GRAND TOUR OF WAR ZONEi
 ONLY GUINEAS, SA%fu AD

Join the war excursion and see the German rout from the sidelines for yourself! Fare, guineas"
 Seeing the war while the battles are raging on all sides is the latest fad of the English faddists. The whole of England has been placarded with am nouncements of the "Joffl @" tour of the battlefelds of 1914, mobilizing on and after Dee. 26, at the White House New street, Birmingham. The first of the proposed trips were received in Chicago recently.
 "To visit Paris and the battlefelds of France while the enemy is still in France is indeed an experience" the reads. Such tours have been arranged. The route will be via Folkestone- Boulogne. thus follow ing in the footsteps of the British ex- peditionary forces
 The organization staging the tours Is known as the British Travellers club.

DAINTY MUSTACHE IS
 HUBBVS UNDOlNG

If Edward Rochette were in Ger many and could live dfwn the French mess of his name, his spiral pointed. perfumed. carefully missed mustache might win him higf iailitary rank. says a Chicago newsparrr
 Rochette, who because.of his Ameri- can residence is a plain-and fancy salesman. toyed with hs hirsute pet in the Stock Yards court while his wife was telling Judge Mahoney of her domestic troubles.
 "I have a rooming house at S339 ln- diana avenue" she said When my first husband died I inherited little money. Then Rochette persuaded me to marry him Now he beats me when l don't give him enough money to spend on drink"
 Judge Mahoney had been gazing fix ediy at Rochette fondly caessing the upholstered upper lip.
 ''T do not doubt your story. madam he said Beware of the man who has a pointed mustache and keeps curling it-thats my motto. Andlyon' Roeh- ette, you are not worth powder enough fined s100 and costs"

wishes.

Should the legislature fail to repeal the law the people of the Territory are irrevocably bound to it's conditions. with no appeal and We hardly see the necessity of this, when, if left to the option of the people. the matter can be handled by the local government. There is really no occasion for the business people of Nome to trouble themselves as to the proba bility of the legislature repeating the law, for as far as we are concerned. if it is the wish and desire of the people of this community to remain closed as at pre- sent, 1t can be made an issue at the coming election and definitely settled as far as this town is concerned. There is little reason to doubt that the pre- sent conditions are entirely favored by all the business interests, with the pos sible exception of the liquor dealers. but in the event of the repeal of the law their case. as well as that of the others interested, is entirely in the hands of the community for adjust ment, according to the wishes of the people.

uNPasPAReoNess ILLUSTRATED

What was the military necessity" asked Representative Roberts. referr- ing to the Vera Cruz occupation, of keeping eighteen battleships off Vera Cruz and Tampico when Vera cruz was held by the American army and mariners"
 There were not eighteen all the time" replied the secretary. The number was gradually reduced from eighteen to four. If we had had |" blockade all the Mexican ports" he explained, all the battleships would have been needed. If we had gone to Mexico City we would have had to take half the navy with us."- (From hearing before House Committee on Naval Atfairs)
 If we had gone to Mexico City We would have had to take half the navy with us," thus illustrating again the unrea diness of the republic to carry on military operations competentiy and economically.
 Taking a force of sailors on an ex-
 edition to Mexico City could be justi- fled only by unexpected necessity. That was a job for the army, but partly be- aause of imaginary diplomatic distinc- lions and partly because of congress neglect to make proper minimum pro eision for our army, the government was on the point of dfa wing away half the trained men of the fleet to under = take what might have been a san ,uinary expedition. Our naval per sonnel is only 90 per cent of the proper complement for all effective ships It takes time to train sailors Yet we were making ready to dray off half the men of our battle fleet for d land ex- cursion.
 This is typical of our asinine hand ling of military matters

City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, MARCH 27, 1915.
THE SUNDAY CLOSING LAW.

While the meeting called by the Chamber of Commerce last night for the purpose of discussing the proposed repeal of the Sunday closing law, did not materialize, it Is apparent that the matter is agitating, in no small degree, the minds of many of the business peo- pie of the community. There appears to be a considerable divergence of ideas among the business men although proposed appeal with dlsfavor. The majority hold that it is desirable to remain closed on Sunday and it is their wish to do so, yet in the event of the law being repealed it is claimed that their desires must be set aside for that the absence of a compulsory closing law will necessitate their remaining open to meet the competition of those who will voluntarily open if allowed to do SO They hold that this is not fair and there seems to be a deal of reason in this view In Nome, as in all com munities, there are those who will avail themselves of every opportunity to turn a dollar regardless of the day and these are bound to remain open unless forcibly compelled to do other wise. While, as before stated, the ma arit fch fn remain closed. business competition is keen and the necessity of protecting their trade perforce compels them to remain open. The contention that they should not be compelled to this meas ure merely because of the inclination of few is assuredly just and reason- able but it appears that the desire to influence the Territorial Legislature into upholding tho present law is both unwise and unnecessary as in the case of Nome, at least. there are other and far handler remedies to meet this con- dition.
 As far as Nome is concerned the matter can easily be regulated by city ordinance, and this applies also to all incorporated towns within the terri torial boundaries of Alaska. AS a mat ter of fact the question of Sunday closing is one which should rest pri- marily with the community. If the inhabitants of town. because of in ellnatlon or necessity, desire to remain open it should be their right and privi- lege to do so. There is little doubt that the present rigid law entails n hardship on many communities and there is really no good reason why an arbitrary law. such as is the one now in affect should compel the people Of a com munity to submit to conditions which are in no way in keeping with their

SEEN AND HEARD
BY GEORGE MINER
Special Correspondent Of The Washington Herald.
(Cs,yrisht. 1sI5 Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate,

New York. Dec. 23-The preparedness
propaganda has taken hold of the New
York police department. A committee on
preparedness has been formed in the de-
partment and II has evolved a scheme.
A sarcastic person might remark that
II was n pretty queer police force that
needed a committee to prepare It: that a
police force that wasn't prepared WASH I
police force at all. and other comments
OF an equally complimentary nature.
All that sort OF talk is uncalled for.
however. as the preparedness title Of the
committee Is little misleading. II is
really a committee on ways to supple
ment the police force. Most any good
citizen will subscribe to that idea, al
though there are a number of people who
assert that there are too many police
men around anyway. except when you
want one. and then there Is never any 10
be found.
Not Popular with All
There Is still another limited class who
would like to see the police force abol-
ished entirely. especially the plain
clothes men. But then porch climbers
and dips are always complaining. You
never can please them.
This committee on prepa redncss ha.,
recommended to Commissioner Arthur
Wood the raising OF what might be- called
police militia. His recomn vndation l.
about as far as the matter has gone at
present. but both the commissioner and
his inspectors and captains ar. perfectly
well agreed that IL the idea can be car
ried out It will be q fina thing for the
city of New York ard the police depart
ment as well
Commissioner Wood explained to me
that the scheme was to have an organ
ization of citizens recruited and trained
by regiments. who would volunteer to do
auxiliary police work in time OF cmcr-
gercy. and who would consent to be
drilled by police officers and would give
up a certain number of hours each week
for drill and study without anv form
OF remuneration. badge Of authority or
uniform. or any such privilege.
Many Have Volunteered.
The police militia. said Mr.. Wood
rs intended to be used only for cmer-
Gency work and for no other form Of
police duty in dime of peace. One OF our
Inspectors has already received assur-
ances from a large number OF citizens
that they will volunteer and be more
than willing TO do this work In return for
the drill and instruction which they will
receive"
Who pays the expenses-the city,"
asked
No. That Is a surprising thing about
It. They are not looking for pay or
