Honolulu, July 20.
THE troubles of the East Indies, New * Guinea and North Australia have spread to Alaska according to latest reports.
Two thousand American salmon fisher men, on the eve of the annual salmon run, which by far is the world’s greatest, declare that they have counted 26 large Japanese fishing boats and floating can neries on the salmon grounds.
Spokesmen declare that, considering the equipment used by the Japanese, the salmon will be fished out within six years. Recently, American coastguard patrol boats investigated the area and found several Japanese vessels present, but apparently they were not engaged in salmon fishing.
Mr. A. J. Marshall, an Australian zoologist, who is at present in England after doing ornithological field work in Northern New Guinea, has just published a book about the New Hebrides. It is entitled “The Black Musketeers,” and presents the story of the island of Santo.
