SECRETARIES OF Y. M. C. A. TROOP TRAINS TRAVEL TOTAL OF 9,320,000 MILES New York, Oct. 31. —Nine million three hundred twenty thousand miles, which is equal to 373 times around the earth, is the distance traveled by troop train secretaries of the Army Y. M. C. A„ according to figures, for a period ending October 15, issued by the Troop Train De partment in a report just made pub lic. The number of men served totaled 4,735,509 and they were car ried on 9,321 trains. These figures represent a double service, the first to recruits enroute to camp, and the second to men returning from Eu rope who were being sent to de mobilization camps. Since the armistice, this bureau has sent secretaries on 4,365 trains, hauling a total of 2,389,403 men. In the performance of this work the "Y" had 165 men who traveled con stantly, as well as 45 others called on in cases of emergency. However, none of the above figures cover the number of "Y" secretaries who were sent with soldiers from camps to the port of embarkation on their way overseas. Beginning in November, 1918, when there were but three trains and a total of 1,500 men moved, the num ber swelled rapidly. In January Influenza Made Heavy Inroads on Fur Trappers Seattle Oct. 31—Because influenza last spring nearly wiped out tribes of Eskimo and Indian trappers in the Arctic regions of Alaska and Canada, there will be little trapping it is said, in the Far North, for at least ten years, says reports receiv ed here. Furs from foxes raised in captiv ity on fox farms, will be on the market in numbers, however, as the number of fox farms being estab lished in Alaska and the Yukon Ter ritory is increasing yearly. Fur buyers will probably find consolation in the announcement that sealskin may be reduced in price during the next ten years. Year by year the United States Government's herd of seals on the Pribilof Islands off Alaska is in creasing and the United States Bureau of Fisheries, which has charge of the herd, hopes to see the pfices drop as the number of seals increases.
