Lewis, Spire and Hemlcok
Islands, permits to be granted for
fishing in the same
Secretary Redfield of the depart
ment of commerce has protested
against the granting of exclusive
fishing privileges and claims full
jurisdiction over these waters- Then
came along the war department,
announcing that it has jurisdiction
over any fishtraps set in navigable
waters
Out of this mixed situation has
come much conferring- in which
members of the Oregon delegation
in congress have sometimes par
ticipated- Their position is in op
position to exclusive fishing grants.
It is expected the departments will
harmonize their differences in or
der to grant a lease that will aid
the Indians and yet not partake of
a monopolistic permit to any one
Interest
WHAT WON’T THEY DO?
American women soldiers will
wear trousers as part of their uni
form if they follow the example set
by the 200 members of the Ameri
can Women’s League for Self-De
fense. These women have been at
tending weekly drills here through
out the winter, says a report from
New York.
The style of uniform came up
for vote last night and was the
cause of animated discussion in
which Mrs. J. Hungerford Millbank.
head of the organization, asserted
that the suits worn by the women
need not necessarily be uniform.
She objected to trousers on the
ground that such a uniform would
be opposed by husbands.
Others denounced dresses as a
"curse and burden,” to women' and
advised the women soldiers to get
rid of them. “When your husbands
go to the front," said one speaker,
“you will have to guard *your home
against marauders. It will be man’s
work and you cannot do it in dress
es."
CONSIDER PART OF
NOTE ULTIMATUM
GERMANY MUST BECOME GOOD
OR WAR WILL BE
DECLARED
The text of the recent note to
Germany by President Wilson that
is eausing grave apprehension for
the immediate future peace of both
countries, has been received, and
while the Progressive-Miner would
like to publish it in its entirety, its
voluminousness prohibits it- How
ever, after the President has point
ed out the barbarous warfare car
ried on by the submarines with the
sanction of the German govern
ment, the United States protests
that were disregarded despite re
peated assurances that neutral ships
would be spared uncilvilized war
fare continued; the President con
cludes as follows:
“If it is still the purpose of
the imperial government to pro
secute relentless and indiscrim
inate warfare against vessels of
all commerce by the use of sub
marines, without regard to what
the government of the United
States must consider the sacred
and indisputable rules of inter
national law and the universally
recognized dictates of humanity,
the government of the United
States is at last forced to the
conclusion that there is but one
course it can pursue. Unless
the imperial government should
bow immediately declare and ef
fect an abandonment of its pres
ent methods of submarine war
fare against passenger and
freight carrying vessels, the
government of the United States
can Ifave no choice but to sever
diplomatic relations with the
German empire altogether- This
action the government of the
United Stales contemplates with
the greatest reluctance, but feels
constrained to take in behalf
of humanity and the rights of
neutral nations-”

THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE’S
WAR FILMS AT THE GRAND
Last night the Grand was packed
to see these wonderful pictures,
which showed the process of war
From the war office to the grave
The tremendous guns used in this
war are fully shown in these pic
tures, for the reason that the Chi

permission granted to any one to
see their workings, Mr- Edwin Wigle

ing allowed to accompany the
troops to the front in France, Italy.
Russia and Galecia, the permission
coming direct from the Kaiser, and
the Austrian government- Mr.
Weigel accompanied the troops
right into the firing line and risk
ed his life to obtain these films,
is can be seen by the soliders fall
ing in close proximity to the cam
era- The fearful explosions of the
mammoth 30 centermeter guns has
been brought up to a close view of
the ordinances, as the war lens, or
telephoto lens especially made to
take these pictures was used- None
ihould miss these pictures for this
will be the only opportunity to see
them, as Mr- Fox, the well known
theatrical man went to Chicago to
secure them for Alaska, paying a
big price for this territory. He
travels with these films and lectures
in the various scenes which greatly
adds to their interest
Tonight they will again be pro
duced, and none should miss see
ing them for the reason war Is
thoroughly exposed, both sides, the
pomp and glamour of the troops
eaving Berlin for the front, and

A CHANGE IN THE
ATMOSPHERE
A PEACE FEELER WAS SENT
ACCORDING TO COUNT
ANDRASSY.
LONDON, April 22.—Count An
drassy, the former Hungarian Pre
mier, commenting on the recent
speech of the German chancellor,
said that it was actually the first
official German feeler for peace
“The chancellor defines Germany’s
attitude distinctly" said the Count,
explaining what he wants from
Russia, what he does not want from
France, what he intends to do with
Belgium and also his views on
financing the colonies
“The speech is a basis whereupon
peace negotiations may be begun—
conditions which leave the door
open to counter demands
“If Frenchmen read his words
with unbiased1 minds they will see
that Germany wants only to safe
guard her frontiers. The chancellor
does not ask the annexation of Bel
gium' but only that Belgium shall
not become a bulwark of Anglo
French forces whence they could
swoop down on Germany.
“The demand for indemnity from
France has been dropped, and the
only word about indemnity is the
suggestion that Russia indemnify
the population of East Prussia for
the devastation done there
“As regards the German colonies,
the chancellor asks only that some
of them be returned- Germany will
not even press for the return of all
of them and considers only the pro
bability of saving a few of them.”
