MISSIONARY WENT DOWN WITH SHIP
of Seventh Day Ad- ventists Missionary Work In
 India on British Steamer.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. T. Advices from London received by Secretary Lansing state that Rev. Homer R. Salisbury, of Washington, was among the passengers of the British liner Persia who were lost when the steamer was torpedoed by an Austrian submarine last Thursday.
 Rev. Salisbury was a Seventh Day Adventist missionary who had spent years in India, where he was superin- tendent of the Adventist missionary work. He sailed on the Persia for Marseilles and was en route home. The advices received by the State de partment come from the officials of the P. & o. line and were transmitted to the American embassy at London. It is reported that all the lifeboats which escaped from the Persia when she went down have been accounted for and that Consul McNeely has been given up as lost

ITALIAN LINER
 CARRIED GUNS
Passengers State that Guns were Mounted on Linersby Order of
 the Italian Government.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-The Italian liner Guiseppi Verdi arrived in New York yesterday from Genoa. with a number of passengers, most of whom were Americans returning from Flu rope.
 The steamer carried two four inch guns mounted on her stern but the of- ficers of the steamer refused to be in terviewed regarding the arming of passenger ships. The passengers, hover, stated that it was under stood that the Italian government had been responsible for mounting tse guns, which were intended to repel attacks frAp submarines.
 The passengers report that the Italian liner Saloniki, which was tor pedoed in the Mediterranean sea early last month is still afioat and is menace to navigation. The Gusieppi Verdi, while running at night with her lights out to avoid submarines, narrowly escaped col lision with the derelict.
 It is admitted in official circles that the fact that the Italian steac, CTS have been armed will further complicate the controversy between the American and Austrian govarn- ments concerning the controversy between the American and Austrian governments concerning the sinking of steamers by Austrian submarines.
 The officials of the Italian steam ship company have also been notited by American officials that it is con- trary to international law for n:er- chant ships to enter Americat ports with mounted guns and that they must be removed.

WANTS ARMY OF
 0NE MILLION MEN
Secretary Garrison Wants Six Hus- dred Million Dollars for Ma
 tional Defense Program.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 7.~- Secretary Garrison, of the War de- partment. today laid before the House committee on military affairs, his plans for creating a mobile fed eral force of more than one million men before the end of six years.
 His plans also include the equip ment of the coast defenses and the ac- |cumulation of reserve supplies of mu- nitions which 1t is estimated would be sufficient to last the army until the government could organize to keep up the supply.
 According to the figures submit ted by Secretary Garrison the na- tional defense program of the admin istration, if it is favorably acted upon by congress will cost the nation tho huge total of six hundred million dol lars to inaugurate the system of de- lenses and two hundred million dol lars each year thereafter
 Speaking before the committee Secretary Garrison said: There will be those who believe and assert that the time when war can be avoid ed by negotiation or arbitration or other like means will be advanced if America should refrain from adopt ing proper military policy. but will be set back if we do. It is difficult to comprehend on what basis such a belief can reasonably rest. and there fore it is difficult to reason about it. It seems to rest upon the argument that if we are feeble and weak in ac- tion that we will be strong and per- suasive in counsel That by avoW- edly neglecting to prepare to protect our rights we will be the better able to secure our protection by appeal to arbitration or by argument.
 No one need have the slightest fear that our voice for peaceful set clement of the quarrels of nations will receive any the less attention because we stand for the right and are pre- pared to maintain it at any proper cost. On the contrary. the voice of such a one is always listened to and usually controls.

TUNGSTEN MINES
 VERY PROFITABLE Fairbanks Miners Receive $2,8OO for Ton of Concentrates which will
 be Shipped by Post.

FAIRBANKS. Jan. 7.-Johnson and Ewers, who are developing a mine located near the head of Gill more creek, have lead of tungsten ore which is four feet wide and has been found to increase in size with depth. The shaft is down more than fifty feet and the values are increas- ing.
 That the Fairbanks output of the tungsten mines will find ready mar ket is indicated by the eagerness with which users of the metal are watching the development of the var ious properties. as several of the big companies in the states have sent rep resentatives to investigate the mines here.
 Johnson and Ewers have sold the concentrates from the ore taken from the fifty foot shaft to the agent of the Primos Chemical company of Primos, Penn.,> at the rate of $2,800 per ton. The concentrates will be sent to the states by parcel post.
 The fortunate miners have refus- ed to contract for their ores and have increased their force with view of making a shipment of fifty tons of concentrates on the first steamer after the opening of navigation.

MANY MACHINES
 COMING ID VALDEZ
Reported that Arthur Wilcox will Bring Nine Machines and Es-
 tablish Stage Lines.

Valdez passengers returning on the Alameda yesterday from the States report that all indications point to a number of auto stages be- ing operated next summer between Valdez and Fairbanks.
 It is reported that Arthur Wilcox, who was formerly connected with the Big Four Mining company on Mineral creek. will bring nine machines north at an early date in order to arrange for q supply of fuel being taken in to be cached at points along the route.
 It will be remembered that before leaving Valdez last fall Wilcox pur- chased the tax title to the Young Mems Christian association lots from Albert White and announced that he intended using the concrete founda- tion as garage.
 The success which attended the op- eration of stages from Fairbanks to the coast last summer has attracted wide attention on the outside and many drivers who have been employ ing their machines as jitneys in the cities will come to Alaska to com pete for a share of the stage busi- ness.
 One gentleman who. is in close touch with transportation affairs in the north, states that he knows of seventeen machines, including the Wilcox outfit, which will make Val deg .neir heaaquarters next summer.
