Ttwould be a great Christmas achieve n:ent, the s-Advertiser says, if SC me man would persuade Great Bri- tain, Germany. France, Russia, Italy, Japan and the United States not to lay down another warship before Christ mag of 1915. It would be a still greater ;thievement if someone could per srade these nations to cease building warships altogether and at the same time to cut down their military estab- lishmcnts on land. Such an achieve
 nent at the present time, however, seems outside the bounds of proba- tility though the masses of the people tho world over are awakening more and more to the advantages of main taining peace with their neighbors and
 .ttting rid of the vast armies and

The fight which is going on in the senate over the tolls repeal bill will probable te a bitter one in which srtcial interests will largely enter but which on final vote will be determin- ed by the construction placed upor one clause of the Hay -Pauncefot, treaty, which 1t is claimed, estopes the United States from exemptine United States coasters from tolls.

NOME, ALASKA, APRIL 10, 1914.

Two of the pioneers of Alaska were entertained in Tacoma the other day two men who have the welfare of Alaska at heart and who by extensive ki owledGe of the country, gained by personal observations and experience are qualified to discuss the resources and needs of the country. These men are Governor J. F. A. Strong and Bishop Rowe. Governor Strong holds hi: position primarily because of his familiarity with the country, coupled with his known ability and integrity and Bishop Rowe who is in Alaska not because he is thrust here by the laws of his church or because not capable Of occupying a wider field of action. if they be one, but because he loves the work in this northland and loves it's people as they do him. He has been offered field of work in the states but he prefers Alaska. Such men as Strong and Rowe are powers for good in the. territory and command the con fdence and respect. not only of the people of Alaska but the whole Uni- ted States and as two of cur grandest pioneers they will, in the future as ir the past, be in the first fighting f.: everything that will develop Alaska alcng lines of the greatest good to the whole people of the territory.

LONDON'S EXPOSITION
TO BE HELD IN MAY

| (By United Press staff Correspondent
London, April 21.-Five million dol
lars worth of American art fully in
sured against suffragettes); the long
est scenic railway in the world; more
than 100 buildings crammed with ex-
hibits showing the century's progress
in science, industry, literature, inn
provements in the comforts of life,
and betterment of the conditions of
working men and women; garden OF
$4,000 English trees; a magnificent
working model of the Panama Canal;
reproduction of the room in which
the historic treaty of Client was sign
ed-these are some of the outstanding
features of the Anglo-Saxon Amer
ican Exposition which is to be opened
here in the second week in May.
Three thousand decorators are now
busily engaged in converting the fam
GUS "White City," London's perma-
nent exhibition grounds at Shephards
Bush where the exposition is to be
held, into a rainbow city for the oc-
.casion. Most of the displays already
are in place, and the keen interests
which British as well as American
manufacturers are taking in the sue
cess of the enterprises indicates tina.
all of the available 100 acres o. ex-
.hibition space will have been filled
before the day Of dedication.
The Exposition is the fret item i'll
the general program arranged by the
British and American Peace Centen-
ary Committees for the celebration OF
the hundred years of unbroken peace
between the English-speaking nations
All the profits are to be devoted to
objects of national utility in both
countries, among those being the en-
dowment of scholarships and annual
prizes in connection with the study
of social and commercial economics.
The out-growth of suggestion by
the American Society in London,
plans for the Exposition were inaug-
urated a year ago at meeting of in
fiuential British citizens and Amer
leans resident in England over which
the Lord Mayor of London presided.
Seventy peers, including five dukes,
more than 200 members of Parliament
and distinguished representatives Of
the arts and industries to the num-
Der of 1000 constitute the British
general committee having in charge
the details of the Exposition. The
Duke of Connaught is the official pa
tron and the Duke of Teck presidene.
During an extensive tour in the Unit
ed States the Earl of Kintoro, chair
man of the executive committee, to-
gether with Imre Kiralfy, director
general of the Exposition, succeeded
in enlisting the cooperation of some
800 boards of trade and chambers Of
commerce, in addition to promises OF
hearty support from the officials Of

Despite the fact that the British
government has persisted in refusing
to provide for official participation
in the big Canal show next year, a
large number of British exhibitors
have agreed to keep their displays
at the Anglo-American Exposition in
tact after its close in October and to
ship them bodily to San Francisco.
Machinery covering more than 430,-
600 square feet, several thousand tons
Of it from America, was in place a
month ago, and an extra building had
to be provided for the overflow. Sir
John Barker, chairman Of the textile
section, says that in no previous ex-
position in England or elsewhere
have the British members of this in
dustry been SO largely represented. A
special section is to be devoted to the
progress made by both countries in
transportation by land, sea and air.
The Panama Canal model, located
in the American section of the In
dustrial Halls, showing every detail
of the big ditch, has been constructed
by American engineers who have
worked on the Isthmus, at cost Of
$4,000. Model ships of various types
will be used to demonstrate the op-
Grafton of the locks and towing de-
vices, miniature trains drawn by real
locomotives will travel the banks, and
at night the scores of lighthouses,
buoys and beacons will be Illuminated.
Of all the features of the exposition
it is expected that the art display
will be the most notable. Housed in
the Fine Art Palace, one of the best
equipped buildings of it's kind in Eu-
rope, containing 80 galleries for
paintings in addition to 10000 square
feet of sculpture, this exhibit will
form one of the most representative
collections of British and American
modern art brought together. Owing
to the great value of the art exhibit,
many paintings being masterpieces
loaned by wealthy American families,
the Exposition authorities have taken
out at Lloyd's special form Of in
surance policy which covers possible
damage by Mary Richardson or other
suffragettes. Among the paintings is
Seymour Thomas official portrait Of
President Wilson,. which next year
goes to San Francisco exposition and
later will be hung in the White House.
. Several international congresses
will be held at the Exposition during
the summer, one of them having been
arranged by the Southern Commercial
Congress of Washington d. C. It is
planned to have conference of 100
mayors from the United States with
a similar number from Great Britain
for the discussion of various problems
of commercial municipal government,
under the presidency of Sir Vansit-
tart Bowater, Lord Mayor of London.
