Of the 252 Fort Peck Indians registered for selective service, 113, or almost fifty per cent, have valunteered for army service, including five Indians who were employed on the staff of the agency. Figures from the twenty-six agencies ' show that the number of Indians who have volunteered for army service is fifteen times greater than the number inducted through the draft. The number of registrants at the twenty-six agencies is 7,407. Ot these, 574 have volunteered and thirty-seven have been in- ducted as of February 1. By now the figures are much greater. Hundreds of additional Indians whn have volunteered or who are in the National Guard units in various parts of the country— part’tularly Oklahoma, which has the largest Indian population— are not included in these figures. Many Oklahoma Indians are in the 180th Infantry, which has for its motto a phrase from the zi is U. S. Deputy Mar- ; meeting of THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 1941. Sitka Hunts For Poisoner Investigation Being Made for Unknowns Who Are Killing Dogs SITKA, Alaska, April 3.—(Special | Correspondence) — With the death toll of Sitka's dogs at fifteen in the past three weeks, citizens are fast son, or persons, spreading the pois- oned meat and candy throughout the city. On Tuesday, eleven pets died in the agony accompanying the ad- on the main streets of the city. Re- wards have been posted for infor- mation leading to the apprehension of the poison-spreader, but no clues have been unearthed. An investiga- tion has been under way by city officers, assisted by dog owners and other interested parties, with in- creased interest as each new case arises. Two of the city’s best known ani- mals fell victim during the first week of the poisoner’s operations. One was the late Walter Bacon's Golden Labrador retriever, and the other was “Mickey,” the pet of the | waterfront, who was a counterpart of Juneau's world-famous Patsy Ann. 3 | .- | JOUNSON BACK ..

They are to be a part of a spe- cial signal corps detachment chosen to make use of an Indian language for code purposes in communication. The Comanche language was chosen because it is little known and difficult to learn. Indians from other tribes may also be used in this work. During the World War an.in- stance was reported in which a front line artillery unit, having experienced great difficulty in preventing the enemy from in- tercepting and decoding 1ts mes- sages, hit upon the idea of using two Indians as telephone. opera- tors. They spoke to each other in their own language and com- pletely baffled the enemy, who never succeeded in decoding the mysterious and unintelligible sounds that came across the wires, Sl | THE WEATHER (By the U.
