RESOLUTIONS OF COINCIDENCE.

Denver, Colo, May 16, 1915.
Resolutions of coincidence on the
death of Willie Williams. who depart
ed this lite May IA. 1915:
Whereas, The ruthless hand Of
death has visited our midst, and today
behold there is vacancy in Class No.
10. Through His mighty power he has
come and taken our dear little friend
and schoolmate, Willie.
Whereas, We realize no words OF
ours can express our love for him in
the Sunday School and Glass No. 10.
We deem it but fitting to extend our
greatest sympathy to the bereaved
mother, family and relatives.
Whereas, we feel our loss and the
loss to the family is heavens great
gain, therefore be 1t
Resolved, That we as Sunday
school and church as a whole extend
to the bereaved mother, family and
relatives our greatest sympathy in
this their hour of grief and sorrow.
and in memory of him we scribe these
lines:
There are moments in life We cannot
forget,
Till the light of our being in darkness
has set
And our souls ever turn with a loving
regret,
To a time when loved one was here.
Then we dreamed not of sorrow, we
thought not of woe,
At the time when our Willie was near
Then a link in the chain which had
bound us to earth,
Rudely broken when Willie was
snatched from the hearth,
Then the death angel garnered a spirit
Of worth,
For the heavenly mansion above,
When your life's journey ends in the
sweet life to be,
When your Willie you'll greet ana
your tired soul is free,
In the heavenly mansion above
Be it further Resolved, That copy
of these resolutions of coincidence be
sent the family and the city paper and
the same spread upon our minutes.
Respectfully submitted,
w. A. MOORE.
Superintendent Sunday School.

AMERICAN NAVY |S OETER|ORAT|NG
 SAYS MEYER

NEW YORK, June 15.-George Won l.. Meyer, a prominent Massachusetts man, and a former secretary of the navy, who held office under two presi- dents. and has devoted much time and study to naval affairs, made an address on the preparation of the United States for war before the Peace Prep aration Conference of the National Security League today. Meyer said that the American navy is fast de teriorating, and he urged that the government adopt a comprehensive plan for the national defense. Of the 33 battleships this country has in commission, only 21 are ready for active service, and the remainder could not be put in condition to fight except after long delay. The navy needs many more men, as he said that most of the ships were under manned tn eAtlantic fleet alone need ing 5000 men at this moment.

GREECE RETURNS VEN|zEL|OS TO

ATHENS, June 15.-Conditions are beginning to favor the return to power of former Premier Venizelios. Venize
 los was the premier of Greece during the Balkan war, and has always been an ardent exponent of expansion of Greece. For that reason he has con- sistently worked to have his country enter the present war on the side of the allies, but his exposition of that policy forced his retirement from the cabinet in favor of a government pledged to peace. Since then there has been an election, and Venizelios has been returned to Parliament. Par. liament may not meet until August so that the present ministry will prob ably remain in power until then. The present king has never approved the

MINING BUREAU FOR ALASKA
 IN FUTURE

Answers to the memorials sent to congress and government bureau chiefs by the territorial legislature have been received by Chas. k. Davidson, secretary of Alaska.
 The one respecting the establish ment of a mining station at Juneau reads:
 Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines, Washington, May IT, 1915.
 MT. Charles k. Davidson, Secretary of Alaska. Juneau, Alaska. Dear Sir Referring to your letters of April 29th addressed to the president of the United States Senate and the secre- tary of the interior, which have been referred to this office for considera- tion, and your letter of the same date, addressed to the director of the bureau of mines. all transmitting cer- tlfed copies of Senate Joint Memorial No. 8, passed by the Alaska territorial legislature, relative to the establish. ment of a mining experiment station at Juneau:
 While congress has enacted into law the bill authorizing the establishmnet of ten mining experiment stations and seven safety stations. in addition to those already established-wth the proviso, however that not more than three such stations shall be estab- lished during any one fiscal year-no appropriations were made available for carrying the provisions of the law into effect.
 Until such appropriations are pro- vided, nothing can of course be done so far as the actual establishment of the stations is concerned. The impor- tance of Alaska from a mining stand point and of Juneau as a mining center is fully appreciated by the bureau of mines. and. when the matter of loca- tions of the stations is taken up for | determination, the claims of Juneau for recognition will be given careful consideration.
 | Very truly yours, ! CARL, I. PARSONS Acting Assistant Director.

CHARITY WORK IF ROCKEFELLER
 COMMITTEE

WARSAW, June 15.-The work of the Rockefeller Commission in the relief of Flock, the capital of the government of that name, 50 miles northwest of Warsaw, is described by a resident who escaped the vigilance of German patrols and escaped to this city. He said that until the arrival of the Rockefeller representatives there was no organization for the re- lief of the poor, the local committee being entirely without funds. The bakeries were turning out only army bread made almost entirely of pota- toes and selling at 12 cents a pound. There was no rye or wheat bread at any price, while eggs were selling at 15 cents apiece. All the copper money has been collected and shipped to Germany. All milk products were ap- propriated by the German staff for it's own use and for the thirty hospitals in the city.
 The country for 20 miles around he described as total waste. By order of the German authorities a tax oi $25,0 was levied upon the city and pending its payment five prominent Poles and five Jews were being i'm. prisoned. The Rockefeller represen tatives had established two free lunch places, one for the Polish population and one for the Jews.
