ALASKA'S FISH
10 HELP FEED
COUNTRY
Declaring that the fishi of Alas
ka are of an excellent food quality
and tliat proper utilization, of them
will ,sro far toward helping to meet
the nation's war-time food needs,
Secretary of Commerce Redfield has
written the following letter to the
Dally Alaskan and othor Alaskan
newspapers.
"In his recent letter to the Am
erican people the President has
eloquently and clearly presented
'he duty and privilege of every citi
zen to rally to the support of the
country in the emergency now
confronting it. Ho laid particular
emphasis on the opportunities af
forded those, who for various rea
sons may not bg able to join the
fighting forces, to render other
servlce no lesg necessary and laud
able, especially in, increasing the
supply of food stuffs of which under
the stress of war there is likelihood
of a dearth. It is necessary that
the present sources of food sup
ply should be maintained and new
sources created and developed in
order to provide well fed men for
the conduct of actual military op
erations. The success of the un
selfish undertaking in which the
country has embarked is dependent
on each one of us performing h-is
full patriotic duty in tbe field in
which he can be used most effect
ively.
Useful Americanism
"Alaska came under the flag at
tlhe close, and largely as a rosult,
of one great conflict, and it has
just completed its first half cen
tury of useful Americanism '.on the
eve of another. It is peculiarly
fitted by reason of its great na
tural resources and the enterprise
of those who do business within its
borders for rendering further and
inestimable service at this critical
time in tho country's history, and
I am confident that it will respond
to the call of duty and opportunity.
"It is probablo that there will
ho difficulty in materially increasing
the yield of some of the fisheries
of the Atlantic coast on account of
the demand for small vessels for
military purposes. Alaska's duty
arises from the fact that it is
absolutely necessary to increase the
total yield of tho fisheries and her
opportunity lies in her pcssession
of vas* unutilized fishery resources.
The salmon fisheries in (many places
are being prosecuted as intensive
■l|y as i9 permissible witfli due con
sideration to tho danger of over
fishing and *he ma!ntenance of the
future supply, and moreover are
so well organized that they will
undoubtedly be conducted vigorous
ly during tho coming season, but
ther# are other fishes in abundance
wMch are not used as they should
be.
Alaska Fish In Demand
"The most important of these is
the herring, which is widely dis
tributed and In quality is equal to
that of the Atlantic. The demand
for this fish, olckled, is growing ra
pidly. The sablefish1 (black cod)
for which ,the Bureau of Fisheries
is establishing a large market,
fresh, frozen, and kippered, is one
of tne finest of American food fish
es and exceedingly abundant in
Southeastern Alaska and contiguous
waters. The atkafish, frequently
called "atka mackerel" and "attu
macVerel," is regarded by many as
superior to the true mackerel when
pickled in the same manner.
"All of these fishes lend them
selves to preservation by salting and
in view of the dearth of tin plate,
which may interfere with, any large
increase in the pack of canned fish,
I can not too strongly urge that
large quantities of all of them be
cured during the coming season.
There is no doubt that the de
mand for them will be heavy next
winter and the Bureau of Fisheries
will take steps to make the public
acquainted with their merits. The
Bureau's agents in Alaska w.'il lend
fishermen and salteries all possible

U BOAT BEATEN OFF IN
BATTLE WITH STEAMEB
Survivors of Coronada Reach
Halifax, N. S., and Relate
Thrilling Story of Fight.
Halifax, N. S.—Twenty-one survivors
of the British steadier Coronada, which
was torpedoed 100 miles off the Irish
coast, arrived <>u a Britkjh steamer,
which picked them up nine hours after
the Coronada went down. Nln-» men
were ost by the capsizing of ihe'r life
boat.
Th.i survivors reported they had
scarcely reached the deck of the rescu
ing sieamcr lh.:n tliey witnessed a
thrilling iiall'e bilween another tramp
steamer untl a s'jliiu.srine, in which the
submarine probably received its death
blow. On;' of tlie i 'rnimada's men said:
"I was looking alt when 1 saw what
looked to be a .steamer coining up
astern. Siia \v;;s waking pretty good
time considering tl.e class that comes
around as cargo hunts. I took the
glasses and saw that the steamer was
in action with a submarine and was
certainly holding her own. As 1 watch
ed I saw a spurt of smoke issue from
her stern gun and hit dangerously
close to the periscope of the subma
rine. As the shot struck the submarine
came to the surface, and a second later
I saw the water sbeot like u geyser
alongside the Britisher.
"Before the submirino could get un
der water the tramp returned this Are.
As I watched the submarine I saw a
shot land right at her side. There was
a gush of water, and when the sea had
quieted down once more there were no
signs of the German craft. Whether
she was sunk by the last shot of the
Britisher or whether she managed to
escape I cannot say, but this I know
that the battle ended in a manner
which left little doubt as to who had
the best of it."
