(By Associated Press;
SPOKANE. Jar.. 4 A nation-wide
campaign in every town and hamlet
to help farmers to produce the maxi
mum of food stuffs during the war has
been proposed to the National lum
ber manufacturers’ association by
Secretary A. L. Porter of the Western
Retail Lumbermen’s association.
The plan provides that for three
days or a week in March or April, all
merchants, professional men, bankers!
and citizens generally throughout the
county hold meetings to help and en-j
courage the maximum production of
foodstuffs next season. Mr. Porter sug
gests that lumbermen be prepared to
submit figures on building complete
barns, silos, machinery houses, etc.,
leaving the farmer free to devote his
full time to getting in his crop.

Shortly after a search party had
been organized to go out after Capt.
Jack Cann, wife and others, word
was received that they had arrived at
Juneau in the afternoon. Three
weeks ago Capt. Cann started for his
cannery at Icy Straits accompanied
by his wife. The boat went aground
near HoO’hah and after getting it off
nothing further was heard of them.

ARMY MANOEUVRES
IN JAPAN CHANGED
(By Associated Kress)
TOKIO, Jan. 5.—The annual army
manoeuvres this fall differed from
those of preceding years in two res
pects. First, there was some attempt
at air fighting, although only a few
machines were used the work was
sharply done and for the first time
in Japan. The other departure was
the adoption of German tactics for
the concentration of troops by rail
ways. The attacking arm, too, was
larger than the army of defense and
this was an unusual feature. The
emperor in his address to the troops
aa
| pointed out the necessity for new tac
tics to meet changed conditions in
| Europe.

TOKIO, Jan. 5.—Breaking off the
Rleel negotiations with the United
States has not created the sensation
which had been supposed would fol
low. The authorities are able to an
nounce that the stock of steel shapes
on hand is unexpectedly large and
that the ship builders can adopt meas
ures which will enable them td go on
without great inconvenience nntil the
government steel works came to their j
assistance.
