For Germans BERLIN, Feb. 15.—Adelph Hitler has taken action to give the Reich a canal from the Baltic to the North | Sea, wider than the Panama or Suez land this by the time the largest | battleship, the Bismarck, will be in commission two years hence. Hitler’s decision to have the Kiel Canal widened “to make it possible for traffic for the largest type of ships” is seconded by a sweeping decree of Field Marshal Goering, director of a four-year plan, where- by every German inhabitant can be commandeered for any job deemed necessary by the nation. The decree empowers the Federal Labor Office and its sub-depart-|_ ments to draft any worker needed at tasks of importance to the na- tion’s welfare, High barometric pressure prevailed this morning from the upper Yukon Valley southward over Southeast Alaska to California, the crest being 30.32 inches at Ketchikan. Low barometric pressure pre- vailed over the interior and western portions of Alaska, the Aleu- tians, and over the northeastern portion of the North Pacific Ocean, with a storm center of 28.80 inches at latitude 48 degrees and longi- tude 168 degrees. This general pressure distribution has been attend- €d by precipitation along coastal regions from the Aleutian Islands southeastward to Oregon and by generally fair weather over the Tan- ana and upper Yukon valleys.
