Special attention to the con servation of fish and an Increase In the output will be paid. Alaska Falling Into Line Alaska Is falling Into line In the food conservation problem in magnifi cent style, according to Food Adminis trator Gunnison, who Is a guest at the Portland hotel. He declared that the problem of getting the wheat flour substitutes Into Alaska and the prob lem of finding markets for fish which are not . now being put out are Bert out factors. He says that the native Indians of Alaska are heartily support ing" the government's food conservstion program. They say: "We did not have meat until the white man came and we got along without It. We do not need It now and can get -along on something else." Reviewing conditions In Alaska, Mr. Gunnison said : "Alaska has three separate geograph- when It comes to the distribution of goods.

Negotiations are pending-: with Spain to Insure safe shipment and delivery across her borders of other supplies needed by the Americans In France. Pending adjustment of this Spanish ships continue held up in American harbors. The American embargo will be em ployed ruthlessly when needed. The great punch must be developed this year. President Wilson says. America will turn every weapon to accomplish ment of this end. The allies are calling for more troops. The last of the first draft will be summoned to camp by February 15. It Is planned today, and the next draft will be called when fa cilities at the training camps are such as to permit a new influx In other words, when the first men drafted have been sent across in such numbers as to permit the entrance of more. Congress will be asked to turn a deaf ear to reports of strikes and riots In Germany when the war ' appropriation bill comes uMsoon.

Chairman Dent and Ranking Republican Member Kahn of the house military affairs committee aay. "No thought of an early peace can be allowed to cut down America's war preparations," said Kahn today. "They must be on an Immense scale, for it is our hope that the Immensity of these preparations itself will hasten peace. rates on all products sent to this section make the prices necessarily heavier than those of other parts of Alaska. "The Fairbanks division presents still another phase. Including as it does all Of the Yukon country. This section, while not Isolated, has Its own peculiar transportation problems. Products are sent In mostly tn the summer time. The 1 distribution is by water. Some supplies . are transported over the Ice. Reindeer It amber 10MH "In the Seward peninsula district which takes In the Nome section, the situation has another phase. After the navigation , closes the people of that part are forced to subsist on whatever supplies they have on hand when the open season ends. Mall goes In but once a month by dog team. "Alaska has a great number of rein deer. It being estimated that there are 100,000 of these animals north of Bris tol bay.? "Alaska Is doing all In Its power to 'help the government in this war and the victory bread . order is being ob served without complaint," A. TL Gardner of Port Townsend. Wash., head of the commissary depart ment of the Pacific Steamship company, will attend the coast conference to dis ctiss tha conservation of food -on steam ship lines and railroads. GREATEST PUNCH OF WAR BEING DEVELOPED This war is as much a war of morals as of men, and the critical year Is at hand, as President Wilson said. "We must show Germany that we are coming 100,000,000 strong, with em phasis on the 'strong,' and this should have the psychological effect of bring ing the German leaders to terms ; but if it fails, we will be much better pre pared to fight to the end. "But a Blackening up In the war work, so easy to come from the reports of German revolts, or in any way cutting down the war program, would be a most fatal mistake at this time. It can mean nothing but lengthening the war." To help drive home to Germany the realization that the United States is throwing all Its resources Into the fight and will fight to the end. Kahn not only favors registering for the draft all who have become 21 since the date of the first registration, but also training the young men from 18 to 21 so that they will be able to take their places in the army when they become of age. Likewise, he favors listing the men above the draft age to 45 to be used In Industrial work so the gov ernment, by an order, can effectively speed up any branch Of the war work. Kahn Is not dissatisfied with the rec ord of the war department and he be lieves the war machine la rapidly de veloping speed and much greater ef ficiency. But particularly he Is anxious that the whole program can be gradu ally Increased and that peace rumors shall not act as a brake On the work. The military appropriations bill, I which will carry more for any division . of tha government than any bill, ever ; reported, is fast being completed. Hear ings will be completed early tnis weeic Chairman Dent says, and! little dif ficulty tn reaching agreement over the various Items is expected, for the com mittee is determined that any future delay la. the war work shall not be charged up to any insufficient appropri ation. ' Tlflht Oow Is Battle Cry 5 London. Feb. 4. Tight on!" i . That s the stirring battle-cry of the allied nations today that has followed the rejection of the Austro-German peace terms by the supreme interallied war council at Versailles. The decision of the council has met with a hearty response in the entente capitals, and tho belief was expressed on everv side that the bold stand taken by the allied representatives will in spire the soldiers In the neia to iresn victories and mightier endeavors. ; The council came to a close with the fixed determination to wage the war more vigorously than ever against the central empires. The Versailles meeting was charac terlsed by complete unity and absolute solidarity en all the big questions under discussion. A new- pledge was taken to continue the war until the German and Ausiro Hungarian governments discard their cloak of hypocrisy and consent to the negotiation of peace on the principles of freedom, justice and International law. British newsDaners. in their comment today upon the outcome of the council, state that a most Important step has been taken "on the road to victory" The only criticism was in the News. The News declared the people should know the details of the enlarged powers of the council. It also criticized the council's lack of appeal to democracy and Its failure to re-state allied war alma The Times' attitude was typical of the remainder of the morning papers. "The council's statement tended to dispel the deceptive peace fog that has gathered artificially and thickened in many allied capitals during the dreary months of the winter." declared the Times. The Post said: "The supreme war council realized, that only a military ef fort by the allies could change the tem per of the enemy so aa to justify the hope of a real peace."

Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and ruins it.

Odd Lines on the field of battle In almost daily clashes with the Germans has brought home to this country the realisation that our participation tn the war is now in deadly earnest. More and more men are to be sent across the seas. And while thus far fortune has remained at the side of the transports, officials point out that any day may see one lost, the victim of a U-boat that has eluded the American guard. The kaiser's papers have scoffed at ' the American soldier. 4 They have laughed at our officers, men upon whom, they say. Secretary Baker has "sewed epaulets." But these men, after months of patient training, are an rlnr the German fire in front Una trenches with sreat American sruns. 1 Ships continue a vital need. U-boats are sinking ships on an average of over 4.000.000 tons a . year, according to figures here. How closely the shipping program of this country and the allies , is making up for this cannot be accu rately estimated. But It is now deemed unlikely America can contribute more than 1.000,000 tons this year, although Chairman Hurley of the shipping board is still confident of 6.000.000 tons.
