Harding, Delano and Peters All Interested in Govern ment's Preparedness Plans
FUTURE MAY SHOW
 REAL IMPORTANCE
officials Looking More and More to
 the South as Desirable Location for Government Muni- tions Plants
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, November 29.-fSpe-
 dal)--In ordinary times special significance would be attached to the southern trip of w. F. G. Hard- reserve board and Andrew J. Peters, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. In the present time, however, when every mind Is concerned with 4 "preparedness," their trip south is | of more than ordinary interest. I These distinguished financiers will veave Washington Saturday. They will @pend Monday and Tuesday in New Or Bans, Wednesday in Birmingham, and Thursday in Atlanta.
 The government is determined to go Into the manufacturing business. In pre- Daring for a future emergency, con- Alteration will be given not only to a favy of ever-increasing power and a Handing army of ever-increasing gtrength, but the government will be soncerned more specifically in the mak- Eng of guns, shells, gunpowder and all Ether instruments by means of which seath is dealt
 WILL NOT DISCUSS OBJECT While it is very probable that on eheir visit south neither of the fnan- Eiers will directly discuss the purpose uf their visit, it is known in Washing pon that they go for the purpose of in E p fAr hn of tnding where the government can most Fisely invest in the event of emergency, Fhere the government can locate its ' Ernor-m making plant, its powder manu- kacturing plant, it's plant for the manu- }acture of shells.
 PREPAREDNESS IN THE AIR N While it is generally believed E that the United State within the next few years will not be engaged , in war, the European struggle is " teaching lesson. Preparedness is |l ins the atmosphere. If the United N States constructs it's manufacture N ing plants near the great lakes, Il they will be in easy access of Eng N land, or of Germany-should Ger N many win in the present war, and Il acquire Canada. Should the plants i be constructed on the Atlantic or
 the Pacific coast, they would be in N constant danger of capture by an European power. The safe place, l therefore, Is in the south, in an in- 4 land spot where the guns of bell ligerents could not reach, and where \ raw material can be had in great abundance.
 ' Neither MT. Peters, MT. Harding nor kr. Delano will discuss the purpose. of kheir southern visit, but that it will

The program opened with the sing ing of Annie Laurie by the mem bers, followed by roll call, mem berg answering with their fayorite cooking recipes. Many unique cul- mary triumphs were forthcoming, among them being 2 snow" cake. Any Alaskan lady who would like this recipe, in which snow takes the place of eggs, may have it for the asking.

 TOURNAMENT

Oakland, Calit., May 22-MauTics Mclaughlin, the worlds greatest tennis player, Is planning for next winter an international indoor ten ais tournament, to be played in ras new $I,O0O.OOO municipal aud ttOriLm iu Oakland.
 Mclaughlin, who lives in Oak land keeps la practice all the year round. During two months when tae rains come, he finds difficulty in getting practice. and has been looking for a suitable place to put up winter courts.
 The auditorium, recently opened and in which 100 cOnventiOns will be held ;lis summer, is, according to Mclaughlin, an ideal place for winter tennis. The floor is of maple, and with a canvas covering would make Q swift court The floor ir the arena Is 214 by 90 feet giving plenty of room for laying out the court.

cause the loss of valuable timber, which canot be restored for cen turies, and the destruction of homes as we'll. It is, therefore, suggested that since 50 many fires start from neglected camp fires the pub- lie be requested as follows:
 l. Do not build a larger fire than you need.
 2. Do not buold your fires in dehse masses of pine needles, duff, and other combustible material, where the fire is sure to spread.
 3. Do not build your fire against large logs, especially large rotten ones, where 1t requires much more work and time to put the fire out than you are willing to expend, and where you are rarely quite cer- tain that the fire Is really and com pletely extinguished.
 4. In windy weather and in dan gerous places, dig fire hole and clear off a place to secure your fire. You will save wood and trouble.
 5. Every camp fire should be completely pat out before leaving camp
 6. Do not build fires to clear off land and for other similar purposes without first taking the necessary precaution to Bee that the fire will not spread to surrounding timber.
The daily Alaskan., 1915-05-22

I hope to see one in Oakland next winter" said Mclaughlin today. q have been in correspondence with a number of the best men in the game, and a majority of them agree with me that such an event would be faster than an outdoor successful venture. The court would bee faster than an outdoor court, and tennis records would be made that would set standard for a long time to come. Oakland's warm winter weather would make the conditions practically ideal"
 McLauhlin has taken the matter up with the Oakland city officials and has been assured that there will be no objections to the use Of the auditorium for such a purpose

X WORD .OF TIMELY WARNING
 ID PEOPLE OUT IN TIE WOODS

The forest fires raging at Haines and vicinity reminds us that when there are periods of dry weather ther- is also great danger at shag- way. Large reas of forests public and private, are destroyed each year by fire. This destruc- tion is an injury to everyone and is great danger, especially In all mountain countries where a regular flow of streams Is of vital i'm portance. It Is also well at this time that the attention Of the pub lie be called to certain laws Dass- ed by congress which forbid:
 1. The setting of 6ires in the woods, and
 9. The leaving of camp fires without first etxinguishing them. them.
 This law also provides maxi mum punishment in fine of $5.- 900, or Imprisonment for two yeans. or both, if a fire is set maliciously, and a fine of s1,oOO, or tmrrison- ment for one year. or both, If a fire results from carelessness. This law also provides that the money from such fines be paid to the school fund of the county in which the offence Is committed. It is unfortunate that people will be so careless as to leave fires without extinguishing them and thereby

TO
 ARCTIC CIRCLE

Unable to visit Europe, several hundred Eastern tourists will em- bark for interior Alaska this sum mer. says the Seattle Times Of May 14th. For the first time in the history of the north, four man. moth excursions have been success fully arranged. Every reservation is sold.
 The itinerary covers a distance of several thousand miles of the finest scenery eXtant. The eNcTr- sionists were booked in the East, the work being done jointly by the Alaska Steamship company and the White Pass & Yukon railroad.
 The itinerary of the first two eX- cursions is from Seattle through tn waters of Southeastern Alaska to Skaway via Sitka, and thence across White Pass and down the Father of Northern Waters as far as Fort Yukon which is insiue the Arctic Circle and at which poi"t the sun is visible at midnight.
 The first excursion will leave Seattle on the steamship Maripcsa au June 12, and arrive at Fort fu- kon on June 21, the longest day in the year. It will then return upstream to Dawson and other points of interest on the river.
 The second excursion will leave Seattle on the steamship City Of Seattle on June fl and follow the same route.
 The other two excursions, which will cover a distance of about 5000 miles, will follow the same route as far as the mouth of the Panama river, where q side trip will be made to Fairbanks. The vessels will then continue down the Yukon to it's mouth at St. Michael. At this point the excursionists will be picked up by the steamship Victoria and carried to Nome, and thence to Southwestern Alaska by way of Shelikoff strait. The tourists will visit Cook Inlet, Seward, Valdez, Cordova and other points of interest
 The first party of tourists for this excursion will leave Seattle on June 12 and arrive at St. Michae, on July '. The second will leave seattle on July 10 and arrive at St. Michael August
 Excursions through the interior Of Alaska are not Q new idea. The Seattle chamber of commerce sue cessfully carried out cne of these trips in the summer Of 1912, but this is the first time that Alaskan interior travel has been arranged on so large a scale.
 We were somewhat dubious about carrying it out successfully when we began to make our ar engagements last fall," said A. F. Zipf, traffic manager of the White Pass & Yukon railroad, but after we got started there was no trouble. Every reservation has been sold and we had to refuse ac- commodations to many applicants. It is probable that we will arrange for q fifth excursion. Mr. H. Wheel CT, the general manager of the company, is now enroute to Skag- way, where he will take up this and other matters.

FAST QuAkERS
IN FIRST GAME
Brubaker's Men in Mid Sea
son Form, Expect to Start
Year With Victory on
Home Field.


Coach Brubaker is putting the
finishing touches on his Quaker team
in preparation for the first l. c. A. l..
game with Butler on Reid Field Sat
urday. The coach asserts that the
Christians will have to display mid
season for min order to snatch the
game from Earlham. Weak spots
shown in the Vigran game have been
eliminated and good men have been
found to take the place of the players
taken from the squad by eligibility
rules. In many cases the substitutes,
however, made better showings than
the regulars.
Fisher who went in behind the bat
does not let many get by him and has
developed a sure peg to the second
sack. James Parker who is filling
Fishers shoes in the garden is doing
it in fashion that would make big
leaguers sit up and take notice. In
addition to natural ability he knows
the game.
Butler is not ranked as one of the
strong teams of the l. c. A. L. this
season although a number of last
years veterans are on the squad.
Earlham's lineup will probably be:
Calvert, 1b; Hobbs, 3b; Meranda, 2b;
Logan, SIS; Bowen, If; Parker, CT;
