When asked by a news- peper man what he expected to do sbout the naval affairs ot Germany in e future, Noske laughed and replied: “Why worry about naval affairs, when we haven't any navy?’ There are still-sailors in big nam- bers; in. Germany, however, and they bave been a problem. During the revo- Imtion the sallors played an important part, and post of them developed such a liking to land duty in Berlin and the other big .:emes that they have refused te leave for Kiel or any of-.the har- twors.

Immediately after the , armistice the army almost disappeared | as am organized unit, and though there willions of men in uniform scat- ’ ‘tered ali over the land, none was re- le to anyone, and officers were aot safe In uniform. In localities the soldiers Jo{zed “Red guard” groups, v and some gerved and others misused their privil¢ges. Thus the urmy as it ‘" was known!in the old days practieally ] wanished, except for a few divisions gader Hindenburg, camped behind the Rhine, and the troops along the Pollsh aorder. Now the only army of the fleld that @ermany has Is in the east to guard against theé Poles. It is commanded by Hindenburg and Is supposed to be #ot woré than 80,000° 6r 70,000 men, & it numbers that many.

Washington.—Uncle Sam -now re- celves about $1,000,000 anugal revenue from his Alaska fur seal service, pc- cording to a statement by H. M. Smith, commissioner of fisheries of the de- partment of commerce, For several yedrs the killing of sepls was stopped by law, but by an act of congress in 1917 it was resumed to a limited extent, the last year under vigilgnt official supervision. Under the ,'new wmetRods only the surplus wmales are killed. The herds off the Pribyloff islands are estimated to be made up of about: 525,000 seals, and the number killed “during the last.year was about 35,000. The skins after being. prépared for use were sold at an ‘average of $50 each, f i SIGNS 20 CHECKS AT A TIM Mechanical Device Aids War Risy Bureau in Handling Immense «Business. Washington.—The war. risk bareau now is [ssuing checks for allotments, allowané insurance: and compensa- tion th the same months that they fall due! Announcement was made that 1,062,- 566 checks were mailed in March, rep- presenting a total of $39,148,323.03. Since the bureau's establishment, near- ly $419,000,000 has been paid out. A ,mli('lmni('ul device’ by “which 20 checks are signed with an actual pen signature at one time has been in- stulled” to assist in bandling the enortons volume of business trans- acted by the bureau. AIRCRAFT WORK IS ENDED United States Production Bureau Hag -'Canceled All Undelivered War Orders. Washington—A statistical report on e status’ of - war orders shows the bureaw-of aircraft production hds prac- ticnily no contracts now in operation: 84 per cent of those in force Novem- ber 8, 1018, having been terminated and deliveries completed under 15 per cent, The ordnance department still has 12 per cent of its contracts active and the military raiiroads 10 per cent, while 74 per cent of the contracts for slgnal corps supplies are yet in op eration. The total March 15 was just one fifth that of November 8, 1918 PR R S R CAUGHT BIG TURTLE It Was an Old One and Was Set Free. A turtle measuring 6 feet from head to tail 'and 5 feet across its shell, the head being 15 inches in circumference, was caught recently by Japanese fishermen off Yokohama and released by Ah Long, Chinaman, who paid $55 for the privilege of giv- ing the turtle its freedom. The tur- tle weighed 600 pounds, and its age was estimated at 1,000 years. Probably the reason for the pur- chase and the freedom given to the tur- tle is that the reptile is a sort of sacred emblem and the Chinaman who can set one free in the ocean considers him- self especially blessed. An Interesting ceremony followed the financlal transaction. Ah Long fed the turtle with several bowls of sake, the favorite alcoholic drink of the Japanese (prohibition having made lit- tle inroads there), and accompanied by as many friends as could be accommo- dated in two sampans satled out to : Tawton, Okla—W.
