VALDEzTE UNABLE TO
 GET IN BRITISH NAVY

England has more applications for in its navy than it has posi- tions for, according to Henry T. Row bottom, formerly connected with the Fairbanks radio station, and now at Valdez. Last summer, Rowbottom, who belonged to the signal corps, was and went to England after the war broke out. with the hope that he could get into the British navy. When he made application for enlist ment, he found that there were so many on the waiting list ahead of him that he could not get a place for months. and so returned to the states.
 Rowbottom was formerly a sailor in the British navy. and is a trained and able-bodied seaman and au- around athlete. At one time he was champion swimmer of the Red Sea fleet of the British navy
 Disguised with his failure to gain admission to the British navy, Row bottom returned to Valdez, and with in the next few days will enlist again in the United States signal corps.

BODY OF SOLDIER SHIPPED TO
 H|S HOME

The body of private F. E. Johnson, of the United States Signal Corps, who lost his life by being frozen to death in a storm near Rapids, on the Chitina-Falrbanks trail. Is being ship ped to the home of his people at Cor. ington, Ky. at the instigation of the commanding officer at Fort Liscum.
 Johnson met his death in the per formance of his duties as a soldier of the United States army. He came North last summer with the contigent of infantrymen which Is now at Fort Gibbon, and was assigned to winter duty at Donnelly. He was therefore totally unacQuainted with the hard ships he had to undergo, and was caught unawares in one of those bliz- gards which sometimes occur in the mountains through which he had to travel and which sometimes make the most hardened oldtimer fear for his life.
 or all the tragedies of the trails in Alaska, none, perhaps, is more pathe- lie than that which claimed the life of Johnson. New details recently ob- tained, when the soldiers horse was found, proved that Johnson gave up his life heroically, while attempting to save the horse and carry out his orders.
 The horse was found about six miles north Of Rapids, almost covered by a great snowdrift The animal had A blanket partly on, and was hitched to a sled. The horse and sled were taken to Bowman's, the animal being none the worse for the exposure.
 Palmer, the operator in charge of the McCallum station, found tracks leading into the Rapids relief cabin and out again. From this fact. and the appearance of the interior of the cabn, 1t is thought that Johnson reached there safely, and that, failing to find Palmer there as he expected. he started out again, with the hope of rescuing the horse, That he became exhausted and finally was compelled to lie down, is the opinion of those who are Investigating the case.
 The Rapids relief cabin is situat- ed between Donelly and McCallum. Upon orders from Valdez, Johnson started to take a stove and other fixtures to the cabin. At the same time, Palmer. the McCallum operator, left his station for the relief cabin, to assist Johnson.
 Whatever the circumstances at. tending the death, the officers and men of the signal corps feel that Jonson met his death like a soldier, obeying orders and trying to preserve government property.

BRYAN CLAIMS A
VICTORY FOR HIS
IDEALS Of PEACE
EX-SeCretary Welcomes the
Changed Tone of Press in
Comment on Note-WOuId
Let People Decide Problem.

WASHINGTON, June 11.-William
Jennings Bryan, in a statement today
claimed a victory for his peace ideals
as indicated by the new attitude which
he says has been taken by the press
Of the country. He also approved a
suggestion that the voters of the
United States decide whether the na-
ton should go to war, if this be de-
sired, and that those who vote for war
first go to the front. Mr.. Bryan's
statement reads:
81 am glad to note the change in
the tone of the press in regard to
the note of Germany. From the time
the papers began to publish forecasts
down to yesterday the jingo editors
have been predicting that the matter
would be dealt with great firmness
that Germany would be told that
there must be no more delay in the
acceptance of this cOuntry's demands
etc. Instead of waiting until the note
was issued, they put their own con-
structiOn upon il in advance and col
ored it to suit their own purposes.
1T is a relief to find the papers
now emphasizing the friendly tone of
the note and pointing out that it does
not necessarily mean war. Something
has been gained if the warrior jour
nalists at last realize that the country
does not want war, but that. on the
contrary it will support the president
in his efforts TO find a peaceful So
luton of the difficult problem raised
by the use of the submarine against
merchantmen"
Let The People Decide
Mr. Bryan, after handing out this
statement, told reporters a story of
how a congressman replying TO jingo
speech said:
while l am not personally against
war, I am in favor of the country hav-
ing what II wants. If il wants war
let us have war, but let us find out
first logically and justly what the
voice OF the people is, If it becomes
necessary to ascertain the sentiment
OF the country. / suggest that a bal
lot be taken. Let those who want
war vote for it; those opposed to war
against ii, and let the vote be taken
with the understanding that those who
vote FOR war enlist first and that those
who vote against war will not be
called upon until after those who want
war have exhausted their efforts"
Asked if he Joined in this sentiment.
Bryan said: Il still believe in the
rights of the people to rule and
tbdnk that the congressrnan's sug-
gestiOn might insure deliberate ac-
ton on the part of the voters"
